After witnessing how effortlessly Adrian defeated such a formidable being, Tyron felt embarrassed. Logically, Adrian could have absorbed the energy by himself, yet he offered it to Tyron, making him feel as though he was taking advantage. Truthfully, Tyron had already benefited greatly, and accepting more only added to his guilt.But Adrian wasn’t having it. "What’s with all the nonsense? Just hurry up and take it before I get angry," he said.Reluctantly, Tyron joined Adrian, flying into the sky where the dense energy hovered. Together, they began absorbing the powerful essence, feeling their strength increase rapidly.Tyron was overwhelmed by how much stronger he had become, leaving him in awe. Once again, Adrian had given him an immense opportunity. Gratitude mixed with guilt gnawed at him, and he couldn’t help but admire Adrian even more.Adrian smiled faintly. "Not bad at all. That guy's energy has given us a solid boost. At this rate, we might be on the verge of a breakthroug
Adrian's punch shattered the surrounding space.Tyron stood frozen, utterly shocked by the display. "Incredible! You’re a monster, Adrian!" he exclaimed.Adrian chuckled in response. "Haha, it's nothing special. Don’t worry about it too much."A gaping void appeared in the shattered space. Without hesitation, Adrian and Tyron darted toward it, disappearing from sight in an instant.Suddenly, the sound of rushing wind echoed as figures rushed through the air. Moments later, a group led by Greg arrived on the scene. Their expressions were grim as they surveyed the destruction, unsure of what had just transpired.Greg’s expression twisted in anger as he observed the dark energy swirling ominously from the void. "Hmph! That lingering aura... It has to be him. They've already taken all the treasures." His words dripped with frustration and resentment and his eyes burned with intense anger. In his mind, every treasure should have been his.The others in his group understood Greg’s desi
This group wasn't particularly skilled, but they excelled at shifting blame onto others. Any obstacle they couldn't overcome was quickly placed on someone else's shoulders. Adrian had grown accustomed to Greg's antics, as blaming others was the only tactic Greg had relied on from the start.At that moment, Adrian and Tyron broke through the void, disappearing in an instant. Ahead of them, waves of cyan light surged, revealing a hidden and ominous world that grew increasingly unsettling.Adrian frowned deeply. Behind the glow lay an entirely different realm."Adrian, the light up ahead feels strange. Should we charge through?" Tyron asked, furrowing his brow. He sensed that something was off.Adrian's expression turned grim as he replied, "We need to be cautious. One wrong move, and it could be more than we bargained for."This place was far from safe, and they had already spent considerable time exploring the secret realm. Both understood that they needed to find a way out soon. A
At this moment, they had no choice but to move forward.Rumble…A series of terrifying vibrations shook the air, making the void around them tremble. The entire realm felt restless and unnerving.“In that case, let’s break through!” Adrian declared, unleashing his attack.Boom!The force of Adrian’s punch seemed capable of shattering space itself, showcasing his extraordinary strength. However, he quickly realized something was off. His blow failed to inflict any significant damage on the barrier before him.“Hmph! I refuse to believe this!” He scoffed, launching another strike.Boom!The deafening impact reverberated, causing discomfort for everyone nearby. Tyron watched in astonishment. The blue light ahead was indeed strange. Despite Adrian's efforts, it seemed impossible to penetrate this radiant barrier.Yet, Adrian refused to back down. "Heavenly Body Training Art!" he shouted, throwing another powerful punch at the blue light. This time, his attack broke through, creati
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,
