Chapter 396


    It was quiteughable to see the governor of Swallowston fall from grace.


    After seeing how Chuck was treated, Samantha felt just how unfair the world was.


    She said nothing more about the matter and continued toy in Adrian’s arms, quickly falling asleep


    again because of how tired she was.


    The next morning, Samantha headed off to the office with Joanna


    Adrian also left home and called someone on the phone as he drove.


    It was a call to the king of Sombay.


    A few years ago, Adrian got acquainted with the king, whose country was in chaos at the time. He had


    led his soldiers from Wyvern Peak to help resolve the matter. Because of this, the king was very much


    in Adrian’s debt and he very quickly answered the call.

    The king’s name was Shavit the 48th.


    When the call connected, Shavit said, “How can I help you, War Legate Draco?”


    Speaking fluently in Sarmbay’s nativenguage, Adrian said, “I need your help with something, Your


    Majesty.”


    “What is it?” Shavit asked


    “In about two hours, two men by the name of Cormac Cook and Wace Cook will arrive at your city’s


    airport. They’re fugitives so I hope you will be willing to send out your men to arrest them upon arrival


    and wait for my men to get there,” Adrian said.


    “Sure thing. I’ll have my soldiers deliver them to you once I’ve arrested them,” Shavit dly agreed.


    Adrian hung up the phone after having a short chat with Shavit, thuspleting the arrangements


    necessary.


    At that moment, Rue sent him a text that Chuck had woken up, causing Adrian to step on the gas and


    rush to the hospital. When he arrived, he saw Rue feeding Chuck some food.


    Chuck was in much better condition than yesterday but was limited to eating soft food due to his


    injuries. When he saw Adrian walking in, his silent gaze fell on thetter, who walked over to his


    bedside and lowered his head.


    The two of them looked at each other for quite some time before Chuck gave in to his emotions. He


    could not believe he was looking at a farmiliar face belonging to a friend. Adrian was different from how


    he used to be seven years ago, but Chuck was still able to recognize him. At the very least, Adrian’s


    face had not changed much.


    Seven years ago, they were both under eighteen years old.


    Seven yearster, both men have finally been reunited despite the circumstances.


    Chuck looked at Adrian and recalled the time when they would both poke at ho’s nests together.


    The world was filled with many things that caused adults pain


    “Y–You’re back”


    Chuck opened his mouth, his voice hoarse as he spoke.


    Adrian nodded and replied, “Yeah.”


    Chuck cried, tears rolling down his cheeks. The gruel he was eating had lost all its taste.


    ‘He has changed so much after seven years…”
