The Return of the War Legate Chapter 188
After exiting the mall and stepping into the brightly-lit street, Samantha felt as though she was in a dream.She had a bag worth eighty-two thousand dollars in her hand that helped her regain her dignity after being insulted. She was having trouble getting accustomed to the situation.Next to her, Rue also felt a slight sting in her heart. ‘Eighty-two thousand dollars… That’s a whole lot of money!’“Where did you get so much money, Adrian? What happened back there?” Samantha asked, no longer able to contain the curiosity she felt inside.Of course, Samantha was overjoyed that Adrian had helped her regain her dignity. But the money spent as a result was just…However, Adrian simply looked at her and smiled. “I'll be honest. It took me years to accumulate all that money.”“What?”Samantha was shocked, while Rue looked at her son in confusion.“How did you manage to save that much money?” Rue asked.Adrian explained by saying, “As you both know, soldiers get paid quite well. I’v

“Thanks, sweetheart!” Adrian gladly accepted the money.“Hmph!” Samantha shot him a glare and continued, “All right, it’s getting late. Let’s hurry on to the hotel. I’m sure Riley and the others are there by now.”“Okay!”***Samantha, Adrian, and Rue soon arrived at the hotel, where they found Riley, Elara, and the management group had already been waiting for a while.When Elara and Riley saw Samantha walking in, their gazes immediately fell on her new LV bag.After all, women loved bags, especially branded ones.And now, they had a topic to talk about.When Elara found out that Adrian was the one who bought Samantha the bag, she brought out her own and compared it with Samantha’s. With a smile, Elara said, “Your husband must really love you. Unlike my own. He bought me this Channel bag, which is just a fake!”Elara was a thirty-two-year-old married woman who previously worked with Mandy. She would return to Mandy’s side after New Paraiso stabilized.Seeing Adrian chuckling

Barry suspected that the Rivers had been in contact with the Luposians for a very long time.This was why he had been tracking Jaden, wanting to investigate whether his theory was correct.‘I’m sure the legate will take me in as his apprentice if I find out the truth behind the Luposians’ infiltration!’After Jaden disappeared into the elevator, Barry took note of the floor Jaden got off and headed up the stairs.***Meanwhile, Jaden arrived at the topmost floor and entered the main hall after donning a set of heavy armor.“Jaden, you’re here.”A middle-aged man stood inside. He had a powerful, masculine temperament with the intimidating presence of a veteran fighter.Jaden shuddered when he saw him and said, “I’m really sorry the plan failed, War Legate Hydra. Something went wrong in Swallowston and War Legate Draco was here. Nobody saw this coming!”The man called War Legate Hydra squinted his eyes.Luposia’s military ranks reflected that of Navia—made up of ten battle warr

Hundreds of people began closing in on Barry from all corners.But the young man was as agile as a monkey, so much so that nobody was able to catch him. On top of that, any of the bodyguards who were not careful ended up being knocked to the ground by him.However, despite his nimble feet, Barry knew he could not stay there any longer and headed downstairs after making a few openings for himself.“Out of my way! Out of my way! D*mn it… Get out of my way if you value your life!” Barry yelled furiously as he flew down the stairs.The bodyguards that entered the stairs from the bottom floor quickly had Barry surrounded, but he sent them all flying with a single flying kick and continued his escape.“F*ck!” Jaden cursed when he saw this.“Why the hell am I paying you guys? Get him and beat him to death.“Don’t let him escape or we’re done for when he leaks our whereabouts.“Go, now!”The bodyguards relentlessly chased after Barry like madmen, causing him to rush downstairs at an e

Samantha and Rue were shocked upon hearing the gunshots.“Where did that come from?” Samantha reflexively turned toward the source of the sound.Rue panicked and said, “Now’s not the time, Sam. We need to get out of here.”Samantha quickly started up the car and was just about to drive off when Adrian suddenly grabbed the steering wheel.“Don’t move!”Samantha turned her head in confusion and asked, “Why not?”Adrian opened the door and got out. “Wait here. There’s surely something happening if there are gunshots this late at night. I’m going over there to check it out.”“Why are you going there? Are you crazy?!”“Get back here this instant, Adrian!”Rue and Samantha shouted but Adrian was so focused on the gunshots that he ignored them.He dashed off and disappeared into the distance. It was not until he was really far away that they noticed that he was already gone and had disappeared from their sight before they could say anything more.The women had no choice but to sit

“Do you think he got away, Mr. Jaden?” asked one of the bodyguards.“F*ck! He runs fast… Go, find him!” Jaden yelled, “He can’t be allowed to leave here alive!”After that, the group began searching for Barry once more.Adrian finally released his hand from Barry’s mouth when Jaden and the others were gone.Barry heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Sir, y-you have to arrest that guy. He’s Jaden Rivers from the River family from Southrive, and something’s fishy going on with that luxurious hotel of theirs!” Adrian simply looked Barry up and down. “Are you hurt?”Only then did Barry realize he had been shot in the back.“I…” Feeling the pain creeping up on him, Barry’s face turned extremely pale.“Didn’t I tell you to stay away? What were you doing there? The Battle Warrior Department will investigate this. You shouldn’t be meddling in their affairs.”After Adrian said that, he quickly brought Barry away from the roof.***Samantha and Rue had waited for approximately seven mi

Barry scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard this.Indeed, he had been too naive, but he was amazed at how calmly Adrian was able to analyze the situation.After getting Barry to the hospital, Adrian told Samantha and Rue to head home while he waited there. After the women had left, Adrian dialed Daniel’s number, asking him to bring a few men to where he was.Daniel and his men arrived at the hospital in under ten minutes.Adrian explained the situation to Daniel and the others at the hospital’s stairwell. “Find an inmate on death row and execute him. After that, put Barry’s clothes on the body and leave it on the alley’s roof.“Someone should find it soon enough and report it to the department. Make sure that Jaden is aware and thinks that the man from last night is dead.”Adrian did this because he wanted Jaden and the Luposians to lower their guard.Daniel nodded upon receiving his instructions and said, “Understood, sir.”“Arrange for a few men to pay a visit to

“Okay, I promise.”“I want you to swear that you’ll cut all ties to the Xanders. What am I supposed to do if this thing blows up in our faces?”Samantha was still worried about the Xanders. ‘If the Rivers are in cahoots with the Luposians, I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before the Xanders get into trouble.‘Adrian, being Harold’s grandson, might end up being dragged into their mess.’Adrian knew that Samantha was concerned about him, so he replied, “Don’t worry, sweetheart. I haven’t had anything to do with the Xanders for a long time now. As of this moment, you’re the only one in my heart. Nothing else matters.”“Stop with that sweet talk.” Samantha scowled.“Okay, okay.” Adrian quickly switched his train of thought.Samantha burst out in laughter and shot Adrian another glare. “Hurry up and go shower. You stink. Also… Come sleep with me tonight.”Samantha’s voice was really low during that last sentence, and her face had turned red all the way down to her neck.She had

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
