Chapter 402
Their screams of agony erhord throughout the hospital.
Their blood and tears mixed together, dripping onto the floor as despair and helplessness filled their
minds, Neither of the Cooks ever expected to end up in such a state, especially after how invincible
they thought they were over the years.
Reiss and Rue were too scared to even watch, while something seemed to have triggered within
Chuck’s heart. He recalled how the father and son had treated him worse than an animal. They beat
him up whenever they wanted, constantly threatened to end his life, and even pulled strings from
behind the scenes to get him thrown into Prison 14
He never thought he would live to see the day Wace and Cormac would face even greater despair
than he did.
“Sir, please… Please spare me! I’m sorry, sir. I was wrong… I’m a member of Internal Affairs. You can’t
do this to me!” Wace yelled as fresh wounds continued to be inflicted on him. He was in such
immense pain that he had broken down
entirely.
In truth, Wace was a huge coward and was thinking only of his survival at that moment.
Meanwhile, Cormac was in much greater pain as he watched his blood drip onto the floor. Even the
urine that soaked his pants was dripping, mixing together with the blood.
But despite their cries of agony, Adrian remainedpletely unaffected. He felt not an ounce of
sympathy for them.
Watching them break down, he said, “1 love the look on your face, Wace. I can just Imagine how
powerful and excited you must’ve felt when you tortured my best friend. Now, I’m going to convert all
those emotions into despair and fear!
“This, Wace, is power.”
Adrian smiled at that point, causing Wace’s scalp to tingle. “This is power” was a phrase he had said
to Chuck before, and now, much to his surprise, it was being thrown back at him. No matter how much
regret Wace felt at that moment, it was all toote for him to make amends.
…..
‘Is there even a point in regretting what I did now? Everything I did to Chuck is now being inflicted back
on me…”
Wace was rendered speechless upon hearing Adrian’s words, realizing that both he and Cormac had
no other choice but to embrace death.
Ten minutes may seem like a very short time, but it felt like an eternity to the father and son. At the end
of it, they were both exhausted. All the pain they felt was the greatest torture and suffering they had
ever been through.
It was not until they had lost too much blood and their consciousness was fading that Adrian gave
another order. “End them.”
“Yes, sir.”
Wace and Cormar instantly woke up from their drowsiness the moment they beard this.
Wace yelled, “No… P–Please Don’t kill me!”
“Please, sir! Please spare me! I don’t want to die!”
Adrian’s lips curled into a sneer as he looked at Wace and said, “Your entire family will be
investigated after your death. Any one of them with a criminal record will be arrested. It’ll only be a
matter of time before the Cooks disappear from this world.”
Although this was the first time Wace was going up against War Legale Draco, he hade to learn
just how cruel and brutal thetter was. ‘He’s a monster… A monster!!
Wace yelled, “I’lle back to haunt you after I’m dead, you b*stard!”
Adrian merely smiled, “Fine. In that case, I’ll have you enjoy yourself a while longer before you die. You
there, have Wace brought to Chuck’s mother’s grave!”
“Nooo!” Wace yelled to the top of hisngs from despair. He never thought that Adrian would be
capable of such a cruel act or utter such harsh words.
“I’ve made a mistake! 1 never thought he’d be thisnd of person! I’ve underestimated him!”
At that thought, Wace fell into deeper despair, realizing there was no way a man who was able to
climb all the way to the top of Wyvem Peak would be someone he could offend.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” Realizing his mistake, Wace cried, “I’m sorry, sir! Please just shoot me and end
this, please!”
Wace was looking for an easy way out now that he understood there was no way he would be able
to get out of this mess alive. After all, how else would the situation end now that his son was already
dead?
At that moment, all Wace wanted was to be granted a swift death, but that was not what Adrian had
in store for him.
With a wicked smile on his face, Adrian calmly said, “It’s toote for you to get the easy way out. Take
him away.”
Mya waved her hand and a few men grabbed Wace before dragging him outside.
“War Legate Draco!

sir, please!”
Wace continued to struggle as he was dragged out. Yet, no one showed him any sympathy,
regardless of how much he yelled.
Wace and his son were soon going to be sacrificed to console the soul of Chuck’ste mother.
After they were taken away, Adrian said, “Arrest everyone in the Cook family and investigate them. Any
one of them found. with a criminal record is to be killed on the spot ”
“Yes, sir,” Mya answered before leaving.
The ward was now a lot emptier. Rue was trying to recover from the shock Adrian had caused her while
Reiss stood by Chuck’s bed, her eyes filled with fear.
“It’s just as Wace said–Adrian’s a monster! He’s so cruel in his method andcks any show of mercy.
Nobody would possibly dare to offend him knowingly!‘
At that moment, Reiss finally understood just what kind of person Adrian was. He was a bloodthirsty,
cold–blooded murderer.
Even Rue never expected that there was such a side to her son but when she calmed down and
thought deeper, she realized that he would not have be a vital pir of support to this country if he
did not have such a strict hand. Plus, how would he be deserving of his title if he were to show mercy
so easily?
His ruthlessness was only aimed toward his enemies and was, on the flip side, extremely gentle with
the people close to him.
“Are you able to rest easy knowing that they’re both dead now?” Adrian suddenly turned around and
looked at Chuck
Chuck felt a wave of emotion surge through his heart -an immense joy knowing that Wace and
Cormac were hoth dead men. He never thought that the best friend he had not met in so long, would
be apletely different person.
“Thank you, Adrian.”
Adrian nodded. “Again, I want you to focus on your recovery. My mother will help take care of you. I
have to go now. There are other things I need to look into.”
Adrian did indeed have other things to do, so he could not stay.
“All right,” Chuck replied.
Thus, Adrian turned around and left the ward. However, right after he exited the hospital, Reiss caught
up to him and asked, ” Don’t you feel like a monster, Adrian? After all that blood you just shed?”
