Chapter 747

Author: Celestial Clouds
Alan jumped up from the sofa upon receiving the text and called out to his sister who was in her room. “Elaine, I’m heading out!”

Elaine walked out of her room and asked, “Where are you going?”

“Blaze invited me out for a drink,” answered Alan.

Elaine stamped her foot in rage upon hearing this. She said to Alan, “Will you please make some normal friends? You should stay away from Wyvern Peak’s members. Don’t associate with them because it’s not good for you!”

Elaine did not have a favorable impression of Wyvern Peak because she was born into Cook house. She heard from her grandfather that Wyvern Peak was their enemy. Hence, she had always felt unsettled about Alan’s identity as a soldier of Wyvern Peak.

She wanted Alan to distance himself from Wyvern Peak.

Alan did not mind Elaine’s remark and answered casually, “We’re just going for some drinks. I’ll be going now!”

He headed downstairs upon saying that.

Elaine heaved a sigh. However, she could not rest easy knowing that Alan w

    Blaze shook his head and said, “I’m not looking to borrow money this time. I have something else to talk to you about.”Alan said, “Go ahead, bud. We fought side-by-side in wars, so I’ll take care of anything for you in Windton.”“The legate is here,” said Blaze.Alan was instantly stunned. He looked at Blaze and said, “What did you say?”Blaze repeated, “War Legate Draco is here.”Upon hearing this, Alan inhaled a deep breath, put down his glass, and patted his forehead. He said, “When did he get here? Why am I unaware of this matter?”“No one knows. He came to me directly. Mya’s here too.”“What for?” asked Alan.Blaze took a sip of his drink, tutted, and said, “You know. He’s here for the ten houses because that’s the only way to overthrow Chase. I understand that you may have trouble accepting this as your family will fall too if Chase is eliminated.”Alan took a couple of swigs of his drink before he put down his glass. He appeared to be frustrated. After a long time, he

She was about to berate Adrian but was stunned as soon as she laid eyes on him. She felt her heart jump out of her chest.‘He’s… He’s so handsome!’ Elaine thought to herself, her mind running wild.“Are you all right?” Adrian asked Elaine.Elaine was head over heels.

As a result, she had not caught a word of what Adrian said.Adrian did not c

    Alan and Blaze ended their meetup at eleven o’clock and returned to their homes.Alan returned to the living room of his house, finding Elaine in her pajamas. She was lying on the sofa and staring at her phone screen with one hand propping her chin up. She looked like she was imagining something.Upon noticing the situation, Alan said in puzzlement, “What the heck is going on with you, Elaine? Who’s on the phone? Show it to me!”Alan reached out to snatch Elaine’s phone. She hastily put it away and said, “I won’t tell. Where were you today? I looked everywhere for you.”“I told you that I was meeting a friend for a drink. Let’s not divert the topic of conversation here. I saw a man on your phone’s screen. Who is that? Your boyfriend?” asked Alan.Elaine blushed scarlet as she said shyly, “He’s my crush, and I won’t tell you!”Alan glared at his sister and inquired further in a displeased tone, “You should use me as a standard when it comes to choosing a boyfriend. Look at my abs.

    Elaine’s gaze turned stern. Her eyes exuded a wisp of murderous intent despite her feminine appearance.Alan was shocked upon hearing this. He quickly tried to dissuade her. “Elaine, what nonsense are you talking about? Don’t act rashly. How could you possibly kill him?”“Go away!” Elaine said, glaring at Alan, “We have plenty of exceptional people in our family. If one of us can’t kill him, a hundred of us should be up to the job, right?”As she spoke, Elaine shoved Alan away and ran downstairs.“Elaine!” Alan shouted.By the time Alan got up to chase after Elaine, she had already vanished from the yard. He slapped himself and hastily pulled out his phone to call Blaze.“Hey, my sister knows about it and claims she’s going to kill the legate. I had a slip of the tongue. F*ck!”“Figure out a way to stop her from getting into trouble, quick!” Blaze’s anxiously said from the other end of the line.Alan hung up the call and quickly headed downstairs.Elaine had a rather respectab

    “Alas, I still have to kill you though I have a crush on you. You’ll get my family into deep trouble if I don’t.”Elaine frowned deeply. Despite her words, she was having a hard time looking away from Adrian’s face. She swore that this was the most handsome man ever despite all the others she had met in her life.Adrian smiled all of a sudden. And his smile triggered her anger once again.Elaine said, “Why are you smiling? How can you still smile when you’re on the brink of death?”“Alright then.” Adrian shook his head. “Ms. Elaine, I understand how you feel and your thought process. However, do you know that you’ll die just by showing up here today?”“What are you talking about?” Elaine felt her heart race.“I’m going to kill you if you fail to kill me. Are you scared?” asked Adrian rhetorically.Upon saying that, he unleashed a powerful murderous intent.Elaine felt the domineering aura radiating from Adrian’s body. It felt as if it could penetrate the core of the earth, and

    Elaine felt as if time had stopped.Her survival would be determined at this very moment.Elaine never expected her dream man to be willing to kill a woman. She thought about many things at this crucial juncture of her life. Staring at Adrian, her face covered in tears, she looked extremely aggrieved.But at this very moment, a voice suddenly said, “Please calm down, sir! My sister didn’t know any better. Please spare her!”As the voice faded, Alan ran over from a distance and bowed before Adrian. He bowed repeatedly.Adrian asked in puzzlement upon seeing Alan, “Who are you?”Alan raised his head and said in a panicked tone, “I’m a subordinate of Wyvern Peak’s Battle Warrior Caine, sir. My name is Alan Cook, and my moniker is Scorpio. My sister didn’t know any better and offended you. Please spare her on the account that I’m a member of Wyvern Peak, sir!”Adrian hesitated for a brief moment upon hearing this. Then, he loosened his grip over Elaine’s throat.Elaine fell to the

    After a while, Adrian said, “You’re members of the Cook family and a part of the ten houses. I won’t tell you much just because you’re a member of Wyvern Peak. I sent Blaze to meet you because I hope that you can understand why Wyvern Peak is doing everything that it is doing.”“I understand! I understand!” Alan nodded hastily.Elaine said while crying, “What do you understand? It’d be great if Wyvern Peak would just follow Internal Affairs’ management, right? Why do you have to insist on overthrowing Internal Affairs? At the end of the day, you’re just trying to solicit advantages from this!”“Shut your mouth!” Alan roared.Elaine wiped her tears.Upon noticing the situation, Blaze hastily said, “Elaine, the situation is not as simple as you imagine. This is because your vision is limited, and you can’t see the future. However, the legate can.”“His so-called future is built upon others’ corpses. If Wyvern Peak and Internal Affairs were to have a fallout, it’s the common people

    Elaine was stunned.This was the first time her brother had lost his temper at her like this, and she was at a loss for what to do.This choice could prove fatal to Alan.***Adrian was still walking down a street in Windton when Blaze already caught up to him and said, “Sir, Alan is in a difficult position. He has his family on one side and his comrades on the other. It won’t be easy for him to make a choice.”Adrian knew this, However, he would not make a decision based on one person when Wyvern Peak’s safety was involved.“How are things with Mya?” asked Adrian.Blaze nodded and said, “She has already gathered all the comrades living in Windton. There are a total of five thousand and two hundred people currently gathered in a yard outside of the city. Everyone’s already there.”“Let’s head over,” said Adrian.“Yes, sir.”Upon saying that, Blaze acquired a car and, along with Adrian, drove to the edge of the city.There were more than five thousand Wyvern Peak’s soldiers i

    Adrian's face hardened at the words. He despised threats above all else.

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.

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.

    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.

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.

Any attempt to bypass its unseen barriers would provoke a devastating strike."Ridiculous," Adrian muttered.
