Kendall’s class became a stage for Adrian, while all the students listened intently to the story of a wheelchair-bound girl’s father who fought in the war.Cold Steel was a soldier from Wyvern Peak who may not have had a very high rank, but he was indeed a soldier who sacrificed himself in the battle against Luposia. Hence, his story was still fresh in Adrian’s mind.During that class, Adrian told everyone the story of how a soldier from Wyvern Peak fought passionately to resist the invasion of Luposia, and everyone listened intently.Juno was in tears. She never knew that her father was such a heroic, courageous, and fearless man.***At the end of the story, Adrian said, “During the final push to drive the enemy away, Cold Steel received an order to provide support to the fourth squad at Northdesert—an assault squad, so to speak.“But when he and his squad entered the desert area, the Luposians ambushed them. Cold Steel led his squad to slay three hundred men and they fought va

The underground research facility had just been built recently, courtesy of Samantha, Danton, and a few pharmaceutical groups.Samantha had the biggest investment in this organization and so was their leader.Since the research facility was beneath New Paraiso, it was tightly sealed. This was a safety feature that prevented any gasses within the facility from leaking out should an accident occur.At that moment, the new research team had already been formed, each one of them going through the documents retrieved from the abandoned nursing home.***Samantha, Danton, and the directors from a few pharmaceutical companies, wearing protective gear, were huddled together in the facility. The other members of the team were pouring through the documents Henry had left behind.In fact, they had already created a preliminary vaccine based on the recipe he left behind.At that moment, Samantha and the others were conducting an experiment on a lab rat. They injected the vaccine into the ra

Samantha quickly tidied up her hair to conceal her embarrassment.She turned around and looked at Adrian. “All right, it’s getting late. Let’s go home.”Adrian stood up. “I’ll send you home, but I myself will be home a little late tonight. I have some matters to attend to.”Samantha felt disappointed. She felt that their relationship had been growing closer. She was already prepared to offer herself to Adrian tonight and consummate their marriage if he were to take some initiative or behave more dominantly.Yet, Adrian was telling her that he would be home late?‘I’ve already come around but…’“Where are you going?” Samantha was rather agitated.“I have a comrade whose daughter is living in Swallowston. I found out that she’s having some financial trouble and I can’t ignore it,” Adrian answered truthfully.“If his daughter is having financial trouble, what is he doing to address that? I believe that he still gets paid by the military no matter how badly he performs, right?”“H

Isla stopped Adrian at the door right away.As a mother, she would instinctively protect her child and Adrian could understand why.Juno came out of the kitchen and pulled Isla to the side.“Mother, this is War Legate Draco. Don’t be rude to him.”“Please come in,” Juno said as she pulled Adrian into the house.“Juno…” Isla wanted to say something but stopped herself. She could not bring herself to stop her daughter upon seeing how happy she was.It had been a long time since Juno looked this happy.Adrian entered the house. Juno’s house was shabby but it was clean and tidy. The sofa was so old that it was tattered in various places but it could still be sat on.Juno showed Adrian to a sear and said to him smilingly, “Please sit here. I’ll go get you a coffee!”Adrian stood up. “It’s inconvenient for you to move around so you don’t have to get me anything. I won’t be here long.”“I’ll go get it then.” Isla headed to the kitchen to grab the pot of coffee.Juno was delighted b

Isla was startled by the commotion and Juno hastily came out of the kitchen.Adrian turned around and sized up the people who had entered the house.***“Ah? You have a visitor today, Isla? Is he your boy toy?“There’s a saying that widows are always up to no good. Are you playing with your boy toy and cheating on my eldest brother?”The burly man with a full beard was thirty-six years old, but he looked older than he was—like a man over forty.As soon as he entered the house, Isla quickly let go of Adrian’s hand, got to her feet, and said, “What are you doing here, Joshua? You’re not welcome here. Please leave.”The burly man’s name was Joshua Byrd and he was Juno’s second uncle. The woman next to him was Juno’s second aunt and her name was Heather Duran.Isla loathed them. She had received close to a million dollars in death gratuity from Wyvern Peak as compensation. Joshua and Heather had their eyes on the money so they worked with a swindler to cheat her of the money saying
