The Return of the War Legate Chapter 439
The workers Dale brought with him immediately trudged in and were about to drag the trio out of the place.However, they were all sent flying by a mysterious gust of wind the moment they entered the house and fell onto their backs. None of them had any clue what had just happened.“Arghh!!!”The workers were all sent sprawling to the ground and cried out in agony before they could even enter the place. Dale was dumbfounded upon witnessing this.As Chuck and Reiss stood up, Adrian had already walked over and was standing before Dale.Dale was completely unaware that Adrian was so well-versed in combat that he was able to send his workers flying in an instant. For a moment, he even felt fearful of Adrian.Suddenly, Adrian raised his hand and gave Dale a tight slap. “You’ve got some nerve speaking to me so rudely. Looks like you need to be taught a lesson.”Dale was trembling from the slap but quickly became furious as he tried to retaliate. Adrian kicked him in the stomach before

‘That’s exactly what I’ve been planning to do!‘It doesn’t matter who you are. Internal Affairs is going to drag you away the moment they arrive!’At that thought, Dale hurriedly picked up his cell phone and called Byron on his personal number.***Byron had just gotten out from a shower in his luxurious villa in Windy Bay. He received Dale’s phone call just as he was about to have some fun with the new mistress he had just started relations with.Dale said, “Mr. Byron, I was beaten up by a few guys. You need to come to Southern Plains immediately. The owner of the house whose deed you voided before has returned. He and his friends beat me up and refuse to let me tear down the place.”“What did you say? F*cking idiot, does he have a death wish?!” Byron yelled.“Please get here as soon as you can, Mr. Byron. They’re going to ruin my face if you don’t.”Byron immediately said, “Okay, I’ll be right there.”After that, he put on his clothes and was about to rush over when a seduct

Thud! Thud! Thud!Shortly after the car doors were closed, the enforcement team from Internal Affairs rushed into the house. The person leading the team was Rupert Greece.Dale was elated when he saw them. “Captain Rupert, you’re here! Has Mr. Byron told you what’s happened?”Rupert nodded and glanced at Adrian and the other two.“Nobody would dare to cause trouble in Internal Affairs’ territory. Mr. Byron has already ordered this house to be demolished, yet you’re trying to seek compensation. I suggest you extort that money in prison instead!“You three have severely broken Internal Affairs’ rules, plus one of you even laid your hands on another person. This alone will be enough to charge you with years of imprisonment,” Rupert said to the trio.He was being straightforward because he already got the gist of the situation from Byron.Meanwhile, Adrian seemed slightly infuriated by Byron’s absence. Eyebrows furrowed, he said, “Byron should be here to deal with his own matters, y

Dale trembled in fear after realizing that he had offended the legate.‘What the…’Both men were overcome by fear as they knelt.Looking at Rupert, Adrian looked at a guy next to the former and said, “Hand me your rod.”The guy dared not disobey the legate’s command and handed over his weapon. Grabbing it tight, Adrian threw a huge swing at Rupert’s face.“Argh!” Rupert sprawled onto the floor, teeth and blood flying out of his mouth.“Please forgive me, sir! I was just doing as I was told!” he screamed as he trembled.“You were just doing as you were told, eh?” Adrian snickered and continued, “I think you’re just taking advantage of your status to flex your authority though.”Adrian swung the rod once more after saying this, causing Rupert’s face to become very badly bruised.Dale did not dare utter a single word despite how badly Rupert was crying out. In this way, he thought he would be able to escape being punished, but Adrian suddenly swung the stick at his face as well.

Rupert trembled when he heard this.‘Three seconds? Are you kidding me? That’s literally not time at all!’However, he immediately shouted when Adrian started counting down, “I’ll do it! I’ll do it!”After that, he was trembling even more vigorously as his sweat drenched his clothes.Adrian smiled and said, “In that case, have your men sent to Byron’s residence immediately. I’ll be right there.“And remember. No press.”“Yes, sir!” Rupert shouted and waved. “Let’s go!”Rupert and his men immediately ran out of the house and did as they were told. However, Dale was still on his knees, not daring to get up without Adrian’s permission. He trembled even more after Rupert left.“Are you still going to tear down this house tomorrow?” Adrian asked as he looked at Dale.Dale immediately shook his head. “I-I’m not going to tear down this place anymore, sir. I won’t do it no matter what!”“You know, I’m not an unreasonable man. You’re free to tear down the place once you’ve compensated

Rupert’s face was still bruised. Although he had already done simple first aid on his injuries, he was still in really bad shape on the whole.Adrian made a gesture and said, “Go.”“Yes, sir!”Rupert waved his hand as he gave his order, followed by the first team kicking down Byron’s door and charging inside. Adrian and Rupert followed behind them.At that very moment, Byron was still having fun with an exquisite-looking woman upstairs when his door was suddenly kicked down. More than a dozen men charged into the room with their guns aimed at him and his woman.Byron was so shocked when the door was kicked down that he started shaking, while the woman shrieked and covered herself with the blanket.Bryon scurried to grab his clothes to put them on as looked at the people in front of him. “What are you guys doing?! Are you all mad?! How dare you barge into my room!”He could instantly tell that the men before him were from Internal Affairs based on their battle suits, which was wh

Byron was stunned when he heard this.‘Working with the Luposians? Providing them support?’Byron was just calmly sitting in his office hours ago, not expecting to end up being arrested by the Battle Warrior Department. Because of this, he was furious.‘I’m the deputy chief secretary of Internal Affairs! I won’t allow anyone to step over my authority!’“How dare you accuse me, Draco! Our departments have never been at odds with one another so how dare you meddle in my affairs!” Byron stood on the bed and yelled at Adrian.“Silence!” Rupert suddenly swung a punch at Byron’s face, causing the latter to collapse onto the bed in pain. In fact, a few of his teeth had fallen off from that ferocious punch.“Are you still going to pretend that you’re a decent man, Byron? You’re hereby under arrest by War Legate Draco himself. Nobody is going to come and save you now!”Byron’s fury meter finally reached its peak, unable to believe that he had just been punched by his subordinate. “Rupert

“All right. I’ve already prepared your bath. Go wash up. You stink!”“Okay.” Adrian headed into the bathroom and showered before putting on the pajamas Samantha had laid out for him.Samantha was still reading her book after he was done. He asked, “By the way, do you know a person by the name of Tanner Dunn?”“Tanner Dunn?” Samantha seemed confused while Adrian nodded.Adrian wanted to be more thorough with his investigation since Sheldon mentioned his name.Samantha then replied, “I know the guy. He’s the deputy director of the SK Group and is a Luposian businessman. SK is considered a foreign-invested medium-sized company in Swallowston.“Why do you ask?” Samantha asked curiously.Adrian pondered for a moment before he smiled at her and said, “Something’s off with him, and I plan on meeting him tomorrow.”“He’s not going to be easy to meet. I’m sure you won’t be able to meet him if you walk in unannounced. Why don’t I get someone from the office to contact him for a meeting o

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.

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
