The Return of the War Legate Chapter 17
Everyone looked toward Adrian.There was a three-second pause followed by an explosion of laughter.“Haha! Adrian, you trash! You’re such a funny man!” Francis held his stomach as he pointed at Adrian with tears of laughter rolling down his cheeks.All the Cowells laughed uproariously.Simon chastised Adrian, “You said that you were going to get an invitation for the Cowells, but I was the one who ended up getting it. You just love to lie!”Clara added, “You’re so funny. You, the piece of trash, can get Samantha into the investment conference? What a joke!”Adaline closed her eyes because she was speechless. Adrian making an outrageous lie like that would just make everyone laugh at him.Samantha was disappointed again. She felt terrible for leaving Adrian on the streets earlier, but it seemed that he had not learned his lesson.‘Go on. Laugh. I’ll enjoy the look on your faces on that day,’ Adrian thought.The laughter finally stopped, then the Cowells looked at him.Simon sa

In the next few days, the city grew increasingly excited about the Swallow Central investment conference.The legate and his wife became a hot topic.There was then further news that Battle Warrior Lucas was back in Swallowston and Swallow Central was locked down in preparation for the conference.This sent ripples throughout Swallowston.***The day of the conference finally arrived.All the invited corporations and families went to Swallow Central to attend the conference.Every one of them was excited to see the legate and his wife.Samantha did not go to the office that morning but was instead spacing out at home. No one knew what was on her mind.Adrian, on the other hand, had left home early in the morning. Even Samantha had no idea where he had gone.“What’s on your mind, Sam?” Rue saw her spacing out on the couch and asked.Samantha looked at Rue and replied, “Mother, something feels off today. I feel as if something big is going to happen. My eyelid keeps twitching.

Everyone agreed with Nathan. If Samantha was shameless enough, she could get in by pretending to be a Cowell.If she went in with Adrian, they would be so ashamed.Violet rushed to the front desk and asked the receptionist and security guard. “If a woman named Samantha Cowell tries to get in saying that she’s with the Cowell family, do not let her enter.”After they said okay, she went in with the rest of the family. Right before stepping in, she reminded everyone. “Behave yourselves. Everyone here is important.”“Don’t worry, Grandmother. We won’t be humiliated as long as Samantha doesn't get in.” Clara smiled.Violet nodded and went in.***At the conference venue, the rooftop garden.The affluent families of Swallonston were there. All of them were well-known throughout the city.People from the top four families were there too.Two choppers were waiting on both sides of the venue. The legate and his wife would each fly into the venue in one of these choppers.People stan

”He’s here!” “His wife is finally here too!”“I'm finally meeting the legate from my dreams!”Cheers rang throughout the rooftop garden as Adrian and Samantha stepped out of the chopper. Samantha was shaking. Everything that was happening was like a dream. She was still shocked. She finally understood that she was not the CEO of the House of Bailar today, but the wife of the famous war legate. All eyes were on her. She turned around and saw Adrian coming down from the other chopper. He was in military uniform and looked grand—exuding an outstanding demeanor. The venue quieted down after the crew members stepped in. No one spoke but everyone was excitedly looking at Adrian and Samantha. Some of them were even jealous.Samantha turned around and looked toward the crowd. She knew that she was the main character of the day and everyone was there to see her. She did not know why, but tears started rolling down her cheeks. She was crying. Adrian, who was standing next to her

No matter how dumb they were, it was evident what was happening.That was why Adrian said he could get an invite from the legate because he was legate!The Cowells lost their minds. They all did.They stood up and looked at the couple.Hugo said, “Samantha, here! This way! It’s me, your Uncle Hugo!”“Sam, look over here!” Francis waved at her too.Never would they imagine that Adrian was the legate. If they had known, they would not have treated him the way they did.Violet picked up her cane and waved it at Adrian too. “Adrian, Samantha, it’s your grandmother. I’m over here.”The Cowells seemed to have forgotten how they treated Samantha before this and all they wanted to do was to get close to her.However, the couple ignored them.“Mother, we need to speak to Adrian!” Hugo said excitedly.Violet nodded.When the Cowells were going to leave their seats and walk over, they were blocked by the crew members.***Meanwhile, on the Xanders's side.Harold shook. “My grandson

“What?”Samantha’s declaration surprised Adrian.He had done all that to show her that she would always be happy from now on. He was not expecting her to ask for a divorce.“Why, Sam?” he asked.She rubbed her eyes and turned around so he would not see her face.Sensing the atmosphere in the car, Samantha calmed herself down. “I thought about it at the venue. You’re the legate. I’m not good enough for you. You can find someone a thousand times better.”Samantha never expected to suddenly rise in status overnight. She was just a normal woman. How was she to deal with her husband’s sudden revelation of his identity?She did not want any of this. All she wanted was for Adrian to go to work and get home on time every day. That was all.She also thought that she was not good enough for him now. If she stayed with him, she would only hold him back.After hearing this, Adrian sighed. Samantha was not a greedy woman so she might not be able to accept who he was.“I’m sorry for being

Daniel, who was listening in, had mixed feelings.The war legate, a war god on the battlefield, was a gentleman at home.It was very rare for such a thing to happen—being tough when it involved the country’s safety, but soft and loving toward his wife.Daniel spoke again. “Another thing, Ms. Samantha. Since the legate’s identity is top secret and might attract assassins, we’ll be announcing to the public tonight that you were just body doubles to ensure your safety.”“That is important. Otherwise, my husband and I might be assassinated.” Samantha understood.Daniel nodded. “But as a reward, Battle Warrior Lucas has arranged for the House of Bailar to have a spot at Swallow Central.”Samantha was nervous when she heard this, but she was also excited. “General, my company is facing potential bankruptcy. Are you really going to give me a chance?”“I’m certain you’ll be able to save your company as long as you put in the effort. This is the reward for taking a risk and pretending to

“Grandmother, what brings you here?”Samantha immediately stood up when she saw Violet enter.Other than Violet, Nathan, Hugo, and a few others from the family were there too, and they were excited.Violet spoke, “Samantha, do you still hate me? It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have treated you the way I did.”Violet started with an apology, but it felt odd to Samantha, but she suddenly understood what was going on. It was because Violet thought she was the legate’s wife. Violet and the rest did not know the truth yet.“Samantha, we're all sorry. Please forgive us.” Nathan looked at her and was visibly agitated.Hugo spoke up too, “Yes, Samantha. I never would’ve guessed that Adrian was the legate and that you’re the legate’s wife. Please don’t hold a grudge.”The Cowells knew that they had treated Samantha badly. To seem sincere, Violet spoke again, “Samantha, I’ve decided to let you take over the Cowell Group. I won’t be worried if Adrian is helping you.”She then looked toward

The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4795
The crimson divine lightning was an ancient, destructive force, capable of annihilating a person instantly, reducing both body and soul to nothingness.Despite this peril, Adrian stood unfazed, exuding an almost defiant calm that struck onlookers as recklessly suicidal.A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he dismissed Andy's warning.Once Adrian made a decision, others' opinions became meaningless. What mattered was whether his actions aligned with his expectations.Within him, energy began to circulate.The violent crackle of lightning roared through the sky, sending a bone-chilling resonance across the land.Many trembled at the ominous sound.Adrian's expression hardened as his body emitted faint crackling sounds.The crimson lightning's devastating power surged through him, making every cell in his body tremble under its crushing intensity.Yet, despite the searing pain, a glimmer of satisfaction lit his eyes. He knew exactly what needed to be done.Adrian l
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4794
Adrian's face darkened.Spatial fragments hurtling toward him radiated lethal force. On closer inspection, each shard bristled with deadly intent.Terrifying energies erupted, shaking the void as if it might collapse entirely.Below, the Holy Son observed with a cold smirk. "Hahaha! Let's see how you survive this. With the gravitational force on you now exceeding 80,000 units, you're nothing but an overconfident ant."Adrian shot him an icy glance. "Oh? Then you're not even on par with an ant."The Holy Son trembled with fury. He burned with the urge to strike Adrian down.Adrian had become both his greatest humiliation and the demon haunting his heart. Unless he destroyed Adrian, his future ambitions would remain stifled.In the distance, Kurt watched grimly. He hadn't expected Adrian to grow so formidable or to trigger such pivotal events.Adrian's suppression of the Holy Son only confirmed the man's long-held suspicion: Adrian was no ordinary immortal.Now that Adrian had p

The Holy Son cast a cold glance at Andy.Adrian ignored them both, fixing his gaze on the staircase ahead.His focus remained unwavering. Now that one nuisance had been dealt with, he intended to press forward. If he'd been certain he could kill the Holy Son earlier, he wouldn't have hesitated.For Adrian, leaving loose ends was never an option. When he chose to kill, he made sure the deed was done.That was his nature—a man of decisive action. With calm resolve, he resumed his ascent, stepping deliberately and methodically up the heavenly stairs.From below, Andy watched and scoffed. "Haha, I knew Adrian wasn't ordinary. Seems like these so-called elites aren't that impressive after all."The Holy Son glared at Adrian, seething with killing intent.Adrian, however, remained unfazed, his attention fixed elsewhere.Suddenly, he sensed a mysterious force emanating from the clouds above the staircase. It seemed to be calling to him, though its nature was unclear.Meanwhile, Finni
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4792
The Holy Son had never endured such humiliation. In his world, he was always the oppressor—no one dared challenge him.His gaze fixed on Adrian, eyes dark and cold. If looks could kill, Adrian would have perished a thousand times.Before he could react, Adrian's fist crashed into his right shoulder with bone-shattering force.A sickening crack echoed through the air."Ahh!" A scream of agony tore from the Holy Son's throat.In moments, he was defeated.Below, Andy watched the scene unfold, stunned. He'd hoped Adrian would put the arrogant Holy Son in his place, but seeing it happen left him speechless."That's the Holy Son," he muttered in disbelief.Yet in Adrian's hands, he looked like worthless trash.Above, a faint smile tugged at Finnian's lips. "Haha! This kid is truly remarkable. He never stops surprising us."Suddenly, a figure shot down from the clouds—a middle-aged man from Sacred Lunaland. His face darkened as he took in the sight of the humiliated Holy Son sprawle
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4791
A terrifying burst of power erupted outward.At that instant, Adrian launched a powerful punch, meeting his opponent's fist head-on.The clash generated a shockwave, sending sparks flying in every direction.The Holy Son fixed a cold glare on Adrian and roared, "Brat, let's see how you die this time!"He relished the idea of watching Adrian fall, convinced the moment of his enemy's defeat had finally arrived.He intended to hurl Adrian off the staircase, forcing him into a state of utter despair—a fate worse than death.The pressure crushing down on Adrian far exceeded what the Holy Son himself could withstand.The destructive force around them felt capable of pulverizing a mountain into dust.Yet Adrian remained unfazed. A cold, indifferent smile played on his lips. "Is that so? Do you really think you'll win with such petty tricks?"To Adrian, the Holy Son was a mere nuisance. Without his powerful connections, he wouldn't even warrant a passing glance.Had the Holy Son know
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4790
The staircase before Adrian exerted a crushing 60,000 units of force on his body. One misstep could mean total annihilation, scattering his soul into nothingness.The scene left everyone stunned, struggling to grasp what was happening.Andy's face twisted in shock, while the Holy Son radiated fury mixed with lethal intent.Terrifying energies churned through the void as Adrian's gaze sharpened in focused surprise.The immense force bore down on him, cracking his bones with resounding snaps.Thunderbolts struck mercilessly, crashing into Adrian's body with relentless force. Yet he stood unyielding, defiant, disbelief etched on his face.The Holy Son sneered. "This time, you're dead. With lightning and gravity combined, your body will be pulverized."Adrian smirked. "Is that so? Let's see who's really courting death!"With explosive power, Adrian launched a devastating strike, shattering the space before him.The thunder's force meant nothing as he pressed forward, unstoppable,
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4789
Terrifying forces descended from the void, crashing down on Adrian with devastating power. His entire body was caught in the relentless assault.At that moment, Adrian's bones shattered under the overwhelming weight.The force pressing down on him exceeded 60,000 units, surging to a crushing 70,000 units as if the heavens themselves sought to destroy him.The weight was nearly unbearable, threatening to collapse Adrian.Yet, his face remained cold and resolute as he growled, "Hmph! Killing me won't be that easy."As soon as he finished speaking, Adrian's golden fist shot forward.The punch was lightning-fast, shattering the void with earth-shaking force.To his surprise, the gravitational pressure around him lessened considerably. Adrian's eyes flickered—he hadn't expected gravity to be breakable.His expression grew cold and determined. If gravity could be shattered, he wouldn't hold back. Without hesitation, he threw another punch.The wind from his punches roared, obliterat
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4788
In response to the Holy Son's mocking words, Adrian glanced at him.How ridiculous. Did the Holy Son truly think his derision would matter? Did he believe Adrian was incapable?"Is that so?" Adrian retorted coldly, then leaped forward, closing the gap and standing alongside the Holy Son with a single bound.The Holy Son sneered.Adrian attempting to stand shoulder to shoulder with him? Laughable!He felt the gravitational force on Adrian had reached an astonishing 40,000 units, while he was enduring only 30,000 units.If Adrian dared push forward, the force would rise to 60,000 units—a weight even a seasoned body expert would struggle to withstand.One move from the Holy Son, and Adrian would be crushed and thrown off the steps."Adrian, be careful! It's about to reach 60,000 units!" Andy's voice echoed, filled with concern. Adrian's boldness bordered on recklessness.A force of 60,000 units could suppress even the strongest physical experts.The crowd could hardly fathom any
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4787
As soon as Adrian finished speaking, he leaped forward, clearing three steps in a single bound.Below, Andy stood stunned. Adrian's audacity left him speechless.While others climbed step by step, Adrian defied convention, vaulting over multiple steps at once.Andy couldn't help but admire Adrian's remarkable physical resilience.Adrian's strength was beyond comprehension. Even under the relentless pull of gravity, he remained steady, pressing forward.Unbeknownst to Andy, Adrian's body was naturally fortified, absorbing the immense forces with little effect. His physical strength alone could withstand these relentless attacks.A surge of violent energy crashed into Adrian, sending waves of searing pain through his body. The excruciating sensation consumed him."Break!"Adrian gritted his teeth as the overwhelming pressure bore down on him. It felt as though tens of thousands of pounds were hammering his body.The pain was indescribable, yet his expression remained cold and de
