"Working with the Celestrians?" Gaius rose from his seat, his expression growing serious as he scrutinized the father and son before him. Though he had suspected as much, hearing the words directly from them was still shocking.Thobias chuckled lightly and reassured Gaius, "Indeed. This is no jest."Gaius was taken aback. "Then you...""Mr. Gaius, are you only realizing this now? It seems I've overestimated you," Thobias deflected abruptly, shifting the focus onto Gaius.Gaius wore a pensive expression. He had sensed something amiss long ago. However, Thobias was a lord, and confronting him directly over suspicions wasn't an option. Even with military power at his disposal, he doubted he could match Thobias in a direct confrontation."What does today's matter have to do with your collaboration with the Celestrians?" Gaius inquired, having rushed over upon receiving the notice. Yet, Thobias had never explained the situation to him.Thobias and Kevin exchanged a glance, both sighin
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 3186
Gaius wasn't afraid because everyone knew the only ones the Remingtons could rely on were the army under his command. Without him, they were doomed.When Gaius signaled he wanted to leave, Thobias hastily stood up to stop him.Gaius questioned, "What's the matter? Are you trying to force me to stay, Lord Thobias?"Thobias assured him, "No, not at all. We don't have immediate benefits at hand, but..."Greed flickered in Gaius' eyes. "But what?"Thobias hesitated slightly. "But the Celestrians provide us with over a billion gold every year..."Upon hearing this, Gaius frowned deeply. "Where has all that money gone?"Thobias grimaced. Over the years, the money collected by the Governor's Mansion had been spent on various matters. After sorting out the relationships in Cras Island and several surrounding counties, they also provided the Celestrians with a hidden residence on Cras Island. Nearly all the money had been depleted.Thobias believed that once the Celestrians got a footho

"With the Mansion surrounded by the army, we're effectively cut off. What's our next move?" Lillian's anxiety was palpable, realizing their options were dwindling.Adrian, too, grasped the gravity of the situation. While charging into the midst of the thirty thousand soldiers appeared tempting, Cras Island's status as Obscura City's rear battlefield rendered such action untenable. Disrupting Cras Island's stability was out of the question. Despite his natural inclination toward aggression, Adrian refrained from such drastic measures.Wallace, monitoring the soldiers' movements, remarked, "It seems they've altered their formation."Adrian grimaced. "They must have underestimated the severity of the situation. The Governor's Mansion and the Stormwatch Legion are undoubtedly conspiring with one another."Lillian's anxiety escalated further. After meeting Adrian, she had relocated to his residence, forming close bonds with Rozi and her sister. Living with Rozi and Wallace during this t

Gaius and the Remingtons were discussing when Adrian might depart and brainstorming methods to encourage his departure when someone abruptly barged in, claiming they had urgent news."What's your business here?" Gaius, engrossed in thoughts of future prosperity with the Celestrians, was visibly annoyed by the interruption."Sir, that young man has reappeared. This time, he presented us with a token.""A token? What kind of token?" Gaius was intrigued, as were Kevin and Thobias, who exchanged a glance."The token is black, adorned with unusual patterns, including a coiled dragon..."Thobias frowned. Neither he, Kevin, nor Gaius recognized the significance of the token."Lord Tobias, do you have any knowledge of this token?" Sensing potential importance, Gaius turned to Thobias for insight.Thobias responded without hesitation, shaking his head and smiling slightly. "What significant possession could someone like that have? It's likely just a token from the Frontier Force, unrelat

However, Adrian shook his head firmly. "Regardless of the situation there, there are garrison troops stationed here to manage emergencies. So, if we head over, mustering ten thousand men shouldn't pose a problem."With that, the trio departed from the Governor's Mansion. After they left, the Stormwatch Legionnaires collectively breathed a sigh of relief. They had just received orders from higher-ups to monitor Adrian as he was suspected of being the assassin targeting their leader. Moreover, he was a formidable level-eight expert.While they were instructed to keep an eye on Adrian, they were cautioned against provoking him. Thus, Adrian's presence near the Governor's Mansion had put considerable strain on the soldiers."That guy's finally gone..." remarked a soldier clad in armor, wielding a weapon."Hmph. Based on what they were saying earlier, they might return later.""Don't be cowards. We have thirty thousand troops here, and seventy thousand beyond the city walls. No matter

Gaius eyed Thobias suspiciously, but the latter remained tight-lipped, refusing to divulge anything. Gaius sensed Thobias' reticence and understood that he held crucial information but chose to keep it hidden. Thoughts raced through Gaius' mind. What significance could that token hold?Meanwhile, Thobias contemplated the potential repercussions if Adrian indeed mobilized the Frontier Force. However, revealing the token's true origin to Gaius was out of the question. Having observed Gaius for some time, he had discerned the former’s true nature. Despite his outward bravado, Gaius was fundamentally timid. In the event of a conflict involving the Frontier Force, Thobias believed Gaius would cower in submission.In Silverboa, the Stormwatch Legion and the Frontier Force occupied distinct circles, with the latter commanding greater strength and prestige. In any confrontation, it would be the Stormwatch Legion that suffered. Thus, Gaius harbored no desire for conflict with the Frontier For

Everyone laughed at Lillian. "Girl, do you think anyone can meet with our captain?""Hahaha! This is not a place for someone like you, girl. Go home!"They did not take Adrian and Wallace seriously even though they did not know how strong they were. In their eyes, the Frontier Force was the most formidable force on Cras Island. They held dominion over the city, and dissent was futile.Lillian frowned. Just when she was about to say something, Adrian shook his head and stopped her. With the Black Dragon Token in his hand, he asked the soldiers, "Do you know what this is?" "I don't care who you are! I've already warned you. Get out of here now or we'll take action against you!" One of the guards sneered coldly.Adrian frowned. It seemed to him that reasoning with them was futile, so he scoffed. "In that case…" Before he finished his sentence, he shot forward. The Frontier Force was different from the Stormwatch Legion, and they did not have any special defenses against him. E

"Not bad." Adrian nodded. This was exactly what he wanted. He wanted to gather everyone and find someone who recognized the Black Dragon Token. "You're dead meat for causing trouble at our camp, kid!" one person snarled angrily.Adrian could not be bothered to argue with him and simply kicked the person unconscious."Stop! Who the hell are you?!" A middle-aged man wearing a black uniform adorned with military insignia rushed over."Looks like he's the one in charge of this camp," Lillian whispered to Adrian.Adrian nodded slightly. The middle-aged man was an eight-level, so he should be the person in charge of this camp."We're here seeking help!" Adrian shouted."Help? Is this your way of seeking help?" the man asked as he looked at the soldiers lying around him with a displeased expression."They were babbling too much. Besides, you wouldn't have come out if I hadn’t done this," Adrian replied."My name is Dominique Wiles, and I'm the captain here. Who are you?" Domonique a

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
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
