Seeing this, Adrian quickly ran after Nirina.
“Mr. Mandra, let me accompany you back to the army camp…”
“I’m a man. Do I need you to send me?” Nirina snapped after turning around to glance at Adrian.
Adrian instantly blushed, feeling a little scared. “Mr. Mandra, don’t be mad about what just happened. My uncle misunderstood you. He meant no harm.”
“I know he meant no harm. Otherwise, would I have let him go?” Nirina said, glancing back at Frederic and the other guests.
His eyes were calm, but Frederic and the customers felt as if they were being cut with a knife, and they were terrified.
“To avoid further misunderstandings, you’d better not see me again, Ms. Townsend…” Nirina said and headed for the door.
However, he then thought of the ancient bronze sword fragment, and maybe Adrian or her father had other clues.
He stopped near the door and said, “Of course, if you have news about the ancient bronze sword fragment, you have my permission to see me at the army camp…”
Once Nirina left, the atmosphere in the store finally resumed its previous liveliness.
A large group of customers gathered around Adrian, asking questions excitedly.
“Ms. Townsend, that man turned out to be the commander-in-chief of the city defense army! How do you know him?”
“I didn’t expect the commander-in-chief to be so young. Ms. Townsend, he won’t blame us for what we just said, right?”
“Ms. Townsend, Commander Mandra doesn’t seem interested in you. What a shame. If he were interested in you, the Townsend family would prosper…”
These people were saying earlier that Nirina would be lucky to marry Adrian. However, they changed their statements as if they had forgotten what they had said.
Geena took the fragments and left.
He hurried back about half an hour later. Geena did not come back empty-handed. He was holding a copy of the test results.
“Commander, we’ve tested them. The fragments aren’t antiques from ancient times. It’s a modern military dagger, only specially made to look worn. Most importantly, it contains a map and a numerical code!”
With that said, Geena put the test results on Nirina’s desk.
The ancient bronze sword fragments did hold a secret!
Judging from the report, it was not a small secret!
Nirina had already found the ancient bronze sword intensely strange at his first sight of it in the Townsend family house. He had always trusted his instincts.
