The Return of the War Legate Chapter 484
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 487
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

Patrick had traveled all night from Swallowston to Northrive but had yet to calm down.He stormed into the living room in a rage.“You’re home, Father.” Jimmy hastily walked over to welcome his father’s arrival.Jimmy’s mother, Rosie, quickly came out of the room too.Rosie Wade was forty years old this year and was ten years younger than Patrick. She had become his mistress when she was eighteen and became pregnant with Jimmy. She only married Patrick legally after Joanna’s mother passed away.Rosie said, “How’s everything, Pat? Did you manage to bring Joanna home?”“Hmph!” Patrick slammed the table loudly and grunted.“Jim, get your father a drink. Quickly now!” Rosie hastily said to Jimmy.Jimmy hurriedly got a glass of whisky. “Have a drink, Father!”Patrick threw his head back and downed the glass. He then angrily said, “Let’s not talk about it anymore. Joanna is dating someone in Swallowston, and that man is wildly conceited. He showed me no respect and hugged Joanna rig
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 491
Thanks to Patrick’s compliments, Jimmy once again felt that he was growing more and more capable.Soon, Jimmy left the DuPont residence, while Patrick quickly prepared to head over to Swallowston once more to bring Joanna home.***As Jimmy stepped out, he made some calls to gather his friends in Northrive before driving over to the Drake residence.The Drake family was one of the ten most powerful families in Northrive. In fact, they were one of the strongest. A single command from them was all it took to wipe out the entire family of anyone who got on their bad side. After all, some of their own people held high-ranking positions within Internal Affairs.Consequently, to establish a good relationship with them, Patrick suggested that Joanna be wed to Grisha, the eldest son of the Drake family.However, Grisha had a mental disability since birth and was rather well-known as an eight-year-old boy living in an adult’s body. On top of that, Grisha’s legs were weak and he needed the

The scene was utterly horrifying, a sight that would chill anyone to the bone.Renee’s expression turned cold.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!It was as if a violent gale was tearing through the area.Renee's expression was laced with murderous intent, waves of killing intent radiating from her. Despite borrowing Adrian’s power, she was uncertain of how much longer she could hold out. Although she could sense the fluctuations of his power, her body was already reaching its limit under the relentless assault of this endless, divine thunderstorm.While the power itself wasn’t an issue, her physical body wasn’t as sturdy as Adrian's. The unending barrage of divine lightning combined with the might of the formation made her feel excruciatingly uncomfortable.As for Adrian, his hands were covered in countless afterimages which were actually the results of him deducing the formation. Renee was utterly shocked. She had witnessed Ciawales formation experts deducing formations before, but that wa

Adrian was truly astonishing. If Renee failed to protect him properly, the mysterious forces within the formation could strike him down, leading to his death and obliteration. The thought weighed heavily on her, filling her with worry. Despite her capabilities, Renee doubted her ability to safeguard Adrian who possessed overwhelming power far beyond her own. He probably had three times her strength.Feeling helpless, she said, "I'm afraid I might not be able to protect you. If something goes wrong, we could both end up buried here."Adrian responded coldly, "Don’t worry about that. If I asked you to help, it’s because I’m confident." He then commanded, "Begin." He waved his hand, and a grand formation materialized in the void. He instructed, "Step into the center, Renee. This formation will enhance your strength by allowing my power to flow through you.""What?" Renee was stunned, her eyes filled with shock. She couldn’t believe Adrian’s abilities were so vast. The sight was extra

Waves of violent tremors surged through the heavens and earth, shattering everything before them. Adrian's entire body pulsed with a surge of wild energy that erupted outward."Break!" Adrian roared, his voice piercing the skies. The sword in his hand sliced through the air, shattering everything in its path. The sheer force was both intimidating and terrifying.Boom!“Go to hell!” he shouted.Boom, boom, boom!A terrifying wave of power exploded forth. A yellowish aura emanated from Adrian's hand, catching Renee’s attention. Her eyes widened in surprise."What kind of power is this? Why does it feel so powerful? I’ve never seen anything like it before," Renee muttered in astonishment. Despite her vast knowledge, she had never encountered such a force.Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!The arcane power in Adrian’s hand rapidly sliced through the air, tearing apart the air itself. The scene was overwhelmingly frightening.Crack, crack, crack!Suddenly, the space around them collided and

Adrian hadn’t anticipated that there would be a formation awaiting them up ahead. This certainly added a layer of danger. Whoever had set this up was quite cunning.Renee glanced around, her eyes filled with surprise. It was clear this wasn’t an ordinary formation.“The formation around us is rumored to be an ancient one. It’s said to be extremely terrifying, capable of unleashing boundless power if we’re not careful,” she warned, her gaze fixed intently on their surroundings.Adrian paused for a moment, slightly taken aback. An ancient formation, was it? It sounded formidable. It seemed that the place they had entered was far from simple.He scrutinized their surroundings without a hint of panic or anxiety. Instead, his eyes flashed with a sharp killing intent.Boom!Before Adrian could make a move, the formation began to activate. White lights surged from all directions like an unstoppable tide. He and Renee were now trapped within a confined space.Boom, boom, boom!Violent

Adrian had rushed into the lightning storm, not because of recklessness or a desire to play the hero. The truth was simpler—he wanted to become even stronger.These lightning bolts might represent a deadly force to others, a hellish trap. But for Adrian, they were the perfect nourishment to temper his body.Boom, boom, boom!The terrifying energy rippled through the sky, causing the entire world to tremble. It was a fearsome sight. The unending waves of power distorted the air, making the scene look unimaginably frightening.Crackle, crackle, crackle!Inside the heart of the storm, Adrian stood still, allowing the lightning to strike him mercilessly. It was a shocking sight. Renee watched, frozen in disbelief.‘What is he doing? Will he die? And if he does… What will happen to me?’ Renee felt a strange pang of sorrow.Unconsciously, she realized she had become deeply concerned about Adrian. Although he had called her his servant on this journey, he had always treated her with re

When Adrian spoke, Renee was left speechless. This guy was truly exasperating. The fluctuation of the mysterious force was known to be deadly. Many powerful warriors had perished here. It was a notorious region where even the strongest could meet their end.Boom, boom, boom!Up ahead, waves of energy surged violently. Renee’s eyes widened in shock as she watched Adrian’s calm expression. This man was either insanely brave or utterly reckless.It seemed Adrian’s luck wasn’t the best as the mysterious force had become active. Normally, if the force remained dormant, they could safely pass through. However, when it stirred, everything would be thrown into chaos.Crackle, crackle, crackle!Suddenly, countless bolts of lightning appeared in the air, writhing like serpents. The crackling energy split the sky and thunder boomed, filling the surroundings with terrifying, earth-shaking power.Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!The energy tore through the sky, causing the world around them to trembl
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4579
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!The sound of rushing winds filled the air as Adrian and Renee sped toward Death Valley without a moment’s pause. Their speed was astounding, and Renee watched the landscape blur by, her eyes filled with astonishment. She couldn’t fathom Adrian’s incredible strength. Even while dragging her along, he moved with the swiftness of a warrior at the Integration Stage.“Up ahead is Death Valley. We need to slow down. They say you can’t fly here or the mysterious force within will strike you down instantly,” Renee quickly warned Adrian.Adrian paused briefly, then chuckled calmly. “Oh? Is that so? How interesting.”This was the first time Adrian had heard of such a dangerous place. Although he found it intriguing, his expression turned serious and he decided to land. However, he didn’t remain idle. He immediately raised his hand and unleashed a strike toward the sky.Whoosh!A surge of wild power erupted, piercing the heavens. The energy was so intense that it see

“Feeling calmer now?” Adrian asked with a faint smile as he looked at the Azure Naga. This creature was clearly seeking its death. Now, under Adrian’s relentless assault, it was suffering immensely.The Azure Naga’s furious roars echoed through the air, sounding terrifying. The once-mighty beast now appeared pitiful, its entire body battered and broken, with no intact parts remaining.Renee couldn’t bear to watch and covered her eyes. The naga’s fate was too tragic. Adrian, who now seemed like a daemon incarnate, had tortured the creature to within an inch of its life.“Die!” With a swing of his sword, Adrian unleashed a strike that tore through the sky, obliterating everything in its path. The sword’s force was like a radiant rainbow, cutting through heaven and earth.Renee stood in stunned silence, unable to comprehend how Adrian could accomplish such a feat. His power was simply too frightening.Boom!The energy surged and pierced the heavens. The sword strike sliced through
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4577
Adrian’s punch was ferocious beyond measure, and the enormous beast before him radiated a terrifying power, looking incredibly fearsome.Boom!The immense force surged through the air. Adrian’s expression remained calm and indifferent. To him, this Azure Naga was simply courting death. Despite being on a similar level of strength, the beast relied on its status as a monster, believing itself invincibly powerful. It underestimated humans, which would be its fatal mistake.In the human world, not all were physically formidable, but there was always someone stronger than the last. Adrian was an anomaly, and the Azure Naga was destined to suffer for its arrogance.Thud, thud, thud!The massive naga was sent flying by Adrian’s strike, crashing heavily into the distance, looking pitiful and battered. The naga’s enormous eyes widened in disbelief. It couldn’t fathom Adrian striking it down so easily. It realized it was utterly powerless before this human.Adrian didn’t let up and presse
