The Return of the War Legate by Celestial Clouds

Chapter 5

Adrian hung up and sat down to wait.

After Devin heard what Adrian said, he chuckled. He knew that Daniel was a big shot in Swallowston and that he was the general who worked under the legate. That meant that if he stomped his feet, the city would shake.

Devin thought that Adrian was just pretending to call Daniel. It was probably a fake number.

“Hahaha! Henry was a genius. Too bad his son isn’t.” Devin continued to laugh.

He knew very well what happened to the Xanders since he was a local of Swallowston.

Devin said, “Sure, I’ll wait with you. I’d like to see if you can really bring Daniel Summers here.”

He then sat down on the couch, lit another cigarette, and crossed his legs.

Adrian ignored him and closed his eyes to rest.

Within ten minutes, just as Devin was arrogantly enjoying his cigarette, the door of the office was kicked open again and Daniel, who was in uniform, walked in. Devin was shocked.

Behind Daniel was the richest man in Swallowston, Damien Holland, owner of the biggest bank in Swallowston, and some of the most affluent men in the city. There were more than a dozen people.

“Get on your knees!” Daniel commanded and Devin fell to his knees in fright as his body shook.

Daniel was the right-hand man to the strongest warrior. Swallowston was under the state of Dragonshire, and Dragonshire’s battle warrior was Lucas Jenner. Lucas was the protector of Swallowston.

What did Devin do to offend such an important person? His face fell as he looked up with fear in his eyes.

Daniel walked over to Adrian and said, “What are your orders, Legate?”

“What? Legate?”

No way.
