The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 652

Coke?

Adrian was stunned. He looked at Shirley in puzzlement. “What’s a coke?”

“It’s cola!”

“What’s a cola?” Adrian was still puzzled.

“Turbo. It’s Coca-cola.” Shirley felt speechless. “You’re War Legate Drace, yet you don’t know what coke is?”

Adrian was well-versed in astronomy, geography, and history and was even skilled in various trades and mystiques. Yet, he did not know what coke was.

Adrian ignored Shirley. However, the girl tirelessly brought up topic after topic, pushing him to frustration. He came to realize that Shirley was more bothersome than Nadine.

Nadine was just slightly more spontaneous and not as talkative Shirley, on the other, was just talkative.

While being bombarded by Shirley’s questions, Adrian found for the first time in his life that time could pass so slowly.

Meanwhile, Shirley giggled and said, “Sir, I have a few best friends who admire you very, very much. Lalso have a best friend. who has a photo of you in your battle suit hanging in her room. Her imagination runs wild every night before she sleeps.”

Adrian ignored her while Shirley chattered endlessly.

After some time, the sound of footsteps was heard coming from downstairs. Then, more than twenty Wyvern Peak soldiers walked upstairs with Christina.

“Shirley! Christina called out as soon she entered the house.

“Mother!” Shirley said in pleasant surprise as she turned her head. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Christine was relieved to find Shirley unharmed.

Meanwhile, a young man made his way to Adrian and said, “Sir, I killed that man from Internal Affairs and the whole city is searching for Kayn. It seems like Chase is rushing this.”

The young man, Blade, was the captain of Wyvern Peak’s Steelblade Troop, and his family home was in Southeast. He had returned to his hometown but was called out by Mya to help with the emergency.

Adrian got up from the sofa and said to Blade, “Does any of our troops come from Windton?”

Blade said, “Yes. The data from Wyvern Peak shows that we have four thousand and two hundred people from Windton and they’ve all returned to their homes recently. Why are you bringing this up?”

“Tell them to look up information related to the ten Juuses in Windton for me.”

“Right away, str,” answered Blade.

Adrian walked toward Christina and Shirley and said, “Mrs. Christina, Southeast is no longer safe for you and your daughter. You should pack up and come back to Swallowston for the time being”

Christina sald anxiously. “What’s happening, Adrian? Why is Internal Affairs trying to capture Kayu?”

Adrian said, “It’s regarding the matter I discussed with you previously and it’s hard to explain. Nevertheless, you have to telocate now.”

Christina nodded and said, “Olcay, I understand. Oh, Adrian, thank you so much to all of you. If not for you guys, there’s not telling how my daughter and I would’ve ended up.”

“No need for thanks, Mrs. Christina. We were just performing our duty,” said Adrian.

“Stop calling me Mrs. Christina, Adrian That makes me sound old. I’m only forty. You can address me simply as Christina. That sounds better anyway,” Christina said.

Adrian’s eyes went wide.

Shirley said, “Mother, if he addresses you as ‘Christina, don’t I have to address him as “Uncle Adrian’ then?”

Christina was about to speak when Adrian said, “All right, let’s not talk about unimportant stuff. You should pack quickly and leave with me.”

Christina and Shirley stopped speaking and went to their rooms to pack Adrian waited for them. When they were done packing, they left Southeast together.
