The Return of the War Legate Chapter 195
“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

Samantha slept fitfully.It was most probably due to Adrian’s company.Samantha discovered that she was lying in Adrian’s arms when she woke up the next morning and her head was on Adrian’s arm.Her face blushed ever so slightly and she hastily sat up. She was afraid that Adrian would wake up and tease her.Samantha took a shower and put on a business suit. She went to wake Adrian after she was done.“Wake up.” She shook him gently.Adrian woke up and rubbed his eyes. His eyes lit up when he saw Samantha standing in front of him.The sight of her was breathtaking to him. She had a button nose and cherry-red lips and exuded a mature presence. Anyone who laid eyes upon her would not be able to help but stare at her because of her beautiful face which looked great from all angles.Adrian was no exception, of course.“Are you a fairy?” Adrian asked in a surprised tone.“What nonsense. Get up, quick. Mother has prepared breakfast.” Samantha glared at him.Adrian was becoming more

On the other hand, Adrian asked, “Who’s Danton Black?”Adrian wondered why he had encountered a number of people with the last name “Black” recently.Samantha explained, “Danton is from the Herbalis Group that belongs to Swallowston’s Black family. He’s also the father of Simon Black, Clara’s fiance.”Adrian was enlightened. ‘I see. It’s Simon’s father.’“Elara, please set him up in the reception room and I’ll be there shortly,” Samantha instructed Elara.“Sure!” Elara hurried off upon saying that.Adrian said to Samantha, “I don’t think Simon’s father is a good man. Have you met him to talk about collaborating before?”Samantha shook her head. “No. However, we can’t be biased just because he’s Simon’s father. Perhaps Danton is completely different from his son. He is the president of Herbalis, after all.“Herbalis is a pharmaceutical company. The medical field has always harbored good prospects and New Paraiso will be expanding to pharmaceuticals in the future.”Adrian nodded

Samantha was taken aback upon hearing Danton’s request.She said, “I’m unaware that my father-in-law left behind any information when he was still alive. I have no clue about this.”Samantha shook her head. She knew that Henry had been in the pharmaceutical business in the past, yet she had no idea that he had made any sort of breakthrough.“Samantha, you were still young at that time so it’s understandable that you don’t know about it,” said Danton.Then, he added, “Adrian and you were probably eleven or twelve when Henry was involved in this. His research lasted for seven years so he must have discovered something important.“Even though we have yet to develop a special medicine that can cure cancer at this point, I believe that Henry can help us avoid taking detours and shorten the timeline by a few years.“We need that data.”Samantha was very surprised and said, “Mr. Danton, I do not have the slightest clue about this matter. However, even if Henry did leave behind that kin

“Sure, we can ask her,” answered Adrian.Samantha silently ruminated over the matter.***Soon, it was time to get off work after bustling about in New Paraiso for the day.Samantha and Adrian went home eagerly.Dinner was almost done. Rue would have dinner prepared on time almost every day so that her son and daughter-in-law could eat as soon as they got home. She would cook different types of dishes every day and would always be thinking up new recipes.Samantha said to Rue over dinner, “Mother, I have something to ask you and I hope you will answer me truthfully.”“What is it, Sam?” Rue asked.“Did Father-in-law set up a scientific research team to find a cure for cancer in the past?” Samantha asked eagerly.Rue’s hand trembled upon hearing this. She instantly grew restless and replied brusquely, “Sam, why are you asking about this?”Sensing that there was something off about Rue’s expression, Samantha hastily said, “What do you know about it, Mother? Tell me.”“Sam, I do

Rue never expected that this matter from all those years to be brought up again someday.The majority of the participants from that time had already vanished without a trace.Rue kept the matter to herself and she was not prepared to tell anyone about it. Yet, she had not expected Danton would pay a visit to Samantha and ignite her curiosity like a fuse lighter.“Tell us, Mother!” Adrian could not refrain from saying again after seeing Rue’s miserable state.Rue wiped away her tears and said, “Your father told me to keep this matter to myself before he passed away. Adaline and you are absolutely not allowed to investigate this matter.“Adrian, there’s an influential person involved in this matter that we can’t afford to offend or contend with. Even if I were to tell you, you won’t be able to find him.”Adrian said, “I will mobilize the ten battle warriors and turn over all of Navia if I have to. Those who I seek won’t be able to run away for long. Just tell me!”Rue wiped her te

Adrian inhaled a deep breath upon hearing Rue’s story.Samantha shut her eyes as well. It was said that Henry had passed away from an illness but she had not expected that this was how he had gotten sick.Then, Rue said, “Henry hid some data and information before his passing. Afterward, the lab was dissolved and the nursing home was deserted. Je told me not to tell you about this incident.”“What else did he say?” asked Adrian.“Your father said that Mr. V is a very powerful man and that we’re no match for him. Hence, I did not tell you about this so you won’t try to seek revenge.”“Where’s Richie then? Where did Richie go afterward?” asked Samantha. Rue shook her head. “Richie went missing after his deal with Mr. V. I don’t know why Mr. V didn’t utilize the recipe when he acquired it. It’s possible that the recipe contained some sort of error but there’s been no news about it until today.”Rue wondered, “It’s possible that Mr. V didn’t use the medicine because he discovered t

Danton was extremely astonished upon receiving Samantha’s call.He suggested Samantha call the Battle Warrior Department immediately to open up an investigation. Other than that, he expressed his willingness to help her in investigating this matter.However, Samantha did not call up the department for fear that it would affect Adrian’s mood.***Samantha barely slept that night.Early morning the next day, Adrian was already gone by the time she woke up.Samantha washed up quickly and drove out to chase after Adrian. She knew that he must be heading to the nursing home.Rue’s expression showed that she was in agony as she looked at her son and daughter-in-law leaving in succession.Her husband had never rested in peace all this time.She could no longer hide the truth that Henry had made her promise to not tell anyone. She had no idea how the future would turn out now that the truth was out.Meanwhile, Adrian was on his way to Swallowston Nursing Home.Samantha was already g

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
