Nadine had no idea where Adrian was taking her. She tried to ask, but he gave no reply


After driving into the mountain forest, Nadine could not hold back anymore. She said to Adrian with a frown, ” I’m about to wet myself.”

car.


Adrian instantly stopped the car. Nadine turned her head and looked at the surroundings. “Not a single toilet is to be found in this desolated mountain. Where am I supposed to do my business?”


“There’s no one in the forest so no one will see you if you go in the bush,” Adrian said.


“Are you even human?” Nadine asked.


“You may consider me as not human. Go, but keep an eye out. There are poisonous snakes here.”


“Where the heck are we?


“Mount Syrax.”


“Why did you take me here?”


“Are you going or not? We’re leaving if you’re not.”


Nadine swiftly dove behind a bush and her eyes darted about out of fear of finding animals or insects underneath her. She freaked out for nothing


She returned to the car and said to Adrian, “Weren’t you worried that I’d run away, sir? You seem pretty at ease to let me wander around alone.”


“You’re not going anywhere,” Adrian stated confidently.


“Why’s that?” Nadine asked, confused.


our own. You


Adrian chuckled and turned down a small forest path. “That’s because you won’t make it out of Mount Syrax on your might even end up becoming an animal’s dung.”


“You should stop talking.” Nadine could already feel a shiver down her spline.


Ten minutes later, Adrian pulled over at last.


They had stopped by a flat expanse of land hallway up the mountain. Acres upon acres of the surroundings had been planted with flower shrubs. Thousands of flowers bloomed and surrounded a normal–sized cemetery located in the center of the


meadow.


Nadine’s jaw dropped when she saw the lush man–made garden on the mountain. There was a small bridge over a nearby flowing stream. Coupled with the blooming flowers, the landscape was breathtaking.


On the other hand, there were tombstones in the cemetery surrounded by this wide span of flowers, appearing very mysterious


“Wh–What is this place?”


Nadine’s attention was drawn to the view before her and was completely stunned. Adrian patted her shoulder and walked through the flower shrubs toward the cemetery


In the end, Adrian stopped at the fringes of the lot. Nadine followed him and gazed into the horizon. There were tens of thousands of tombstones and a story was carved into each of them.


“What is this place, sir?” Nadine asked in astonishment as she turned her head toward lin


Adrian glanced at Nadine and said, “The deceased buried here are all soldiers of Wyvern Peak, and there are groups of them that share the same name. For example, there are more than two hundred people by the name of ‘Ace Dark‘ here.”

“Wh–What do you mean? Are they Wyvern Peak’s soldiers who shared the same name? How could it be that they’re all dead and buried here?” Nadine asked in astonishment.


Adrian turned around and looked at Nadine. “It’s not a coincidence. Every deceased person here went through Wyvern Peak’s training and was determined to become its next leader. However, they all died.


“Have you noticed the pattern yet?”


Nadine shook her head to express her confusion.


Adrian pointed at the cemetery. “There are more than ten thousand people buried here and they have the same name. They died at different times and at different ages. This shows the people who killed them have a hit list.


“For example, there’s a person by the name of “Ace Dark” on their hit list, and the killers were unsure of who the actual person is so they killed everyone in Wyvem Peak by the name of “Ace Dark‘


“Do you understand what I’m saying?” Adrian asked.


Nadine’s jaw dropped and she came to understand what Adrian meant.


She was about to reply when Adrian said, “I counted the tombstones here and found that there are two hundred and thirty- two people by the name of “Adrian Xander. On the other hand, my name is Adrian Xander.”


Nadine’s entire body shook and she was shocked upon hearing this.
