Adrian left in the company of Marie. He planned on taking a stroll around the farmstead.Benson and Riley stood opposite each other.Benson’s heart was racing ever so slightly after hearing Adrian’s remark earlier. He quietly looked at the woman standing before him and felt all the memories of their time from their university days fill his mind.Benson was at a loss for words under the circumstances. After all, it was he who had broken up with Riley in the past. He was rather reserved upon meeting the love of his life once again.Riley looked at Benson quietly as well. They looked at each other in this manner for a while. The people in the surroundings began to discuss softly.“I recall you being a good talker. Why aren’t you saying upon meeting me? I remember you being very talkative when you were pursuing me,” Riley said as she looked at Benson.Benson chuckled awkwardly and hastily said, “Please come in, Riley.”Riley did not comment further and strode into the estate.Benso

Benson forced a faint smile. “I was like that too. In the beginning, I wasn’t so determined to execute my idea, until I met War Legate Draco in Azure Creek by sheer luck. I saw that he had become the leader of Wyvern Peak at such a young age, so when I got back, I set him as my role model to work hard until I achieve my current accomplishments.”Riley said, “I congratulate you for finally achieving your dream.”Benson did not know how to answer this and the air turned awkward again. After a long time, Riley broke the ice by saying, “Benson, I’m here today because of Adrian’s arrangement. He wants me to make up for my regrets.”Benson raised his head and looked at Riley.“I brought you to meet my family five years ago, and my parents, grandfather, and uncle humiliated you. We had no choice but to part ways because of that incident. I never got the chance to apologize to you, and I’ve kept this hidden in my heart for five years. I’m here to see you mainly because I want to apologize

“Awesome! I’ll go look for him right now!”Seeing Riley nod, Benson was overwhelmed with excitement and instantly ran outside. She hastily called out, “Hey!”Riley went chasing after him.***On the estate’s farm, Adrian and Marie were strolling around. As a local of Mount Sol, the eighteen-year-old Marie had been helping Benson out since she was a child and was very familiar with the place. She served as a guide and explained everything to Adrian whenever they strolled through an area.They soon arrived at an orchard. It was coincidentally harvest season now, and there were numerous staff members harvesting fresh fruits in the orchard. Marie led Adrian inside to gaze at the dense growth of fruits on the trees. The scene uplifted one’s mood.Marie explained, “This is the fruit orchard where we’ve planted several dozen types of fruits including apples, pears, dates, and many others. This is the largest orchard in our farmstead, and it’s apple harvest season right now. The apples g

Marie laughed when she heard this, covering her mouth with her hand. She looked at Adrian with sincere eyes, and her adorable and charming appearance made her even more admirable. She was a simple and beautiful girl with a great figure and fair skin. Though she had no makeup on, she was naturally beautiful from head to toe.Adrian smiled along with her when he saw how happy she looked.Marie suddenly asked, "Are you really War Legate Draco?"Adrian paused for a moment and asked, "What's the matter? Have you met a fake one?"Shaking her head, Marie pouted and said, "No, I didn't mean that. It's just that you're a little different from how I imagined you to be. You're so young and so handsome...""Have you never seen me on television before?" Adrian asked."I don't watch TV because I'm busy on the farm every day. I don't have time. And when I do have some free time, I prefer to spend it in the city shopping for new clothes. So, I've never paid much attention to what's going on with
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 927
Marie shut her eyes to enjoy Adrian stroking her hair for a while. When she opened her eyes, she giggled. "Can I call you my big brother?"Adrian nodded. "Of course, you can."Marie excitedly stood up and patted the soil off her. Giggling even more, she said, "From the TV shows I watched, brothers always give their little sisters presents. So, what are you planning to give me, Big Brother?"Adrian was slightly startled. "I thought you said you don’t watch TV."Marie stuck out her tongue. "I meant I don't watch military news. I love watching dramas, the ones that have fiery romance and lots of excitement."Inside the heart of every girl was the longing desire to be in a relationship that was passionate and filled with love—a fantasy life, per se.Adrian laughed. He then slipped off a ring from his finger, took Marie's hand, and put it around her middle finger.Confused, Marie asked, "What's this? Is this an engagement ring? Are you proposing to me?""Silly girl, engagement rings

"Why were you running so quickly, Benson? Are you in a hurry to be somewhere?" Riley finally caught up and bent over to catch her breath.Adrian and Marie exchanged looks once more, both wondering what the pair was up to.After taking a few more moments to catch his breath, Benson stood up straight and said, "Sir, I'd like Riley’s hand in marriage, and I'd like to have your blessing."Adrian shot a glance at Riley, who put her arms in the air.Next to them, Marie looked at Riley and asked, "Are you the one who hurt Benson five years ago? You used to look down on him, and you come back now when he's rich?"Riley was suddenly pegged as a heinous woman out of nowhere, but just as she was about to explain herself, Benson quickly said, "Don't say that, Marie. It’d be my greatest joy to have Riley as my wife.” He then looked toward Adrian."You wish to become my brother-in-law?" Adrian asked.Benson nodded and sounded nervous as he said, "I'm in love with Riley, and I haven't been abl
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 929
A wave of absolute happiness washed over Benson and Riley.***Meanwhile, Adrian and Marie arrived at a farm. There were all kinds of herbs planted across the fields, which went all the way up the mountains, a gentle breeze blowing through like spring.She began to introduce the herbs scattered across the field, their uses, and their benefits. Despite being just eighteen, Marie knew a whole lot about medicinal herbs. Just as she was introducing another herb, Adrian cut her off."How's Mr. Benson's health lately?"Marie was stunned for a moment, unsure why Adrian would suddenly ask about Benson's health. 'Maybe he's asking because he's worried about Riley.'At that thought, she replied, "Mr. Benson has always been in good health, Big Brother. There's nothing to worry about.""Little girls shouldn't lie," Adrian chided, leaving Marie slightly dumbfounded.'Looks like he noticed something.'Marie’s lips twitched as she revealed, "Okay, he had a couple of instances of upset stomac

"I sensed the air of death from him the moment I saw him.""What…" Marie was stunned.Adrian turned around to look at her. "It's getting late. I should head back now. You should find time to take him to the hospital, okay?" He took off and headed to the manor after that, while Marie continued to look at him in a daze.Soon, Adrian arrived at the manor where Benson had prepared lunch and was waiting for him to arrive. "What do you think, sir? Is Mount Sol to your liking?" he asked with a smile when he saw Adrian walking in."Absolutely befitting of Navia's best place to be at!" Adrian complimented.Benson laughed and gestured. "I feel like everything we've worked for has been worth it because of your compliment. Lunch is ready. Right this way—""It's all right. I need to head back now," Adrian interrupted."Huh? Aren’t you going to stay for lunch after coming all the way here?" Benson was slightly disappointed at the unexpected turn of events.Riley walked in as well and said, "

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
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 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
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
