Nadine looked at her mother and asked, “What else are you hiding from me? Am I really your daughter, for starters? Why won’t you tell me anything?”Hearing this, Carlene knew Nadine was already aware of everything. She was already prepared for Nadine to find out the truth ever since Adrian showed up.“Come and sit, Naddy. Let’s sleep together tonight.” Carlene smiled as she patted her bed.Nadine walked over but knelt by the bedside and said, “I’m no longer a child, Mother. I’m thirty now. How long are you planning on hiding the truth from me?She then asked, “That corpse in the glass coffin at Grandfather’s villa… It’s Father, isn’t it? Don’t you think it’s just ridiculous for a daughter to wet herself from the shock of seeing her father’s corpse? After all, you know that happens to me whenever I get overly anxious…”“I thought this would all be over, but War Legate Draco has found out about it in the end… You see, Naddy. I sincerely wished for history not to repeat itself. Many

Never did it once cross Nadine’s mind that the person who was responsible for her father’s death would turn out to be her very own uncle, a man she had respected.All of these revelations destroyed everything she thought she knew. Turns out, her identity was definitely not that of an ordinary person.Nadine covered her mouth, unable to put into words what she felt at that moment.‘Father’s been dead for so many years, yet he hasn’t been able to be buried properly, while Mother’s been hiding this all these years.’Nadine cried at that thought as she asked, “Mother, why didn’t you expose Uncle Chase even though you know he has done so many heinous crimes?”Carlene shook her head. “It’s no use. Nobody can do anything to him as long as he’s in charge. In fact, I was prepared to take this to my grave if War Legate Draco hadn’t shown up.”“Why didn’t you hand the Dragon Medallion over to him then?” Nadine asked.“It wasn’t time yet. I wasn’t sure what he was going to do next. If he is

At the same time, Juno was sitting on her bed downstairs, looking at her laptop screen. Her screen showed a video feed that was coming from the observatory.Juno was the one who set the cameras up in that place. She had seen Adrian heading upstairs and could not fall asleep, so she turned on the live feed in the hopes of finding out what her brother was up to.She was dumbfounded when she overheard Adrian’s conversation with Rue.‘I’m going to become the next legate of Wyvern Peak?!’***“No!”Rue was silent for a moment before rejecting Adrian’s statement.“I won’t let you take Juno down the path you’ve taken. Do you have any idea how much I feared for your life ever since I found out you’re the legate? I’ve been so afraid that my son would leave me someday. Do you even know how that feels?!”Faced with Rue’s question, Adrian replied, “I understand, but sometimes your thoughts can’t dictate what we should and shouldn’t do. We’re all grown-ups now, we should choose our own path
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 621
Adrian and Rue debated over Juno inside the observatory that night.At that moment, Juno ran to where they were, with Samantha following behind her.Just as Adrian and Rue were still locked in a heated argument, Juno suddenly said, “I’ll do it, Mother!”“What?!”Both Adrian and Rue turned toward Juno, but Rue’s expression seemed stiff.As Juno slowly walked up the observatory, Rue asked, “What nonsense are you on about, Juno? What will you do?”“Mother, I’ll go to ACMA. I’m willing to walk this path, so please let me do it.”“What?!” Rue was slightly dazed, clearly not expecting Juno to make such a decision plus with such a firm attitude.Hearing how determined she was, Rue said, “You should reconsider this, Juno. You’re about to choose a path you can never return from. It’s a literal pit of fire you’re trying to jump into! How could I possibly stand by and watch you do that?”“But I’m not afraid! I’m a grown woman now, Mother. I have my own path to choose, and I don’t intend
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 622
After a while, Adrian said, “Are you sure about this, Juno?”Juno nodded. “I want to go, Big Brother. I really do. No other decision in my life has ever been more important than this one. I wish to walk the path my father once walked and live for his sake. I also want to be your comrade.”“The ACMA is a tough place. Are you sure your legs can handle it?” Samantha asked.Juno shook her head. “My legs are fine now. I can move around like a normal person. Please let me do this, Big Brother.”Adrian paused for a long time before saying, “Go back to your room and pack your things. I’ll have Daniel drive you there early tomorrow morning.”“Okay!” Juno acknowledged this and rushed downstairs.“Is there really a need for you to do this in such a hurry?” Samantha asked, but Adrian remained silent.***Throughout that sleepless night, everyone was mulling over their own thoughts.The following day, a number of jeeps drove into One Jewel Road’s courtyard early in the morning. Daniel led

Everyone turned around to see Rue rushing out of the living room and dashing toward Juno.Juno silently looked at Rue.“I know I can’t stop you, nor will I try to anymore. If you must go, I want you to go with your head held high. You don’t have to feel guilty about anything, nor should you feel any pressure.“I won’t interfere since you’ve already made your decision, but all I ask is that you stay safe. Can you do that?” Rue asked.Juno nodded in acknowledgment. “I’ll make sure to be safe. I still have to take care of you when you grow old, you know? You took me under your wing, so you’re also my real mother forever. I will never leave you.”Rue embraced Juno tightly as she said, “Go chase your dreams! Remember to call home often!”“You take care of yourself too. I’ll be off now.“Mother, Big Brother, Sam, Jojo… Thank you for being there for me after my mother died. I love you all.”Juno bowed upon saying this, then turned around and got into Daniel’s car as she shed a tear.

Rue looked up and stared at the vast skySamantha held on to Rue’s arm and said, “Let’s head inside, Mother. With great power comes great responsibility. Adrian’s not just your son now, but Navia’s beacon of hope and the future it possesses.”Rue looked at Samantha. “I’m sorry you’ve had to suffer so much hardship after marrying into our family, Sam. You haven’t been able to enjoy your life, and now that you’ve finally gotten it, Adrian—”Samantha smiled and interrupted her by saying, “What are you saying, Mother? I live in a villa, eating meal after meal of exquisite food every day. Plus, I’ll have a child to accompany me soon. I couldn’t ask for anything more.“Most importantly, my husband’s a hero—someone his child can look up to in the future. When our child grows up, I’m going to tell them all their father’s stories!”Hearing this, Rue smiled and went back inside with Samantha.***That day, a commotion swept through the cities of Southrive. So much so that Novemton’s Inter

Stomp, stomp, stomp!The sound of footsteps could be heard as soldiers in Wyvern Peak’s battle suits swiftly covered all the exits. At the same time, the Gardners quickly left the courtyard and discussed among themselves.“What’s going on?”“Why would Wyvern Peak surround our house all of a sudden?”“What’s happening?”“I don’t know!”The younger members of the family were exchanging confused looks, when someone suddenly yelled, “Quick! We have to inform Uncle Chase and the others!”They quickly took out their phones and made several calls.After a moment, the older Gardners rushed back home upon receiving calls. Within minutes, everyone, including the head of the Gardner, the family’s daughters, sons-in-law, and other relatives arrived at the residence.“They’re here!” someone yelled out when a number of luxurious cars drove into the courtyard.Louis had been waiting anxiously. The cars stopped and the older Gardners stepped out.“Father!”“Uncle!”The youngsters yelled o

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 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
