Adrian remained silent for a moment before he said, “These immortals that I speak of are capable of living past a thousand years old. Ten thousand, even. Since Hannibal’s a part of this, he must still be alive. We have to get to the bottom of this.”Mya said, “If all of this is true, we could never go up against an immortal. After all, everyone at Wyvern Peak is nothing more than a character in his game.”“I want you to keep this a secret from everyone else while I investigate. Also, make sure this piece of metal is stored safely. We mustn’t let anyone activate its powers, or the whole city might be destroyed.”“Understood.” Mya nodded in acknowledgment.At that moment, the landline rang. Mya reached out to grab the phone and said, “Yes?”“Madam, there’s trouble! Madam Legate has been kidnapped!” a voice said urgently from the other end of the line.“What?!” Mya was instantly stunned.Adrian, too, was shocked.“A group of highly trained women charged into One Jewel Road and abd

Rue and Joanna also had daggers pointed at them by Ivy’s subordinates, so none of them dared to make any sudden moves.Samantha and Joanna were already fast asleep, so neither of them could comprehend what was happening when these women suddenly barged into their rooms and captured them.“Stand back, all of you! Stand back, or the woman gets it!”Ivy was yelling angrily as her dagger dangerously pressed against Samantha’s neck when she saw the increasing number of soldiers around her. Samantha felt threatened by Ivy’s cold temperament that she did not dare make any sudden moves. There were beads of sweat forming on her forehead.Hearing this, the soldiers stopped and began to retreat. Blade then stepped forward and said, “You better treat her with a little more respect, woman. She’s carrying the legate’s child. I’ll cut you to shreds if anything bad happens to her or the baby!”“What?” Ivy was slightly taken aback and reached out to touch Samantha’s belly. With a smile, she said,

Mya would have berated Ivy if not because of Ivy’s identity.“I don’t care about anything else. I just want what’s mine. Stop asking me about things that aren’t related. Give me the book and everyone gets along swimmingly. Refuse to give me the book and we’ll fight to the death!”“Choose, Draco. What’s more important? The book, or your wife and child?” Ivy said coldly.“I’ve already burned the book,” replied Adrian.“Do you think I’d fall for your lie?” Ivy sneered.“I really burned it.”“What?”Ivy was stunned. She turned her head and exchanged glances with her sisters.The redhead said, “Are you playing a joke on us or something, Draco? Hand over the book or it won’t be a good time for both you and us.”Adrian shrugged and answered, “I’m telling the truth. I’ve already burned the book. If you don’t believe me, you are free to go to the Battle Warrior Tower and verify it. The ashes are still there.”“Did…Did you really burn it?” Ivy was stunned as she felt a knot in the pit

“Cut the crap. If you want to kill me, then just do it!” roared Ivy.“Do you really want to die?” asked Adrian.Ivy stared at Adrian coldly and said, “You’ve destroyed our final hope. You’re a b*stard, Draco. Give me a quick death. Doing such nonsense is useless.”Adrian was amused. “What if I don’t kill you, but kill your sisters?”“Wh-What did you say?” Ivy’s eyes widened and there was a tinge of fear in her gaze.Ivy shouted, “Draco, how would you be any different from Internal Affairs’ Chase if you do such a thing? Kill me if you want. My sisters aren’t involved in this matter. Release them.”Adrian remained calm. “It’s possible that you don’t fully understand my temperament yet because it’s your first time truly interacting with me. You only need to answer my questions.”Ivy lowered her head and glanced at her sisters who were pinned to the ground. The redhead raised her head and cried, “We’d rather die than yield, Ivy! Let Draco kill us if he wants. We never had any hopes

“I… I…”Ivy opened her little mouth. But instead of answering with words, she stabbed at Adrian with her dagger to express her resistance.Adrian grabbed the swinging dagger and tossed it to the ground. Soon afterward, he kneed her in the abdomen heavily once again.Ivy shook profusely. Adrian loosened his grip over her and she landed on the ground. She raised her tear-streaked face and her mouth hung open. She appeared to be in agony.“Don’t hit her, Draco. Hit me instead!” The redhead pinned on the ground said in a shrill voice.Adrian ignored her. He got down on one knee and looked at Ivy’s tear-streaked, panic-stricken face.“Gahh!” the redhead screamed and struggled frantically. However, she was utterly incapable of freeing herself from the Wyvern Peak soldier holding her down.The redhead shouted once again, “You b*stard! Let go of her, Draco! Let go of her. Please, I beg you not to hit her anymore. She’s no longer a normal woman. Please stop hurting her.”Adrian turned a

Eira said, “Don’t be fooled by his sweet words, Ivy. He’ll never remove his mask and show his true face. Our lives are torture anyway, so we might as well die.”Ivy nodded and said nothing.However, just as Eira’s voice faded, Adrian reached up and removed his mask, revealing his face to Ivy and Eira. The women were astonished when they saw War Legate Draco’s true face, and their attention was fully drawn to it.It was a young face that looked to be less than twenty-five years old.Eira was astonished, and so was Eira. In their minds, they believed the War Legate Draco under the mask was more than thirty years old. However, the face underneath looked extremely young.Adrian said, “I don’t wear a mask to hide myself. Perhaps what I’ve done for the inland is for myself, but you’ve misunderstood me, and I can prove it to you.”As he spoke, Adrian removed his battle suit and exposed his upper body. Eira and Ivy stared at him and found his body covered in scars and healed gunshot woun

Ivy, Eira, and the other women of Bloody Rose were taken away.Adrian ordered Blade to imprison them at Battle Warrior Tower temporarily. Following the departure of the women, Wyvern Peak’s soldiers retired and One Jewel Road was quiet once again. Mya walked over and said to Adrian, “Sir, based on what we’ve learned from these women, Bloody Rose is not as simple as we imagined. Looks like there’s a leader at the top of the organization who’s doing something that we don’t know about.”She was right. Ivy and the others were clearly expendable. “Make some preparations for me to head to Yelloton tomorrow,” said Adrian. Mya nodded. Soon after, she left in a car. After Mya left, Adrian made his way to Samantha and cupped her face with his hands. He asked concerningly, “Are you all right, Sam?”Samantha cracked a sincere smile and nodded. “Your Sam is fine, but I’m not. My neck was cut,” Joanna said grievously. Adrian looked toward Joanna. There was a cut on the skin of her n

Joanna’s interest was piqued.She giggled and said, “Adrian, why do you want to turn the monarch into a figurehead? Are you trying to overthrow the government and build the Xander Nation?”Adrian glared at Joanna.She continued to giggle and said, “If you were to build such a nation and become its monarch, you’ll practice polygamy, right? If you do, remember to count me in. Samantha can be the queen while I play the difficult position of royal consort as best as I can!”“Hahaha!” Samantha burst into laughter at Joanna’s remark. “Stop talking nonsense, Jojo. The monarch’s last name is Nave, after all. How can a Xander become the monarch? Speaking of which, the current monarch is quite something. If he had even an ounce of intelligence, he wouldn’t have allowed Chase to do so many things right under his nose.”“That’s right!” Joanna answered in agreement.Samantha asked Adrian, “Dear, I believe you have it all figured out, right? If you turn Novemton’s monarch into a figurehead, th

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
