The Return of the War Legate



Chapter 729

Terry stood there in a daze. He turned to look at Nyssa once more, who was smiling at him.

He then turned back and asked, "Who kidnapped Nyssa? Why would they do such a thing?"

Adrian replied honestly, "It was Bloody Rose-an organization from the outlands. They've kidnapped many young women to nurture them into killers. Your sister was only one of many."

Terry took a deep breath, not expecting to hear that answer. Even though Nyssa left him six years ago, he had no idea she had been kidnapped.

He walked over to Nyssa before getting down on his knees. "I'm sorry, Nyssa. I had no idea you've gone through so much. I'm sorry for what I said before."

Nyssa smiled and stroked Terry's hair. "It's all right, I'm fine now. War Legate Draco saved me, and I'm doing much better by working for him."

Terry got up and turned toward Adrian. "Will I be able to change everything if I get into ACMA? Will I be able to destroy Bloody Rose to avenge my sister and all the other women?"

"That's only if you're competent enough to do so."

"Competent? I don't know martial arts, so I can't fight. I doubt I could become a soldier," Terry replied honestly.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Adrian clapped his hands and got up. "Actually, soldiers aren't the only ones we rely on in a squad to win battles. We have to rely on this too."

He then pointed at his head before continuing, "Allow me to give you an answer as to what is wealth, Terry. The knowledge in your brain and the books you've read in the past are your wealth. With these, you're now a wealthy man."

"I understand," Terry said.

"What do you understand?"

"I may not be able to fight, but I can lead, which means I could become a strategist. I'll rely on nothing but the knowledge I have in my head."

Adrian smiled. "But first, you have to be determined. If you're able to get into ACMA, you'll be set on the path to make something out of your life.

"I doubt you'd be satisfied with just being a money-rich man after all the books you've read, would you? Don't you want to make a legacy for yourself that gets recorded in history books?"

These statements made Terry's blood boil as he excitedly asked, "C-Can I really do all this?"

"So long as you have an undying will and believe that you're worth something to the world and bravely face every obstacle in the way, I'm sure you'll be able to do all that. In fact, you

might even become a legend-a myth."

"You mean like you?" Terry asked.

"No, you should surpass me. The student should always be better than the master for the world to progress. So, if your will is strong enough to support you, you'll one day surpass me by leaps and bounds." Adrian smiled.

"Okay. I know what I should do with my life now. I'm going to become like you, no, better than you."

Terry experienced an adrenaline rush.

Adrian once again pointed to his head and said, "In order to achieve greatness, one should have a kind heart, glorious ambition, and the ability to see through all the nonsense in the world. Then, you'll be able to identify what you should and shouldn't do."

Terry clenched his fists at that point.

Adrian smiled. "ACMA will be holding their annual recruitment drive at the end of the month, and it's open for everyone to join. Go ahead once you're sure you want to do this.

"And one more thing. Your sister will personally pick you up when you've graduated from there."

Adrian stood up after this and said, "Nyssa, you've got an hour to spend with your brother before we head back to Swallowston. We've still got things to do."

Nyssa stood up and loudly said, "Yes, sir!"
