The Return of the War Legate Chapter 139
Harold said, “The person who invested in Samantha’s company is the president of Swallowston Bank, Amanda Cole.”Jaden chuckled and said, “Swallowston Bank, huh? That’s nothing to my family.”This was precisely what Harold wanted to hear.No one from Swallowston dared to claim to be the boss of Southrive.No one from a small place like Swallowston dared to speak before Southrive’s influential families spoke.“However, Adrian’s wife is quite pretty. Samantha Cowell is the most beautiful woman in Swallowston. It’ll be nice if I get to fool around with her.” Jaden smirked.“Hahaha!” Leonard burst out laughing upon hearing this.Adrian’s wife was one of the most beautiful women in Swallowston indeed.As soon as Jaden’s voice died away, a voice was heard saying, “I bet you don’t know this, Mr. Jaden. In truth, Samantha has yet to sleep with Adrian. You have my full support if you wish to bed her.”Cedric limped his way into the house with crutches and proclaimed this with a sneer on

The Xanders made up their minds.After that, Leonard, Wilfred, Cedric, and others began to ferociously propagate the news that the Xander Group was about to merge with Southrive’s River Group to become the River Group’s branch company in Swallowston.One could say that the Xanders exaggerated the information substantially.To publicize to all of Swallowston, Leonard even held a press conference to get the information on the business news headlines.The effect achieved was within the Xanders’ expectations.Following the spread of the information, almost everyone in Swallowston soon learned about the merger.***At night, Samantha returned home after she was done handling the affairs of tomorrow’s opening ceremony.Meanwhile, Rue and Adrian were having dinner together.Samantha learned about the Xanders receiving an investment from Southrive’s River Group and found it incredulous.She said, “Adrian, is your grandfather a fool?“Oops, sorry for my choice of words, but you have

Rue understood all of the Xanders very well.It was a waste that Henry had passed away at such a young age.Samantha said, “You’re right about my uncles-in-law being idiots. All they do is be angry and scold people all day long. On the other hand, their sons, Cedric and Jacob, are always stealing money from the company so they can spend it on partying with women.”In truth, that was something Samantha had wanted to say all this time. However, she found it inappropriate to say in the past when Adrian was not around.She continued, “I really can’t figure out why my father-in-law is so outstanding while his two older brothers are so useless. Moreover, their sons are even worse.”Rue chuckled upon hearing that.She glanced at Samantha and said, “Sam, Henry inherited his mother’s talents and willingness to work hard. On the other hand, your uncles-in-law inherited their father’s laziness.“You have no idea how lazy Harold was in the beginning. I heard from Henry that your grandmother

Adrian hung up the phone and took a shower before retiring to his room.Adaline was the previous occupant of this but it was now his.He had only laid on the bed for a few short minutes before his phone rang again.The call came from Gorgonshire’s Battle Warrior Skylar.“Sir.” Adrian heard Skylar’s voice as soon as he picked up the phone.Navia was guarded by nine battle warriors. Skylar managed the Northrive zone and he shared a reputation as celebrated as Battle Warrior Lucas.Adrian had trained Skylar singlehandedly too.Adrian said, “Have you looked into the matter that I tasked you with?”Skylar said, “I sent someone to pay a visit to Northrive’s Hart family earlier to inquire about them. You’re right, they had an heiress who married a Xander and moved to Southrive.“That man is your grandfather, Harold Xander.”It was just as Adrian had speculated. His grandmother, Layla, originated from a rather influential family indeed.Adrian asked, “What was the name she went by w
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 143
Samantha fell silent upon hearing those words.She had no idea who Adrian was on the phone with, but at this very moment, she recalled all the events that had taken place since Adrian’s return. She suddenly realized that these events were not coincidental.It felt as if someone was making arrangements for these events in secret.It started during Swallow Central’s opening ceremony up until the establishment of New Paraiso.Too many things had happened in succession.‘There must be someone planning all this, but who?’Samantha’s gaze landed on Adrian at last. She knew that her husband was definitely not the ordinary person that he made himself out to be.Where was he over the past seven years?Had he served in the army?Samantha found that to be rather unrealistic but she suddenly came to realize at this exact moment that the situation was not as simple as she had imagined.However, she was a careful person. She did not say or do anything and obediently retired to her room.S

Riley broke down.The goal of Southrive’s River family was obvious.What sort of person was Jaden River? He grew up in a business family. His father and grandfather were renowned entrepreneurs. How could the Xander Group contend with him?Yet, why could Leonard not understand such a simple issue?Riley cried and said, “I’ve already said my piece on this matter, Father. We can wait and see if I’m wrong about this.“I have no doubts that the Xander Group’s shares will change drastically when Jaden channels the money into the company.“By then, Jaden will acquire all the shares using money bit by bit. In the end, he will kick Grandfather and all of you out of the company. By then, it will be too late to regret this.”Riley did her best to convince Leonard.But why would Leonard allow himself to be dissuaded? He was already immersed in the joy of having the Rivers as his backer.However, before Leonard could lose his temper again, Cedric walked over with his crutches. “Riley, I ha

The next morning, Samantha woke up early for New Paraiso’s opening ceremony.Samantha spent a little over an hour getting ready, donning a formal business suit with high heels. She looked alluring, mature, and charming.She also applied eyeshadow on her eyelids and lipstick on her lips, which was rare.Samantha looked extremely enticing and breathlessly beautiful.“Are you done getting ready, Adrian? Let’s eat on the way over. It will be a busy day at the company, and we should leave soon,” Samantha smiled and said to Adrian as soon as he stepped out of his room.Adrian glanced at Samantha and was enthralled by her.Her long legs were glistening with a seductive glossy sheen under her skirt and Adrian could not refrain himself from taking a few extra glances.“Do I look good?” Samantha asked.She spread her arms and spun around in front of Adrian on purpose.He smiled and said, “My wife is beautiful. She’s exquisite.”Samantha sniggered and said to Rue who just got out of her
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 146
Samantha realized she was no longer able to figure out Adrian’s thoughts.Still, she chose not to think too much since time was of the essence.Instead, she brought Rue with her to New Paraiso’s official opening ceremony.***Meanwhile, Adrian had someone deliver him a car so that he could drive over to Swallowston Cemetery.The area was rather quiet, seeing how it was in the suburbs.The cemetery was not luxurious per se, but it was the place where Layla Hart, Adrian’s grandmother, rested.Adrian did not know much about Layla’s life, but from what he knew, she was born into the Hart family—a wealthy family in Northrive. She had gone through life with a silver spoon in her mouth, receiving the best education possible.When Layla grew up, she became not only the most beautiful woman in Northrive but a learned one.Perhaps it was during the later years of her life that she crossed paths with Harold and got together with her.Despite her family’s objections, Layla went on to mar

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
