The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 669

Kayn lowered his head and said nothing.

Christina was so angry that she wanted to go up and slap him. However, Adrian stepped in and said, “Stand back, Christina. I still have some questions for him.”

After Christina stepped back as she was told, Adrian continued, “That time more than a decade ago when you first saw me at St. Elmer’s Church… Why did you tell my father what you said?”

Kayn recalled and shook his head. “I was researching the book from behind the scenes and you just so happen to come up during my investigations. Everything I said to your father at the time was based on the prophery, but I never thought it’d be referring to you.”

“Did you intentionally try to meet me a few days ago?” Adrian asked.

“You could say that. I was broke and went to Charles‘ church to seek help. I unexpectedly met you there again. That’s when I thought I’d try to show off a little. I wasn’t expecting for you to be so cautious that you’d start investigating me because of the things I said.” Kayn said helplessly.

“Do you remember the contents of the book?” Adrian asked.

Kayn raised his head and smiled at Adrian, “You want to know what the contents are? It’s all in my head, but are you going to kill me once I’ve given them to you?

“It’s exactly because of this that I’m choosing not to tell you a word of it.”

“You’re still trying to negotiate, Father? Don’t you realize you’ve indirectly put everyone in Navia in danger because of your silly vengeance for your lover?!” Shirley said angrily.

Kayn replied, “Please forgive me for this, Shirley. I have no choice. He’ll kill me in a heartbeat the moment I tell him the book’s contents, which is why I’m not going to say anything ”

“What makes you think he won’t lall you if you don’t say anything?!” Christina turlausly asked.

“I dare not guarantee he wouldn’t kill me if I keep my mouth shut. However, I know for a fact he’ll kill me once I’ve told him what he wants to know since he wouldn’t have any use for me at that point.”

At that point, Adrian smiled and said, “I don’t think you understood me earlier, Chase’s father has already made a copy of the book, and it’s currently in my possession.”

“You’re bluffing. If he did indeed make a copy of the book, it’d be in Chase’s hands a long time ago. It’s true that Chase would’ve memorized its contents, but he’s not going to tell you a word of it. So, I’m the only one besides him who knows. what the book says, aside from the outlanders. Everyone else involved is now dead,” Kayn stated bluntly.

Adrian narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.

Meanwhile, Kayn continued, “Chase is also looking to arrest me right now, so only death awaits me should I fall into his hands. However, if you protect me, I could tell you a portion of the book’s contents every day until I die. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you everything before I die of a natural death.”

Adrian blew away the hot steam from his cup of tea when he heard this.

“Let me tell you a story. Three years ago, during the battle at the outlands, a Luposlan general tried to negotiate with me, just like what you’re doing right now. I got so angry because of his attitude that I lalled him on the spot.

“Moral of the story? You’ll never get your way with me using threats,” Adrian said with a smile.

However, Kayn smiled and said, “That’s because none of them had enough leverage to negotiate with you, but I do. I know you desperately want to know the book’s contents, and I can share a piece with you right now.”

Still smiling, Kayn continued, “Hannibal wrote that Samantha would give birth to a boy, Neo. However, Neo will never see his father even once. Eighteen years after he’s horn, he’ll become the first Draking to ever exist la Navia. ”

“Nobody in their right mind would believe such a prophery. They’re all nothing more than fake statements with no scientific explanation!” Mya yelled. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“But it has already come true for War Legate Draco, hasn’t it? Or are you trying to say that this coincidence isn’t big enough?

“Also, think about it, sir. Are you planning to name the child in Samantha’s belly Neo? If you are, then I’ve just proven that the prophecy is indeed coming true.”

Kayn smiled because he could tell from Adrian’s gaze that he was right.

After that, to emphasize his importance, Kayn said, “Juno will take control of Wyvern Peak from you. However, Wyvern Peak will no longer be called as such in a few years‘ time. Instead, Juno will change its name to Purgatorium. On top of that, neither you, Juno nor your wife are getting a happy ending.”
