The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 233

Jaden sneered and continued, “If you ask me, I’m afraid I’ll end up killing your entire family if you fail to kill me. I’ve been hoping to get my hands on both your wife and your little sister for a really long time.”

Surprisingly, Adrian was not enraged when he heard this. Riley, on the other hand, was so infuriated that she desperately hoped to kill Jaden right where he was. Yet, Adrian stayed so calm that others seemed to have ignored his presence.

How could he be so calm after hearing all that? Riley wondered.

Riley chose not to say anything since Adrian did not seem the least bit angry. She wanted to see what Adrian was going to do next.

“Didn’t you say you were going to kill me, b*stard? What’s stopping you?” Jaden asked once more when he saw Adrian remain silent.

Once again, Adrian refused to answer his question. Instead, he turned to look at Riley. “What time is it?”

Riley took a look at her watch and replied, “It’s almost eleven.” Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Hearing this, Adrian went back to being silent and placed a document over his face, looking like he was about to take a nap.

Everyone became confused by his actions.

Leonard and Wilfred exchanged looks, not understanding what Adrian had planned in his head.

Jaden frowned as he was having a hard time getting a grasp on Adrian’s thought process. Unable to hold it in any longer, he yelled, “What the f*ck are you doing, b*stard? I haven’t got that much patience, so you’d better come out and say whatever it is you have to say!”

“I’m waiting for this top management person to come,” Adrian replied.

‘What? He’s been waiting for that guy this whole time?

“He’s mad, isn’t he?” Wilfred said to Leonard.

Leonard shook his head, unable to read the situation.

Jaden was extremely surprised. “You’re waiting for my family’s top management to get here? Don’t you understand by now! how badly you’ll be tortured by him before he kills you?”

Adrian remained silent and sat as he waited.

Enraged, Jaden said, “Fine! Go ahead and wait. I’m going to call him and find out when he’s getting here.”

With that, Jaden picked up his phone and dialed a number. “It’s Jaden. When will you be arriving?

“What? You’re already outside? Excellent, excellent! Please escort War Legate Hydra up here.”

After hanging up the phone, Jaden had a sinister look on his face as he said, “le’s here, h*stard. Let’s hope you don’t wet your pants when you see him.”

Adrian merely smiled and said nothing

At that moment, there were sounds of footsteps approaching, and the boardroom’s walkway was soon filled with them.

After a while, the boardroom’s doors were opened, and a massively masculine middle–aged man in black walked in with two of his subordinates. The bodyguards behind him entered and fanned out, taking their positions.

Everyone within the boardroom stood up when the man entered, while Leonard and Wilfred failed to recognize who he was.

On the other hand, Jaden was extremely excited. He hurried forward as he respectably said, “You’re here, sir.”

If Barry were there, he would surely be able to identify the middle–aged man to be Hydra, the war legate who was at the Luxury Hotel that night.

Most of them probably had no idea that Jaden, in targeting the Xanders, was trying to help Hydra. In fact, Paraiso was not going to be taken over by the Rivers, but by Hydra himself.
