The Return of the War Legate Chapter 423
The phone rang.Soon, a lazy voice was heard coming from the other end of the call. “Hello.”A middle-aged man was seated in the office, and his name was Byron Wulf.Byron was the deputy chief secretary of Internal Affairs and was ranked second among the figures of authority in Swallowston.Daniel said, “Where’s the chief secretary?”Upon hearing Daniel’s question, Byron said, “Who are you? Why do you want to speak to the chief secretary?”This man was supposed to be the dignified deputy chief secretary, yet, he failed to recognize Daniel’s voice.Daniel frowned upon the realization and said, “This is Daniel Summers—the representative of the Battle Warrior Department.”“Ah, I see.”Upon hearing Daniel’s self-introduction, Byron hastily chuckled and said, “It’s you huh, General Daniel. I’m sorry I didn’t recognize your voice as we’ve never met in person.”“I’d like to speak to the chief secretary.”“The chief isn’t here,” Byron said, “You can speak to me if there’s anything t

Daniel made a call to the first guardian.After the call was picked up, a staff member of the City Guardian Division said, “Mr. Daniel, the first guardian is away on a business trip and isn’t in Swallowston at the moment. Also, the Guardians don’t have the authority to mobilize the federation guard without orders from Internal Affairs.“We’re only allowed to offer reinforcements upon receiving orders from Internal Affairs. This matter isn’t under the Guardians’ jurisdiction. We need Internal Affairs to take action first by dispatching the order. Only then are we allowed to act.”***Ten minutes later, Adrian was waiting for an update in Samantha’s office at New Paraiso.Daniel’s call came. He said, “Sir, I’ve made the calls. They’re claiming that the chief secretary and the first guardian are away on business trips. Internal Affairs and the Guardians are pushing the responsibility to one another and neither of them has any intention of taking action. It looks like the Battle Warri

Samantha wanted to speak but she stopped herself.Both Internal Affairs and the City Guardian Division refused to partake in this case so Mandy would surely be doomed if Adrian did not save her.Samantha inhaled a deep breath as she watched Adrian head downstairs. Joanna squeezed her hand and said in a comforting manner, “Don’t worry, Sam. Adrian is the legate—the most powerful man in the world!”Just as Joanna said, Samantha looked forward to her husband’s performance and she was very proud of him. She had a man that countless women in this world wanted but could not have.Meanwhile, Adrian walked out of New Paraiso while Daniel had already assigned someone to send him his equipment. He changed into his full black battle suit as he walked and got into a car soon afterward.Samantha and Joanna stood by the window of the office and watched as Adrian got into the car and left.***The incident of Sheldon abducting Mandy had stirred fear in everyone’s heart. Not many people could b

The journalist said, “Mr. Daniel, if the first guardian and chief secretary can’t be reached and the two departments refuse to partake in the case, Ms. Mandy’s life is at stake and the safety of Swallowston’s people is threatened. May I know if everyone is just going to ignore this matter?”Daniel smiled and said, “I can’t speak for Internal Affairs or the Guardians, but as a member of Wyvern Peak, I will respectfully inform everyone here that War Legate Draco has already departed to the incident location. The legate will protect Swallowston’s people.”All the journalists whispered to one another upon hearing this announcement. They were incredulous. This case was not supposed to be under the jurisdiction of the Battle Warrior Department.From the people’s point of view, the Battle Warrior Department was stationed temporarily in Swallowston until all its members were deployed to the outlands to engage in battle when war was waged. Internal Affairs and the City Guardian Division were

Just as the Battle Warrior Department’s press conference ended and the people of Swallowston were monitoring Mandy’s abduction case closely, the Battle Warrior Department suddenly received calls from the City Guardian Division and Internal Affairs.The City Guardian Division and Internal Affairs requested for War Legate Draco to stand down and for Daniel to make a public apology to them. They wanted the Battle Warrior Department to focus on its own duties and not intervene with unrelated matters.Daniel did not make any substantial reply when he received the requests.Meanwhile, in the watchful eyes of Swallowston’s citizens, the car that Mandy was in had already been towed away from the mountain road in the northern suburbs.A gang was stationed behind a pile of boulders on Mount Cirro. There were people on guard in the surrounding forest who were watching the area vigilantly with their guns out.Mandy, dressed in her formal business suit, was bound and laying on the ground. The

Their nuptial room was the hospital’s ward.After the wedding, Mandy spent her days caring for her sick husband until his ultimate passing two years later. Even though she was widowed at the mere age of thirty-one, her chastity still remained today because her husband had been bedridden from illness.She began to step into the business world after she was done with her husband’s funeral. A few years later, she rose to become one of Southrive’s wealthiest but she did not remarry all this time because of her late husband.Mandy, whose chastity was upheld and who led an honest, clean life, had experienced too much frustration and misery. Now that she heard Sheldon mentioning her past, she became infuriated.She took a deep breath and said, “You may kill me if you want. If you don’t want to kill me, then release me. Otherwise, you won’t be able to kill me when the enforcement team gets here.”Sheldon tutted. He shook his head and heaved a sigh. “Ms. Mandy, I sympathize with your situa

“Do you dare accept the bet?”Mandy clenched her teeth as she spoke her last sentence.Her remark instantly ignited Sheldon’s anger.Sheldon had always been rampant and flew into a great rage when he was provoked in such a bold manner. He spoke through tightly-clenched teeth, “So you want to make a bet huh? Sure, I’ll bet with you. However, you should understand that no one in Swallowston can touch me.“Let me repeat myself. I’m matchless in Swallowston.”Mandy looked at Sheldon and said, “And I will repeat myself too. You won’t live past an hour. Do you want to bet on it?”“What if you lose?” Sheldon said.“If I lose, I will work with you. I will make it so that the whole bank and all the businesses I invested in will help you,” Mandy answered.Sheldon laughed upon hearing this. He said, “What if you win then?”“If I win?” Mandy smiled nonchalantly. “If I win, you’ll be dead!”Sheldon’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this. That was exactly it. He would be dead i

At this point, Mandy started trembling in excitement.She was ecstatic. ‘He’s finally here!’“Ms. Mandy, an hour has passed. Aren’t you going to say something?” Sheldon asked as he checked the time and stood up.At that very moment…“Who’s there?!”Sheldon’s subordinates noticed something unusual and raised their guns. Yet, before they could fire their weapons, a sharp blade flew over and instantly slashed more than twenty people in the throat.They instantly collapsed dead on the ground.Surprised gasps came from Sheldon’s subordinates one after another until they were all dead.“What?” Sheldon was startled.Mandy said, “I told you someone is coming to deal with you.”Sheldon turned around upon hearing Mandy’s remark and saw a man wearing a battle suit walking toward him slowly.He instantly turned pale with fear. He pulled out his walkie-talkie and roared into it, “Everyone, gather at my spot! Gather at my spot!”Although Sheldon was roaring his lungs out, not a single vo

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
