The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 62

Adaline was about to follow a senior student from the reception counter to complete the admission procedures when Adrian took her to the university’s main office building instead.

Curious, Adaline asked, “Why are we heading to the office when the dorms are over there? I can handle the rest from here, so I think it’s about time for you to leave.”

“I’m going to introduce you to someone. I’ll leave once I’ve helped you settle down.”

Adaline remained silent, not knowing to whom Adrian was going to introduce her.

When they arrived at the office building, Adrian brought Adaline upstairs and headed straight for the chancellor’s office. However, there was no one inside the office when they entered.

“Let’s sit here for a while.”

“Adrian, what are we doing in the chancellor’s office?” Adaline seemed tense.

‘The chancellor is the one with the highest authority in a university!‘ she thought.

“Let’s just sit and wait for a while.” Adrian then sat on the sofa and picked up a magazine to flip through.

Shortly after some nervous waiting on Adaline’s part, a middle–aged man in a suit pushed open the door and entered in a

hurry.

“M–Mr. Magnus,” Adaline anxiously greeted and got to her feet the moment she saw the man.

The middle–aged man’s name was Magnus Sewell, the chancellor of Swallowston University.

Magnus threw a swift glance at Adaline before standing before Adrian and saying in a respectful manner. “I’m really sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Adrian.”

Adaline’s mouth hung wide open with shock. ‘Did the chancellor just greet my brother respectfully?‘ Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Umm…” mumbled Adaline.

On the other hand, Adrian continued to flip through his magazine as he said, “So, you’re Magnus Sewell, the guy Daniel

mentioned?”

Magnus nodded. “Yes, sir. That would be me.”

Despite being the chancellor, this was Magnus‘ first time coming across someone as powerful as Adrian.

On this very day, he had received a special phone call from someone within the battle warrior department, saying that the war legate wanted to meet with him.

Magnus had immediately rushed back to his office without a moment’s hesitation.

Adrian finally put down his magazine to look at Magnus. “This is my sister. She’ll be studying at your university starting today. Do I have to elaborate any further?”

Magnus took a deep breath.“Rest assured, Mr. Adrian. I’ll arrange for her to stay in the best dormitory. While she’s part of Swallowston University, I’ll make sure she’s well taken care of.”

“No.” Adrian shook his head. “You can arrange for her to stay with the other students. I came here to see you today because 1 want you to keep a close eye on her. I want you to inform me the moment you find out she’s slacking off in her studies.”

“Umm…” Magnus glanced at Adaline and immediately nodded. “I understand.”

Adrian then continued and said, “Also, I want you to keep her safe. If I find out she lost even a single strand of hair, I’ll come back for your head.”

“Understood, Mr. Adrian.”

Adrian nodded and stood up. He then looked at Adaline, who seemed to be in a daze. “Remember what I’m about to tell you.

There will always be a pair of eyes watching over you from above, so don’t disappoint our father, okay? I’m counting on you to strengthen our family.”

Adaline fell silent. She could feel a shadow of her father on Adrian at that moment from how he spoke to her. “Okay,” she replied.
