The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 717

“Why else would I make you show yourself?” Adrian asked.

Eternity was now enraged. In her mind, Adrian should be a lot more anxious and helpless at the sight of her appearing. Yet, it was obvious he was completely ignoring her power.

Eternity would never face such treatment back in the outlands. But now, she has experienced it, thanks to Adrian.

‘He’s looking down on me.‘

At that moment, Eternity’s fists were clenched as she unleashed her rage.

Seeing this, Mya, Storm, Ivy, and the others clenched their fists, ready to fight.

“Stand back, all of you,” Adrian commanded.

“But she’s Eternity. You can’t-”

“Stand back!” Adrian cut Ivy off.

Ivy and the others gradually released their clenched fists when they heard this and stood back. So did Mya and Storm.

When Eternity saw this, she coldly said, “Is this the stance you’re going to take, Draco? To be honest, I’ve never thought of you people as a threat, and naturally, nor have I ever regarded you as some kind of hotshot.

“But…are you really planning to fight me one–on–one?”

Adrian got up and clapped his hands. “That’s right. I’ll beat you up until you submit. And since you think you’re a hotshot, I’ll give you the courtesy of fighting you with just one hand.”

“What?”

Eternity was instantly startled, while Ivy and the other women stared at him wide–eyed.

‘He’s giving her a handicap?!‘

Ivy said in a panic, “Don’t push yourself, Adrian. You have no idea how powerful she is.”

Eternity laughed. “Looks like you people love putting on airs. I wasn’t going to kill you at first, but now, you’d better not regret dying by my hands after what you just said.”

Adrian smiled and bent his finger at her in a come–hither motion. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“Arrogant b*stard!” Eternity yelled.

Immediately after that, she dashed forward, leaving behind her shadow as she approached Adrian. There was a powerful gust of wind in her wake as she swung a powerful punch at Adrian.

Yet, Eternity’s punch ultimately hit absolutely nothing. She, too, felt a powerful gust of wind as Adrian disappeared from her sight. She immediately retracted her fist and turned around, realizing that he was already behind her.

“You’re rather quick,” she said.

“And you’re rather beautiful,” Adrian replied, leaving Eternity startled.

Realizing something was wrong, she quickly touched her face, only to find that her mask was gone. Her face, something that

nobody has ever seen before, had been revealed.

Adrian fiddled with her mask before he threw it on the ground.

“Y–You took my mask? You b*stard!” Eternity yelled.

Adrian merely smiled, but he was indeed mesmerized by Eternity’s beauty. She was an Eastern woman with brown eyes and fair skin, making her look like she was of mixed ancestry.

Ivy and the others were in shock as they looked at the cold beauty. After all, this was the first time they were seeing Eternity’s

true face despite how long they had been with Bloody Rose.

At that moment, Eternity’s murderous intent was sky–high, and so was her fury meter. “Anyone who sees my face, be it a man or a woman, shall die. I’m going to kill you today!”

Once more, Adrian beckoned at Eternity with his finger, causing her fury meter to rise even more.

She tried to charge at him once more, but her mouth was wide open as she gasped, followed by a loud “thud” the next

moment.

Eternity had been kneed in the stomach, sending a huge wave of pain through her abdomen and causing her to break out in

cold sweat.

“Gah!”
