Chapter 519


    Lucia was now as silent as the p grave. After all, being Lex’s wife, she naturally knew who War Legate


    Draco was


    She had never thought that the legate would show up on her doorstep.


    Lex was trembling as he finally realized what was happening, and why he had been having a sense of


    foreboding. Stuttering, he said, “L–legate, I have nothing to do with Lucius‘ activities. Also, I’m a


    member of Internal Affairs, so you have no jurisdiction over my actions.”


    “And what if I insist on interfering?” Adrian asked.


    “Um…”


    Lex knew better than anyone else he would not be able to stop Adrian if thetter insisted on


    apprehending him


    Lucia was now no longer able to utter a single word, knowing that she was in huge trouble. Never in


    her life had she felt fear, or be anyone’s target. Yet, on this very day, her entire life was being


    turned around as despair, regret, and all sorts of other negative emotions clouded her mind.


    Both husband and wife were trembling so much that they were finding it difficult to stand up straight


    “Str, 1–I didn’t know you’de here. There must be some sort of misunderstanding, Lucius may be


    my brother–inw, but I very rarely see him. I don’t know what he’s been up to.”


    Adrian smiled when he heard this “You may not be aware, hut your wife probably is. I’m not leaving


    here empty handed, so I’m going to take your head. Do you have any objections?


    “I–I.”


    Out of despair, Lex got on his knees and started pleading


    “Please, sir! I beg you.. Please don’t do this! I’m sorry… I’m sorry! I really am!


    “Azzah!”


    As Lex cried in despair, Lucia sat lifelessly on the floor, her eyes zed over. She was unable to


    comprehend why these things were happening to her. This would be the first time in her life that she felt


    despair and regret.


    Before, she did not even flinch when she wanted to have two people killed, but that has all changed


    now.


    “Sir, please…” Lex crawled toward Adrian and clutched at Adrian’s pants.


    Adrian’s demeanor became extremely cold as he looked at the man before him. Then, Lex watched as


    Adrian raised his hand up like a de.


    “sar! Sir Lex yelled at the top of his lungs. Yet, with a swift “Swoosh,” Lex copsed to the ground after


    being cut down.


    “Nooo!!!


    Lucia screamed and trembled vigorously the moment Lex fell over, almost driven to the point of lunacy.


    In her mind, everything had happened too quickly. One moment ago, she was yelling about how she


    wanted two people killed, and the next, she became one of the two who were to be killed.


    Filled with an immense amount of regret, Lucia broke down as Adrain walked toward her. He squatted


    in front of her and looked at her trembling figure as he asked, “Do you have a child?”


    “Yes! Yes, I do!”


    Lucia nodded profusely and said, “M–My son’s still in high school, sir. P–Please.. I don’t want to die. I


    have a son…”


    Adrian nodded. “Don’t worry, your son will be well taken care of You, on the other hand, ik me with that


    thickyer of makeup you’ve got on your face and your relentlessly wicked mouth. It’s just two dead


    people. Nothing to fuss about, right?” Lucia continued to bawl her eyes out.N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.
