Despair, fear, and all sorts of emotions welled up inside Samantha, causing her to suffer a mental breakdown.Rick marched toward Adrian. The entire situation had gone out of control, what with his men surrounding the entire place.Nelson was still laughing away, thinking he was about to enjoy watching Adrian suffer.Meanwhile, everyone else was looking on with smiles on their faces.“Samantha’s husband is a dead man.”“Exactly! He’s going to have his legs broken and will have to pay the Kramer brothers a huge sum before this is over.”“What makes you think either of the brothers needs the money? That’s obviously not true.”In everyone’s mind, Adrian had signed his death warrant today.***Rick stopped before Adrian with a menacing look on his face. “Were you the one who hit my brother?”Samantha hurriedly tugged at Adrian, wanting him to apologize.However, Adrian raised his head and said, “That’s right.”“Have you gone mad, Adrian?!” Samantha cried. “Why are you being so

Nelson turned stiff and his smile froze in place.Everyone who thought Adrain was a dead man gaped with their mouths wide open.Samantha was covering her mouth. Her face had a look of awe as she gazed at Adrian.‘Did he just send the underworld boxing champion flying?’Nobody could believe what they just witnessed.Rick was a highly reputable man who had become the champion of the underworld boxing ring dozens of times. Yet, at that very moment, the same man was crying his heart out because of his broken hand.“I-Impossible… Impossible!”Such was Nelson’s first reaction.He heard a ringing in his head and his scalp tingled as he stumbled onto the floor, flabbergasted like everyone else.***Adrian stood tall, exuding a temperament of authority as a powerful war legate should. His aura was so strong that it was enough to demand obedience from everyone around him.The crowd began to retreat in awe.Adrian was like an emperor. Maybe even more powerful than an emperor. He was a

‘Help?’Everyone including the Kramer brothers was stunned.‘Nelson and Rick are clearly the victims here, yet Liam’s asking whether Adrian needs his help?!’Meanwhile, Samantha felt her head spinning from the shock.Adrian merely replied, “Give Daniel a call. I don’t want to hear the Kramer brothers’ names being mentioned in Swallowston ever again starting today. Also, I want the Kramer Group to be erased from existence.”Liam took a deep breath before he said, “I’ll inform him right away.”“Oh, also…” Adrian continued, “I want all of the men Rick brought with him erased as well.”Adrian’s orders fell like the rumbling of a thunderstorm. All of the men Rick brought with him who were behaving arrogantly a moment ago were dumbfounded. They were there under the impression that they were going to teach someone a lesson. Yet now, they were going to be turned into cripples.Like dominoes, these people fell to their knees and cried.Without a moment’s hesitation, Liam summoned all o

Adrian smiled at Samantha and asked after everything was over.He reached out to caress Samantha’s face, but she suddenly took a few steps back until her back was against the wall. Her eyes were filled with fear. She trembled as she stared at Adrian.“What’s the matter, Sam?” Adrian asked in confusion.Samantha bit her lips. She could not explain why, but she knew that she was terrified of Adrian. In fact, she could not even look him in the eye.Adrian instantly understood what was happening when he saw this. Hence, he took a deep breath and dispelled all of his negative emotions.It was only then Samantha was able to calm herself, no longer feeling as terrified as before.Indeed, she had suffered quite the fright today.Adrian said, “I’m sorry for scaring you, Sam. Everything’s okay now.”Samantha was finally able to pluck up her courage to look at Adrian when she realized that he had returned to normal. She then leaped into his embrace, wrapping her arms around his neck.“Yo

Without a doubt, Nine Kings had already decided that Bailar was going to receive the contract, proving Liam’s efficiency.It was because of this that Adrian no longer felt the need to lash out at him. He nodded and said, “I want you to handle all dealings Bailar has with Nine Kings. Make sure nothing goes wrong.”“Understood, Mr. Adrian.”Adrian left Liam’s office, after which the latter fell limp into his sofa and breathed out a long sigh. His secretary walked in and asked, “You seem really frightened of him, Mr. Liam. Why is that?”Liam’s secretary was called June Lawson, and she had been working with him for a long time.Liam was a man with a certain amount of pull within Swallowston, even going so far as being able to single-handedly bring changes to Swallowston. Yet, this very same man had shown himself to be fearful of a young man.Hearing this question, Liam said, “There’s much you still have to learn. Swallowston is no longer the same as it used to be. We may have been th

“How does twelve million dollars sound? Is that enough for you?” Jenson asked.“Twelve million dollars?” Samantha’s eyes opened wide.‘That’s too much! I haven’t done anything to deserve this amount!’ she thought.Jenson was taken aback when he heard Samantha’s response, thinking that the amount he proposed was not enough for her. Hence, he said, “In that case, let’s make it fifteen million. Is that all right with you?”“Fifteen million dollars? Umm…”Jenson was stunned once again. “Twenty-two million and three hundred thousand then That’s the best we can offer you. In fact, Vine will only be left with four million and five hundred thousand.”“No, I’m sorry. That’s not it.” Samantha shook her head repeatedly, shocked senseless from their interaction.‘There’s no way Bailar will be able to take on a contract worth over twenty-two million dollars!’“You’ve misunderstood me, Mr. Jenson. What I meant to say was that your offer is too much for my company to handle.”“Too much?” Jen

To Samantha, this was the success she needed to change Bailar for the better.She had successfully secured a contract with Swallow Central for four million and five hundred thousand dollars and won a contract with Nine Kings. So, of course, she was over the moon.Adrian smiled and stroked Samantha’s hair. “Congratulations.”Samantha wiped away her tears and looked upwards to calm herself. Then, she held Adrian’s hand and said, “Okay, let’s go.”Adrian nodded.***The couple left Nine Kings and headed back to Bailar, with Samantha taking the wheel.On the way, she began thinking about everything that had just happened. She had not expected Nine Kings to be so gracious as to accept Bailar, to which she was left feeling that something was amiss.“Adrian, I’ve been curious about something, but I’m not sure if you’ve realized it.”“What is it?” Adrian asked.Samantha twirled her hair.“Aren’t you curious why Nine Kings would award me a contract? After all, there are so many other

Nathan frantically waved his hands and said, “Mother, I just heard the news myself. Have you guys seen Nine Kings’ recent post?“Samantha’s Bailar is going to settle down in Swallow Central. Plus, she’s managed to bag a contract with Nine Kings worth four million and five hundred thousand dollars!” Nathan said excitedly.“What?!” Violet was dumbfounded when she heard this, while all of the Cowells were too stunned to speak.‘Bailar will be in Swallow Central?’‘That’s impossible!’‘Not even we are eligible to do such a thing, so how did Samantha manage such a feat?’Hugo, Violet’s second eldest son, said, “Is this true, Nathan?”“Without a doubt. Check Nine Kings’ latest post. They’re promoting this piece of news right now!”A few of them took out their phones to verify this, to which they were all left stunned.Nine Kings had announced that their contracts for the three hundred million dollar project had been completely distributed, with Bailar being awarded four hundred and

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.

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
