The Return of the War Legate Chapter 135
Samantha was shocked when she heard this.She quietly looked at Adrian, not expecting things to have ended up the way they had.Samantha was terrified as she drove to campus that she had not thought about doing what Adrian had done.However, to her, things were probably not as simple as they seemed.‘Adrian’s probably the one who called them here.’Hearing this, Samantha smiled and said, “Looks like you really do have a few tricks up your sleeve. I completely forgot about that plan, It’s no wonder you were so calm earlier.”“Nobody could possibly behave so arrogantly and get away with it,” Adrian said.“Sam, could you wait for me over there for a moment, please? There are a few things I’d like to say to Ada alone. She’s going to get a stern lecture from me today.”Samantha sighed. She, too, thought that Adaline had behaved recklessly.‘She shouldn’t have raised her hand at Dylan, no matter how overboard he had been with her.‘What would she have done if Dylan had retaliated r

Adrian made no further comment after he was done briefing them.Mya recognized Suzy and Shiloh’s fighting skills, and it was Adrian's first time showing such meticulous care to Adaline.And the whole time, Adaline was at a loss for words.***Adrian assigned Suzy and Shiloh to stay while Mya made arrangements for other affairs.Adrian found Samantha sitting on a bench on the field.Noticing Adrian’s arrival, she stood up and said, “What did you say to Ada? Why won’t you let me listen?”Adrian smiled and answered, “If you were there, she’d feel like you’re on her side. Hence, I sent you away so I could reprimand her properly.”Samantha did not comment further because she knew that Adrian did it because he cared for Adaline.They then left Swallowston University.Upon arriving home, they found Rue growing restless.She hastily ran to them when she spotted them. “Adrian, Sam, how’s everything? Is Ada okay?”“Don’t worry, Mother. It’s been dealt with,” said Adrian while nodding

Something happened at Xander Manor this afternoon that excited all the Xanders.Harold was sitting at home when Leonard walked into the house in excitement. “Father, the heir of Southrive’s River family, Jaden, is here in Swallowston. I’ve invited him to our home.”Harold immediately raised his head upon hearing that. “Are you serious, Leonard? You managed to invite Jaden to our home?”Harold was beyond excited.The River family was listed as the most influential family in Southrive.Back in those years, Harold and the patriarch of the Rivers had been acquaintances. Afterward, the Rivers grew more powerful and Harold failed to keep in touch with him because Harold was beneath their level.He had not expected Leonard would successfully invite Jaden to their home.Meanwhile, the Xanders rushed into the house as Wilfred announced, “Father, Mr. Jaden is here!”A young man wearing a suit walked into the house.Noticing the situation, Harold hastily stood up and said, “You’re here,

Jaden had yet to state his stand clearly when Harold eagerly expressed his willingness to collaborate.The other Xanders chimed in.Leonard said, “Mr. Jaden, you should invest in the Xander Group. We’ll devote our full efforts to helping you stabilize your influence in Swallowston.”Wilfred said, “That’s right, Mr. Jaden. The Xander Group is the wisest choice.”The rest of the Xanders talked all at once.Jaden pretended as if he was troubled for a moment, then said, “Do you really want me to invest in the Xander Group, Mr. Harold?”“Jaden, your grandfather and I are old acquaintances. You’re here to expand your company in Swallowston so I want to help you out of respect for him,” said Harold nonchalantly.Jaden fell silent for a long while upon hearing that. Then, he nodded heavily and said, “All right then, if you say so. If you insist, I will obey and invest in the Xander Group.“Starting today, the Rivers shall lead the Xander Group to become the largest enterprise in Swallo

Harold said, “The person who invested in Samantha’s company is the president of Swallowston Bank, Amanda Cole.”Jaden chuckled and said, “Swallowston Bank, huh? That’s nothing to my family.”This was precisely what Harold wanted to hear.No one from Swallowston dared to claim to be the boss of Southrive.No one from a small place like Swallowston dared to speak before Southrive’s influential families spoke.“However, Adrian’s wife is quite pretty. Samantha Cowell is the most beautiful woman in Swallowston. It’ll be nice if I get to fool around with her.” Jaden smirked.“Hahaha!” Leonard burst out laughing upon hearing this.Adrian’s wife was one of the most beautiful women in Swallowston indeed.As soon as Jaden’s voice died away, a voice was heard saying, “I bet you don’t know this, Mr. Jaden. In truth, Samantha has yet to sleep with Adrian. You have my full support if you wish to bed her.”Cedric limped his way into the house with crutches and proclaimed this with a sneer on

The Xanders made up their minds.After that, Leonard, Wilfred, Cedric, and others began to ferociously propagate the news that the Xander Group was about to merge with Southrive’s River Group to become the River Group’s branch company in Swallowston.One could say that the Xanders exaggerated the information substantially.To publicize to all of Swallowston, Leonard even held a press conference to get the information on the business news headlines.The effect achieved was within the Xanders’ expectations.Following the spread of the information, almost everyone in Swallowston soon learned about the merger.***At night, Samantha returned home after she was done handling the affairs of tomorrow’s opening ceremony.Meanwhile, Rue and Adrian were having dinner together.Samantha learned about the Xanders receiving an investment from Southrive’s River Group and found it incredulous.She said, “Adrian, is your grandfather a fool?“Oops, sorry for my choice of words, but you have

Rue understood all of the Xanders very well.It was a waste that Henry had passed away at such a young age.Samantha said, “You’re right about my uncles-in-law being idiots. All they do is be angry and scold people all day long. On the other hand, their sons, Cedric and Jacob, are always stealing money from the company so they can spend it on partying with women.”In truth, that was something Samantha had wanted to say all this time. However, she found it inappropriate to say in the past when Adrian was not around.She continued, “I really can’t figure out why my father-in-law is so outstanding while his two older brothers are so useless. Moreover, their sons are even worse.”Rue chuckled upon hearing that.She glanced at Samantha and said, “Sam, Henry inherited his mother’s talents and willingness to work hard. On the other hand, your uncles-in-law inherited their father’s laziness.“You have no idea how lazy Harold was in the beginning. I heard from Henry that your grandmother

Adrian hung up the phone and took a shower before retiring to his room.Adaline was the previous occupant of this but it was now his.He had only laid on the bed for a few short minutes before his phone rang again.The call came from Gorgonshire’s Battle Warrior Skylar.“Sir.” Adrian heard Skylar’s voice as soon as he picked up the phone.Navia was guarded by nine battle warriors. Skylar managed the Northrive zone and he shared a reputation as celebrated as Battle Warrior Lucas.Adrian had trained Skylar singlehandedly too.Adrian said, “Have you looked into the matter that I tasked you with?”Skylar said, “I sent someone to pay a visit to Northrive’s Hart family earlier to inquire about them. You’re right, they had an heiress who married a Xander and moved to Southrive.“That man is your grandfather, Harold Xander.”It was just as Adrian had speculated. His grandmother, Layla, originated from a rather influential family indeed.Adrian asked, “What was the name she went by w

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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4814
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4811
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4808
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4807
"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
