The Return of the War Legate Chapter 452
Vivian, who was from an ordinary family, could feel how spectacular Jewel Road was and could not help taking in the scenery for as long as she could.She looked out the car window and saw all the luxurious villas along the way, her heart racing. ‘I can’t imagine any woman who wouldn’t want to live such a life.’Of course, this included Vivian herself.As the car pulled into One Jewel Road, Vivian quickly got out and said, “Wow… Do you live here?”Adrian smiled after getting out of his car and said, “Yes, I only just moved in recently. Let’s head inside, Viv. I’ve invited a few others to join us. They’ll be here soon.”“What? But… Hang on. We were in such a rush that I forgot to bring a gift. Also, is your wife home?” Vivian seemed slightly frightened and embarrassed as she spoke. She was in an unfamiliar environment, which made her feel uncomfortable.“I’m happy that you’re here. There’s no need for a gift. Sam’s at the office, but my mother and little sister are home.”Vivian h

Without a shadow of a doubt, that voice belonged to Reiss.Sure enough, she and Chuck were carrying a barbeque pit up the stairs while also carrying some materials to start a fire. On top of that, they had some lamb and vegetables for the barbeque as well.They were sweating buckets by the time they arrived at the sky garden.Vivian was startled when she saw them. “Chuck? Reiss?”Chuck and Reiss both raised their heads at the same time and looked at Vivian.Reiss, who was instantly able to recognize the woman before her, looked surprised as she asked, “Ms. Vivian?”Vivan was overjoyed and ran toward them. “Chuck! Reiss! It really is you!”“What are you doing here, Ms. Vivian?” Reiss sounded surprised too. After that, she saw Adrian, who was standing close by, and said, “I get it now, Adrian’s the one who brought you here.”Vivian turned around and asked, “Are they the ones you were talking about, Adrian?”“Yeah, it’s them—your former class monitor and the student who gave you

“Come on, Viv. I’m starving! I’ll help you, Juno.”Reiss helped Juno get out of the pool and to the dining area. The three ladies took their seats while Adrian brought over a carton of beer.Reiss opened one up and clinked bottles with Vivian. Soon after, Rue brought up a few plates of ravioli and they all sat around the table to enjoy their food.As the oldest amongst the youngsters, Vivian smiled and said, “Who would’ve thought we’d see each other again here after seven years? I’ve got a few more friends in Swallowston now. Cheers, everyone!”“Cheers!”The group clinked glasses and enjoyed the atmosphere, chatting the day away.Vivian could not help but shed a few tears when she heard about Chuck’s ordeal. It was only then she realized how each and every one of them had their own hardships. Chuck, Reiss, Adrian… They had all gone through extremely painful experiences.In comparison, Vivian’s life was much calmer, albeit not that great.After chatting for a long time, they sta

After clinking glasses, they continued to eat and chat.Time soon flew by, and soon, it was evening. Samantha and Joanna returned from work just as Adrian was about to take Vivian to SK.When they got downstairs, Samantha was combing her hair in the living room and Joanna was working overtime with her laptop on the sofa. Samantha knew that Adrian had guests over so she had chosen not to head upstairs as not to disturb them.When she saw them coming downstairs, she said, “Chubbs, Reiss? You’re the ones Adrian said were going to be here?”Chuck said, “You’re back, Sam.”Meanwhile, Reiss said, “We’re really sorry for bothering you again, Sam.”Samantha merely smiled and asked when she saw Vivian, “And you are?”Vivian walked over and reached out her hand, “You must be Samantha. Hello, my name is Vivian Arce.”Samantha shook Vivian’s hand.“She’s our former homeroom teacher, Sam.” Chuck introduced them.“Hello, Ms. Vivian.”Vivian smiled and said, “I’ve heard so much about you.

However, Adrian was surprised when he saw that Internal Affairs had gotten involved.‘They didn’t make a single move when Mandy was held hostage before. Yet, they’ve taken such swift action and exerted their authority over a few dead Luposians, even placing SK on lockdown for an investigation. That’s rather efficient of them.‘Still, why would Internal Affairs be working for the Luposians? Or are they working for a local?’Hearing this, Vivian felt shocked and curious upon hearing what Luca said. However, she had no plans of going home. Not when she was here for a purpose.“Luca, there’s something urgent I need to do but I left a very important document in my office. I need to get inside for a while, please.”“It’s really dangerous right now, Viv. The murderer might be close by so it won’t be safe for you to be inside. Why don’t you wait until this is all over?”Without hesitation, Vivian rejected his suggestion. “No, it’s a document that’s very important to me on a personal leve

“Aah!!!”Vivian was dumbfounded when she heard the sound and her face turned bright red. Bram was shocked and immediately pulled the plug on his computer, his face also reddened.With a frown on her face, Vivian said, “Why are you watching such stuff when you’re supposed to be on duty? I’m going to deduct your salary, you shameless man!”Bram, the chubby man, gathered his thoughts and calmed himself as he let off a few light coughs. He looked at Vivian with a huge smile. “Ms. Vivian, what brings you here so late at night? I thought you went home already. Why are you still here?”Vivian frowned even harder. Bram was her subordinate and had so far been very obedient. Hence, she was surprised to find him watching lewd videos when he was supposed to be on his night shift.On company property, no less!“Are you itching for a beating?” Vivian gritted her teeth angrily.Bram chuckled in embarrassment and said, “Please tell me whatever it is you need me to do for you, Ms. Vivian. I’ll

‘Sounds like something’s definitely going on with SK.’At that thought, Adrian asked, “How did you find out about all this?“The previous hub manager told me but we all kept our mouths shut and pretended to not know about its existence. You two better not tell anyone else about this or all three of us will be in a lot of trouble.”“But since you know all this, we should head inside and take a look. Lead the way, Bram. Your chance at a huge promotion is right in front of you,” Vivian urged.“Lead the way? Are you mad, Ms. Vivian? I value my life too much to do such a thing. Unlike you, I’ve never slept with anyone before.“Unless…”Bram then stared at Vivian.“Do you have a death wish?” Vivian grabbed Bram’s ear after saying this.Panicking, Bram said, “W-wait! I was only joking! Please let go of my ear!”Vivian released Bram and said, “Enough jokes. Do you know who this man is, Bram?”Bram took a look at Adrian before Vivian continued, “This is War Legate Draco!”“Pfft! Why

Bram picked up his jacket and put it on as he strode out of his office. He then rushed toward the hub while nobody was looking, with Adrian and Vivian following closely behind.“I may know where the entrance to Scorpio Hub is but we’re going to need a Luposian’s ID card to get inside, sir. I’ll take you two there to have a look. We’ll think of something when we get there.”Soon, Bram brought Adrian and Vivian to the deepest parts of the hub. Inside were countless shipments containing items of all varieties. He pulled open one of the racks and lo and behold, there was indeed a door disguised as a wall.“Here it is. This is where the Luposians come and go. This hub is usually locked shut so nobody can come in and out of this place. You’ll need an ID card to open it up.”“Do you mean this?” Adrian took out a card from his pocket.When Bram saw this, he smiled and said, “Holy sh*t! Where did you get that, sir? That’s exactly what we need to get in!”Adrian replied, “I swiped it from

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
