Chapter 722
Nyssa happily jogged to her room and changed into a short skirt.
Ten minutester, she walked out of the tower, where Adrian had been waiting in his car.
Adrian punched the elerator after Nyssa got in. Inside, he said, “Terry’s not even seventeen this
year, is he?”
Nyssa hummed in acknowledgment. “He’s just celebrated his sixteenth birthday, so he isn’t seventeen
yet. Where is he, sir?”
With a smile, Adrian said, “He’s been living pretty well actually. He wandered around in Wellborough for
a few years before the headmaster of Wellborough High took him in out of pity, even sponsoring his
studies. Terry’s just got into high school. He’s in his first year.”
Wellborough was within Southrive, the same as Swallowston. Moreover, Wyvern Peak was in control of
all of Southrive.
Nyssa became extremely excited when she heard Adrian’s words. “He’s been alone ever since our
parents died. I’m surprised to see he has managed to stay strong all these years. I’m also surprised he
crossed paths with such a kind man.”
“Well, most people are nice. I’ve looked into the guy who took him in. He’s the headmaster of
Wellborough High with a decent history. He’s also a really nice guy who has helped more than fifty
students throughout his life. Your brother is one of them.”
Gazing at Adrian, Nyssa’s happiness was written all over her face. “He’s such a nice man! I have to
thank him in person when we get there, sir.”
Adrian smiled. “I’ve already arranged for that to happen. You’ll see when we get there.”
Nyssa’s opinion of Adrian changedpletely when she heard this.
In the past, she felt a little hatred, fear, and even respect for him. However, after dealing with him over
the past few days, she realized that War Legate Draco was very much unlike how Eira had described
him.
Instead, she felt that there were times when Adrian was capable of being kind. At least, she felt that
way.
It was at that moment Nyssa finally understood she was slowly recovering her past self she had lost
over the years. And unbeknownst to her, she was slowly falling for the man she was in the car with.
Happily, she said, “Everyone back at Bloody Rose used to talk about you, saying how you and Chase
are both selfish people and jerks who only care about yourselves. But now, I can see that’s far from the
truth.”
Adrian was surprised for a moment before he smiled. “What kind of man do you think I am then?”

“I think you’re manly, kind, brave, determined, yet benevolent. Also, mature and very attractive. You
saved my life, you’ve found my little brother. I’m confident that you’re a good person.”
and now
This was the first time someone thought of Adrian as a good person, so he shook his head and thought
Nyssa was pretty cute.
“I’m not actually as nice as you think, Nyssa.”
“But you are to me. Aside from Ivy and the others, you’re the only one who treats me well,” Nyssa said
earnestly.
Adrian let off a heartfelt smile and stroked Nyssa’s head, causing her to squirm a little.
After that, the two of them headed to Wellborough High in silence.
***
Wellborough High was a rather old school, but it was the best one Wellborough had to offer.
The headmaster’s name was Owen Tucker, a sixty–seven–year–old man who had given his entire life
to educating others. For over more than forty years now, to be exact. Even though he was nearing
retirement at this point, he still had not forgotten about why he was doing all this.
At that moment, Owen was watering some nts at one of the courtyards behind the teacher’s faculty.
He had been living here for more than twenty years.
Suddenly, an old woman walked out of a little house by the courtyard. She looked at Owen and said,
“We don’t have enough
money to buy meat, Owen. You have to think of something.”
