The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 220

After giving his orders, Adrian clasped Samantha’s hand, and together with Ruse, they left Dream City.

Behind him, Richie’s howls rang out but Adrian ignored him.

Daniel executed Richie as the Battle Warrior Department dismissed the crowd after cleaning up the scene

The trio quickly drove back to the house. Adrian drove as Samantha and Roe sat quietly in the car.

Rute was fine, but Samantha was feeling a rollercoaster of emotions. She felt haunted by the event that she had witnessed that night

She never imagined that her husband would possess such shocking abilities.

“Adrian, tell me the truth about yourself. I saw how obedient Daniel was to you earlier. Who are you that you can order him around?” Samantha asked.

She could not hold back her curiosity anymore.

Rue looked toward her son as well. She was under the assumption that Adrian was just an ordinary person. He had not expected him capable of giving orders to the Battle Warrior Department.

“Are you going to continue lying to me?” Samantha asked when Adrian did not respond.

Meanwhile, Adrian realized that he could not hide everything from them. He turned around and said to Samantha, “Daniel and 1 were comrades in the army so we’re close”

Samantha was astonished upon hearing this

She knew about Adrian’s time in the army but she had not expected Adrian and Daniel to be so close.

She asked in astonishment, “Daniel and you are comrades–in–arms? You were acquainted with each other from a long time ago?

“That’s right,” Adrian said smilingly, “We trained and served in the army together. Afterward, he was transferred to Lucas troop. I was supposed to be transferred too but I chose to resign and came back.”

“Where were you supposed to transfer to?” Samantha asked out of curiosity.

“To a troop stationed in another country. I didn’t go because I couldn’t abandon my family. Thus, I retired from the army and came home,” Adrian explained.

Samantha inhaled a deep breath. This implied that Adrian had given up on his bright prospect to come home.

She was touched for some reason. She looked at Adrian and said, “Adrian, you served for seven years waiting to be promoted, yet you gave up the rare opportunity. Do you regret it?

Adrian shook his head. “What’s there to regret about giving this up for my family? My family is real while everything else is

not.‘

Samantha lowered her head upon hearing that. She had not expected Adrian would have a story like this. She was under the assumption that he was a loser when he first came back. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Yet, in reality, he had given up his chance to achieve glory.

Samantha said, “So, Swallowston’s Investment conference, the department’s involvement on multiple occasions, and Daniel standing up for me. Those were all arranged by you in secret, right?”

“Lucas and I can be considered acquaintances while Daniel is an old friend. They’re willing to take care of me in Southrive to a certain extent,” Adrian said smilingly

“So, the department’s willingness to be present during New Paraiso’s opening ceremony is out of respect for you?” asked

Samantha

Adrian nodded.

He did not deny it. He decided that he would acclimate Samantha to his new entity by taking things slow.

Adrian concluded, “That’s basically how it is, I’ve been keeping in touch with Daniel all this time.”

Samantha scratched her head upon hearing Adrian’s remark

In truth, she should have realized this sooner. She should have realized that since the Swallow Central incident until Dandel extended an invitation to the Cowells, it had all been Adrian’s doing.

It was Adrian who sought Daniel’s help when Adaline got into trouble with the Laymans at the university.
