Chapter 523
As soon as Julian’s voice faded away, Sarah swiftly made her way to Adrian’s side and stretched out
her hand to rummage through his pocket.
The legate would usually bring his War Legate Medallion wherever he went.
Sarah soon located the medallion and took it out to show Julian. She said to him, “Are you illiterate,
Julian? What are the words written on the medallion? Read it!”
Julian looked over. “War Legate Draco’s Medallion!”
Upon saying that, he abruptly took a few steps back out of shock. Then, with an “umm,” he raised his
head to look at Adrian with his jaw agape. He waspletely dumbfounded.
In the next moment, Julian felt his face blush scarlet. He was so embarrassed that he wished he could
hide himself.
He was utterly humiliated.
Adrian chuckled and said after seeing the amusing expression on Julian’s face, “Why? Is this how
you’re going to react when you meet me?”
Julian said awkwardly, “Oh… I’m sorry, Legate. I’m blind for not recognizing you. I’m sorry for offending
you!”
Julian’s face turned as red as a tomato, and he wished that he could leave right away.
“You mentioned being a celebrity earlier. Is it very impressive to be a celebrity? Is it even greater than
the soldiers fighting battles on the front lines? You make it sound like you’re very impressive,” Adrian
said with a smile.
Julian did not respond. He had no idea how to answer Adrian’s question.
He had only wanted to show off while in Sarah’s presence. He never expected to be hit by a crushing
blow like this.
Meanwhile, Adrian continued, “There are different professions with different work ethics. Being a
celebrity is just a profession that makes money slightly faster than manualbor. However, I don’t feel
that being a celebrity is that great. In fact, celebrities are lesser than those who fix railways for me.
Julian’s face turned even redder.
“Tell me, where are your work ethics?” Adrian asked.
Julian was incapable of uttering a single word and was blushing so much that even his neck was red.
Noticing this, Adrian gave up onmenting on the matter any further. “All right, you should get as far
away from here a you can. Don’t let me see your greatness anymore. I’m scared that your greatness
will outshine mine.”
Julian, flushed red, quickly bolted after Adrian finished his sentence.
Sarah covered her mouth and sniggered after Julian was gone. “You’re awesome, Adrian. You
managed to render Julian speechless so easily,”
Adrian smiled bitterly at Sarah and said, “All right, stop snickering already. You should go home. I have
other matters to attend to.”
“So you’re okay with me staying, right?” Sarah asked as her eyes narrowed.
“I’m okay with being your friend and nothing else,” Adrian said.
“How about being my family? I’d like us to be family,” Sarah said while giggling.
Upon saying that, she looked Adrian up and down and said, “I can see that you’re old. You even have
stubble all over your chin. How about you be my father? You can raise me like your daughter from now
on!”
“I don’t have a daughter as old as you Adrian red at her.
Sarah bent over and burst out inughter. On the other hand, Adrian did not linger and walked to the
far end of the field. He
wanted to meet William.
After all, Sandy and William sacrificed themselves for Novemton. Now that Sandy’s son was in trouble,
Adrian did not wish to abandon him either.
Seeing Adrian walking away, Sarah said, “Remember what you promised me. I’m going to head home
first. You’ll be seeing me tomorrow because I’ll be moving into Jewel Road!”
Adrian waved to signify that he heard her.
Sarah left giggling.

At three in the afternoon, Adrian arrived at William’s house to find him cooking for Reed.
Noticing Adrian’s arrival, William hastily said, “You’re here, sir.”
