The Return of the War Legate by Celestial Clouds novel Chapter 52

Once Cedric finished speaking, Adrian’s arm shook as a burst of power radiated through it. Cedric was scared out of his wits and instantly backed away in shock.

Cedric’s eyes widened in surprise. He felt a sense of threat for just a brief moment.

However, he was a proud man. He instantly said in a fury, “Adrian, you have no appreciation for my kindness. In that case, I’m going to make a call to Swallowston Bank. You’re not stepping foot in there.”

Adrian’s interest was piqued. He smiled and said, “Go ahead and try. I’d like to see if I’m capable of entering Swallowston Bank today.”

Cedric furrowed his eyebrows. He came to the bank today to withdraw some money and did not expect to bump into Adrian.

In truth, he had found out about Adrian’s return some time ago. He had not expected this deadbeat to disrespect him.

“Very well. Just wait.” Cedric pointed at Adrian.

As he spoke, Cedric began to dial a number on his phone.

Samantha grew anxious when she saw Cedric making the call. She hastily said to Adrian, “Don’t go against him. Placate him. Quick.”

Samantha knew Cedric’s method very well. She knew that her loan would fall through if Cedric were to call the general manager of Swallowston Bank. It had not been easy for her to persuade a bank into giving her a loan, so she refused to let it fall through.

“Let him make the call, Sam. I’d like to see what sort of commotion he causes,” said Adrian, disregarding Samantha’s instruction.

“Adrian, do you understand how important this is to us? Why are you still acting impulsively right now?”

Samantha knew that she would have no chance if Cedric made the call. She could not help panicking after noticing Adrian’s lack of response.

“Adrian.” Samantha urged him again.
