Chapter 661
After a whole night of sleep, Adrian had breakfast and headed to the Battle Warrior headquarters in Swallowston.
As soon as Adrian arrived downstairs at the department, he saw Shirley anxiously waiting for him.
The moment Shirley saw Adrian approaching, she hurried over and said, “Adrian, you’re here! I’ve been waiting for you for so long.”
Shirley and her mother, Christina, had moved from Southeast to Swallowston and were temporarily staying at the department, courtesy of Adrian.
Last night, Shirley heard that Adrian had managed to apprehend Kayn, which was why she was waiting for Adrian this morning.
“What’s up?” Adrian asked her.
Shirley bit her lip and grabbed Adrian’s arm, saying, “I heard that you found Kayn. I’d like to see him. Is that okay? I mean, he’s my father, after all.”
Adrian took a moment to think before answering Shirley’s question. He shook his head and said, “I can’t let you see him yet.”
“Why not?” Shirley said, dissatisfied. “He’s my father. Why can’t I see him? Please, Adrian. Please let me see him for just a
while ”
Shirley had hardly met Kayn, but she had memories of him from when she was young. She could not forget the tact that be was her father, despite how many years it had been. Although there had been some unpleasant stuff that happened between him and Christina, it did not change the fact that she was his biological daughter.
Seeing her anxiousness, Adrian replied, “Fine, I’ll let you see him, but now’s not the time. I’ll let you have all the time you and your mother want with him after I’ve resolved some issues.”
“But—” Shirley tried to argue
“I promise you that you’ll see him, so I need you to be patient for a while,” Adrian said.
“Okay,” Shirley said with her head lowered as she pouted in disappointment.
Adrian reached out and stroked her hair, smiling. “I need you to be strong. There will be a lot of things happening soon that will blow your mind. I’m going to need you to face them bravely.”
Shirley remained upset and did not answer Adrian.
Meanwhile, Adrian said nothing more and entered the building, heading upstairs before sitting down in the lobby,
A staff member came over and poured a cup of tea, to which Adrian looked up and said, “Have Mya hring Charles here.”
“Yes, sir,”
Adrian waited for about five minutes before Mya brought Charles with her, escorted by a few people. The soldiers released Charles and Adrian gestured to him, saying, “Father Charles, have a seat.”
Charles sat down, nervous and unable to meet Adrian’s gaze.
Adrian had someone pour Charles a cup of tea and then said, “Relax, I’m not going to eat you. I heard you mentioning something that has to do with the strife Wyvern Peak has with Internal Affairs last night. You are a devout believer, so you’re not going to interfere in this, are you?”
Faced with Adrian’s question, Charles no longer displayed the same level of confidence he had last night and seemed extremely serious instead.
“I won’t,” Charles replied.
Adrian smiled and said, “In that case, let me ask you this Are you a two–faced person? Are you the kind of guy who preaches about peace but is secretly conspiring for the world to be thrown into dis?”
Charles panicked, raised his head, and looked at Adrian, saying, “Sir, Kayn is a good friend of mine and we both share the same dream. This is why I took him to the church as a refugee. I honestly have no idea what he has done.”
“What has he said to you?” Adrian asked.
