Alas, Samantha’s show of respect was not received in kind.

“Who are you to call me ‘grandfather?’ I don’t acknowledge you,” Harold admonished.

Leonard had a menacing look on his face as he angrily said, “Drop the act, Samantha. What makes you think you’re worthy of being a Xander?”

He then shot an even angrier look at Adrian before he stepped up and said, “I was just about to find you to settle a score for beating up my son, Adrian.”

Samantha was initially embarrassed, but instantly became confused when she heard what Leonard said.

‘Adrian beat up Cedric? When?’

“I’d advise you to mind your tone, Leonard. You’re free to disregard my father as your sibling, which means I’m also free to disregard you as my relative,” Adrian retorted.

After that, he took hold of Samantha’s hand. “Let’s go.”

Samantha nodded, not wanting to be involved with the Xanders either.

Cecilia watched as the couple walked into the club and said, “Father, that was so rude of them. Do they even have any respe

    At that moment, Adrian was exuding a dangerously threatening air.His intent to kill was so strong that it could no longer be suppressed.Wilfred was terrified. In fact, all the Xanders were too stunned for words when they felt Adrian’s murderous intent.Samantha was the one person Adrian would not allow anyone to speak ill of. It did not matter if the person was the king himself. He would kill the person who dared humiliate his sweet Sam.“Let go of him, Adrian.” Samantha had no idea he would end up exuding such a strong temperament. She desperately wanted to pull him away when she saw how genuinely mad he was, afraid he might end up doing something unforgivable.Yet, Adrian did not loosen his grip. Once more, he asked Wilfred to repeat what he had said.But Wilfred was too frightened to repeat those words. Instead, he started panicking and said, “Let go of me, Adrian! Let go of me right now!”“I said, repeat yourself. You have three seconds.” Adrian looked at him coldly.“I’m

    Harold took in a deep breath, while Leonard and the others stood around in embarrassment.Up till a moment ago, all of them seemed to have seen their life flash before their eyes thanks to Adrian’s murderous intent.***Samantha finally heaved a sigh of relief when they entered the club.For the briefest of moments, she felt that Adrian had turned into a completely different person. So much so that he felt like a complete stranger to her.She turned around to look at him. “Adrian, you have to stay calm next time. Wilfred’s your uncle at the end of the day. Imagine what others will think of you if they hear about what happened?”Samantha was the kind of person who cared very much about reputation. However, Adrian did not care about that in the slightest.“I’m already notorious throughout Swallowston, so I don’t care about any of that. All I care about is that Wilfred pays the price for humiliating you.”Samantha felt helpless for a moment, choosing to not comment on the matter a

    Adrian had many candidates in mind, but one particular person should prove to be of great help to Samantha.Adrian turned to look at Samantha and said, “Riley.”“Riley?”Samantha was really surprised when she heard this name, naturally knowing who Riley was since the woman was a Xander.Although she and Riley had not interacted with each other much, she could tell that Riley was the only one of the Xanders with a decent personality.The fact that Adrian brought up Riley’s name was proof that he acknowledged her.But…“Will she join me though?” Samantha asked in a worried tone.‘Adrian’s been at odds with his family for the longest time, so I doubt Riley will agree to help even if I asked.’Adrian simply smiled and said, “We’ll never know what she’ll say until we try.”‘He’s right. Plus, Riley is indeed a capable woman,’ Samantha thought.Riley had graduated from a reputable university and even learned a thing or two from Henry when she had been under his tutelage.“Should w

    Adrian and Samantha soon arrived at the diner.There were quite a number of patrons that night. They found a table and sat down before Adrian ordered three meals.They waited for a while. Not long after, a BMW parked outside the diner. Riley walked into the diner wearing a pair of shorts and exuded a matured air of beauty.“Riley!” Samantha called out upon spotting her.Riley cracked a smile and walked toward them. She took the seat opposite Adrian and Samantha. “Sam, Adrian, how are both of you doing?”Samantha nodded. “We’re pretty good.”“Great,” Riley said with a smile.Upon saying that, she looked at Adrian who was slurping up his pasta. She wanted to say something yet she could not think of what to say.Adrian beckoned her and said, “Eat up. Otherwise, it’ll get cold.”Riley smiled, picked up her cutlery, and ate.Samantha ate her pasta as well. The three of them did not speak and the atmosphere was growing awkward.It was fortunate that Adrian was around. Samantha wai

    Riley was rather surprised.She had not expected Samantha to have such strong willpower to get back on her feet again after being bullied by the Cowells.On top of that, she had managed to secure investments again.Riley was hesitant as she was faced with Samantha’s sincerity.As she was pondering, Adrian said to her, “You know very well that the Xanders won’t make progress.”Riley knew that her family would not go far. Starting from Harold to the bottom of the family tree, every one of them bore the same stripes.“Riley.” Samantha reached for Riley’s hand with an earnest expression on her face.Riley was struggling deep inside. She realized that this was a chance for her.Soon, Riley nodded heavily. “I accept your offer to join your company, Sam.”Samantha was instantly excited to hear Riley’s remark. She grabbed Riley’s little hand and placed it on her chest.Samantha said, “Riley, let’s work hard together from now on. I believe that it won’t be long until we establish the

    Adrian picked up the call. “Yes?”“Sir, we spotted some Luposians in Southrive today. I secretly looked into them and I speculate that they’re assassins sent by Luposia,” said Daniel.“How many?” asked Adrian.Daniel said, “As of this moment, I’m not too sure. I’m still investigating. Lucas won’t be in Swallowston for the next two days so my advice is to keep a close watch over your wife, sir.”Luposia had always been hostile against Navia. They had lost quite many people in the incessant wars over the past two years. It was highly plausible that they would send assassins to Southrive.As for their motive, Daniel was still trying to figure out if they were sent to assassinate Adrian or Lucas.Adrian said, “Noted. Continue your investigation and notify me immediately if there are any updates.”“Yes, sir.” Daniel hung up the call upon saying that.Meanwhile, Samantha walked out of the bathroom wearing a pale blue-colored nightgown and asked in puzzlement, “Who were you talking to

    Samantha was astonished.She had not expected to receive two thousand computers from Liam of Nine Kings on top of a full set of office furniture from Mandy.Samantha was astounded beyond comparison.“Sam, it seems that Mr. Liam thinks very highly of you. He believes that you’re capable so he wants to help you out. You should quickly thank him and his people,” Adrian urged as he observed the astonishment on her face.Samantha hastily said, “I’m very grateful for Mr. Liam’s gift. Please come upstairs with me and have a cup of coffee. Thank you for taking the trouble to do this, everyone.”The middle-aged man passed a receipt to Samantha. “Thank you, but we’ll skip the coffee, miss. Please sign the receipt so we can head back and report to Mr. Liam.”“Sure thing.” Samantha quickly signed her name on the receipt.The middle-aged man said, “Thank you so much, Ms. Samantha.“Everyone, unload the computers.“Where should we put them, miss?”“You can just place them in the lobby firs

    In their perception, Samantha was solely responsible for Bailar’s bankruptcy.They blamed her for not accepting the general manager position and they refused to take any responsibility for the downfall.Clara and Francis smiled upon hearing that.Yet, it was at this exact moment that Nathan and Hugo ran into the house.Nathan said in an extremely agitated tone, “Mother, Mother, this is bad. Something bad happened. Something really bad!”Nathan and Hugo were extremely agitated and were sweating profusely from running.“Nathan, you’re not young anymore, so why are you shouting? Where’s your sense of propriety?” Violet said angrily upon witnessing the situation.“That’s right, Father. What happened?” Clara raised her head and looked at Nathan as she asked in puzzlement.Nathan inhaled a few deep breaths. He was panting and breathing heavily as he struggled to get the next few words out, “Mother… You… You may not know this but I just received…word that Samantha has opened a new com

    The Daemon Emperor was startled."What is happening? This power..."Formless energy was surging forward, pressuring his nerves and senses.Below, Andy and the others trembled uncontrollably."Who is it?" Finnian stared into the crimson mist.Even Andy was horrified, his gaze locked on the unfolding scene in disbelief, and asked, "What is this? What exactly is happening?" At this moment, Adrian abruptly opened his eyes.Apparently, the Daemon Emperor had once conspired with Adrian's subordinates to ambush him.However, Adrian had managed to annihilate the traitors and sealed this Daemon Emperor. Now, fate had brought them together again."If I killed you once, I can kill you again." Adrian stood tall, his white robes fluttering in the air.The Daemon Emperor was stunned into silence."This is impossible! You're not that mortal boy!""Is that so? In this life, your end has come, and so has the era of the daemons." Adrian's voice was calm yet resolute. He stretched out his han

    Adrian's face hardened at the words. He despised threats above all else. While he understood what the mysterious entity desired, he couldn't yet fully comprehend its implications or find a way to counter it. His only choice was to focus on growing stronger.Within the hot spring, waves of raw, terrifying power surged and crashed violently against Adrian's body.The force, though beneficial, was brutal and overwhelming. Adrian's body struggled to endure, cracking as though it were disintegrating."Arghhh!"A heart-wrenching scream echoed as Adrian's flesh was torn apart and his aura gradually dimmed."Ahhh!"His agonized cries echoed once more. He could no longer withstand the pain.In the distance, a towering figure appeared and sneered. "What's this? Can't take it anymore? Pathetic. Humans are truly the epitome of stupidity."Suddenly, Adrian erupted with an explosive surge of energy, and in that instant, he broke through to the pinnacle of the Void Stage."Hmm? He actually b

    At that moment, the crowd was speechless.Adrian had ascended as if it were the easiest thing in the world.Faced with such a sight, no one could say much beyond admiration. Even if the Holy Son claimed Adrian had cheated, many secretly wished they could cheat the same way.Lacking Adrian's means, all they could do was envy him.Finnian chuckled. "Haha! You really caught us all by surprise, kid. Still, I'll count this as you repaying me a favor."For Finnian, the outcome couldn't have been better. With a broad smile, he seemed to have achieved his desired result. Adrian's successful climb was all that mattered to him.Once Adrian had vanished, the focus shifted to the rest of the group and their trials.When Adrian opened his eyes again, his entire body ached, but an oddly comforting sensation flowed through him. Surveying his surroundings, he realized he was now in a pond."Where am I?" he asked.Though uncertain about the place, Adrian knew he had cleared the trial and arriv

    The onlookers stared in bewilderment, their faces etched with confusion as they struggled to grasp the unfolding events.Meanwhile, Adrian seethed with barely contained rage. This wasn't his first encounter with such torment. Every few steps he ascended, another trial awaited.To Adrian, the relentless punishments felt suffocating. Yet he pressed on—this was the final stretch of the climb. "Adrian, hang in there!" Andy shouted, urging him to conquer the last step. To Andy, reaching that final step symbolized Adrian's growth. He had witnessed Adrian's remarkable resilience countless times and held unwavering faith in his potential. In Andy's eyes, Adrian was destined for greatness. Adrian's expression turned cold as he locked his gaze on the steps ahead. Determination flickered in his eyes. "If reaching the top guarantees a reward, it doesn't have to be me up there. As long as someone makes it, that's enough." With that, he shifted his focus to the void above and formed

    Adrian felt as if every nerve in his body was beyond his control. A deep sense of grievance filled his heart as the divine thunder from the void relentlessly crashed down.Rage surged within him, but under the onslaught of endless forces, he felt weak and constrained.Still, he had no choice but to press forward. He knew victory was within reach if he could endure a little longer—giving up now would mean death.If he fell, the shame and humiliation would crush him.Below, the Holy Son and others waited, eager to see him fail and mock him. This left Adrian no option but to push forward, striving toward the void above and his ultimate goal.The violent forces continued to bombard him from the sky.With every step, the thunder's impact intensified tenfold. His soul, already battered from a fierce battle with a horde of beasts, now felt as though it was dragging his exhausted body forward.Anyone else would likely have succumbed to despair. After all, under such immense pressure, ev

    The oppressive forces descending from the void seemed determined to halt Adrian’s ascent up the staircase.Yet he refused to yield. To him, these overwhelming challenges were merely obstacles to conquer.He pressed forward with relentless determination.Thunderbolts continued to rain down, but the ominous red light from before did not return—a relief, as he never wished to endure its crushing weight again.The memory of that light still haunted him, leaving a lingering sense of helplessness. Its suffocating pressure had drained his strength, reducing him to a gasping, powerless state.Despite the toll on his body and mind, Adrian remained singularly focused on reaching the final step. His burning desire for greater power drove him forward, unwavering and resolute.Step by step, he ascended, reaching the 95th step in what felt like an instant.Only five steps remained. His gaze locked onto the summit, and a wild glint lit his eyes. A daring idea sparked within him, consuming his

    Adrian pondered his situation, his cold gaze reflecting simmering frustration. Yet deep down, he recognized that whoever had designed the staircase was far from ordinary.Creating such a formidable trial required unimaginable power.Even a pinnacle Void Stage expert—or perhaps someone of the Multiply Stage—might bow in reverence before the ladder's creator."He won't last much longer. The divine lightning in this void is utterly destructive. In moments, he'll be reduced to ashes," sneered the Holy Son, his sharp eyes gleaming with malice.To the Holy Son, Adrian's demise was inevitable. Adrian had dared to offend him, and he was certain such audacity could only lead to death.Adrian caught the Holy Son's words and cast him a frosty glare. His intent to kill was unmistakable, though now wasn't the time.The staircase was no place for personal vendettas—eliminating him here would require careful planning.He also knew the Holy Son carried seals of immense power. A reckless move co

    Finnian's sharp gaze reflected a hint of admiration. "Kid, you owe me a big favor this time. You'd better treasure this opportunity."Adrian remained silent, unsure how to respond. His cold eyes revealed no emotion, though he fully grasped the challenges ahead.Fear was a luxury he couldn't afford—he'd come too far to back down now.Suddenly, a streak of red light surged from the void, hurtling toward Adrian with terrifying speed. His eyes widened in shock as the crimson beam struck him, slamming him against the staircase.Caught off guard, Adrian collapsed, sprawled helplessly on the steps.The crowd below watched in astonishment. No one had expected his seemingly indestructible body to be overwhelmed so easily.The Holy Son sneered. "Haha! It seems he's triggered some kind of taboo. Let's see how arrogant he is now!"His voice dripped with schadenfreude, his eyes gleaming with malicious satisfaction as he relished Adrian's struggle.Despite the crushing force, Adrian refused

    "What exactly is up there pulling me so strongly?" Adrian's expression hardened as he pondered the mysterious force drawing him upward.A surge of violent energy erupted across the sky, crashing down like a raging storm.Adrian advanced cautiously, each step deliberate and precise.Gone were the reckless strides of before—now he moved with steely determination, fully aware of the lurking dangers.He'd learned that the void's formidable forces seemed to target him directly, compelling him to proceed step by step. Any attempt to bypass its unseen barriers would provoke a devastating strike."Ridiculous," Adrian muttered. "If I've chosen to climb, nothing will stop me."The void's relentless power intensified.Bolts of thunder hammered down mercilessly, battering Adrian's body. Yet fear never crossed his mind.What was there to be afraid of?To him, the divine thunder wasn't an obstacle—it was a crucible, a tool to temper his body and strengthen his resolve.Despite the storm, A
