The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 442

Dale trembled in fear after realizing that he had offended the legate

“What the…”

Both men were overcome by fear as they knelt. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Looking at Rupert, Adrian looked at a guy next to the former and said, “Hand me your rod.”

The i guy dared not disobey the legate’s command and handed over his weapon. Grabbing it tight, Adrian threw a huge swing at Rupert’s face

“Argh!” Rupert sprawled onto the floor, teeth and blood flying out of his mouth.

“Please forgive me, sir! I was just doing as I was told!” he screamed as he trembled.

“You were just doing as you were told, eh?” Adrian snickered and continued, “I think you’re just taking advantage of your status to flex your authority though.”

Adrian swing the rod once more after saying this, causing Rupert’s face to become very badly bruised.

Dale did not dare utter a single word despite how badly Rupert was crying out. In this way, he thought he would be able to escape being punished, but Adrian suddenly swung the stick at his face as well

Both men cried out in pain. Rupert then screamed, “Please, sir! No more. No more! Mr. Byron was the one who asked me to come here. I don’t dare disobey his orders. Not when I’m his subordinate!”

Adrian looked toward Rupert whose face was covered in blood. “One should always know how to distinguish between right and wrong. What good would you be if you’re just a mindless puppet who does everything as he’s told?”

“I’m sorry, sir.. I really am!” Rupert cried.

“Where’s Byron now?”

“He’s at his luxury private residence. He’s messing around with his new mistress right now.”

“A luxury private residence, you say?”

“Yes, that’s right. It’s a villa at Windy Bay that’s worth more than four million and five hundred thousand dollars,” Rupert said. He did not hesitate to betray Byron.

‘Byron’s the deputy chief secretary of Internal Affairs, which means he’s being paid less than three thousand dollars per month. How can he fork out that much money to buy a villa at Windy Bay then?’

Adrian gestured toward Rupert and asked, “What else do you know?”

Rupert got back on his knees and looked up with his tear-filled face. “Please spare my life, sir. I haven’t done anything other than follow orders. I may have accepted a few thousand dollars from Mr. Byron as a reward, but that’s all there is to it!”

Adrian hoisted Rupert off the floor and said, “Why are you confessing when I didn’t ask you anything about that? As a member of law enforcement, you’re blabbering a load of nonsense that may not even be true. Is this what you mean by doing as you’re told?

“If someone like you ever showed up at Wyvern Peak, I’d cut them down to pieces,” Adrian calmly said, causing Rupert to be so scared he wet his pants.

Panicking, he said, “I’m sorry, sir! Please give me another chance!”

Adrian released Rupert and said, “Fine, I’ll give you one more chance for a do-over, Gather your men and have them surround Byron’s residence immediately. We’re going to arrest him.”

Surprised, Rupert stuttered and asked, “Wh-Why are you arresting him, sir?”

“I suspect he’s in cahoots with the Lupasians by providing them with support using his status. Now, I want you to mobilize your whole team and arrest him with me?

“1-1’ll need Mr. Byron’s permission before I’m able to mobilize anyone,” Rupert said.

“Would you like my department to come and replace you? You’d be useless to me if I did though. “You have three seconds to decide before I do away with you.”
