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

    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

    Adrian said, “Let’s head inside.”He then walked toward the entrance while Joanna and Samantha tried to find out more about the situation. Yet, the moment they got there, a few youngsters stopped Adrian in his tracks. The leader of the crew furiously said, “Hey idiot, didn’t you see the signboard? No phones allowed.”The youngster pointed toward the signboard by the side.“Why should I hand over my phone?” Adrian curiously yet calmly looked the youngster in the face.Hearing this, the leader became even more furious and said, “Because I said so, you *sshole! No phones allowed. Anyone who refuses can f*ck right off!”The leading youngster seemed really enraged and ready to get into a fight. Yet, his angry remark only piqued Adrian’s interest in him.Just as Adrian was about to question the man, Joanna walked over and pulled Adrian to the side, whispering, “I just found out that the young man you’re going up against is Harvey Decker. His father’s the main person in charge of Swallo

    Harvey was slightly taken aback when he heard this.Meanwhile, the crowd stopped protesting and were now watching the scene before their eyes.In the next moment, Harvey became enraged and fiercely said, “Who the hell do you think you are?! How dare you speak to me that way! Don’t you know that nobody here is able to go against my will?!”It was not surprising for Harvey to behave as such since his father had gotten him to his current position through some underhanded tactics.However, Adrian merely smiled at Harvey’s remark and said, “Honestly, I had no idea.”“What?!” Harvey’s expression changed. “You don’t know, you say?”Adrian shook his head. “I don’t.”“You f*cking piece of sh*t!”Harvey cursed and angrily yelled, “In that case, do you know I’m going to break your legs today? I’ve decided to put you on my blacklist, and I’m going to inform my father once I leave this place to end your life!”Adrian smiled once more. “Has it ever crossed your mind that your father won’t b

    “You’re a dead man!” Harvey yelled at Adrian.Smack!!!Immediately after he said this, Adrian gave Harvey another slap, causing the latter to be dumbfounded. A huge bruise appeared on Harvey’s face.Even the crowd was dumbfounded as they witnessed this.Harvey covered his face, unable to react to the situation for a moment. He had not expected Adrian to hit him for real. Despite how many people he had with him, none of them dared to step forward and assist him. In fact, they were only taking Harvey’s side out of fear of being bullied.“Arghhh!” Harvey shouted, “You’ve made me really mad now! I’m going to kill you!”Despite his fury, Harvey got slapped a third time, causing one of his teeth and some blood to fly out from his mouth. Harvey’s left face was now severely bruised and swollen.At that moment, he was completely dumbfounded!“Wh-What…” Harvey covered his face.Smack!Adrian put in a lot more energy into his fourth slap, causing Harvey to fall to the floor, the bruise

    “What?”Harvey was slightly startled and did not understand what Adrian meant.Immediately after that, Adrian kneed Harvey in the face, causing the latter’s nose to break. Harvey started yelling in immense pain.Adrian took out his phone and made a call. “Contact the person in charge of Swallowston University’s internal affairs. I want him here before me within the next five minutes or his son’s a dead man.”Adrian was speaking to Mya.In less than five minutes after Adrian made the call, more than a dozen cars could be heard speeding toward Swallowston University and stopped in front of its gates. Everyone watched as the door opened and a middle-aged man in a suit rushed out and ran over.This was Collin Decker, Harvey’s father and the main person in charge of the university’s internal affairs. Naturally, the parents knew who Collin was and made way for him.Collin rushed over and immediately panicked when he saw his son, whose face was soaked in blood.“Father! You’re here! Q

    As Adrian looked at the father and son, he said, “Your son has stopped all these parents here from participating in the university’s anniversary event for selfish reasons. Even going as far as to boast about how his father is from Internal Affairs. What do you think about that?”Collin broke out in cold sweat and was too frightened to answer. Adrian merely smiled at his reaction and continued, “It’s the father’s fault if his son turns out rotten, or are you trying to say you had no clue what he has turned into?”“I-it’s all my fault,” Collin replied in a trembling voice.“No, you’re not at fault. Instead, it’s society’s fault for not teaching him a lesson.”Once again, Collin was too frightened to answer.“First off, I don’t care what you do in Internal Affairs, or what kind of person you are. So, based solely on your son’s actions today, I’m going to have both his legs broken. Do you have a problem with that?”Collin took a deep breath. ‘Both his legs? He’s my only son1 What am

    The trio entered Swallowston University, with the other participating parents following behind them.When they passed by the lecture halls, Adrian saw a large group of students surrounding a particular area. It seemed as though they were excited to see someone. Joanna and Samantha looked over as well.Joanna piped up, “Is that Sarah Walsh?”The large group was surrounding a gorgeous woman with a majestic temperament. She was escorted by a few bodyguards to leave the area as the students followed behind.Adrian had already heard from Adaline that the university had managed to invite Sarah Walsh, a big-time celebrity.‘Looks like she’s really popular.’Adrian continued to look at Sarah, while Joanna said, “Why don’t we follow them, Sam? She’s a celebrity, after all!”Samantha caressed her belly and replied, “You go ahead. There are too many people there.”Joanna shot a glance at the crowd and could not help but lament, “She seems really cool. I think she’s got an even greater rep

    Yet, all Adrian heard when he arrived was a flurry of angry insults.“Beat them up!”“Beat them up good!”Thud! Thud! Thud!Outside William’s courtyard was a young man surrounded by more than a dozen youngsters who were punching and kicking him as he curled up into a ball.As the young man was being severely beaten, an old man in his fifties was yelling, “Stop! Stop it!”However, the old man was also kicked down onto the floor by a youngster who proceeded to say, “You’d best be on your best behavior, William. Lopo wants me to tell you this is what happens to those who disobey him.“Beat them up!” the youngster yelled.Adrian was instantly able to recognize the young man as Sandy and William’s youngest son, Reed Falkner.‘This means the old man should be William.’Adrian instantly rushed over when he saw that the young man continued to be beaten up.Pow! Pow! Pow!After a flurry of lightning-fast punches, the youngsters who were ganging up on Reed were sent flying as they sc

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.

    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
