Chuck said, “You look completely different from seven years ago. You used to look so weak that I could send you flying with a single punch. But now, you’re so much stronger!”
Adrian replied, “You’ve lost a lot of weight.”
Chuck choked up and was lost for words for a moment.
“Just focus on getting better. We’ll go for a drink when you’re back on your feet. For now, I want you to think about nothing except rest.”
Chuck wiped his tears. “I heard the whole story I’m only alive because you donated your blood to me. Thank you, my friend… Thank you for still remembering me despite how long it’s been since we last met.”
Adrian patted Chuck on the shoulder with a smile. “Enough with the comy stuff. I should be thanking you for the good memories. I’m here now, Chubbs, so you have nothing to be afraid of.”

Chuck trembled the moment he heard this. He had been living in fear for so many years, suffering every single minute, to the seconds. He never once thought that he would be able to leave Prison 14, the place that was literally Hell to him.
He never got a full meal and would get beaten up, insulted, and tortured every day. Worse of all, he could not even kill himself He had even begun to forget what the world outside looked like. But when he woke up this time, he found Rue by his side and his entire surroundings had changed.
Chuck cried as he said, “I’ve gone through so, so many things… I’ve lived no better than an animal over the past few years. To tell you the truth, I don’t want you to look at me in this state, Adrian. I’m afraid you might laugh at me.”
“Am I laughing at you now?” Adrian asked in return.
“All of us carry karma. The good will receive good in return while the evil will eventually suffer the consequences.
“Tell me, Chubbs. What happened to you?”
Chuck suddenly started crying, severely panic–stricken. Rue tried to console him, saying, “Why are you crying, my dear boy? You’re extremely weak right now so you should do your best to stay positive.
“Adrian, why don’t you hold off the questions until he’s feeling better?” Rue urged.
Adrian nodded but Chuck suddenly stepped in and said, “There are some things I really want to say, but I can’t… I can’t drag you into my mess, Adrian. You mustn’t get yourself involved in this.”
Chuck chose to take the culprit’s identity to the grave with him. Yet, Adrian said, “I came here to seek justice on your behalf so why can’t you tell me who did this to you?”
“He’s too high up in the food chain, plus he’s really powerful. You won’t be able to defeat him. I may have escaped prison but it’s only a matter of time before he arrests me and sends me back there, or even kills me,” Chuck replied.
“Who is this person?”
“The governor of Swallowston.”
“I knew it.” Adrian narrowed his eyes. He had his suspicions before but he had not expected them to be true.
“Just leave me here, Adrian. There’s nothing you can do to help me. Plus, you’d only end up offending him. We can’t defeat
governor. He has both money and power. How could you possibly topple him?
Adrian smiled when he heard this. “Do you know who I am, Chubbs?”
Chuck smiled. “You’re Adrian, aren’t you? Who else could you be? Perhaps you might have had a shot at helping me if your father were alive, but now
Before Chuck finished his sentence, Adrian took out a medallion from his pocket and held it up to him. “Take a look at this.”
Chuck’s gaze was glued to the medallion, which had the words “War Legate Draco inscribed on it. His eyes instantly widened,

seeming dumbfounded as he said, “Adrian, y–you. You’re the legate?”
Adrian put away his medallion and replied, “I’ve already blown Prison 14 to pieces and killed everyone inside, including Paul Gaul. The person who should be terribed right now’s the governor, Chubbs. Not you. You’re now under the protection of War Legate Draco and all of Wyvern Peak Remember that
“All I have to do is say the word and millions of soldiers from Wyvern Peak will level all of Internal Affairs and destroy this whole city.”
