Chapter 2877

Penulis: Celestial Clouds
A few minutes later, the person tasked with inspecting the pouch returned. Although the cabin's air circulation wasn't great and it felt a bit stuffy, it shouldn't make one sweat profusely given the weather. But the person who returned was not only sweating; his entire body was drenched in a cold sweat. His hands that were holding onto the pouch revealed bulging veins.

As he entered, he kept looking around, afraid that someone would snatch the pouch from his hands. He lowered his voice, excitedly saying, "There… There really is one hundred million inside here!"

Brutus turned to look at Adrian, nodding and saying, "I'll take you to see the goods." He quickly put away the pouch into his pocket and looked warily at Alfie and the others.

Adrian followed Brutus to the latter’s room. Alfie and the others followed along. They were very curious about what Adrian was willing to spend one hundred million to buy.

After arriving at Brutus' cabin, they saw that there were two people guarding th

    Brutus looked at Alfie’s group happily. These guys weren't jinxes; they were lucky stars! Compared to the jubilant atmosphere on Brutus’ side, Alfie’s group seemed listless. They had hired Adrian to teach Brutus’ group a lesson. Their biggest concern was whether Adrian could rough them up, but Adrian proved that he could.However, what happened next exceeded their expectations. Adrian struck a deal with Brutus' group, allowing the latter to make a big profit. Adrian truly was a gold mine. He offered one hundred million crystals without even batting an eye. Alfie’s group found it unbelievable that such a person would come down to the lower deck."Sir, were you already on the ship when we set sail?" a person beside Alfie asked.Adrian replied, "I came up last night.""Did the ship dock last night?""What nonsense! The ship departed from Cras Island and is on a one-way trip to Central Island. It doesn’t pass any islands in between."Alfie trembled, looking at Adrian with suspicion

    Alfie tossed and turned, then looked out at the dark and calm waves outside his window. The wind was calm. The water wasn’t always turbulent, sometimes even appearing rather serene. At this moment, the sea seemed exceptionally deep under the moonlight, so deep that it felt somewhat unsettling.Suddenly, Alfie noticed a slender, fair hand clinging to the windowsill and went wide-eyed. The hand was clearly that of a woman’s, and it was too pale. The moonlight showed that it lacked any trace of blood.Feeling like his eyes were playing tricks on him, Alfie abruptly sat up and took a closer look. He rubbed his eyes, finding it hard to believe what he saw. ‘It must be my imagination,’ he thought.Then he lay back down, turning his back to the window. Out of sight, out of mind, right?But for some reason, Alfie then felt a chilling breeze brushing against the back of his neck, sending shivers down his spine. His hair stood on end, and he sat back up and turned to the window again, and

    Autumn knew Adrian wasn't asleep. She knew that even if he was asleep, he would awaken once she appeared. And just as she couldn't kill Adrian, he couldn't kill her either, at least not for now."You’re also unable to kill me though,” Autumn replied softly.Adrian turned around to look at the Divine Frost Slayer Blade and the Hellblade. In his impression, the Divine Frost Slayer Blade could cleanse any filth in the world. However, this floating head was somewhat peculiar. The last time he had tried to use the Divine Frost Slayer Blade to injure her, it didn't have much effect. It was the Hellblade that drove her away with a single strike. But even so, it failed to cause her any fatal damage. Otherwise, she wouldn't be here bothering him again.He frowned, turning back to look coldly at Autumn. He thought that since she couldn't kill him, why was she continuing to harass him? Was she using the fear of others to strengthen herself?"From your expression, it seems you've figured it ou

    Adrian nodded. "Those in the upper deck chased me down here yesterday."The leader nodded indifferently, unconcerned about what had happened to Adrian. It didn't matter as long as it wasn't someone from the lower deck going up. He also knew that the people in the middle and upper decks weren’t necessarily of better personalities than those in the lower decks. Adrian must’ve offended someone important.He cast a cold glance at Adrian and then went back to his room.Seeing that the commotion had ended, those from other cabins also returned to their rooms. They had heard someone shouting about a ghost, but no one in modern society believed in ghosts and monsters.Alfie’s group stood at the door, looking somewhat bewildered.Adrian smiled at them and softly said, "Aren’t you gonna come in?""Are you really Mr. Adrian?" Alfie and the others suspected that Adrian might have been possessed by the ghost."Don't overthink it. Do you think it's safer to stay with me or to face the ghost o

    Adrian responded casually, "It’s just a ghost playing tricks."The woman in the white nightgown became even more nervous upon learning this. As she fled, she had been stumbled a few times, so her nightgown was now dirty. With a frightened expression, she sat down on a nearby chair.The incident in the lower deck spread quickly among all the passengers, and over five hundred people gathered in the lower deck hall. Even the previously impatient leader of the lower deck crew came out of his room, accompanied by more than a dozen other crew members.The crew members looked deathly anxious. After some investigation, they confirmed that there was indeed a ghost. They hadn’t believed Alfie’s group’s story earlier, but now at least dozens had seen the floating woman's head. Even if they didn't want to admit it, there was no way around it.A person clad in a white uniform, the one who came to Adrian’s room earlier, approached Adrian. "Your name’s Adrian, right? You drove away the ghost earl

    Anthony didn’t even spare Adrian, who was standing beside Tony, a glance.Tony helplessly explained, "The ghost appeared out of nowhere and almost hurt someone. It was Mr. Adrian who drove it away."Anthony then finally looked at Adrian.Adrian chuckled and said, "No need to thank me."Anthony scowled, shouting at Adrian, "You’re the one who probably brought the ghost here! I've been working on this route for decades and have never encountered such a situation before!"Anthony's dissatisfaction peaked. One of the passengers jumping overboard last night had almost ended his career. Although that incident had a good outcome, in the end, he was still shaken. To top it off, such a bizarre thing had occurred.There were many legends about the fierce sea and plenty of stories containing ghosts and monsters. Anthony believed them to all be nonsense though. He had worked in this line for decades and had never seen a so-called “vengeful spirit.” It wasn't until Adrian arrived that he enco

    Adrian shook his head. "You're just trying to concentrate your forces and protect the people in the middle and upper decks. But what if I tell you that the ghost will become even more powerful after injuring someone?"When he spoke, Adrian deliberately spoke loudly. Once he was done, the hundreds on the lower deck became restless."We may be on the lower deck, but we're still human!""That's right! We're human!""You better send someone to protect us!"Anthony grimaced. He gritted his teeth and looked at Adrian, thinking, ‘This guy is such a troublemaker!’Adrian was spot on. Anthony didn't care about the lower deck passengers. These people didn’t bring him much profit, after all. The only reason such cheap lower-deck tickets were even made available was simply to provide a sense of superiority for those in the middle or upper decks.Hearing the dissident voices, Anthony analyzed the situation carefully. Looking at the more than five hundred people, he conceded, "Fine. You two s

  • The Return of the War Legate   Chapter 2885

    Anthony stepped forward with a smile. "Mr. Jack, what happened tonight is something we never anticipated. Your girlfriend being injured also puts us in a difficult position. I assure you though that after we disembark, we will compensate you for this.""Compensate me? Do you think I care about your meager compensation? If it weren't for the lack of space in the upper deck, I wouldn't be living with these lower-class people!" Jack Landry waved as his verbal onslaught sprayed onto everyone around him.Anthony remained calm as he was experienced in handling such situations. The other party was partly frightened and partly venting their anger, so as long as they were given an outlet, things would be much easier.The several crew members looked like they had been wronged. Jack did not hold back from berating them for several minutes though they too were frightened by the ghost.The woman beside Jack was in tears. She covered the bruise on her arm and said, "Darling! You have to make thi

    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

    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 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

    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.
