The video call was made to the headquarters of Cawthorn County. When a staff member saw the incoming Joy's video call request, he turned around and said, "Sir, we’re getting a call from the hospital.""Bring Vincent here," Adrian replied. "Yes, sir.” The staff walked out of the room, finding Vincent sitting in the hallway with his head lowered. "Vincent, come in please." He rushed to his feet and entered the room, where the video feed was being projected onto a screen. Mara looked weak and exhausted."Grandmother!" Vincent cried the moment he saw her. "Are…Are you trying to give me a heart attack, Vincent? I heard from Joy that you aren’t focusing on your exams. What are you doing, boy? Don't you remember what you said to me before you left?"Vincent wiped his tears. "I’m just so worried about you, Grandmother. How are you feeling? I'm sorry I can’t go home to take care of you.""Have you forgotten what you said, Vincent? You said you want to become a hero who protects hi

"Hey girls!" Sage walked over and greeted Juno, Elize, and the others. Juno waved back and smiled. "How did you do in your exams, Sage?"Sage smiled. "I think I did well, but I'm not sure what my results will be like. What about you?"Juno nodded. "The same as you. We'll find out the results tomorrow. Still, I can't shake the feeling that this year's selection is really different. There are so many strong candidates in the running.""What do you mean?" Sage seemed curious. "Do you see that handsome guy over there? That's Jerome Yahn. Many people have been talking about how capable he is. I even heard that he's the reincarnation of five war legates or something like that. Did you hear anything about that?”Jerome was standing on the far end of the lake away from them. When Sage looked in his direction, she said, "You're right. He does give off a very different vibe. I also heard from Uncle Garret that he's someone War Legate Draco handpicked. I'm sure he's a formidable opponent.

Kieran seemed to be in a maddened frenzy.Victor snorted. "You f*cking piece of sh*t. How dare you hit me.""I'm going to kill you, you b*stard!" Blinded by rage, Kieran pushed the two men trying to hold him back before charging at Victor once more. His fist went for Victor's head, but Adrian managed to catch it before the blow connected.Adrian lifted Kieran off the ground and asked, "Do you have any idea what you're doing right now?"Kieran looked at him and cried, "Please let me do it, sir. I'm going to fight him to the death. That b*stard's a tumor that should be eradicated from this world. It'd be an insult to Novemton and the world if someone like him gets chosen to join Wyvern Peak!" Judging by Kieran’s outburst, the two seemed to have a deep grudge.Adrian released him and said, "Mya, take them to headquarters. I'll talk to them individually."He then left while Mya frowned and said, "Well done, you two. You're probably going to get disqualified after putting up such

It was common for couples to not work out due to objections from their families. However, Victor’s family had definitely gone overboard if this all proved to be true. If his parents were indeed such people, Wyvern Peak would definitely need to reconsider whether Victor was worthy of joining them."You swear that everything you've told me is nothing but the truth?" Adrian asked. "I swear, sir. My brother will never be able to use his leg again. He can't even find a wife because of his handicap. Victor and his family are at fault that my brother has to live like this. I wouldn’t have taken offense if they had just forced him into leaving Anna, but they broke his leg!""Did you take them to court?" Adrian asked. Kieran took a deep breath. "Yes, we did. But our local authorities couldn’t handle the case, so it was directed to Southrive's Internal Affairs. Victor's family was in cahoots with Internal Affairs at the time, and my parents lost hope of winning. To make matters worse, Vict

Still yelling at the top of her lungs, Reena continued, "We'll sue War Legate Draco in the courts of Novemton if he doesn't give us an explanation this instant! We've got all the money to hire the best lawyers! I'll pay whatever amount necessary!" To Reena, everything could be solved with money. They managed to get people to break Connie's leg without having to get personally involved by lining the appropriate pockets. And through using money, they also managed to sure Connie's parents for seventy thousand dollars.Neither Reena nor Wesley seemed to care about War Legate Draco's authority. They thought they would be able to force him to step down from his position if they paid off the media and started rumors on the Internet. At that moment, Mya walked out and said, "War Legate Draco has summoned all of you. Follow me." Reena and Wesley hastily followed Mya inside, while Anna helplessly trailed after them.***Adrian, sitting in his office, suddenly heard someone yelling, "War
