The Return of the War Legate Chapter 659
“Let go of me! Let go!”Kayn was lifted up and dragged by a group of soldiers. A wave of fear overcame him, causing him to struggle relentlessly.Yet, his struggles were obviously in vain.Soon enough, Kayn was dragged in front of Adrian. When he saw Adrian, he was clearly not as calm as he was in the past. Instead, a wave of panic shrouded him.After Kayn was thrown to the ground, he raised his head and looked at Adrian in horror.“We meet again, Clayman,” Adrian smiled at him.Kayn, not knowing what to say, just nodded his head in agreement.Seeing this, Adrian laughed, “It’s unfortunate that we’re meeting under such circumstances despite how mysterious I thought you were when we last met.”Kayn breathed heavily and said, “Sir, I helped you take over Wyvern Peak. You should be thanking me. Is this how you treat your benefactor?”“My benefactor?” Adrian chuckled. “Have you seriously been under that impression this whole time? Come to think of it, I once thought you were the t

However, the reason for the cordoning of St. Elmer's Church was not disclosed, which became a hot topic of discussion among the public.***It was already eleven in the evening by the time Adrian returned home, and Samantha had already fallen asleep. Since getting pregnant, Samantha’s belly had been growing by the day, and so was the baby she was carrying.Adrian took a cold shower before getting into bed, ready to get some rest. However, his phone rang right at that moment.Daniel had sent him a message with a video attached to it. Adrian clicked on the video and discovered that it was about Juno.In the video, Juno was undergoing physical training at ACMA, and it was very evident she was working hard. Despite her legs trembling and her clothes soaked with sweat, she persisted and constantly pushed herself to her limits.After watching the video, Adrian put down his phone and lay down next to Samantha.“Did you find Kayn?” Samantha's voice came just as he lay down.Adrian was

After a whole night of sleep, Adrian had breakfast and headed to the Battle Warrior headquarters in Swallowston.As soon as Adrian arrived downstairs at the department, he saw Shirley anxiously waiting for him.The moment Shirley saw Adrian approaching, she hurried over and said, “Adrian, you're here! I've been waiting for you for so long.”Shirley and her mother, Christina, had moved from Southeast to Swallowston and were temporarily staying at the department, courtesy of Adrian.Last night, Shirley heard that Adrian had managed to apprehend Kayn, which was why she was waiting for Adrian this morning.“What's up?” Adrian asked her.Shirley bit her lip and grabbed Adrian's arm, saying, “I heard that you found Kayn. I’d like to see him. Is that okay? I mean, he's my father, after all.”Adrian took a moment to think before answering Shirley’s question. He shook his head and said, “I can’t let you see him yet.”“Why not?” Shirley said, dissatisfied. “He’s my father. Why can’t I se

“One time when we were drinking, he told me something about Wyvern Peak and Internal Affairs. He said that he predicted who the legate of Wyvern Peak would be, and that War Legate Draco owed his position all to his prophecy.“He also said that the next legate of Wyvern Peak would be a woman,” Charles confessed.Mya looked at Adrian and furrowed her brows. “Sir, does this really mean Juno is going to become the next legate?”Adrian did not reply as the decision ultimately rested with him. Ignoring Mya's question, he turned to Charles and said, “So, you’re a drinker, huh? I thought I heard you’ve sworn off alcohol?”Charles replied awkwardly, “Yes, I did. but who could possibly resist having a drink or two sometimes?”“I understand.” Adrian laughed. “So, did you put on that entire show last night just to prove to the world that I’d submit to you?”Charles did not dare to speak.Adrian continued, “Looks like you and I both have a penchant for putting on shows, but that’s not an iss

“The future?”Kayn heaved a sigh of relief and seemed to relax a little. With a smile, he said, “Surely there’s no need for all this if talking about the future’s all you want, sir. I was able to predict you becoming the legate more than a decade ago, which means I’m able to predict your future now. However, you’re aware this is a secret, aren’t you?“I lost my legs because of that first secret I leaked to you.”Kayn patted his phantom legs as he spoke.Seeing this, Adrian said, “You’ve mentioned multiple times how you’re able to predict my future. But the question now is are you able to predict your own future?”Kayn was slightly startled, clearly not expecting Adrian to ask that. He pondered for a long time as though he did not have an answer.“That’s a very good question, sir. In fact, I have predicted my own future not too long ago. However, I can’t tell you what I surmised.”Kayn wanted to maintain his air of mystery for Adrian to believe that he did indeed possess powers.

Adrian's face was filled with a smile, but his smile made Kayn feel very uneasy—terrified even.Kayn's expression had completely changed at this point because Adrian's words made him feel like he was going to suffer a crisis. He said, “I may be proficient in astrology, but I’m unable to help the dead pass on. You should find someone more suitable for this job.”Adrian replied, “No worries, Kayn. However, I am curious from whom you learned your abilities. I recall a woman named Christina saying she had no idea you possessed such powers.”“What?!”Kayn was taken aback, while Adrian continued, “I met a girl named Shirley a few days ago. She’s a rather nice girl who’s actually here right now. She even pestered me to take her out for some sightseeing. Do you know who she is?”Kayn turned pale and trembled, no longer able to remain calm at this point.“Wh-What are you doing?” he asked.“Oh! It’s not me who’s going to do anything. It’s you. Are you aware of the times we live in right n
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 665
Kayn trembled. The development of his situation had clearly exceeded his imagination.He was now able to tell that Adrian was suspicious of him, but he had never even considered the possibility of all that happening. In his mind, Heroes of Wyvern Peak was supposed to be untraceable, so he wondered how Adrian found out about it.While Kayn took a deep breath, Adrian tapped the table with his index finger, waiting for a response.After a long while, Kayn said, “I wasn’t expecting you to be this smart, sir. I thought you would think of me as a benefactor after I showed up in front of you last time. I wasn't expecting you to suspect me."Adrian's expression remained calm and did not answer.Meanwhile, Mya said, “The legate is a man of principles and has never believed in unscientific stuff like being able to predict the future. So, do you regret your actions now? All you’ve done in your life is make mistake after mistake. I bet you weren’t expecting the legate to look into your backgr

Shirley, who was wearing a long dress, anxiously ran into the lobby.When she saw Kayn on the sofa, she froze. On the other hand, Kayn’s fierce expression changed the moment he turned his head around and locked eyes with his daughter.“S-Shirley... Is it really you?” Kayn said excitedly when he saw her.Shirley stood there in a daze. Her last memory of Kayn, her father, was back when she was in her teens. Now that she was in her twenties, it has been almost a decade since she last saw him.At that moment, Shirley covered her mouth with one hand as tears welled up in her eyes.“Shirley,” Kayn called out again.Despite his divorce from Christina, Shirley was still his daughter at the end of the day, and his only living relative in the world.For a moment, Shirley had no idea what to say in that situation. She wiped her tears and turned to Adrian, asking, “Is he Kayn, Adrian? Why does he look so disheveled?”Adrian nodded and motioned for Shirley to sit next to him.Obediently, S

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?

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.

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
