Chapter 703

‘Eternity?‘

The Snows were astonished.

Ivy squeezed Eira’s shoulder and said smilingly, “We’ll wait for you outside so as not to disturb your reunion with your family, Eira.”

She then led the other women outside, leaving Eira and her family alone in the room.

In Battle Warrior Tower’s office, Adrian was sitting on the sofa sipping coffee. Ivy walked into the office but did not utter a word.

Upon noticing the situation, he smiled at her and said, “Please, sit.”

Ivy took a seat opposite Adrian. He then got up and poured her a cup of coffee.

“This is the coffee that Internal Affairs‘ Chase drinks frequently. It’s purported to cost tens of thousands of dollars per fifty grams. It’s reserved coffee from Mount Caligo. Have a taste!” he said while beckoning toward the coffee mug.

Ivy picked up the mug but did not drink. Instead, she looked at Adrian and said, “Go ahead and ask your questions. We’re already at the end of our rope now. I’ll tell you everything I know.”

Adrian smiled, he felt overwhelmed by Ivy’s unexpected favor. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Why? You’re not your arrogant self anymore?” he asked smilingly.

Ivy kept quiet. Then, she shook her head and said, “Frankly, us sisters are rather simple–minded. We all want to live a simple life too but we can’t. We may have some weaknesses but more often it’s that

we just don’t have free will.

“I take back the angry words I said to you, Draco, but that doesn’t mean I’m changing my opinion of you.”

Adrian asked out of curiosity, “What is your opinion of me?”

“You’re a cunning man.”

“Cunning?”

“Yes. You’re cunning and treacherous. You want to go against Chase for the sole purpose of elevating Wyvern Peak to the throne. In essence, Chase and you are one and the same. You merely support different interests,” said Ivy without any hesitation.

Adrian never expected himself to be interpreted in this way. However, he did not mind it. He shook his head and chuckled. ” Okay, you may regard me as that sort of person for the time being. However, I’m curious. Why does Eira loathe Wyvern Peak so much?”

Ivy replied, “She sought help from Wyvern Peak but the organization didn’t save her. Your organization brought her hope, then utterly disappointed her.”

“When did that happen?”

“A few years ago, I guess. She escaped from Bloody Rose in the outlands at the time and bumped into your people. However, they abandoned her because she was a member of Bloody Rose. Afterward, she got captured again.”

Adrian did not comment further. It would have been impossible for Wyvern Peak to save Eira at the time because they would be breaking Wyvern Peak’s rules and regulations.

All this was understandable.

“Okay, tell me about why you showed up at St. Elmer’s Church. Why were you trying to acquire the book and what’s your purpose? Who ordered you to do it?” Adrian diverted to the main subject after the small talks.

“It was Eternity.”

“Who or what is Eternity?” Adrian asked.

“The person behind Bloody Rose. We’ve never seen her in real life. All we know is that she’s a woman. She entrusted us with the mission to find the book from St. Elmer’s Church and bring it back to Bloody Rose,” Ivy answered truthfully.
