The Return of the War Legate Chapter 231
“You’re not welcomed here, Adrian,” Leonard and Wilfred said.Ignoring them, Adrian pulled out a chair and sat down, while Riley stood quietly by his side.After sitting down, Adrian picked up a copy of the documents before him and looked through them. ‘These must be Paraiso’s latest operation plans.’Seeing this, Wilfred and Leonard exchanged looks, confused as to what Adrian was planning to do.Meanwhile, Jaden rested against his chair and was all smiles. He was actually curious about what Adrian planned to do.At that moment, Leonard asked, “Why have you brought him here, Riley? Get him out of here this instant!”Riley replied, “You’ve become the most powerful shareholder ever since you obtained all of Paraiso’s shares from Grandfather. Do you still not see what’s happening here?”“What are you trying to say, Riley?” Leonard asked in a furious tone.Riley chose to remain silent, knowing that Leonard would not listen to a word she said at that moment. After all, both Wilfred

Leonard became enraged when he saw how adamant Riley was.He became so infuriated with his daughter that he desperately wanted to walk up to her and give her a slap.However, before he could act on his thoughts, Adrian finished reading the documents before him and raised his head. Looking at Jaden, he said, “You’re Jaden Rivers, correct? Answer me this. What kind of status do you think the Rivers hold in Southrive at the moment?”Adrian put down the documents and prepared himself for a major discussion with Jaden.Not expecting Adrian to ask such a thing, Jaden laughed and said, “Is that even a valid question? The Rivers are the most powerful family in Southrive right now. My grandfather can not only bring about huge changes to the place, but he can even cause its economy to tremble with a single word.“The Rivers are considered to be a large family, with my relatives spread across all of Southrive. All it would take is a single order and we can instantly become the face of Southr

Jaden sneered and continued, “If you ask me, I’m afraid I’ll end up killing your entire family if you fail to kill me. I’ve been hoping to get my hands on both your wife and your little sister for a really long time.”Surprisingly, Adrian was not enraged when he heard this. Riley, on the other hand, was so infuriated that she desperately hoped to kill Jaden right where he was. Yet, Adrian stayed so calm that others seemed to have ignored his presence.‘How could he be so calm after hearing all that?’ Riley wondered.Riley chose not to say anything since Adrian did not seem the least bit angry. She wanted to see what Adrian was going to do next.“Didn’t you say you were going to kill me, b*stard? What’s stopping you?” Jaden asked once more when he saw Adrian remain silent.Once again, Adrian refused to answer his question. Instead, he turned to look at Riley. “What time is it?”Riley took a look at her watch and replied, “It’s almost eleven.”Hearing this, Adrian went back to bei

Hydra needed to live like an ordinary citizen if he wanted to execute his grand scheme in Swallowston, and Paraiso was to be his base of operations.Hence, Jaden’s plan was to help Hydra secure a foothold within Swallowston.If Hydra had a company here, he would be able to become a legal citizen of Swallowston instead of having to live in hiding.Everyone inside the boardroom could sense Hydra’s extraordinary presence when he walked in.He exuded the temperament of a powerful veteran—a fearless one for that matter.Even Riley could not stop herself from taking a few steps back at the sight of this ferocious man.***“War Legate Hydra…”Jaden smiled and turned around, introducing the people within. “This is Leonard and Wilfred from the Xander family. A minor mishap has happened here today… Adrian, the son of this company’s late owner, is here.“But don’t worry, sir. I’ll handle this!”‘War Legate Hydra?’ Leonard and WIlfred were both confused when they heard this.“Who is thi

“Jaden tricked me, Riley. You have to believe me,” Leonard said in a panic to his tearful daughter.Riley had been constantly advising Leonard of what was happening, but he just would not listen to her.Crying, Riley said, “What else do you think is going to happen now, Father? You two should confess to your sins at the Battle Warrior Department later and hope that you’ll get a lighter sentence!”“I-I…”Both Leonard and Wilfred were completely dumbfounded, trembling away at what they just heard.Meanwhile, Jaden laughed uproariously and said, “None of you are getting away with this. Leonard, Wilfred, we’re now on the same side, which means you’re my accomplices. In other words, it won’t be easy for either of you to get away scot-free.”“I’m going to f*cking kill you!” Leonard yelled as he charged toward Jaden.However, a bodyguard stepped out and threw Leonard onto the floor.“Father!” Riley yelled and ran over, helping Leonard back to his feet.Leonard yelled, “I trusted you,

“Ah, Draco huh?” Jaden said dismissively as he sniggered.‘This man’s not that impressive.’However, Jaden’s expression changed drastically when he suddenly realized something. “What? You’re known as Draco?”Jaden was so shocked that he abruptly took a few steps back. He raised his head and froze where he stood.‘Draco?’ he felt a shiver travel down his spine. ‘What Draco?’Jaden was astonished. And it was not just him. Leonard and Wilfred, too, abruptly raised their heads as well. They stared at Adrian who was seated on the chair.Riley looked dumbfounded as well as her gaze landed on Adrian.‘His moniker is Draco? Why does that name sound so familiar?’Everyone in the room was familiar with this name. It belonged to the highest-level leader of Wyvern Peak—War Legate Draco, who was the finest war legate in all of Navia.All at once, the boardroom fell deathly silent. Everyone stared at Adrian in shock and was so astonished that they could not utter a single word.On the othe

“I am Thor.”“Zagan.”“Serpent.”“Magus.”“Awaiting orders, War Legate Draco!” Daniel and the other four people said in unison.Jaden was shaking violently and he was immensely shocked upon hearing this greeting. He broke down and instantly got on his knees. He was so hopeless and terrified that tears were streaming down his face.Leonard was astounded, and so was Wilfred.‘War Legate Draco? Adrian truly is War Legate Draco!’The siblings broke down too.Their nephew Adrian was the renowned War Legate Draco.“Oh god!”“What has the family done?”Leonard and Wilfred were beating their chests in anguish and crying profusely. They were filled with boundless remorse at this very moment.Riley stood by with her little mouth hanging wide open in shock. She never imagined that Adrian would be someone so powerful.***The boardroom fell silent once again.Jaden’s face was drenched in tears as he knelt on the ground.Leonard and Wilfred were sobbing audibly with their mouths ag

One arm?Everyone was stupefied.Hydra inhaled sharply and said as he stared at Adrian, “You’re quite the talker, Draco. I’d like to see how you’re going to fight me, a war legate, with just one arm.”Adrian smiled.“Step back, Riley,” he said.Riley acknowledged with an “ah” and quickly went to stand behind him.At this very moment, Adrian started exuding an overbearingness that made any ordinary person fear him.The fight was about to break out in the boardroom at any moment.Hydra let out an angry grunt before he threw a punch at Adrian as if he could not bear to be insulted. His fist was known for breaking boulders in Luposia and his moniker of Hydra was well-known across the country. In fact, he was Luposia’s pride and glory.The pride of Luposia, War Legate Hydra, launched a ferocious attack at Navia’s War Legate Draco.However, a thud followed by a muffled groan was heard before everyone could ascertain what had happened. Then, Hydra, who was charging toward Adrian ear

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.

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
