The Return of the War Legate Chapter 398
Chuck’s mouth hung wide open.He was not expecting his old friend whom he had not met for seven years to show up before him once more and announce that he was the great War Legate Draco.He was utterly stunned and fell into deep thought. ‘If Adrian’s the legate, then Wallace is absolutely nothing in front of him!’At that thought, Chuck began to break down. He grabbed Adrian’s hand and cried, “Adrian, you have to avenge me… Please!”Chuck was extremely agitated, letting out all the vengeance and grief he felt inside. He wanted the legate to avenge him!Adrian wished to calm the fear deep within Chuck’s heart. All that he was waiting for was for Chuck to say the word.“Go ahead and tell me the story, Chubbs. What happened? Did you kill anyone?”Chuck shook his head like a madman. “I never killed anyone. They framed me. You have to avenge me, Adrian. You know I’d never lie and that I always admit my mistakes. I never killed anyone, and that’s the truth.”“Okay, I’ll help you get

Nine in the morning in Sormbay City…Sormbay was a country surrounded by the sea, which meant they were in a pretty good situation economically.At that moment, a certain plane made its descent into Sormbay City’s airport. After that, Wallace walked out with his luggage behind him. He exited the airport after going through the security checks.He waited at the airport for a while before…“Father!” a young man called out to Wallace, waving from the other side.Seeing this, Wallace immediately ran toward the young man, who was revealed to be Cormac, his son.“Did you bring your debit card with you?”Cormac nodded. “Relax, Father. I’ve sold everything worth selling so we’ve now got forty-five million dollars in here. It’ll be enough for us to live in Sormbay for a while.”Wallace smiled. “Good. There’s nothing the legate can do to us when we’re overseas, no matter how powerful he is. Come on. Let’s lay low for the time being and return home later.“You know… Sormbay’s women are f

The Sormbayan soldiers threw Wallace and Cormac into the back of a vehicle.Immediately after that, they were sent back to the airport and flown to Southrive’s Swallowston, along with a few soldiers as escorts.***That afternoon, Adrian was at the Battle Warrior Department when he received word from Sormbay that Wallace and Cormac had been delivered.Adrian arranged for them to be sent to the hospital as he got up and rushed over there himself. However, before he did this, he sent Reiss a text.“Chubbs has woken up. Come to the hospital if you’re still in Swallowston.’Meanwhile, Reiss was sitting on a long bench in a certain garden in Swallowston. She had no idea where to go since she was now homeless. At the same time, she did not wish to return to Northrive since that place was no different than a graveyard to her.When she read Adrian’s text, she remained silent for a while before she got up and hailed a cab to the hospital. Coincidentally, she ran into him when she arrived

Reiss chuckled. “What does the legate have to do with you? Stop dreaming and focus on recovering. Do you know how terrified I was when I saw you at Prison 14?”“You were there too?” Chuck asked.“I was, I was also the one who told Adrian that you had fallen out of touch two years ago. I doubt he’d remember you if I didn’t. After all, he’s such an important person so he probably forgot about us long ago,” Reiss said, her words seeming to target Adrian.Adrian remained silent.Chucked smiled and said, “Don’t say that, Reiss. He’d never forget about us. He’s just been really busy recently. He came to help me, didn’t he? He’s always been very protective of his friends and that hasn’t changed.”“I see you’re well on his side, but I’m not as forgiving as you.”Chuck smiled at that remark, while someone walked into his ward at that moment. Mya, who was wearing an extremely short pair of pants, walked in and said, “Sir, the Cooks are here.”Anticipation overcame Chuck when he heard this

Their screams of agony echoed throughout the hospital.Their blood and tears mixed together, dripping onto the floor as despair and helplessness filled their minds. Neither of the Cooks ever expected to end up in such a state, especially after how invincible they thought they were over the years.Reiss and Rue were too scared to even watch, while something seemed to have triggered within Chuck’s heart. He recalled how the father and son had treated him worse than an animal. They beat him up whenever they wanted, constantly threatened to end his life, and even pulled strings from behind the scenes to get him thrown into Prison 14.He never thought he would live to see the day Wallace and Cormac would face even greater despair than he did.“Sir, please… Please spare me! I’m sorry, sir… I was wrong… I’m a member of Internal Affairs… You can’t do this to me!” Wallace yelled as fresh wounds continued to be inflicted on him. He was in such immense pain that he had broken down entirely.

A monster!In Reiss’s mind, Adrian was a monster—a merciless and cold-blooded monster.‘Adrian could’ve just killed Wallace and Cormac rather than torture them first, and the way he did it was something no sane person would be capable of. Maybe he did the same to Seth too before killing him…’Reiss felt as though a boulder was pressing against her chest as she looked at her former classmate. The man she was secretly in love with had turned into a monster.Adrian stopped and turned around. He looked at Reiss and asked, “Do you think I’m cruel? That I’m a monster?”“Are you saying you’re not?” Reiss asked in a hoarse voice.She sobbed and took a step back before wiping away her tears. Her eyes were filled with fear when she looked back at Adrian. She was afraid that he might lay his hands on her out of anger, but that was far from the truth.Instead, Adrian smiled and asked, “So, you do think I’m cruel. Then answer me this. Do you know how our men were tortured when the Luposians

Reiss silently stared at Adrian, her eyes brimming with tears.Thus, Adrian answered his own question and said, “Your brother didn’t think he had done anything wrong after killing Simon. Instead, he thought that Simon deserved it. Plus, he tried to cover up the matter, which is why he never realized his mistake and became even worse.“So, why is he allowed to be so cruel when taking someone’s life while I can’t do the same to him after I find out the truth?“Do you understand what I’m trying to say?” Adrian asked.Reiss shook her head at first but nodded after some thought.Adrian took a deep breath and wiped the tears off Reiss’ face. “There’s a time and place for when we have to be fair and kind. If we show kindness to our enemies, they’ll only end up taking advantage of us. By being kind to our enemies, we’re exposing ourselves to even greater dangers. This is why I’ve always lived by the code of making criminals understand how much worse I am compared to them.”Reiss finally

Adrian got into his car and headed for the Battle Warrior Department while Reiss stood rooted to the spot, her hands clenching the money he had given her.Adrian’s words were still ringing in her ears.Currently, there were two outcomes for her father. He would survive if the first option was implemented, but he would have to live in prison for the rest of his life. On the other hand, his entire family would be executed should the other option be chosen.‘Adrian’s said that even he can’t control my family’s destiny so I have to consider my options carefully or find another better way!’Reiss took a deep breath and headed back into the hospital, wanting to wait until Chuck recovered before she made plans to leave.In truth, she was no different than an orphan now.***Meanwhile, Adrian took care of the matter regarding the governor the moment he got to the department. After all, Imperial Capital’s Internal Affairs were surely going to send someone over to investigate Wallace’s de

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
