The Return of the War Legate Chapter 117
Riley was rather surprised.She had not expected Samantha to have such strong willpower to get back on her feet again after being bullied by the Cowells.On top of that, she had managed to secure investments again.Riley was hesitant as she was faced with Samantha’s sincerity.As she was pondering, Adrian said to her, “You know very well that the Xanders won’t make progress.”Riley knew that her family would not go far. Starting from Harold to the bottom of the family tree, every one of them bore the same stripes.“Riley.” Samantha reached for Riley’s hand with an earnest expression on her face.Riley was struggling deep inside. She realized that this was a chance for her.Soon, Riley nodded heavily. “I accept your offer to join your company, Sam.”Samantha was instantly excited to hear Riley’s remark. She grabbed Riley’s little hand and placed it on her chest.Samantha said, “Riley, let’s work hard together from now on. I believe that it won’t be long until we establish the

Adrian picked up the call. “Yes?”“Sir, we spotted some Luposians in Southrive today. I secretly looked into them and I speculate that they’re assassins sent by Luposia,” said Daniel.“How many?” asked Adrian.Daniel said, “As of this moment, I’m not too sure. I’m still investigating. Lucas won’t be in Swallowston for the next two days so my advice is to keep a close watch over your wife, sir.”Luposia had always been hostile against Navia. They had lost quite many people in the incessant wars over the past two years. It was highly plausible that they would send assassins to Southrive.As for their motive, Daniel was still trying to figure out if they were sent to assassinate Adrian or Lucas.Adrian said, “Noted. Continue your investigation and notify me immediately if there are any updates.”“Yes, sir.” Daniel hung up the call upon saying that.Meanwhile, Samantha walked out of the bathroom wearing a pale blue-colored nightgown and asked in puzzlement, “Who were you talking to

Samantha was astonished.She had not expected to receive two thousand computers from Liam of Nine Kings on top of a full set of office furniture from Mandy.Samantha was astounded beyond comparison.“Sam, it seems that Mr. Liam thinks very highly of you. He believes that you’re capable so he wants to help you out. You should quickly thank him and his people,” Adrian urged as he observed the astonishment on her face.Samantha hastily said, “I’m very grateful for Mr. Liam’s gift. Please come upstairs with me and have a cup of coffee. Thank you for taking the trouble to do this, everyone.”The middle-aged man passed a receipt to Samantha. “Thank you, but we’ll skip the coffee, miss. Please sign the receipt so we can head back and report to Mr. Liam.”“Sure thing.” Samantha quickly signed her name on the receipt.The middle-aged man said, “Thank you so much, Ms. Samantha.“Everyone, unload the computers.“Where should we put them, miss?”“You can just place them in the lobby firs

In their perception, Samantha was solely responsible for Bailar’s bankruptcy.They blamed her for not accepting the general manager position and they refused to take any responsibility for the downfall.Clara and Francis smiled upon hearing that.Yet, it was at this exact moment that Nathan and Hugo ran into the house.Nathan said in an extremely agitated tone, “Mother, Mother, this is bad. Something bad happened. Something really bad!”Nathan and Hugo were extremely agitated and were sweating profusely from running.“Nathan, you’re not young anymore, so why are you shouting? Where’s your sense of propriety?” Violet said angrily upon witnessing the situation.“That’s right, Father. What happened?” Clara raised her head and looked at Nathan as she asked in puzzlement.Nathan inhaled a few deep breaths. He was panting and breathing heavily as he struggled to get the next few words out, “Mother… You… You may not know this but I just received…word that Samantha has opened a new com

Violet arrived at New Paraiso with the Cowells. She was clearly agitated.Meanwhile, Samantha, who was busy with the renovation works, spotted Violet rush in with the Cowells and was instantly astonished. She rushed to the ground level of the building without any hesitation.“What brings you here, Grandmother?” Samantha asked when she stood in before Violet.Violet did not answer immediately. She sized up New Paraiso’s building and discovered that it was grander than the Cowell Group’s building.Violet said, “Samantha, you started a new company so quickly. Why didn’t you notify me? Do you not care about this old woman anymore?”Violet took advantage of her seniority and did not feel any shame when she said this.Samantha answered, “I’ve been very busy as of late, Grandmother. Also, the company has yet to start operations so I haven’t notified anyone about it.”“That’s not a good excuse.” Violet let out a grunt.Nathan stepped forward and said angrily, “Samantha, you started a n

Violet assumed an expression as if Samantha owed her.The Cowells burst out laughing upon hearing Violet’s orders.“The Cowells have taken care of you for such a long time so it’s time for you to repay the family’s favor, Samantha.“Grandmother’s not asking for too much with fifty percent, right?” said Clara with a sneer.“That’s right. It’s already respectful to you that she’s allowing you to keep twenty-nine percent when you’re just a piece of sh*t. Don’t be ungrateful as you were with Bailar,” said Francis.It was clear that they were demanding a share of New Paraiso, and they made it sound like it was serious business.Francis was shameless beyond comparison. He demanded someone else’s belongings yet called Samantha such a foul word. Only the Cowells would produce someone like him.Samantha had not expected Violet to come here asking for company shares.Anyone would be well aware that a shareholder with fifty-one percent was considered the biggest shareholder with the autho

The rest of the Cowells were astonished.Francis lay on the ground, trembling uncontrollably. He whimpered continuously because of the pain in his mouth.Then, he started shedding tears. He wanted to cry out loud, yet he discovered that he could not move his lips. He had not expected something like this to happen and he regretted his actions at this very moment.He wanted to speak, yet was utterly incapable of even moving his mouth.“Francis, Francis? How do you feel?” Hugo asked as he helped Francis into a sitting position.Francis could not speak but his eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Adrian.Samantha had not expected Adrian to punch Francis so strongly and her beautiful face turned pale with fear.Violet was shaking at the sight of Francis’ badly battered state.“What did you do, Adrian?!” she roared at him.Adrian clapped his hands together. He did not even glance at Violet as he said, “Haven’t you heard of the saying ‘the one who scolds people has a foul mouth

Nathan left with the other Cowells upon saying that.***Samantha wiped her tears after her family departed.She felt extremely disappointed. She never expected her family to be so shameless that they would seek trouble with her in an even more aggressive manner than before.Violet disowned her, sought payment of seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars from her, and went back on her own word to seize Bailar.And Violet now had the nerve to ask for New Paraiso’s shares?Even though Violet was her grandmother, Samantha could not make peace with Violet’s unreasonable actions.“Forget it, Sam. Your grandmother and my grandfather cut from the same cloth. Let’s not lower ourselves to their level.” Riley patted Samantha on the shoulder.Samantha inhaled a deep breath and said, “I didn’t expect my grandmother would be so insensible that she’d have the nerve to come to me and ask for New Paraiso’s shares. And she did it as if it was reasonable and logical for me to do so too.“If she

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

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

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

"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
