All Chapters of The Return of the War Legate: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

“Hahaha, it’s the…”Julian burst out laughing when he heard the voice, but before he could even finish his sentence, the arrogant smile on his face crumpled.Even Bo, Kevan, Stella, Harry, and the rest were stupefied, while Skylar just stood there, frozen.At that moment, a young man in a military uniform walked into the room with more than a dozen escorts behind him. He possessed a powerful presence, emanating a terrifying demeanor as though he demanded respect from others around him.This very person was Lucas Jenner, the battle warrior of Dragonshire!To top it all off, this god-like man even had Southrive’s General Summers behind him, hitting Bo and Julian with a double whammy.Neither Bo nor Julian seemed as arrogant as they were before. Instead, they humbled themselves so much as they respectfully said, “Mr. Lucas, it’s such an honor to meet you!”“It really is an honor to meet you, Mr. Lucas!”The atmosphere was so intense that everyone felt their jaws drop. None of them

‘He wants all of us turned into cripples as well?!’All of Adaline’s schoolmates were stunned, but then they realized they had also said some mean stuff to gain Kevan and Harry’s favor. They thought those words would not have any implications. But it was exactly because of this that Adrian announced he wanted all of their legs broken.“Ada… Ada, please… Please don’t do this! We’re all schoolmates, Ada!”No longer having scornful looks on their faces, all of Adaline’s schoolmates only showed helplessness and despair. They knew that Adrian would never spare them, so they began to beg Adaline for mercy.In fact, Adaline herself was stunned by the development of the situation. She looked at Adrian before looking at Lucas, confused as to why any of those things were happening.“Go ahead and do as you’re told, General Daniel.” Lucas gestured.“Yes, sir,” Daniel replied and waved his hand, ordering the escorts to move onward.Everyone was now on the floor after their legs had given way

Samantha and Cassey were close friends back during university but lost contact after graduating.Cassey smiled at Samantha’s remark and said, “Please. You’re doing much better than I am. Our friends have been telling me so much about how you’ve married a deadbeat!“By the way, how much did your deadbeat husband earn from pretending to be the legate at the city that never sleeps? Everyone is just dying to know!”Samantha was stunned at Cassey’s clearly hostile reply.It was true that she and Adrian had pretended to be big shots at Southrive.However, pride and ego are something that is automatically built into every person, so Samantha was left confused wondering how a legit business strategy could become another person’s laughingstock.Embarrassed, she said, “Why would you say something like that? I thought we were close in the past?”“Pfft!” Cassey stifled a laugh and was very straightforward with her words as she said, “That’s because you were doing much better than me in the

Adrian and Belle shortly arrived at the headquarters of Southrive’s Swallowston Jewelers.There, Belle brought out a necklace to show Adrian and said, “This necklace is called the Heart of the Sea. It’s made from Graff Pink diamond, also known to be the most precious gemstone in the world.“Its cut, color, and clarity make one feel like they’re looking at the ocean. Its heart-shaped design is how it got its name.“This necklace is the most precious piece of our collection. It was previously auctioned at Paolo Auctioneers with a starting price of twelve million dollars, but nobody was able to afford it.“After that, this necklace was crowned to be fit for a goddess and has been in numerous exhibitions both large and small. You could even say that it’s as popular as a celebrity, holding the love of countless people.”Adrian took a look at the necklace.‘She’s right, it does seem very outstanding. With how it’s able to exhibit a woman’s elegance, it’s specially made for women. I dou

Samantha put on the Heart of the Sea, which was the only piece of jewelry she had received over the years.‘It doesn’t matter if it’s expensive or not. What matters is that Adrian’s the one who gave it to me.’The dining table remained silent for the rest of the morning.After that, Adrian and Samantha headed to Bailar together.The company was on the brink of extinction, which was why Samantha had been coming up with ways to bolster the company.As they arrived and Samantha sat down in her office, her assistant immediately walked in.The assistant’s name was Nina Williams. She had been working for Samantha since Bailar was founded and was in charge of its operations.Samantha had a bad feeling when she saw Nina walking in. In an exhausted tone, she said, “Go on. What is it?”Nina heaved a sigh and said, “The company’s been continuing to run at a loss, and many major banks are asking us to pay up on the loans. We have three days tops before they step in and take over the compan
