Tanner tried to leave but a dagger was suddenly pressed against his neck before he could do so.

“Nobody is leaving this place without the legate’s permission. Anyone who tries will be executed.”

Tanner trembled profusely but tried to put on a strong front as he retreated. He was surrounded, his text messages blocked, and his orders unable to be dispatched. The only thing he could do now was to wait and pray that his men down there would be able to kill the legate. Otherwise, he was in for a whole lot of trouble.

Seeing this, Daniel could not stop himself from letting out a laugh and said, “I get the feeling that you’re treating us locals like idiots, Mr. Tanner. Anyway, today is a good opportunity to show you just how powerful our legate is.”

Tanner pretended to not understand what Daniel was saying and sounded a lot friendlier as he said, “General Daniel, I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. Maybe there’s some misunderstanding between us? Since the legate is here, why don

    “Move, move, move! They should be just up ahead!” yelled the leading Luposian.More than ten thousand people then rushed into the tunnel. However, as they charged in completely unguarded, a figure suddenly showed up out of nowhere and was followed by a flash of light.Instantly, screams of agony could be heard along with blood splatters as dozens of their numbers fell to the ground. This sudden turn of events caused the others to feel helpless.In fact, they could not even tell who had attacked them.Then, Adrian rushed out and charged toward the group of Luposians. Some of them were so spooked they began to fire their guns randomly, killing their own comrades as a result. At the end of the day, this tunnel was not suited for gun combat due to how enclosed it was.Adrian’s surprise attack instantly threw the entire place into chaos.“What the hell! What’s going on?!” yelled a Luposian who could not wrap his head around what was happening.“Where is he?!”“Where’d he go?!”Some

    Maybe they decided to change their strategy.Twenty minutes later, the trio left the tunnel and arrived at a brightly lit cavern. It was revealed to be a huge underground hub with many rooms leading off of it. There were all kinds of stuff inside the hub, including daily necessities, food, and weapons.It was clear that this place had constantly been inhabited, with a lot of tenants no less.Adrian stopped and signaled for Vivian and Bram to stay back. ‘It’s too quiet here… Something is off.’“You two stay here and wait for me.” Adrian walked into the hub and climbed on top of some crates to scan the area.Vivian whispered, “Be careful, Adrian! There might be people around the area!”Bram held his breath as well.At that moment, the door of the surrounding rooms got kicked down, followed by countless gunshots as men showed up one after the other. All of the gunfire was aimed in Adrian’s direction in a net formation.Without a moment’s hesitation, Adrian jumped off the crates an

    A historical event was taking place inside the underground SK hub.The Luposians had been hiding inside Scorpio Hub for many years, lying in wait till the day they executed their plans. Yet, Adrian’s sudden appearance had turned their plans to ashes.These Luposians sent from the outlands had never experienced what a true battlefield was like so they had no idea what a real massacre was.After half an hour’s worth of gore and slaughter, all that was left were heaps of bodies on the floor. As Adrian broke the neck of the last man, there were no longer any Luposians standing on their feet within Scorpio Hub.There were a few more who were struggling to get up but Adrian mercilessly snapped their necks beneath his feet, thus ending the battle. As he tossed away his daggers and scanned his surroundings, he saw that Scorpio Hub was a huge mess.Vivan rushed toward him in glee and said, “That was intense, Adrian! You did great out there! You’ve just made me a huge fan!”Adrian shot a g

Soon afterward, the place was sealed off and Daniel’s subordinates were dispatched to clean it up. SK was always shut down and would not be opening its doors any time soon.A stretcher was brought over. Adrian placed Bram on it, held his hand, and said, “Brother, go to the hospital and recuperate in peace. Thank you so much for what you did today.”Bram waved at Adrian and said, “Sir, please don’t forget about me. Remember that I gave my life for Wyvern Peak.”Vivian was amused by Bram’s statement.Then,

The SK incident that had turned the night upside down would come to an end today.Samantha insisted on following him because she was bored at home.Adrian could not bring himself to reject her so he took Samantha with him to the Battle Warrior Department.***Adrian and Samantha walked into the Battle Warrior Tower of Swallowston.

    Adrian said, “I’ve always acted deceitfully in the face of an enemy army. You should know this very well. Hence, my words may not necessarily be trustable.”“You…”Byron’s entire body was shaking from anger. Adrian smiled at him, but in his eyes, Adrian’s smile looked like the smile of the devil.Then, Adrian shifted his gaze to Tanner and said, “How about you, Tanner? I’d like to know if you were pleasantly surprised. Did I catch you off guard?”Tanner’s face was drenched in sweat. Large droplets dripped onto the floor. He would be lying if he said he was not scared.No one would be able to remain calm in the face of death.However, Tanner suppressed his fear with great effort and answered, “Sir, I don’t know if I made a mistake at some point but I’ve always been very cautious over the years. How did you find out about this?”Adrian sipped his coffee and shook his head. “I haven’t been in Swallowston over the past few years.”Tanner broke down upon hearing this revelation. He

    Joanna widened her eyes in surprise as she continued to eat.She asked, “Adrian, why are you looking to befriend a single woman? Are you planning to remarry? Come to me if you wish to remarry. I’m single. What do you think?”Adrian glared at Joanna. In truth, he had considered Joanna before but realized that she and Bram would not make a good match.Adrian had promised Bram that he would set Bram up with a girl. As War Legate Draco, he had to keep his word to his own people.Vivian told Adrian that Bram would be discharged from the hospital this afternoon and he recalled that he had to set Bram up with a date. Hence, he asked Samantha about that.Adrian said, “Jojo, will you please stop thinking about such nonsense? Why would I want to remarry out of nowhere? Also, where would I find someone else as beautiful as Sam?”“If you don’t wish to remarry, why are you asking about single women? I am single though…” Joanna muttered.Adrian smacked his forehead and then told the group abo

    She admonished, “Sam, can you please not paint everyone with the same brush? I am. I am one of them!”Samantha hastily corrected herself, “Oh, right, right. There’s only one out of ten women who are like Joanna. It will be very difficult to find one.”Joanna shrugged and said, “However, I don’t like chubby men. I like men like Adrian who have stubble on their face, are mature, handsome, and also good at uplifting women.”Adrian silently glared at Joanna.Samantha asked him, “How about it? Should I bring it up with Mitty? It doesn’t matter if they end up not liking each other, but what if they do hit it off?”“All right, I’ll meet with him later while you go to the company and seek out this woman’s opinion. I’ll get them a gift as a blessing if the set-up is a success,” Adrian said.“What will you give them as a gift?” Samantha was puzzled.“A thirty-thousand-dollar car. Bram helped me a great deal, after all. He’s quite courageous and is very dependable.”Samantha considered fo

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?

    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
