    Kayn lowered his head and said nothing.


    Christina was so angry that she wanted to go up and p him. However, Adrian stepped in and said,


    “Stand back, Christina. I still have some questions for him.”


    After Christina stepped back as she was told, Adrian continued, “That time more than a decade ago


    when you first saw me at St. Elmer’s Church… Why did you tell my father what you said?”


    Kayn recalled and shook his head. “I was researching the book from behind the scenes and you just so


    happen toe up during my investigations. Everything I said to your father at the time was based on


    the prophery, but I never thought it’d be referring to you.”


    “Did you intentionally try to meet me a few days ago?” Adrian asked.


    “You could say that. I was broke and went to Charles‘ church to seek help. I unexpectedly met you


    there again. That’s when I thought I’d try to show off a little. I wasn’t expecting for you to be so cautious


    that you’d start investigating me because of the things I said.” Kayn said helplessly.

    “Do you remember the contents of the book?” Adrian asked.


    Kayn raised his head and smiled at Adrian, “You want to know what the contents are? It’s all in my


    head, but are you going to kill me once I’ve given them to you?


    “It’s exactly because of this that I’m choosing not to tell you a word of it.”


    “You’re still trying to negotiate, Father? Don’t you realize you’ve indirectly put everyone in Navia in


    danger because of your silly vengeance for your lover?!” Shirley said angrily.


    Kayn replied, “Please forgive me for this, Shirley. I have no choice. He’ll kill me in a heartbeat the


    moment I tell him the book’s contents, which is why I’m not going to say anything ”


    “What makes you think he won’tll you if you don’t say anything?!” Christina tuusly asked.


    “I dare not guarantee he wouldn’t kill me if I keep my mouth shut. However, I know for a fact he’ll kill me


    once I’ve told him what he wants to know since he wouldn’t have any use for me at that point.”


    At that point, Adrian smiled and said, “I don’t think you understood me earlier, Chase’s father has


    already made a copy of the book, and it’s currently in my possession.”


    “You’re bluffing. If he did indeed make a copy of the book, it’d be in Chase’s hands a long time ago. It’s


    true that Chase would’ve memorized its contents, but he’s not going to tell you a word of it. So, I’m the


    only one besides him who knows. what the book says, aside from the ounders. Everyone else


    involved is now dead,” Kayn stated bluntly.


    Adrian narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.


    Meanwhile, Kayn continued, “Chase is also looking to arrest me right now, so only death awaits me


    should I fall into his hands. However, if you protect me, I could tell you a portion of the book’s contents


    every day until I die. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you everything before I die of a natural death.”


    Adrian blew away the hot steam from his cup of tea when he heard this.


    “Let me tell you a story. Three years ago, during the battle at the ounds, a Lupon general tried to


    negotiate with me, just like what you’re doing right now. I got so angry because of his attitude that I


    lalled him on the spot.


    “Moral of the story? You’ll never get your way with me using threats,” Adrian said with a smile.


    However, Kayn smiled and said, “That’s because none of them had enough leverage to negotiate with


    you, but I do. I know you desperately want to know the book’s contents, and I can share a piece with


    you right now.”


    Still smiling, Kayn continued, “Hannibal wrote that Samantha would give birth to a boy, Neo. However,


    Neo will never see his father even once. Eighteen years after he’s horn, he’ll be the first Draking


    to ever exist Navia. ”


    “Nobody in their right mind would believe such a prophery. They’re all nothing more than fake


    statements with no scientific exnation!” Mya yelled.


    “But it has alreadye true for War Legate Draco, hasn’t it? Or are you trying to say that this


    coincidence isn’t big enough?


    “Also, think about it, sir. Are you nning to name the child in Samantha’s belly Neo? If you are, then


    I’ve just proven that the prophecy is indeeding true.”


    Kayn smiled because he could tell from Adrian’s gaze that he was right.


    After that, to emphasize his importance, Kayn said, “Juno will take control of Wyvern Peak from you.


    However, Wyvern Peak will no longer be called as such in a few years‘ time. Instead, Juno will change


    its name to Purgatorium. On top of that, neither you, Juno nor your wife are getting a happy ending.”
