"What should we do now?" Tyron asked, his expression grim.Being trapped here meant one thing: breaking this formation was not an option."I'm afraid we'll have to wait for the formation to activate its teleportation," Tyron said helplessly.Adrian's eyes gleamed sharply as he coldly responded, "No matter how terrifying this formation is, I refuse to believe there isn't a way to break it. Stay here, Tyron. I’ll investigate the formation for any weaknesses." He began surveying his surroundings, forming intricate seals with his hands as he sought out potential flaws in the formation.Watching Adrian, Tyron felt a wave of shame wash over him. Adrian's control over the situation was far beyond his expectations. Following him made Tyron feel like an ineffectual bystander, constantly reliant on Adrian’s strength. All he could do was watch in silence.Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!The winds roared as Adrian's figure darted around, causing the formation to shake violently. In an instant, the v
At this moment, Adrian focused intently on the details of the formation, searching for its weaknesses. Forcing his way through would only invite disaster.Time passed gradually. In the blink of an eye, half an hour had already elapsed. Tyron, waiting anxiously by the side, began to feel a knot of worry tighten in his chest. The continuous bombardment seemed to yield no results. Would their efforts end in vain?Just as doubt began to creep in, Adrian’s terrifying power erupted with renewed vigor. "Hahaha, finally, I’ve found your flaw!" he exclaimed, his formidable strength surging above, radiating an intense brilliance capable of annihilating everything in its path. He directed this power toward a seemingly calm spot in the void.Tyron's eyes widened in astonishment. Could it be that Adrian had stumbled upon the flaw by accident? His heart raced with a mixture of hope and disbelief.Adrian’s terrifying power collided with the unremarkable space in the air, unleashing an unprecedent
Adrian smiled and said, “That’s beside the point. Let’s head out and see what spirit treasures await us!” His eyes gleamed with anticipation as if he could already see the treasures before him.After all, he had entered this place for extraordinary spirit treasures. Without them, there would have been no purpose in coming here.Tyron didn’t reply, but his eyes sparkled with excitement at the prospect of discovering these treasures. After all, no one could ever have too many spirit treasures. The pair was filled with anticipation, eager to uncover what lay ahead.Stepping into the gaping hole, brilliant light flickered around them, gently enveloping them as if rewarding their passage. The light was surprisingly soothing, filling them with a comforting sensation.Adrian smiled and remarked, “The person who set up this formation must be incredibly powerful. It’s indeed quite formidable. If someone lacking skill in formations entered here, even those at the Astral Stage would likely fi
As everyone pondered in their hearts, Greg glanced around and realized the place had been utterly ransacked."Those two must’ve taken all the spirit treasures here." Greg seethed with anger, a desire for vengeance burning within him. He looked at the others, feeling the urge to take action. Yet, he knew that turning on them would be futile.With an icy gaze, he said, "Everyone, you need to see the situation clearly. If we don’t join forces and stop Adrian, we’ll end up with nothing. Surely, that’s not the outcome you all want?” His expression turned cold.In their hearts, no one wanted to see such a fate. They genuinely sought these spirit treasures and didn’t want to wander aimlessly, only to end up empty-handed."Fine, I’ll go along with you," a middle-aged man said coldly, his strength evident.Greg smiled, sensing his influence growing. With one person on his side, the others’ expressions began to shift.“Okay, we’ll follow your lead for now,” a group of people chimed in. Tho
Swallowston, the biggest city in Navia.Something astounding happened.A private cruise ship appeared on the horizon of the Swallowston Sea. Hundreds of fighter jets escorted the ship from the air while an aircraft carrier sailed behind it. Cars pulled over and onlookers were stopped behind a yellow line. All to open up a path for a legend.The person was rumored to be a bigshot, the protector of Swallowston, bearing the title of “War Legate.”“Welcome back, War Legate!” a roar came from the pier where ten thousand soldiers were lined up, looking in high spirits.A young man disembarked from the ship. He looked majestic with his head held high. He had an air of confidence that could change the mood of wherever he went and seemed unbeatable.The man was a legend in the military and a hero of the country. He was given the title of “War Legate” and was only second to one other person. He founded the Blood Corps which was sharp as a sword and was undefeatable. This man was a legend
“What? The war legate is coming?” Everyone’s eyes grew wide upon hearing the news.“Wilfred, who is this war legate? Was he the one…” Leonard was in awe.There was only one person who held that title in all of Navia—the leader of the Blood Corps. There was no other like him.The entire city of Swallowston had to accommodate the man’s every move today.“Who else? Of course, it’s the Bellum Legate who had a ten thousand soldier-strong blockade today.”“Heavens, he’s coming to our home?”“Grandfather is so famous that even the legate is coming to see him?”The legate was well-known among the citizens, but few had ever seen him.“The gods are smiling upon our family.” Harold raised his hands. “Ever since Henry’s death, our family has been blessed with wave after wave of prosperity. Even the legate is coming to celebrate my birthday!”Everyone present was excited. What had they done to deserve attention from the legate?The Xanders were overjoyed.***“Father, the legate is almos
After saying that, Adrian left Xander Manor with his mother and sister.There was no reason for him to stay any longer.***Once they left, Cecelia said, “He thinks he’s so important after having been in the army for only seven years? He thinks he can tear down our family? What a joke.”Everyone burst out laughing.“Wilfred, can you find out when the legate will be arriving?” Harold put the matter aside and asked his son.“Yes, Father.” Wilfred nodded, then quickly called the person who had contacted him earlier.The Xanders started getting ready. The women put on makeup so they could present their best selves to the legate.After some time, Wildred turned to his father awkwardly. “Father, they said that he was here and just left.”“What?” Harold was worried.He came and left? Why?He turned to look at them and anxiously asked, “Did you see anyone come in?”“No one else other than Adrian.” Everyone shrugged.Harold took a deep breath. Did he miss his chance for a big break?
The two men said that Samantha and someone named Mr. Devin were spending time alone in her office. But from what Rue said, Samantha was a loyal woman.Why would a woman like that do what she was doing? Was there some sort of misunderstanding?Adrian went up to the office.***CEO’s office, the Bailar Group.A beautiful woman sat in the office. She had long hair and a nice figure. She was elegant and had a pair of long, slender legs that were crossed under the desk.That was Samantha Cowell.Her company had been kicked out of the Alyanz Chamber of Commerce because of sabotage from competitors, and she was accused of wrongdoing. To avoid going to jail, she was forced to give her company away.That night was her last night at the office. Years of hard work were going to disappear, so she was feeling upset.“Samantha, have you signed the agreement?”The door of her office opened and a middle-aged man walked in. He smiled and asked her after walking in.The man was Devin Williams,
