The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1259
Adrian looked calm when he heard all this, but under his facade was extreme rage. There were many in the world who would twist the laws to cover up their misdeeds. Victor and his parents had clearly committed a heinous crime, yet they managed to gain the upper hand and bully the weak. Victor would be ineligible to participate in the selection because of this, but he was still there. So the question now was, how did he get in?"Something’s wrong. Victor should never have gained admission to Southrive University. Who sent him to the selection venue?" Adrian asked."I did a quick check and found that it was Wayne Tolken from Southrive's Battle Warrior Department who brought him here. Wayne used to work for Chase, and it's possible that Crystal missed out on this fact before hiring him. I smell something fishy about him.""I see." Adrian looked up and continued, "Have Wayne here by five in the afternoon tomorrow. I'll interrogate him myself. To have insulted the selection, he's playin

Still yelling at the top of her lungs, Reena continued, "We'll sue War Legate Draco in the courts of Novemton if he doesn't give us an explanation this instant! We've got all the money to hire the best lawyers! I'll pay whatever amount necessary!" To Reena, everything could be solved with money. They managed to get people to break Connie's leg without having to get personally involved by lining the appropriate pockets. And through using money, they also managed to sure Connie's parents for seventy thousand dollars.Neither Reena nor Wesley seemed to care about War Legate Draco's authority. They thought they would be able to force him to step down from his position if they paid off the media and started rumors on the Internet. At that moment, Mya walked out and said, "War Legate Draco has summoned all of you. Follow me." Reena and Wesley hastily followed Mya inside, while Anna helplessly trailed after them.***Adrian, sitting in his office, suddenly heard someone yelling, "War

When Reena tried to switch topics, Mya called her out and embarrassed her. Instantly, she said, "War Legate Draco, we're here to discuss about my son being beaten up, not who my daughter knows or doesn't know. I know this is Wyvern Peak's territory, but you won’t protect the assailant, will you?"She tried to pressure Adrian into playing to her tune for the sake of her son, who was her everything. Wesley added, "Sir, Wyvern Peak should be held responsible for my son being beaten up. According to the rules, we deserve an explanation for the matter."The couple were using Wyvern Peak's rules to keep Adrian in check. However, they had no idea that their actions made them even more laughable. "You two should—" Mya went up to stop the rude couple from speaking any further, but Adrian raised his hand to stop her. He turned toward Reena and asked, "Tell me, Mdm. Reena, what sort of resolution are you expecting from Wyvern Peak over this matter?""I’ve already told you, I want the ass

Smack!Mya gave Reena a slap the moment the latter spoke. Reena was left dumbfounded, and the same went for Wesley. "I'm only going to say this one more time, so stop testing my patience. Shut your mouth until War Legate Draco speaks to you.” Mya sounded chillingly cold when she spoke.Reena started crying out, "She hit me! Wyvern Peak is a bunch of bullies who lay their hands on old and harmless citizens! Somebody, help me! Help me! They're going to kill me!" She sat on the floor and yelled at the top of her lungs, intending to attract a crowd. Mya said upon realizing what Reena was up to, "No one will come no matter how loud you scream. The most powerful person in Novemton is standing right here. It’s within our rights to execute you for simply disobeying our orders. Don't say I didn't warn you."Reena trembled when she heard this menacing warning. Everyone here worked for Wyvern Peak, so it was impossible for anyone to come to her aid no matter how much she yelled. Fear gripp

They were being put under the microscope, but Reena was somehow able to make herself and her family the victims.With all the time in the world, Adrian replied, "So you're now saying that Kieran has falsely accused you, is that right?""Y-Yeah! That's right!" Adrian nodded. "I see. One last thing then. Please confirm that everything you've said to me is true.""I… I…" Reena hesitated for a moment before blushing profusely. Clearing her throat, she said, "Of course, it’s all true. That little brat is falsely accusing us. We don't have a grudge against Connie, so why would we break his leg?"Adrian turned toward Wesley. "What about you? Are you going to stick with your wife’s story?"Wesley, too, hesitated for a while before saying, "Yes, sir. We have absolutely nothing to do with what happened to Connie. They're accusing us because Connie's love for Anna turned into hatred after they broke up." Adrian nodded once more. "I'm sure you both understand that this matter is now relat

"No matter.” Adrian gestured toward Anna. "You read it then. Remember that you're no longer a child, so don't let a bad decision ruin your life forever."Anna read out the words in the file, "Victor Hasting. Healthy with no recorded illnesses, heart conditions, contagious viruses, or chronic diseases. No scars were found, excelled in the physical test, and no inherent deficiencies or conditions were detected. Pass."After she finished reading, Anna stared at Adrian, who turned toward Reena. "So, tell me, Mdm. Reena. Is the profile in my hands wrong, or did you and your husband give us false information? If the profile is wrong, the person who prepared it will be executed after this is over. However, if you two are the ones who gave us false information, it would indicate that you two are hiding something. I wonder which it is?"The couple panicked and were unable to find the words to say.Adrian, having no plans to let them explain themselves, said, "I've asked Southrive headquarte

Reena and Wesley were dumbfounded by how determined Adrian was. "I-I…" She could not utter a single word and thoroughly regretted her decision to cause a scene with War Legate Draco. She pleaded, "Please, sir. We truly want to drop this matter. Please look past all this and find it in your heart to let it go?"Adrian smiled. "Mdm. Reena, nobody would've paid any attention to this if you hadn't come here and caused such a huge commotion. Do you have any idea what the media will write about me if they don't get a conclusive resolution?”"But I…""You should calm down. You seemed very sure of yourself when you said you had nothing to do with Connie's broken leg, so there's nothing for you to be afraid of. We'll find out the truth when Wayne and Roland get here tomorrow.”Adrian turned toward Mya and continued, "Oh, I almost forgot. Please inform the Battle Warrior Department to have Connie and his parents flown here in a helicopter.”"Yes, sir,” Mya replied.Adrian then stood up a

Roland was the person in charge of Southrive's Internal Affairs. Following Crystal’s ascension, he retired to his hometown after being fired. And Wayne was his subordinate, who was hired by Novemton's Battle Warrior Department for some reason. The cameras turned toward them as they walked in with their heads lowered. Neither of them dared to show their faces to the cameras. "Danny Walker, Vera Stiles, and Connie Walker have arrived." Following the announcement, a couple in their fifties and a young man with thick stubble and a crutch walked in. The young man was Kieran’s brother and the couple were his parents. Following their entrance, Reena, Wesley, and Anna were brought in as well. Connie and Anna looked to the floor after quickly glancing at one another.When everyone was seated, Adrian said, "Kieran Walker and Victor Hasting's fight from last night garnered the attention of many. Wyvern Peak's legate selection is an important event in which only the most elite students are

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
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
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
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

"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
