The Return of the War Legate Chapter 178
Barry sniggered. ‘I knew I was quick-witted!’He caught up to Adrian and said, “Sir, I’ve admired you for a long time and I wish to seek your mentorship. Will you take me as your apprentice?”Adrian simply smiled and ignored the lad.Barry hastily added, “Sir, I’m not seeking to learn for nothing. I have information to offer in exchange!”Adrian checked the time and said as he continued to walk, “You have thirty seconds.”“I know how the Luposians entered the country,” Barry said hastily.Adrian came to a halt when he heard Barry’s words.Barry staggered and bumped into him.Adrian turned around and asked, “How did they enter the country?”Barry said, “I do not have solid evidence, but I do have a theory. The case of Luposians entering Southrive is closely related to Southrive’s River family.“The Rivers have a business deal with the Luposians and it is said that the Rivers profited a few million dollars from the deal.“You have to believe me, sir!”Barry chattered endlessl

Barry’s goal was to seek the legate’s mentorship.Yet, Adrian turned around and made a hand gesture for Barry to stop walking. He then said, “Your mother is calling you to go home for dinner. It’s good to have dreams, kid, but not all dreams can be achieved.“Stop following me.”Barry stood rooted to the ground as Adrian walked further and further away.As he gazed at Adrian’s departing silhouette, Barry called out, “Sir, I’ll show you my true capabilities and will solve the Luposia case for you!”Adrian ignored him because there were plenty of boastful people in the world these days.***“Huh? Aren’t you Barry?”Meanwhile, an Audi A4 drove up and stopped next to Barry.Samantha rolled down the window and looked at Barry standing by the sidewalk in puzzlement.She remembered the young man rather well because of how carefree he had seemed when he was being held hostage yesterday. He had a calmness that surpassed everyone else.Barry was surprised to see Samantha. “Why, hello,

Barry was startled by the unexpected change of situation.He began to struggle using his arms and legs. However, the person was extremely strong and he could not break free.The person only loosened their grip after Barry was dragged into the park.Barry immediately said in anger when he could speak, “Hey, there’s no bad blood between us and I don’t have any money on me. You’ve got the wrong guy…“Huh? Sir?”Barry was astonished when he saw who it was that had dragged him here.Adrian had his hands in his pockets as he stared at Barry.Barry felt a shiver down his spine and was at a loss of what to do under Adrian’s stare.Meanwhile, Adrian said, “Boy, if you dare to bring up the words ‘war legate’ to my wife and address her as Madam Legate ever again, I will punish you.”Adrian had witnessed the exchange between Samantha and Barry.The young man was constantly addressing Samantha as Madam Legate, which would eventually trigger her suspicions. Hence, Adrian took Barry to the

“Yes, sir!” Daniel answered.Beowulf heard the remark and roared, “You can’t do this to me, Legate! I’m the battle warrior of Luposia and should be allowed dignity! Just kill me right now!”Adrian chuckled and said, “Your dignity is worthless to me. Northrive Supermax is famous throughout the country. I don’t have the time to toy with you even if you want me to.“However, the warden there has plenty of time.”Northrive Supermax was a high-security prison built in a primitive forest.The most dangerous, malicious criminals and crime bosses of other countries were imprisoned there.No one knew the exact location of the supermax.Once the order was given, Beowulf was instantly taken away.Meanwhile, Adrian looked toward Mya and Daniel as he said, “Mya, Daniel, watch Southrive’s River family. I met someone today who claimed to have seen the Rivers unloading cargo at the port one night with Luposians at the scene.“Look into it and inform me immediately if you find anything.”“Yes

Harold, Leonard, and Wilfred were instantly infuriated when they saw Adrian entering the mansion.They bottled to their feet in unison.Leonard pointed at Adrian and shouted, “Who gave you permission to enter, Adrian?! Get out of here right now!”Adrian glanced at Leonard and made his way toward Harold.He did not sit down but he said, “Grandfather, the Xanders have been rather close with Southrive’s River family recently. I’m here today to tell you…”“What do you have to tell me?” asked Harold nonchalantly with a cold expression.“I would like to tell you that the Battle Warrior Department has linked the Luposia incident yesterday to the Rivers. I recommend you keep a distance from the Rivers in the upcoming days. If they are found to have committed treachery, your family will be affected too.“I know a thing or two about this situation so don’t say I didn’t warn you if things go south.”Upon saying that, Adrian turned around and left, leaving the Xanders with no chance to sco

“Block A of Alcyoneus Tower is one of the best locations in Swallow Central. It seems the department thinks highly of you,” Adrian remarked.“That’s right. That is a good location indeed. Swallow Central will be the busiest place in Swallowston when it opens. It’s just that…”“What is it?”“The name ‘Alcyoneus’ is rather old-fashioned, isn’t it? Why does the department give it such a name? Alcyoneus Tower? That sounds so lame!” Samantha could not refrain from complaining.Adrian smiled and poured Samantha a glass of water.He said, “Sit, Sam. Let me tell you the origin story of Alcyoneus Tower.”Samantha was astonished. ‘The tower has an origin story?’She hastily asked, “What’s the story?”Adrian answered, “Alcyoneus is a moniker used by the commander of the Gigantes Squadron, General Conrad Lowe. Gigantes was one of the best squadrons based in Southrive’s battle warrior headquarters.“In one of his battles, Alcyoneus was encircled by his enemies and was separated from the ma

Samantha had not expected Adrian to have such vast knowledge related to the Battle Warrior Department.It made her realize his strong points.They chatted for a while more until Samantha stood up and said, “All right. Enough with the chit-chat. Go get ready. We’re going out to eat tonight.“Riley, Elara, and the others have decided to hold a celebratory dinner tonight for New Paraiso’s move into Swallow Central. We can go after I’ve taken a shower.”Samantha was in a good mood today. She was happy that New Paraiso had gotten a spot in Swallow Central.Adrian nodded.Samantha said to Rue. “Come with us, Mother!”Rue gladly accepted the invite.***Samantha headed out with Adrian and Rue at eight in the evening after getting ready.She had instructed Elara and Riley to book a reservation at the hotel’s restaurant.The attendees of tonight’s dinner were the members of Mandy’s management team so it was rather important for Samantha.She realized that they had some time to spare

Samantha picked up a few bags to get a closer look and feel of them.Suddenly, her attention was drawn to a beautifully-designed LV bag. It was love at first sight.She stretched out her hand and picked up the bag to have a closer look.As she was inspecting it, a loud shout rang out, “What are you doing?! Put down that bag right now!”Samantha was so startled by the unexpected voice that she accidentally dropped the LV bag on the ground.“Oh my god!” a raging shout came from nearby.Samantha was scared out of her wits and quickly snatched up the bag in a panic.“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I’m really sorry about that!” Samantha hastily apologized.A woman wearing a name tag identifying her as the store manager walked over with a cold, angry expression on her face.The woman’s name was Shuri Jung and was the manager of the store.Shuri walked over and snatched the bag from Samantha’s hand.“Have you lost your f*ck*ng mind?! Do you know how much this bag costs?! Can you even f*ck*n

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
