The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 611

Nadine covered her mouth, feeling a tingle on her scalp and cold sweat triclding down her back.

Perhaps the coffin had shocked her nerves with its tremendous impact that her legs trembled profusely and gave way

Under the light, the glass coffin was revealed to contain a corpse, one that was drying up.

“What’s a coffin doing in here?” Adrian frowned and snapped a photo of it.

Nadine, who stood next to him, was stunned. The floor beneath her, including her high heels, was already drenched.

Adrian turned around and looked at the floor in cunfusion. “Did you just wet yourself out of shock?”

Nadine was in tears and red in the face “1-I… I tend to..Wh-When I get too nerveus…”

Adrian heaved a sigh and picked Nadine off the floor.

“Her muscles are all tensed up. Looks like she really is nervous.”

Adrian then patted her body and helped move her limbs around. “You shouldn’t have come here. Anyway, it’s just a corpse. You’ve got me here, don’t you?”

Finally, Nadine relaxed a little, but she still felt frightened. She never thought her grandfather would live in a place with a coffin inside it. Worse, there was a dead person inside the coffin.

“Is this your grandfather?” Adrian asked as he shone a light on the shriveled corpse.

Nadine, hiding behind Adrian, took a peek before anxiously shaking her head. “N-No, he’s not my grandfather. My grandfather was buried.”

Adrian frowned as he continued to take a closer look at the corpse. Suddenly, he realized….

“Those clothes. They seem really familiar… That’s an old-model battle suit of Wyvern Peak. It has decayed so much that it already fused with the corpse and changed completely.”

Adrian fell silent at that thought with a frown on his face. Next to him, Nadine gripped his arm even tighter as she anxiously said, “What’s the matter, Adrian? Please say something. I get really scared when you’re so quiet.”

Adrian turned around and looked at Nadine for a moment. “Where’s your father?”

Startled, Nadine replied, “Wh-What do you mean?” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Adrian looked at the corpse once more. “I meant, where’s your father buried”

“Southrive Cemetery.”

Adrian remained silent for a moment before shaking his head. “According to the records of Wyvern Peak’s history, War Legate Achelous’ body went missing in the cutlands Wyvern Peak sent out a lot of people to try and retrieve it but failed. Now, it turns out that…it’s actually here.”

“What are you saying?” Nadine became extremely shocked and took a look at the shriveled corpse. “A- Are you saying that’s War Legate Achelous?”

Adrian nodded. “Yes, the legate battle suit he’s wearing proves that my hypothesis is right. The corpse within this coffin is no doubt your father.”

Nadine froze as though her mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts. ‘It Adrian’s right, then the mystery has deepened even further.”

“Father?” Nadine mumbled.

Adrian chose not to stay for much longer and continued past the living roun as he grabbed Nadine’s hand. “We’ll talk more about this later. Right now, we have something to find.”

However, Nadine’s mind had already drifted far away,

Adrian came this morning to look for something that would be related to Heroes of Wyvern Peak, so that corpse’s true Identity was not something he should dwell on at that moment.

The living room was very clean and tidy, with all of its decorations placed in an orderly fashion.

*Nadine said there are cleaners taking care of this place on a daily basis, and that nobody has touched anything.”

Adrian’s thoughts were actually very simple.

‘Chase is probably trying to look for something in here but hasn’t found it yet, which is why he dares not ruin anything. In

that case, there’s no need for me to search through this area since I’m sure he has already gone through it all. What I should

be focusing on is looking for places that he hasn’t gone through yet.”

“Where’s the study?” Adrian turned around and asked.
