The Return of the War Legate Chapter 11
A young man drove out of a mansion somewhere in Swllowston after answering Simon’s call.That young man was George Livingston, son of one of the richest men in Swallowston, and had a close relationship with Donald Kushner, the richest man in the city.After Simon got acquainted with George, the Cowells wanted to be associated with George, so they proposed a partnership between their companies. Clara added fuel to the fire and suggested that Samantha would sleep with him.At that moment, George’s luxury car drove into the streets of Swallowston toward Adrian’s place. However, there were sudden bursts of engine noise from all directions.The next moment, military SUVs popped out of nowhere and blocked his car from all sides.“Wh-What’s this?”George’s eyes opened wide when he saw the sudden fleet of cars. Before he could react, his car was surrounded by more than a dozen cars.The cars stopped, and Daniel got out of one of them.George shuddered and said, “General Summers, what b

Night time.When the family was having dinner, Adrian’s phone rang. It was Daniel on the line.“I need to take this.” Adrian got up and went to the garden.Once he picked up, Daniel said, “Sir, the Cowells sent you an invitation for a gathering at their home. I haven’t replied. Will you be attending?”“I don’t have time for that. Reject the invite.” Adrian hung up and went back inside.Samantha said to Adrian, “Go to my family home and meet my grandmother tomorrow. She’s my family.”“All right.” He nodded.“Don’t forget to bring her some gifts. I have some money here.” Rue quickly took out her purse and handed him a hundred dollars.He looked at the money and was touched. It was apparent she had been keeping this money for a while now because it was all crumpled up.Something came to mind and Adrian said, “Mother, how much money do you need for Ada’s tuition? Which university did she get into?”Adaline looked up and started paying attention.Rue said, “Swallowston University

Meanwhile, at the Cowells’.The Cowells used to be an affluent family in Swallowston. But after John passed away, Violet took over the family affairs and caused the family to go from an upstanding family to a low-class one.Violet Barker was an arrogant, self-centered woman who loved to look down on people. Clara and Francis were her favorite grandchildren, but she loathed Samantha.There was a family meeting underway at the Cowell’s. Violet was hosting in the living room.Samantha’s eldest uncle, Nathan Cowell, her second uncle, Hugo Cowell, Hugo’s son, Francis Cowell, and many other family members were in attendance.Clara was there with a swollen face. The reason for the meeting was to discuss Swallow Central.Violet said, “I just got word that Swallow Central will start letting companies bid for a spot in a week. The legate will be there to chair the investment conference. They’ve already sent out invitations. Do any of you have any idea how to get an invite for the family?”

“Wow, your family’s famous!”“You’re so different from that piece of trash.”“Yes, you’re so much better than him.”Everyone started licking Simon’s boots after he said that and compared him to Adrian.When Simon heard this, he became even smugger and smirked at Adrian.Simon said, “The legate will personally be there, so everyone in the upper-class circle is paying a lot of attention to the conference. I heard that Battle Warrior Lucas will be escorting him. Not everyone has the opportunity to get an invitation.”All the Cowells took a sharp intake of breath. The legate and the Battle Warriors were extremely important figures. Getting an invitation would be the biggest achievement for the Cowells.Nathan said, “Simon, do you think your family can get an invitation for our family too?”Everyone agreed upon hearing this.Hugo said, “Yes, Simon. You’re my brother’s son-in-law, and your family is prominent in Swallowston. If your father asked for it, we could probably get an invi

Had Adrian’s call really made the war legate send an invitation to the Cowells?“Thanks to the legate. Thank you, General Summers.”Violet gazed at the invitation. Her tears started falling as she put out her hand to accept it.Daniel nodded and said, “Everyone here is invited. We’ll reserve seats for you. Have a good day.”“Please see General Summers off,” Violet said.Hugo and Nathan escorted Daniel out.Everyone’s eyes were glued to the invitation as if they were in a collective dream.“Grandmother, this is a genuine invitation!” Francis excitedly said.“It is. The legate actually gave us an invitation!”“The gods are smiling on us. We’re on the road to becoming one of the richest families in Swallowston!” Violet looked up and gave her thanks to the Heavens.Samantha looked at Adrian in shock. Had this invitation really come because of his call?However, Simon suddenly said, “Congratulations, Grandmother. Truth be told, before coming over, my father contacted the legate t

That night, Samantha went home straight after finishing work at Bailar.As usual, dinner was ready at home.“Mother, is Adrian back?” Samantha asked once she got home.After leaving the Cowells’, she went to sit in her office and pondered for a long time. She knew that she had gone overboard by leaving Adrian on the streets. He was, after all, her husband.Adrian had said all that to protect her, so when she did not see him home, she grew curious. She was afraid that he would leave again.Rue replied, “He’s making dinner in the kitchen. He made everything here.”Adrian walked out of the kitchen as Rue was saying that.Upon seeing him, Samantha sighed in relief, but she was disappointed because all her husband knew was to cook.“Go wash your hands. It’s time for dinner,” he said to her, but she gave no reply.Everyone sat down and started having dinner, but Adaline suddenly said, “Sam, I heard that Swallow Central is almost ready to be opened to the public and that the legate w

Everyone looked toward Adrian.There was a three-second pause followed by an explosion of laughter.“Haha! Adrian, you trash! You’re such a funny man!” Francis held his stomach as he pointed at Adrian with tears of laughter rolling down his cheeks.All the Cowells laughed uproariously.Simon chastised Adrian, “You said that you were going to get an invitation for the Cowells, but I was the one who ended up getting it. You just love to lie!”Clara added, “You’re so funny. You, the piece of trash, can get Samantha into the investment conference? What a joke!”Adaline closed her eyes because she was speechless. Adrian making an outrageous lie like that would just make everyone laugh at him.Samantha was disappointed again. She felt terrible for leaving Adrian on the streets earlier, but it seemed that he had not learned his lesson.‘Go on. Laugh. I’ll enjoy the look on your faces on that day,’ Adrian thought.The laughter finally stopped, then the Cowells looked at him.Simon sa

In the next few days, the city grew increasingly excited about the Swallow Central investment conference.The legate and his wife became a hot topic.There was then further news that Battle Warrior Lucas was back in Swallowston and Swallow Central was locked down in preparation for the conference.This sent ripples throughout Swallowston.***The day of the conference finally arrived.All the invited corporations and families went to Swallow Central to attend the conference.Every one of them was excited to see the legate and his wife.Samantha did not go to the office that morning but was instead spacing out at home. No one knew what was on her mind.Adrian, on the other hand, had left home early in the morning. Even Samantha had no idea where he had gone.“What’s on your mind, Sam?” Rue saw her spacing out on the couch and asked.Samantha looked at Rue and replied, “Mother, something feels off today. I feel as if something big is going to happen. My eyelid keeps twitching.

After dealing with Edgar, the pair left the area.Meanwhile, in a grand hall within Ciawales, a man sat high upon a throne. His gaze was sharp and piercing. Suddenly, a man dressed in black rushed in, his steps quick and filled with urgency. He seemed flustered and a bit overwhelmed. “Your Highness, I regret to report that the mission has failed,” he said, bowing. Hearing this, the man on the throne, the crown prince of Ciawales Justin Wagner, was filled with rage. “Both teams failed? How could this be? Does that girl have some extraordinary protector by her side?” Justin asked furiously, “Wasn’t it thoroughly investigated? The strongest among her entourage was only at the later Divine Stage. How could the mission fail? Even Edgar had failed too?"Trembling as he knelt, the man dared not raise his head. “Yes, Your Highness. We found Edgar's corpse alone in a desolate area." Justin’s expression darkened. He hadn’t expected Renee to have such a powerful ally. "Very well. Call

Adrian’s gaze sharpened as he replied, “Is that so? Just because we’re at the same level doesn’t mean we’re equals. Let’s keep moving. It seems you’ve had quite a turbulent journey.”Renee looked at Adrian with a helpless expression because his words were undeniably true. Her journey had indeed been full of endless obstacles, especially with the Crown Prince attempting to kill her. "Are we still heading to Ciawales?” Renee asked.Despite the dangers, Adrian still intended to go to Ciawales, leaving Renee puzzled. She even felt a bit hesitant and considered turning back. As she considered it, Adrian casually replied, “Why wouldn’t we? I said I’d get you back safely, and I’ll see it through. No one can stop us.” His tone was calm, filled with a kind of unwavering confidence.Renee looked at Adrian with a mix of shock and admiration, not understanding why he was so resolute. There were easier paths to take, yet he chose the difficult one. She couldn’t quite grasp Adrian’s determina

Edgar's eyes widened in utter disbelief as he looked at Adrian. He couldn’t fathom how Adrian could be so powerful. Before he could fully grasp what was happening, the force of Adrian’s sword and fists were already crashing into his body. “H-How are you this strong?" Edgar stammered, finally realizing how ignorant he was. Confronted with Adrian’s swordsmanship, he felt all his skills were weak and insignificant. However, there was no answer for him. Boom!A wave of violent power erupted. Adrian didn’t relent in his assault. After all, Edgar had insisted on challenging him to a life-and-death duel. Therefore, Adrian saw no reason to hold back.The Soul Devouring Sword transformed into countless streaks of energy, each one piercing through Edgar’s body. "Aahhh!!" Edgar’s scream filled the air as he felt his strength rapidly slipping away. Desperately, he roared, “No! I won’t die like this!” However, there was nothing he could do other than wait for a merciless end. In his final

Observing the scene before him, Adrian smiled calmly and said, “Trying to defend yourself? I already told you this is the end of the line for you. Why don’t you believe me?” Edgar was furiously swinging his sword, unwilling to believe Adrian could deliver a killing blow. He felt confident he could block all of Adrian’s attacks.But just as Adrian finished speaking, a wave of chaotic power erupted around them. His energy surged, making the very air tremble. The entire space seemed to quiver, and Adrian’s gaze grew sharper as he said, “This ends now.” The dozen or so Soul Devouring Swords rushing toward Edgar vanished into thin air, leaving only a single, true Soul Devouring Sword to appear right above his head. This blade radiated an intense, dark energy while hurtling down toward Edgar with deadly precision. Edgar was horrified and desperately tried to evade, but it was too late. Crash! The raging Soul Devouring Sword struck down, crushing with immense force. Edgar was paral

“How is this possible?” Edgar watched in sheer horror as Adrian’s sword seemed to shatter the very fabric of space. The scene unfolding before him was too strange to believe, yet it was happening right before his eyes. The blade seemed to tear through space, arriving ominously behind Edgar, who was left in utter disbelief. Desperate, Edgar raised his own sword to block the incoming attack. Clang! Clang! Clang! The impact echoed as Edgar’s sword was violently knocked aside, sent flying in an instant. The sheer force was staggering, and Edgar’s face darkened as he observed the terrifying power of Adrian’s sword. Ordinary swords couldn’t cut through the air like this, but Adrian’s blade proved it could.It was only then Edgar realized that Adrian’s power was on a whole other level. Struggling to comprehend, he demanded, “How can you be so strong?” Adrian simply smiled. “It’s nothing special. You call yourself invincible, yet you’ve never seen the true world outside. What right do

Adrian looked at Edgar and smiled calmly. "You already experienced one sword strike. Now, let's try another. I want you to fully understand your weakness." Adrian’s calm taunts were a blatant provocation, showing utter disdain for Edgar.Furious, Edgar glared at Adrian. He knew Adrian was pushing his limits with such contempt."You might think your strength is impressive, but if I go all out, you're nothing more than an ant," Edgar said. He was confident that, despite Adrian’s apparent power, he was still far beneath him. Adrian responded with a slight, cool smile. While Edgar had the credentials to speak this way, he was underestimating Adrian. After all, Adrian’s strength was formidable. If he unleashed his full power, Edgar wouldn’t be able to withstand it.To an outsider, Edgar’s strength might appear to be on par with Adrian's, but Adrian’s power transcended that comparison by a tier. The moment he went all-out, Edgar wouldn’t stand a chance. Nearby, Renee looked on in su

With a calm smile, Adrian said, "Your strength is impressive, but thinking you can kill me is a bit overconfident." His words echoed across the trembling land, yet Edgar refused to believe that Adrian could be so formidable.Waves of power rippled forth while Renee stood transfixed, feeling the intensifying killing intent in the air.At that moment, Adrian unleashed a surge of energy, which instantly struck Edgar, sending him hurtling backward."How can he be this strong?" Edgar was stunned, completely at a loss. Despite his formidable strength, he was simply thrown aside by Adrian.Adrian asked, "What’s wrong? Am I too strong for you? How does it feel?"The killing intent in Adrian's gaze intensified, freezing Edgar on the spot. Edgar clenched his sword and prepared to strike again. He couldn’t believe the difference in power. He had to defeat Adrian, or he’d never let it go.Suddenly, Adrian vanished, leaving Edgar bewildered as he couldn’t sense Adrian’s presence. In the n

Edgar was determined to annihilate Adrian, and so he charged up his attack once again. The ground quaked, and towering trees fell one after another.Adrian’s eyes glinted coldly as he watched the scene unfold. He understood exactly what was happening and knew there would be no peace until one of them was defeated.Filled with a bloodthirsty desire, Edgar wanted nothing more than to kill Adrian. Adrian’s face darkened as he prepared to meet him with equal ruthlessness.At that moment, Edgar finally finished charging his attack and rushed forward. His sword transformed into countless blades that sliced through the air with devastating force.Adrian sneered. "Oh? So, you do have some skills, but I still advise you to surrender."Hearing this, Edgar's face twisted in anger. Adrian's remark felt like a blatant insult as if he was looking down on him."I’m going to destroy you!" Edgar swung his sword from an unexpected angle, aiming to break through Adrian’s defenses.Adrian sneered an

Adrian spoke calmly as he led Renee swiftly onward. He had no intention of lingering here. His destination lay elsewhere, and he didn’t want to waste time.As for the man pursuing them, Adrian had already gauged his abilities from his sword techniques. At most, Edgar had some skill, but Adrian was confident he could overpower Edgar in swordsmanship.Edgar, fuming with rage, shouted, “I don’t believe it! Are you some kind of sword expert?”Edgar’s attacks grew even more ferocious, his swordsmanship wild and fierce, as he charged forward. He was determined to end Adrian’s life here and now. Being known for his swordsmanship, Edgar could not tolerate being treated with such disdain. His heart burned with fury and unwillingness.Adrian glanced back dismissively and said, “I already told you, your swordsmanship is child’s play. Yet you refuse to believe it. How pitiful.”Edgar was nearly driven mad with rage. He had honed his swordsmanship for years, yet Adrian mocked it as child’s pla
