The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 238

One anm?

Everyone was stupefied.

Hydra inhaled sharply and said as he stared at Adrian, “You’re quite the talker, Draco. I’d like to see how you’re going to fight me, a war legate, with just one amm.

Adrian smiled.

“Step back, Riley,” he said.

Riley acknowledged with an “ah” and quickly went to stand behind him.

At this very moment, Adrian started exuding an overbearingness that made any ordinary person fear him.

The fight was about to break out in the boardroom at any moment.

Hydra let out an angry grunt before he threw a punch at Adrian as if he could not bear to be insulted. His fist was known for breaking boulders in Luposia and his moniker of Hydra was well–known across the country. In fact, he was Luposia’s pride and glory.

The pride of Luposia, War Legate Hydra, launched a ferocious attack at Navia’s War Legate Draco.

However, a thud followed by a muffled groan was heard before everyone could ascertain what had happened. Then, Hydra, who was charging toward Adrian earlier, halted to a stop and his hand was still holding a fisted position that was aimed at Adrian.

However, Hydra stopped before his fist landed on Adrian’s body.

It was because Adrian’s arm had already punched a hole through his abdomen.

The boardroom was silent.

Hydra dropped to his knees with fresh blood streaming out of his abdomen onto the floor. He lowered his head to look at Adrian’s arm which had penetrated his body before he even noticed and was so stunned that he could not speak.

Hydra raised his head to look at Adrian and said, “You… You…”

Adrian smiled. “I told you that Luposia’s war legates are only on par with Navia’s soldiers.”

As he spoke, he propped his left arm on Hydra’s forehead to pull out his right arm.

Hydra twitched for a moment before he collapsed to the ground and stopped moving completely.

He was dead.

Adrian had easily killed the dignified war legate of Luposia, and he died in such a pitiful manner.

Everyone was stunned, including Leonard and Wilfred.

Riley covered her mouth with her hands and did not have the courage to watch the scene. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

On the other hand, Jaden, who was on his loves, lost all hope the instant Hydra was killed. His pants were thoroughly drenched and emitted a foul stench.

“Legate Draco. I’m sorry, I… I was wrong… I won’t ever do it again. I’m a Navian. Please spare me!” Jaden bowed profusely and begged Adrian for mercy as he cried.

Adrian simply ignored him. He turned around and looked toward his uncle. “Leonard, tell me. Did you trick Sam into going to the hotel? Tell me the truth”

Leonard was shaking. He broke down crying as he admitted, “I’m sorry, Adrian. My judgment was clouded. Please forgive me. I didn’t know you were War Legate Draco. I wouldn’t have had the courage to do so if I had known!”

“So you’re saying that you would do it anyway if I wasn’t?” Adrian questioned.

“LL…” Leonard was rendered speechless.

“Just answer me. Did you trick Sam into going to the hotel?” Adrian interrupted Leonard.

Leonard wiped his tears and was already completely shattered inside. He was overwhelmed with a myriad of emotions including agony, despair, and fear.

He cried and said, “Yes I did it. I’m really sorry, Adrian. Please forgive me…
