Chapter 827 Adair Acheson

"Wait, Acheson, First Class."

When Adair was about to pass by the young man, the young man grabbed Adair's shoulder.

In the Holy Hilan Empire, the honorific for those who hold official positions is generally "surname + official title".

Adair's surname is Acheson, and his current official position is a first-class general, so the young man called Adair "Acheson, First Class".

"...What's the matter? Sidorov, First Class."

Adair still lowered his head and asked in a calm tone that was neither salty nor bland.

Sidorov is the surname of the young man, and he is at the same level as Adair, both of whom are first-class generals.

He and Adair are also old acquaintances. He and Adair both belong to the Southeast Front Army. After the "Iron Hammer" operation ended, the two were transferred to support the Southwest Front Army together with other generals of the Southeast Front Army.

Although they are old acquaintances, he and Adair are not friends.

"Don't be so cold, Acheson." Sidorov said in a weird tone, "We are colleagues, aren't we? Can't we chat for a while?"

"... Sorry, I don't want to chat with you now, and I don't want to listen to you talking nonsense here."

After that, Adair shook his shoulders and broke free from Sidorov's hand on his shoulder, then ignored Sidorov and continued to walk straight to his residence.

Looking at Adair's back that was getting farther and farther away, Sidorov raised the corner of his mouth and showed a sneer.

Then he shouted at Adair's back:

"Hey! The Britannian Empire may attack us in the early spring!"

"If the Britannians really attack us, you, a Britannian, remember not to be soft-hearted when facing your compatriots!"

After that, Sidorov sneered again and turned away.

After hearing what Sidorov said, Adair stopped.

His fists, which had been relaxed, clenched again.

After a long while, Adair finally let go of his fists and took another step...

...

...

Generals like Adair who were transferred from other legions were arranged to live together.

Just as Adair was about to return to his residence, he passed by a house with lights flashing inside.

This house was very close to Adair's residence. The owner of this house, like Adair, was a general who was transferred from other legions to support the Southwest Front.

When passing this house, Adair's attention was attracted by the conversation inside the house.

Because the sound insulation of these houses was not very good, and the people in this house were talking loudly, Adair could barely hear the content of the conversation inside.

"Hahaha! Hey, do you know the tragic story of Adair Acheson?"

After hearing that the people in the house seemed to be talking about him, Adair stopped his steps, pricked up his ears, and listened carefully to the conversation in the house.

"Adair Acheson? Who is he? Why does his name sound like a Britannian name?"

"You are from the Far East Front, so you may not have heard of his deeds. Although he is a general officer of our Holy Hiran Empire, his parents are both Britannians."

"Oh, that's it. What do you mean by 'tragic deeds'?"

"Hahaha! That Adair Acheson is so miserable! His story has long become a joke among the generals of our Southeast Front."

"That guy just married a beautiful woman a year ago,

but his wife was robbed half a year ago."

"Knocked away? Who robbed her? How was she robbed?"

"That guy took his wife to the capital Ariel for a visit half a year ago, and ran into Duke Zishuval. Duke Zishuval fell in love with his wife, Then he snatched his wife away. "

"Duke Zishuwal? Isn't he a great nobleman in our country? It seems that Adair's wife will not come back."

"Yes, the current Duke Zishuwal is a famous lustful man. It is said that the Duke Zishuwal has more than 100 wives. Some of his wives were married by legitimate means, and some were "married" by force."

"I heard that the current Duke Zishuwal not only has many wives, but also has great ability in that aspect. It is no problem to let several wives sleep with him at the same time."

"Hahaha! Maybe Adair's wife doesn't want to return to Adair after trying the Duke Zishuwal's power!"

"Makes sense! Hahaha!"

...

Adair listened quietly to the people in the house laughing at him.

The teeth had been biting and clacking at some point just now.

The fingers tightly grasped the palm of the hand, and the strength was so great that it seemed to scratch the skin of the palm.

Adair took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down, and then took another step and walked quickly towards his house.

It was a snowy night.

Adair shook off the snow on his body, then opened his door with the key. After finally returning to his home, Adair did not light the oil lamp.

Instead, he walked towards the living room in the dark and towards a chair in the living room.

After coming to the chair, Adair seemed to have lost all the bones in his body in an instant, and he fell directly on a chair in the room.

There was a small round table next to Adair.

On the small round table, there was a small mirror.

Adair looked up at the small mirror.

The mirror reflected a pair of bloodshot eyes and cheeks that had been wet with tears for an unknown time.

The scene reflected in the mirror made Adair unable to bear to look.

Adair waved his hand and knocked the mirror directly to the ground.

After the crisp sound of the mirror on the ground, the dark house returned to peace.

Adair covered his face with his hands and cried silently.

"You look very painful, Sir Adair."

At this moment, a female voice suddenly sounded in the room where he should have been alone.

The female voice sounded from a dark corner of the hall.

Adair was frightened by the sudden female voice and screamed.

He quickly pulled out the dagger he was carrying, and then looked in the direction of the sound with a nervous look:

"Who?! Who is there!"

"Don't be nervous, Lord Adair."

A petite figure walked slowly from the dark corner.

"Put down the dagger, Lord Adair, I am not your enemy."

"Who are you?!" Adair did not relax his vigilance, but continued to stare at the figure walking out of the corner.

After hearing Adair's question, the petite figure was silent for a while.

Then he said in a serious tone:

"I am the one who comes to give you the power of revenge."
