The Return of the War Legate Chapter 496
Joanna was horrified when she heard this.Meanwhile, Samantha recalled something and said, “Didn’t she leave with Jimmy? Do you think she was…”Joanna suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and both women trembled from the horrifying image in their heads.While both of them were silent, Adrian said, “Find out what happened and report to me the moment you find out something. This may be a case linked to me.”“Yes, sir.”Adrian continued to drive to Jewel Road after hanging up.Joanna sat up and leaned in toward him. “You don’t think Jimmy’s behind this, do you? It’s obvious that someone was attracted by Abigail’s looks and…”Adrian replied, “It’s a possibility, but let’s not jump to conclusions before we find out the truth.”Samantha asked, “Will you be able to find out what happened?”Adrian nodded. “We should be able to within the hour. There are surveillance cameras throughout Swallowston so we’ll be able to deduce who the culprit is based on who Abigail was with and who
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 497
Despite her denial, Joanna was, in fact, swayed deep inside.However, she was not going to act on her feelings since there were too many things she could not change at that point—Jimmy murdering Abigail for example!‘The Drakes will no doubt be furious when they find out, and Father’s going to receive the brunt of their wrath when that happens.’***Adrian and his family sat down for dinner after they were done discussing the topic.Rue made a single bowl of chicken soup for Samantha, while an envious Adaline was only able to watch on.Samantha was clearly the one most well taken care of in the family at the moment. After all, she was carrying Adrian’s child.While they were having dinner, the sound of engine roars could be heard outside all of a sudden. Then, glaringly bright lights from several pairs of headlights shone into the house, lighting up the entire place. Despite their best efforts, Jewel Road’s security personnel had failed to stop the cars from entering Adrian’s co

After that, Jimmy turned toward Adrian and yelled, “You’d best realize the amount of trouble you’re in and let her go. Otherwise, I’ll break your legs!“You’ll never be worthy of the DuPont family of Northrive!”Jimmy made a gesture after saying all this, his face filled with glee as though he stood at the top of the world.What made everything even more laughable was the fact that Rosie was excited when she heard Jimmy’s speech. “Well said! That’s my Jim!”Jimmy seemed even more assured of himself when he heard this compliment. However, Rosie’s words left Samantha and Rue speechless.‘Patrick and his family are deeply engrossed in their own fantasy… Wait till they find out what’s about to happen to them…’Facing the DuPonts, Adrian, too, was extremely speechless. He gave Mya a call, asking her to meet him at his villa. ‘I’m going to make Jimmy pay for his actions today.’After hanging up the phone, Adrian turned toward Patrick and said, “I’m going to make this very clear to you
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 499
Jimmy covered his severely bruised face and cried, “My face! My face!!!”He cradled his face as blood and tears flowed down. He was shocked by the outcome. He thought that Adrian would not fight back.For a moment, he regretted his actions.Meanwhile, Rosie screamed like a madwoman when she saw Jimmy being slapped. “Aaaah! How dare you hit my son, you little b*stard! How dare you hit someone far superior to yourself!”Rosie charged at Adrian as she yelled. At the same time, she brought out a dagger she had packed into her handbag beforehand and tried to stab him. Based on this, one could tell just how cruel and wicked Rosie was.Upon seeing this scene, Adrian frowned and lost his patience with the woman. He grabbed Rosie by the back of her head before she could even reach him and kneed her in the stomach.“Argh!”Rosie instantly felt a jolt run through her entire body and her mouth opened in a scream. She then fell to her knees as she clutched her stomach, her eyes glazing over.

Rosie felt pressured after realizing the kind of man she was dealing with.Jimmy hurriedly added with an awkward smile on his face, “My mother’s right. This is all just a huge misunderstanding. We’ll be leaving now!”Jimmy ran toward Rosie and was just about to flee the scene when they suddenly saw a few vehicles from the Battle Warrior Department pulling into One Jewel Road, cutting off their escape route.Mya, who had long, slender legs, got out of the vehicle with more than a dozen men from the law enforcement team. Jimmy, Rosie, and Patrick were confused when they saw Mya, who was seen walking toward Adrian.“I’ve brought the information you requested, War Legate Draco.”“What?! Did she just say ‘War Legate Draco?!’”Rosie and her family looked stunned as they exchanged looks. Suddenly, Patrick started trembling!‘Th-That man is War Legate Draco?!’Patrick instantly took a few steps back from the shock he felt.Seeing this, Rosie anxiously asked, “Wh-Who’s War Legate Draco
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 501
With this sudden change, the tables had turned.Rosie and Patrick thought they would successfully take Joanna away that day, so neither of them was expecting such a thing to happen.“Father, help me! Help me!” Jimmy cried as he clutched at Patrick’s pants.Rosie’s legs had already given way, her face drenched with her tears as she felt helpless. With all of this new information coming to light, they could now prove that Jimmy had first forced himself on Abigail before proceeding to kill her.This caused Patrick to flip and kick Jimmy in the face.“How dare you murder someone!”After Jimmy hit the floor from being kicked, he got back up and continued to cry. Next to them, Rosie tried holding Patrick back and yelled, “Pat, you have to save him. He’s your only son. You have to!”Smack!!!Instead of doing as he was told, Patrick turned around and gave Rosie a massive slap in the face. “This is happening because of how much you’ve pampered him his whole life!”Now, it was Rosie’s t

Samantha had zero energy to handle company matters due to her pregnancy so she had Joanna temporarily take care of New Paraiso on her behalf.On top of that, she had Adrian help Joanna too, who ended up being rather busy over the past few days from working together with Joanna.That night, Adrian and Samantha were planning on getting some rest when somebody knocked on their door.“Adrian, Sam…” said Adaline from the other side of the door.Adrian opened the door to let her in, while Samantha looked at her and asked, “What’s the matter, Ada? Why are you here so late at night?”Adaline sat by their bedside and replied, “It’s going to be our university’s twentieth anniversary tomorrow so there will be a lot of performances taking place. They gave us invitation letters so that we can bring our parents.“Sam, since you’ve got a lot of time on your hands, would you like to go with me?”Adaline seemed hopeful as she looked at Samantha.Swallowston University was holding an event that
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 503
Adaline woke Adrian early the next morning since he promised to attend Swallowston University’s anniversary event.Samantha took a long time to get out of bed due to her pregnancy.Adaline was getting impatient but Rue refused to let Adaline wake her. She wanted Samantha to wake up naturally.Joanna had already done her makeup a long time ago and was ready to head out. Yet, it was not until nine in the morning that Samantha woke up and walked out of her room while rubbing her sleepy eyes.Adaline, who was getting rather anxious, said, “Sam, you’re finally up. You need to hurry or we’re going to be late!”At that moment, Samantha recalled what she had promised Adaline and said, “Sorry, Ada. I genuinely have no idea why I’ve been sleeping in so much recently. I’ll get ready right away!”Samantha rushed off to the bathroom to freshen herself up while Rue brought out a hearty breakfast she had prepared. She insisted that Samantha finished it all before leaving, which took another twe

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
