The Return of the War Legate Chapter 2894
Larissa had no other choice right now. When Adrian drew his sword, Lucy sunk into the waves. Although the cruise ship had already stopped, it would still take some time to turn around and rush to Lucy's side. Even if they could make it to her before she drowned, they still needed time to get her out of the water. Their only hope now was to get Adrian to forgive them and get him to turn back and rescue Lucy.However, Adrian did not see it that way. He shook his head impatiently and said, "Since she's your only daughter, you should have protected her. This isn't the first time this has happened."He rowed away, showing no intention of rescuing Lucy.Larissa and Marc's faces turned pale. As for the other passengers around them, they dared not speak to Adrian anymore after his attack. After all, they did not want to offend him and have him slice the ship in half."Adrian? That name rings a bell!" Marc suddenly recalled something. Although he had heard Adrian's name from the crew earlie

"It's been so long. Why hasn't he come back yet?" Larissa asked while gripping the railing tightly, her eyes fixed on the distant sea.Marc and Sammy were equally worried.Howard summoned a crew member and asked about the damage to the ship's hull. He learned that although the ship had not suffered fatal damage, repairing the damage to the hull would require a lot of money.His face sank. Despite knowing it was wrong, he silently wished that Adrian would never return.Meanwhile, Adrian had dived down hundreds of meters and reached Lucy. Then, he formed a shield with his energy and created a space for her to breathe. However, Lucy had lost the ability to breathe autonomously.Adrian held onto her and slowly floated toward the surface.In her daze, Lucy vaguely saw a familiar figure. Her eyes widened abruptly, and with Adrian's help, she coughed out some seawater and laboriously said, "It’s you, you bastard!" Adrian responded casually, "I've saved you twice, so why do you still c

The Wainwrights were located in Southbay and had been somewhat negligent in responding to the city's situation compared to other forces. In the end, they suffered significant losses. Now they had to attach themselves to other families, such as the Grantts, who happened to be the owners of this cruise ship.As Adrian scanned the faces of the crowd, he noticed fear in their expressions. He shook his head disdainfully, then turned to return to his small boat.However, Lucy struggled out of her mother's arms and reached out to stop Adrian. "Don't go!" she shouted. "What else do you want?" Adrian asked. Lucy did not speak, but she looked at him pleadingly. Adrian frowned, then looked at Larissa and Marc. "What are you doing, Lucy?" Marc said before turning back to Adrian, "I'm sorry, Mr. Adrian. I hope you won't mind Lucy. However, if you said those strange occurrences on our ship were caused by you, I believe that as His Highness Everett's confidante, you must have a way to solve
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 2897
Lucy stared blankly at Adrian. Even though she called him a jerk, he had saved her twice. Moreover, his identity seemed rather unusual. Even her father was now somewhat obsequious in trying to keep him onboard.Anthony asked Howard, "What should we do now, sir?”Howard's face sank as he stared at Adrian. In the current situation, he could no longer drive Adrian away even though he was the owner of the ship. Doing so would only make others think of him as petty. However, when he saw Lucy still clutching at Adrian, his expression became even colder. "Haha! Small world, isn't it? It seems we overlooked Mr. Adrian earlier." Howard suddenly laughed, pushing aside everyone blocking his way and reaching Adrian’s side. "It's our honor to have you aboard, Mr. Adrian. As the owner of this ship, I apologize for neglecting you earlier."He looked at Adrian with a smile, but Adrian cast him a disdainful glance. This was the same person who had previously said he would use this ship to overturn

Lucy shook her head disapprovingly as she looked at Marc. Marc turned to look at Howard who was trembling in fear, and Marc sighed. He knew that Lucy did not want to marry Howard, but they did not have a choice. He then glanced in the direction Larissa had gone. If he could re-establish ties with Everett through Adrian, all the trouble his family faced would be instantly resolved. With that in mind, Marc said, "Don't worry. If we can establish a good relationship with Adrian, you won't have to marry Howard."Lucy's eyes lit up. Although she did not know why they had to maintain a good relationship with Adrian, she felt a sense of joy. However, she still sneered and said, "Why do we have to establish a good relationship with him? That guy is a jerk!""Shut up! He's saved you twice!" Marc shouted."But why didn't you tell me last time? Why did you and Mom lie to me?" Lucy asked.Marc sighed. It was because they did not know Adrian's identity at that time, so they did not dare to

Seeing the scene before him, Adrian's eyes lit up. He realized that the old man was no ordinary person.The energy from the old man released condensed into faint threads in the air, weaving together to form a golden net that swiftly approached Autumn with remarkable speed.Before Autumn could go through the wall, she was enveloped by the golden net. With a thud, she fell to the ground and rolled on the corridor floor. Her resentment-filled eyes fixed on Adrian and the old man.Not as knowledgeable as Adrian, Larissa and the others could not discern what method the old man had used to capture Autumn. "Mr. Desmond! I didn't expect you to have this trick up your sleeve," Larissa said in surprise.The old man chuckled and replied calmly, "Mrs. Larissa, this is our family's inherited secret technique. It shouldn't be used casually.” He then looked to Adrian and respectfully introduced himself, "Mr. Adrian, I'm Desmond Griffin. People around here call me Mr. Desmond."Adrian nodded sl
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 2900
Due to his special ability, people would approach Desmon to handle such matters. It was also due to this unique ability that he usually had the upper hand against various ghosts and monsters. As a level eight Grandmaster with unique abilities, he often demonstrated strength far beyond others when facing these filthy creatures. However, this time, he found that the entity before him was far beyond his ability to contend with. Simply put, he was a one-trick pony. Once someone was able to counter his skill, he would become powerless. At that moment, Larissa and the others felt a surge of nervousness. Some regretted their impulsive decision to come along. While they acknowledged Adrian's remarkable identity, their primary goal was to advance their families' interests by aligning with Everett. Putting their lives in jeopardy during this pursuit would be a significant setback.As Adrian walked toward Autumn, he knew the dangerous situation ahead.After Autumn tore apart the golden net
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 2901
"You saved Lucy twice, and we haven't yet expressed our gratitude to you. Please come with me." Larissa led him toward the hall. The others' faces sank. Someone sneered and said, "Mrs. Larissa, since Mr. Adrian saved Ms. Lucy twice, why did you wait until the second time to express your gratitude? Is it a unique rule of the Wainwrights? Only those who save you twice are worthy of your thanks? Or perhaps, you only express gratitude based on their status? If it were an ordinary person who saved your daughter, you'd ignore them, but if it's Mr. Adrian, it's worth celebrating?"These remarks were cutting, and Larissa's expression turned grim. As for Adrian, he remained indifferent to their words.After a while, Larissa scoffed coldly and replied, "Although my family has encountered some difficulties, it's not for you to casually comment on. If you're dissatisfied, you're welcome to have a duel with me." In this world, might made right. After hearing this, the others fell silent as th

The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4815
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
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
