Chapter 623
Everyone turned around to see Rue rushing out of the living room and dashing toward Juno.
Juno silently looked at Rue.
“I know I can’t stop you, nor will I try to anymore. If you must go, I want you to go with your head held high. You don’t have to feel guilty about anything, nor should you feel any pressure.
“I won’t interfere since you’ve already made your decision, but all I ask is that you stay safe. Can you do that?” Rue asked.
Juno nodded in acknowledgment. “I’ll make sure to be safe. I still have to take care of you when you grow old, you know? You took me under your wing, so you’re also my real mother forever. I will never leave you.”
Rue embraced Juno tightly as she said, “Go chase your dreams! Remember to call home often!”
“You take care of yourself too. I’ll be off now.
“Mother, Big Brother, Sam, Jojo… Thank you for being there for me after my mother died. I love you all”
Juno bowed upon saying this, then turned around and got into Daniel’s car as she shed a tear.
The other soldiers from Wyvern Peak got into their own respective vehicles too. Daniel then said, “Don’t worry, sir. I’ll make sure she’s well taken care of at Azure Creek and will let you all know if anything happens.”
“I’ll be leaving my little sister in your care, General Daniel.”
“Farewell!” Daniel smiled and got into his jeep.
After that, all of the jeeps disappeared into the distance.
Rue wiped her tears and said, “I hope she succeeds.”
Meanwhile, Adrian kept his head lowered in silence. He then picked up his phone and gave Mya a phone call.
“Have all of Wyvern Peak’s soldiers in Southrive gather at our headquarters. We’ll be retrieving War Legate Achelous‘ corpse in three hours.”
“Yes, sir,” Mya replied.
Almost instantaneously, an order was given out.
“The legate has ordered all units in Southrive to gather at headquarters!”
“Gather up!”
At that moment, the alarms of war were set off, and all of the retired soldiers in Southrive put on their battle suits once more before rushing toward headquarters as quickly as they could. One command was all it took for them all to assemble. Despite being dissolved, War Legate Draco was still capable of commanding millions of men at will.
After giving out his order, Adrian took Samantha’s car keys and got into the car.
Sering this, Samantha asked, “Where are you going, dear?”
“Achelous was a legate of Wyvern Peak with extraordinary strength. I’m going to go retrieve his body and bury him at Wyvern Peak’s Heroes Cemetery so that he may rest in peace.”
Samantha sucked in a breath of cold air. “Are you saying you’re going to go head–to–head with Internal Affairs? Chase will never agree to this otherwise.”
She had heard of the Gardners before, which was why she was nervous about Adrian’s intentions.
“The Gardners are just a family at the end of the day, which isn’t something Internal Affairs have jurisdiction over. Chase wouldn’t dare claim he’s acting on behalf of Internal Affairs even if he wants to stop me. This is something only I can do now.”

“Then please be careful,” Samantha said.
Adrian nodded and drove off, while the three women watched in silence.
It was not until Adrian’s car vanished from sight that Rue said, “If Henry were still alive, I’m sure he’d be fully supportive of Adrian’s actions. He’d be so proud of his son that he’d go around telling everyone just how wonderful his son is.
“If only he were still alive to see this.”
