The wooden door was locked and had a thick layer of dust covering it. Judging by the dust’s thickness, it was obvious that the place had been uninhabited for at least two months.“Open it,” Adrian said to Mya as he stepped back.Instantly, Mya broke the lock with a single punch. She then pushed the door open, revealing the dense musky smell from within.The room was covered in spiderwebs. Stacks of sealed books, uniforms, and some furniture lay haphazardly all over the place. The lights were still functional, so Mya turned it on and cleared up the cobwebs.“You can come in now,” Mya said.After Adrian entered, he noticed how the room was pretty small—with only a desk, a bookshelf, a cabinet, and a bed. There were old newspaper cuttings from some decades ago plastered to the wall, most of them had since been rendered illegible.“This place is a mess. What clues are we supposed to find here?” Mya wiped the tip of her nose to remove some dust.Adrian went further in, scanning his s

Mya and Adrian continued to search Kayn’s old place for a while longer but found nothing more aside from that newspaper cutting.They then left and asked Bowen to give them the address of Kayn’s ex-wife.***Ten minutes later.Adrian was waiting in his car which was parked in front of the university’s entrance. Mya quickly pulled up in hers and Adrian hopped in.“Thanks to Mr. Bowen, we now know that Kayn’s ex-wife is named Christina Frye. She’s an engineer and is currently living in Palm Springs. She’s working at Epsilon Construction at the moment.”“Where is she now?” Adrian asked.“Let’s visit her house first. If she’s not there, we should be able to find her at work. The western side of Southeast City is currently erecting a few school accommodations, and she’s the person in charge of that project.”“Okay.” Adrian nodded, thinking that this matter with Kayn had become surprisingly important. In fact, it was so important that he needed to drop everything he had on hand to ge

Adrian held his arms in the air. “Sure, but you can’t show anyone the picture or post it online.”“Okay, okay!”Overwhelmed by excitement, Shirley quickly wrapped her arms around Adrian’s after asking Mya to help take a picture of them. After they were done, Shirley looked at the photo gleefully.“This is awesome! This will be the most important photo of my life, sir!“By the way, will Wyvern Peak be rebuilt? A lot of my friends, myself included, are huge fans of you guys.“Can I treat you to a meal perhaps?”Shirley’s relentless flurry of questions left Adrian startled. Next to him, Mya smiled and said, “Shirley, the legate has really important matters to attend to right now, so he currently doesn’t have the time. However, on his behalf, I promise he’ll come to buy you a meal when he has time in the future. For now, I need you to tell me where your mother is.”Shirley understood and tidied her hair as he recalled Adrian mentioning her father’s name a moment ago.“Is my father

When they arrived downstairs, Mya took the wheel while Shirley led them toward Christina’s workplace.Christina was an engineer who was in charge of building a school accommodation.Half an hour later, Mya drove into a worksite in the western parts of Southeast City and parked her car. Shirley quickly got out and spotted Christina, who was wearing a safety helmet and uniform, about to leave the worksite.Shirley rushed toward her. “Mother! Wait!”Christina, who was far away, stopped right outside the worksite entrance and turned around curiously when she heard Shirley’s voice. She became even more confused when she saw Shirley running in her direction.“Shirley? What are you doing here?” Christina asked.Shirley said with a smile, “I have two friends who are here to see you. They said it’s important.”Following that, Mya and Adrian walked over.The moment Christina saw Mya and Adrian, she said, “There’s something urgent I need to look into right now, Shirley. Come see me after

These people put their phones away and stood up when they saw Christina arriving.After Christina stopped her car, she turned around and said, “I’ll pay them the money and leave, so I want you all to stay in here.”The youngsters immediately surrounded her when she got out. The leader among them was a young man with a crew cut, an earring on one ear, and a dragon tattoo on his neck.He said, “I’ve been waiting for you for more than half an hour, Ms. Christina. Have you no respect for me?”Christina smiled wryly and replied, “I’m really sorry, Mr. Nash. I was caught in traffic.”“Bullsh*t!” Nash scowled.His full name was Nash Lockley, and his uncle was a member of Internal Affairs’ Southeast Branch. This lent Nash a notorious reputation within the area.He had recruited a group of people and would loiter around the area to extort money from a few companies. This had been going on for a few years, and none of the nearby shops dared to disobey him.This time, Nash got bolder and

The men fled as far as they could since their lives depended on it.Almost instantly, the alley became completely empty, aside from Nash’s body. Christina looked at Adrian in a daze, her mouth hung ajar. She trembled as she looked at him.“Y-You killed him,” she said in shock.Adrian was wiping the blood off his hands, completely unaffected by the kill he just made because of how used he was to such things. Then, he smiled at Christina and said, “This is nothing to feel alarmed about, Ms. Christina. He deserved to die anyway, so it was only a matter of time before someone got to him.”Adrian picked up the case filled with money and handed it over to Christina before getting back into the car.Shirley, who seemed even more infatuated with Adrian now, said, “That was awesome, sir!” Adrian merely smiled at her, while Mya had already made a call to ask someone to take care of the corpse. Shortly after, Christina got back into the car, still shaken from everything that just happened.

Christina replied, “What other reason could there be? He said he wanted to study abroad after we got married, and I let him. In the end, he chose not to return after going there.“I became pregnant with Shirley shortly after he left, and he didn’t come back to visit us until she was born.”“Shirley told us he had another lover. Is this true?” Mya asked.“Yes. I went to look for him in the past and found out he was in a relationship with a foreign student. I saw it with my own eyes… But I think she died.“After she passed, Kayn came back to the country and stayed at Southeast University.”Adrian exchanged looks with Mya as though they had just found a clue.Adrian then said, “Where did he study? How did that woman die?”Without even thinking about her answer, Christina replied, “He was at Sormbay. I heard there was a riot happening over there, and it was Wyvern Peak who helped to resolve it. That woman died amid the chaos.”“The Sormbay 148 incident.” Mya looked at Adrian.The

It was only then did Christina and Shirley understand the severity of the situation.In truth, this was definitely not good news for Wyvern Peak.Christina fell silent, while Shirley seemed helpless. As anxious as she was, there was nothing she could do to help.Once again, Adrian looked at Christina and asked a few more questions, all of which he received no answers to. In the end, he was not able to find anything to aid his cause.Not wanting to waste any more time, Adrian stood up and said, “I’ve told you most of the situation, Ms. Christina. Please feel free to call me if you think of something. I’ll leave you in peace now.”Christina quickly got up and seemed embarrassed as she said, “I’m truly sorry I couldn’t be of much help to you, Adrian. I genuinely have no idea what Kayn’s been doing after our divorce.”She clearly felt bad for not being of much help, but Adrian merely smiled in response.He and Mya left the hotel after that.***It was already evening by the time A

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
