The Return of the War Legate by Celestial Clouds novel Chapter 9

Nobody there knew what to do. Alyanz was going to be disbanded!

Daniel got approval from the legate? But where was he? Everyone looked around but could not determine who he was.

Celine broke down and got to her knees. “Please forgive me, Legate! I didn’t take away her company on purpose! I-I’ll give it back!”

She was afraid. She thought that the legate was there to make her acquaintance. But instead, he was there to help Samantha.

“Take her away!” Daniel ignored Celine’s plea and commanded.

As a few men walked over, Celine quickly crawled toward Samantha’s feet and grabbed her. “Samantha, Samantha, I’m sorry! Please help me!”

Celine’s face was covered in tears as she wept. She was utterly out of her wits and was visibly trembling.

Samantha, shocked at Celine’s actions, took a few steps back and fell into someone’s arms. She turned around and realized that it was Adrian.

She blushed.

“Go away!” Adrian boomed as he kicked Celine in her face, “General Summers, take her away!”

“Yes sir.”

The few guards dragged Celine out.

The crowd was so shocked they did not make a sound.

When Rue and Adaline saw this, even though they were afraid of Daniel, they were elated. Celine had been bullying Samantha, so it was cathartic to see that karma had gotten to her.

Only Samantha turned to look at Adrian. The idea of Adrian being the legate crept into her mind again, but as soon as the idea popped up, she brushed it aside.

“Everyone, please leave. Alyanz will no longer exist from today onward,” Daniel ordered.

After hearing that, everyone started moving toward the door. No one dared stay. If they angered the legate, their life would end right then and there.

The place was quickly evacuated but Samantha stood rooted to the spot.

Daniel walked over to her and said, “Ms. Samantha, I’ll get someone to transfer Bailar back to you.”

“Thank you, and thanks to the legate as well,” Samantha replied.

“You’re all good people.” Rue wiped her tears away and bowed to him.

Daniel nodded and left without saying another word.

After he left, Rue quickly said, “Sam, let’s go home.”

Samantha nodded and left with Rue and Adaline. But when they got outside, they realized that Adrian was nowhere to be found.

Rue was curious. “Where did Adrian go? Ada, have you seen your brother?”

Adaline shook her head. She had been so focused on Daniel and had not seen where Adrian went.

Samantha frowned and looked around but he was nowhere to be seen.

Suddenly, a brave thought crawled into her mind.

Meanwhile, on the street outside the Alyanz Tower, a military vehicle was parked there. Adaline squinted and could see there were two people inside.
