Rupert’s face was still bruised. Although he had already done simple first aid on his injuries, he was still in really bad shape on the whole.

Adrian made a gesture and said, “Go.”

“Yes, sir!”

Rupert waved his hand as he gave his order, followed by the first team kicking down Byron’s door and charging inside. Adrian and Rupert followed behind them.

At that very moment, Byron was still having fun with an exquisite-looking woman upstairs when his door was suddenly kicked down. More than a dozen men charged into the room with their guns aimed at him and his woman.

Byron was so shocked when the door was kicked down that he started shaking, while the woman shrieked and covered herself with the blanket.

Bryon scurried to grab his clothes to put them on as looked at the people in front of him. “What are you guys doing?! Are you all mad?! How dare you barge into my room!”

He could instantly tell that the men before him were from Internal Affairs based on their battle suits, which was wh

    Byron was stunned when he heard this.‘Working with the Luposians? Providing them support?’Byron was just calmly sitting in his office hours ago, not expecting to end up being arrested by the Battle Warrior Department. Because of this, he was furious.‘I’m the deputy chief secretary of Internal Affairs! I won’t allow anyone to step over my authority!’“How dare you accuse me, Draco! Our departments have never been at odds with one another so how dare you meddle in my affairs!” Byron stood on the bed and yelled at Adrian.“Silence!” Rupert suddenly swung a punch at Byron’s face, causing the latter to collapse onto the bed in pain. In fact, a few of his teeth had fallen off from that ferocious punch.“Are you still going to pretend that you’re a decent man, Byron? You’re hereby under arrest by War Legate Draco himself. Nobody is going to come and save you now!”Byron’s fury meter finally reached its peak, unable to believe that he had just been punched by his subordinate. “Rupert

    “All right. I’ve already prepared your bath. Go wash up. You stink!”“Okay.” Adrian headed into the bathroom and showered before putting on the pajamas Samantha had laid out for him.Samantha was still reading her book after he was done. He asked, “By the way, do you know a person by the name of Tanner Dunn?”“Tanner Dunn?” Samantha seemed confused while Adrian nodded.Adrian wanted to be more thorough with his investigation since Sheldon mentioned his name.Samantha then replied, “I know the guy. He’s the deputy director of the SK Group and is a Luposian businessman. SK is considered a foreign-invested medium-sized company in Swallowston.“Why do you ask?” Samantha asked curiously.Adrian pondered for a moment before he smiled at her and said, “Something’s off with him, and I plan on meeting him tomorrow.”“He’s not going to be easy to meet. I’m sure you won’t be able to meet him if you walk in unannounced. Why don’t I get someone from the office to contact him for a meeting o

    The SK Group was a foreign-invested, medium-sized company in Swallowston.Quite a number of Luposians were working, and Tanner was one of them.For the longest time, Luposians had never received any restrictions while conducting their business here. They were not even affected by the constant battle in the outlands. In fact, many locals worked for SK.Adrian soon arrived at their gates and was about to drive inside when the company’s security guards stopped him. SK’s internal security consisted solely of Luposians. Locals were hired as security because the company was afraid they might be proven to be irresponsible, thus opting to use their own people.One of the security guards knocked on Adrian’s car window before gesturing for him to step out of the car for an inspection.“No outsider and their cars are allowed within the premises so what are you doing here? Are you here to meet someone?” a Luposian security guard in his uniform asked in broken Navillian, the native language of

    The woman brushed her hair away from her face and beamed when she realized Adrian was not able to recognize her. “Do you not recognize me?”Adrian tried his best to recall, and a figure suddenly appeared in his mind. Instantly, he knew who the woman was.“Ms. Vivian?” Adrian asked.Ms. Vivian, or Vivian Arce, was Adrian’s homeroom teacher back when he was at Swallowston High. It was she who chose Reiss to be the class monitor. Vivan was only twenty-five years old at the time and was now well over thirty. Adrian’s memory of her was still quite vivid.Seeing that he finally recognized her, Vivian chuckled and walked towards Adrian. “It really is you, Adrian. Long time no see. When did you get so tall?”Adrian was very surprised, not expecting to find Vivian there. She was the one who helped him become fluent in Lupolish.After being Adrian’s homeroom teacher for three years, one would be right to say that he had Adrian spend most of his life in high school with her.Still surprise

    Vivian started asking about Adrian’s personal life.After all, he had been her student once and they were able to run into each other out of sheer luck.However, Adrian had no idea how to answer her question. After a brief pause, he said, “I’m married too, Viv.”“What?” Vivian seemed pleasantly surprised as she looked at Adrian. “Well done, you! You’re such a handsome man so I’m sure you bagged yourself a beautiful wife as well, haven’t you? So, who’s the lucky girl?”Adrian remained silent for a while before smiling sheepishly. “You’ve probably heard of her. Her name’s Samantha Cowell.”“S-Samantha?”“Samantha Cowell,” Adrian repeated.Vivian was instantly shocked and could not find the words to say for a while. She had an awkward expression on her face and seemed caught in a daze.After a long pause, she still seemed to be in disbelief as she said, “There have been so many rumors going around about how the eldest son of the Xanders married the eldest daughter of the Cowells…

    Adrian was just about to ask her a question he had in mind too.“Are you acquainted with a guy by the name of Tanner Dunn?” Adrian asked.“You mean our deputy director?”“Yes, that’s him.”“I’ve rarely seen him. Twice over the past four years that I’ve been working with SK, to be exact. They were both during some special meeting too. Is there a reason why you’re looking for him?” Vivian asked.Adrian chose not to answer her question but asked another one of his own instead. “What does your company do? Do you guys regularly receive and deliver goods?”Vivian sounded sure of herself as she said, “Of course, we do. We have imports and exports almost every month. Most of them are sent to Sandy Bay Harbor, while others are done at some smaller harbors. Why do you ask?”“Have you noticed them receiving anything that seems suspicious?”Vivian thought about it for a moment. “Such as?”“Something that’s rather mysterious or unique. So much so that not even the people who unload them ar

    Vivian was referring to a hub within another hub inside of SK.This special hub was located in the outskirts, but the entrance to enter it was inside their company’s main hub, which was operated by Luposians. It was impossible to conceal a secret forever so it was only natural that someone would catch wind of what was happening.Hearing this, Adrian asked, “Do you know where the entrance to this hub is?”Vivian shook her head. “I’m not sure, but I know that it’s called the Scorpio Hub. The Luposians inside the company are very tight-lipped about it so we locals have no idea what’s going on inside. What we do know is that the entrance to Scorpio Hub is from Hub Four.”‘Sounds like the weapons I’m looking for are inside Scorpio Hub,’ Adrian thought.“Viv, you should stop working at SK. Also, could you please take me to the hub where I can find Scorpio Hub? I need to get inside so that I can apprehend them,” Adrian said.Vivian fell silent for a while, hesitating. After a while, she

    Vivian, who was from an ordinary family, could feel how spectacular Jewel Road was and could not help taking in the scenery for as long as she could.She looked out the car window and saw all the luxurious villas along the way, her heart racing. ‘I can’t imagine any woman who wouldn’t want to live such a life.’Of course, this included Vivian herself.As the car pulled into One Jewel Road, Vivian quickly got out and said, “Wow… Do you live here?”Adrian smiled after getting out of his car and said, “Yes, I only just moved in recently. Let’s head inside, Viv. I’ve invited a few others to join us. They’ll be here soon.”“What? But… Hang on. We were in such a rush that I forgot to bring a gift. Also, is your wife home?” Vivian seemed slightly frightened and embarrassed as she spoke. She was in an unfamiliar environment, which made her feel uncomfortable.“I’m happy that you’re here. There’s no need for a gift. Sam’s at the office, but my mother and little sister are home.”Vivian h

    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

    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 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

    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

    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

    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

    "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
