Chapter 400


    The Sonmbayan soldiers threw Wace and Cormac into the back of a vehicle.


    Immediately after that, they were sent back to the airport and flown to Southrive’s Swallowston, along


    with a few soldiers as


    escorts.

    That afternoon, Adrian was at the Battle Warrior Department when he received word from Sombay that


    Wace and Commac had been delivered


    Adrian arranged for them to be sent to the hospital as he got up and rushed over there himself.


    However, before he did this,


    he sent Reiss a text.


    “Chubbs has woken up. Come to the hospital if you’re still in Swallowston.”


    Meanwhile, Reiss was sitting on a long bench in a certain garden in Swallowston. She had no idea


    where to go since she was now homeless. At the same time, she did not wish to return to Northrive


    since that ce was no different than a graveyard to


    her.


    When she read Adrian’s text, she remained silent for a while before she got up and hailed a cab to the


    hospital. Coincidentally, she ran into him when she arrived at the hospital’s entrance.


    Upon exchanging nces, Reiss quickly averted her gaze. She did not wish to pay the man any


    attention, not until she was dead.


    However, when she realized that she had not paid for her taxi, she reached out her hand and said, “I’d


    like to borrow three dors for my taxi fee.”


    Adrian took out three dors and handed the money to her. “Do you not have money?”


    “My father froze my bank ountsst night,” Reiss replied, walking into the hospital right after paying


    the fee.


    Adrian shook his head in helplessness and followed behind her.


    The two of them soon arrived at the ward, where Chuck was already awake. When he saw Reiss


    walking in, he was taken by surprise and asked, “Reiss? What are you doing here?”


    Reiss shot him a smile. She sat by his bedside and stroked his hair as she asked, “What’s the matter?


    Am I not wee here?”


    “No, of course not. I’m just curious. Aren’t you supposed to be in Northrive?” Chuck asked.


    He then noticed Adrian walking in behind her.


    Once more, Chuck sounded surprised as he asked, “Reiss… You’re not in a rtionship with Adrian,


    are you? By the way, Adrian. Where’s your wife?”


    Chuck knew that Samantha was Adrian’s wife but thought that something may have happened over the


    past two years.


    Reiss quickly said, “Stop imagining such nonsense. There’s nothing going on between us, and his


    wife’s at home. I’m here in Swallowston on business and just happened to run into him.”


    Chuck let off an “Oh” and smiled. “You’re even more beautiful than when we were younger, Reiss.


    What brings you to Swallowston?”


    “My little brother is dead so I’m here to collect his ashes.”


    “Your little brother? Seth?”


    “Yes.” Reiss nodded.


    “What happened? How did he die?”


    “He was executed by a certain someone,” Reiss said as she gritted her teeth.


    Meanwhile, Adrian silently stood by the side.


    Chuck looked at Reiss before turning to look at Adrian. He was now even more curious about what was


    happening. However, he did not let his curiosity get the better of him.


    “You’lle to learn how to let go when you’ve experienced enough deaths. I was really sad when my


    mother passed away but I’vee to realize that all humans have their own expiration date. It’s only a


    matter of time until ites.”


    Reiss grinned. “You’re really good at consoling people.”


    Chuckughed. “It’s really good to see you two again. You probably don’t know this, but Adrian’s now


    the great War Legate


    Draco.


    “Do you know what this means? He’s now reporting to only one person while everyone else is beneath


    him. Think about how glorious it is for us to be his friends!”
