Chapter 401


    Reiss chuckled “What does the legate have to do with you? Stop dreaming and focus on recovering.


    Do you know how terrified I was when I saw you at Prison 142”


    “You were there too?” Chuck asked.


    “I was, I was also the one who told Adrian that you had fallen out of touch two years ago. I doubt he’d


    remember you if I didn’t. After all, he’s such an important person so he probably forgot about us long


    ago,” Reiss said, her words seeming to Target Adrian


    Adrian remained silent


    Chucked smiled and said, “Don’t say that, Reiss. He’d never forget about us. He’s just been really busy


    recently. He came to help me, didn’t he? He’s always been very protective of his friends and that hasn’t


    changed.”


    “I see you’re well on his side, but I’m not as forgiving as you.”


    Chuck smiled at that remark, while someone walked into his ward at that moment. Mya, who was


    wearing an extremely short pair of pants, walked in and said, “Sir, the Cooks are here.”


    Anticipation overcame Chuck when he heard this. After all those years, he wanted to see what the two


    of them looked like.


    Adrian instructed, “Bring them in.”


    “Yes, sir.” With a wave from Mya, Wace and Cormac, who were in really bad shape, were brought


    into the ward.


    “On your knees!” a soldier shouted.


    The father and son instantly got on their knees, breaking out into cold sweat.


    Chuck took a deep breath when he saw them and said, “It’s them, Adrian. I’ll never forget their faces


    until the day I die. I’m one hundred percent positive it’s them.”


    “Y–You’ve got the wrong people… I don’t know who you are!” Cormac hurriedly shook his head,


    seeming terrified.


    “Legate, I am the governor of Swallowston. The way you’re treating me is an obvious challenge to


    Internal Affairs. Imperial Capital will never let you get away with this!” Wace yelled.


    Adrian merely smiled before grabbing the father and son, one in each hand, and pushing them against


    Chuck’s bed. “Chubbs, take a good look and tell me if you recognize them.”


    Wace yelled, “I’m not rted to this man in any way whatsoever! Let me go this instant, Draco! I’m


    going to report you to Imperial Capital!”


    Cormac shouted, “I don’t know hlen, I don’t know him!”


    Adrian despised wasting his breath so he released them and turned to Mya. “Pin them to that wall over


    there. Make them face Chuck.”


    Everyone in the room was dumbfounded when they heard this. Between Chuck, Reiss, and Rue, none


    of them thought that Adrian was capable of giving out such a brutal order.


    Cormac and Wace instantly started panicking, both their pants were drenched as they yelled in fear.

    “What are you doing? What are you doing?!”


    “Did you not hear what I said, Mya? Pin them to the wall!” Adrian yelled.


    “Yes, sir” Mya immediately answered alter gathering her thoughts.


    A few of her subordinates walked over and pulled out their daggers before stabbing Wace and


    Cormac’s arms and legs.


    “Arghhhh!”


    The entire ward was filled with screams of agony as though a butcher was ughtering livestock.


    Tears rolled down Wace’s and Commae’s faces from the excruciating pain.
