The Return of the War Legate Chapter 335
Barry packed his things and headed for the operations base at Southrive for his three-month test, where his future under Adrian’s mentorship would be decided.Adrian, other than occasionally accompanying Juno on walks, spent the next few days recuperating. Juno was already able to walk without the help of a wheelchair. Although she was still using a crutch to get around, it was only a matter of time before she would be able to walk like a normal person.One day, a young man in a suit stood inside the best room a certain hotel had to offer, speaking on the phone. It was none other than Seth.“Yes, sir,” said an old man from the other end of the line.Seth asked, “What have you managed to find on Adrian Xander?”The old man replied, “I can confirm that he’s of no importance and isn’t from any major family. His father used to be the richest man in Swallowston, but as I said, used to be.”Naturally, Seth knew about Adrian’s past and even knew everything about Samantha.“What has he

“Oh, wow!”“It’s gorgeous!”Clara’s best friends were all attracted to her bangle.One of them said, “I envy you so much, Clara. Not only are you beautiful, but you’ve also landed yourself a rich fiance like Simon who gives you all kinds of gifts every day.”“She’s right, we all envy you so much!”Clara enjoyed having her ego stroked and was on cloud nine at that moment.She then said, “Please, it’s not like that. I was just a little luckier, that’s all.”Everyone then laughed together once more.Suddenly, a long-haired woman asked, “By the way, Clara… Do you know that Samantha, your younger cousin, has moved into a villa on Jewel Road?”“Jewel Road? Seriously?” Clara was instantly stunned.“How is that possible? She’s miles away from being close to me, so how could she possibly afford to move into a villa there when I can’t?”“I’m serious, Clara. A friend of mine saw her there.”“Your friend gave you fake news. I’m sure of it.” Clara waved her hand and thought nothing more

Clara’s excitement was over the charts when Seth arrived before her.In a daze, she stared at him while her friends gushed in excitement.A number of people rushed into the cafe as well, wanting to see how the young man with a luxurious car was going to propose to her.To everyone’s excitement and shock, they all saw Seth bowing to Clara like a proper gentleman with a hand stretched out toward her. With a smile, he said, “You’re Clara Cowell, correct?”‘I can’t believe this guy with a luxurious car is actually here to propose to me!’Clara was blushing from ear to ear. “Y-Yes, I’m Clara… A-And you are?”She even stuttered as she spoke and her heart raced like mad.“My name’s Seth from the De Forrest family in Northrive. Honestly, I only arrived here in Swallowston not too long ago, but I’ve heard about how beautiful you are, Ms. Clara. Now that I’m looking at you in person, you really are a stunning woman.”“S-So you’re here to…?” Clara looked at the bouquet of flowers Seth was

Because of this, Simon dialed Clara’s number.After a very long time, Clara, who was in a hotel with Seth, answered the call and said, “H-Hello…”Confused, Simon asked, “Is there something wrong, dear?”“I’m fine, Simon. Just out having a jog. Did you need me for something?”Clara was panting a little.Paying it no mind, Simon replied, “My dad has agreed to our marriage so I thought we could go over the details together.”“Our marriage? I’ll have to ask my grandmother first, so how about I get back to you tomorrow after I’ve asked her?”In truth, Clara did not want to ruin the atmosphere she was in with Seth. She hurriedly hung up the call after Simon agreed.With a smile, Simon asked, “Who was that?”Clara smiled and said, “My ex-boyfriend. I’m going to break it off with him tomorrow. Would that upset you, Seth?”“Of course not. I’m not the petty kind.”Clara stifled a laugh and said, “All right then. There’s nothing between him and me anymore. I’ll be sure to fulfill whate
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 339
All Clara wanted to do was prove to Seth that he was definitely the man she wanted to be with, which was why she chose to attack Simon.She never thought that she would end up killing him.Her face was ashen. She usually would not have the courage to even think about killing anyone. Hence, she turned to Seth, pleading for the man to save her from the conundrum.But Seth’s endgame was to get to Samantha, so it was only natural he would not want Clara to be in trouble before he succeeded.“Calm down, Clara. I’ll have someone clean up the body right now. I want you to forget about any of this ever happening.“I’ll take care of him!”After that, Seth took out his phone and made a call, asking his butler to send a few men over. He was, after all, from Northrive’s De Forrest family, so of course it was an extremely simple matter for him to resolve this situation.After hanging up the phone, he said, “All right, someone will deal with this later. Don’t worry about it. By the way, I’m p

“How about tacos? I’ve missed tacos ever so much! Do you remember how we’d always have some at that particular stall back when we were in university? They tasted so good!” Joanna began to reminisce about a past memory.Samantha replied, “Why don’t we head there then?”Joanna bobbed her head up and down. “Yes, let’s! They’re now operating as a food truck with beers for sale. Beers are a perfect combination with tacos!”While the women discussed where they were going to eat that night, Adrian had his eyes glued to his game and remained silent the entire time. In his mind, he only had to follow wherever the women decided to go.Thus, Samantha made a decision to have some tacos with Joanna at a food truck. In the past, the duo would frequent that place back when they were in university. Sometimes, they even enjoyed a beer or two to let down their hair.‘It’s been so many years since I’ve indulged myself like that.’At that thought, Samantha said, “Okay, we’ll head for some tacos afte

The three of them walked into the school and arrived outside Juno's classroom.As her classmates gradually left, Juno was still organizing her backpack at her desk. She spotted Samantha and Adrian appearing outside the door and waved with a smile. "Hey guys, please give me a moment. I'll be right there."Samantha nodded and smiled.Joanna whispered to Samantha, "Sam, this girl is really beautiful. It's a pity that both her parents have passed away. I can't help but feel sorry for her.”"I know. I feel so sorry for her too. It's like when my parents passed away. It took me a long time to recover but I was luckier than her because I still had my grandfather," Samantha replied."This girl is also really strong. She knows exactly what she needs to do to move on. She could have easily fallen into despair instead," Joanna mused, her words heavy with emotion.Joanna was right. If Juno had not been so resilient, she could have easily sunk into a state of aimlessness. Fortunately, Juno wa

The car arrived swiftly at One Jewel Road.Knowing they were going out again soon, Samantha parked the car outside the villa instead of driving in."We're here," Samantha announced.As the group got out of the car, Adrian picked Juno up by the waist to carry her in since it was a short distance. Juno hooked one arm around his neck, enjoying the attention.As they were entering the villa, a discordant voice suddenly interrupted them. "Well, well, if it isn't Samantha. What a surprise to see you here. Do you even have permission to be at Jewel Road?"Samantha was momentarily rattled as Clara's voice reached her ears.The group turned to see Clara strutting out of the yard of a neighboring villa, her arm hooked through the arms of a man.Samantha instantly recognized the man as Seth De Forrest.A thunderstruck Samantha leaned over and whispered to Adrian, "Why is Clara with Seth? I thought she was with Simon."Adrian shook his head in uncertainty.At that moment, Clara had alrea

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
