Chapter 630
“Father!”
“Father!”
Nadine’s aunts wailed.
Outside the villa, Adrian and Mya stood in the courtyard, silently listening to the voices coming from within the villa.
Mya was clearly shocked as she said, “I’m surprised that the heroic War Legate Achelous wasn’t given a proper burial after his valiant sacrifices.”
Adrian remained silent, while Mya turned around to wipe her tears.
Approximately ten minutes later, Lennon walked out of the living room, his body trembling vigorously. He led the younger Gardners, whose eyes were also reddened, and stood before Adrian.
“What’s going on here, War Legate Draco? Why were my brother’s and father’s corpses left inside the villa?”
“I’m investigating this matter personally right now, but I don’t have a clear answer for you yet. What I do know is that Chase seems to be looking for something but hasn’t succeeded yet. Moreover, the thing he’s looking for might be around this area, and he was afraid that it might end up being buried with them, hence the corpses.”
“What is he looking for?” Lennon asked with his fists clenched.
“I don’t know, but whatever it is, it’s no doubt very important to him.”
“Damn b*stard! I’m going to kill him!” Lennon yelled.
Never did he once think that the brother he respected so much would do something so stupid.
Noticing that Lennon was on the verge of going berserk, Adrian said, “Lennon, there’s no point in you getting mad over this right now. You won’t be able to do anything to Chase in your current situation. Instead, you should focus on taking care of your family. Who’s in charge of the Gardners right now?”
“My brother is the chief secretary of Internal Affairs and hasn’t been back home much. I’m the one leading our family, so it’s only natural they’ll listen to me.”
“Excellent. In that case, your family and I are on the same side, correct?”
“What should I do now, War Legate Draco? I wouldn’t have known any of this until the day I die if you hadn’t told me. I implore you. Please give the your orders.”
“What you should focus on now is protecting your family from being harmed by Chase. I’ll deal with the rest. I’ll make sure I do a proper job of this since it is related to War Legate Achelous.”
“What are your plans?” Lennon asked. “I must kill that b*stard with my own hands to avenge my brother and father!”
“You should focus on fulfilling your duties,” Adrian replied.
After that, he gestured to someone and said, “Retrieve War Legate Achelous‘ corpse and bury him at Heroes Cemetery in the northern region. However, the Gardners won’t be allowed to follow to the cemetery due to circumstances.
“Remember what I said, Mr. Lennon. Focus on what you should be doing and don’t do anything rash.”
Mya then waved her hands, followed by more than twenty men entering the living room. After praying in silence for a few minutes, they carried the glass coffin and walked out of the rear court.
Lennon’s sisters, teary–eyed, wanted to follow the coffin, but Adrian’s men stopped them from doing so. After that, he turned. toward Lennon and said, “Farewell, Mr. Lennon.”
He then walked away without a backward glance. Mya and her men followed behind as they left the Gardner residence.
At that moment, Nadine chased after them and shouted, “Adrian!”

Adrian stopped and turned around to look at Nadine, whose face was drenched in tears.
“Please don’t leave me here. Take me with you, please…”
Adrian frowned and was just about to say something, but Nadine interrupted and said, “I know I might become a burden to you, but please Please take me with you…”
Nadine even got down on her knees as she pleaded.
