The Return of the War Legate by Celestial Clouds

Chapter 649
Gabriel’s earlier arrogance had completely vanished, and in its place was boundless fear.
The situation had far surpassed his imagination. This was supposed to be an easy task but judging by the current situation,
Shirley had no need to fear him anymore.
He should be the one fearing her now.
Shirley was disgusted by the sight of Gabriel. This was the man who claimed to be a king earlier. But now, he was kneeling on
There was a saying, “There is nothing permanent except change.”
“Sigh!” Shirley shook her head and let out a long sigh, feeling emotional
On the other hand, Gabriel was trembling like a leat. Large droplets of sweat streamed down his face and tears were
continuously flowing from his eyes.
Noticing that Adrian was quiet, he continued to beg for mercy. “Sir, I’ve truly realized that I was wrong. I was too rash in handling
this matter today. Please spare me, sir!”
Gabriel burst into tears. His subordinates had already backed out of the room in the meantime. No one had the courage to
offend War Legate Draco.
Meanwhile, Adrian said, “Mr. Gabriel, it’s useless for you to beg me. You scared the girl so much that she almost wet herself
earlier. You should be begging her instead. If she’s willing to forgive you, you may live.”
Adrian simply acted as Shirley’s backer.
Shirley grunted and raised a beautiful eyebrow upon hearing Adrian’s remark.
Gabriel hastily bowed to Shirley. “I was wrong, Ms. Shirley. I was wrong. Please, Ms. Shirley.”
Shirley felt liberated. She chuckled and said, “Weren’t you full of yourself earlier? You addressed yourself as king. Why are you
turning into a coward now?”

Gabriel was embarrassed. The most terrifying thing that could happen to a person in this world was to be discredited, and it was
clear that he was going through this right now.
“I was wrong,” Gabriel said.
“Call me ‘mommy.” Shirley beckoned him
Gabriel’s expression changed drastically. He was more than forty years old and his children were almost Shirley’s age. Yet, be
was being asked to address a woman the same age as his children as “mommy?”
“Uh.” Gabriel was taken aback.
Shirley said in puzzlement, “Huh? Are you reluctant to do it, Mr. Gabriel? Or am I not qualified to be your money?”
Gabriel’s expression was unpleasant as he squeaked in embarrassment, “Mommy!”
“Yikes, good boy. However, I don’t have any candy for you today. I’ll bring you one next time,” Shirley said while giggling with her
mouth covered.
Shirley turned her head and looked toward Adrian. “Sir, you may decide what to do to this man.”
As soon as Shirley’s voice faded, Gabriel looked at Adrian with teary eyes. He had no idea what sort of fate lay in wait for him.
Adrian sat upright on the bed.
Gabriel said, “Sir, I’m the nephew of Chase’s brother-in-law, Chase is from Novemton’s Internal Affairs. Will you please let me out
of respect for Chase? We’re all serving the country. Even though Internal Affairs and Wyvern Peak are divided, we’re
2/2
still sort of colleagues, right?”
“|— ”
Gabriel wanted to add something else but Adrian interrupted him
“Chase holds a high position in Internal Affairs and he reigns over countless people. He’s a powerful force of his own indeed.
However, do you think that I have any respect for him?” Adrian asked.

“Uh..” Gabriel was shocked
