The Return of the War Legate Chapter 161
Adrian should not be involved in this matter yet he had no choice because Lucas was not currently in Swallowston.At this point, he asked, “Beowulf has gone too far this time. I wonder how he’ll react when he finds out I’m in Swallowston.“Prepare to receive orders!”Everyone stood to attention as soon as Adrian’s voice died away.He instructed, “Mya, Magus. Lead a troop to surround the hotel and negotiate with Beowulf to the best of your abilities. Agree to everything he proposed to buy me some time.”“Yes, sir!” Mya answered.“Daniel, Thor, Zagan, Serpent. Take a few men with each of you and wait for my order to descend on the hotel’s rooftop for an encirclement.”“Yes, sir!” the four answered.Mya asked, “Sir, what about the hostages?”Adrian grabbed a military uniform that was passed to him and put it on. He covered his entire body with the uniform, revealing only his eyes.As he put on the uniform, he said, “Wait for my orders. I’ll sneak into the hotel and disarm Beowul

Rat-tat-tat!Sounds of gunshots, people roaring, and people's screams echoed through the hotel.Fully-armed men showed up from all directions. They barricaded the windows and locked the main entrance. All of them were carrying full-loaded weapons.Samantha’s entire body was shaking because she had never experienced a situation like this.Yet, she realized that she and everyone else here had been taken prisoner.They would be regarded as hostages and would be put in imminent danger.***“Everyone, gather in the first-floor lobby, get on your f*cking knees, and put your hands behind your heads!”The roaring voices continued.The sound of messy footsteps was constantly heard.Samantha, some hotel staff, and other guests were forced to go to the first-floor lobby. More than two hundred people were already gathered there. They were on their knees with their hands behind their heads, trembling in fear.Samantha was placed among these people and she got on her knees, not daring to

The young man said, “My name is Barry Cole and I’m from Southrive.”Samantha said, “I’m not in the mood to make acquaintances. You’re a man. Shouldn’t you be figuring out what we should do now?”A few people around them looked toward Barry as well.A middle-aged man said, “These Luposians are here for Battle Warrior Lucas. Only he can come and have us released.”Barry shook his head. “Don’t even dream about it. To my knowledge, Sir Lucas left Swallowston two days ago. I heard he was sent on a mission or something. General Daniel, who works for Lucas, is the one guarding Swallowston right now.“General Daniel may be a good warrior but he isn’t a good leader. We’ll have to depend on our luck to stay alive.”Upon hearing Barry’s remark, Samantha said, “What do you mean? Did you say that Sir Lucas isn’t in Swallowston? In that case, won’t we all die here?”“That’s right, my friend. But don’t make blind conjectures because I’m still hoping to stay alive.”“Stop talking nonsense, boy
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 164
The shouting drew the attention of the people near the hotel.All at once, many passersby surrounded the hotel and listened to the voices coming from inside.After the remark was repeated several times, the people outside finally realized that Luposians had gained control over the hotel and the hostages inside were in dire need of the Battle Warrior Department’s rescue.Then, several people pulled out their phones and called the Battle Warrior Department for help.Ten minutes later, Beowulf’s subordinate walked over to him and said, “Sir, I believe that Lucas’ Battle Warrior Department is aware of our existence. It shouldn’t be long before they get here.”“Very well,” Beowulf said, “Wolfgang, Wolfhard, Wolfram, Adalwolf, come forward.”Four people made their way to Beowulf. They were the four great exterminators who served under him.Beowulf gave the order by saying, “Wolfgang, keep careful guard over the rooftop. I suspect that Lucas and his men will land from the air there.“

Soon after, the garage of the Battle Warrior Department opened up and more than ten armored vehicles filled with fully-armed warriors drove out.They rushed over to the Swallowston Business Hotel.Meanwhile, Daniel walked out leading the troops of the department.Upon spotting him, the crowd surrounded him. Their faces were drenched in tears and some were even bowing to him.“Mr. Daniel, my daughter is trapped in the hotel. She’s only twenty-three and is still unmarried. Please save her! I’m begging you!”“Mr. Daniel, my son is an employee of the hotel. He’s trapped in there. Please save him, Mr. Daniel!”“Mr. Daniel, please save my husband. I’m begging you!”Hundreds of people surrounded him.All of a sudden, they bowed down in unison with tears streaming down their faces.Daniel inhaled a deep breath upon witnessing the situation and boomed, “Please calm down, everyone. be at ease. The Luposians have taken control of the hotel and the Battle Warrior Department will most cert

In less than ten minutes, everyone’s attention turned toward the hotel.Various media outlets and reporters hurried over to find out what was happening. Even drones could even be seen hovering from above.The battle warrior army led by Mya and Magus instantly had the place surrounded, shocking the whole of Southrive.Reporters were standing in front of their respective cameras, swiftly reporting the situation in real-time.The citizens took out their cell phones and laptops, or even turned on their televisions, to follow the latest news.A female reporter said, “This morning, a group of Luposians infiltrated the Swallowston Business Hotel and took more than two hundred people hostage. Right now, the Battle Warrior Department has surrounded the place with armored helicopters and vehicles. According to reliable sources, War Legate Draco will be personally leading the charge.”Meanwhile, Rue trembled as she sat on the sofa watching the news, her hands tightly clenching the armrest.

“Look! He’s here!” someone suddenly shouted.Everyone turned their attention to the screen and saw that the cameras were aimed outside the hotel’s main entrance. They then saw a man, clad in so much armor you could only see his eyes, jump out of an armored vehicle.There were two warriors next to him, Mya and Magus.“Is that him? It’s too bad we can’t see his face.”“As if a man like him would let us see it.”“She’s right. Still, he seems really young.”The students continued to chatter away, while Adaline turned around toward Suzy and Shiloh, who were seated next to her. “Is that him? Is that my brother?”The twins nodded. “Yes, that’s him. His temperament is undeniable.”Adaline pursed his lips.Instead of becoming a businessman like her father, Adrian had become a warrior in an iron suit who would protect and defend their country.Inside, Adaline felt proud of her brother.***After Adrian got out of the armored vehicle outside the hotel, he gestured toward Mya and she n

Beowulf was slightly infuriated.He had come to Swallowston to see Lucas. Even going so far as to infiltrate a hotel just to lure him out. They had planned to hold him hostage and kill him after leaving the border, making it a near-perfect plan.However, Beowulf had not accounted for the fact that his enemies would ask him to wait for six hours because Lucas was not in Swallowston.‘Six hours… Too many uncertainties could happen during that time. What if something happens over the next six hours?’Meanwhile, Mya was not a woman who would accept being threatened, so she angrily said, “I understand what you’re saying, Beowulf. I guarantee you Battle Warrior Lucas will be here in six hours, but that’s how long you’re going to have to wait before you get to see him.”Beowulf was so infuriated he took a deep breath.At that moment, Wolfram stepped up and said, “We can’t stay and wait, sir. I say we kill the hostages right now if Lucas refuses to show up. Let’s show them we mean busine

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
