The Return of the War Legate Chapter 357
When Adrian arrived back at One Jewel Road with Samantha and Joanna, they immediately saw there were many people inside.Francis, Clara, Nathan, and Hugo were there. In fact, even Tracy and Wendy, Nathan and Hugo’s wives respectively, were present, cooking something in the kitchen.They seemed to be enjoying themselves in the villa, with Francis, Hugo, and Nathan leisurely helping themselves to Adrian’s red wine.On the other hand, Rue seemed like a complete stranger, standing by the side, not knowing what she should do.“Grandmother, what’s all this?!” Samantha became furious when she saw how her villa had turned into the Cowells’ villa. Violet squinted her eyes when she saw that Samantha and Adrian had returned. “Your uncles were afraid you wouldn’t be able to take care of me properly, so they’re both here to help you. Now, you can worry less.“Or is there something you’d like to say about that?” Violet pressured.Samantha was so furious that she burst into tears and yelled,

Samantha sounded rather ferocious as she said, “I don’t care. None of you are going up there even if you want to. That’s a dating place for Adrian and me. I won’t let any of you sully it.”Clara sneered when she heard this. “A dating place? What a shameless woman you are, Samantha. None of us will ever want to go to a place as filthy as that anyway. Not when you’re spending your time there.”Samantha took a deep breath, forcing down her anger. She let off a cold snicker and said, “We both know who the filthy person really is, Clara. No matter how filthy I am, I’ve remained loyal to my husband. You, on the other hand, insulted Simon’s kindness with such a heinous act… Are you even ashamed of yourself in the slightest?”Clara’s heart dropped the moment Samantha brought Simon up, not daring to retaliate on that particular topic.Adrian immediately pulled Samantha aside, thinking that she would be ruining her own image by arguing with Clara.Then, he said, “Enjoy your meal. There’s st

Everyone was instantly dumbfounded, feeling as though their entire lives had been turned upside down.Nathan and Hugo were still enjoying their drink when gun muzzles were suddenly pressed against their heads, leaving them stupefied.They immediately got down on their knees with their hands in the air. “Please, sir! We haven’t done anything wrong to deserve this! So why are we being held at gunpoint?!”The others were also in shock, with Violet almost falling off of the sofa at the sight of the guns.Francis was the biggest laughingstock amongst the rest of them—wetting his pants the moment a gun was aimed at him. Trembling in fear, he looked at the men and burst into tears. “Please, sir! I’m a law-abiding citizen!”‘Why the hell is this happening all of a sudden?! We were just enjoying a meal together!’Clara, on the other hand, had turned white.Tracy and Wendy were already on their knees with their hands behind their heads.‘What’s going on?‘What’s all this?!’“What’s goi

Clara was the only one who behaved rather abnormally as she hurriedly defended herself. “Simon’s dead? What has that got to do with me? We aren’t even related.”Thus, began Clara’s defense.If she was truly unaware of Simon’s death, her first reaction to the news should be shock. Yet, that was not the case, which meant she was most likely aware of it beforehand.And now, she was trying to talk her way out of the matter, which would cause one to suspect whether she was indeed the culprit.“Judging by your tone, it seems you knew he was dead a long time ago. Am I right, Clara?” Adrian asked once more, causing the color to drain from Clara’s face.Suddenly, she seemed to have realized something and hurriedly said, “No, I didn’t. I only found out he’s dead when you told me. But what does his death have to do with me? I didn’t kill him!”Adrian had gone through many experiences so he was easily able to tell something was wrong with Clara based on her expression.‘She may seem calm an

The Cowells panicked when they heard this.‘Clara’s the one in trouble right now. Not the whole family.’At that thought, Francis was the first to speak up. “I’ve been a little busy recently, sir. I’ve got no idea what my cousin’s been doing so I’d like to retract my statement. I have no idea where Clara was at the time.”Hugo followed suit and said, “Me too! I’ve been busy with work so I wasn’t paying attention to her whereabouts.”Nathan was instantly enraged when he heard this. ‘They’re abandoning Clara like cowards now?! Does family mean so little to them?!’Honestly, was there a single Cowell who actually cared about each other? Were they all not just looking out for themselves?Clara’s world started falling apart when she saw Francis and Hugo backing out from being her alibi.In fact, even Violet joined in and said, “I haven’t been paying attention to where Clara has been. However, we’ll be sure to assist with your investigation.”“Grandmother…” Clara had not expected Vio

Clara was already laying limp against the sofa. Only stutters were coming out from her lips at this point.All the Cowells were stunned when they saw this. ‘She might actually be involved in Simon’s death!’The technicians continued to recover more data from Clara’s phone, only handing it over for Adrian to go through when they were done.Adrian looked through the recovered data for a while before looking up at Clara. “You’ve also been to a cafe, it seems.“You there. Take your men with you to that cafe and investigate the place.”Thus, Daniel once again ordered his men to move out.“You’ve also been in frequent contact with a man by the name of Seth De Forrest. There’s also a text message that you deleted from your phone where you asked how Simon’s body was dealt with.“Tell me…Why did you ask Seth how the body was dealt with?“Were you the one who killed Simon Black?”Feeling as though a bolt of lightning had struck her, Clara trembled and fell onto her knees, bawling her ey

All the Cowells trembled and fell into a daze when they heard Adrian’s command.Clara, who seemed as though she was about to pass out, suddenly came back to her senses and cried once more.“Please, sir! Please!” she yelled with her tear-filled face.As the saying goes, those who seem pitiful probably did something to deserve it.‘She looks absolutely nothing like the hateful woman she is while doing all those things in the past…’ Adrian took a deep breath. ‘I’ve seen too many cases like hers. Unfortunately, one must pay the price for their actions.’Meanwhile, Nathan and Tracy were on their feet, begging on Clara’s behalf. The latter had turned mad from despair.At that very moment, Adrian suddenly removed his mask and revealed his chiseled face. A look of recognition instantly flashed through the eyes of every Cowell present.Violet’s jaw was the first to drop as her mind buzzed. She stared at Adrian in a daze.Nathan’s mouth was wide open as well. ‘That face… That face… I-It’

Helplessness.They were all being taught a very harsh lesson at this moment. None of them would ever forget this for the rest of their lives.“Clara, I hope you’ll learn to behave like a decent human and not look down upon others in your next life. There are just too many things that you still don’t understand about this world,” Adrian suddenly said to Clara, whose face was soaked with tears.She looked at Adrian while on her knees, crying as she said, “I’m sorry, Adrian. I truly am sorry… Please… Please spare my life! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die!”Adrian squatted and reached out to wipe her tears. “You’ll never be able to wipe away your actions, nor will you ever be able to take back what you said. So, stop behaving like this and choose to be a better person in your next life.”“I don’t want to die, Adrian…”“I know you don’t want to die but you deserve what’s coming. You’ve killed another person so you should pay for your sins with your own death. Otherwise, Danton

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
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
