Chapter 443


    Rupert trembled when he heard this.


    *Three seconds? Are you kidding me? That’s literally not time at all!!


    However, he immediately shouted when Adrian started counting down, “I’ll do it! I’ll do it!”


    After that, he was trembling even more vigorously as his sweat drenched his clothes.


    Adrian smiled and said, “In that case, have your men sent to Byron’s residence immediately. I’ll be right


    there.


    “And remember. No press.”


    “Yes, sir!” Rupert shouted and waved. “Let’s go!”


    Rupert and his men immediately y ran out of the house and did as they were told. However, Dale was


    still on his knees, not daring to get up without Adrian’s permission. He trembled even more after Rupert


    left.

    “Are you still going to tear down this house tomorrow?” Adrian asked as he looked at Dale.


    Dale immediately shook his head “I–I’m not going to tear down this ce anymore, sir. I won’t do it no


    matter what!”


    “You know, I’m not an unreasonable man. You’re free to tear down the ce once you’vepensated


    the owner for his


    losses.”


    “U–Understood, sir.” Dale nodded.


    “You may leave now.” “You may


    “T–Thank you, sir!” Dale hurriedly get up and ran for the door, leaving Adrian and the other two.


    Unable to control herself, Reiss tutted and said, “That was quite the spectacle, Legate. You must be


    really proud of yourself after seeing how harrified they were.”


    Adrian looked at Reiss and chose not to reply to thatment.


    e got matters to handle so I’m going to have to leave now. Where are you staying now, Reiss?”


    “I’ve got


    “Your cousin’s currently living alone so she invited me to stay with her for the time being.”


    “That was a pretty good idea. After all, Reiss and Riley are both of simr ages and have simr life


    experiences, with Leonard and Wilfred stuck in prison at the moment.‘


    At that thought, Adrian nodded and immediately departed.


    Hupert immediately mobilized all of his subordinates when he returned. As a result, a total of three


    hundred fully–armed men headed for Byron’s residence


    Hupert did not dare try to go against Adrian’s orders, knowing how merciless the legate could be. After


    all, the legate had already executed Wace and his entire family so why would he be afraid of killing


    someone as insignificant as Rupert?


    In fact, this operation was probably the biggest one Rupert had ever carried out in his whole life. His


    entire team swiftly fell in line without leaking a single word to anyone.


    Half an hourter, their cars surrounded Hyron’s ce before they barricaded it, awaiting their final


    orders. Through theirmunications device, itupert said, “Listen up, everyone. None of you are


    allowed to move without my explicit orders. I want you all to remain in hiding and wait for the legate to


    arrive.”


    “Yes, sir!” Everyone softly acknowledged.


    Rupert and his team were hiding behind the shadows at Byron’s residence.


    Suddenly, Adrian, who was in his ck battle suit, slowly walked toward them. Nobody was able to see


    his face due to his mask.


    When Rupert spotted him, he immediately walked over and said, “I’m done gathering my men. Are we


    going in to arrest him now?”
