The Return of the War Legate Chapter 699
All the women glared at Adrian with their big, bright eyes as if they despised him.Adrian walked into the room and made a “calm down” hand gesture as he said, “Ladies, please take a seat and listen to what I have to say.”Upon hearing this, all the women spread out and sat everywhere including the bed, table, and wardrobe. They filled up the space and stared at him, their long legs swinging in the air.Ivy said, “You by the name of Draco, free us or kill us. What’s the point of imprisoning us here? Are we supposed to be your pets?”“Firstly, I’d like to emphasize that my name is not Draco. My name is Adrian. Adrian Xander,” he said as he looked toward Ivy.The women gasped in surprise.Adrian smiled and said, “I empathize with what happened to you, ladies. Hence, I’d like to befriend you, but you haven’t given me the chance to do so. Let’s discuss that today, all right? I’d like to offer you my support, and in exchange, you’ll work for me. What do you think?”“F*ck!” the women

They soon finished the table full of food like a sweeping tornado.Eira put down her cutlery after she was done eating. She raised her head to look at Adrian and said, “We’re done, War Legate Draco. Where’s the surprise you mentioned?”Adrian smiled, pulled out a serviette, and stretched out his hand to wipe away the food stains on Eira’s face. She was stunned for a moment and hastily shoved him away.“Don’t even think about trying to manipulate me with your gentleness. I won’t fall for it.”Adrian smiled and said as he gestured at the door, “Eira, open your eyes wide and see who’s here.”As his voice faded, all the women looked puzzled. It was at this exact moment that Mya entered the room with Joel, Megan, Wiley, and Dianne. The Snows walked into the room, and Megan began sizing up the numerous women. A few moments later, her gaze landed on Eira.Megan was stunned, and so were Joel and Wiley. They widened their eyes in great effort to identify the woman.Eira looked dazed when
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 701
Upon saying that, Joel shakily made his way toward Eira and Megan, enveloping them in a hug. The family of three was immersed in the joy of their reunion.Eira had yet to recover from her surprise.It had been twelve years.She did not have the courage to go home because her superior would identify her family and kill them if she were to go home. Hence, whenever she got the urge to go home, she would refrain and had yet to step foot in her family home for twelve full years.She never expected to be reunited with her parents here today.“Eira, we’ve found you at last.” Wiley’s face was covered in tears, his body shaking and his voice thick with emotion.Eira looked toward him and muttered, “B-Brother?”Wiley nodded heavily. “Yes, Eira. It’s Wiley. Do you still remember me? You used to follow me around when you were young. You’re all grown up now—a woman.”Eira’s mouth hung agape as tears streamed down her face.Wiley said, “Please allow me to introduce you to your sister-in-law

Megan was at a loss for what to do.Adrian said, “I brought them here to show all of you that there’s no hardship in this world that can’t be overcome. As long as you’re still alive, there’s hope.”‘So being alive is hope?’Eira did not respond and the room was silent.Ivy walked over and knelt before Eira. She placed her hand on Eira’s shoulder and said, “Maybe Adrian’s right. Being alive is hope. Although twelve years have passed, your parents never stopped looking for you. Perhaps, Adrian is right.”Eira was still crying.Ivy stood up and looked toward Adrian. “Legate, I’ll tell you everything that we’ve experienced and everything that you wish to know. However, I have one condition that you must agree to.”Adrian nodded.Ivy continued, “None of us here have any living family other than Eira. However, no one wants to die and everyone wants to live. Wyvern Peak will be duty-bound to protect us and ensure our safety.”Adrian nodded once again and said, “This has been our resp

‘Eternity?’The Snows were astonished.Ivy squeezed Eira’s shoulder and said smilingly, “We’ll wait for you outside so as not to disturb your reunion with your family, Eira.”She then led the other women outside, leaving Eira and her family alone in the room.***In Battle Warrior Tower’s office, Adrian was sitting on the sofa sipping coffee. Ivy walked into the office but did not utter a word.Upon noticing the situation, he smiled at her and said, “Please, sit.”Ivy took a seat opposite Adrian. He then got up and poured her a cup of coffee.“This is the coffee that Internal Affairs’ Chase drinks frequently. It’s purported to cost tens of thousands of dollars per fifty grams. It’s reserved coffee from Mount Caligo. Have a taste!” he said while beckoning toward the coffee mug.Ivy picked up the mug but did not drink. Instead, she looked at Adrian and said, “Go ahead and ask your questions. We’re already at the end of our rope now. I’ll tell you everything I know.”Adrian smil

Adrian shut his eyes and the image of Bloody Rose’s gigantic palace in the outlands emerged in his mind.According to Ivy, the person behind Bloody Rose was Eternity. He had no choice but to acknowledge that it was very mysterious indeed.Adrian opened his eyes and said, “So, is Eternity aware of everything that’s currently happening in Swallowston?”Ivy flipped her hair and said, “I suppose. I’m not too sure because my orders were from Bloody Rose’s management personnel. They told us of the room under the statue at St. Elmer’s Church, and we were ordered to retrieve the book hidden there.”“How did she know about the room?”Ivy shook her head.Adrian beckoned her to continue her story.Ivy said, “Bloody Rose is holding Louisa hostage. They’ll kill her if we fail to acquire the book or flee after acquiring it.”“Who’s Louisa?”“She’s part of our group. We go through thick and thin together like a family.”Adrian was enlightened. It was no wonder these women did not hesitate t
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 705
Five million people?That was a huge organization. Moreover, that number was just a rough estimation.Adrian pursed his lips but he did not speak.Ivy stood up, looked at him, and said, “Bloody Rose is scarier than Chase. Moreover, if I’m not mistaken, Chase has been colluding with Bloody Rose in secret for a long time. It’s just that Wyvern Peak hasn’t noticed because you guys were busy fighting wars.”Adrian composed his train of thoughts. Ivy and the others showed up because they were assigned to do so by Bloody Rose. On the other hand, the person behind Bloody Rose was named Eternity, and no one had seen her before.The part that puzzled him was that Eternity knew about Kayn, and she knew that he was investigating Heroes of Wyvern Peak’s whereabouts. Did she send her people to retrieve the book Kayn left behind so that Adrian would not see it?If that was the case, Eternity had been watching him all this time. It could be said that his every action was within her control. In

Adrian smiled and said, “You ladies could stay at my place, but it won’t be for free. You’re all highly trained assassins from Bloody Rose, which makes you very organized. I’d like you to work for me.”“Not a chance. We’re not going to help you with anything or kill anyone. We won’t get involved in the strife between you and Chase. We may be killers, but we’ve never harmed one of our own, so you can forget about it.”“Is there really no room for negotiation here?”“Yes,” Ivy answered firmly. She then added, “We were forced to work for Bloody Rose in the first place. Now that that part of our life is over, we’ll never return to it even if we have to die.”Adrian asked, “But what if I can help you by saving all of your sisters that Bloody Rose is holding hostage?”“What?!”Ivy was slightly startled when she heard this. She exchanged glances with Eira, while Mya’s eyes curved up as she smiled and observed.“Are you pulling my leg? You think you can save them? Even if you can defeat

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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4811
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4808
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
