Chapter 617


    Samantha fell silent, thinking that Adrian was right.


    However, there were times when one had to be very brave before making certain decisions.


    Adrian was already considered to be of old age to Wyver Peak–with all of his capabilities gradually


    deteriorating. What they needed was a new legate with excellent reflexes and a clear mental state to


    manage them.


    Hence, he was searching for such a person.


    The question was whether Juno was truly capable of bing the legate of Wyvern Peak. Indeed, if


    she became the legate, she would be the first in Wyvern Peak’s history–Navia’s even


    Samantha took a deep breath and said, “I support you, dear, but you’re still going to have to persuade


    Mother”


    “I’ll talk to her about itter.”

    Samantha said nothing more about the matter.


    Adrian gave out orders over the next few days to all of Wyvern Peak’s soldiers that were scattered


    across the country to be on standby.


    Meanwhile, he made preparations to retrieve War Legate Achelous‘ corpse from the Gardners for a


    proper burial. After all, War Legate Achelous had been one of the top ten legates throughout Wyvern


    Peak’s history.


    While Adrian was making preparations, arge conference was being held one afternoon within


    Internal Affairs headquarters in Novemton. The highest–ranking officials from various departments


    were gathered inside the headquarters‘ boardroom, including the speaker, prefect leader, chief judge,


    chief secretary, and many more.


    The conference was to discuss Wyvern Peak. Chase realized that the soldiers of Wyvern Peak that


    should have been scattered had recently gathered up in various cities,


    At that moment, he was still unaware of what Wyvern Peak was up to.


    Someone suggested that Wyvern Peak’s soldiers be rounded up and kept under tabs immediately.


    However, the fact of the matter was Novemton’s Internal Affairs had no jurisdiction over those soldiers.


    In the end, they decided to have their staff at various cities issue these soldiers a warning, asking for


    them to disperse immediately and not gather in the future.


    Soon, these staff members went into action and the people from Wyvern Peak dispersed without


    making a scene. This caused Chase to be even more suspicious because he still could not figure


    out what Wyvern Peak was up to.


    What would end up surprising him further was that they were nning something that had to do with


    his very own backyard.


    That night, Nadine and Carlene were at their vi.


    Carlene had just taken a bath and changed into her pajamas. Although she was already fifty years old,


    she did not seem like her age in the slightest. In fact, some might even mistake her for being Nadine’s


    sister.


    On top of that, being a legate’s wife, she had a unique temperament to her. This was something that


    could not be nurtured.


    Just as Carlene was about to turn in for the night, someone suddenly pushed open her bedroom door


    and walked in. It was Nadine, silently watching her.


    “What’s the matter? It’s alreadyte. Why aren’t you going to bed yet?” Carlene asked with a smile as


    she looked at her daughter..


    Nadine seemed rather disturbed.
