The Return of the War Legate Chapter 237
“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

Adrian inhaled a deep breath and shut his eyes upon hearing Leonard’s answer.Riley shut her eyes as well.Adrian said, “Leonard, we have the same blood coursing through our veins. I thought that despite your awful personality, you’d never put Sam in harm’s way.“Looks like I was sorely mistaken. You attempted to kill your niece-in-law. That shows how malicious your heart is.”Adrian was deeply disappointed.Leonard instantly got on his knees upon hearing Adrian’s remark. He slapped himself over and over and said through his tears, “I’m the one in the wrong, Adrian. I’m shameless. I’m an animal.“I’ve disappointed Henry, and you even more, Adrian. But please give me a chance to change for the better. I'm begging you.“I’m begging you, Adrian.”Leonard began to bow repeatedly.Adrian thundered, “Stop him, Daniel!”Daniel nodded. He walked over and lifted Leonard to his feet as he said angrily, “Leonard, you shouldn’t be bowing to a junior member of your family no matter how mu

Riley was stunned.She felt as if she was in the middle of the world’s biggest joke.If Leonard and Wilfred had found out that Adrian was War Legate Draco from the start, they would most certainly have worshiped him like he was a god.However, they were utterly unaware of this fact, and hence, missed the best person that could have been a part of their lives.Was that not ridiculous?Riley smiled bitterly, shook her head, and walked out of the meeting room.***The same morning, Swallowston’s Paraiso was shut down by the Battle Warrior Department.Then, word spread across the whole of Swallowston.Jaden from Southrive’s River family had joined forces with Luposians and endangered Southrive. The Battle Warrior Department had already dealt with them. Luposia’s War Legate Hydra was killed by War Legate Draco in Paraiso’s office building.Soon after, Southrive’s Battle Warrior Department set out to detain the Rivers and they were subjected to legal treatment.Leonard and Wilfred

Harold did not speak but he nodded.“You knew huh?” Riley huffed.Harold nodded again.Riley inhaled a deep breath and said, “Grandfather, Sam is your granddaughter-in-law. You can scold her, but how could you bring yourself to have her killed?”Harold did not know how to answer her. He was utterly incapable of answering this question.Riley inhaled a deep breath and wiped her tears as she exclaimed, “Adrian is War Legate Draco!”The Xanders’ heads whipped up upon hearing this, including Harold.“What did you say, Riley?” Cecelia asked in astonishment.“Adrian is War Legate Draco. It was he who saved the hostages from the hotel the other day. It was also he who killed Luposia’s War Legate Hydra today.“You’ve made a horrible mistake, Grandfather. All of you did!”Cecilia’s jaw dropped.Faye’s mouth hung wide open, and so did Cedric’s and Jacob’s.Harold looked at Riley in a daze and said, “Repeat that, Riley… Did you say that Adrian is War Legate Draco? H-How is that possib
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 242
Harold made the decision to return to the old family home in Pane so they could live a normal life as Riley had requested.Riley lingered in Xander Manor for a long time before leaving.Meanwhile, Samantha was at home, laying in bed. She could barely sleep because Adrian had yet to come home since he left this morning, and she could not reach him by phone either.The Xanders were in trouble and the Battle Warrior Department had shut down Paraiso. Everything had happened too quickly.Samantha’s head was a chaotic mess. She had dark circles under her eyes when she woke up the next day.“Hasn’t Adrian come home, Sam?”Rue asked when Samantha got up for breakfast in the morning.Samantha shook her head and took a seat. “I don’t know where he is and he isn’t picking up his phone. It’s possible that he’s busy.”Rue took a seat and let out a sigh. “Your uncles-in-law were sent to prison and the Xanders are in trouble. There’s no telling what Paraiso's situation is now.“Where do you
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 243
Riley took over Leonard’s position to consolidate the Xander Group and became the topic of conversation for many businessmen in Swallowston.Samantha and Riley were busy handling the companies’ matters the entire day.At noon, Rue was tending to the laundry. Suddenly, someone walked into the front yard.Rue quickly spotted the man when she carried the laundry out to the yard to dry.“Father!” Rue dropped the laundry basket and hurried to his side.The person standing there was Harold.Rue made her way to him and said, “What brings you here, Father? Come. Come inside.”“No, no. I will not be going in.” Harold took a few steps back, his expression filled with embarrassment.He felt extremely remorseful and guilty toward Rue and was too ashamed to step foot into her home.Rue removed her apron and said, “Father, was it something that brought you here?”Rue felt as if Harold had changed. He appeared to have aged substantially and all his hair had turned gray.Harold nodded. He h

Rue stood frozen to the spot as she watched Harold walking away.She only recovered from her surprise when Harold’s departing silhouette vanished completely.She went back into the house and sat on the sofa. Her mind was filled with the things Harold had told her.Adrian was the war legate—the world-renowned “War Legate Draco!”Rue had never imagined this to be true. She had always assumed that her son was just an ordinary person, but in reality, his achievements had surpassed his father’s by a few fold.War Legate Draco!The moniker was a myth and a legend throughout all of Navia.Yet, Rue had now found out that this myth, this legend, was her son.She was astonished and had trouble making sense of all this. She could not calm down and did nothing all morning but sat on the sofa in quiet contemplation. She even forgot to feed herself.Adrian returned at noon.“I’m home, Mother. Is lunch ready?” Adrian asked as soon as he entered the house.However, he discovered that Rue wa

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
