The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 691

Buck was killed at the scene of what was supposed to be a joyous wedding.

Everyone in the hall was astounded and dumbstruck after witnessing what happened.

Joel, Megan, and Wiley looked at Adrian in astonishment. They felt extremely puzzled, shocked, and emotional in their hearts.

They were emotional because this man deserved to die. However, the Snows were terrified at the sight of Buck’s corpse.

“H–He killed him.”

“Yeah, he’s a cold–blooded killer. Who is he? He killed Buck out of nowhere.”

“He’s a cruel man who does exactly what he says.‘

A number of people were discussing softly.

The ballroom was filled with a series of noises. Countless people were discussing softly while Joel hurriedly made his way to Adrian. He bowed to Adrian before he asked, “Y–Young man, why did you kill Buck? Internal Affairs will surely punish you for it. Your actions might also implicate my family.” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Joel sounded nervous. Adrian meticulously looked him up and down. Joel was only a little over sixty years old but he looked extremely old like he was seventy to eighty. Perhaps he had exhausted himself in his search for his daughter.

“Why in the world did you put us in trouble, young man? Buck’s uncle who works at Internal Affairs will most certainly accuse my family of commissioning you to kill Buck,” Megan ran over and blamed Adrian

as tears streamed down her face.

“My friend, do you harbor a deep hatred for Buck? Though I want to praise you as this kill is rather a good deed, this matter is completely unrelated to our family. You killed this man, and we don’t know who you are,” Wiley said as he walked over and joined his family.

Adrian kept quiet for a moment as he looked at the panic–stricken family of three. After a while, he said, “Don’t worry. I’m the one who killed Buck, and this incident is unrelated to you. His uncle will die too. Your family should prepare to come somewhere with me tomorrow morning”

“G–Go somewhere with you?” Joel was stunned.

Megan and Wiley were taken aback. They stared at Adrian from head to toe, but they could not recognize him.

Megan asked, “Who are you? Why should we go anywhere with you?”

Wiley was vigilant toward Adrian and said, “My friend, who are you? Why did you show up at my wedding out of nowhere? Tell me, who are you?”

Adrian kept quiet. After a long while, he said, “I’m very sorry for disrupting the wedding. I didn’t do it on purpose. I’ll come and pick you up tomorrow. You and your family will be coming with me to Southrive.”

“This sounds like a big joke. You just killed Buck, and we don’t know you. Why should we follow you to Southrive?” Joel questioned.

“My father’s right. What are you trying to do? just tell us. Why would we ever follow you to Southrive? Also, you killed Buck. That’s none of my business,” Wiley said,

Adrian did not answer. He then looked toward Megan and said, “Eira Snow.”

“Eira Snow?”

The family of three was stunned. The next moment, their mouths widened in shock. It was as if the name had already decayed

in their hearts.

Following Adrian’s remark, Megan and her husband were shocked. Megan shook profusely for a brief moment before tears streamed down her face. She dropped to her krasses and cried and shouted, “My poor daughter!”

Megan and Joel conceived late in their marriage and only had their daughter at around forty years old. They were under the

assumption that they would live a happy life, yet that catastrophe had dawned on them soundlessly. Their daughter had been missing for more than a decade and had yet to be found.
