Boom!In an instant, the clash between Adrian and Amethyst Cloud shook the surrounding space. Fierce winds swirled as powerful forces erupted wildly. When they collided, Adrian felt the immense strength of his opponent radiating outward.“Hahaha! Die, boy!” Amethyst Cloud roared, his killing intent surging as he launched another brutal attack.Bang! Bang! Bang!Their energies collided violently, creating a terrifying spectacle. Onlookers watched in shock, amazed that Adrian was holding his own against the mighty Amethyst Cloud.“Even with the age difference, they’re fighting on nearly equal footing,” someone murmured in surprise.An elder nearby shook his head. “It’s too early to tell. For true warriors, battles often intensify over time. We’ll only see who is truly stronger when they reveal their hidden strengths.”The others nodded in agreement. “Yes, we’ll have to wait until the end.”The fight reignited in the void as Adrian and Amethyst Cloud exchanged blows frantically. T
As the battle raged on, Amethyst Cloud's expression shifted from confidence to concern. He hadn’t anticipated the frightening extent of Adrian’s strength. Their powers exploded outward, causing fragments of space to shatter and fall away.“Boy, I’ll show you the meaning of despair!” Amethyst Cloud roared, swinging his massive blade with all his might, fully committing to a fight to the death.Adrian's expression turned icy. “Many have challenged me to fight to the death. You’re just the next one,” he replied defiantly, though a hint of tension lingered in his voice.As their powers clashed once more, a tidal wave of energy surged around them, creating a massive barrier. They continued to collide, their forces rippling outward. With a powerful punch, Adrian struck Amethyst Cloud, sending him flying back.Stunned, Amethyst Cloud shouted, “How is this possible? How can your physical strength be so overwhelming?” Unable to comprehend Adrian’s terrifying power, he was left in disbelief.
“Looks like things aren’t going well for you,” Adrian taunted, unleashing his terrifying power. In an instant, his energy surged forward, crashing down with tremendous force.Boom!Amethyst Cloud felt a powerful force pressing down on him. “Wh-What is this?” Stunned, he struggled to comprehend Adrian’s overwhelming power as it bore down upon him again.Boom!The explosive force seemed to tear through the very fabric of space, and Amethyst Cloud sensed Adrian’s strength reaching an indescribably high level. What shook him most was the realization that Adrian’s power could break through anything in its path.“How are you this strong? You’re a monster!” Amethyst Cloud stared at Adrian in horror and disbelief. Despite his shock, the reality before him left little room for doubt. Adrian’s power was undeniably terrifying.Adrian sneered. “Just because you don’t believe it doesn’t make it any less real. You’re just ignorant.”This insult only fueled Amethyst Cloud's anger, and he shout
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,
Adrian hung up and sat down to wait.After Devin heard what Adrian said, he chuckled. He knew that Daniel was a big shot in Swallowston and that he was the general who worked under the legate. That meant that if he stomped his feet, the city would shake.Devin thought that Adrian was just pretending to call Daniel. It was probably a fake number.“Hahaha! Henry was a genius. Too bad his son isn’t.” Devin continued to laugh.He knew very well what happened to the Xanders since he was a local of Swallowston.Devin said, “Sure, I’ll wait with you. I’d like to see if you can really bring Daniel Summers here.”He then sat down on the couch, lit another cigarette, and crossed his legs.Adrian ignored him and closed his eyes to rest.Within ten minutes, just as Devin was arrogantly enjoying his cigarette, the door of the office was kicked open again and Daniel, who was in uniform, walked in. Devin was shocked.Behind Daniel was the richest man in Swallowston, Damien Holland, owner of
