Chapter 588
In the next moment, Nadine shifted her astounded gaze to Adrian.
War Legate Draco’s real name was Adrian Xander, and many of the people buried in this cemetery had the name ‘Adrian Xander‘ as well.
It was as if there was some sort of pattern–a huge scheme hidden within.
Nadine was in complete shock at this very menent. She suddenly found that everything was not as simple as she had imagined them to be. She said in a daze, “Your name is Adrian Xander? What’s up with all this then? Why do so many of the deceased here share the same first and last names as you?
This was no coincidence.
Adrian smiled and took a seat on the ground outside the cemetery. Nadine stood by his side and lowered her head to look at
him.
He said, “All the Adrians here were not lalled on the same day or even the same year. After roughly over twenty years, so many people who shared the same name as me are now dead.”
“Why is that?” asked Nadine in confusion.
Adrian raised his head and looked at her. “Do you still not get it? Someone is trying to kill me but they don’t know who I really am. Hence, they killed everyone bearing the name Adrian Xander. Speaking of which, I believe I’m the one that they missed.”
“What…” Nadine took a few steps back in astonishment.
If what Adrian said was true, the whole situation was clear as day. There was a truth behind this that was undeniable at the very least, and that was someone orchestrating this in secret.
Nadine inhaled a deep breath and squatted next to Adrian. She asked, “But I still don’t understand why these people are trying to kill you. Based on what you said, you weren’t the legate a few years ago. Why were they trying to eliminate you when you weren’t even the legate yet?
“Why?”
Adrian chuckled. He thought for a long time before he answered, “I’ve been thinking about the reason behind the killing of so many people who shared the same name as me for two years now but I have yet to come up with an answer. However, I think I have it now but I don’t have the evidence to prove who’s orchestrating this in secret yet.”
Nadine looked at Adrian quietly and asked, “What’s the answer?
Adrian looked at Nadine and they met each other’s eyes. He said, “The answer is that the enemy has an item that can be used to predict the future. The Hem could come in the form of a book that they trust very much or something else along these lines.
The names of the future war legates of Wyvern Peak are recorded in this item like prophecies. They know the name of the next generation’s war legate so they kill everyone with the same name in advance to prevent the prophecy from being fulfilled.
“However, they have no idea who exactly the person is. Hence, they chose to kill everyone by the same name to prevent missing out on even one person. As a result, there are large batches of Wyvern Peak’s people by the same name who had been assassinated.”
Nadine was instantly enlightened. At this very moment, she understood what Adrian was trying to say.
She covered her mouth and said in astonishment, “So you’re saying the people behind this trust this item that’s in their possession? They killed all the people who shares the name of the next predicted legate because they wanted to get rid of Wyvern Peak?”
Adrian nodded. “Even though we’re uncertain if the predictions of this item are accurate, judging by the current situation, its prediction came true for me.
“The person named ‘Are Dark‘ that I told you about earlier. He was an outstanding soldier and the most qualified person to pass Wyvern Peak’s test, but he was killed before he could take it. Hence, the itern In these people’s possession isn’t fully

accurate in its predictions but it has an accuracy of twenty percent at the very least. This is my speculation.”
