The Return of the War Legate Chapter 327
As she spoke, Joanna pulled Samantha to the car and opened the back door before pushing Samantha into the backseat.Joanna crawled onto Samantha and pouted her pink lips in preparation to kiss Samantha.Samantha was startled and she hastily smacked Joanna in a panic. “Stop fooling around, Jojo. Th-there’s someone here with us!”“Someone? Who?” Joanna was puzzled.She turned her head and her gaze landed on Adrian, who was eyeing the two women suspiciously, seated in the passenger seat.“Yikes!” Joanna was startled and her face instantly went red as a tomato. She hastily loosened her grip over Samantha.Samantha’s face was just as red. She quickly tidied up her outfit before clearing her throat.Joanna said, “Who’s this man, Sam? What the heck are you looking at? Have you never seen two besties being affectionate?”Out of shock, Adrian did not know how to respond. He looked at Joanna and discovered that she was indeed beautiful. However, he began to feel slightly worried if this

Hence, Adrian’s name was beyond familiar to her.Adrian replied, “Yes. However, I don’t have a favorable first impression of you. It seems that you’ve often bullied my wife while I was away.”Pffft!Joanna burst out in laughter and said, “You’re d*mn right about that. Sam and I even shared a bathtub during your time away. Moreover, I’m the one who took her first kiss!”Samantha glared at Joanna. “Don’t listen to her nonsense, Adrian. She was just overwhelmed with joy earlier.”Adrian understood that and he did not mind.Joanna said, “You’re quite capable, aren’t you? You abandoned my Sam for seven years but yet you managed to captivate her as soon as you got back. Tell me. How should we deal with this situation?”Adrian shrugged to express his cluelessness.Joanna said to Samantha, “Sam, this man made you live like a widow for seven years, and you’ve already forgiven him? Moreover, you’re calling him ‘dear’ over and over in such an intimate manner.”“I can’t help it. He’s too

Adrian was so taken aback by Samantha’s glare that he lost the courage to speak.Joanna giggled and the atmosphere in the car became harmonious.***Soon, Adrian and the others returned to Swallowton from Southrive.Samantha and Joanna chatted along the way and talked about the things that they had experienced over the past two years.As the two women chattered, Adrian announced, “Sam, we’ll be arriving at the house soon. Prepare to get down.”Samantha said to Joanna, “Please feel free to choose whichever room that you like when we’re at my house later, Jojo. Pick whichever you fancy. I have activities planned for tonight!”“Tsk, tsk…!” Joanna narrowed her eyes and a smirk appeared on her matured beautiful face. “If you say so, Sam. If I get to choose any room, I’ll choose the same room as your husband. You have no objections, right?”Samantha said generously, “I have no objection if he agrees. If you like him, I shall fulfill your wish!”Joanna burst out in laughter. Both of

Rue stepped outside upon hearing the commotion in the courtyard. She was instantly delighted to see Joanna and called out, “You’re back, Jojo!”Rue appeared to be well-acquainted with Joanna.When Samantha and Joanna were establishing Bailar, she would often visit Samantha’s house. She had even stayed over a few times.Rue knew that Joanna had experienced a lot of hardships too. She was deprived of a mother’s love since she was a child so Rue always treated Joanna like she was her own.Joanna said smilingly, “It’s been a long time since we last met, Mdm. Rue. I’m sorry I didn’t get you a gift. I was in such a hurry to get back. I promise I’ll get you one next time.”Rue beamed as she looked at Joanna. “You’ve been abroad for a few years. I almost couldn’t recognize you. You’ve become prettier and look even more like Sam’s sister now.”“You’re mistaken, ma’am. Sam and I have been sisters from the start!” Joanna said proudly.“Come inside, come inside. I’ll go get some ingredients
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 331
The truth was, Joanna was the eldest daughter of the famous DuPont family of Northrive, and she was also known as the most beautiful woman there.She had been born with a golden spoon in their mouth and grew up pampered. However, her adolescent years proved to be rather unhappy due to her relationship with her family.Joanna’s mother was riddled with illnesses, and failed to bear another child after Joanna was born, hence why she was the only child of her family. In fact, it was because of this that her mother held no status in the family. Being unable to bear a son was the reason Joanna’s father would frequently lash out at his wife in anger, and this matter also put a great strain on their marriage.Later on, Joanna’s mother was sent to live overseas, while Joanna was forced to stay behind. Despite her numerous attempts to find her mother after she grew up, Joanna’s father would stop all such attempts.Later on, she applied to study at Southrive University and succeeded, where sh

“I’ve seen many cases like this. There are people in every city who behave this way. Your mother was dealt a tough hand. There was nothing she could’ve done to change it.” Adrian interrupted.“You’re right,” Joanna replied, “My mother may have had a tough life, but she loved me very much and missed me every single day. Before she died, she asked me to stay overseas and not return home. If I ever did, the DuPonts would surely use me for a political marriage and force me into marrying someone I don’t love.”Adrian smiled and said, “The son of a higher-up in Northrive’s Internal Affairs, eh? That would make this man as powerful as the ten battle warriors.“The battle warriors are mainly tasked with international affairs, such as being responsible for the battles at the outlands. Meanwhile, Internal Affairs is tasked with national duties such as management. “However, your father trying to get you to marry the son of someone in Internal Affairs for his own benefit could go both ways, d

‘H-He’s War Legate Draco?’Joanna was dumbfounded, unable to find the words to say.Samantha looked at Joanna with a rather smug-looking smile on her face as Adrian stood up and headed for his room.When he was no longer in the living room, Joanna finally got a grasp of the situation and looked at Samantha. “You’re kidding, right? Is he really the legate?”Samantha nodded her head in all seriousness. “I’m not pulling your leg, Adrian really is the legate. So, while he’s here, there’s nothing for you to be worried about. He will help you get out of this no matter what.”Joanna was extremely shocked. The thought of Samantha’s husband as such an important person had never once crossed her mind.“Oh, my God! You’re a really lucky woman, Sam! You’ve netted yourself the best man in the world! Do you have any idea what the countries in the outlands are saying about him?”“What?”Samantha had never been abroad, so she did not know much about what was happening outside. On the other han

Samantha smiled, thinking how God had played a great joke on her.Casting away her thoughts, she replied, “All right, that’s enough about him. Let’s go to the pool upstairs!”With a smile, Joanna said, “Okay!”Before they left, Joanna seemed to think of something and asked, “By the way, Sam. Does your husband need another woman in his life? Do you think I could fit in?”“I think you’re absolutely perfect for him. Why don’t you sleep with him tonight while I sleep on the couch?” Samantha said as she shot Joanna a glare.It was clear that the two best friends were just fooling around, judging by how they both smiled at one another after that.Samantha then brought Joanna to the sky garden on the rooftop. They splashed around in the pool in their swimwear. Through this, one could actually say that adulthood can be filled with happiness.Sometimes, happiness can be attained in simple ways.***The next day, Samantha brought Joanna with her to New Paraiso.Since Joanna had returne

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.

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.

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
