The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 52

Once Cedric finished speaking, Adrian’s arm shook as a burst of power radiated through it. Cedric was scared out of his wits and instantly backed away in shock.

Cedric’s eyes widened in surprise. He felt a sense of threat for just a brief moment.

However, he was a proud man. He instantly said in a fury, “Adrian, you have no appreciation for my kindness. In that case, I’m going to make a call to Swallowston Bank. You’re not stepping foot in there.”

Adrian’s interest was piqued. He smiled and said, “Go ahead and try. I’d like to see if I’m capable of entering Swallowston Bank today.”

Cedric furrowed his eyebrows. He came to the bank today to withdraw some money and did not expect to bump into Adrian.

In truth, he had found out about Adrian’s return some time ago. He had not expected this deadbeat to disrespect him.

“Very well. Just wait.” Cedric pointed at Adrian.

As he spoke, Cedric began to dial a number on his phone.

Samantha grew anxious when she saw Cedric making the call. She hastily said to Adrian, “Don’t go against him. Placate him. Quick.”

Samantha knew Cedric’s method very well. She knew that her loan would fall through if Cedric were to call the general

manager

of Swallowston Bank. It had not been easy for her to persuade a bank into giving her a loan, so she refused to let it fall through.

“Let him make the call, Sam. I’d like to see what sort of commotion he causes,” said Adrian, disregarding Samantha’s

instruction.

“Adrian, do you understand how important this is to us? Why are you still acting impulsively right now?”

Samantha knew that she would have no chance if Cedric made the call. She could not help panicking after noticing Adrian’s

lack of response.

“Adrian.” Samantha urged him again.

Adrian shook his head. “Sam, I already said let him make the call.”

“You…” Samantha was rendered speechless. She had no idea where Adrian got the courage to do this.

Samantha was at a loss for words in response to Adrian’s stubbornness.

Cedric had already made the call to the general manager of Swallowston Bank, Samuel Lane.

Samuel was a close friend of Cedric, and he quickly picked up the call. Cedric quickly briefed him on the situation.

Upon hearing what was going on, Samuel said, “Our bank never agreed to give Samantha a loan. I’m afraid she came to the wrong place. Hang on, Cedric. I’ll head over there now.”

Cedric hung up the call and looked at Samantha and Adrian with a proud expression. “It’s done. It’ll now be impossible for Bailar to take out a loan from Swallowston Bank.

“You wanted to fight me, Adrian? I can get rid of you at the drop of a hat.” Cedric sneered. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Samantha was stunned upon hearing Cedric’s remark. She had not expected her glimmer of hope to instantly fade away just because of Cedric’s call.

Swallowston Bank was the only bank willing to give her a loan. How was Bailar supposed to get a loan from another bank with all the fuss that was happening?

Samantha teared up and did not know what to do.

On the other hand, Adrian pulled out his phone and sent a text message. In less than three minutes, a young man wearing Swallowston Bank’s uniform walked out of the building with more than ten security guards in tow.

The moment he stepped outside, the young man said, “Cedric, why did you not notify me before coming here? “May I know who Adrian and Samantha are?”
