Samantha shook her head.“He told me he’s got a few army buddies coming to Swallowston and would be out for gatherings, so I haven’t paid it much attention.”Samantha’s expectations of Adrian had dropped significantly as of later. When he first returned, she had been so strict with him that she controlled his every move, but after being together for such a long time, the couple had slowly grown a lot closer.Rue acknowledged this and said, “Let’s not wait for him if that’s the case. Hurry up and come eat your food, Juno. Have you finished your homework?”“Yes, I’ve finished them all.”“Good. You’ll be sitting for your university entrance exams soon, so you must focus on your studies. When you get into a good university, you’ll be able to become as capable as Sam.”Rue was very fond of Samantha. Not only was Samantha beautiful, but she was also righteous, kind, and strong enough to lead an entire company.Juno nodded, while Samantha brought out an exquisite-looking package and sa

She turned around and looked at Adrian before asking, “Are you asleep?”Adrian too turned around and replied, “No, I’m not. What’s the matter?”“I can’t sleep. What are you thinking about though?” Samantha asked.In truth, Adrian was not thinking about anything. However, he was obligated to answer her question, or a sensitive woman like herself would surely think that he had something to hide.Hence, he replied, “I was thinking about whether it’s time for us to buy a new house. This one’s pretty small so it’s really inconvenient.”“You and your dirty thoughts!” Samantha’s face glowed red as she shot him a glare.“How is that in any way dirty?” Adrian asked in surprise.“What do you think? That sounded so dirty and nasty!” Adrian shot her a smile, whose face had turned red once again. Although she claimed it to be dirty, she knew that their conversation was the start of a beautiful married life.Thus, she had no idea what she could say at that moment. She was out of topics to

Adrian started to drive off, but Barry suddenly shouted, “My mother’s going to die soon! She’s suffering from severe psychotic breaks. Sometimes she’s lucid, but other times, she behaves like a lunatic. The doctor says she only has three years to live at most if this keeps up.“Her greatest wish is for me to don a military uniform and return home a glorious man to make her proud! I want to become a soldier while she’s still alive, but I come from an underprivileged family, so I’m ineligible to enter the recruitment process.“Please!” Barry shouted.At that moment, the car let off a screech as it came to a halt. Barry’s speech had struck a chord in the deepest parts of Adrian’s heart.‘I suppose that’s the only thing he can do for his mother at this point. Perhaps I should give him a chance.’“You have three seconds to get in,” Adrian said.Barry fiercely ran toward the car when he heard this and dove back in.“Does this mean you’re accepting me, Master?” Barry asked excitedly.

Barry nodded. “Yes, that was my father.”Adrian said, “Now that you’ve tooted your horn, don’t disappoint him. I have a task for you. Get ready and meet me outside.”“Yes, sir!” Barry answered hastily.Adrian then turned around and walked away. However, he suddenly stopped and said, “It would be best for you not to disappoint me as well.”Upon saying that, Adrian left.Barry inhaled a deep breath upon hearing Adrian’s remark. “Don’t worry, sir. I won’t disappoint you.”***Three minutes later, Barry was done preparing and arrived at the lobby of the Battle Warrior Tower. Adrian was sitting there and chatting with a beauty trained in the department.Her name was Shay Joy and she was Lucas’ subordinate.Shay was talented in devising strategies, usually staying behind in the command tent. She was not skilled in battle but was exceptional in coming up with victorious strategies. She had led the Bloody Tiger Squad that took out twenty thousand soldiers from the enemy country at its

“Will you die if you don’t brag?” Samantha said.“I’m telling the truth, Mrs. Legate!” Barry replied.Adrian heaved a sigh. He hastily pulled out his phone and sent Daniel a text message to transfer the money out of the ATM card. Otherwise, he would be in deep trouble.Daniel quickly got someone to do it after receiving the message.Samantha grabbed her phone and dialed the bank’s phone number while she asked Adrian, “What’s your pin?”Adrian replied, “Your birthday.”Samantha keyed in the card number into her phone followed by the pin to check the account balance and it showed there was twenty-six thousand dollars.Adrian was relieved. On the other hand, Barry was utterly confused. He scratched his head and said, “That’s not right. There were a few billion dollars in the card earlier… Why is it just a few thousand dollars now…”“Will you die if you shut up?” Adrian glared at Barry.Barry was sensible enough to zip his lips.Samantha glared at Adrian furiously and said, “You
