The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 708

Samantha put down her book and looked at Adrian. “I just got up. By the way, what’s the story with those women? Did you manage to find anything?”

Adrian hummed in acknowledgment and got onto the bed. He then stroked Samantha’s belly and said, “I suppose you could say that.”

Samantha’s interest was piqued. “Well, go on. What’s the story?”

Adrian told Samantha what he had found. After hearing all of it, she seemed shocked as she said, “I didn’t know this Eternity woman even existed. Who is she? Do you think she’s an even bigger threat than Chase?”

“I’m not sure,” Adrian replied honestly.

“Do you think you can handle her?” Samantha asked with a concerned expression.

“She’s human with a head and limbs, just like the rest of us. Never think that you’re weaker than others. We all have a brain, and it’s up to us how we choose to use it.” Adrian pointed at Samantha’s head.

“Get lost. Are you trying to imply that I’m stupid?” Samantha rolled her eyes and continued, “They say women become a little dumb when they’re pregnant, you know?”

Adrian smiled and replied, “Looks like that’s true, seeing how someone buttoned up her pajamas the wrong way?”

Samantha looked down and realized she had indeed buttoned up her pajamas wrongly. She instantly shot Adrian a glace and said, “Fine, you win, you jerk. By the way, Nadine and Sarah said they’re going shopping tomorrow. Jojo will be going too, so can I go?”

“Sure.”

“Isn’t it kind of dangerous to go out right now?” Samantha asked.

“Don’t worry, someone will be following you the whole time. It’s getting late, so let’s get some sleep.”

Samantha, Joanna, Nadine, and Sarah went out shopping the next day, while Adrian just lounged at home.

It was not until the afternoon that Mya called, saying that Ivy wanted to see him.

Thus, Adrian headed to Battle Warrior Tower, where more than twenty women were sitting in the lobby. They sat all over the place, some were even sitting on the table with their legs crossed and cold expressions on their faces.

The moment Adrian walked in, all twenty of them coldly stared at him, leaving him flabbergasted.

“Go on. Why have you all called me here?” Adrian asked, ignoring their furious gazes. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Ivy walked over and looked at him. “I discussed it with my sisters yesterday. We agree to work for you but on one condition.”

“Tell me what it is then.”

“You will take us with you to Bloody Rose so that we can save the rest of our sisters.”

Adrian looked straight at Ivy and calmly said, “Sure, but I have a condition of my own.”

“What would that be?”

“Since you’ve chosen to work for me, you must listen to my orders to the tee. Do that and you’ll all be my people from now on. All your lives will be my responsibility.”

Ivy gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

“Am I in the position to refuse?” Ivy asked with her teeth clenched.

‘Of course. I won’t force you to do anything.”

Ivy took a deep breath before reaching out her hand. “Deal. However, I’d like to put this out there. We will only do what we think is right, so if your orders go against our principles, we won’t comply.”

Adrian and Ivy then shook hands.

After that, he said, “All right, from this day forth, you’re all part of my family and Battle Warrior Tower is your home. Now, I order you to go choose your own rooms and do whatever it is you’d like to do. We’ll meet back here in an hour.” “Can’t believe we’re taking orders from him,” mumbled a few women before they dispersed from the lobby.
