Chapter 618
Nadine looked at her mother and asked, “What else are you hiding from me? Am I really your daughter, for starters? Why won’t you tell me anything?”
Hearing this, Carlene knew Nadine was already aware of everything. She was already prepared for Nadine to find out the truth ever since Adrian showed up.
“Come and sit, Nadly. Let’s sleep together tonight. “Carlene smiled as she patted her bed.
Nadine walked over but knelt by the bedside and said, “I’m no longer a child, Mether. I’m thirty now. How planning on hiding the truth from me?

She then asked, “That corpse in the glass coffin at Grandfather’s villa… It’s Father, isn’t it? Don’t you think it’s just ridiculous for a daughter to wet herself from the shock of seeing her father’s corpse? After all, you know that happens to me whenever I get overly anxious….
“I thought this would all be over, but War Legate Draco has found out about it in the end… You see, Naddy, I sincerely wished for history not to repeal itself. Many people will die if it happens again,” Carlene replied
“History repeating itself? Many people will die? I only want to know if that corpse belongs to Father, and whether he was a legate of Wyvern Peak. Also, why would Grandfather’s corpse be at his study? Was he buried?”
Nadine asked a flurry of questions, to which Carlene merely replied, “Yes!”
“What?”
Nadine was dumbfounded. “He really is my father? Are you crazy, Mother? Father’s corpse is just nearby, yet you’re…”
Carlene interjected, “Your Uncle Chase is the one behind all this.”
“Uncle Chase?”
Carlene merely nodded in response.
“Why would he do such a thing? Why would he leave his own brother’s corpse at home instead of burying it?”
Carlene heaved a long sigh before replying. “He’s looking for something, which is why he has retained all possible leads, including your father’s and grandfather’s corpses.”
“Is he looking for that book?” That Heroes of Wyvern Peak that got sold at the auction?” Nadine asked.
“No, he already memorized its contents a long time ago. He’s looking for something else.”
“What is it?”
Carlene said nothing and got out of bed After that, she opened up a safe and took out a medallion with a soaring dragon engraved on IL
“This.”
“What’s that?
“It’s the Dragon Medallion,” Carlene replied.
“The Dragon Medallion?”
Carlene explained, “Your father formed a salasidiary of Wyvern Peak called Dragon Peak. Dragon Peak is completely different from Wyvern Peak, housing a million soldiers at the moment, and is a much time secretive organization. The moment this medallion is brought to the light, its holder will be able to summon all of Dragon Peal’s soldiers to be at their beck and call”
“What? I never knew such a thing existed. Where are these people now?” Nadine asked in shock.
“Their soldiers are scattered all over the world, including the outlands. Right now, Dragon Peak’s still expanding its territory, but anyone who wishes to command them must possess this medallion. Aside from that, they need to be someone whom your father aceiowledged.”

“Then how does Uncle Chase fit in all this?” Nadine was dumbfounded.
“He’s trying to destroy the medallion because he’s afraid it might come into the legate of Wyvern Peak’s possession. This is why he’s been searching for the medallion this whole time, but your father asked someone to deliver it to me before he died.
“He also left me a message. That I should hand the medallion over to Draco should he become the legate of Wyvern Peak in the future. Otherwise, I am to destroy it myself.”
“But why would Father want you to hand it to Adrian?” Nadine asked.
“That’s because of a certain prophecy. One that predicts Draco will become the next legate of Wyvern Peak. If this prophecy turns out to be true, the Dragon Medallion will be brought into the world. According to the prophecy, he will mobilize the soldiers of Dragon Peak to fight both Internal Affairs and the outlands.
“However, if the prophecy doesn’t come true, then the past will ever happen.”
Nadine took a deep breath. “How did Father die?”
Carlene replied, “Chase leaked your father’s whereabouts to the outlands, and he ended up being ambushed and assassinated. Chase is a member of Internal Affairs who’s trying to rule over Novemton, but he needed to eliminate your father in order to do so.”
