“He wouldn’t be like this if his mother was still alive. The two of them were really close when he was little,” William lamented.

Adrian patted William’s shoulder and said, “You have to be patient when educating him, give him hope. But don’t worry, I’ll help you get through this hurdle.”

“Thank you for your kind offer, sir. Since you’re here, could you maybe…help me deal with Lopo? I’m afraid that Reed will be in huge trouble when Lopo and his men return.”

***

Right after William said this, Magnus, Swallowston University’s chancellor, arrived at his doorstep.

After Magnus got out of his car, he said, “William, quick. You have to take your son with you and lay low for a few days.

“Lopo’s here from the south, and he brought more than two thousand men with him. We’ve done everything we can to stop him, including informing the Battle Warrior Department, but they’ll be here eventually. You two need to leave…”

William was shocked when he heard this, surprised that Lopo would cause

    Adrian entered Reed’s room, who was sitting on his bed, looking like his mind was far away.Reed noticed Adrian when the latter pushed the door open. With zero expression on his face, he said, “Thanks for saving me just now.”Adrian smiled and sat opposite Reed. “I heard from your father that your mother and older brother’s deaths had a huge impact on you. But, have you ever stopped to think that you’re William’s only living son now?”Since Reed remained silent, Adrian continued, “Vengeance isn’t as simple as you think it is. There are a lot of factors that can change how it turns out.”Still, Reed refused to say anything, causing Adrian to ask, “What did you do to offend Lopo?”Finally, Reed replied, “He said I laid my hands on his woman when my friends and I were having fun at the bar so he had someone try and pin me down. They found me here after I beat all of his men the first time.”Hearing this, Adrian asked, “Then, have you ever thought about how you’re going to handle Lop

    One of the women wrapped around Lucius’ arms angrily yelled before the man himself even said anything, “You arrogant fool! Don’t you know who Lopo is? Now, get down on your knees and—”Splat!!!A hole suddenly opened up in the woman’s chest while she was speaking and she fell to the floor, dead as a doorknob. Time seemed to freeze that very moment as one of Lucius’ women died without any warning.Opposite them, Adrian was flexing his wrist as though nothing had happened.The entire place fell silent, and Lucius even took a few steps back.“Aaah!”The other woman next to Lucius screamed in fear and ran. She was shocked at the other women’s death and swift death. And, she was not the only one. Everyone else, including William, was dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events as well.At that moment, Adrian said, “There are two types of people I hate in this world. The first are hypocrites. The second is immoral women. Anytime I come across one of these types, I’ll only do one thing—ki

    “What?!”Lucius was slightly taken aback as police sirens wailed from all directions.Immediately after that, more than a thousand vehicles from the Battle Warrior Department swarmed toward the courtyard, leaving Lucius and his men stunned. In fact, some of them were already backing away, trying to find a chance to flee.After the cars stopped, hordes of men got out and surrounded Lucius and his men, followed by Mya rushing over with a dozen subordinates. Under everyone’s gaze, she stood before Adrian and said, “Legate, based on our investigations, Lucius’ brother-in-law is currently working at Internal Affairs’ southern branch.”“L-Legate?” Lucius’s expression instantly turned pale when he heard thisMeanwhile, the men he brought with him were dumbfounded and lost their morale in an instant.“Legate?”“If she’s calling him ‘legate,’ does that mean he’s…War Legate Draco?!”Lucius immediately cried out and took a few steps back, dumbfounded at the revelation. Opposite him, Adria

    “We’re sorry, sir!”“Please!”Adrian knew that Lucius’ subordinates had done all kinds of heinous crimes under the latter’s command, hence his decisiveness. He wanted to ingrain into their minds how they met their demise.Adrian completely ignored their pleas, while Lucius trembled non-stop as he broke down in despair.Mya ordered, “Take them away!”The soldiers began to march and escort the villains into their vehicles. Lucius struggled frantically as he yelled, “Let go of me!”Yet, no matter how he yelled and struggled, he was unable to break free from their grasp.Within minutes, they were all taken away. Even the cars they left behind were taken care of by Mya’s men.***William was finally able to heave a sigh of relief after Lucius and the others had been taken away.“Thank you so much, Adrian. Neither Reed nor myself would be alive if not for—”Adrian interrupted William halfway and said, “I need to look into other matters now, Mr. William. I’ll be back in the afterno

    Lex was shocked at the sudden intrusion.Lucia jumped, smearing her makeup in the process.Lex got up from the sofa in confusion when he saw Adrian and Mya walk in.Lucia, who was working on her makeup up until a moment ago, ran over to them and yelled, “Who the f*ck are you two?! How dare you barge into my home and kick down my door! Are you two itching to be thrown in prison?! My husband will gladly oblige you two if that’s the case!”Lucia’s fury stemmed from how shaken she was. She did not have the best of tempers, to begin with, so the sudden intrusion was more than enough to light her anger.Adrian glanced at Lucia and proceeded to look at Lex before he asked, “Are you Lex Dumas?”Lex sounded startled as he asked, “Who are you? What are you doing here? Do you know that you’re intruding on private property and that I’m from Internal Affairs? I’ve got reason to believe that you’re here to cause me harm.”Adrian furrowed his eyebrows, while Lucia relentlessly continued with h

    However, Lex paid no attention to her.He knew that something was not quite right with the situation. Instead, he asked back, “What are you trying to say? Could you please come right out and say it?”“You’ve been providing him with a lot of assistance, haven’t you? With the building of his forces and the operations of his illegal entertainment outlets.”“Wh-What are you trying to say?” Lex’s face went slightly pale.‘Those are things we’ve been doing from behind the scenes… It’s going to be really bad if someone discovers them.’Lucia seemed to have understood what was happening and yelled, “What does any of that have to do with you? Listen here, you fool. Your time is up! Your whole family’s going to be sent to prison soon!”Finally unable to hold in her temper, Mya side-eyed Lucia and said, “Is that so? Are you the one who’s running the place though? Also, would you believe me if I said I’ll kill you where you stand right now?”Mya’s gaze suddenly became ice cold, causing Luci

    Lucia was now as silent as the grave. After all, being Lex’s wife, she naturally knew who War Legate Draco was.She had never thought that the legate would show up on her doorstep.Lex was trembling as he finally realized what was happening, and why he had been having a sense of foreboding. Stuttering, he said, “L-Legate, I have nothing to do with Lucius’ activities. Also, I’m a member of Internal Affairs, so you have no jurisdiction over my actions.”“And what if I insist on interfering?” Adrian asked.“Um…”Lex knew better than anyone else he would not be able to stop Adrian if the latter insisted on apprehending him.Lucia was now no longer able to utter a single word, knowing that she was in huge trouble. Never in her life had she felt fear, or become anyone’s target. Yet, on this very day, her entire life was being turned around as despair, regret, and all sorts of other negative emotions clouded her mind.Both husband and wife were trembling so much that they were finding

    Adrian was giving her a taste of her own medicine.“Sir, please… I’m genuinely sorry for what I did and said. I’ll change. Please… Spare me!” Lucia cried.“Sure, I’ll spare you,” Adrian agreed.“Mya.”Mya walked over upon command, ready to receive her instructions.“It’d be a mercy to kill someone as cruel as her. Why don’t we send her to Black Sands Village in the desert to do some farming for the rest of her life instead? As for her son, I want him sent to an orphanage so that the two of them will never meet again.”“Yes, sir,” Mya answered.“No! Please!” Lucia grabbed at Adrian and cried, but Mya kicked her in the face, sending her rolling across the floor.Adrian got up and headed outside, still hearing Lucia’s horrified screams. Soon after, a few men marched inside to take her away.***After leaving Lex’s residence, Adrian got into the car and was asked by Mya once more, “Where to now, sir?”“Back to the university. The event should be almost over by now.”Mya acknowl

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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
