Chapter 220


    After giving his orders, Adrian sped 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 wererades 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 arerades–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 exined.


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


    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.


    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


    asions, 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 limate 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.
