The Return of the War Legate Chapter 373
Adrian was unaware of Roman’s existence before, and Roman did a good job at laying low.Now that he knew about Roman, Adrian would not simply lie back and do nothing.***After briefing Daniel, Adrian left. But not long after, he discovered that he was being followed.He noticed a figure sneakily following him from a spot not far away.Adrian was very in-tune with his surroundings—a skill that had been honed from being in numerous wars. That was how he noticed the situation so quickly.After discovering that he was being followed, Adrian stopped upon arriving at a busy street. He turned around and looked in the direction of the sidewalk.The person seemed to notice Adrian’s gaze and hastily turned around in preparation to run.However, Adrian was one step ahead. He quickly ran over and grabbed the person’s throat.“Urgh!”A deep, painful moan was heard. The person whom Adrian had grabbed by the throat curled up before grabbing at Adrian’s hands and began struggling.“Let go

Reiss was forced to continuously back away until she was trapped in a corner without anywhere else to go.Adrian made his way to Reiss and asked, “What’s going on?”“You…You’re a monster. I watched you kill my younger brother with my own eyes!”“What?”“Younger brother?”Adrian was flabbergasted. “Thomas is your younger brother?”At this point, Adrian understood everything. He said, “In that case, Seth must be your younger brother too.”Reiss gave no reply but her gaze was filled with frustration. She was telling Adrian with her expression that something was about to happen.Noticing Reiss’ terrified state, Adrian tucked away the long hair that covered her face with one hand and said, “I had no idea you have two younger brothers.“Why are you scared? Are you afraid of me?” Adrian asked.Reiss shuddered, unable to conceal the fear she felt in her heart.Noticing that Reiss was quiet, Adrian said casually, “Tell me. What happened? I can see that you’re not afraid of me but of

Adrian instantly sensed the threat of the bullet.He shoved Reiss out of the way and the bullet grazed her top.“Gah!” Reiss shrieked.The bullet failed to hurt her and hit the lamppost because Adrian had shoved her to the ground.“What?! F*ck!” the middle-aged man in the car cussed after noticing that he missed his shot. He shouted at the driver, “F*ck! Stop the car! I’m going to shoot him to death!”The Mercedes Benz stopped and the man clambered out of the sunroof before aiming his gun once again.Adrian furrowed his eyebrows upon witnessing the scene. “D*mn it!”Upon saying this, he moved so swiftly that he turned into shadows.Adrian reached the car and grabbed the man’s arm before he could fire his second shot. A ripping sound was heard and the man’s right arm was ripped away from his shoulder.“Gahhhh!” The man let out a heartbreaking, agonizing scream. He was dragged out through the sunroof before crashing heavily into the ground.“Aaargh!”The sound of his agonizing

As soon as Reiss sat down, she turned to Adrian and said, "Thank you for saving me earlier."In response, Adrian warned, "Roman and your father are headed for a bad ending. Do you have any plans for the future? I suggest you don't go back to Northrive."Reiss fell silent.Adrian then proceeded to ask her about other matters. He learned that she lost her mother at an early age and was raised by her grandmother. Now that she was grown up, her stepmother was plotting to use her to advance the De Forrest family's power in Northrive.For the past few years, Reiss had lived under her stepmother's shadow. Including this time, when she was sent to Swallowston to assassinate Adrian in revenge for Seth's death.Adrian tried to persuade Reiss to reconsider her situation, but their conversation was interrupted by a phone call from Daniel."Sir, Roman has been disposed of," Daniel said urgently, "As per your request, he's now mincemeat. We've sent people to apprehend his subordinates.""Exce

Adrian led Reiss to the Battle Warrior Department."Here we are. You can go inside and ask someone for assistance. I have to go now. Take care!" Adrian said."Okay, see you later," Reiss replied with a smile.Adrian returned the smile.Suddenly, Reiss extended her small, fair hand to Adrian. Without hesitation, he shook her hand.As Reiss walked into the tower, Adrian picked up his phone and made a call. "Hey Daniel, a girl named Reiss just went to the department. She’s Seth's sister and is here to retrieve his ashes. Can you arrange for someone to provide her with a pass so that she can enter the funeral parlor?""Got it," Daniel replied.The arrangements were made swiftly, and once they were settled, Adrian went back to One Jewel Road. When he got home, Samantha was already back and was cooking with Joanna.Upon seeing Adrian, Joanna exclaimed, "Adrian, where have you been?"Joanna spoke in a huff while Samantha chuckled.Adrian grinned and said, "My apologies. I ran into a

Rue vividly remembered Chuck—the chubby boy who knew his way around words.Adrian exclaimed, "Yes, that's him!""I haven't seen him in a while," Rue said, "Did you know that when you left, Chuck used to come to our house every day asking if you had come back? This went on for over a year."Adrian took a deep breath. He was surprised to hear this as he never expected Chuck to look for him so persistently."What happened after that?" Adrian asked.Rue replied, "Chuck would bring gifts every time he came to our house. He knew that our family was bankrupt so he bought a lot of study supplies for Ada. But then, after more than a year, he stopped coming.""Do you know where he went?" Adrian wondered."I asked around and it seems that Chuck's father was crushed to death when a building collapsed during his construction work. I don't know how it was handled in the end. Since then, I have not seen him." Rue revealed the sad news to Adrian.Adrian's face fell from shock and disbelief."

Mya did not say anything else, and Reiss left the Battle Warrior Tower with the pass in hand.Reiss took a taxi directly to the funeral parlor located on the outskirts of Swallowston, which was quite far away. Unbeknownst to her, she was being targeted by two young men who were in a car behind her."That woman is Seth's sister. D*mn it! How dare she struts into Swallowston so openly. We'll give her a lesson later," one of the young men muttered angrily, looking at Reiss in her car.The other young man nodded in agreement and suggested, "Let's follow her and show her what happens when she messes with us."These two young men, named Cliff and Marlin Black, were cousins of Simon and part of the Black family. They had set their eyes on Reiss when she appeared near the Battle Warrior Department.Simon’s death greatly impacted the Blacks and they could not tolerate the humiliation. Cliff immediately made a phone call and quickly arranged for several people to follow Reiss.***Half an

Upon saying that, Marlin snatched the urn from Reiss’ hands.Reiss shrieked, “Don’t do anything to him!“Gahhh!”Reiss screamed. She was having trouble accepting this.In a fit, she cried and shouted, “I won’t let you get away with this, you b*stards!”Unable to withstand the agony, Reiss charged toward Marlin in a fit of hysteria.Already boiling with anger since the start, Marlin roared, “Beat her up!”More than twenty people immediately ran over and swung at Reiss with the clubs in their hands.Reiss was shaking all over and was at loss for what to do.However, the moment these people moved to attack her, a loud shout was suddenly heard. “Stop!”The shout made Marlin and Cliff stop what they were doing and turned around to look over in puzzlement.Reiss looked in the direction where the roar came from, her face covered in tears. She saw Adrian coming from a distance to stop the attack.She was overcome with emotion when she saw him.Cliff recognized Adrian and raised an

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

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
