The Return of the War Legate Chapter 583
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

Nadine lay on the sofa, her face sinking further into the cushions.She showed no unwillingness. Instead, her eyes were filled with fury. She said, “Unless you kill me, I won’t provide you with any of Fowler House’s sales information.”A woman had challenged Adrian’s authority for the first time. He would have killed her without the slightest hesitation if she were any other criminal, but he currently could not find the slightest blemish on her other than her being Chase’s niece. Thus, he could not kill her.However, it was rather difficult to handle a feisty woman with a temperament such as Nadine’s.“Are you sure you won’t tell me?” Adrian did not remove his leg from Nadine’s face as he looked at the woman laying underneath his foot arrogantly from above.Nadine was rendered incapable of doing anything. Her face was scrunched up as she answered, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell you anything and Wyvern Peak will never rise again. Even if you kill me, you won’t get any information.”Na

“You may think about it and tell me when you’re done thinking.”“You will have to leave so that I can calm my head and think about it properly,” Nadine said.“Didn’t you suggest having a chat in your room earlier? Now that there are only both of us here, we may have that chat.”Upon hearing this, Nadine sneered., “If you want to take me, you have my consent. But if you just want to fool around with me, I have my dignity.”“Let’s just stick to business,” Adrian said.“I have no idea really.” Nadine put on a weak facade and said in a pleading tone, “I’m begging you, sir. I really have no clue about this matter. You can either leave or you can sleep with me and consider that as my compensation to you.“Will you just please stop asking me about this already?”Adrian did not respond. However, she could tell from his expression that he had no intention of leaving.Noticing his unyielding attitude, Nadine inhaled a deep breath and said, “Fine. The person who provided the book is named

Even though Nadine was a Gardner, she was on the lowest branch of the family tree.Chase was the one in full control and had the highest authority over the Gardners. His words carried all the weight in the family and he had no regard for people’s lives, only caring about profits.The reason why Nadine was reluctant to tell Adrian before was that she was afraid Chase would find out she had revealed the truth to Adrian. If Chase found out about this, he would surely beat her within an inch of her life even if he spared her.“Sir, please, I’m begging you to let me off the hook. This is all that I can tell you. If I were to continue, Uncle Chase would surely kill me. I’m still young and have yet to enjoy the pleasures of being with a man. I don’t want to die yet.”Nadine turned to pleading. After interacting with Adrian, she discovered that the man was a total blockhead who was completely immune to beautiful women. All he cared about was his Wyvern Peak.She even began to wonder how A

The journey took five hours and a few hundred kilometers.Nadine had no idea where Adrian was taking her. She tried to ask, but he gave no reply.After driving into the mountain forest, Nadine could not hold back anymore. She said to Adrian with a frown, “Stop the car. I’m about to wet myself.”Adrian instantly stopped the car. Nadine turned her head and looked at the surroundings. “Not a single toilet is to be found in this desolated mountain. Where am I supposed to do my business?”“There’s no one in the forest so no one will see you if you go in the bush,” Adrian said.“Are you even human?” Nadine asked.“You may consider me as not human. Go, but keep an eye out. There are poisonous snakes here.”“Where the heck are we?”“Mount Syrax.”“Why did you take me here?”“Are you going or not? We’re leaving if you’re not.”Nadine swiftly dove behind a bush and her eyes darted about out of fear of finding animals or insects underneath her. She freaked out for nothing.She returne
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 588
In the next moment, Nadine shifted her astounded gaze to Adrian.War Legate Draco’s real name was Adrian Xander, and many of the people buried in this cemetery had the name ‘Adrian Xander’ as well.It was as if there was some sort of pattern—a huge scheme hidden within.Nadine was in complete shock at this very moment. She suddenly found that everything was not as simple as she had imagined them to be. She said in a daze, “Your name is Adrian Xander? What’s up with all this then? Why do so many of the deceased here share the same first and last names as you?”This was no coincidence.Adrian smiled and took a seat on the ground outside the cemetery. Nadine stood by his side and lowered her head to look at him.He said, “All the Adrians here were not killed on the same day or even the same year. After roughly over twenty years, so many people who shared the same name as me are now dead.”“Why is that?” asked Nadine in confusion.Adrian raised his head and looked at her. “Do you s
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 589
Nadine finally understood everything, never expecting such a thing to be happening.She inhaled a deep breath and said, “It’s no wonder so many people by the same name were killed and buried here. It turns out that they were assassinated according to someone’s hit list. Hence, you came to see me because you suspect that they were assassinating Wyvern Peak’s soldiers based on the book auctioned by Fowler House ten years ago, right?”Adrian said, “That book is the only clue I have now. If the people behind this have a skilled professional to perform precise calculations and all sorts of complicated predictions, it is highly possible that they can predict the name of the next legate. Then, they will assassinate everyone who shares the same name.”“I understand now,” Nadine said.“If Wyvern Peak is dissolved, do you think Novemton’s Internal Affairs has the ability to protect the country? Ms. Nadine, frankly, it’s not that I refuse to admit defeat. Novemton’s Internal Affairs and I are
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 590
Nadine said this in a very sincere tone.She did not wish to die as she still had plenty of items to check off her bucket list. However, if Chase found out about this, she would surely be killed.Adrian smiled and pulled Nadine to her feet. “Don’t worry. No one’s going to kill you.”Nadine smiled at him. She exhaled a deep breath, gazed at their surroundings, and said with a smile, “This is a good place for a date if not for the cemetery. I’ve never been on a date before.”“You’ll meet someone at the right time. Come one. We should get going,” Adrian said.Nadine did not comment further and unwillingly left with Adrian. She had grown fond of this place with its blooming flowers and scenic view. However, it was apparent that this place was not for one to linger at.***Nadine and Adrian returned to Southrive. He immediately sent her back to Fowler House.Adrian called Samantha to inform her that he was not planning to return to Swallowston and would be staying in Southrive for 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

"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
