The Return of the War Legate Chapter 23
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 Cowells’ true colors were showing.Samantha’s heart ached when she saw Violet’s change in attitude. She lowered her head because she was once again disappointed by her grandmother.Adaline could not stand seeing this and said, “Old hag, who was trying to trick you? My brother was just trying to make some money. We didn’t do it for you. Aren’t you ashamed of saying such things?”“Be quiet, Ada…” Rue quickly held her daughter back because of how rude she was.Samantha covered her mouth. She looked at Violet in disappointment. “Grandmother, Adrian didn’t lie to you. General Summers agreed to pay him a fee. Ada needs money for her tuition, so—”“Enough. What does Ada’s tuition have anything to do with me?” Violet cut her off. “I’m giving you three days to return Bailar to us, or we’ll see you in court.”She just said she would allow Samantha to take over the Cowell Group, and she instantly changed her mind.It was hard to cover one’s true intentions.After hearing this, Samanth

“Seven hundred and fifty thousand? Where are you going to get that kind of money, Adrian?” Closing the door after Violet left, Rue looked anxious.Since Henry’s passing and the Xanders taking Paraiso away, she had never seen seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars.“Don’t worry, I’ll find a way,” Adrian consoled her.“Find a way? Adrian, are you going to let her sue you? Do you think it’s easy to get that much money? She's a greedy old hag. Even if you give her the money, she might change her mind again.” Adaline was anxious too, but it slowly turned into anger.Adrian turned to Samantha, who sat on the couch with her head hung low and not speaking.Rue said, “What do you think, Sam?”“Maybe Adrian is right,” Samantha said.Adaline and Rue were surprised.She continued. “We’ll consider this seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars as a repayment and then cut them off. Bailar would be mine and mine alone from then on.”“But where are we going to get the money from?” Rue was ne

Adrian waited for some time outside.A black Mercedes Benz MPV rolled up and stopped in front of him. Then, a few middle-aged men got out with two briefcases.“Sir, here are the seven hundred and fifty thousand you asked for in cash,” one of the men said as they handed over the briefcases.“Thank you,” Adrian replied.The men nodded, got into the car, and left. Adrian then turned around and made his way home.Rue had made breakfast, but since Adrian was not around, she ate with Adaline and Samantha first. The three of them were troubled.Rue sighed. “Sam, did you manage to borrow money from your friend?”Samantha shook her head and said sadly, “I didn’t. Joanna didn’t pick up.”Joanna was Samantha’s best friend and co-founded The House of Bailar with Samantha. She left the country with her family years ago, and Samantha has been running the company ever since.After hearing this, Rue felt helpless, and Adaline did not know what to say.At that moment, Adrian walked in carryin

At that moment, Violet was sitting in the living room, chairing a family meeting.When the Cowells learned that Adrian was not the legate and heard his offer to repay what Samantha previously loaned, they were all smiles.Clara said, “Adrian is just a useless man who’s really good at lying. He’s going to pay back seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars? Where’s he going to get the money from?”“Exactly. Is he going to go around begging for it, or is he going to sell Samantha?” Francis chuckled.Violet, not wanting to add to the ridicule, simply said, “As long as he keeps his word. If he doesn’t, I won’t let this go.”Clara smirked. “Grandmother, are you going to believe that piece of trash? If he can get the money, pigs will fly.”“Exactly. If Adrian procures the money, I’ll kneel to him. I’m waiting for him to prove me wrong.” Francis smirked too.The other Cowells agreed. To them, Adrian producing seven hundred and fifty thousand was far more impossible than him sprouting win

“Samantha, where did you get this money from?” Violet was nervous.The Cowell Group was only worth about a million dollars in market value. She had never seen that much money since Samantha’s grandfather passed away.Samantha replied, “You don’t need to know that, Grandmother. Count it. After that, we’re clear of debt.”“Hugo, count it,” Violet ordered.Hugo quickly walked over and asked a few people to join him. They all looked as if they had lost their mind as they grabbed a bunch of notes and started counting. When done, the amount came to exactly seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars.Everyone sucked in a breath through their teeth.“Mother, it’s exactly seven hundred and fifty thousand. No more, no less,” Hugo reported.“What?” Violet was nervous.Adrian spoke up, “Someone said they were going to get on their knees, and now is the time. Otherwise, your grandmother will die.”Francis’ legs shook because he never imagined that Adrian would be able to get his hands on so

Adrian nodded and got into the car with Samantha.He was about to head to Bailar with her, but then Rue called and said something. Samantha nodded and said, “Okay, Mother. I’ll have Adrian head over.”“What’s going on, Sam?” Adrian asked after hearing what she said.After she hung up, she replied, “Ada is meeting up with her friends, but Mother is worried. She’s asking you to keep an eye on her and ensure Ada doesn’t get drunk. Hurry.”She patted his shoulder.Adaline was going to attend university soon, so it was normal for her to attend gatherings.Rue called because she was worried that some creeps would get Adaline drunk and proceed with their heinous plans. She was worried about Adaline, so she called Samantha and asked Adrian to watch her.“Why would I go to her gathering? Mother shouldn’t worry.” Adrian did not overthink it because he felt normal to meet up with friends.“It’s not as simple as that,” Samantha said, “There are men with loose morals in this city, and since

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
