Their screams of agony erhord throughout the hospital.


Their blood and tears mixed together, dripping onto the floor as despair and helplessness filled their minds, Neither of the Cooks ever expected to end up in such a state, especially after how invincible they thought they were over the years.


Reiss and Rue were too scared to even watch, while something seemed to have triggered within Chuck’s heart. He recalled how the father and son had treated him worse than an animal. They beat him up whenever they wanted, constantly threatened to end his life, and even pulled strings from behind the scenes to get him thrown into Prison 14


He never thought he would live to see the day Wallace and Cormac would face even greater despair than he did.


“Sir, please… Please spare me! I’m sorry, sir. I was wrong… I’m a member of Internal Affairs. You can’t do this to me!” Wallace yelled as fresh wounds continued to be inflicted on him. He was in such immense pain that he had broken down


entirely.


In truth, Wallace was a huge coward and was thinking only of his survival at that moment.


Meanwhile, Cormac was in much greater pain as he watched his blood drip onto the floor. Even the urine that soaked his pants was dripping, mixing together with the blood.


But despite their cries of agony, Adrian remained completely unaffected. He felt not an ounce of sympathy for them.


Watching them break down, he said, “1 love the look on your face, Wallace. I can just Imagine how powerful and excited you must’ve felt when you tortured my best friend. Now, I’m going to convert all those emotions into despair and fear!


“This, Wallace, is power.”


Adrian smiled at that point, causing Wallace’s scalp to tingle. “This is power” was a phrase he had said to Chuck before, and now, much to his surprise, it was being thrown back at him. No matter how much regret Wallace felt at that moment, it was all too late for him to make amends.


…..


‘Is there even a point in regretting what I did now? Everything I did to Chuck is now being inflicted back on me…”


Wallace was rendered speechless upon hearing Adrian’s words, realizing that both he and Cormac had no other choice but to embrace death.


Ten minutes may seem like a very short time, but it felt like an eternity to the father and son. At the end of it, they were both exhausted. All the pain they felt was the greatest torture and suffering they had ever been through.


It was not until they had lost too much blood and their consciousness was fading that Adrian gave another order. “End them.”


“Yes, sir.”


Wallace and Cormar instantly woke up from their drowsiness the moment they beard this.


Wallace yelled, “No… P–Please Don’t kill me!”


“Please, sir! Please spare me! I don’t want to die!”


Adrian’s lips curled into a sneer as he looked at Wallace and said, “Your entire family will be investigated after your death. Any one of them with a criminal record will be arrested. It’ll only be a matter of time before the Cooks disappear from this world.”


Although this was the first time Wallace was going up against War Legale Draco, he had come to learn just how cruel and brutal the latter was. ‘He’s a monster… A monster!!


Wallace yelled, “I’ll come back to haunt you after I’m dead, you b*stard!”


Adrian merely smiled, “Fine. In that case, I’ll have you enjoy yourself a while longer before you die. You there, have Wallace brought to Chuck’s mother’s grave!”


“Nooo!” Wallace yelled to the top of his langs from despair. He never thought that Adrian would be capable of such a cruel act or utter such harsh words.

“I’ve made a mistake! 1 never thought he’d be this land of person! I’ve underestimated him!”


At that thought, Wallace fell into deeper despair, realizing there was no way a man who was able to climb all the way to the top of Wyvem Peak would be someone he could offend.


“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” Realizing his mistake, Wallace cried, “I’m sorry, sir! Please just shoot me and end this, please!”


Wallace was looking for an easy way out now that he understood there was no way he would be able to get out of this mess alive. After all, how else would the situation end now that his son was already


dead?


At that moment, all Wallace wanted was to be granted a swift death, but that was not what Adrian had in store for him.


With a wicked smile on his face, Adrian calmly said, “It’s too late for you to get the easy way out. Take him away.”


Mya waved her hand and a few men grabbed Wallace before dragging him outside.


“War Legate Draco!


sir, please!”


Wallace continued to struggle as he was dragged out. Yet, no one showed him any sympathy, regardless of how much he yelled.


Wallace and his son were soon going to be sacrificed to console the soul of Chuck’s late mother.


After they were taken away, Adrian said, “Arrest everyone in the Cook family and investigate them. Any one of them found. with a criminal record is to be killed on the spot ”


“Yes, sir,” Mya answered before leaving.


The ward was now a lot emptier. Rue was trying to recover from the shock Adrian had caused her while Reiss stood by Chuck’s bed, her eyes filled with fear.


“It’s just as Wallace said–Adrian’s a monster! He’s so cruel in his method and lacks any show of mercy. Nobody would possibly dare to offend him knowingly!‘


At that moment, Reiss finally understood just what kind of person Adrian was. He was a bloodthirsty, cold–blooded murderer.


Even Rue never expected that there was such a side to her son but when she calmed down and thought deeper, she realized that he would not have become a vital pillar of support to this country if he did not have such a strict hand. Plus, how would he be deserving of his title if he were to show mercy so easily?


His ruthlessness was only aimed toward his enemies and was, on the flip side, extremely gentle with the people close to him.


“Are you able to rest easy knowing that they’re both dead now?” Adrian suddenly turned around and looked at Chuck


Chuck felt a wave of emotion surge through his heart -an immense joy knowing that Wallace and Cormac were hoth dead men. He never thought that the best friend he had not met in so long, would become a completely different person.


“Thank you, Adrian.”


Adrian nodded. “Again, I want you to focus on your recovery. My mother will help take care of you. I have to go now. There are other things I need to look into.”


Adrian did indeed have other things to do, so he could not stay.


“All right,” Chuck replied.


Thus, Adrian turned around and left the ward. However, right after he exited the hospital, Reiss caught up to him and asked, ” Don’t you feel like a monster, Adrian? After all that blood you just shed?”
