Adrian hung up the phone and took a shower before retiring to his room.
Adaline was the previous occupant of this but it was now his.
He had only laid on the bed for a few short minutes before his phone rang again.
The call came from Gorgonshire’s Battle Warrior Skylar.
“Sir.” Adrian heard Skylar’s voice as soon as he picked up the phone.
Navia was guarded by nine battle warriors. Skylar managed the Northrive zone and he shared a reputation as celebrated as Battle Warrior Lucas.
Adrian had trained Skylar singlehandedly too.
Adrian said, “Have you looked into the matter that I tasked you with?”
Skylar said, “I sent someone to pay a visit to Northrive’s Hart family earlier to inquire about them. You’re right, they had an heiress who married a Xander and moved to Southrive.
“That man is your grandfather, Harold Xander.”
It was just as Adrian had speculated. His grandmother, Layla, originated from a rather influential family
Indeed.
Adrian asked, “What was the name she went by when she was still part of the Hart family?”
Skylar said, “Her name was Juliet. The Harts disowned her because they forbade her from marrying Harold at the time. Afterward, Juliet changed her name to Layla before she got married.
“Juliet was the most beautiful woman in Northrive at the time. Moreover, she was extremely talented and had a talent for learning. She was the most outstanding person in the Hart family at the time.
“It’s a waste that she passed away so young
Adrian fell silent.
He had very few memories of his grandmother. All he remembered was his grandmother holding him in her arms and asking him if he would like something to eat when he was about seven or eight years old.
He said that he wanted to have the pasta cooked by her
She then obliged and made him a serving of pasta.
The next day when Adrian woke up, his father told him that his grandmother had passed away. Adrian was confused because he was just a kid then.
He had no idea what “passed away” meant.
He had only come to realize that his grandmother was gone for eternity when he saw her being lowered into the coffin.
Afterward, Adrian asked about the cause of her death.
Henry’s answer was simple. He told Adrian that his grandmother passed away from an incurable disease.
That was all that Adrian remembered about his grandmother.
He knew that his grandmother doted on him very much when he was young. She was not partial to anyone and extended the same treatment to everyone including Riley, Cedric, Jacob, and him.

On the other hand, he wondered if any one of his grandmother’s grandchildren still remembered her.
“Sir, are you with me?” Skylar’s voice was heard coming from the other end of the line.
Adrian inhaled a deep breath.
Then, he said, “Noted. You don’t need to look into this matter anymore. Don’t visit the Harts either.”
Skylar said, “Yes, sir. You should stay vigilant, sir. I noticed that the Luposians on my side have been behaving strangely as well. It’s possible that they will enter Southrive in a way that can’t be stopped.
*Lucas is currently in danger because the Luposians are aiming to kill him.”
Daniel had mentioned this to Adrian before
He said, “Daniel has already informed me. You should stay in touch with the battle warriors from other states at all times. If there are any huge movements, wait for my order and we shall strike Luposia at
once.
“If they were to cause another war, we’ll annihilate them once and for all.”
“Yes, sir.”
Upon saying that, Adrian hung up Skylar’s call.
However, Adrian did not know that Samantha was leaning against the door, eavesdropping on him, from outside his room.
She could not hear the voice on the call but she heard Adrian mentioning Daniel’s name.
Adrian mentioned the words-battle warriors of other states, Luposia, wait for my orders, and annihilate.
