Adrian and Samantha headed downstairs and entered their bedroom.

Samantha sat on the bed and asked Adrian while she unbuttoned her top, “Oh, dear. How did everything go?”

Adrian nodded and tucked Samantha into bed.

“I killed Asher, and Wyvern Peak is the predominant power of Swallowston as of this moment,” Adrian answered.

“There’s no objection from Novemton’s Internal Affairs headquarters?” Samantha was slightly worried.

Swallowston’s Internal Affairs had been wiped out so Wyvern Peak had full control over the city. But that was definitely not good news for Novemton’s Internal Affairs headquarters.

Adrian smiled at Samantha and said, “There’s no need for you to worry about these things. We’ll deal with it with proper measures when it comes.”

Samantha said, “But I don’t get it. Why do you have to do this?”

Adrian’s methods in Swallowston recently shocked everyone. Even Samantha was having trouble understanding his reasoning. There was no doubt that he was challenging Internal A

    It was late at night, and Swallowston was peaceful as ever.Meanwhile in Novemton…This city held great power in the country. The headquarters of the country’s major departments were set up here.A meeting had been called to order in Internal Affairs’ headquarters that controlled the country’s ten states. The leader of Internal Affairs’ headquarters and prefect leader of the Prefect Sentry, Chase Gardner, was sitting on the main seat.The departmental leaders of Novemton’s Internal Affairs headquarters were present as well. There were congressmen, colonels, chief secretaries, first guardians, and others at the scene.It was an emergency meeting of three great factions.Chase said, “I received a ciphered telegram from Swallowston earlier that War Legate Draco has taken down Asher Chumber following Wallace and Byron’s murders. What is your opinion on this matter, everyone?”The crowd whispered to one another as Chase’s voice faded.Someone said, “Mr. Chase, Draco’s actions in Swa

    Rue answered, “If my son can’t sleep, how can I as a mother sleep peacefully?”Adrian chuckled and removed his jacket, draping it over Rue’s shoulders. He said, “It’s nothing really. I was thinking about Father. How nice would it be if he were still alive.”“Your father is already dead and you’re the head of this house now,” Rue said.Adrian did not respond. He had no idea when it started but he had lost the sense of security of when his father had been around.Meanwhile, Rue said, “Wyvern Peak’s three million soldiers have assembled. Your achievements as the legate are so great that your superiors feel insecure. You’re worried about the future of Wyvern Peak, right?”Adrian was surprised. He had not expected Rue to notice this. She was a homemaker, yet she could see this clearer than anybody else.“How did you know, Mother?” Adrian asked.“I used to be a top student back in my day. I’d have pursued a doctorate if I didn’t meet your father. However, I didn’t figure this out. Jun

    Shortly after Adrian made the call, all the major departments of Wyvern Peak in the country received the information.Some were confused, some were surprised, and some were stunned.Adrian's phone started blowing up. Call after call came through, and message after message was delivered.“Legate, why are you dissolving Wyvern Peak?”“Sir, what will our people do if Wyvern Peak is dissolved?”“Sir…”An endless stream of messages was delivered to his phone, but Adrian did not reply to any of them. Soon, this information reached Wyvern Peak’s headquarters.Rue stood next to Adrian and kept him company.In a moment, another call came in. It was from Lucas.Adrian picked up and Lucas said, “Sir, did you suddenly dispatch an order to dissolve Wyvern Peak? Why, sir? If Wyvern Peak is dissolved, our soldiers will be hunted down and killed by Internal Affairs one by one.”Adrian said, “Execute the order and make sure Wyvern Hall is empty before sunrise. Every Wyvern Peak soldier is to

    Juno said, “Frankly, I’ve been wanting to tell you that Wyvern Peak has already lost its relevance. Since it has lost its relevance, why hasn’t it been dismantled yet?“Dismissal is a good thing for Wyvern Peak. It may not necessarily be a good thing to keep it running.”Juno was being very serious.Adrian tutted. Her train of thought was exactly the same as his. He could not help being impressed and felt like he was just truly getting to know her. He found that she was very gifted in this area.Adrian asked, “Tell me about the advantages of dissolving Wyvern Peak and the disadvantages of keeping it.”Juno said, “I will talk about the disadvantages first. Internal Affairs will soon cut off your supplies if Wyvern Peak isn’t dismantled. Not having adequate resources is a disadvantage to Wyvern Peak.“The second disadvantage is that Internal Affairs will spare no effort in ruining Wyvern Peak’s reputation so that you will be trapped in a vortex of negative public opinion.“The thi

    Relief washed over Adrian when he heard Juno’s words.He was shocked by her. He had not expected an eighteen-year-old to be capable of such deep thoughts.Juno continued to giggle as she looked at Adrian. Her thinking was already on par with his, and he felt like he had the mentality of an eighteen-year-old.“Did I hit the mark?” Juno wanted to know Adrian’s opinion.At this point, Adrian could not come up with any other response than to nod his head. He said, “You truly surprise me, Juno. Since you’re the one who came up with the idea, why don’t you write the letter to Novemton on my behalf? You can do it.”Juno pouted and asked, “What benefits do I get from writing the letter?”Adrian was stunned. He was initially rather proud of Juno, yet was rendered speechless when she started seeking benefits.“Go on then. What sort of benefits would you like? As long as it is not too much, you can have it,” Adrian said.“I’d like a new dress,” Juno said.Adrian's eyes instantly went wid

    Adrian was walking backward ahead of Samantha, his front facing her.He felt rather puzzled upon hearing her question. “What son? How do you know that it’s a son in your belly? What if it’s a daughter?”Samantha rubbed her belly. “He’s in my belly so how can I not know his gender? I’m very confident that it’s a son. Would you like to make a bet?”“What are we betting on?” Adrian asked.Samantha thought about it and said, “If it’s a son, you’ll wash my clothes for the rest of your life. If it’s a daughter, I’ll wash yours. What do you think?”Adrian had the awareness to know that it was just clothes.Adrian said smilingly, “Let’s not bet. I’ll handle the task of washing your clothes for the rest of your life.”Samantha glared at Adrian. “That sounds good. However, if I’m right about the baby being a son, what’re you going to name him?”Adrian said without the slightest hesitation, “His name will be Neo Xander. If it’s a girl, you can name her.”“Neo Xander?” Samantha chuckled.

    Everyone, including the monarch, was stunned when they heard the news.Wyvern Peak had already been dissolved? They had shut down operations before the monarch even issued the order to do so.The monarch had an awkward look on his face as the officers and civilians at the scene began to whisper to one another.“Why did Wyvern Peak take the initiative to dissolve itself? Is this beneficial to Draco?”“It has always been hard to figure out his train of thought. He dissolved Wyvern Peak so suddenly. Is it because he received some sort of information that we didn’t?”“What’s going on?”Many people were puzzled. In light of Draco’s usual domineering personality, they did not think he would dissolve Wyvern Peak.The crowd continued to discuss at great length.Meanwhile, Chase said, “Draco is no fool. I believe that he acquired some information and knows that Internal Affairs was about to vote out Wyvern Peak. That’s why he dissolved the organization so suddenly. Rather than wait for

    Everyone present felt like they were just slapped across the face.A moment ago, they openly stated they were sending out assassins to eliminate the battle warriors and the guardians. Now, that was no longer the case, nor did they dare to make such suggestions anymore.Nobody present could have ever thought that Draco dissolving Wyvern Peak would end up leaving Internal Affairs hanging by a thread. The words “all hell will break loose, every living being will live in misery, and the three million warriors will gather once again” rang over and over in everyone’s ears.Of course, they understood what the legate meant. If anyone from Internal Affairs kills any one of his people, he would turn the whole world upside down and devour them like the merciless sea.For a moment, the meeting room became extremely silent. Nobody dared to make a sound.After a brief silence, the monarch said, “Do you see this? Draco is openly threatening me because he thinks I’m going to kill off his men one

    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. 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

    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

    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
