The Return of the War Legate Chapter 2014
This was all Sebastian's work, and the majordomo was being used to raise someone else's son. Of course, Adrian was saddened by such an outrageous act."Anyone else?" he asked.A group of women rushed forward, tears streaming down their faces. "I gave birth to a daughter.""I had twins, a boy and a girl.""I had two daughters."Gazing at the crowd, Adrian saw dozens of people and was amused by how Sebastian had played around with almost all of the household’s maids.Claude had wanted to arrange a grand funeral for his uncle since the man had raised him. But seeing this scene, all he wanted to do now was bury Sebastian hastily."Why didn't you tell me earlier?" he asked the head chef."What's the point? The head chef rolled her eyes. "You're just living off someone else, which is even worse than myself."Adrian could not stand it anymore. "If my guess is correct, you were the one who willingly approached Sebastian, so why are you doing this now?" "Who doesn't want a better l

"Why didn't you say so earlier?!" Adrian jumped up, wondering if he had wrongly accused Sebastian.Lionel rubbed his nose. "You didn't ask. Besides, I don't like to meddle in others' private affairs. Sebastian and May did have an affair, and they should be punished."Axel, curious, exclaimed, "Wow! I thought May was a decent woman, but I never imagined she’d cheat on Sebastian.""Enough," Lionel interrupted, realizing the turn of the conversation. "They’re already dead, so let's respect the deceased."Adrian frowned, contemplating Lionel's accurate judgment. If the children were not Sebastian's, whose children were they?"Strange…" he muttered."What's the matter?" Rozi, just coming from Grisha's side, asked Adrian upon hearing his comment.Before Adrian could respond, Joe appeared and said, "Mr. Adrian, you need to come outside. It's chaos out there, and Sir Claude can't handle it."Adrian knew it would turn out this way. Those women were up to no good and would certainly try

Claude did not mind how others perceived him, as long as Adrian did not think he was inhospitable. He and Axel personally grew and picked their medicinal herbs, not wanting to rely on others and also fearing theft of their secrets. "Of course, sir," he said.The head chef regretted her actions. Her family depended on Medicis Manor for their livelihood and had benefited greatly from it, so leaving the place was a painful thought. Out of options, she decided to start a scene."No!" She collapsed on the ground, crying bitterly. "You people are so heartless! You've taken advantage of me, and now you're kicking me out! I swear I’ll make you all pay for this!"The other women joined her, wailing and refusing to give up. They rushed toward Adrian, hoping to encircle him and repeat their earlier tactic. "We won't give up!" they cried, "These children are part of the Biggs family. Take responsibility for them!" Adrian became anxious. Fearing a worse fate than Claude's if these women co

Thud!Lucien stumbled and fell, flailing helplessly. He landed face-first, much to the amusement of the onlookers. The villagers, having suffered under Lucien's mistreatment, relished in Adrian's intervention. They cheered and laughed at Lucien's fall.Thoroughly embarrassed, Lucien quickly got up and left with his family, vowing revenge against the onlookers. With him and his family gone, the crowd lost its leader. Since the children were not Sebastian's, their arguments lost ground. The male servants reluctantly left with their wives.Claude, not feeling victorious, said to Adrian, "I've been busy growing medicinal herbs and helping the locals with medical needs so much I’ve neglected to manage Medicis Manor."Adrian answered reassuringly, "You don't have to explain yourself to me. This place is in need of help right now, so why don't we ask the surrounding villagers to help out?"Claude walked toward the crowd and was immediately recognized. When the villagers heard that the ma

Adrian and the others had a pleasant dinner. Everyone was in good spirits, especially Lionel, who was particularly interested in Axel's medicinal herbs. Despite the darkness, he went out to the field to inspect the plants.After dinner, while Adrian was enjoying a cup of tea, Joe rushed over with alarming news."The former butler heard about Hendrick taking over his position and is on his way to teach Hendrick a lesson right now!" he reported.‘Damn it!’ Adrian recognized the gravity of the situation and knew he had underestimated Lucien.Sebastian was the kind of man who would fool around from dusk till dawn without any care for the manor. Instead, it was Lucien who was in control of everything. It was highly likely that he did not dare seek his revenge on Claude after being chased away by Adrian. However, since he had not been able to gain anything from it, he was going to have his revenge on the villagers. "Take me to Hendrick's place!" Adrian said.Marissa tagged along. Rozi

Bam! Lucien saw the door of the neighboring fly open. He instantly dropped his weapon and ran off. Claude stepped forward, taking out a balm as he said, “Here's some medicine for your bruises, madam. Apply it to your body, and it should relieve the pain. If you still feel unwell tomorrow, come find me at Medicis Manor.”The old woman was immensely grateful. A man who had just come out of the house saw Adrian and, mistaking him for the attacker, grabbed Adrian by the collar.The old lady shouted, “He's not the one who hit me, you idiot! Let him go!” The man’s fist froze in mid-air and looked at Adrian suspiciously. “Who is he? I don't recognize him.”“This is Adrian and a friend of mine," Claude said smilingly, “Stop messing around, Wilmer. Adrian’s a good person, so you shouldn't be laying your hands on him."Wilmer Pullman immediately apologized and asked, “Aren't you the guy who fired Lucien?”“I am,” Adrian said, straightening his clothes. “You have a problem with that?”

“I’m a messenger your sister sent," Adrian said calmly. "Lucien isn’t a good person, and he’ll surely trouble you again. It’s best if you head back to Medicis Manor."A woman's head peeked out from behind Hendrick. "My husband has never managed an estate. He has only ever handled straightforward tasks. I fear he may not be up for the job.""How are you managing your own household?" Adrian asked softly.Hendrick nodded as he lit up a homemade cigar. "Pretty well. My house is in good order and we live a prosperous life, though I'm a bit stubborn."Claude was delighted. "I hate managing trivial matters. If you're willing, you can treat Medicis Manor as your own home."“Really?” Hendrick hesitated. He could not believe such good fortune had fallen into his lap. Claude's offer to make him Medicis Manor’s majordomo must come with a motive—perhaps it was out of respect for his brother-in-law.Adrian, sensing Hendrick's interest, urged, "You should make up your mind quickly. There are se

Lucien froze in his tracks. Having been on the receiving end of Adrian's wrath, he was well aware that Adrian was not one to be trifled with. He cast a glance at the burly man, hoping the latter would intervene.Sure enough, the burly man’s expression darkened. "You bullied my cousin and now attempt to shift blame onto him. Tsk! What absurdity!""Josh is right!" Lucien immediately adopted an arrogant tone. "Absolutely absurd!"At this, both erupted into raucous laughter. "Hahahaha!"Smack! Smack!Unable to tolerate their arrogance, Marissa charged forward and slapped them both.Josh, Lucien’s cousin, was caught off guard, and his expression instantly turned ferocious. He retrieved a whip from his belt and flicked it toward Marissa.Swish! Swish!Marissa quickly stepped back, knowing she was no match for Josh. She had not predicted this attack at all.Josh’s attack missed its target, cracking against the ground and creating fissures that reached Adrian's feet.Adrian himself r

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

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
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
