Chapter 589


    Nadine finally understood everything, never expecting such a thing to be happening.


    She inhaled a deep breath and said, “It’s no wonder so many people by the same name were killed and


    buried here. It turns out that they were assassinated ording to someone’s hit list. Hence, you came


    to see me because you suspect that they were assassinating Wyvern Frak’s soldiers based on the


    book auctioned by Fowler House ten years ago, right?”


    Adrian said, “That book is the only clue I have now. If the people behind this have a skilled professional


    to perform precise calctions and all sorts ofplicated predictions, it is highly possible that they


    can predict the name of the next legate. Then, they will assassinate everyone who shares the same


    name.”


    “I understand now.” Nadine said.


    “If Wyvern Peak is dissolved, do you think Novemton’s Internal Affairs has the ability to protect the


    country? Ms. Nadine, frankly, it’s not that I refuse to admit defeat. Navemton’s Internal Affairs and I


    aren’t at war at all. I dissolved Wyvern Prakto prevent my soldiers from dying prematurely.”


    “I dissolved it to prevent the country from being thrown into chaos.

    “However, it will only rise again after its dismissal. As the leader of Wyvern Peak, I need to consider the


    safety of myrades, even if it’s not in the country’s best interest. There are times when we get


    involved in wars for future peace.”


    Nadine lowered her head. She acknowledged that she had underestimated War Legale Draco and had


    never thought about


    things this way.


    At this very moment, she had changed her way of thinking. She was under the assumption that her


    uncle would be able to control this. But judging by the current situation, Chase was narrow–minded


    whenpared to the legate.


    Nowerton’s Internal Affair did not possess a single shred of generosity. Even though they imed to


    seek peace, their weakmess andck of capability would be revealed sooner orter.


    Nadine felt that it was true too that it had always been Wyvern Peak that protected the country against


    the ounds. It was apparent to her that the ounders were attempting to take down Wyvern Peak in


    many ways based on the incidents that had happened.


    The country would be doumned if Wyvern Peak was wiped out.


    “I’m sorry I misjudged you,” Nadine apologized.


    Adrian ced a hand on her shoulder. “You’re a member of the Gardner family. Perhaps there are not


    many sensible Gardners, but you should know full well that I’m capable of returning to my city and


    enjoying my life to the fullest withi beautiful women by my side every day. Yet, I’m out here trying to find


    a foothold for Wyvern Peak


    “And why am I doing this? It’s not for the honor. I have enough of that tost me a lifetime


    “No, I’m doing it for myrades. They need me. If I leave, Wyvern Peak will be doutned. When that


    happens, Noventon’s Internal Affairs won’t be able to hold the fort.”


    Adrian’s words reverberated in Nadine’s ears. The frustration in his words was as clear as day.


    Just as Adriana mentioned, be bad enough honor tost him a lifetime. It was unnecessary for him to


    continue pursuing his current path.


    Was Noventor’s Internal Affairs truly capable of leading the country?


    The answer was changing to a “no” in Nadine’s perception. She turned her head to Adrian. “Give me


    some time to prepare. I’ll reach out to you turnorrow and take you to the family home to search for the


    clues my grandfather left behind.


    “However, you must promise me one thg”


    “What is it?” Adrian asked.


    “Please don‘: let me die.”
