The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 39

At last, the waiter opened the door of the private room

Soon afterward, Bo dressed in a suit walked into the room. Behind him was Kevan’s father, Julian. A large group of bodyguards followed them into the room as well.

The entire private room was boiling over with excitement because of these people’s arrival. The group was emotional, excited, and anxious.

Suddenly, everyone got up from their seats and perked up.

Harry said in excitement. “You’re here, Uncle Bo! Uncle Julian, what have I done to deserve someone like you to support me today?

“I’m really grateful!”

Harry extended his hand proudly toward Kevan’s father.

He had not expected to have such a powerful connection. Then, he said excitedly. “Sorry for troubling you today, Uncle Julian. This deadbeat is abominable and you must punish him properly.”

Meanwhile, Kevan saw his father, Julian from the other side and called out, “Father.”

Julian nodded.

On the other hand, Stella said, “Hello, Mr. Zahn. I’m Kevan’s girlfriend, Stella York.”

The rest of the group looked at Kevan, Harry, and Stella in envy that they got to interact with these big shots.

Harry was excited

Kevan was even more excited.

Stella was already excited beyond comparison.

Meanwhile, Adaline buried her head in her hands and cried in the corner after witnessing the scene. Her body trembled beyond her control and her face was drenched in tears of despair.

If these people were here to kill Adrian today, she would not be able to seek justice for him elsewhere. However, she was at a loss for what to do now.

The private room fell deathly silent when Kevan, Stella, and Harry were done chattering. Only Adaline’s sobs were heard.

The group looked at Adrian with amused expressions.

Harry took a sip of water with a smug look on his face.

Stella knew that Adrian was doomed as well.

Kevan sneered in his heart.

“Harry, who’s the oblivious f*cker who attacked you?” Bo asked in a tone filled with fury as he threw a sharp glance around the private room.

Julian said, “Kevan, you’re a member of the Zahn family. No one in Swallowston will have the audacity to walk over you. Tell me. Who was it?”

Harry, Stella, and Kevan were excited upon hearing Bo and Julian’s remarks.

Harry abruptly pointed at Adrian. “Uncle Julian, it was this brat. He’s the son of the late Henry Xander. The successor of the Xander Group back in those years. Their family property has been taken away by Harold Xander when his father passed away.”

Kevan said, “That’s right. There’s no telling where the lad learned his amateur fighting skills to beat up Harry.”

Stella ‘hastily chimed in by saying, “Uncle Bo, Uncle Zahn, you must stand up for Harry!”

Stella was initially not involved in this matter but joined in the conversation in an attempt to boost her presence.

Adaline shook upon hearing their remarks.

On the other hand, Bo and Julian looked toward Adrian.

“I believe that you’re the lad who tried to pass off as the war legate in the city yesterday, right?” questioned Julian. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“That’s right,” Adrian replied.

Julian frowned and said, “You were only pretending to be the war legate, but you aren’t. You’ve offended my son. How do you plan on dealing with that?”

Bo warned Adrian by saying, “Boy, it’d be best for you to give a proper explanation. Otherwise, you’re doomed…”

Adrian raised his head and found all this ridiculous. “How do you two plan on dealing with the situation then?”

Upon hearing Adrian’s remark, everyone burst out laughing.

‘How dare you speak to the president of the Zahn Group and the underworld’s Bo “Boxchamp” Lynch in such a tone? Are you trying to get yourself killed?‘
