Chapter 535


    Asher’s death had taught Harial of the legate’s methods.


    He knew that the legate was not joking around, and now understood that the legate was the devil!


    Adrian nonchntly looked at Harial, who was on his knees, before him. He picked up the information


    gathered from Daniel’s investigation.


    “Harial, ording to this file, you haven’tmitted any serious crimes. Based on my Investigation,


    you have not been involved in any particrly serious situation.


    “However, you now understand that I don’t tolerate any mistakes, right?” Adrian asked Harial in a low


    tone.


    Harial nodded profusely. “Yes, sir. Absolutely. I’ll do anything that you ask of me from now on. Your


    request is mymand, Legate!


    Harial was scared out of his wits. He initially wanted to put on a strong front like Asher but reality had


    proved that Asher was a fool. There were times when one needed to yield to survive.


    Harial did not deserve to be killed so Adrian had no intention of doing so. However, he wanted to scare


    Harial so that it would be more convenient for him to execute his ns as he wished from now on.


    He stretched out his hand and patted Harial’s shoulder. “You’re about forty or fifty years old now. You


    know what you should and shouldn’t do, right?”


    “Yes, I do!” Hartal hastily agreed.


    If you do, then don’t make me repeat myself. All night, you may take your family with you and leave.


    However, remember that I’m always here.”


    “Yes, sir! Yes, sir!” Harial answered repeatedly as he quickly stood up. “I shall bid my farewell to you


    now, sir. If you ever need anything, all you have to do is give me the order.”


    He and a few other people immediately ran out of the room without hesitation. And with his departure,


    there were only thepany presidents and the few women cowering in theer left in the private


    room.


    Thesepany presidents were not as calm andposed as people imagined them to be. They


    were staring at Adrian as they shook, wondering if they should leave or stay.


    Adrian ignored them. His gazended on the young women shaking in theer

    “Ahh!”


    courage to dely Adrian’smand and


    The young women were so startled that they shricked. However, none of them had the co crawled their


    way to him. They looked up at Adrian with their tear–streaked faces.


    “Legate, please don’t kill me. I’m begging you. L…I don’t want to die!”


    “Sir, my mother is sick in the hospital. I’m her only daughter. Please set me free, sir!”


    A few young women begged as they cried.


    Adrian inhaled a deep breath. He narrowed his eyes. “Let me ask you this. Why do you choose to do


    this here when you can do much better?”


    One of the long–haired women said shaldly through her tears, “My mother is sick and needs a lot of


    money for her treatments. I don’t have the money so my friend rmended that 1e to work here


    tonight. She said I’ll be paid three thousand dors if I made Mr. Asher and Mr. Harial happy tonight.”


    “Three thousand dors for a night? That’s pretty good money. A factory worker makes less than three


    thousand in two months,” Adrian mused.


    “SIT, I…”


    “It’s good to be filial,” Adrian said.


    “Sir, you…you’re not going to kill me, right?” The woman raised her head, tears streaming down her


    face. Adrian kept quiet for a while.
