The Return of the War Legate Chapter 925
“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

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

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, "

Marie stood there in a daze for a while before she turned and left.***Meanwhile, Adrian left Mount Sol and was on his way back to Swallowston. His cell phone rang, revealing to be a call from Gloria."Hey, what's the matter, Gloria?"Gloria remained silent for a while before she asked, "Are you coming back from Mount Sol yet?""I'm on the road. What is it?""I think Sam's grandmother is at death’s door. Sam left Nova with me and headed to the hospital with Rue. Apparently, she may not live past today."'Madam Violet's about to die?'Adrian took a deep breath. Although his impression of Violet had always been pretty bad—plus she was a snide person—she was probably struck pretty hard after Clara's incident and had most likely realized her mistakes.'She's still Sam's grandmother after all.'"What sort of illness does she have?" Adrian asked."According to Sam, it's something to do with her lungs. In any case, the hospital said that she may not be able to get through tomorrow
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 932
Finally, upon reflecting on her mistakes, Violet understood all of the heinous things she had done to her granddaughter after she got married, which left a very bitter feeling in her heart.It was only after the truth was revealed and one realized how it happened would they realize their own mistakes. Yet, time waited for no one, nor was there any cure for regrets."Nathan, you're all here… Where's Samantha? Why isn't she here? Does she not think of me as her grandmother anymore? Is she really refusing to come and see me one last time?"Violet shed a tear, her voice was hoarse as she helplessly looked toward her children standing around her bed. Usually, a person nearing death would say virtuous things, while a bird that was about to die would sing mournfully. Regardless of what Violet had done in the past, she was still Samantha's grandmother at the end of the day. Grandparents may do things that disappoint their grandchildren, but the latter would always have some things they must

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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4552
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
