The Return of the War Legate Chapter 248
Kendall remained silent and went back to smoking his cigarette.Adrian accompanied him for a while before turning around to look at the room behind him. “Why don’t we go inside and sit down? You were my father’s best friend after all.”Kendall’s expression changed very slightly before he threw away his cigarette.“Come on then.”After that, he walked into his room and turned on the lights, with Adrian following behind him.Kendall’s room was not that big, but there was a lot of stuff inside, making it seem like the home of an old man. There were many picture frames on the wall, most likely awards earned by his students.Adrian even saw a portrait among them. It was of a young man in uniform with his back to the painting.The young man had a cape around his neck and a rifle in his hands, looking very majestic and courageous. Although it was just a painting, he looked like a ferocious tiger.He was standing at the mountaintop with countless corpses of his enemies piled up around

Adrian shook his head when he heard this. “Poor girl.”Kendall handed the cup of coffee to Adrian, who said, “All right, enough about her. Let’s talk about you instead. The research team was disbanded after my father died, and you’re under threat of being attacked right now.“Are you really just going to give up? After all, cancer tortures the lives of many.”Kendall remained silent for a while before he said, “That’s your father’s dream and has nothing to do with me.”“Are you sure it’s not your dream too? I refuse to believe you will willingly abandon it all,” Adrian said.Kendall trembled when he heard this, his eyes turning slightly red.Perhaps there were a lot of unspeakable things pent up inside his heart, or he had his reasons for not wanting to say anything.Kendall lit up another cigarette and said, “Do you know what it feels like to watch your colleague die in a lab as a deeply experienced cancer researcher?“It’s my fault that your father is dead, Adrian. I was the

Kendall was a medical genius who had in-depth knowledge of cancer.He might have even been able to conquer cancer with the research group seven years ago if Henry had not passed away.Hence, Adrian’s proposal was like a nuclear bomb dropping on Kendall’s head, causing him to suffer insomnia that night.***The next morning…Briiiiing!The bell of Swallowston High rang, and countless young students shuffled into their respective classrooms.Kendall was slated to teach history in Class A of the third year.As usual, he carried his documents into class and ran into a cheery young girl in the hallway.“Good morning, Mr. Kendall!”The girl was in a wheelchair, waving to him with one hand and books in the other.The girl was very beautiful. She had a pair of large eyes and fair skin with a ponytail behind her head. She was wearing a short skirt today, exuding her beauty like a full garden of blooming flowers.Although the girl did not have a voluptuous body, she had pure beauty a

Unperturbed by the students’ gazes, Adrian began, “War Legate Draco, born Adrian Xander, hails from Swallowston and joined Wyvern Peak as a soldier when he was eighteen.”‘Adrian Xander?’The students’ ears perked up when they heard this, while Kendall was stunned.The students began to chatter among themselves.“The legate’s name is Adrian? And he’s from Swallowston like us?”“Is that true?”“Did you hear that, Juno? The legate is from the same place as us!” a female student whispered as she patted Juno’s hand, the latter who was silently watching Adrian.At that moment, Juno raised her hand and asked, “Excuse me, but how do you know that the legate’s name is Adrian Xander? I heard that his files are super confidential and that nobody knows his identity unless they’re important people.”Adrian smiled. “You’re Juno, correct?”Juno was instantly curious.“He knows you, Juno!” Sherry, her deskmate, exclaimed.Juno nodded. “That’s correct, but how do you know that?”Adrian smi

Kendall’s class became a stage for Adrian, while all the students listened intently to the story of a wheelchair-bound girl’s father who fought in the war.Cold Steel was a soldier from Wyvern Peak who may not have had a very high rank, but he was indeed a soldier who sacrificed himself in the battle against Luposia. Hence, his story was still fresh in Adrian’s mind.During that class, Adrian told everyone the story of how a soldier from Wyvern Peak fought passionately to resist the invasion of Luposia, and everyone listened intently.Juno was in tears. She never knew that her father was such a heroic, courageous, and fearless man.***At the end of the story, Adrian said, “During the final push to drive the enemy away, Cold Steel received an order to provide support to the fourth squad at Northdesert—an assault squad, so to speak.“But when he and his squad entered the desert area, the Luposians ambushed them. Cold Steel led his squad to slay three hundred men and they fought va

“Please take your seats, everyone. Do you believe that I’m the legate now?”All of them nodded silently as they stared at Adrian.“I may be the legate, but I too have parents like you guys. I even sat in a classroom like this and went through my studies when I was your age.“Each and every one of you has a chance of becoming the next legate, and I mean each and every one of you. So, make sure you study hard while you’re young. That’s the only way you’re guaranteed to reach the top in the future.”The students gave Adrian a powerful round of applause when they heard this.“However, I’d like for you to keep everything that happened here today a secret. Make sure not even a single word of this gets out, understand?”“Understood!” the students all yelled, followed by the ringing of the school bell.Hearing this, Adrian smiled and said, “All right, my young eaglets who are about to spread their wings, class is dismissed for today. Remember to study hard and strive for a better future

The underground research facility had just been built recently, courtesy of Samantha, Danton, and a few pharmaceutical groups.Samantha had the biggest investment in this organization and so was their leader.Since the research facility was beneath New Paraiso, it was tightly sealed. This was a safety feature that prevented any gasses within the facility from leaking out should an accident occur.At that moment, the new research team had already been formed, each one of them going through the documents retrieved from the abandoned nursing home.***Samantha, Danton, and the directors from a few pharmaceutical companies, wearing protective gear, were huddled together in the facility. The other members of the team were pouring through the documents Henry had left behind.In fact, they had already created a preliminary vaccine based on the recipe he left behind.At that moment, Samantha and the others were conducting an experiment on a lab rat. They injected the vaccine into the ra

However, Adrian was not going to play dumb this time.With a smile, he said, “Judging by how happy you look, I’m sure that Kendall showed up, right?”“Huh?!” Samantha was surprised. “That’s insane… How did you even guess that?”Adrian merely smiled, and Samantha instantly understood what had happened. “I see. You went to see him, didn’t you? Why would he come here all of a sudden otherwise?”Adrian nodded. “I did go to see him this morning. I told him some stuff about my father, which I’m guessing was just the push he needed to come here.”“Looks like you’ve got a knack for saying the right stuff at the right time. Color me surprised.”Samantha sounded rather coquettish when she said this.Adrian chuckled. “Not am I only good at saying the right stuff at the right time, but I’ve also got a knack for doing the right things at the right time.”Samantha was startled for a moment. “What do you mean?”For a moment, she was unable to comprehend what Adrian just said. However, her fa

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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4814
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4811
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4808
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
