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

Upon hearing Adrian's words, Kayn looked up and struggled to find the words.The living room was quiet as everyone waited for him to speak.After a while, Shirley urged him, “Go on? What are you waiting for?”Kayn stopped keeping everyone in suspense and lowered his head as he said, “Sir, I was indeed the one who gave Chase’s father that book. It was also me who leaked the information to Chase. It was all my doing.”Upon hearing this, Shirley widened her eyes in disbelief.Adrian had already suspected as much, so he was not surprised.Mya asked, “I know that you know full well what you’ve been doing, so why did you do it?”“Because Wyvern Peak killed my lover,” Kayn replied.“We killed your lover?”Kayn nodded, while Shirley furrowed her eyebrows and asked, “Is this the lover Mother mentioned before?”Kayn did not refute and said, “Yes, that’s her. She died in the hands of those from Wyvern Peak, so I wanted to avenge her.”“Do you know how many deaths you’ve caused out of y

He said, “Millie was beautiful. The most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. However, she was beheaded by Wyvern Peak, and I saw it with my own eyes.”“Carry on.” Mya urged.“After her death, I fled back home with nothing else but vengeance in my mind. Later on, I stumbled upon Heroes of Wyvern Peak. It was given to me by a farmer who lived in the mountains.”“Who’s the author of the book? What is it based on?” Adrian asked.Kayn thought for a long time before he answered, “According to the farmer, he found the book in the mountains. After doing some research on it, I suspected that the book was written by a powerful master who was proficient in astrology. Moreover, the book was written just as Wyvern Peak was established. I searched through various ancient books and historical records. Finally, I was able to deduce that the author of the book was Hannibal Hurst.”“Hannibal Hurst?” Mya frowned.Adrian explained, “Hannibal was famous for his military strategies. He once helped the emp

Kayn lowered his head and said nothing.Christina was so angry that she wanted to go up and slap him. However, Adrian stepped in and said, “Stand back, Christina. I still have some questions for him.”After Christina stepped back as she was told, Adrian continued, “That time more than a decade ago when you first saw me at St. Elmer’s Church… Why did you tell my father what you said?”Kayn recalled and shook his head. “I was researching the book from behind the scenes and you just so happen to come up during my investigations. Everything I said to your father at the time was based on the prophecy, but I never thought it’d be referring to you.”“Did you intentionally try to meet me a few days ago?” Adrian asked.“You could say that. I was broke and went to Charles’ church to seek help. I unexpectedly met you there again. That’s when I thought I’d try to show off a little. I wasn’t expecting for you to be so cautious that you'd start investigating me because of the things I said,” Ka

“Joanne, Nadine, Adaline… Their names all crop up in the prophecy. And the only way to save them is to know what the prophecy is. I believe you wouldn’t disregard your own family now, would you?” Kayn smiled.It sounded like he had brought out some substantial leverage.Yet, just as Kayn thought Adrian would not dare kill him, Adrian sliced his palm across Kayn’s neck, causing his gaze to fade away and his body to tremble as his head rolled onto the floor.“Aah!”“Aah!”Christina and Shirley screamed the moment they realized what had happened.Kayn had died within seconds, leaving Christina stunned.Shirley felt her scalp tingle as she yelled, “Father!”Yet, Kayn’s head remained lifelessly still.At that moment, the mother and daughter stared at Adrian and realized he had turned into a completely different man.“Nobody is allowed to hold any leverage over me,” Adrian said as he brought out a napkin to wipe the blood off his hand. “If I were Kayn, I would’ve recorded the conte

The mother and daughter were stunned and speechless when they heard this.In their mind, they always thought of Adrian as a kind and mature man. Yet, on that very day, he had shown them his cruel side, causing the two to see him in a totally different light.They merely stared at Adrian silently as he walked away.***That night, a huge incident happened at St. Elmer’s Church in Swallowston.Mya personally led Wyvern Peak’s soldiers to surround the church before ordering more than a hundred men to dig three feet under the church to see if Kayn had left anything there.It was already late at night, and nobody in Swallowston knew what was happening. Under the cover of darkness, Adrian stood outside the church with his hands behind his back, seeming extremely calm.The soldiers quickly searched through the church. Blade walked over and said, “Sir, we’ve searched through the entire church but found nothing suspicious. Is it possible that he didn’t leave it here?”Adrian believed th

Just as Blade was about to lead a few men down to the hidden room, a silhouette rushed out from within.“Be careful!” Adrian shouted.The person down there was so quick that Blade could not react in time. Adrian quickly pulled Blade backward when he saw that the person was about to attack him. Then, the person came out of the hidden room, dressed in white and wearing a ponytail.The person had no plans of staying there for much longer and quickly dismantled the soldiers and beat them unconscious.“Bye-bye, my friends from Wyvern Peak.”The voice definitely belonged to a woman, and she instantly disappeared, followed by a cloud of smoke.“Get down!” Adrian said.Everyone’s first instinct upon hearing this was to lay low, while Adrian turned around to evade the incoming attack. An explosion happened right after, but nobody was hurt since the blast radius was small.As the smoke subsided, Blade angrily yelled, “F*ck! It was a woman! How dare she get in our way! I’m going to make h

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
