“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 Cowells grew increasingly excited when Violet said this.None of them were able to hold back their greed.“Hahaha! The Cowells will soon become a huge and powerful family!” Francis said excitedly, “Heaven is on our side. Bailar will be part of Swallow Central, and the Cowells will grow to become a hugely reputable family!”To them, pride and ego were worthless notions at that point. In fact, they already assumed that Bailar was theirs to claim ownership of.They had completely forgotten about the agreement they made with Samantha when they accepted her seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars.***That night, Samantha and Adrian returned home after she was done with her tasks at Bailar.Rue had already prepared dinner and was waiting for the pair to return.“You’re home, Sam. Go wash your hands and let’s eat,” Rue hurriedly said.Despite being poor, Rue had never mistreated Samantha. Not even once.She would always make sure Samantha’s meals were nutritious to replenish h

“Okay!“Here. You should eat more.” Rue was excited and piled more food onto Samantha’s plate.The family was in the midst of dinner when a frantic knocking came from outside the door. Rue went to answer it. She furrowed her eyebrows at the sight of the people standing outside. “What brings you here?”“What is it? Judging by your tone, am I not allowed to visit my granddaughter?” said Violet in a slightly angry tone.“That’s right, that’s right. You’re being quite disrespectful. Isn’t it perfectly justifiable for my grandmother to visit Samantha?” Francis said angrily.Rue was not fond of these Cowells, and she had not expected them to come knocking on her door again tonight. But she felt it inappropriate to reject them so she said, “Please, come in.”Violet and the other Cowells marched into the house. Samantha stood up in astonishment when she saw Violet and hastily said, “Why are you here, Grandmother? Have you eaten? Come and join us for dinner!”Violet looked solemn and her

“What?”The Cowells were shocked upon hearing Adrian’s remark. Not even Violet had expected Adrian to agree so easily.On the other hand, tears instantly started streaming down Samantha’s face when she heard what Adrian said. She roared, “What nonsense are you saying, Adrian?! Bailar is mine! Why would I give it to them?!”“I’m your grandmother, Samantha! Do you not have any respect for me?!” said Violet angrily upon hearing Samantha’s words.“I…” Samantha was shaken. Violet was going back on her word. Moreover, she did it so shamelessly and her actions left Samantha feeling hopeless.Adrian simply smiled at Samantha and comforted her by saying, “Don’t worry, Sam. The Cowells are jealous of you and came to take back the company after finding out about your collaboration with Nine Kings and that it got a spot in Swallow Central. Since they want it, let them have it.”“Adrian, what nonsense are you on about?” said Samantha as she sobbed.Adrian paid no attention to Samantha. He lo
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 78
The Cowells shook with excitement as they made their way there.“Hahaha! Bailar is ours, Grandmother. We got a contract with Nine Kings and we have a spot in Swallow Central. Our family’s status will rise from today forth!”Francis was growing restless in his seat, his face beaming with excitement.Clara was delighted as well. She inhaled a deep breath and said, “Our family will hold a different status from today onward. We will become an influential family of Swallowston when we open up at Swallow Central.”Nathan nodded and said, “Clara’s right, Mother. Our family’s status is about to change. The collaboration with Nine Kings and the Swallow Central spot are contributions of our family.“I’d like to see who in Swallowston will look down upon the Cowells from now on.”The Cowells felt really good about themselves and were delighted beyond comparison.Violet nodded and said, “Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Put all your efforts into managing the company properly once we
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 79
Through painstaking efforts, Bailar got the chance to rise again, yet it was seized by the Cowells.To Samantha, losing the company was losing her only opportunity to succeed. But what else could she do now?She shut her eyes as she lay in Adrian’s arms. She did not want to think or do anything.“Come on, get up.” Adrian caressed her hair.Samantha’s red eyes brimmed with tears. She did not wish to move.Adrian said, “Sam, forget about what happened for now. Just trust me. I have my ways to handle the situation.”Samantha raised her head and said in a hoarse voice, “Ways? What ways do you have? If you had your ways, you wouldn’t have let the Cowells take Bailar.”“They’ll return it in the same way they took it. Don’t worry,” Adrian comforted her.It would be useless for him to explain further at this point.Samantha inhaled deeply. She made up her mind to deal with the situation. Then, she said, “Let go of me. I’m fine. I’m going to get ready to attend Cassey’s wedding.“Fran

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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4814
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
