The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 719

Eternity laid on the ground with her eyes closed, causing others to feel slightly heartbroken for her.

Ivy got down on one knee and looked at Eternity’s cold yet beautiful face and heaved a long sigh. “Who would’ve thought that the woman we were so afraid of actually looks like this… Looks like she feels fear too, after all.”

“You’re right, Ivy. In the past, I thought she was a fearless woman.” Eira smiled with her lips pursed.

“She’s an evil woman. There’s no need for us to feel any sympathy for her. Let’s just kill her and be over with this.” Jenine pursed her lips.

The women started discussing Eternity’s looks. However, right at that moment, Adrian got down on one knee and touched

her abdomen.

When Eira saw this, she quickly looked at Adrian and asked, “What are you doing? Surely you’re not going to sexually harass her while she’s unconscious, are you? I know she’s not a pretty woman, but-”

Adrian said nothing and proceeded to unzip Eternity’s clothes to reveal her abdomen, revealing a scar the size of a little finger.

“What the…” Ivy and the others were instantly shocked to see this.

“She has the same scar too?”

After saying this, a few of them stood up and revealed their own abdomens, which had the exact same scar Eternity had. This was caused by a surgery that would make them infertile permanently,

something Bloody Rose would do before making them

killers.

Ivy and the others were even more confused at that moment.

‘Eternity went through the same surgery as us? Even though she runs Bloody Rose?”

It was then Adrian said, “She’s not Eternity.”

The women were startled when they heard this and looked at each other.

Ivy said, “That’s impossible, Adrian. I’ve seen her before, and she matches Eternity’s description, both physically and temperamentally. How could she not be her?”

Adrian stood up and looked at Ivy with his head slanted. “Is there any difference in a woman’s physique if you don’t see her

face?”

“Surely you can’t mimic one’s temperament. Besides, how can you be so sure she’s not Eternity?”

“She’s right. What’s your reasoning?” the others asked.

Adrian replied, “Eternity’s supposed to be the woman pulling strings from behind the scenes and in command of millions of killers and assassins, so I’m sure she’s gone through all kinds of experiences. How would it make sense for her to faint from

shock?”

“Umm…”

The women were unable to refute, so Adrian clapped his hands and said, “All right, let’s take her back with us to Southrive for the time being. Mya, send her to the hospital and have a few people stand watch at all times.”

Mya nodded in acknowledgment.

Adrian continued, “All right, let’s go.”

After that, Adrian left with the women. On the way back to Swallowston, Ivy purposefully got into the same car as him. She had a lot of questions she wanted to ask. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“What happened tonight, Adrian? How did you know Eternity was going to be there or even show up?”

Adrian pointed to his head and replied, “The mind is a powerful tool, but it all depends on how you choose to use it.”

“Fine, I’ll admit that I’m stupid, so could you please just tell me already?” Ivy said anxiously.

“Bloody Rose is adamant about obtaining the book, which means it holds great importance to them. I’m sure they’d do anything to try and get their hands on it.”

“So?” Ivy pursued urgently.

“So, I deliberately asked for the book to be delivered to me from Azure Creek as a trap to lure them out.”

“But why did you ask a hundred thousand soldiers to be there?” Ivy seemed confused as she continued, “They did close to nothing and then left, so don’t you think that’s a little…”

Adrian looked at her and replied, “They didn’t do nothing. The reason I had them there was so that our enemies would understand that it’s impossible for them to obtain the book.”
