The Return of the War Legate Chapter 129
Of course, Adaline knew who she had offended.However, she could no longer tolerate the amount of humiliation Dylan hurled at her, which caused her to retaliate.Adaline started to cry when Samantha reprimanded her. “I’m sorry, Sam. I’m sorry for causing you trouble again.”Samantha shot her an annoyed look.“What do you mean by that? You just stay here and be good. Your brother’s with the chancellor right now. I have no idea how this will be resolved, but he said he’ll handle it. So, there’s nothing for you to worry about,” Samantha consoled.Adaline nodded.Samantha pulled Adaline to a nearby bench where they sat together before continuing their conversation.***Soon, it was four in the afternoon.Adrian was taking a nap in Magnus’ office but was jolted awake by a sudden disturbance before he could wake up naturally.Magnus rushed into his office following the noise.“Bucky brought a few dozen men with him, Mr. Adrian,” he said anxiously.Adrian then stood up and pulled

Bucky was bewildered by how things had spiraled out of his control.For a moment, he felt a hint of cowardice well up inside of him when he saw Adrian. After all, nobody had ever dared make such a huge response to whatever he had done in the past.Bucky was actually afraid of having things blow up and go out of control. And on this day, three of his men had died before he had even personally made a move.Feeling slightly worried, he knew the situation was only going to get worse now that it was out of his control.Meanwhile, the surrounding students were witnessing the turn of events. All of them were staring at Adrian and suddenly realized how different he was.‘I doubt Bucky would dare to kill three people so openly…’“Wh-Who are you?! How dare you kill my men!”Despite how worried Bucky was, he still needed to put up a strong front. Moreover, there were so many onlookers. How else was he supposed to continue his reign of tyranny in Swallowston if he did not do so?On the oth

“Are you asking me for an answer?”“That’s right.” Bucky nodded.Adrian turned to look at him. “My answer is simple, really. Since your son can’t withstand the humiliation of being slapped by my sister, I might as well just kill him. After all, he won’t feel humiliated if he’s dead, right?”“Wh-What?”Bucky was extremely stunned, clearly not expecting Adrian to give him such an answer. He thought Adrian would feel afraid after killing three men. Yet, Adrian’s answer fell like a huge gavel on Bucky’s head instead.Even the surrounding students were dumbfounded.“Holy sh*t! Adaline’s got a really cool brother!”“That was a really awesome answer.”“I never realized Adaline had such a powerful brother!”The chatters went on endlessly. Meanwhile, Bucky was unable to get a read on Adrian’s thought process when he saw how calm Adrian was.Although Dylan had given him his findings on Adaline’s family background, Adrian had killed three people and given Bucky a threatening answer. A

This scene immediately attracted everyone’s attention and they gasped in shock.“Holy sh*t! They’re all driving G Wagons!”“That’s so awesome… And menacing.”“What the f*ck is happening?”Meanwhile, Bucky seemed rather stiff as he turned to look at the G Wagons—all of the same color, followed by the slams of their doors being closed.Instantly, more than a hundred middle-aged men dressed in black suits revealed themselves, all of them wielding a black pistol.The one leading them all was a woman with a curvaceous body and pretty looks. She, too, was wearing the same suit and had on a pair of sunglasses. She emanated a powerful temperament.This woman was none other than Mya Dean.Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air, while Bucky was flabbergasted.His son, Dylan, watched with his eyes wide open.The moment Mya walked over and snapped her fingers, all of the men in suits raised their hands and trained their pistols at Bucky and Dylan. This left the father and son terrified

Adrian smiled mockingly. “We’re in the same line of business, you say?”Bucky nodded.“No, no, no, no.” Adrian interrupted Bucky. “You’re into some shady business, but not me. Do you know why I can so openly have this many guns trained on you? It’s because Battle Warrior Lucas would have to address me as his mentor if he were to be here right now.“Right then. I’ll give you some time to explain your actions. Otherwise, you’ll die right here.”“What?”Bucky was now sitting limply on the floor. ‘He’s Battle Warrior Lucas’ mentor?’He was dumbfounded, and so were his son and the rest of the onlookers.They all knew that Lucas governed the whole of Dragonshire’s Southrive, while only one man was higher ranked than him—the war legate who recently arrived!Rumor had it that the war legate was Battle Warrior Lucas’ mentor.At that moment, the crowd started exclaiming in shock.“He… He’s the war legate?!”“Oh my god, Adaline’s brother is the legate!”“Are you serious?!” Everyone

Some people had planned on posting these events to their social media accounts to show their friends.However, they immediately deleted whatever photos and videos they had after hearing Mya’s words.Everyone knew they needed to keep their mouths shut and never tell a single soul about what transpired here today.After all, no one dared to joke around when their lives were on the line.Soon, the scene was cleaned up. The Laymans had entered the campus with arrogant looks on their faces but were lifeless corpses when they left.Everyone learned a valuable life lesson that day—arrogance will not be met in kind.***While Adrian dealt with the Laymans, many others watched the events unfold from the girl’s dormitory but they could not see clearly due to how far away they were.However, they all knew they had heard gunshots.At that moment, Samantha felt extremely worried about the uncertainty of what was happening.“What’s happening over there, Ada? Why are there gunshots? Is your
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 135
Samantha was shocked when she heard this.She quietly looked at Adrian, not expecting things to have ended up the way they had.Samantha was terrified as she drove to campus that she had not thought about doing what Adrian had done.However, to her, things were probably not as simple as they seemed.‘Adrian’s probably the one who called them here.’Hearing this, Samantha smiled and said, “Looks like you really do have a few tricks up your sleeve. I completely forgot about that plan, It’s no wonder you were so calm earlier.”“Nobody could possibly behave so arrogantly and get away with it,” Adrian said.“Sam, could you wait for me over there for a moment, please? There are a few things I’d like to say to Ada alone. She’s going to get a stern lecture from me today.”Samantha sighed. She, too, thought that Adaline had behaved recklessly.‘She shouldn’t have raised her hand at Dylan, no matter how overboard he had been with her.‘What would she have done if Dylan had retaliated r

Adrian made no further comment after he was done briefing them.Mya recognized Suzy and Shiloh’s fighting skills, and it was Adrian's first time showing such meticulous care to Adaline.And the whole time, Adaline was at a loss for words.***Adrian assigned Suzy and Shiloh to stay while Mya made arrangements for other affairs.Adrian found Samantha sitting on a bench on the field.Noticing Adrian’s arrival, she stood up and said, “What did you say to Ada? Why won’t you let me listen?”Adrian smiled and answered, “If you were there, she’d feel like you’re on her side. Hence, I sent you away so I could reprimand her properly.”Samantha did not comment further because she knew that Adrian did it because he cared for Adaline.They then left Swallowston University.Upon arriving home, they found Rue growing restless.She hastily ran to them when she spotted them. “Adrian, Sam, how’s everything? Is Ada okay?”“Don’t worry, Mother. It’s been dealt with,” said Adrian while nodding

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?

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.

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.

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.

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
