The Return of the War Legate Chapter 488
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

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

“She’s supposed to become a member of our family! How dare she fool around with other men!”“Has your sister slept with another man, Jim?”The Drakes were hellbent on wedding Grisha to someone who was perfectly clean. Plus, there was no telling who Joanna might end up in bed with after she married into their family. After all, there were a bunch of men within the Drakes who were waiting to have fun with her on Grisha’s behalf.Jimmy tried to calm everyone down by waving his hands in a downward motion. “Calm down, everyone. I came here because I’d like Moses to take a trip down to Swallowston with me. My father has asked for Joanna’s boyfriend to be turned into a cripple and for her to be dragged back here.”“Nonsense!” Moses yelled, “I won’t be satisfied with just crippling him. I want him killed!“All right, I’ll go with you. I want to see for myself if your sister has been in bed with someone else. I won’t forgive her if she has slept with another man!”“I’m coming too.” Abigai

After a moment, the two finally returned to their senses, with Jimmy turning toward Joanna.With a cold voice, he said, “Joanna, as a woman—a woman of the DuPont family no less—have you no shame? I want you to come back to Northrive with me this instant!”Jimmy used to be Patrick’s illegitimate son but was recently legitimized. On the contrary, Joanna was the one who turned into the illegitimate daughter after her mother died, which explained why Jimmy was able to talk to her in such a manner.Joanna thought his words laughable when she heard them, and Samantha thought it was hilarious.But at that moment, Moses said, “You’re supposed to be my brother’s wife, Joanna. Your marriage date has already been set so you must return to Northrive with me today. As for the guy next to you, well… He’s a dead man!”‘Thank goodness Father isn’t here,’ Joanna thought.She might have stopped Adrian if Patrick were there instead of Jimmy. However, since it was Jimmy, someone completely unrelated

Adrian casually chucked Moses’ body aside followed by the sound of a loud “thud.”“Aah!”The men Moses brought scattered like a flock of headless chickens after Moses was killed. None of them were brave enough to remain there for another second longer.Abigail was screaming in fear. Meanwhile, Jimmy had taken flight, not daring to stay and face Adrian.“Wait for me, Jim!” Abigail screamed.Jimmy fled at the speed of lightning and got into his car without so much as a backward glance.Moses never expected he would end up dead on this trip to Swallowston, nor had Jimmy expected to come across someone like Adrian in his lifetime.After Jimmy and the rest ran off with their tails between their legs, despite how arrogant they seemed a moment ago, Adrian gave Daniel a call to clean up the mess.After that, he brought Samantha to the hospital for her check-up as if nothing had happened.***In the meantime, Jimmy and Abigail fled all the way to Swallowston’s outskirts.As they both

She frowned and said, “You can forget about it, Jim. I have a boyfriend. Now, hurry up and get me home!“The more he looked at her, the more Jimmy was attracted to Abigail. Although she definitely did not have a physique as decent as Joanna’s, it still did not stop her from having a beautiful appearance overall.Jimmy’s lust grew even stronger as he said, “Please sleep with me, Abby. I really like you.”“Are you insane? Don’t you realize that I’m way out of your league? You must be delusional!”Unfortunately, Abigail’s refute sparked Jimmy’s anger, causing him to frown in displeasure.He stared at Abigail and said, “I’m delusional? Fine! I’ll show you whether I’m delusional or not!”“Aaah! What are you doing, Jimmy?!”After that, Abigail’s terrified screams from the car could be heard throughout the outskirts.***At sunset, Samantha left the hospital after completing her check-up. Adrian and Joanna had accompanied her the entire time.Joanna reached out her hand and caressed

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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4814
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
