The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 685

Eira, and the other women of Bloody Rose were taken away.

Adrian ordered Blade to imprison them at Battle Warrior Tower temporarily.

Following the departure of the women, Wyvern Peak’s soldiers retired and One Jewel Road was quiet once again.

Mya walked over and said to Adrian, “Sir, based on what we’ve learned from these women, Blondy Rose is not as simple as we imagined. Looks like there’s a leader at the top of the organization who’s doing something that we don’t know about.”

She was right. Ivy and the others were clearly expendable.

“Make some preparations for me to head to Yelloton tomorrow,” said Adrian.

Mya nodded. Soon after, she left in a car. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

After Mya left, Adrian made his way to Samantha and cupped her face with his hands. He asked concerningly, “Are you all right, Sam?”

Samantha cracked a sincere smile and nodded.

“Your Sam is fine, but I’m not. My neck was cut,” Joanna said grievously.

Adrian looked toward Joanna. There was a cut on the skin of her neck and it was bleeding, most probably caused by a dagger during the scuffle. But it was only a superficial cut that did not endanger her life.

Rue grabbed Joanna’s hand and said, “Let’s go inside, Jojo. I’ll clean your wound.”

The few of them returned to the living room and sat on the sofa. Rue cleaned Joanna’s wound with antiseptic liquid and then placed a band–aid on it. Adrian leaned against the sofa and shut his eyes.

Samantha asked concerningly, “Dear, what sort of organization is Bloody Rose? Why did they suddenly come to our house?”

Adrian opened his eyes. He told Samantha all about the story of how he found Kayn up until Bloody Rose tried to seize the book

Upon hearing the story, Samantha asked, “According to what you just told me, there’s a new enemy lurking in the dark? Why is Bloody Rose trying to get the book? Are they targeting Wyvern Peak too?”

“Adrian, is Bloody Rose working with Chase?” Joanna asked.

Adrian looked at Joanna. “I’ll have to think about that, but the probability is low. If Bloody Rose was working with Chase, there’d be no reason for them to look for the book. Even if they are looking for it, I’ll stop them from getting to it. Judging by the situation, it seems that they have other motives.”

Joanna tutted. “This is really strange. How are organizations from the outlands entering Navia? What is Internal Affairs doing while guarding the frontier? Wouldn’t it be a mess if this were to continue?”

Samantha heaved a sigh and said, “There’s no telling what Bloody Rose is trying to do. Things are already troublesome enough with Internal Affairs‘ Chase, and now there’s Bloody Rose. If there really is a fight, it’s the common folk who will

suffer in the end.”

Joanna said, “Didn’t Adrian just mention the real issue here? It’s possible that all this is just a trap. Maybe the boss isn’t Chase or Bloody Rose, but an even more powerful monster.

“He said that someone named Hannibal is possibly still alive. That’s who wrote Heroes of Wyvern Peak.

“If he’s still alive, he’s a three–hundred–year–old monster!”

Joanna chattered on endlessly. Adrian smiled upon hearing her words but did not reply.

Samantha moved next to Adrian, held his hand, and sled, “So dear, what do you plan on doing next?”

Adrian nodded. “I’ll head to Yelloton tomorrow to find Eira’s family. If I can find them, I should be able to learn about Bloody Rose to a certain extent. If everything goes as planned, I’ll be talding Chase out within a year and turning the monarch into a

temporary figurehead.”

“Turn the monarch into a temporary figurehead?”
