Chapter 706
Adrian smiled and said, “Youdies could stay at my ce, but it won’t be for free. You’re all highly
trained assassins from Bloody Rose, which makes you very organized. I’d like you to work for me.”
“Not a chance. We’re not going to help you with anything or kill anyone. We won’t get involved in the
strife between you and Chase. We may be killers, but we’ve never harmed one of our own, so you can
forget about it.”
“Is there really no room for negotiation here?”
“Yes,” Ivy answered firmly. She then added, “We were forced to work for Bloody Rose in the first ce.
Now that that part of our life is over, we’ll never return to it even if we have to die.”
Adrian asked, “But what if I can help you by saving all of your sisters that Bloody Rose is holding
hostage?”
“What?!”
Ivy was slightly startled when she heard this. She exchanged nces with Eira, while Mya’s eyes
curved up as she smiled and observed.
“Are you pulling my leg? You think you can save them? Even if you can defeat Chase, it’s still
impossible for you to defeat the ounds, or even Eternity, for that matter. You can’t possibly be
capable of aplishing such a feat.”
Adrian smiled. “Since taking over Wyvern Peak, I’ve fought in the Battle of Azure Creek, fought in the
Battle of Raging River, and was even trapped in war on a deserted ind. I faced hail after hail of
bullets, and yet, I didn’t lose any of those battles. There’s no such thing as ‘failure‘ in my dictionary.”
“Anyone can boast about their great feats, but very few have been able to prove themselves. Chase’s
schemes wouldn’t have strung you along if you’re that great, would they?” Ivy said condescendingly.
“So, you think Chase has been stringing me along this whole time, huh?”
“What else could it be? Wyvern Peak has been dissolved.”
Adrian merely smiled and said nothing.
At that moment, Mya pped her hands to signal for both women to look at her. “There’s something I’d
like to rify on the legate’s behalf,dies. It may seem like Chase has been stringing him along, but
the truth is all the legate has to do is give the word and Chase’s head would be rolling across the floor
the next moment.”
“Then how was Wyvern Peak dissolved if you people are so powerful?” Ivy refuted.
“What do you think?”
“I think you guys are afraid of Chase.”
Adrianughed and walked out of the office without saying anything, leaving Ivy extremely annoyed.
Meanwhile, Mya said, “Do you think Chase would be allowed to live for this long if the legate hadn’t
considered the livelihood of Novemton’s citizens? Why do you think he dissolved Wyvern Peak? It’s so
that Navia doesn’t end up being thrown into chaos.
“Moreover, he needs a reason to kill Chase. With it, Internal Affairs can’t retaliate once Chase is killed.
Do you two understand now? Do you get why the legate chose not to go up against Novemton?”
Mya questioned the two women, leaving them in a daze. Her lips then curled into a smile as she
continued, “Truth be told, we have men by the emperor’s side, not just Chase’s. We have all the ability
in the world to do what we want, but what we’re missing is a perfect reason to make the people of
Novemton believe in us.”

Right after Mya said this, Adrian backtracked into the office and turned his head around, a smile across
his face. “Ladies, feel free to stay in the Tower for the time being while you decide whether you wish to
work for me or not.
“Once you’ve decided, we’ll head out to eliminate the spies Bloody Rose has ced around
Swallowston. A few days after that, we’ll pay Chase’sir at Windton a little visit.
“You have three days to decide. Miss the deadline and it’s farewell for all of us.” Adrian left after saying
this, while the two women remained stunned in ce.
