“Frankly, my presence won’t affect you because you’ll be the most important person there,” Adrian explained to Samantha.Samantha was still rather concerned despite Adrian’s attempt to convince her.She was about to speak when Adrian interjected, “Don’t be too worried over whether Mandy will be willing to invest or not. You still have to try. If you never try, how will you know if you can or cannot do it?”Samantha inhaled deeply as she listened to Adrian’s words and observed his determined expression.Adrian was right about this being her own matter to handle.Samantha appeared to have gained a tinge of confidence and said, “All right, understood. I shall go on my own. Where are you going today anyway?”Adrian said, “I’m going to meet a friend. I’ll be back soon. I look forward to hearing good news, Sam.”Adrian tried to cheer Samantha up.She pursed her lips and smiled. She nodded profusely and said, “I’m going to succeed, Adrian. Bye now.”Adrian nodded while Samantha walke
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 99
Meanwhile in Swallowston, at the Paraiso Group.Seven years ago, Paraiso was the biggest enterprise and ranked first all throughout Swallowston. It was on par with the Cowell Group at the time and both companies were extremely influential.But after Henry’s passing, Harold forcefully took control of Paraiso. Ever since then, the company had suffered a disastrous decline.The company went from being the first-ranked company in Swallowston to a small, unpopular company.Meanwhile, at Paraiso, in the general manager’s office, Cedric, who had on a suit, was going through the accounts while another young man sat next to him.The young man was named Jacob and he was Wilfred’s son.Cedric and Jacob were cousins and they were the highest management personnel of Paraiso at the current moment.Harold held seventy percent of Paraiso’s shares while the other thirty percent was equally divided between his two sons and two grandchildren. Cedric and Jacob were given the posts of general manage
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 100
The truth was, Cedric had no idea where this large sum of money would come from.He was a deadbeat and was clueless about running a company. Yet, Harold regarded him as one of his best grandsons. Harold thought very highly of him.Riley was furious beyond comparison upon hearing Cedric’s remark.‘Receive a large sum of money?’Riley said, “Cedric, you don’t even go out to secure business deals and spend all day flirting with women and drinking here. Everyone in the company knows that.“Didn’t you sleep with a married employee once? The woman’s husband came seeking justice from the company.“You’re going to inflict great damage sooner or later if you keep doing this.”Riley appeared worried.Cedric raised his head and burst out laughing. “You think too much, Riley. I’ve never yielded to anyone in Swallowston. No one in the city dares to claim that they’re more capable than me.“I believe that I deserve to enjoy the process before I succeed in my career.”Cedric leaned back int

Upon saying that, Adrian looked around the place once again.The place evoked past memories for him. When he was younger, he would frequently visit Paraiso with Henry and played in the office while Henry worked.At the time, the employees of the company addressed him as Mr. Adrian. He thought about how everything was so wonderful when Henry was still alive.Yet, one could not always get what one wanted. Henry had already been gone for seven years without Adrian’s notice.He got down on one knee and grabbed a handful of earth from the ground. It felt as if every plant and every bit of earth was telling him “I hope you’re well” after not coming here for seven years.“It’s been seven years,” Adrian murmured to himself.Time seemed to have passed quickly yet slowly. Rue and Adaline had been living difficult lives, and so had he.Meanwhile, Adrian suddenly looked to the ground level of the building. A woman was standing there and watching him quietly from afar.He recognized the wom

Adrian turned around and his gaze landed on Cedric. “Your mouth is as foul as ever. Trust me when I say that I can beat your mouth into a pulp!”“Hah-hah-hah!” Cedric raised his head and burst out laughing.Paraiso was his territory. Why should he be afraid of a deadbeat when he was on home ground?Cedric chuckled and said, “F*ck you. You really are bold to speak to me in that manner in my company. Trust me when I say that I can make you incapable of walking out of here.“Adrian, do you still think that Paraiso belongs to your father? Hahaha! I’ll let you know that Paraiso isn’t affiliated with you in any way.”“Are you trying to get yourself killed by coming here?” said Jacob as he sneered.“Cut the crap. Let’s break his legs first before anything else,” scolded Cedric.Upon saying that, Cedric pulled out his phone and made a call, “Hello, security. Gather all the guards and send them to the ground level of the building at once. Remember to get everyone to come with a baton.“
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 103
Several of the company’s employees were alerted by the MPVs driving into the building.Soon after, the cars stopped and a large group of people swiftly got out of the cars. There were a total of more than a hundred people.These people worked for the Dean family.They surrounded the security guards of Cedric’s company upon their arrival.At this very moment, Cedric was stunned.Jacob’s jaw dropped and he appeared to be caught in a daze.It was apparent that they were startled by the group of people who suddenly showed up.“Wh-What the heck is going on?” Cedric was stunned.Meanwhile, his arrogant, wildly conceited mannerism vanished and in its place was astoundment.Cedric began to panic. He had not expected so many people would suddenly show up. And he was not the only panic-stricken one.The company security guards dropped their batons in succession. They behaved as if they were not part of the situation.Noticing that the guards began to back away, Cedric panicked.“A-Ad

Mya nodded upon hearing this. She waved her hand and said, “Take them and send them to the Xanders's home.”“Yes, ma’am!”Mya’s subordinates dragged them into the car.After handling Cedric and Jacob, Adrian left Paraiso.***Meanwhile, Harold, Leonard, Wilfred, and the other Xanders were having a meeting at home.Riley was present as well. The main content of the meeting was regarding her decision to resign from the family business. Harold was furious regarding this matter.Harold said, “Riley, you’re a woman of our family so it’s only right for you to work for the family business. Yet, you’re telling me that you wish to resign?“The Xanders have raised you for so many years. Are our efforts for nothing?”Harold had always practiced patriarchy, and his favorite grandsons were Cedric and Jacob. He treated Riley the same as Adaline and refused to regard her as his grandsons’ equal.Meanwhile, Leonard said, “Riley, your grandfather is right. You’re a Xander. Where else will you
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 105
“What?”Harold’s expression changed drastically upon hearing Mya’s words.‘Adrian did this?’ Harold’s eyes widened in surprise while Leonard and Wilfred were furious.Leonard roared, “Father, how dare Adrian beat up Cedric and Jacob to this extent! He’s insolent!”“I’ll kill him!” Wilfred roared, his eyes bloodshot.The Xanders had not expected Adrian to beat up Cedric and Jacob till their current state. They were furious.Harold inhaled a deep breath and said, “This is unforgivable. How dare Adrian do this. I will never let him off.”He clenched his fist tightly.Cedric and Jacob were his two favorite grandchildren and he was heartbroken to see their broken legs.“What’s your relationship with Adrian? Do you think that you can still walk away from here after hurting my grandsons?” Harold looked toward Mya and said in rage.“B*tch, you work for Adrian and you’ve come to our house. You’re doomed!” Leonard roared angrily as he pointed at Mya.“Leonard, call someone. Quick,” sa

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 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
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
