The Return of the War Legate Chapter 418
Adrian headed to the Battle Warrior Department after leaving home.Daniel was in a meeting when Adrian walked into the room. The former quickly ended the meeting and beckoned everyone to leave. He made his way to Adrian and asked, “Sir, is there anything I can help you with?”Adrian asked, “Has the woman named Reiss returned to Northrive?”He had ordered Daniel to arrange for someone to watch Reiss over the past few days. After all, Adrian did not know Reiss’ innermost thoughts because she was still a part of the De Forrest family.Adrian would kill her without the slightest hesitation if she wished to protect her father. He would not make others sacrifice themselves because of this matter even if they had a personal relationship with him.Daniel said, “She hasn’t returned to Northrive but she spent the night in north Swallowston’s Cloucliff yesterday. She’s still there and hasn’t left.”“Cloucliff?”“Yes, sir.”Cloucliff was a cliff on Swallowston’s Mount Cirro. It was a sceni

Suddenly, Reiss heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind her. Someone was approaching.She hastily turned around and saw Adrian coming up behind her. He was carrying a takeaway box that he passed to her.Reiss hesitated for a moment upon seeing the takeaway meal. Then, she took it and eagerly began devouring the food.Adrian passed her a bottle of water and said, “Eat slowly. No one is going to take it from you.”Reiss missed two meals since last night. An ordinary person would be starving from missing two meals. She took a sip of water and felt her starvation slowly fade.Adrian sat down next to her and said, “I know what you’re thinking. I told you before that there are many things in this world that one just can’t help.“You don’t have to go home if you don’t want to,” Adrian added as he looked at her.“If I don’t go home, what will I do? If my parents are in jail, how will I live on my own?” Reiss asked with a hoarse voice.All of a sudden, she clutched Adrian’s hand

“Aaaah!” Reiss instinctively screamed when she sensed herself falling.Cloucliff was fifty meters in height at the very least. Even if one were to survive the fall, one would be seriously injured.Adrian grabbed Reiss’ arms as their bodies were suspended in midair. Then, he exerted strength to fling her upward.Reiss crashed into the ground above while Adrian dropped straight down.“Adrian!” Reiss shouted as she lay on the ground.All of a sudden, a glint was seen emanating from the bottom of the cliff. In the next moment, Adrian had already risen into the air and landed steadily in front of Reiss.In fact, Reiss did not even have the time to understand the situation before Adrian was already back up on the cliff.He casually placed a call. “Cloucliff collapsed. Barricade the area with caution tape to prevent people from coming in.”“Yes, sir.”Reiss glared at him but made no comment. Instead, she asked, “Who are you taking me to meet?”“You’ll know when we get there.”***

Adrian left the Battle Warrior Department and headed to New Paraiso.He planned to spend the rest of the day in Samantha’s office because he had nothing else to do.He found her working quietly in her office upon his arrival. The sight of her being extremely quiet was extremely enticing.Samantha had a button nose, cherry lips, and a snowy white, delicate complexion. She exuded a mature presence and her figure was curvaceous. It would be appropriate to name her the most beautiful woman in Swallowston.“You’re here, dear.” Samantha beamed upon noticing Adrian’s arrival.He nodded and took a seat on the sofa in her office. He pulled out his phone and began to play games on his phone out of boredom. Samantha paid him no attention and continued to work quietly.However, it was at this exact moment that the door to Samantha’s office was suddenly shoved open. Joanna rushed into the room anxiously and said, “Something bad happened, Sam!”She then noticed Adrian. “Oh, you’re here too, A
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 422
“The Battle Warrior Department will make its own arrangements. However, this case has always been managed by Internal Affairs. If the Department were to intervene mid-way, it’d be blamed if anything bad were to happen.”Adrian did not wish to help to clean up Internal Affairs’ mess. However, he could not just ignore the matter because he was worried about Mandy’s safety.He added, “I’ve already assigned Daniel to get in touch with Swallowston’s Internal Affairs. I’d have to find out their plan before I can determine Sheldon's goal. This is the best way to handle the situation. Mandy is still safe for the time being because Sheldon won’t hurt her just yet.”Joanna and Samantha were panic-stricken upon hearing Adrian’s remark. If something bad were to happen to Mandy, Swallowston would be greatly affected.However, Samantha was not too worried because Adrian was on it. After all, her husband was the dignified War Legate Draco!They stayed in the office for a while.***The details

The phone rang.Soon, a lazy voice was heard coming from the other end of the call. “Hello.”A middle-aged man was seated in the office, and his name was Byron Wulf.Byron was the deputy chief secretary of Internal Affairs and was ranked second among the figures of authority in Swallowston.Daniel said, “Where’s the chief secretary?”Upon hearing Daniel’s question, Byron said, “Who are you? Why do you want to speak to the chief secretary?”This man was supposed to be the dignified deputy chief secretary, yet, he failed to recognize Daniel’s voice.Daniel frowned upon the realization and said, “This is Daniel Summers—the representative of the Battle Warrior Department.”“Ah, I see.”Upon hearing Daniel’s self-introduction, Byron hastily chuckled and said, “It’s you huh, General Daniel. I’m sorry I didn’t recognize your voice as we’ve never met in person.”“I’d like to speak to the chief secretary.”“The chief isn’t here,” Byron said, “You can speak to me if there’s anything t
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 424
Daniel made a call to the first guardian.After the call was picked up, a staff member of the City Guardian Division said, “Mr. Daniel, the first guardian is away on a business trip and isn’t in Swallowston at the moment. Also, the Guardians don’t have the authority to mobilize the federation guard without orders from Internal Affairs.“We’re only allowed to offer reinforcements upon receiving orders from Internal Affairs. This matter isn’t under the Guardians’ jurisdiction. We need Internal Affairs to take action first by dispatching the order. Only then are we allowed to act.”***Ten minutes later, Adrian was waiting for an update in Samantha’s office at New Paraiso.Daniel’s call came. He said, “Sir, I’ve made the calls. They’re claiming that the chief secretary and the first guardian are away on business trips. Internal Affairs and the Guardians are pushing the responsibility to one another and neither of them has any intention of taking action. It looks like the Battle Warri
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 425
Samantha wanted to speak but she stopped herself.Both Internal Affairs and the City Guardian Division refused to partake in this case so Mandy would surely be doomed if Adrian did not save her.Samantha inhaled a deep breath as she watched Adrian head downstairs. Joanna squeezed her hand and said in a comforting manner, “Don’t worry, Sam. Adrian is the legate—the most powerful man in the world!”Just as Joanna said, Samantha looked forward to her husband’s performance and she was very proud of him. She had a man that countless women in this world wanted but could not have.Meanwhile, Adrian walked out of New Paraiso while Daniel had already assigned someone to send him his equipment. He changed into his full black battle suit as he walked and got into a car soon afterward.Samantha and Joanna stood by the window of the office and watched as Adrian got into the car and left.***The incident of Sheldon abducting Mandy had stirred fear in everyone’s heart. Not many people could b

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
