Adrian raced toward Medicis Manor.Hendrick, who was working in the herb field, immediately shouted when he saw Adrian, "Where’s Arlo?""I don’t know!" Adrian did not stop and charged on.Hendrick was puzzled, but just as he was about to ask further, Adrian had already passed the field and showed no intention of engaging in conversation.The horse had not even come to a complete stop when Adrian and Rozi both jumped off it and headed straight for Medicis Manor. The first thing that caught their eyes was the resident watchdog that was lying dead on the ground.Rozi exclaimed in shock, "Someone attacked Medicis Manor! Let’s head to study right away!""No!" Adrian had figured it out. What Shaquille wanted was the herbs and to warn them not to act recklessly while he was at it. "We have to go to the cellar. We can’t let them get the herbs."Rozi was frustrated. Lionel had regarded the study as a part of his life and loved studying the ancient tomes there. He had claimed that the tom

Adrian scoffed. "What you said may have been true in the past, but things have changed. I’m the current leader of Medicis Manor." He pointed to the silver badge on his waist.Hennessy’s expression fell. Up until now, both parties had only been bluffing without providing any concrete proof. But Adrian had now revealed his identity."Kill him! There will be a generous reward for the person that brings him down!" Hennessy shouted.Adrian sneered. "I strongly advise you to reconsider. If you dare to lay a hand on me, I’ll make sure Moonlit answers for your actions.""Move it!" Hennessy roared.With his identity exposed, the only way for him to keep himself safe was to kill Adrian. Therefore, of course, he was not about to listen to Adrian."Stop!"Someone leaped over the wall, stood before Adrian, and glared at Hennessy."Sir Hennessy, you’re an elder of Moonlit, but you’ve tarnished the reputation of our faction for your own selfish gain. You’re my problem now," Igor said firmly.

“So, Hennessy’s the real perpetrator behind those deaths!" Adrian gnashed his teeth in anger. "I won’t let him get away with this. Anyone who dares to plot against me will pay the price!""Save me!" Igor pleaded feebly.Adrian picked Igor up and rushed to the Thousand Herbs Study. Lionel would be able to save Igor. However, the study was empty with not a soul in sight. Even after calling out several times, there was no response.‘Now what?’ Adrian put Igor down and pulled the silver needle out from Igor’s chest.The tip of the needle was black, and though only a few short moments had passed, Igor’s life was already hanging by a thread."This is the only method I can think of." After saying this, Adrian dug a hole under the peony bush and placed Igor in it. He then turned to Rozi. "Stay here and watch over him. I’m going to find Mr. Lionel.""Please be careful." Rozi was worried as their opponent this time around was ruthless. The person would do anything and would not give up so

"Look carefully," Adrian instructed.As for Arlo whose condition was very severe, Adrian wondered if Lionel had cured him.Inside the hut, there were injuries on Lionel’s shoulders. They were likely caused by those men in black. Lionel’s clothes were stained red by his blood, but despite this, he was still tending to Arlo. Silver needles were sticking out all over Arlo’s head. Lionel did not even stop to tend to his own wounds.Ophelia and Caroline were also covered in injuries. They were standing by the side, nervously watching Lionel, hoping that he could save Arlo.Adrian decided not to disturb them and quietly withdrew from the hut. He knew that speaking to Lionel now would only disrupt his focus."Where’s Claude?" Adrian asked.Marissa’s heart trembled upon hearing the question. "When the enemy attacked earlier, he ran the other way to divert their attention away from us.”"Baldy, stay here and guard Lionel. Marissa and I will go find Claude." Adrian divided the tasks on ha

The men panicked. Now that they were cornered, they could only wait for an opportunity to escape."We won’t tell you anything," one of them said, "If you have the guts, come at us. We’ll see who walks out of here in one piece."They wanted to continue to resist, but this was not an option in Adrian’s books.Adrian looked at Claude. "Go help Lionel. He’s injured."Claude was shocked. Bucky had been protecting Lionel, so did they lose to those men?"I’ll go find them!" Claude hurried off.Seeing Claude trying to leave, one of the men took out a bow and arrow from behind his back and took a shot at Claude. Adrian saw this, and of course, would not allow it to happen. He leaped into the air, caught the arrow, and flung it back at the shooter."You people are lawless!" Adrian rebuked, "Why turn to such means to kill an apothecary?!"Stab!The shooter got hit by the arrow that Adrian had thrown back. He dropped off the roof and landed on the ground.The other two men trembled in fe

"You're not getting away!" Marissa charged forward and tried to reach the man with her claw. The man had no choice but to retreat in panic.Adrian then arrived before the man and raised the Purple Scimitar. "Since you refuse to do as we say, I shall send you to hell!""Let's see if you can do it!" the man shouted arrogantly as he pulled out his sword. "My sword is one of the strongest weapons around! You won’t defeat me that easily!"Adrian sneered and said, "Having a powerful sword is one thing, but being able to wield it is another thing. You shouldn't look down on me either." Seeing the man approaching, Adrian quickly raised his sword to meet the attack.Clank!The blades clashed, producing a crisp sound. Marissa's heart jumped to her throat. She could no longer see either Adrian or the man, only the dizzying clash of purple and yellow glows. Fortunately, the purple light proved more powerful and soon suppressed the yellow glow.After a few moments, the man screamed, "Aaag

"I’m cruel?" Adrian scoffed. "You lot came here to destroy Medicis Manor. I was simply defending myself."Quinn fell silent. Bucky then came up to them, "Impressive as always, sir! You managed to capture a live one. Please, allow me to interrogate him.”"Sure." Adrian threw Quinn to Bucky.As long as Rozi was safe, everything else was not a problem. He was not scared of these people since they did not even have the guts to face him directly. Bucky looked Quinn up and down, then he was stunned. "Mr. Quinn? What're you doing here?""Let me go and my father will reward you generously," Quinn urged, "He might even give you a place within the Langley family.""Hah!" Buckley sneered, unable to believe that Quinn was trying to bribe him.The last thing Bucky wanted to do was betray Adrian though as he had great confidence in Adrian and was determined to follow him."Thanks but no thanks, Mr. Quinn. I'm just a lowly homeless guy. You treated me like a dog in the past and barely even

Caroline had no choice but to do as Adrian said. After all, she had narrowly escaped death, and she did not want to experience that again. She used to complain about her father a lot, saying he was incapable. She now realized her past was like Heaven compared to the current nightmare she was living in."Okay, I’ll check myself in check," Caroline said softly.Ophelia was surprised. Caroline, usually unruly and never listening to others, readily complied with Adrian. This proved the influence he had on her."Let's go back to our room," Ophelia said, worried that Caroline might cause trouble. "We should get Dr. Claude to tend to your wounds as well.”Caroline was reluctant to leave. She had noticed that Adrian had somehow become younger, and he now reflected the image of her ideal man perfectly. Unfortunately, he did not like her."I want to stay a bit longer,” she whined."Stop fantasizing, girl," Marissa said as she patted Caroline's shoulder. "Adrian’s already married, so it’s u

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

"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
