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 Return of the War Legate Chapter 80
On the contrary, it added a tinge of rusticness to her demeanor.After hanging up the call, Samantha said to Adrian, “Adrian, speak as little as you can when we’re at the wedding. I have many friends attending the wedding and they will target you if you talk.”Adrian nodded. He was aware of Cassey’s goal, of course, but he did not comment further.Samantha sped off to Swallowston Hotel where Cassey was getting married to Mario today.***As Samantha and Adrian headed to the hotel to attend Cassey’s wedding, the Cowells were at Bailar.Violet immediately called for an important meeting with Bailar’s staff members in the boardroom that morning. The managers of Bailar’s major departments and the Cowells were in attendance.During the meeting, Violet fired almost all the managers and assigned her family members to these posts. She fired Samantha’s assistant, Nina, too.There was a reshuffling in Bailar’s organization and the Cowells were promoted to top-level positions.At this ex

Nine Kings was a distinguished company in Swallowston that was considered one of the tops.The Cowells drove to Nine Kings in three separate cars and were beyond excited. After all, Liam was an influential person in Swallowston so it was a massive event for the Cowells to meet him.“Hahaha, Liam will treat us to the finest drinks for sure! Our family is truly impressive.” Francis could not refrain from chuckling in excitement as he sat in the car. He was convinced that Liam would feel more secure in the contract they signed with Bailar now that the Cowells had taken over.Clara said, “Francis is right. Liam will surely treat us with courtesy now that our status is different.”Next to her, Clara’s boyfriend, Simon smiled. “I heard talks about Liam. He’s fond of working with capable people.“On a side note, he nominated my family, the Blacks, as being capable in the past. He’ll certainly be very excited to host me today and to know that the Cowells and Blacks are working together.”

Meanwhile, Liam was busy going over documents in his office when the phone on his table rang.His secretary, June, walked into the room and answered the call on his behalf. “Hello, this is the office of Liam Starr.“What did you say? Why did they hit you?“All right. Don’t cry. Send them up and go get yourself checked at a hospital.”“Okay.” After hanging up the call, the receptionist wiped away her tears and said in a hoarse voice, “The director has given permission for you to head upstairs.”The Cowells beamed upon hearing this, and Violet walked straight into the elevator.Francis cussed the receptionist in a malicious tone, “F*ck. Would I have hit you if you had just done that from the start?”As he spoke, he joined Violet in heading upstairs.In Liam’s office, June put the phone back in the receiver and reported, “Mr. Liam, there are some people from the Cowell Group who want to meet you. They slapped our receptionist downstairs earlier.”“The Cowell Group?” Liam was puzz

Soon, the sound of someone knocking on a door echoed. The Cowells had arrived.“Come in,” said June.The door opened. Violet walked into the office, cane in hand and in the lead of the other Cowells.Every member of the Cowells appeared spirited and elated.Violet said, “It’s been a long time since we last met, Liam.”Violet was acquainted with Liam as he used to be a nobody in the past and used to work for Channing.Following Violet’s opening remark, the rest of the Cowells introduced themselves.“Hello, Mr. Liam. My name is Nathan Cowell.”“I’m Hugo Cowell.”“Hello, Mr. Liam. My name is Francis Cowell. Hugo is my father,” said Francis.“Greetings, Mr. Liam. I’m Simon Black from the Black family,” said Simon.“Mr. Liam. I’m Simon’s fiancee,” said Clara.Liam was rather astounded by the Cowells’ slew of self-introduction. In his opinion, it was unnecessary for him to get acquainted with all these people.The Cowells were expecting Liam to show them the courtesy by offering
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 84
Yet, this was his first time encountering people who indulged in such a high degree of self-glorification.The Cowells were useless and yet were completely unaware of it. They even described themselves as if they were exceptional.Liam could tell from the Cowells’ words that all of them combined would be inferior to Samantha. She was the most outstanding of Channing’s grandchildren.Meanwhile, June prepared a cup of coffee for Liam. He took a sip and said, “So, you’re all here to tell me that you’ve kicked Samantha out of Bailar and the company belongs to you now?”“That’s right.” Violet nodded. “Samantha isn’t capable of managing such a huge business. She’s the worst of all my grandchildren.”Clara, Francis, and the others expressed their pride when Violet praised them.However, Liam said, “Violet, if Samantha is useless, why did Bailar suddenly make enormous progress two years ago? In fact, under her management, the company is on the verge of becoming a listed company.“Afterw

The Cowells blushed in shame as they were confronted by Liam’s unexpected inquiry.Violet’s face was scarlet in color. She claimed that Samantha had failed to pay back the money she owed and had pledged her company. Yet now, Liam had exposed her lie.Francis, Clara, and the others expressed their embarrassment too.Noticing that the Cowells had gone quiet, Liam smiled and said, “Judging by your expressions, I believe that I’m right about this.“Madam Violet, I’m not trying to criticize you. Mr. Channing has plenty of grandchildren, but the vast majority of them are useless. Samantha is the only Cowell who inherited Channing’s capabilities.”Liam shook his head. Any person with discerning eyes could see this.Violet was displeased by Liam’s remark and said, “Liam, this is our family’s private affair. Why are you meddling with other’s family affairs? Which one of my grandchildren is less capable than Samantha?”Francis said, “She’s right. Any of us is far more capable than her. To
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 86
Immediately following Liam’s orders, someone went up to slap Francis in the face, leaving the latter with a deep bruise.The Cowells were shocked, while Francis began to tear up like a child. In a panic, he said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Liam! Please forgive me!”Liam ignored his pleas and had his subordinate slap Francis another nineteen more times, creating an even bigger bruise on his face.“Get them out of here.”“We’ll give you ten seconds to get out of here. Otherwise, we’ll throw you out,” one of the bodyguards warned.None of the Cowells dared to stay any longer. All of them rushed out of Liam’s office immediately. Never did it cross their minds that something like this would happen. Even Violet herself was left speechless.At first, they were confident that they had become very important people. Alas, Nine Kings proved them wrong by terminating the contract with Bailar.Right at that moment, Violet received two phone calls—both from the newly-appointed management staff she had p

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

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
