The Return of the War Legate Chapter 49
Samantha put on the Heart of the Sea, which was the only piece of jewelry she had received over the years.‘It doesn’t matter if it’s expensive or not. What matters is that Adrian’s the one who gave it to me.’The dining table remained silent for the rest of the morning.After that, Adrian and Samantha headed to Bailar together.The company was on the brink of extinction, which was why Samantha had been coming up with ways to bolster the company.As they arrived and Samantha sat down in her office, her assistant immediately walked in.The assistant’s name was Nina Williams. She had been working for Samantha since Bailar was founded and was in charge of its operations.Samantha had a bad feeling when she saw Nina walking in. In an exhausted tone, she said, “Go on. What is it?”Nina heaved a sigh and said, “The company’s been continuing to run at a loss, and many major banks are asking us to pay up on the loans. We have three days tops before they step in and take over the compan

Samantha knew that she was going to get hung up on, but she continued to contact other banks for the sake of her company.Alas, none of the banks were willing to give her another loan.‘The company will go belly up in a few days if I can’t find some money to pump into it.’Seeing how dejected she was, Adrian said, “Why don’t you relax and take a breather? Who knows? You might just be able to get through this.”Hearing this, Samantha shot Adrian a glance and said, “What do you know about running a company? Our cash flow is almost depleted. I won’t be able to pay my employees if I don’t get some money soon.”Samantha shook her head while Adrian smiled and replied, “I wouldn’t be too sure about that. Maybe a bank will come to you themselves with a loan offer.”Samantha instantly shot Adrian a glare. “You’re being too optimistic about this. As if any sane bank would do such a thing for me in this situation?”“Let’s just wait and see,” Adrian said.Samantha ignored Adrian and wrote

Adrian smiled upon hearing that. “In that case, let’s get prepared.”Samantha nodded. If Swallowston Bank took the liberty to call, it signified that Bailar’s funding issue could be easily solved.She felt rather excited. Without a moment’s hesitation, she quickly packed up and drove to Swallowston Bank’s headquarters with Adrian.***Half an hour later, Adrian and Samantha arrived at Swallowston Bank’s headquarters.As soon as they got out of the car, Samantha walked toward the bank in excitement. However, a voice rang out before she stepped into the building. “Isn’t that my cousin and his wife? What a coincidence, meeting you guys here.”Samantha was stunned.Adrian turned around to see who it was. He saw a young man dressed in a suit and a woman walking over to them from the bank’s entrance.Samantha furrowed her eyebrows at the sight of the young man. His name was Cedric Xander, and he was Adrian’s cousin. He was Harold’s grandson and Leonard’s son.“Let’s go, ignore him,”

Once Cedric finished speaking, Adrian’s arm shook as a burst of power radiated through it. Cedric was scared out of his wits and instantly backed away in shock.Cedric’s eyes widened in surprise. He felt a sense of threat for just a brief moment.However, he was a proud man. He instantly said in a fury, “Adrian, you have no appreciation for my kindness. In that case, I’m going to make a call to Swallowston Bank. You’re not stepping foot in there.”Adrian’s interest was piqued. He smiled and said, “Go ahead and try. I’d like to see if I’m capable of entering Swallowston Bank today.”Cedric furrowed his eyebrows. He came to the bank today to withdraw some money and did not expect to bump into Adrian.In truth, he had found out about Adrian’s return some time ago. He had not expected this deadbeat to disrespect him.“Very well. Just wait.” Cedric pointed at Adrian.As he spoke, Cedric began to dial a number on his phone.Samantha grew anxious when she saw Cedric making the call. S

“Samuel?” Cedric was instantly delighted at the sight of the young man.It was Samuel—the general manager of Swallowston Bank.Cedric quickly approached him and said, “Thank you for taking the trouble to do this, Samuel. These two are trying to get into the bank. I’ll leave the rest to you.”Cedric turned to look at Adrian and Samantha in contempt as he spoke.Samantha was panic-stricken and hastily stepped forward to explain, “Hello, Mr. Samuel. I have an appointment with Ms. Mandy.”Samuel looked at Samantha and said, “Ms. Mandy?”Then, he sniggered. “What nonsense are you talking about? There’s only one Ms. Mandy in Swallowston Bank and she’s the president. She’s one of the top twenty richest people in Swallowston. Why would the president have an appointment with you?”Samuel stared at Samantha with a malicious expression. “You don’t even know how to boast. Who do you think you are to get an appointment with the president?”Samantha was dumbfounded. The person who called her

Cedric, who was standing next to Samuel, was stunned as well.“Ms. Mandy, why did you…” Samuel covered his cheek and looked at Mandy in a daze.“I’ll deal with you later, you snobby prick,” berated Mandy in anger.Samuel was dumbfounded.Meanwhile, Mandy hastily made her way toward Adrian and Samantha and bowed to them. “Mr. Adrian, Ms. Samantha, I’m truly sorry that my subordinate didn’t know any better and offended you.”Samantha was stunned.She was incredulous, and so was Samuel.Even Cedric’s jaw dropped at this very moment and his expression was filled with astoundment.Mandy had actually bowed to Adrian and Samantha.“Umm… Uh…”Samantha was panic-stricken because she had never been treated with such respect before. Then, she hastily bowed to Mandy too. “Ms. Mandy, thank you for taking the time to do this.”Mandy smiled and her gaze landed on Adrian. Daniel had sent her a text a little while ago and instructed her to entertain Samantha.Other than Battle Warrior Lucas

Samuel and Cedric were completely at a loss for words as they were faced with this unexpected turn of events.They were distraught. They could only watch helplessly as Adrian and Samantha followed Mandy into Swallowston Bank.They had mixed feelings about the situation.“Samuel, umm…”Once Mandy and Samantha left, Cedric looked at Samuel awkwardly and had trouble finding the words to say.Samuel flew into a rage. He turned around to glare at Cedric and roared, “Cedric, you got me in some deep sh*t today!”Pow!Samuel punched Cedric in the face.Cedric fell face-down to the ground and was panic-stricken. “Samuel, listen to me! Samuel! I didn’t know that this would happen either!”Samuel could not be bothered to speak to Cedric as he proceeded to beat Cedric up.***Meanwhile, in the most luxurious VIP reception room on the highest floor of the twenty-four-story-tall Swallowston Bank, Mandy opened the door and said, “Ms. Samantha, Mr. Adrian, this way please.”Samantha thanke

Samantha glanced at Adrian as she spoke.Mandy heaved a sigh. With her keen intuition, she was able to read the situation.‘He’s the great legate who’s countless times more powerful than Henry, yet he hasn’t told Ms. Samantha who he really is.’Mandy smiled and said, “I suppose you could say Henry and I were friends. We worked together in the past and he was very nice to me. So, how could I be ungracious when his son and daughter-in-law need my help?”In truth, Mandy had a little fling with Henry back then.Samantha instantly heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. ‘So she’s only being so courteous to me because of Henry.“Thank you, Ms. Mandy.”Mandy nodded and asked, “Would fifteen million dollars suffice?”“Fifteen million dollars?!” Samantha exclaimed in shock.Mandy was slightly startled before saying, “Let’s go with thirty million then.”“Thirty million dollars?!?!?!” Samantha was even more shocked.Confused, Mandy wondered why thirty million dollars was still ins

What had initially appeared to be a dense swarm of beasts now seemed far less daunting.Adrian smiled slightly, satisfied. This was the result he had hoped for.At that moment, the Soul Devouring Sword glowed even more intensely.Adrian smiled faintly again. The sword was growing stronger, and that worked in his favor.He let out a cold chuckle. "Now, let's see what can stop me."As his words fell, a powerful, terrifying roar reverberated in the distance.A violent sound, full of rage, tore through the air. It seemed an even more fearsome beast was approaching.Adrian's eyes gleamed coldly as he sensed the change.From the distant horizon, a massive creature emerged from the void.It was an ancient beast—a bird, to be precise.Adrian's eyes widened in surprise. He hadn't expected it to be an ancient beast, let alone one as powerful as the Red Feather Divine Bird.The bird's greatest strength lay in its wings, forged from mystic iron. A single blow from those wings could infl

As soon as Adrian spoke, he made his move. The terrifying beast at the peak of the Void Stage posed a serious challenge.Adrian, currently an intermediate Void Stage warrion, faced a formidable opponent in the beast's immense size and power.Without any command from Adrian, the Soul Devouring Sword charged into the swarm of beasts, cutting down everything in its path with ruthless ferocity.Each time Adrian killed a beast, the sword rapidly consumed its blood and soul energy.In the blink of an eye, Adrian and his sword wreaked havoc across the battlefield, showing no signs of slowing down.Despite the bloodthirsty beasts surrounding him, Adrian remained calm.His fierce struggle only intensified their madness, and they relentlessly tried to kill him. It was clear they wouldn't stop until Adrian was destroyed.The battle had become frenzied.Adrian's movements grew faster and fiercer, while the air around him shook violently, as if the world itself quaked under the battle's int

Adrian was acutely aware of his surroundings, but his focus remained on recovering his strength. He couldn't afford to be distracted by what was happening outside.This moment was critical for Adrian. He had to regain his power quickly. In a place like this, any weakness would likely lead to his death.Even the strongest men couldn't survive waves of demonic beasts without their full strength.As the saying went, "A war of attrition is the key to victory."Adrian understood this better than ever.Thousands of beasts seemed to be charging at him, but he didn't waste time thinking about it. His priority was to restore his strength and confront these terrifying creatures.The air crackled with violent energy as a massive beast charged at him.This creature, at the peak of the Void Stage, exuded an aura of pure terror.Adrian could feel his power slowly returning as he rose to his feet. These beasts were powerful, but he was not afraid.The giant beast struck Adrian's barrier with

Adrian's speed remained astonishing. He unleashed his strength again while the Holy Son reached the thirtieth step below him. Despite the progress, the gap between them was still immense. The Holy Son hadn't expected Adrian to catch up so quickly. By now, Adrian had already reached the seventieth step. In an instant, Adrian's power surged, and his body radiated a brilliant glow. A golden barrier enveloped him, exuding an intimidating aura that discouraged anyone from approaching. For the Holy Son, this was a bitter humiliation. Adrian's rise felt like a slap in the face.Not long ago, he had mocked Adrian as insignificant, but now it seemed clear who truly deserved that label. Rage consumed him. Adrian surged up to the seventy-fifth step. Suddenly, the sensation of space shifting gripped him—he was about to enter a new realm. In a flash, he found himself in a vast grassland. Scanning his surroundings with sharp, alert eyes, he couldn't discern his location but recognize

This scene left Andy speechless. The stairs were undeniably terrifying, yet Adrian ascended them with ease.Andy had started the climb first but now found himself near the back.Kurt had initially lingered, merely observing.When he finally began his ascent, his strength made the climb seem effortless.His primary duty was to protect the Holy Son, so he advanced swiftly and without hesitation. He knew that if he failed and something happened to the Holy Son, responsibility would rest squarely on his shoulders.Meanwhile, Adrian dashed at an astonishing speed, rapidly closing the distance between himself and Finnian.Finnian's eyes widened with surprise as he watched Adrian. "What kind of person are you, kid? With such a powerful physique... your future promises to be extraordinary."Adrian chuckled modestly. "You're too kind. My abilities are hardly worth mentioning."He saw no reason to boast, knowing Finnian wasn't an ordinary figure. If Finnian unleashed his true power, Adri

Adrian's energy surged as the body-strengthening methods activated within him. His nerves tightened, and his blood pulsed with vitality, every cell brimming with excitement.As the divine lightning descended, Adrian's body transformed into a blazing furnace.Crimson lightning poured into him, tempering and forging his form like molten steel in a smith's forge.Terrifying bolts struck him repeatedly, yet his eyes gleamed with exhilaration rather than fear.Finnian watched in stunned disbelief. "How is this possible? Could this guy truly be one of the legendary immortals?"Memories surfaced in Finnian's mind. He had witnessed such power before—but only in a bygone era. He never imagined he would see it again.Long ago, he had encountered a prodigy with the Thunder God Physique, someone capable of absorbing divine lightning without harm. Instead, the lightning strengthened their body, transforming them into a near-unstoppable force.Now, Adrian exhibited the same phenomenon.Obliv

Adrian leaped lightly, and 90,000 units of force pressed down on his body. He was momentarily stunned but, to his surprise, found he could withstand it.At his previous strength, such immense gravitational pressure would have been insurmountable. While he could now endure it, the ease with which he managed was entirely unexpected.Perplexed, Adrian pondered whether the crimson divine lightning that had fused with his body was the source of his newfound resilience. The possibility left him in awe.Was the crimson lightning truly that formidable?He struggled to comprehend it but couldn't suppress a surge of joy. Misfortune seemed to have turned into fortune.If the lightning was truly this beneficial, he wouldn't mind being struck a few more times. Surely, his body would grow even stronger.With renewed determination, Adrian took another step forward.Below, Andy and the others watched, speechless.To them, Adrian hardly seemed human. His effortless ascent and composed demeanor
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4795
The crimson divine lightning was an ancient, destructive force, capable of annihilating a person instantly, reducing both body and soul to nothingness.Despite this peril, Adrian stood unfazed, exuding an almost defiant calm that struck onlookers as recklessly suicidal.A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he dismissed Andy's warning.Once Adrian made a decision, others' opinions became meaningless. What mattered was whether his actions aligned with his expectations.Within him, energy began to circulate.The violent crackle of lightning roared through the sky, sending a bone-chilling resonance across the land.Many trembled at the ominous sound.Adrian's expression hardened as his body emitted faint crackling sounds.The crimson lightning's devastating power surged through him, making every cell in his body tremble under its crushing intensity.Yet, despite the searing pain, a glimmer of satisfaction lit his eyes. He knew exactly what needed to be done.Adrian l

Adrian's face darkened.Spatial fragments hurtling toward him radiated lethal force. On closer inspection, each shard bristled with deadly intent.Terrifying energies erupted, shaking the void as if it might collapse entirely.Below, the Holy Son observed with a cold smirk. "Hahaha! Let's see how you survive this. With the gravitational force on you now exceeding 80,000 units, you're nothing but an overconfident ant."Adrian shot him an icy glance. "Oh? Then you're not even on par with an ant."The Holy Son trembled with fury. He burned with the urge to strike Adrian down.Adrian had become both his greatest humiliation and the demon haunting his heart. Unless he destroyed Adrian, his future ambitions would remain stifled.In the distance, Kurt watched grimly. He hadn't expected Adrian to grow so formidable or to trigger such pivotal events.Adrian's suppression of the Holy Son only confirmed the man's long-held suspicion: Adrian was no ordinary immortal.Now that Adrian had p
