Not long after they arrived home, there was a knock at the door.Rue went to get it and when she saw who it was, she frowned. “Clara, Simon, why are you here?”The woman was Clara Cowell, Samantha’s cousin.Clara had always been her grandmother’s favorite, but she could not stand how Samantha was doing better than her so she would always try to one-up Samantha.She came up with all sorts of schemes. Once, she even tried to make Samantha marry a disabled man.The worse Samantha’s life was, the happier Clara would be.The man standing beside Clara was her fiance, Simon Black, the eldest of the Black family children.Rue did not want to see them, so she quickly closed the door to stop them from coming in. However, Clara was able to push her way in and frowned. “Why are you so anxious, Rue? I’m here to see Samantha.”Rue was pushed aside.Clara and Simon walked in and looked around.“What business do you have with Sam?” Adrian, who was sitting on the couch, asked when he saw them

A young man drove out of a mansion somewhere in Swllowston after answering Simon’s call.That young man was George Livingston, son of one of the richest men in Swallowston, and had a close relationship with Donald Kushner, the richest man in the city.After Simon got acquainted with George, the Cowells wanted to be associated with George, so they proposed a partnership between their companies. Clara added fuel to the fire and suggested that Samantha would sleep with him.At that moment, George’s luxury car drove into the streets of Swallowston toward Adrian’s place. However, there were sudden bursts of engine noise from all directions.The next moment, military SUVs popped out of nowhere and blocked his car from all sides.“Wh-What’s this?”George’s eyes opened wide when he saw the sudden fleet of cars. Before he could react, his car was surrounded by more than a dozen cars.The cars stopped, and Daniel got out of one of them.George shuddered and said, “General Summers, what b

Night time.When the family was having dinner, Adrian’s phone rang. It was Daniel on the line.“I need to take this.” Adrian got up and went to the garden.Once he picked up, Daniel said, “Sir, the Cowells sent you an invitation for a gathering at their home. I haven’t replied. Will you be attending?”“I don’t have time for that. Reject the invite.” Adrian hung up and went back inside.Samantha said to Adrian, “Go to my family home and meet my grandmother tomorrow. She’s my family.”“All right.” He nodded.“Don’t forget to bring her some gifts. I have some money here.” Rue quickly took out her purse and handed him a hundred dollars.He looked at the money and was touched. It was apparent she had been keeping this money for a while now because it was all crumpled up.Something came to mind and Adrian said, “Mother, how much money do you need for Ada’s tuition? Which university did she get into?”Adaline looked up and started paying attention.Rue said, “Swallowston University

Meanwhile, at the Cowells’.The Cowells used to be an affluent family in Swallowston. But after John passed away, Violet took over the family affairs and caused the family to go from an upstanding family to a low-class one.Violet Barker was an arrogant, self-centered woman who loved to look down on people. Clara and Francis were her favorite grandchildren, but she loathed Samantha.There was a family meeting underway at the Cowell’s. Violet was hosting in the living room.Samantha’s eldest uncle, Nathan Cowell, her second uncle, Hugo Cowell, Hugo’s son, Francis Cowell, and many other family members were in attendance.Clara was there with a swollen face. The reason for the meeting was to discuss Swallow Central.Violet said, “I just got word that Swallow Central will start letting companies bid for a spot in a week. The legate will be there to chair the investment conference. They’ve already sent out invitations. Do any of you have any idea how to get an invite for the family?”

“Wow, your family’s famous!”“You’re so different from that piece of trash.”“Yes, you’re so much better than him.”Everyone started licking Simon’s boots after he said that and compared him to Adrian.When Simon heard this, he became even smugger and smirked at Adrian.Simon said, “The legate will personally be there, so everyone in the upper-class circle is paying a lot of attention to the conference. I heard that Battle Warrior Lucas will be escorting him. Not everyone has the opportunity to get an invitation.”All the Cowells took a sharp intake of breath. The legate and the Battle Warriors were extremely important figures. Getting an invitation would be the biggest achievement for the Cowells.Nathan said, “Simon, do you think your family can get an invitation for our family too?”Everyone agreed upon hearing this.Hugo said, “Yes, Simon. You’re my brother’s son-in-law, and your family is prominent in Swallowston. If your father asked for it, we could probably get an invi

Had Adrian’s call really made the war legate send an invitation to the Cowells?“Thanks to the legate. Thank you, General Summers.”Violet gazed at the invitation. Her tears started falling as she put out her hand to accept it.Daniel nodded and said, “Everyone here is invited. We’ll reserve seats for you. Have a good day.”“Please see General Summers off,” Violet said.Hugo and Nathan escorted Daniel out.Everyone’s eyes were glued to the invitation as if they were in a collective dream.“Grandmother, this is a genuine invitation!” Francis excitedly said.“It is. The legate actually gave us an invitation!”“The gods are smiling on us. We’re on the road to becoming one of the richest families in Swallowston!” Violet looked up and gave her thanks to the Heavens.Samantha looked at Adrian in shock. Had this invitation really come because of his call?However, Simon suddenly said, “Congratulations, Grandmother. Truth be told, before coming over, my father contacted the legate t

That night, Samantha went home straight after finishing work at Bailar.As usual, dinner was ready at home.“Mother, is Adrian back?” Samantha asked once she got home.After leaving the Cowells’, she went to sit in her office and pondered for a long time. She knew that she had gone overboard by leaving Adrian on the streets. He was, after all, her husband.Adrian had said all that to protect her, so when she did not see him home, she grew curious. She was afraid that he would leave again.Rue replied, “He’s making dinner in the kitchen. He made everything here.”Adrian walked out of the kitchen as Rue was saying that.Upon seeing him, Samantha sighed in relief, but she was disappointed because all her husband knew was to cook.“Go wash your hands. It’s time for dinner,” he said to her, but she gave no reply.Everyone sat down and started having dinner, but Adaline suddenly said, “Sam, I heard that Swallow Central is almost ready to be opened to the public and that the legate w

Everyone looked toward Adrian.There was a three-second pause followed by an explosion of laughter.“Haha! Adrian, you trash! You’re such a funny man!” Francis held his stomach as he pointed at Adrian with tears of laughter rolling down his cheeks.All the Cowells laughed uproariously.Simon chastised Adrian, “You said that you were going to get an invitation for the Cowells, but I was the one who ended up getting it. You just love to lie!”Clara added, “You’re so funny. You, the piece of trash, can get Samantha into the investment conference? What a joke!”Adaline closed her eyes because she was speechless. Adrian making an outrageous lie like that would just make everyone laugh at him.Samantha was disappointed again. She felt terrible for leaving Adrian on the streets earlier, but it seemed that he had not learned his lesson.‘Go on. Laugh. I’ll enjoy the look on your faces on that day,’ Adrian thought.The laughter finally stopped, then the Cowells looked at him.Simon sa

The scene was utterly horrifying, a sight that would chill anyone to the bone.Renee’s expression turned cold.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!It was as if a violent gale was tearing through the area.Renee's expression was laced with murderous intent, waves of killing intent radiating from her. Despite borrowing Adrian’s power, she was uncertain of how much longer she could hold out. Although she could sense the fluctuations of his power, her body was already reaching its limit under the relentless assault of this endless, divine thunderstorm.While the power itself wasn’t an issue, her physical body wasn’t as sturdy as Adrian's. The unending barrage of divine lightning combined with the might of the formation made her feel excruciatingly uncomfortable.As for Adrian, his hands were covered in countless afterimages which were actually the results of him deducing the formation. Renee was utterly shocked. She had witnessed Ciawales formation experts deducing formations before, but that wa

Adrian was truly astonishing. If Renee failed to protect him properly, the mysterious forces within the formation could strike him down, leading to his death and obliteration. The thought weighed heavily on her, filling her with worry. Despite her capabilities, Renee doubted her ability to safeguard Adrian who possessed overwhelming power far beyond her own. He probably had three times her strength.Feeling helpless, she said, "I'm afraid I might not be able to protect you. If something goes wrong, we could both end up buried here."Adrian responded coldly, "Don’t worry about that. If I asked you to help, it’s because I’m confident." He then commanded, "Begin." He waved his hand, and a grand formation materialized in the void. He instructed, "Step into the center, Renee. This formation will enhance your strength by allowing my power to flow through you.""What?" Renee was stunned, her eyes filled with shock. She couldn’t believe Adrian’s abilities were so vast. The sight was extra

Waves of violent tremors surged through the heavens and earth, shattering everything before them. Adrian's entire body pulsed with a surge of wild energy that erupted outward."Break!" Adrian roared, his voice piercing the skies. The sword in his hand sliced through the air, shattering everything in its path. The sheer force was both intimidating and terrifying.Boom!“Go to hell!” he shouted.Boom, boom, boom!A terrifying wave of power exploded forth. A yellowish aura emanated from Adrian's hand, catching Renee’s attention. Her eyes widened in surprise."What kind of power is this? Why does it feel so powerful? I’ve never seen anything like it before," Renee muttered in astonishment. Despite her vast knowledge, she had never encountered such a force.Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!The arcane power in Adrian’s hand rapidly sliced through the air, tearing apart the air itself. The scene was overwhelmingly frightening.Crack, crack, crack!Suddenly, the space around them collided and

Adrian hadn’t anticipated that there would be a formation awaiting them up ahead. This certainly added a layer of danger. Whoever had set this up was quite cunning.Renee glanced around, her eyes filled with surprise. It was clear this wasn’t an ordinary formation.“The formation around us is rumored to be an ancient one. It’s said to be extremely terrifying, capable of unleashing boundless power if we’re not careful,” she warned, her gaze fixed intently on their surroundings.Adrian paused for a moment, slightly taken aback. An ancient formation, was it? It sounded formidable. It seemed that the place they had entered was far from simple.He scrutinized their surroundings without a hint of panic or anxiety. Instead, his eyes flashed with a sharp killing intent.Boom!Before Adrian could make a move, the formation began to activate. White lights surged from all directions like an unstoppable tide. He and Renee were now trapped within a confined space.Boom, boom, boom!Violent

Adrian had rushed into the lightning storm, not because of recklessness or a desire to play the hero. The truth was simpler—he wanted to become even stronger.These lightning bolts might represent a deadly force to others, a hellish trap. But for Adrian, they were the perfect nourishment to temper his body.Boom, boom, boom!The terrifying energy rippled through the sky, causing the entire world to tremble. It was a fearsome sight. The unending waves of power distorted the air, making the scene look unimaginably frightening.Crackle, crackle, crackle!Inside the heart of the storm, Adrian stood still, allowing the lightning to strike him mercilessly. It was a shocking sight. Renee watched, frozen in disbelief.‘What is he doing? Will he die? And if he does… What will happen to me?’ Renee felt a strange pang of sorrow.Unconsciously, she realized she had become deeply concerned about Adrian. Although he had called her his servant on this journey, he had always treated her with re

When Adrian spoke, Renee was left speechless. This guy was truly exasperating. The fluctuation of the mysterious force was known to be deadly. Many powerful warriors had perished here. It was a notorious region where even the strongest could meet their end.Boom, boom, boom!Up ahead, waves of energy surged violently. Renee’s eyes widened in shock as she watched Adrian’s calm expression. This man was either insanely brave or utterly reckless.It seemed Adrian’s luck wasn’t the best as the mysterious force had become active. Normally, if the force remained dormant, they could safely pass through. However, when it stirred, everything would be thrown into chaos.Crackle, crackle, crackle!Suddenly, countless bolts of lightning appeared in the air, writhing like serpents. The crackling energy split the sky and thunder boomed, filling the surroundings with terrifying, earth-shaking power.Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!The energy tore through the sky, causing the world around them to trembl

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!The sound of rushing winds filled the air as Adrian and Renee sped toward Death Valley without a moment’s pause. Their speed was astounding, and Renee watched the landscape blur by, her eyes filled with astonishment. She couldn’t fathom Adrian’s incredible strength. Even while dragging her along, he moved with the swiftness of a warrior at the Integration Stage.“Up ahead is Death Valley. We need to slow down. They say you can’t fly here or the mysterious force within will strike you down instantly,” Renee quickly warned Adrian.Adrian paused briefly, then chuckled calmly. “Oh? Is that so? How interesting.”This was the first time Adrian had heard of such a dangerous place. Although he found it intriguing, his expression turned serious and he decided to land. However, he didn’t remain idle. He immediately raised his hand and unleashed a strike toward the sky.Whoosh!A surge of wild power erupted, piercing the heavens. The energy was so intense that it see

“Feeling calmer now?” Adrian asked with a faint smile as he looked at the Azure Naga. This creature was clearly seeking its death. Now, under Adrian’s relentless assault, it was suffering immensely.The Azure Naga’s furious roars echoed through the air, sounding terrifying. The once-mighty beast now appeared pitiful, its entire body battered and broken, with no intact parts remaining.Renee couldn’t bear to watch and covered her eyes. The naga’s fate was too tragic. Adrian, who now seemed like a daemon incarnate, had tortured the creature to within an inch of its life.“Die!” With a swing of his sword, Adrian unleashed a strike that tore through the sky, obliterating everything in its path. The sword’s force was like a radiant rainbow, cutting through heaven and earth.Renee stood in stunned silence, unable to comprehend how Adrian could accomplish such a feat. His power was simply too frightening.Boom!The energy surged and pierced the heavens. The sword strike sliced through
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4577
Adrian’s punch was ferocious beyond measure, and the enormous beast before him radiated a terrifying power, looking incredibly fearsome.Boom!The immense force surged through the air. Adrian’s expression remained calm and indifferent. To him, this Azure Naga was simply courting death. Despite being on a similar level of strength, the beast relied on its status as a monster, believing itself invincibly powerful. It underestimated humans, which would be its fatal mistake.In the human world, not all were physically formidable, but there was always someone stronger than the last. Adrian was an anomaly, and the Azure Naga was destined to suffer for its arrogance.Thud, thud, thud!The massive naga was sent flying by Adrian’s strike, crashing heavily into the distance, looking pitiful and battered. The naga’s enormous eyes widened in disbelief. It couldn’t fathom Adrian striking it down so easily. It realized it was utterly powerless before this human.Adrian didn’t let up and presse
