The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 716

Upon hearing Eternity’s voice, Ivy warned Adrian, “Something’s off about her, Draco. There’s no way she’d show up here alone. I’m sure there are other people from Bloody Rose somewhere nearby.”

Adrian said nothing but stood before Eternity with his hands behind his back.

When Eternity laid her eyes on Ivy, she smiled and said, “Looks like Bloody Rose has been too kind to you all. I’m going to deal with all the Navian women when I get back.”

“You wouldn’t!” Ivy yelled.

Eternity merely smiled in return.

Eira gripped her dagger tightly as she said, “You killed our families and took everything from us. If you dare harm any of our sisters back there, we’ll come for you for vengeance. This I swear!”

“In that case, shall we see if you all are actually capable of doing so?”

After that, Eternity turned toward Adrian and continued, “I’ve heard so much about you, War Legate Draco. Looks like I really underestimated you. I didn’t think you’d be capable of forcing me to show myself.

“But unfortunately, I know everything about you, while you don’t know anything about me.”

Mya laughed out loud when she heard this and said, “You really think you’re oh–so powerful, don’t you? Who do you think the strongest person in the outlands is? Nobody would dare to claim they’re the best in the face of the legate, yet you, a little b *tch, dare to claim you know everything about War Legate Draco? Have you no shame?”

Eternity looked at Mya. “Mya Dean, I know you. I also know that you’re as defective as the rest of them are. Your greatest weakness is that you can’t leave Draco’s side, am I right?”

“What?!” Mya was dumbfounded when she heard this, while Ivy and the others looked at her.

With a smile, Eternity said, “I suppose you could say that while Draco is leading you, you can be considered a talented person. However, remove him from the equation and you’re nothing. Is there even a purpose for you being alive, hmm?”

Mya took a deep breath as a murderous intent enveloped her.

Eternity turned toward Adrian once more and said, “My time’s precious, Draco, so go ahead and tell me what it is you want from me. Surely you didn’t cause such a huge stir just to force me out here, did you?”

The women looked at Adrian. They were going up against Eternity, whom only Adrian was capable enough of facing no matter how they looked at it.

However, Adrian remained silent. After a moment, he let go of his hands and walked over to a boulder before sitting down.

Everyone, including Eternity, was confused by Adrian’s actions, who then looked up at Eternity with a smile on his face.

“Storm’s right, you know. There’s no need for you to think you’re the strongest person. At least not while I’m here.”

“I see that even the great Draco has learned how to make bold claims,” Eternity said with a smile.

“It’s not a bold claim. Killing you would be a piece of cake.”

Eternity frowned when she heard this, evident that she was unhappy with what she heard. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

However, Adrian was not planning on arguing about this any longer. Instead, he said, “I believe Bloody Rose has multiple countries within the outlands under its control. What I’m more curious about is who it is that gave you the courage to walk into our country?”

“Why would you think I need courage from others to come here?” Eternity asked in return.

“I’ve seen many people like you over the years I’ve been with Wyvern Peak. Some people think they were born to live extraordinary lives, and that they should make a name for themselves. However, most of the time, that’s not what happens to

them.

“How about this? I won’t cause you any more trouble if you tell me why you want the book. Or have you gotten in bed with the outlands?” Adrian asked.

Eternity raised an eyebrow. “You Navian men. You just love putting on airs. I’ve killed many men like you, so are you really going to tell me that you mobilized a hundred thousand men to force me out here just to ask me this?”
