The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 679

Adrian remained silent for a moment before he said, “These immortals that I speak of are capable of living past a thousand years old. Ten thousand, even. Since Hannibal’s a part of this, he must still be alive. We have to get to the bottom of this.”

Mya said, “If all of this is true, we could never go up against an immortal. After all, everyone at Wyvern Peak is nothing more than a character in his game.”

“I want you to keep this a secret from everyone else while I investigate. Also, make sure this piece of metal is stored safely. We mustn’t let anyone activate its powers, or the whole city might be destroyed.”

“Understood.” Mya nodded in acknowledgment.

At that moment, the landline rang. Mya reached out to grab the phone and said, “Yes? Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Madam, there’s trouble! Madam Legate has been kidnapped!” a voice said urgently from the other end of the line.

“What?!” Mya was instantly stunned.

Adrian, too, was shocked.

“A group of highly trained women charged into One Jewel Road and abducted the legate’s mother, his wife, and Ms. Joanna. We already have the place surrounded right now.”

“A group of highly trained women?”

“It’s Bloody Rose.” Adrian immediately stood up.

‘Bloody Rose?‘

“We’ll be right there!” Mya dashed out of the room after saying this, with Adrian leading the way.

The both of them left the department and rushed straight to One Jewel Road.

While driving, Mya asked, “Are you sure this is Bloody Rose’s doing, sir? They’ve been in the outlands this whole time. When did they even enter our territory?”

“The woman who appeared at the church two nights ago was Ivy Cox, an assassin from Bloody Rose. Looks like she’s determined to get that book.”

“D*mn b*stards! I’ll have someone pay a visit to the outlands and exterminate Bloody Rose!”

“They’re a huge organization under the outlands‘ protection, so you shouldn’t do anything to them for the time being. Their superiors are all Navians, who will be more beneficial to us alive than dead if we play our cards right,” Adrian saki.

“But these women seem fearless of death. It’s only a matter of time before they choose which side to take. You’re not planning on seducing them, are you? You’re not even handsome to start with.”

Mya tilted her head and looked at Adrian.

Adrian did not reply to her directly and urged, “Drive”

“okay!”

The car sped through the streets, and it was just past midnight.

Thousands of soldiers from Wyvern Peak had One Jewel Road surrounded, which brought about the attention of nearby residents. However, nobody dared to step out of their house to find out what was happening due to low late it was.

Under the lights at Adrian’s courtyard, more than twenty women in tight shorts were having a standoff against the soldiers, with Ivy leading the charge. They were all extremely gorgeous women with both exceptional looks and physique yet their eyes were filled with murderous intent.

At that moment, Ivy was holding Samantha, a dagger resting against the latter’s neck. She was holding Samantha hostage!
