The Return of the War Legate Chapter 258
Isla stopped Adrian at the door right away.As a mother, she would instinctively protect her child and Adrian could understand why.Juno came out of the kitchen and pulled Isla to the side.“Mother, this is War Legate Draco. Don’t be rude to him.”“Please come in,” Juno said as she pulled Adrian into the house.“Juno…” Isla wanted to say something but stopped herself. She could not bring herself to stop her daughter upon seeing how happy she was.It had been a long time since Juno looked this happy.Adrian entered the house. Juno’s house was shabby but it was clean and tidy. The sofa was so old that it was tattered in various places but it could still be sat on.Juno showed Adrian to a sear and said to him smilingly, “Please sit here. I’ll go get you a coffee!”Adrian stood up. “It’s inconvenient for you to move around so you don’t have to get me anything. I won’t be here long.”“I’ll go get it then.” Isla headed to the kitchen to grab the pot of coffee.Juno was delighted b

Just as Adrian said, there was no better way to prove his identity than the medallion.There was no other unit or department in this world that could produce such a medallion other than Wyvern Peak.At this point, Isla suddenly bowed to Adrian.“War Legate Draco, in honor of my late husband, please help me,” Isla said as she cried.Adrian stretched out his hands and helped Isla to her feet. “Please sit. We can talk slowly.”“I’m begging you,” Isla pleaded.Adrian knew that Isla had something to tell him so he did not stop her. He simply asked, “What’s happening, ma’am?”Isla inhaled a deep breath. “I have cancer and don’t have long left to live.”Adrian was shocked upon hearing this.Juno, who was chopping vegetables in the kitchen, suddenly froze and felt no pain as the knife cut into her hand. She could vaguely hear the conversation in the living room.“How long have you known?” Adrian asked calmly.“A little over three months ago. I have late-stage lung cancer. According

Isla was startled by the commotion and Juno hastily came out of the kitchen.Adrian turned around and sized up the people who had entered the house.***“Ah? You have a visitor today, Isla? Is he your boy toy?“There’s a saying that widows are always up to no good. Are you playing with your boy toy and cheating on my eldest brother?”The burly man with a full beard was thirty-six years old, but he looked older than he was—like a man over forty.As soon as he entered the house, Isla quickly let go of Adrian’s hand, got to her feet, and said, “What are you doing here, Joshua? You’re not welcome here. Please leave.”The burly man’s name was Joshua Byrd and he was Juno’s second uncle. The woman next to him was Juno’s second aunt and her name was Heather Duran.Isla loathed them. She had received close to a million dollars in death gratuity from Wyvern Peak as compensation. Joshua and Heather had their eyes on the money so they worked with a swindler to cheat her of the money saying

“Get out!” Isla shouted as she pointed at the door.Joshua and Heather refused to leave, of course.Joshua said, “Sign the f*cking contract so I can acquire the land. I have a buyer willing to pay four hundred thousand dollars for it and I have the attorney with me. Hurry up and sign it. Stop dragging this out!”“I refuse!” Isla said in a fury.“You refuse huh? We’ll see!”As Heather spoke, she made her way to Isla in long strides, raised her hand, and proceeded to deliver a slap to Isla’s face.However, Adrian stopped the slap.Upon seeing Adrian stop her, Heather said angrily, “Who the f*ck are you? This is none of your business. Get out of my way!”Adrian loosened his grip over Heather and said to Juno, “Take your mother to get some rest and leave this to me.”Juno took Isla away.Adrian took a few steps forward and said, “If I’m not mistaken, you are Juno’s uncle, right?”He toward Joshua.“Who the heck are you?” Joshua asked angrily.“Who I am is not important,” Adria

Joshua and Heather were so terrified that they hastily backed away from the guns that were suddenly pointed at them.They had no choice but to step back inside the house. The door was shut from the outside as soon as they entered.The ambiance in the house changed drastically. Joshua and Heather were shaking and their faces were ghastly pale.Joshua said shakily, “I… Isla… How… How dare you report me to the police… Tell me, was the money not used for Juno’s treatment? Even though the treatment didn’t work, you were the one who wanted to give it a try, right?”Isla and Juno ignored him.Adrian said, “Enter.”The door opened and an entourage trooped into the house. “Sir!”Adrian beckoned and said, “Freeze Joshua, Heather, and all the other family members’ bank accounts. Have the department investigate the flow of the money and report back to me.”“Yes, sir!” The entourage answered and immediately exited the house.In reality, Adrian had already reached out to the department befo

Joshua broke down, as did Heather.Both of them bowed down and cried profusely. “We’re sorry! We were wrong. Please spare us. We’re begging you. We were wrong!”At this very moment, Joshua and Heather did not have the courage to behave arrogantly anymore. Both of them were almost driven to madness. If they had known that this would happen, they would not have had the courage to take the money no matter how bold they were.“Sir, please spare me. I’m begging. I’ve learned from my mistake.” Joshua bowed frantically.Heather was bawling.“Sir, please don’t kill me. I don’t want to die. Please set me free. I have a pretty face and I’ll sleep with you. You can do anything to me. Just don’t kill me. I’m begging you!”“It was all Joshua’s doing. I had nothing to do with it,” Heather said as she cried and pointed at her husband.There was a saying that a married couple would behave selfishly in the face of trouble, and this saying was reflected at this very moment.Heather and Joshua we

Rue and Samantha looked at each other. They were utterly confused over Adrian’s request.“What are you talking about, Adrian? Why are you asking Mother to foster a girl? Where did you suddenly come up with such an idea?” Samantha asked in puzzlement.Then, Adrian told them about Juno and her mother. Samantha was instantly saddened when she heard the sorrowful tale, and Rue, who was also a mother, felt agonized.How could a mother willingly leave her child? Had Samantha and Adaline not kept Rue company over the years when Adrian was not around, she would have lost her mind.“That’s the situation, Mother. Please give it some thought,” Adrian said to Rue when he was done with telling the story.Rue fell silent. After all, it was not a trivial matter to foster a child.“What’s your thought on this, Sam? Juno and her mother are rather pitiful. If Isla were to pass away, Juno would be left all alone without any family.“On the other hand, how far can a disabled girl go in life?”Rue

He turned around and said to Isla, “This is my mother. You can tell her everything that you want her to know about Juno. If you have no objections, I’ll be taking Juno today and I’ll send you to the hospital for treatment. You have to try to get better.”Adrian left after he was done speaking while Samantha and Rue stayed.Isla said to Rue, “Please take a seat, both of you. I’ll get you some water.”“Dear, we’re not thirsty. Take a seat and we’ll talk.” Rue stopped Isla.Isla nodded and took a seat opposite Rue. She then asked, “Dear, are you Adrian’s mother?”Rue said, “Yes. My name is Rue Blanchet, and just like you, my husband has passed away. However, I’ve been more fortunate in life.“Adrian told me about your family’s situation. I myself have a son and a daughter. My daughter is nineteen years old and she’s attending university now.”“That’s nice. My daughter is almost eighteen too,” Isla said.Rue smiled. Then, she remembered something and added, “Oh right, I forgot to i

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?

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
