Adrian arrived in the other room, where Kieran, swollen in the face, was sobbing. He looked pitiful and failed to notice Adrian walking in.

"Ahem!"

Mya cleared her throat, startling Kieran. He hastily got up when he saw who it was and said, "Sir. Ms. Mya.”

Mya sounded a little frustrated as she asked, "Why are you crying like a baby? Do you think you’ll become the legate of Wyvern Peak with that attitude?"

Kieran wiped his tears. "I never once thought of becoming the legate. I came here to fulfill my brother's dream of working here. He always thought of Wyvern Peak as a sacred place where heroes are born."

"Is that so?" Adrian asked.

Kieran said nothing in reply. His eyes were reddened and his face swollen.

"You say you're here to fulfill your brother's dream. Is that why you're in the selection?" Adrian asked.

Still sobbing, Kieran replied, "My brother always dreamed of this. He would watch the news about Wyvern Peak and desperately wanted to stand at the frontlines as a s

    It was common for couples to not work out due to objections from their families. However, Victor’s family had definitely gone overboard if this all proved to be true. If his parents were indeed such people, Wyvern Peak would definitely need to reconsider whether Victor was worthy of joining them."You swear that everything you've told me is nothing but the truth?" Adrian asked. "I swear, sir. My brother will never be able to use his leg again. He can't even find a wife because of his handicap. Victor and his family are at fault that my brother has to live like this. I wouldn’t have taken offense if they had just forced him into leaving Anna, but they broke his leg!""Did you take them to court?" Adrian asked. Kieran took a deep breath. "Yes, we did. But our local authorities couldn’t handle the case, so it was directed to Southrive's Internal Affairs. Victor's family was in cahoots with Internal Affairs at the time, and my parents lost hope of winning. To make matters worse, Vict

    Adrian looked calm when he heard all this, but under his facade was extreme rage. There were many in the world who would twist the laws to cover up their misdeeds. Victor and his parents had clearly committed a heinous crime, yet they managed to gain the upper hand and bully the weak. Victor would be ineligible to participate in the selection because of this, but he was still there. So the question now was, how did he get in?"Something’s wrong. Victor should never have gained admission to Southrive University. Who sent him to the selection venue?" Adrian asked."I did a quick check and found that it was Wayne Tolken from Southrive's Battle Warrior Department who brought him here. Wayne used to work for Chase, and it's possible that Crystal missed out on this fact before hiring him. I smell something fishy about him.""I see." Adrian looked up and continued, "Have Wayne here by five in the afternoon tomorrow. I'll interrogate him myself. To have insulted the selection, he's playin

    Still yelling at the top of her lungs, Reena continued, "We'll sue War Legate Draco in the courts of Novemton if he doesn't give us an explanation this instant! We've got all the money to hire the best lawyers! I'll pay whatever amount necessary!" To Reena, everything could be solved with money. They managed to get people to break Connie's leg without having to get personally involved by lining the appropriate pockets. And through using money, they also managed to sure Connie's parents for seventy thousand dollars.Neither Reena nor Wesley seemed to care about War Legate Draco's authority. They thought they would be able to force him to step down from his position if they paid off the media and started rumors on the Internet. At that moment, Mya walked out and said, "War Legate Draco has summoned all of you. Follow me." Reena and Wesley hastily followed Mya inside, while Anna helplessly trailed after them.***Adrian, sitting in his office, suddenly heard someone yelling, "War

    When Reena tried to switch topics, Mya called her out and embarrassed her. Instantly, she said, "War Legate Draco, we're here to discuss about my son being beaten up, not who my daughter knows or doesn't know. I know this is Wyvern Peak's territory, but you won’t protect the assailant, will you?"She tried to pressure Adrian into playing to her tune for the sake of her son, who was her everything. Wesley added, "Sir, Wyvern Peak should be held responsible for my son being beaten up. According to the rules, we deserve an explanation for the matter."The couple were using Wyvern Peak's rules to keep Adrian in check. However, they had no idea that their actions made them even more laughable. "You two should—" Mya went up to stop the rude couple from speaking any further, but Adrian raised his hand to stop her. He turned toward Reena and asked, "Tell me, Mdm. Reena, what sort of resolution are you expecting from Wyvern Peak over this matter?""I’ve already told you, I want the ass

    Smack!Mya gave Reena a slap the moment the latter spoke. Reena was left dumbfounded, and the same went for Wesley. "I'm only going to say this one more time, so stop testing my patience. Shut your mouth until War Legate Draco speaks to you.” Mya sounded chillingly cold when she spoke.Reena started crying out, "She hit me! Wyvern Peak is a bunch of bullies who lay their hands on old and harmless citizens! Somebody, help me! Help me! They're going to kill me!" She sat on the floor and yelled at the top of her lungs, intending to attract a crowd. Mya said upon realizing what Reena was up to, "No one will come no matter how loud you scream. The most powerful person in Novemton is standing right here. It’s within our rights to execute you for simply disobeying our orders. Don't say I didn't warn you."Reena trembled when she heard this menacing warning. Everyone here worked for Wyvern Peak, so it was impossible for anyone to come to her aid no matter how much she yelled. Fear gripp

    They were being put under the microscope, but Reena was somehow able to make herself and her family the victims.With all the time in the world, Adrian replied, "So you're now saying that Kieran has falsely accused you, is that right?""Y-Yeah! That's right!" Adrian nodded. "I see. One last thing then. Please confirm that everything you've said to me is true.""I… I…" Reena hesitated for a moment before blushing profusely. Clearing her throat, she said, "Of course, it’s all true. That little brat is falsely accusing us. We don't have a grudge against Connie, so why would we break his leg?"Adrian turned toward Wesley. "What about you? Are you going to stick with your wife’s story?"Wesley, too, hesitated for a while before saying, "Yes, sir. We have absolutely nothing to do with what happened to Connie. They're accusing us because Connie's love for Anna turned into hatred after they broke up." Adrian nodded once more. "I'm sure you both understand that this matter is now relat

    "No matter.” Adrian gestured toward Anna. "You read it then. Remember that you're no longer a child, so don't let a bad decision ruin your life forever."Anna read out the words in the file, "Victor Hasting. Healthy with no recorded illnesses, heart conditions, contagious viruses, or chronic diseases. No scars were found, excelled in the physical test, and no inherent deficiencies or conditions were detected. Pass."After she finished reading, Anna stared at Adrian, who turned toward Reena. "So, tell me, Mdm. Reena. Is the profile in my hands wrong, or did you and your husband give us false information? If the profile is wrong, the person who prepared it will be executed after this is over. However, if you two are the ones who gave us false information, it would indicate that you two are hiding something. I wonder which it is?"The couple panicked and were unable to find the words to say.Adrian, having no plans to let them explain themselves, said, "I've asked Southrive headquarte

    Reena and Wesley were dumbfounded by how determined Adrian was. "I-I…" She could not utter a single word and thoroughly regretted her decision to cause a scene with War Legate Draco. She pleaded, "Please, sir. We truly want to drop this matter. Please look past all this and find it in your heart to let it go?"Adrian smiled. "Mdm. Reena, nobody would've paid any attention to this if you hadn't come here and caused such a huge commotion. Do you have any idea what the media will write about me if they don't get a conclusive resolution?”"But I…""You should calm down. You seemed very sure of yourself when you said you had nothing to do with Connie's broken leg, so there's nothing for you to be afraid of. We'll find out the truth when Wayne and Roland get here tomorrow.”Adrian turned toward Mya and continued, "Oh, I almost forgot. Please inform the Battle Warrior Department to have Connie and his parents flown here in a helicopter.”"Yes, sir,” Mya replied.Adrian then stood up a

    The scene was utterly horrifying, a sight that would chill anyone to the bone.Renee’s expression turned cold.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!It was as if a violent gale was tearing through the area.Renee's expression was laced with murderous intent, waves of killing intent radiating from her. Despite borrowing Adrian’s power, she was uncertain of how much longer she could hold out. Although she could sense the fluctuations of his power, her body was already reaching its limit under the relentless assault of this endless, divine thunderstorm.While the power itself wasn’t an issue, her physical body wasn’t as sturdy as Adrian's. The unending barrage of divine lightning combined with the might of the formation made her feel excruciatingly uncomfortable.As for Adrian, his hands were covered in countless afterimages which were actually the results of him deducing the formation. Renee was utterly shocked. She had witnessed Ciawales formation experts deducing formations before, but that wa

    Adrian was truly astonishing. If Renee failed to protect him properly, the mysterious forces within the formation could strike him down, leading to his death and obliteration. The thought weighed heavily on her, filling her with worry. Despite her capabilities, Renee doubted her ability to safeguard Adrian who possessed overwhelming power far beyond her own. He probably had three times her strength.Feeling helpless, she said, "I'm afraid I might not be able to protect you. If something goes wrong, we could both end up buried here."Adrian responded coldly, "Don’t worry about that. If I asked you to help, it’s because I’m confident." He then commanded, "Begin." He waved his hand, and a grand formation materialized in the void. He instructed, "Step into the center, Renee. This formation will enhance your strength by allowing my power to flow through you.""What?" Renee was stunned, her eyes filled with shock. She couldn’t believe Adrian’s abilities were so vast.

The sheer force was both intimidating and terrifying.Boom!“Go to hell!” he shouted.Boom, boom, boom!A terrifying wave of power exploded forth. A yellowish aura emanated from Adrian's hand, catching Renee’s attention. Her eyes widened in surprise."What kind of power is this? Why does it feel so powerful?

The scene was overwhelmingly frightening.Crack, crack, crack!Suddenly, the space around them collided and

    Adrian hadn’t anticipated that there would be a formation awaiting them up ahead. This certainly added a layer of danger. Whoever had set this up was quite cunning.Renee glanced around, her eyes filled with surprise. It was clear this wasn’t an ordinary formation.“The formation around us is rumored to be an ancient one. It’s said to be extremely terrifying, capable of unleashing boundless power if we’re not careful,” she warned, her gaze fixed intently on their surroundings.Adrian paused for a moment, slightly taken aback. An ancient formation, was it? It sounded formidable. It seemed that the place they had entered was far from simple.He scrutinized their surroundings without a hint of panic or anxiety. Instead, his eyes flashed with a sharp killing intent.Boom!Before Adrian could make a move, the formation began to activate. White lights surged from all directions like an unstoppable tide. He and Renee were now trapped within a confined space.Boom, boom, boom!Violent

But for Adrian, they were the perfect nourishment to temper his body.Boom, boom, boom!The terrifying energy rippled through the sky, causing the entire world to tremble. It was a fearsome sight. The unending waves of power distorted the air, making the scene look unimaginably frightening.Crackle, crackle, crackle!Inside the heart of the storm, Adrian stood still, allowing the lightning to strike him mercilessly. It was a shocking sight. Renee watched, frozen in disbelief.‘What is he doing? Will he die? And if he does… What will happen to me?’ Renee felt a strange pang of sorrow.Unconsciously, she realized she had become deeply concerned about Adrian. Although he had called her his servant on this journey, he had always treated her with re

    When Adrian spoke, Renee was left speechless. This guy was truly exasperating. The fluctuation of the mysterious force was known to be deadly. Many powerful warriors had perished here. It was a notorious region where even the strongest could meet their end.Boom, boom, boom!Up ahead, waves of energy surged violently. Renee’s eyes widened in shock as she watched Adrian’s calm expression. This man was either insanely brave or utterly reckless.It seemed Adrian’s luck wasn’t the best as the mysterious force had become active. Normally, if the force remained dormant, they could safely pass through. However, when it stirred, everything would be thrown into chaos.Crackle, crackle, crackle!Suddenly, countless bolts of lightning appeared in the air, writhing like serpents. The crackling energy split the sky and thunder boomed, filling the surroundings with terrifying, earth-shaking power.Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!The energy tore through the sky, causing the world around them to trembl

Their speed was astounding, and Renee watched the landscape blur by, her eyes filled with astonishment. She couldn’t fathom Adrian’s incredible strength. Even while dragging her along, he moved with the swiftness of a warrior at the Integration Stage.“Up ahead is Death Valley. We need to slow down. They say you can’t fly here or the mysterious force within will strike you down instantly,” Renee quickly warned Adrian.Adrian paused briefly, then chuckled calmly. “Oh? Is that so? How interesting.”This was the first time Adrian had heard of such a dangerous place. Although he found it intriguing, his expression turned serious and he decided to land. However, he didn’t remain idle. He immediately raised his hand and unleashed a strike toward the sky.Whoosh!A surge of wild power erupted, piercing the heavens. The energy was so intense that it see

    “Feeling calmer now?” Adrian asked with a faint smile as he looked at the Azure Naga. This creature was clearly seeking its death. Now, under Adrian’s relentless assault, it was suffering immensely.The Azure Naga’s furious roars echoed through the air, sounding terrifying. The once-mighty beast now appeared pitiful, its entire body battered and broken, with no intact parts remaining.Renee couldn’t bear to watch and covered her eyes. The naga’s fate was too tragic. Adrian, who now seemed like a daemon incarnate, had tortured the creature to within an inch of its life.“Die!” With a swing of his sword, Adrian unleashed a strike that tore through the sky, obliterating everything in its path. The sword’s force was like a radiant rainbow, cutting through heaven and earth.Renee stood in stunned silence, unable to comprehend how Adrian could accomplish such a feat. His power was simply too frightening.Boom!The energy surged and pierced the heavens. The sword strike sliced through

    Adrian’s punch was ferocious beyond measure, and the enormous beast before him radiated a terrifying power, looking incredibly fearsome.Boom!The immense force surged through the air. Adrian’s expression remained calm and indifferent. To him, this Azure Naga was simply courting death. Despite being on a similar level of strength, the beast relied on its status as a monster, believing itself invincibly powerful. It underestimated humans, which would be its fatal mistake.In the human world, not all were physically formidable, but there was always someone stronger than the last. Adrian was an anomaly, and the Azure Naga was destined to suffer for its arrogance.Thud, thud, thud!The massive naga was sent flying by Adrian’s strike, crashing heavily into the distance, looking pitiful and battered. The naga’s enormous eyes widened in disbelief. It couldn’t fathom Adrian striking it down so easily. It realized it was utterly powerless before this human.Adrian didn’t let up and presse
