Getting into the car, Hayden sniggered and said, “Tonight is going to be a feast. I assure you that you’ll miss it after having it once.”Mya rolled her eyes at him. “You make it sound like we’ve never had a scrumptious meal before. Do you think of me as a glutton?”“Now, now, don’t say that, Ms. Mya. You might need to take back your words later,” said Hayden. “Hmph!” Mya grunted.Hayden took them on a tour around Bortuton, showing them the city’s beautiful night scenery. Just as he had mentioned, the front doors of the houses here were left wide open. Some houses were left unlocked despite being empty. Though Bortuton was small, the people were virtuous.About half an hour later, they arrived at a single-story house with a small yard built out of wood. The house was brightly lit and there were a few people inside. Hayden stopped the car and turned to the other three. “We’re here. This is where we’ll be having supper.”Gloria said in a troubled tone, “Hayden, it’s not very polit

Maila laughed heartily. Hayden made an invitatory gesture and said, “Come along, everyone.”The three followed Hayden and Maila into the house where dinner was already prepared. Maila’s parents and younger brother were there too, and they welcomed their guests enthusiastically.Just as Hayden said, Bortuguesans were enthusiastic and hospitable, and these values were perfectly embodied by Maila and her family. Adrian, Gloria, and Mya enjoyed a scrumptious feast of Bortugueasan delicacies in Maila’s home, clueless about what was secretly happening in Navia. ***It was late at night in Novemton’s headquarters. Crystal was working in the HQ office as usual when the ten elders and a few of Wyvern Peak’s battle warriors walked in. She was extremely puzzled by their sudden appearance. “Your Majesty, we receive rather urgent information from the border.” A middle-aged man approached and placed a document on Crystal’s table. She paused her task and picked up the document. She said to e

Crystal said, “We’ll handle them, no matter how many come. The most crucial factor right now is that Draco has retired from Wyvern Peak and won’t be bringing everyone together within a short time. The biggest issue Navia faces right now is that there’s no one to lead Wyvern Peak.”“You’re correct about that, Your Majesty.” The second elder nodded. “We’ll need someone as capable as Draco to stand out from Wyvern Peak. It’s the only way to consolidate Wyvern Peak’s power. We’ll try our best to bring forth a new, capable leader through the selection. This is the only way to unite all of Navia and eliminate the crisis of enemy invasion, regardless of their methods.”The crowd nodded. This was the most challenging issue that Wyvern Peak was facing at the moment. It was a challenging issue for Crystal and the country.Suddenly, all the battle warriors stood up.“We’d like to request that the ten elders begin the legate selection early. We’ll select a new legate who is highly respected fo

Everyone quickly left Navia Palace and began preparing for the legate selection. ***Meanwhile, in Bortuguesa, Adrian had finished dinner at Maila’s house. He, Gloria, and Mya left to head back to Lacey’s clinic. It was already twelve midnight by then. Upon their return, Gloria and Mya washed up before retiring to their rooms. Adrian left the women’s room after the two fell asleep. Lacey’s clinic quieted down and closed up. The pharmacists had returned to their rooms as well. Adrian sat in the reception area alone and made himself a cup of coffee. He sipped on it quietly. Other than worrying about Gloria’s health, he had been worried about Navia during his journey to Bortuguesa. The Luposians had discovered his absence, so he was certain that they would do something in light of their stubbornness. He was also worried about the lack of a Wyvern Peak successor who could unite the powers of Wyvern Peak within a short time. The successor would need to be able to gather Wyvern Peak’s

Though no one had ever asked Adrian this question before, he had thought about it countless times. Adrian answered, “You know, it can be difficult to make choices in life at times. For everything you gain, you lose something. For me, there are two people I can’t afford to lose. Gloria’s current situation is because of me, so I can’t give up on her or I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.”Upon hearing his words, Lacey said, “You are right about how it can be difficult to make choices. For everything you gain, you lose something. Gloria sacrificed so much for you at Isle 416, so you shouldn’t abandon her. But on the other hand, Samantha endured hardships for seven years while she waited for your return and kept her chastity for you. You shouldn’t leave her either.”This was exactly what Adrian thought of when he talked about making choices. It was difficult, but as War Legate Draco, he would never abandon anyone. Adrian said, “I’m very grateful that you can see things from my po

Roman was renowned in Serpentshire, and his reputation was known all across Navia. People knew him as a philanthropist, businessman, and author. Adrian could imagine how hopeless Lacey had felt in the past after hearing her rage-filled story. He asked, “What happened after that?”Lacey said coldly, “The attending physician sought a payment of four million five hundred thousand dollars, so we complained to the hospital director and its related departments. We found out that the people in the management were also from the Thompson family. They refused to accept our complaint. They said that they did it on purpose so that the Levees would be eliminated from Serpenshire. If the Levees were gone, no other family could hold back the Thompsons.”Lacey inhaled a deep, shaky breath. Adrian beckoned her to keep talking. “However, our family isn’t one to be messed with. My uncles and aunt made a huge fuss until the related departments had no choice but to step in and handle my grandfather’s

“Nick was the one who persuaded me into helping Gloria. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have treated her.”Adrian said, “I thank you on her behalf.”Lacey shook her head hastily. “You don’t have to thank me, and I won’t thank you either. We’re considered even. The Levees have been doing much better after the Thompsons were eliminated. My grandfather wrote to me and told me that everything is back to normal in the family. He funded the building of one thousand schools across the country and provided financial aid worth thirty million to the poor. He enjoys helping people and loves children. He even adopted more than two thousand orphan children from around the country.”Adrian smiled. “I’ve met your grandfather before. He sent resources to Azure Creek including equipment, food, and clothing during the Battle of Azure Creek. I remember meeting him.”“Grandfather mobilized all his forces and connections, sparing no effort in sending the resources to Azure Creek despite the Thompson family’s opp

Adao nodded hastily. “Yes, Mr. Nicholas. The guests are here and have been waiting for a few days.”Nicholas nodded and walked into the clinic. Meanwhile, Lacey came out of her room. Adrian, Gloria, and Mya were about to get breakfast as well. Everyone spotted the approaching Nicholas.Lacey broke into a smile. She said joyously, “You’re back, you little rascal.” She ran up to him and wrapped her arms around his. Gloria and Mya were puzzled by the sight of this person. Mya said softly, “Is this Nicholas? He does seem rather unique.”Nicholas looked confident yet cold. These qualities made him look different from other men.Noticing Lacey leaning against the man, it went without saying he was her fellow apprentice. “I believe so,” answered Gloria. The two women then observed the couple. Lacey could not refrain from being coy with Nicholas as they had not met in some time. However, Nicholas ignored her and looked toward Adrian instead. Adrian walked over and held out his hand

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?

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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4813
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 Return of the War Legate Chapter 4812
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4809
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
