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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 55
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

Samantha was shocked at how direct Adrian was at rejecting Mandy’s offer.However, Mandy smiled before Samantha could admonish Adrian and said, “Another day then. Let me see you out, Mr. Adrian, Sam.”Hence, Samantha had no choice but to keep her thoughts to herself.***Samantha felt dazed after leaving Swallowston Bank, thinking everything that happened was just a dream.‘Mandy’s gave me a loan of a few million dollars without even asking me to sign an agreement. With that money, I’ll be able to recruit as many people as I want to build up the marketing department, settle down in Swallow Central, and secure a brighter future for Bailar. This is great!’This was the best news Samantha had received over the past few days. As she drove back to Bailar, Adrian leaned back in the passenger seat to rest.“Why did you behave so rudely toward Mandy back there?’ she asked, “What if she decided to not give me the loan because of that?”Samantha scowled. ‘I can forget about the fact that
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 58
The four million and five hundred thousand dollars from Mandy was sufficient for Bailar to continue its development.Meanwhile, Adrian followed Samantha wherever she went over the next two days. He would even wait for her while she was in business discussions.At first, Samantha was slightly weirded out that he followed her everywhere, but after two days, she got used to his presence. In fact, his presence made her feel a little safer. In the past, she would always be afraid that the people she met up with for business discussions would have malicious intentions toward her. However, that changed now that Adrian was around.One evening after Samantha was done with a very exhausting day, she received a phone call when she was about to pack up and leave the office. She answered and found that it was from Cassey.“Sam, Mario and I will be getting married two days from now. I’ll forego the part where I send you an official invitation, but make sure you arrive early that morning. You’r

Of course, Samantha knew Adaline’s true opinion on the matter.She shot a smile at Adaline and consoled her by saying, “Go ahead and walk the path you want. There’s no need to overthink the situation, nor is there a need for you to care what others think of you.”Adaline nodded.At this moment, Rue handed Adaline a bank card and said, “There’s money in there for your tuition fees and daily necessities. Please spend it wisely.”Adaline accepted the card without a word, but Adrian could tell she truly did not wish to stay on campus.‘But if she doesn’t stay there, she’ll have to travel and that’s very inconvenient. Especially if she has any late-night study sessions.’At that thought, Adrian decided not to comment on the matter.Rue then looked at him and said, “Adrian, could you send your sister to university tomorrow? Help her move into the dorm before coming home. And don’t forget to greet her dorm mates if you meet them.”Adrian had nothing better to do the next day, plus his

“Where’s your car?” Adaline asked in confusion.“I’ve already made a call, so let’s give it a minute.”‘What in the world is he doing now?’ Adaline wondered.Within less than ten minutes, an exquisite silver-colored Porsche Cayenne Turbo Coupé could suddenly be heard driving toward the siblings with its engines blaring.A car that was worth one and a half million dollars stopped right in front of the siblings.The car doors opened, revealing a stunning woman in a uniform dress. She got out and handed the keys to Adrian. “Here’s your car, sir.”“Thank you. Good work,” Adrian said.The woman smiled and flagged down a cab for herself. With the keys, Adrian opened the storage compartment and looked at Ada. “Come on, put your luggage inside, and let’s head off.”Adaline was too stunned to speak. She may not be familiar with cars, but even she could tell that the Porsche in front of her was worth more than a million dollars.She had not been in a car this luxurious ever since Henr
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 61
Adrian merely smiled and chose not to answer Adaline’s question.Instead, he said, “Just focus on your studies, okay? You shouldn’t live your future as an ordinary woman. I’m counting on you to take care of our family.”Adaline felt touched by Adrian’s words. When he first returned, she thought that her elder brother had achieved nothing over the past seven years. But she now realized that the truth was far from what she imagined.Not only was he able to drive a luxury car, but he was also able to have people like Lucas Jenner and Daniel Summers come to his aid.Adrian was the one who had arranged everything that had happened thus far.‘I honestly have no idea who Adrian is now, but one thing I know for sure is that everything will be different from now on.’***Two hours later at Swallowston University, one of the top reputable universities throughout Southrive.Adrian and Adaline pulled up in the gray Porsche. His million-dollar car attracted a lot of attention from the stude

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

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

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

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
