Samantha smiled and said, "Of course I am. Do I look like I'm lying to you? You're Adrian's biggest regret in life. Now that you're back, he doesn’t want to feel that regret again. Or are you saying you don't want to stay with us?"

Gloria shook her head repeatedly and looked at Adrian, who was still playing with Nova, staying out of the conversation. She awkwardly said, "I think you've misunderstood, Sam. I came here only because I wanted to see you. I wasn't planning on taking Adrian away from you. He's your man, and nothing will ever change that, including me. I wouldn't—"

"Can you just stand by and watch him be with another woman after you sacrificed yourself for him out of love?" Samantha interrupted, "I asked Jojo and Nadine to stay out of the house because I wanted to talk to you about this. Stay here and live with us. Adrian belongs to both of us. Okay?"

Samantha held Gloria's hand, her eyes filled with hope. Perhaps keeping Gloria by their side was the only thing Samantha th

    Gloria and Samantha exchanged glances.Rue then said, "Okay, now that that's settled, hurry up and get prepared to eat!"She had prepared a scrumptious lunch for them, specially made for Gloria.This was Gloria's first time having a meal with Adrian's family, and although she seemed shy, she was also hopeful for what was about to happen.After lunch, Samantha carried Nova in her arms and brought Gloria to her room.There seemed to be a complex relationship between the two women despite it being their first meeting. Samantha wanted to help Gloria get used to living with them as soon as possible, which was why Nova became a very important conversation starter for them.In the room, Samantha changed Nova's diapers while Gloria helped on the side. The two of them spent the whole afternoon in the room, talking about a lot of stuff.While Samantha and Gloria were having a heart-to-heart in the room, Adrian left the villa in his car.Swallowston had also undergone significant changes.

    Inside the company office, Riley, dressed in her CEO uniform, was discussing work with Reiss."Huh?!"Reiss and Riley seemed visibly puzzled when they saw Adrian."Now this isn't someone you see every day. What brings you here, War Legate Draco?" Reiss jokingly asked.Riley said, "Did you just get back from your trip? Have you been home to see your daughter? I've already gone to see her. She resembles you a little."Adrian replied, "I've got so much free time on my hands that I'm seriously bored, so I thought I'd stop by to visit.""Please have a seat." Riley and Reiss walked out from behind the desk and gestured.Reiss quickly got up to prepare some coffee, while Riley and Adrian sat down on the sofa.Riley asked, "What's up? You must be really busy, so I doubt you've come here just for a cup of coffee."Adrian got straight to the point and said, "Have you visited your father and uncles in prison?"Leonard, Wilfred, and the rest of the family had been sent to prison for abou

    After leaving the Xander Group, Adrian paid a visit to Mandy, Danton, and a few other wealthy businessmen in Swallowston. After that, he went to the battle warrior department, which Internal Affairs no longer restricted at every corner.The newly-appointed manager of Swallowston's battle warrior department was Derrick Winslow. He used to be one of the management staff at Wyvern Peak and has now been transferred to Swallowston after Crystal's ascension. Aside from that, there were a few new faces there, including Ivy, Eira, Nyssa, Emily, and others.After Crystal became the monarch and Novemton was rebuilt, Eira and the others joined Swallowston's battle warrior department, assigned to their own positions as Swallowston's law enforcers. Ivy was assigned as a captain, leading all of the law enforcers in Swallowston and deploying strategies to avoid danger.Adrian had not expected this to happen, and he knew that this was definitely the best career for Ivy and the others.***When Ad

    Ivy giggled. "They curse you and your entire family every single night! Okay, I'm kidding. I've never seen them so happy. Every day is like a fresh start for us. Now that we've got this job, we feel incredibly happy whenever we catch a criminal" she said."Congratulations on finally reclaiming your lives," Adrian said sincerely.Ivy smiled. "Congratulations to you too. We've met your daughter, and she's a really cute one. You may become history in the future, but me and my sisters will always work hard for Swallowston's sake. We'll make sure there are no more criminals in this city. This job is now our dream, and we've never been happier. In fact, a few of us have even gotten into romantic relationships," she said as she chuckled.Adrian, on the other hand, was slightly stunned. 'They're in relationships?'He clicked his tongue and said, "You ladies sure move fast. I'm surprised you've managed to find boyfriends that quickly. Tell me, who are the ones in love right now?"Ivy ponde

    It was at that moment Ivy finally understood why Adrian wanted to leave Wyvern Peak.'I see… His body's no longer as strong as it used to be.'She looked at the man in front of her in astonishment and suddenly realized just how great of a man he was. Adrian has spent up his entire prime for Wyvern Peak's sake, for Navia's sake. When his body was beginning to deteriorate, he chose to give up all of his glory and future in Wyvern Peak, Navia even, and retired without a second thought.There were very few men who were able to do such a thing willingly.'Adrian's definitely capable of continuing to be the legate. In fact, he could've taken over Crystal's place and ruled over the entire world. Yet, he didn't do it.'For some reason, Ivy suddenly felt like crying. She bowed to Adrian to show him how much she respected him."All right, seeing you all living your lives so happily means I've fulfilled my promise to you all. I'll be leaving now." Having no intention to stay much longer, Ad

    "It's an inevitable fight," Adrian replied as he nodded.Gloria continued, "We’d be at a disadvantage if they team up during the fight. If we look at the entire situation, they’ll probably try to stop our men out at sea, effectively making it a naval battle."Adrian pondered for a moment.Meanwhile, Samantha curiously asked, "I thought the purpose of this expedition was to defend Isle 416 so that our scientists, doctors, and research groups can conduct their field investigation. What will happen if they’re surrounded by enemies?"Adrian twitched his lips. "If I were in their shoes, I’d start a fight after Wyvern Peak has entered the island. Over the years, countless people have sent men to Isle 416, but they'd all be killed by the worms. So, they're going to study whether our men can survive on the island or not. In other words, they won't attack until they're sure about what's happening.""If they attack us on the island, the environment could be used to our advantage. However, y

    Gloria and Samantha got up and headed toward the kitchen to help Rue set up the table. After that, the entire family sat down for dinner.***Late that night, Gloria and Samantha headed back to their room to take care of Nova. Adrian went up to the rooftop garden alone. There, he made a phone call to Novemton's headquarters to request for Leonard, Wilfred, Jacob, Cedric, and all of his other imprisoned relatives to be released.Ever since both families were thrown into prison, Harold retreated back to his hometown, and his health was deteriorating by the day. Although Adrian had an entire series of grudges against them, they were not enough for him to kill them. After all, they were all a part of the Xander family.Initially, he thought about releasing Clara, Samantha's cousin, too. However, she was the one who murdered Simon, and Danton would surely object to her release. Thus, he did not even consider releasing the murderer.The phone call soon reached Novemton's headquarters, w

    Samantha said, “Also, even if you’re not doing this for them, think about your grandfather. His health is deteriorating by the day and he’s aging. You can’t take care of him so someone else has to care for him. I’m just going to say this bluntly. If he were to pass away someday, he wouldn't have even one of his children by his side.”Adrian cracked a heartfelt smile and stretched out his hand to caress Samantha’s face upon hearing her educated and reasonable remark.Samantha rolled her eyes at Adrian in a gentle manner. “You can finally move on from the burden in your mind now, right? Gloria and I have already discussed and agreed that we won’t make things difficult for you. Where else are you ever going to find a good wife like me?”“Thank you, Sam,” Adrian said, “Gloria doesn’t have any other choice, and I don’t want to abandon her.”Samantha answered with an “mm-hm” and replied, “Yes, my war legate. I understand what you mean. All right, let’s not talk about this anymore. Do you

    Adrian was blatantly threatening her. It was clear he would subject her to torment and death if she didn’t agree to his terms. How could such a person be described as reasonable?Renee gritted her teeth, wishing she could punch Adrian and show him her strength.Adrian simply looked at her calmly. “There’s no need to resent me. I’m actually quite agreeable. When things can be resolved, I try to resolve them. As for you, rest assured. During your month of servitude, I won’t make you serve in vain. You’re the princess of Ciawales, correct? It just so happens I have some free time. Let’s head there together.“Also, tell me about the customs and cultures of this world. I’ve been in secluded training for many years and have forgotten much about the outside world,” he lied.Renee was taken aback. Adrian didn’t look much older than her, so how could he be some kind of reclusive expert? His words only left her more puzzled.“How am I supposed to introduce it? Are you not from this world?”

    Was Adrian looking for praise? Renee couldn’t help but feel a bit exasperated. She wasn’t sure what Adrian was trying to convey. All his words seemed to point to one thing—that he was her savior, and now she owed him her obedience.To Renee, this was a difficult pill to swallow. After all, she was a princess, and Adrian’s implication was that she should lower herself to him. But under the current circumstances, she had no choice but to bow her head.Though she felt deeply unwilling, Renee could only grit her teeth and respond calmly, “Yes, you saved me. I’m deeply grateful. I promise to repay your kindness when I get the chance.” She locked eyes with Adrian, waiting for his reaction. If Adrian wasn’t satisfied, she truly didn’t know what to do. The valuable items she possessed were limited, consisting mostly of a few life-saving treasures. Beyond that, there wasn’t much on her that was of worth.Adrian, however, narrowed his eyes and said sharply, “Just a few words of thanks? Do y

    "Spare me! Otherwise, Divine Reaper won’t let you go!" the leader shouted, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Adrian.The man looked terrifying, exuding a powerful aura. He was using a secret technique, hoping to escape. But with a casual wave of his hand, Adrian created a barrier that blocked the man’s path.Renee, watching from below, was stunned. Divine Reaper… They were the most feared assassin organization in the Spirit Domain, known for their stealthy and deadly methods that instilled fear in everyone.There was a saying across the Spirit Domain: if Divine Reaper marked someone for death, nine out of ten targets would die. If someone survived, it was because they were of an extraordinary and untouchable status. Clearly, her status as the princess of Ciawales wasn’t extraordinary enough to make her exempt from such threats.Adrian smiled and said, “Nice name, but you’ve offended the wrong person. You deserve to die.” He swung his Soul Devouring Sword.A wave of power surged forth, a

    "I can't believe it! Is this guy really that terrifying? Can we truly not defeat him?" the leader muttered. He gripped a curved blade, which now glowed with a blood-red light.The others around him also had cold glints in their eyes. They were not about to admit defeat easily. Although Adrian was powerful, they weren’t willing to give up without a fight. Adrian had only been killing intermediary Nascents. He hadn’t even touched the advanced ones yet. Most importantly, their leader was at the peak of the Nascent Stage, making him an incredibly strong and fearsome opponent. This alone was enough to show that their leader had the strength to go toe-to-toe with Adrian. They were confident that Adrian couldn’t defeat their boss, especially with them assisting.Boom, boom, boom!A terrifying shockwave tore through the heavens, leaving the surroundings trembling violently. Adrian’s gaze was sharp, filled with an intense killing intent.“Die!” he shouted.Bam!The leader was struck har

    Moreover, the strength Adrian displayed was so overwhelming that it left everyone in disbelief. After all, in the Spirit Realm, the physical body of any immortal was supposed to be relatively fragile, and having a powerful physical body was impossible.The group couldn't quite accept the fact that Adrian was out of their league. Yet, no matter how they tried to make sense of it, it seemed like nothing could change the reality of the situation. One of the black-clad men sneered. "Perhaps this kid's physical strength is enhanced by some kind of secret treasure. Once we kill him and take the treasure, we’ll boost our own power." His words were intended to rally the group as if trying to inspire them to believe they were on the verge of victory. Adrian merely smiled coldly upon hearing this. With a murderous gleam in his eyes, his voice turned cold as he said, "Since you're all so determined to meet your end, don't blame me."Adrian threw another punch, and this time, it was a force

    The group's formation suddenly began to shatter. The white light radiated by the formation continued to whip up the surrounding yellow sand."How is this possible?" one of the men gasped in disbelief. This was a powerful barrier set up by several experts in the late Divine Stage, yet it had been destroyed so easily.The leader of the black-clad men sneered. "Hmph! It's just the formation being broken. Most likely it was pure luck for this guy. Don’t be afraid of him."His words caused the others to pause. While his words were meant to reassure them, the reality of the situation was far from simple. It was impossible for them to defeat Adrian, who was proving to be much stronger than anticipated? After all, Adrian’s strength had clearly surpassed that of a typical Divine immortal. Even if he were in the Divine Stage, he had undoubtedly reached the peak. Breaking the formation with ease was impossible unless one was at that level."It's just a bluff," the leader of the black-clad m

    Renee felt a sense of helplessness within. As a princess of Ciawales, she was now left pondering a difficult question.Adrian was unaware of Renee’s thoughts. If he had known that Renee was considering fleeing while he was risking his life, he would not have helped her.As the onslaught of attacks descended upon him, Adrian leaped swiftly into the air. The attacks from the black-clad men crashed into him, but Adrian remained unscathed. This caused the group of attackers to freeze in disbelief."What’s going on?" they muttered in shock as they stared at Adrian, who appeared as agile as a panther.At the moment when Adrian leaped into the air, it seemed as though nothing could stop him. His expression remained calm and nonchalant in the face of their attacks."Is this all you’ve got? You’re really that weak. Feel free to unleash everything you’ve got. Don’t hold back," Adrian said, his tone laced with disdain.The black-clad group was stunned by Adrian’s arrogance. Even Renee stood

    Adrian smiled as he replied, "Is that so? Well, it seems you're just unlucky. The moment you encountered me, your fate was already sealed."His simple words were filled with provocation, meant to make the group before him admit their defeat. If they didn't, Adrian was determined to make them regret it.The leader of the black-clad men sneered and stepped forward. "How laughable. This is the first time I’ve encountered such an arrogant brat. Do you really think you're some kind of unparalleled genius? I see your strength is only at the Divine Stage. While I can’t quite tell your true level, you shouldn’t be so cocky. Even with your strength, we can overwhelm you with numbers and wear you down. You really don't know when to quit. Now, I’ve changed my mind. Kneel before us, and we’ll spare you."As the leader was talking, his curved blade gleamed with a faint light. The light from the blade seemed to radiate with a dangerous brilliance, causing Adrian’s expression to momentarily shift

    "No matter who he is, he's no match for us. I advise you to surrender quietly, Renee," one of the black-clad men said.Clinging to the last flicker of hope, Renee was not willing to give up. She charged toward the barrier, unleashing an attack as she did. The strike hit the barrier, and it trembled violently.At that moment, Adrian’s eyes snapped open. Seeing the situation before him, his expression grew cold.Renee continued her wild assault. As her eyes met Adrian’s, an unexpected surge of panic overtook her.The black-clad pursuers were furious. “Hey, kid up ahead! I suggest you mind your own business. This woman belongs to us. If you want to stay alive, leave now."The voice of the black-clad man was booming, and the sound of it echoed through the desert, proving that these pursuers were no ordinary threat.Adrian’s expression turned even colder. He had no intention of getting involved, but when the others spoke so recklessly, he couldn’t just ignore it. As he slowly rose to
