Adrian and Samantha talked for a while longer before they slept.The next morning, Adrian received a call from Mya as soon as dawn broke. According to a dependable source, Southrive’s Fowler House had indeed auctioned off a book about ten years ago.After ending the call, he quickly got ready and made his way to the downhill part of Jewel Road. After waiting at the bottom of the hill for a bit, Mya arrived in a car.Adrian got into the car without any hesitation. Mya stepped on the pedal and they headed off to Southrive.***Along the way, Mya updated Adrian on the information she discovered from last night’s investigation.Mya said, “I reached out to Donald of Southrive’s Kushner Group last night. He’s the richest man in Southrive and has visited Fowler House on multiple occasions. Donald vividly remembers that a book was auctioned off at Fowler House ten years ago. He can’t remember who purchased the book but he knew that the person did not look like he was from Navia.”“It wa

Soon, Donald drove into the compounds of an enormous mountain resort on Southrive’s outskirts.The majestic mountain resort was dotted with numerous mansions and villas. There were more than a hundred cleaning staff and gardeners working here.Donald stopped the car when they arrived at the checkpoint of the resort’s entrance. He said, “Please wait here. An access pass distributed at the bottom of the mountain is needed to enter Fowler House. Each person must hold a pass. Otherwise, the person won’t be allowed to enter.“I shall go over and talk to the guard.”Adrian nodded and Donald went to negotiate with the guard at the door. Five minutes later, he came back, shaking his head as he said, “Mr. Xander, the resort’s security is too strict. I’m allowed to enter but you’re not.”Upon hearing Donald’s remark, Adrian said, “This place exists because of the war that I fought. I refuse to believe that there’s even a single place in Navia that I can’t enter.”Upon saying that, Adrian g

The sound of the gunshot was heard all across Fowler House.The administrative personnel of Fowler House was instantly alerted.“Where did that gunshot come from?”“Send someone to check it out at once.”Fowler House was thrown into chaos by the gunshot.Soon after, the security personnel of Fowler House charged onto the scene from all over the resort. These people carried guns and ballistic shields as they approached the entrance.“Um…”“This is umm…”Donald backed away two steps in shock upon seeing the numerous people gathering around them. He had heard about Fowler House’s strict security. The guards here were all seasoned professionals who were employed from battlefields in the outlands.In comparison, the people surrounding them were hired from a few countries in the outlands. One could say that the security personnel of Fowler House was considered the highest quality guards in Southrive.“Mr. Xander, they have the strength in numbers. We should leave!” Donald hastily s

“You’re that confident of yourself huh?” Adrian inquired closely.“That is of course,” answered Romain.However, just as Romain’s voice faded, the sound of roaring car engines was heard. Then, a few tens of Wyvern Peak’s cross-country vehicles of the same color swiftly drove in from the distance.These cars stopped and the doors flung open. Wyvern Peak’s soldiers carrying loaded weapons got out of the vehicles. There were more than five hundred of them, and they surrounded Romain and the others with their guns at ready.The change in situation happened so unexpectedly.Romain’s expression froze. He never expected the situation would change so suddenly.“Um… Ah…”Romain turned his head and saw hundreds of people wearing Wyvern Peak’s battle suit surrounding him. For a moment, he was stunned by these people carrying fully loaded weapons. The next moment, he felt embarrassed.Romain’s subordinates were shocked upon seeing Wyvern Peak’s people. In fact, a few of them had already pu

“Wh-What?”‘Get rid of me?’Romain’s eyes filled with boundless fear and he felt like he was trapped in a nightmare.“Gah!” Romain roared, “No…don’t!”Splat!A splat was heard when Romain’s chest was pierced with a sharp blade.Mya pulled out the sharp blade and said nonchalantly, “Get rid of him.”“Yes, ma’am.”Two people came forward and dragged Romain into the car. He was taken away.Everything happened and ended quickly.Donald witnessed the scene before him and came to truly understand War Legate Draco’s mercilessness. ‘Are all the members of Wyvern Peak so cruel?’“Let’s go inside. Take me to Nadine Gardner.”Before Donald could recover from his shock, he heard Adrian’s voice commanding him. He inhaled a deep breath and made an invitatory gesture at Adrian. “Please follow me, Legate.”The entrance of Fowler House was now unobstructed, and Adrian and Mya followed Donald in.***Meanwhile, in a woman’s boudoir located in a villa of Fowler House.A woman about thirty

Before Fraser could speak any further, the sound of footsteps came from downstairs.Soon after, Adrian and the others arrived in the living room of Nadine’s private residence.Fraser’s expression froze. “Miss, they’re here...”Nadine looked unbothered as Adrian took a seat in the living room and casually rifled through the magazine on the coffee table.Donald said, “Ms. Nadine, Wyvern Peak’s specially-assigned personnel is here to see you. Please come out to meet them.”Fraser walked out first. He observed Adrian seated on the sofa with a tense expression. He said, “Sir, please wait a moment. Ms. Nadine is getting changed inside and will be here shortly.”Adrian waited. In less than ten minutes, Nadine walked out of her boudoir in a bright red gown and red strappy heels.She was astonished ever so slightly by the sight of Adrian.“You’re a handsome one,” she commented.Adrian glanced at Nadine. She looked amused.Taking a seat across from Adrian, she asked, “What’s going on w
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 582
The heiress of the Gardner family had unique foresight and a keen eye, able to easily discern those who are of capable means.But judging by her attitude, she appeared to not be taking the matter seriously.Mya was furious. In view of her temper, she would most certainly give Nadine a few slaps if Adrian was not around.However, it was apparent that Adrian planned to ignore Nadine’s remark. “I don’t wish to repeat myself. I’d like to look into Fowler House’s sales record from about ten years ago.”“Could you be a little gentler with your words?” Nadine assumed a coy mannerism.Adrian said, “I said it before. Don’t make me repeat myself.”Nadine was no fool either. She did not have the courage to misbehave anymore upon sensing Adrian’s determination. She flipped her hair and sat back down.“You may look at Fowler House’s sales records but according to the rules, you’ll have to show evidence of Internal Affairs’ permission. Even though you’re War Legate Draco, you still need to fo

Adrian would not have dissolved Wyvern Peak if he could not stand losing.He would not have dismissed his own people if he had not considered that the country would be in chaos because of them. It was just that his actions were regarded as losing to Chase in the eyes of outsiders.Mya wanted to say something but Adrian stopped her.He looked at Nadine and said, “Ms. Nadine, you may think that you’re right about everything but I’d like to remind you that there is also more than one side to a story. You’re in charge of Fowler, so I believe that you have better foresight than others.“I don’t wish to discuss anything else with you today. I just want to find out who purchased the book Fowler House auctioned off in the past and what were the contents of that book.”Nadine shook her head. She exhaled a deep breath and sneered at Adrian. “Dream on, Legate. I won’t tell you that. You won’t be getting any answers out of me.”In truth, Nadine was very curious about Adrian's purpose in inve

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

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
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

"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
