The next morning, Samantha woke up early for New Paraiso’s opening ceremony.

Samantha spent a little over an hour getting ready, donning a formal business suit with high heels. She looked alluring, mature, and charming.

She also applied eyeshadow on her eyelids and lipstick on her lips, which was rare.

Samantha looked extremely enticing and breathlessly beautiful.

“Are you done getting ready, Adrian? Let’s eat on the way over. It will be a busy day at the company, and we should leave soon,” Samantha smiled and said to Adrian as soon as he stepped out of his room.

Adrian glanced at Samantha and was enthralled by her.

Her long legs were glistening with a seductive glossy sheen under her skirt and Adrian could not refrain himself from taking a few extra glances.

“Do I look good?” Samantha asked.

She spread her arms and spun around in front of Adrian on purpose.

He smiled and said, “My wife is beautiful. She’s exquisite.”

Samantha sniggered and said to Rue who just got out of her

    Samantha realized she was no longer able to figure out Adrian’s thoughts.Still, she chose not to think too much since time was of the essence.Instead, she brought Rue with her to New Paraiso’s official opening ceremony.***Meanwhile, Adrian had someone deliver him a car so that he could drive over to Swallowston Cemetery.The area was rather quiet, seeing how it was in the suburbs.The cemetery was not luxurious per se, but it was the place where Layla Hart, Adrian’s grandmother, rested.Adrian did not know much about Layla’s life, but from what he knew, she was born into the Hart family—a wealthy family in Northrive. She had gone through life with a silver spoon in her mouth, receiving the best education possible.When Layla grew up, she became not only the most beautiful woman in Northrive but a learned one.Perhaps it was during the later years of her life that she crossed paths with Harold and got together with her.Despite her family’s objections, Layla went on to mar

    Adrian said, “Grandmother, Father, it’s been seven years since I last visited. I’m sorry I didn’t come sooner. Too many things have happened ever since you two left.”Too many unexpected things had happened to Adrian over the past seven years, and now that he was able to see the people he wanted, they were no longer around.Adrian reminisced about the past and felt nostalgic. Yet, unfortunately, those times would never return.He recalled how his father was a kind-hearted man who always taught him to be a normal man when he grew up.Adrian shook his head and smiled when he thought about this. “Father, I remember how you always told me to be a man who contributed to society when I was little.“Well, I’ve come here today to tell you that I’ve done it.”With a smile, Adrian took out a medallion and five rings from his pocket.The medallion had the words “War Legate” carved onto it.“This is the War Legate Medallion, the most powerful item in all of Navia. With this, I’m able to co

    Elara weaved through the crowd, found Samantha, and said, “Ms. Samantha, the Xanders are here.”“What?”Samantha had a slight frown on her face when she heard this. She had not expected the Xanders to show up today.Mandy could tell Samantha was concerned, so she stood up and asked, “Is something the matter, Sam?”Samantha took a deep breath. She genuinely did not wish to see Harold and the others ruin her joyous event, but she had no choice but to welcome them since she was their daughter-in-law.She could only pray that they were not here to ruin the party.Hence, she replied, “I’m worried they might be here to cause a scene.”The moment Mandy and Liam looked at each other, someone furiously yelled, “Have you no respect for your grandfather anymore, Samantha?! How could you not invite us to your company’s opening?!”It was Leonard who had yelled. Next to him, Harold, Wilfred, Cedric, Jacob, and Cecilia marched into the main hall, all of them with furious expressions on their

    Samantha could tell from Wilfred’s tone.Harold was the one who conspired from behind the scenes to have Adrian sent to the army as border patrol to take Paraiso away from him.But now, Wilfred was making it sound like she was trying to take Paraiso for herself, while they were taking care of it on Henry’s behalf to protect the company.How were they any different from crooks?Samantha’s face was filled with tears, never expecting the Xanders to twist the truth to this extent, which was causing the people in the main hall to gossip wildly.Seeing this, Leonard said, “Everyone, Samantha only married Adrian for my younger brother’s wealth. She had my brother killed right after she married into the family and even tried to take Paraiso.“Paraiso belonged to my younger brother, which means it belongs to the Xanders, which is why we took it on his behalf. But now, she’s trying to use Adrian to take away our property!”Leonard shamelessly portrayed Samantha as an ungrateful imbecile.

    It was against the law to accuse someone of murder…The Xanders were stunned when they heard this.They all exchanged looks for a moment, completely unrealizing they had taken things a little too far.And now, they felt extremely awkward thanks to Mandy’s reminder.At that moment, Mandy took out her cell phone and said, “You have some time to rearrange your thoughts and confirm whether it was indeed Sam who got Henry killed.“If you stick to your guns, I’ll inform the police right away and have the Battle Warrior Department arrest her. However, if she’s proven innocent after the investigation is over, you will all be sentenced to five years in prison at least.“So, what’s it going to be?”Mandy shot a glance at the Xanders as she clenched her cell phone.None of the Xanders were able to utter a word through their embarrassed expressions.Harold suddenly said, “My sons went a little in over their heads, Ms. Mandy. Samantha wasn’t the one who got my son killed. She’s innocent.”

    Despite how invincible Cedric thought he was, someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stopped him before he could lay his hand on Mandy.What followed right after was a muffled sound and a loud crack, followed by Cedric’s horrified scream as he was sent flying. In that instant, his hips and ribs fractured as he crashed against a table.When he landed on the ground, he had his hand on his hips as his mouth widened in shock.He was in so much pain that he could not even say a word as his body trembled uncontrollably. In fact, he felt as though he was about to pass out from the endless pain.“Father… Father!” Cedric forced himself to yell out. He gasped for air as tears flooded his cheeks.Instantly, all the Xanders were stunned.After Cedric was sent flying, everyone could clearly see Adrian was now standing before Mandy and Samantha.Samantha immediately felt a lump rise up to her chest, while Mandy heaved a sigh of relief.“Adrian, y-you… You ungrateful piece of sh*t!

    Daniel’s appearance caused a commotion to break out in the main hall.Everyone pointed at the Xanders and discussed among themselves.None of the Xanders could have ever thought the Battle Warrior Department would show up over something so meager. Every single one of them quietly left the place without making a scene, none of them daring to utter a single word in the process.Very soon, they were all out of the main hall, and Samantha was finally able to heave a long sigh of relief as though a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.Adrian then walked over and grabbed her hand. “Are you all right, Sam?”Samantha shook her head. ‘Thank goodness he arrived just in time. Otherwise, Mandy would’ve ended up taking that slap for me.’“I’m all right now. What are you doing here? Didn’t you say you have something to do?” Samantha asked.‘I came as soon as I was done.”Then, Adrian turned to Mandy and said, “Thank you for everything you’ve done today, Mandy.”Mandy shot a smile

    Violet loved hearing news about Samantha.Especially if it was bad news.She raised her head and asked, “Is this true, Nathan? Did something really happen during her opening ceremony?”Hugo replied, “Harold Xander brought his entire family and rained on her parade. They even accused her of being the one behind Henry’s death.“But in the end, Adrian broke Cedric’s ribs and the Battle Warrior Department arrived at the scene. The whole Xander family got kicked out after that.”Violet inhaled sharply when she heard this.‘Adrian broke Cedric’s ribs?‘That’s brutal, and they’re cousins!’Shocked, Violet asked, “Did Adrian really do something so ruthless?”Hugo replied, “That’s not the worst part of it. I heard he broke both Cedric's and Jacob’s legs a few days ago. And now, Cedric got his ribs broken before his legs even healed.“Adrian’s a violent madman!”Hearing this, Violet said, “I want you to inform everyone in our family right away. None of them are allowed to do anything

    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? I’ve never seen anything like it before," Renee muttered in astonishment. Despite her vast knowledge, she had never encountered such a force.Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!The arcane power in Adrian’s hand rapidly sliced through the air, tearing apart the air itself. 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

    Adrian had rushed into the lightning storm, not because of recklessness or a desire to play the hero. The truth was simpler—he wanted to become even stronger.These lightning bolts might represent a deadly force to others, a hellish trap. 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
