The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 92

At that moment, one of the former classmates said, “Come on, guys. Let’s go.”

A few of them who were ashamed of themselves got up and left, afraid that Adrian might end up doing the same to them. Soon, all of them had left, including Cassey.

The main hall was completely empty, leaving only the couple inside.

Adrian passed the glass of milk to Samantha with a smile on his face and said, “Finally, some peace and quiet. Have a drink. We’ll leave after we’re done with our food.” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Samantha accepted the glass and placed it on the table.

“What just happened, Adrian? Why have Mario and Dickson gone bankrupt? How could you possibly know they were going to go bankrupt within such a short time? Did you cause all that?

“Also, look at these dishes you’ve ordered! How are we supposed to pay for them?”

Samantha’s mind was filled with all sorts of questions.

‘Forget Mario and Dickson, how are we supposed to pay for this table of food? I’m sure it’ll cost us at least twenty thousand dollars. There’s no way I’ll be able to afford this!!

Seeing how much of a panic Samantha was in, Adrian said, “I told you that we weren’t going to come here to get laughed at. Instead, we came to prove to them that you’re better off than any of them.

“Battle Warrior Lucas was the one behind the fall of both the Pykes and the Kramers. He planned all this a long time ago.”

“Battle Warrior Lucas was behind all this?”

Adrian nodded. “That’s right. My guess is that neither of those two families is very nice. Lucas has been targeting corrupt companies ever since he got here. In fact, I’m sure those two families have done a lot of unspeakable ills, so don’t you agree it’s normal for him to want to be rid of them?

“I’m sure they aren’t the only families who’ll get wiped out of existence. After all, we won’t be able to have new blond running brand new companies if these filthy ones don’t get out of the way.” Adrian explained.

Samantha knew very well how the Pykes and the Kramers operated their company and that they were involved in some

unspeakable operations.

Seeing how Adrian’s explanation contained no flaw, Samantha asked, “But even so, how could you possibly know they were going to go bankrupt?”

“Have you forgotten the time when General Daniel asked me to pretend to be the legate? I saw a list of names when I was at the battle warrior department.”

“What list ?”

“It’s a list of unethical businesses in Swallowston that needs to be punished. It was clearly stated that those two companies: would be exterminated today.

“Why did you think I agreed to attend this wedding on your behalf? It’s because I knew the Pykes were going to go under on this very day.”

Samantha seened to have understood everything when she heard this. She even thought that it was natural for Adrian to have found a list at the battle warrior department. She finally understood why Adrian insisted that she attended Cassey’s wedding.

‘I see, so he knew all along that this was poing to happen.‘

After heaving a sigh of relief, she said, “I see. I’m sorry for thinking you were being recldess when you agreed to come here.”

Adrian merely smiled. “I’m no fool, you know? As if I didn’t know Cassey only invited you just to laugh at you. Well, she ended up becoming the jester herself. Let’s hope she learns her lesson this time.”

Samantha nodded.

“What about these dishes then?” Samantha pointed at the exquisite delicacies in front of them.

Adrian stroked her hair and passed her some cutlery. “To be honest, these dishes aren’t that expensive. General Daniel gave me a VIP card for this hotel. Thanks to the card, all these dishes will only cost us a few hundred dollars, which is well within my budget.

“Relax and let’s eat!”
