The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 565

Chapter 565

After Adrian got out of the car, he asked, “How have you been? Well, I hope.”

Mya nodded in acknowledgment before they walked into the university together.

“Southeast University is affiliated with Internal Affairs and Bowen Mercer’s the principal here. I’ve already contacted him beforehand, so we can head straight to his office.”

“All right,” Adrian sald with a nod

As they strode past the campus field, they came across all manner of students. This showed just how popular the university was with its fifty years of history. The university had undergone renovation work around five times, both major and minor.

Adrian and Mya soon arrived at Bowen’s office. Due to the bad blood between Wyvern Peak and Internal Affairs, Mya had set up the meeting with Bowen using her family name instead. Hence, Adrian’s identity as the legate remained a secret.

When Mya knocked on the office door, a man who looked to be more than fifty years old opened it. This man was Bowen Mercer, Southeast University’s principal.

“Miss Mya!”

Bowen quickly greeted Mya when he saw her. No matter how much he disliked entertaining others, he had no intentions of disrespecting someone from the Dean family.

“Mr. Bowen, allow me to introduce you to Adrian Xander. He’s here today because he’d like to ask you a few questions”

Bowen stretched out his hand toward Adrian and said, “Any friend of Miss Mya’s a friend of mine. How do you do, Mr.

Adrian?”

Adrian shook hands with Bowen before the latter invited them into the office for a cup of tea. After taking their seats, Bowen said, “May I know why you two are here to see me today? I’ll be more than happy to help if you have a relative who’d like to enter our university.”

Bowen was rather direct with his approach.

However, Adrian asked, “Are you familiar with the name “Kayn Cross,‘ Mr. Bowen?”

“Kayn Cross?” Bowen seemed slightly startled, which quickly turned into a smile as he said truthfully, “Why would you ask about him all of a sudden, Mr. Adrian? Kayn was indeed a lecturer at this university, but he left a very, very long time ago.

“Did he have both his legs before he left?” Adrian inquired.

“What? Did he get into an accident?! He was a perfectly healthy man as far as I could remember!”

Adrian exchanged looks with Mya, the latter of whom then said, “So according to what you’re saying, Kayn lost his legs after he left the university. Do you know what he’s been up to since he left? We haven’t been able to find out more about this.”

Adrian added, “Does he have any family, Mr. Bowen? Children, for example.”

Bowen pondered for a moment before saying, “Honestly, I only joined the university after he left so I’m not that familiar with what kind of life he led. However, what I do know is he used to be married but then had a divorce. I don’t remember him having any other family.

“Did something happen to him?” Bowen asked once inore.

Adrian shook his head. “He’s fine, but his identity is a mystery. He appeared in Swallowston yesterday, but has gone missing

ever since.”

Bowen continued to ask, “May I ask why you’re investigating lilim?”

Adrian answered honestly, “Do you know what kind of books he was reading during his time here, Mr. Bowen? What kind of activities does he get involved with usually?”

Adrian’s question caused Bowen to fall into deep thought for a while.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
