The Return of the War Legate Chapter 151
Despite how invincible Cedric thought he was, someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stopped him before he could lay his hand on Mandy.What followed right after was a muffled sound and a loud crack, followed by Cedric’s horrified scream as he was sent flying. In that instant, his hips and ribs fractured as he crashed against a table.When he landed on the ground, he had his hand on his hips as his mouth widened in shock.He was in so much pain that he could not even say a word as his body trembled uncontrollably. In fact, he felt as though he was about to pass out from the endless pain.“Father… Father!” Cedric forced himself to yell out. He gasped for air as tears flooded his cheeks.Instantly, all the Xanders were stunned.After Cedric was sent flying, everyone could clearly see Adrian was now standing before Mandy and Samantha.Samantha immediately felt a lump rise up to her chest, while Mandy heaved a sigh of relief.“Adrian, y-you… You ungrateful piece of sh*t! How

Daniel’s appearance caused a commotion to break out in the main hall.Everyone pointed at the Xanders and discussed among themselves.None of the Xanders could have ever thought the Battle Warrior Department would show up over something so meager. Every single one of them quietly left the place without making a scene, none of them daring to utter a single word in the process.Very soon, they were all out of the main hall, and Samantha was finally able to heave a long sigh of relief as though a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.Adrian then walked over and grabbed her hand. “Are you all right, Sam?”Samantha shook her head. ‘Thank goodness he arrived just in time. Otherwise, Mandy would’ve ended up taking that slap for me.’“I’m all right now. What are you doing here? Didn’t you say you have something to do?” Samantha asked.‘I came as soon as I was done.”Then, Adrian turned to Mandy and said, “Thank you for everything you’ve done today, Mandy.”Mandy shot a smile

Violet loved hearing news about Samantha.Especially if it was bad news.She raised her head and asked, “Is this true, Nathan? Did something really happen during her opening ceremony?”Hugo replied, “Harold Xander brought his entire family and rained on her parade. They even accused her of being the one behind Henry’s death.“But in the end, Adrian broke Cedric’s ribs and the Battle Warrior Department arrived at the scene. The whole Xander family got kicked out after that.”Violet inhaled sharply when she heard this.‘Adrian broke Cedric’s ribs?‘That’s brutal, and they’re cousins!’Shocked, Violet asked, “Did Adrian really do something so ruthless?”Hugo replied, “That’s not the worst part of it. I heard he broke both Cedric's and Jacob’s legs a few days ago. And now, Cedric got his ribs broken before his legs even healed.“Adrian’s a violent madman!”Hearing this, Violet said, “I want you to inform everyone in our family right away. None of them are allowed to do anything

The couple chatted throughout the entire journey home.This was the first time they were able to chat so freely after not seeing each other over the past seven years, although Samantha was the one who did most of the talking.As she drove, she told Adrian all kinds of stuff that had happened. Slowly, but surely, the barriers that were between them slowly tore apart until they were completely gone.As an understanding woman, Samantha was no longer as cold toward her husband as she was before.Samantha said a lot of stuff during their journey. From the rough times she had been through at Xander Manor, to how she originally loved playing the piano, going to the gym, and going for runs.After that, she told him what she wanted to do in the future. It was at this moment Adrian found out what Samantha had thought to herself this whole time.If possible, she wanted to give Adrian two children—a son and a daughter. Then, she would hand over New Paraiso to their son to take over.Samanth

With her lips pursed, Samantha put down the photo and said, “I’m very touched that you’ve kept my photo with you for so long, but can you answer my question please?”She still wanted to hear Adrian saying those three magical words to her.But instead, he said, “I’d like to tell you a story before I answer your question.”Samantha nodded.At that moment, Adrian took off his shirt, revealing his ripped and toned muscles.Samantha immediately covered her mouth. However, she did not cover them because of his muscles. It was because of the scars made by blades and bullets that she saw.There were even some scars that were really close to his heart.At that moment, Samantha’s tears rolled down her cheeks.“Adrian, what happened…”She felt pain-stricken at the sight of the scars, unable to imagine just how much pain and hurt Adrian had suffered. After all, this man was her husband.“Seven years ago, Harold sent me to become a part of the border patrol, hoping I’d die there. All of t

The husband and wife chatted for a long while on the drive.They got home at midnight, and Rue was already asleep.Samantha grabbed her nightgown and headed for the shower.***Meanwhile, Cedric, who had his ribs broken, was lying in one of the wards of Southrive Hospital. His breathing sounded extremely weak due to his recent surgery.The rest of the Xanders were standing around in the room with furious expressions on their faces, especially Leonard. He was filled with boundless anger.Leonard paced back and forth in the room and roared, “Adrian is a f*cking b*stard! I’m going to kill him! I will kill him! I will not let him get away! Never!”Leonard was extremely shocked and furious that his son had been severely injured. He wished he could commission a few people to kill Adrian right there and then.“Calm down and cool your head, Leonard,” Wilfred said upon seeing Leonard’s angered state.“My son was beaten to this extent and even has a few broken ribs. He’ll need a year or

Leonard’s brows furrowed when he saw Riley.Wilfred said in a sarcastic tone, “Riley, you’re on Adrian’s side now. Why do you still care if your brother survives or not?”“Riley, look at how badly Adrian beat up your brother. Aren’t you angry?” said Cecelia in tears upon seeing her daughter.“Get out of here! I don’t have a disappointing daughter like you!” Leonard roared and pointed at the door.Riley pursed her lips. In truth, she was here to try to persuade her family again.She said, “Father, Uncle Wilfred, Grandfather, I have something to tell you, and I hope that you will think it over carefully. The truth is that Adrian isn’t the person you imagine him to be. He didn’t come back to seize Paraiso either.But all you’ve done is humiliate him over and over since his return. Nobody in his shoes would be able to put up with that.“I think all of you should reach out to him to apologize and treat him better in the future. After all, he’s family too. Is it wrong to live together
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 158
The next day, Leonard and Wilfred met up with Jaden.They wanted to get him to mobilize the Rivers’ resources to deal with Adrian and Samantha.Jaden pondered for a bit upon finding out Leonard and Wilfred’s intentions.He asked, “Mr. Leonard, are you incapable of dealing with someone as lowly as Samantha?”Leonard and Wilfred sighed upon hearing that.“Mr. Jaden, it’s not that we’re incapable of dealing with her but our family is affiliated with Adrian to a certain extent. I’m afraid that the others will gossip about us if we were to deal with her,” said Leonard in frustration.Jaden chuckled. “I understand, Mr. Leonard. So you’re trying to get someone else to take out Samantha, right?“The thing is, I can’t find it within myself to kill her because she’s so beautiful.”Leonard said, “Mr. Jaden, Samantha is by no means a great beauty. Swallowston may not have much but there are plenty of beautiful girls here. One less Samantha will be nothing.“Mr. Jaden, you’re investing in

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.

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
