The Return of the War Legate Chapter 482
“I only smashed a couple of machines. Moreover, the machines still work so nineteen thousand dollars is already quite a lot of money,” Elroy said anxiously.“It’s one million and five hundred thousand dollars now,” Adrian announced.“One million and five hundred thousand?”Elroy was crying. He had not even made one million in profit after opening his factory for so many years, and now this man was asking for one million five hundred in compensation? He figured he would not scrape together that much money even after he sold the factory.He burst into tears for real this time. He never expected to get himself into trouble today. Moreover, he was in deep trouble.Elroy said anxiously, “I’m sorry, my friend. I’m at fault for not recognizing your mightiness. Let’s talk about the compensation another day, okay? Please let me get to the hospital first!”Adrian chuckled. “I’ve always been very strict in the way I do things. Either I get the money or I’ll break that other arm of yours. Ei

Soon, these people left, and calmness returned to the factory.Vivian, Reiss, Joanna, and the others were shocked by Adrian’s mercilessness. In fact, they even wondered if he was the Adrian they knew. However, when they thought about it from another angle, they figured that there was a price for everything.And this was Elroy’s price for what he did.They thought about it and figured that Elroy’s gang would not have the courage to bully others and assume they were unparalleled from now on.“Whoa, that was scary!” Joanna felt relieved after Elroy and the others were gone. She patted her chest gently. She was scared out of her wits earlier.Everybody else was relieved too.Reiss said, “You did a good job, Adrian. I’m sure Elroy will remember this lesson for the rest of his life. He might even have nightmares of you from now on.”She had witnessed Adrian’s method before and knew that her brother had probably experienced the same thing as Elroy before his passing. If Adrian had not

Adrian considered for a moment and said, “You’ve set your bar too high. There are many good men in Swallowston, you know? You can find someone and settle down. After that, you can have a child. You can have it all too.”“Get out of here!” Joanna glared at Adrian. “What do you know? The greatest happiness in a woman’s life is to have a child with her lover. I can’t just stoop so low and get pregnant with just anybody, right?”Adrian said, “Fine. What’s your type then? I’ll set you up on a date another day.”“Someone like you,” Joanna said bluntly.“Like me?”“Yes!”Joanna giggled and said, “First, the person has to look as handsome and domineering as you. In truth, the definition of handsome according to most women is not based upon the man’s good looks but it’s the man’s masculine presence.”Adrian answered, “Ah, I see. Go on…”Joanna narrowed her eyes and sank into deep thought. “Second, the man will need to have abs and some scars, just like you. Also, he has to know how to p

Patrick recognized Joanna at one glance.Even though she was concealing her face, she could not hide from her father.Joanna inhaled a deep breath and sat upright. She glanced at Patrick and said nonchalantly, “What are you doing here?”Patrick frowned. He looked at Adrian, then looked back at Joanna. He appeared to be a little angry and berated, “Joanna, you’re the heiress of an influential family but look at you now. Are you conducting yourself in a proper manner?”It was only normal for Patrick to be furious after finding his daughter with a man.Upon hearing this, Joanna refuted, “How am I being improper? What’s wrong with what I’m doing? What have I done to disgrace you? Or have I ruined your reputation?”“Who is this person? Are you dating him?” Patrick pointed at Adrian. He then said, “Joanna, I don’t care what you’ve been doing out here but you have to come back to Northrive with me this instant. Your marriage date has already been set so you will come home and get marrie

Patrick instantly flew into a great rage when he saw Joanna being hugged by a man.He shouted, “Get him!”A few bodyguards got out of Patrick’s car and surrounded Adrian’s.Patrick said, “Boy, how dare you challenge my limits. I’m going to break both your legs today and then put you in jail!”Adrian chuckled and said, “Your daughter consented to this and you can’t stop it. Also, as a father, you have the right to an opinion in your daughter’s marriage but the final choice is not up to you.“I recommend you leave and figure out a way to fix your relationship with Jojo. Give up on the idea of arranging a marriage for her just so you can help your illegitimate son..”Patrick wanted to arrange a marriage for Joanna so that the DuPont family’s influence would grow.The DuPont family would be handed over to his illegitimate son, Jimmy, in the future. Now, his illegitimate son had already been recognized as a member of the family and had moved into the family home after Joanna’s mother

Joanna burst into tears of fear after being shouted at.Or, one should say that she was crying from anxiety. On one hand, Patrick was her father, and on the other, Adrian wanted to protect her.She was at a loss for what to do.Joanna said to Patrick with tearful eyes, “I’m begging you, Father. Please treat me like a human being. Mother has already passed away and my situation is already pitiful enough. Just go home and live your life with your new wife in peace. Why do you insist on me going with you?”Patrick had already made the announcement and set a marriage date for Joanna. He was here to take her home so she could get married. He would be humiliated if his daughter refused to return with him.Joanna’s tears did not affect Patrick. In his opinion, he was saving his daughter, albeit he had his ulterior motive.“I will say this one last time. Come to me now or I’ll show you how your boyfriend will be beaten up until all his limbs are broken,” Patrick said through his clenched

Samantha noticed that Joanna looked like she had been crying as soon as she walked through the door.Even though Joanna had already cleaned up on the way home, Samantha still noticed it.She hastily said, “What’s going on with Jojo, Adrian? Did you bully her? Why did she cry?”Adrian shrugged.Joanna replied, “It’s nothing. I’m fine, Sam.”Adrian explained, “Her father came to see her and tried to make her go home to get married.”Samantha was astonished by the story and immediately started seething in anger. ‘Why are marriage alliances still being practiced in this day and age?’“That’s ridiculous!”Samantha ranted, “Is there something wrong with that man’s head or something? He got rid of his wife and put his daughter in a bad situation, yet he’s still proud of himself. A deadbeat like him doesn’t deserve to be rich!”Adrian was frustrated by Joanna’s encounter, but the only thing he could do now was to ensure that Joanna would not be taken away by them. However, Patrick did

Everyone was enlightened by Rue’s remark.Samantha chuckled and looked at Adrian with narrowed eyes.Adrian hastily shook his head. “No, that is not happening. If Jojo were to assume the identity of the legate’s wife, more people will come to kill her in the future. I can’t just stay by her side and guard her for the rest of my life, right?”There were countless people in the outlands watching Adrian closely. Thus, he had no plans to reveal Samantha’s identity. If her identity was exposed to the world, assassins would come non-stop and that would be troublesome.What if he was caught off guard and someone succeeded? It would haunt him for the rest of his life.Joanna asked Samantha, “He’s right, Sam. It’s clear that this is not feasible. Is there any other way?”Samantha said, “I’m not asking you to announce it publicly but to figure out a way to convince the DuPont family that Jojo is the legate’s wife.”“What if the DuPont family were to publicly announce that their daughter i

The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4815
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4813
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 Return of the War Legate Chapter 4812
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4811
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4809
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4808
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4807
"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
