Chapter 1071

An emergency command was dispatched from Novemton to Southrive Port. Meanwhile in Seatum City, the president of Southrive Port’s office received a call from Novemton. One of the main personnel of Southrive Port, Devin Hood, answered. “Hello, this is Southrive Port’s Devin Hood speaking.” “Mr. Devin, Her Majesty has dispatched an order. War Legate Draco will be arriving at Southrive Port in an hour. He’s on an urgent trip to Luposia, so you have to figure out a way to send him there no matter what.” “Message received.” Devin left the office after receiving the call to make arrangements. *** Adrian and Gloria sat quietly in the plane heading to Seatum. More than half of her body was leaning against Adrian’s, quietly feeling the warmth of his chest. She felt weak and did not wish to speak, lethargically laying in Adrian’s arms. The division of mutated cells had intensified so that her body’s condition was beyond expectations at this point. She had no way to stop it from happening. Adrian was burning with anxiety. Winslow had given him ten days’ time. If he could not locate the miracle doctor by then, it would be too late. He checked the time with the air stewardess over and over as every moment was filled with anxiety for him. “We’ll be arriving in Seatum in twenty minutes, Gloria. We’re going to board a ship and will be in Luposia within a day. I have the whole journey planned out. We’ll be entering Bortuguesa in about five days.” Gloria looked up to Adrian and nodded silently, not wishing to talk. At last, the plane landed at Seatum Airport. Adrian carried Gloria off the plane and sped out of the airport. A driver assigned to wait for Adrian outside the airport was already waiting, as arranged by Crystal. A middle-aged man in a suit standing next to a cross-country vehicle called out to Adrian. “Hello, are you War Legate Draco? I’ve been sent by Southrive Port to pick you up. Get in.” Adrian approached the cross-country vehicle upon hearing this. The middle-aged man opened the door for Adrian and Gloria to get in. The man did not speak as he drove to Southrive Port. In the backseat, Adrian cradled Gloria in his arms while she lay there with her eyes shut, barely breathing. She was so exhausted that she did not wish to open her eyes. In less than twenty minutes, the cross-country vehicle arrived at Southrive Port. Devin and some leaders of the port were already waiting. “You’re here, sir,” said Devin as he walked over to greet Adrian. With Gloria in his arms, Adrian said, “Thank you so much for doing this. Is the ship ready? I’d like to board the ship right away.” Devin nodded and made an invitatory gesture. He said as he walked, “We have a merchant ship from Sormbay, and their next stop is Luposia. Those working on the ship are our people. Ms. Gloria and you will be taking this ship. Her Majesty has already made arrangements for someone to aid you when you get there.” “Thank you,” answered Adrian. “Quickly now…”
