The Return of the War Legate Chapter 85
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

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

Samantha had prepared a small gift for Cassey that was worth about three hundred dollars.The gift was considered to be a very significant one, especially when Samantha’s financial status was below standards.Cassey simply smiled and said, “You didn’t have to prepare me a gift. I’m happy enough that you’re here.”Cassey accepted the gift and passed it to Mario. “This is a gift from Sam, Mario. Could you please take care of it for me?”Mario smiled and hurled the gift into the trash bin without even looking at its contents, leaving Samantha stunned.She thought Cassey would come up with all sorts of ways to try and gain her attention, so she had not expected Mario to throw away her gift so casually.Next to her, Adrian was frowning away. He already knew that Mario was a downright *sshole the moment he threw their gift away.Cassey pulled at Samantha’s hand and said, “Come on. Let’s go inside. All of our classmates are already here.”Samantha allowed Cassey to pull her along with

Seeing Samantha frown, Cassey said, “Come on. Can’t you show Sam a modicum of respect, Dickson? Go take your seats, everyone.”And with that, everyone took their seats.Samantha remained silent the whole time and was just about to find a place to sit when Mario suddenly walked over and announced, “Everyone, there are some rules to your seating arrangements today. I had a few tables prepared for our former classmates who are doing quite well, you see.“Those with a net worth of a hundred and fifty thousand dollars will sit here while those with seventy thousand dollars or below will sit on the other table over there.“As for the poor peasants, well… They’ll have to sit at the table by the corner.”Mario pointed at a table in the corner of the hall, which was not only really small but also extremely short. It was no more than a few inches tall. Anyone who sat there would still find it too short even if they were to sit on the floor.Many of their former classmates began laughing ou
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 89
Everyone was left flabbergasted by Adrian’s statement while Dickson and Mario looked at each other.Samantha too looked at Adrian in confusion, not understanding what he had just said.Everyone took a moment to process his words, and what followed was a huge round of laughter. They laughed so hard that they started tearing up.Mario even pointed at Adrian while laughing and said, “Hahaha! Did he just call us all poor little sh*ts? Does he have a few screws loose? How could we possibly be poor when we’ve got so much wealth?”“Bzzt, bzzt, bzzt…!”Mario’s phone instantly started ringing after he said that.Cassey said, “Your phone’s ringing, Mario.”With a nod, Mario fished it. He felt curious when he saw who it was. “It’s my father… Isn’t he here welcoming his friends and family?”“He must be looking for you for something important,” Cassey said.Mario knew something important had indeed happened, so he answered and said, “Yes, Father? Why are you—”“Where are you, you little r
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 90
Meanwhile, Cassey stood frozen to the spot as she watched her friends and relatives leave the venue.Dickson and the others were all shocked, still unable to apprehend what had just happened.This included Samantha, who looked at Adrian for a while before turning to look at Cassey.At that moment, Dickson let out a sigh and shook his head. “I’m sure Mario has somehow offended a very important person due to his arrogance. It caused the Pykes to go bankrupt.“I, on the other hand, am quite confident in my good character, so I’m safe.”Hearing this, Adrian smiled and said, “You seem really confident in yourself, Dickson. However, I’m willing to bet you’re going to end up exactly like Mario in less than a minute. Your father will be calling you very soon too.”“Hahaha!” Dickson let off a hearty laugh. “Do you think you’re the one who caused the Pykes to go bankrupt? You just got f*cking lucky back there. You dare to say my father will call me?”Dickson was filled with endless confid
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 91
None of them were able to utter a single word.Just a moment ago, they were all boasting about how they had a net worth of either a hundred and fifty thousand dollars or even seventy thousand dollars. But now, both Mario and Dickson had been plunged into bankruptcy.Most importantly, Cassey’s wedding had to be canceled since the Pykes could not afford to pay the hotel for their wedding.The entire place fell into an awkward silence as every single one of Samantha’s former classmates’ faces turned red. This was especially true for Cassey, who could only look at Adrian like a fool.Amidst their silence, Adrian slowly sat on the sofa and said, “Does anyone else have a net worth of a hundred and fifty thousand dollars? Hmm?”Everyone felt a chill run down their spine, not daring to utter a single word.Adrian found this laughable and continued, “You guys were all flaunting your wealth earlier, so why the sudden silence? Are you all chickening out already? Where did all that gusto go?
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 92
At that moment, one of the former classmates said, “Come on, guys. Let’s go.”A few of them who were ashamed of themselves got up and left, afraid that Adrian might end up doing the same to them. Soon, all of them had left, including Cassey.The main hall was completely empty, leaving only the couple inside.Adrian passed the glass of milk to Samantha with a smile on his face and said, “Finally, some peace and quiet. Have a drink. We’ll leave after we’re done with our food.”Samantha accepted the glass and placed it on the table.“What just happened, Adrian? Why have Mario and Dickson gone bankrupt? How could you possibly know they were going to go bankrupt within such a short time? Did you cause all that?“Also, look at these dishes you’ve ordered! How are we supposed to pay for them?”Samantha’s mind was filled with all sorts of questions.‘Forget Mario and Dickson, how are we supposed to pay for this table of food? I’m sure it’ll cost us at least twenty thousand dollars. The

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
