Adrian smiled upon hearing that. “In that case, let’s get prepared.”Samantha nodded. If Swallowston Bank took the liberty to call, it signified that Bailar’s funding issue could be easily solved.She felt rather excited. Without a moment’s hesitation, she quickly packed up and drove to Swallowston Bank’s headquarters with Adrian.***Half an hour later, Adrian and Samantha arrived at Swallowston Bank’s headquarters.As soon as they got out of the car, Samantha walked toward the bank in excitement. However, a voice rang out before she stepped into the building. “Isn’t that my cousin and his wife? What a coincidence, meeting you guys here.”Samantha was stunned.Adrian turned around to see who it was. He saw a young man dressed in a suit and a woman walking over to them from the bank’s entrance.Samantha furrowed her eyebrows at the sight of the young man. His name was Cedric Xander, and he was Adrian’s cousin. He was Harold’s grandson and Leonard’s son.“Let’s go, ignore him,”

Once Cedric finished speaking, Adrian’s arm shook as a burst of power radiated through it. Cedric was scared out of his wits and instantly backed away in shock.Cedric’s eyes widened in surprise. He felt a sense of threat for just a brief moment.However, he was a proud man. He instantly said in a fury, “Adrian, you have no appreciation for my kindness. In that case, I’m going to make a call to Swallowston Bank. You’re not stepping foot in there.”Adrian’s interest was piqued. He smiled and said, “Go ahead and try. I’d like to see if I’m capable of entering Swallowston Bank today.”Cedric furrowed his eyebrows. He came to the bank today to withdraw some money and did not expect to bump into Adrian.In truth, he had found out about Adrian’s return some time ago. He had not expected this deadbeat to disrespect him.“Very well. Just wait.” Cedric pointed at Adrian.As he spoke, Cedric began to dial a number on his phone.Samantha grew anxious when she saw Cedric making the call. S

“Samuel?” Cedric was instantly delighted at the sight of the young man.It was Samuel—the general manager of Swallowston Bank.Cedric quickly approached him and said, “Thank you for taking the trouble to do this, Samuel. These two are trying to get into the bank. I’ll leave the rest to you.”Cedric turned to look at Adrian and Samantha in contempt as he spoke.Samantha was panic-stricken and hastily stepped forward to explain, “Hello, Mr. Samuel. I have an appointment with Ms. Mandy.”Samuel looked at Samantha and said, “Ms. Mandy?”Then, he sniggered. “What nonsense are you talking about? There’s only one Ms. Mandy in Swallowston Bank and she’s the president. She’s one of the top twenty richest people in Swallowston. Why would the president have an appointment with you?”Samuel stared at Samantha with a malicious expression. “You don’t even know how to boast. Who do you think you are to get an appointment with the president?”Samantha was dumbfounded. The person who called her

Cedric, who was standing next to Samuel, was stunned as well.“Ms. Mandy, why did you…” Samuel covered his cheek and looked at Mandy in a daze.“I’ll deal with you later, you snobby prick,” berated Mandy in anger.Samuel was dumbfounded.Meanwhile, Mandy hastily made her way toward Adrian and Samantha and bowed to them. “Mr. Adrian, Ms. Samantha, I’m truly sorry that my subordinate didn’t know any better and offended you.”Samantha was stunned.She was incredulous, and so was Samuel.Even Cedric’s jaw dropped at this very moment and his expression was filled with astoundment.Mandy had actually bowed to Adrian and Samantha.“Umm… Uh…”Samantha was panic-stricken because she had never been treated with such respect before. Then, she hastily bowed to Mandy too. “Ms. Mandy, thank you for taking the time to do this.”Mandy smiled and her gaze landed on Adrian. Daniel had sent her a text a little while ago and instructed her to entertain Samantha.Other than Battle Warrior Lucas

Samuel and Cedric were completely at a loss for words as they were faced with this unexpected turn of events.They were distraught. They could only watch helplessly as Adrian and Samantha followed Mandy into Swallowston Bank.They had mixed feelings about the situation.“Samuel, umm…”Once Mandy and Samantha left, Cedric looked at Samuel awkwardly and had trouble finding the words to say.Samuel flew into a rage. He turned around to glare at Cedric and roared, “Cedric, you got me in some deep sh*t today!”Pow!Samuel punched Cedric in the face.Cedric fell face-down to the ground and was panic-stricken. “Samuel, listen to me! Samuel! I didn’t know that this would happen either!”Samuel could not be bothered to speak to Cedric as he proceeded to beat Cedric up.***Meanwhile, in the most luxurious VIP reception room on the highest floor of the twenty-four-story-tall Swallowston Bank, Mandy opened the door and said, “Ms. Samantha, Mr. Adrian, this way please.”Samantha thanke

Samantha glanced at Adrian as she spoke.Mandy heaved a sigh. With her keen intuition, she was able to read the situation.‘He’s the great legate who’s countless times more powerful than Henry, yet he hasn’t told Ms. Samantha who he really is.’Mandy smiled and said, “I suppose you could say Henry and I were friends. We worked together in the past and he was very nice to me. So, how could I be ungracious when his son and daughter-in-law need my help?”In truth, Mandy had a little fling with Henry back then.Samantha instantly heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. ‘So she’s only being so courteous to me because of Henry.“Thank you, Ms. Mandy.”Mandy nodded and asked, “Would fifteen million dollars suffice?”“Fifteen million dollars?!” Samantha exclaimed in shock.Mandy was slightly startled before saying, “Let’s go with thirty million then.”“Thirty million dollars?!?!?!” Samantha was even more shocked.Confused, Mandy wondered why thirty million dollars was still ins

Samantha was shocked at how direct Adrian was at rejecting Mandy’s offer.However, Mandy smiled before Samantha could admonish Adrian and said, “Another day then. Let me see you out, Mr. Adrian, Sam.”Hence, Samantha had no choice but to keep her thoughts to herself.***Samantha felt dazed after leaving Swallowston Bank, thinking everything that happened was just a dream.‘Mandy’s gave me a loan of a few million dollars without even asking me to sign an agreement. With that money, I’ll be able to recruit as many people as I want to build up the marketing department, settle down in Swallow Central, and secure a brighter future for Bailar. This is great!’This was the best news Samantha had received over the past few days. As she drove back to Bailar, Adrian leaned back in the passenger seat to rest.“Why did you behave so rudely toward Mandy back there?’ she asked, “What if she decided to not give me the loan because of that?”Samantha scowled. ‘I can forget about the fact that

The four million and five hundred thousand dollars from Mandy was sufficient for Bailar to continue its development.Meanwhile, Adrian followed Samantha wherever she went over the next two days. He would even wait for her while she was in business discussions.At first, Samantha was slightly weirded out that he followed her everywhere, but after two days, she got used to his presence. In fact, his presence made her feel a little safer. In the past, she would always be afraid that the people she met up with for business discussions would have malicious intentions toward her. However, that changed now that Adrian was around.One evening after Samantha was done with a very exhausting day, she received a phone call when she was about to pack up and leave the office. She answered and found that it was from Cassey.“Sam, Mario and I will be getting married two days from now. I’ll forego the part where I send you an official invitation, but make sure you arrive early that morning. You’r

The crimson divine lightning was an ancient, destructive force, capable of annihilating a person instantly, reducing both body and soul to nothingness.Despite this peril, Adrian stood unfazed, exuding an almost defiant calm that struck onlookers as recklessly suicidal.A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he dismissed Andy's warning.Once Adrian made a decision, others' opinions became meaningless.

Adrian's face darkened.Spatial fragments hurtling toward him radiated lethal force. On closer inspection, each shard bristled with deadly intent.Terrifying energies erupted, shaking the void as if it might collapse entirely.Below, the Holy Son observed with a cold smirk. "Hahaha! Let's see how you survive this. With the gravitational force on you now exceeding 80,000 units, you're nothing but an overconfident ant."Adrian shot him an icy glance. "Oh? Then you're not even on par with an ant."The Holy Son trembled with fury. He burned with the urge to strike Adrian down.Adrian had become both his greatest humiliation and the demon haunting his heart. Unless he destroyed Adrian, his future ambitions would remain stifled.In the distance, Kurt watched grimly. He hadn't expected Adrian to grow so formidable or to trigger such pivotal events.Adrian's suppression of the Holy Son only confirmed the man's long-held suspicion: Adrian was no ordinary immortal.Now that Adrian had p

The Holy Son cast a cold glance at Andy.Adrian ignored them both, fixing his gaze on the staircase ahead.His focus remained unwavering. Now that one nuisance had been dealt with, he intended to press forward. If he'd been certain he could kill the Holy Son earlier, he wouldn't have hesitated.For Adrian, leaving loose ends was never an option. When he chose to kill, he made sure the deed was done.That was his nature—a man of decisive action. With calm resolve, he resumed his ascent, stepping deliberately and methodically up the heavenly stairs.From below, Andy watched and scoffed. "Haha, I knew Adrian wasn't ordinary. Seems like these so-called elites aren't that impressive after all."The Holy Son glared at Adrian, seething with killing intent.Adrian, however, remained unfazed, his attention fixed elsewhere.Suddenly, he sensed a mysterious force emanating from the clouds above the staircase. It seemed to be calling to him, though its nature was unclear.Meanwhile, Finni

The Holy Son had never endured such humiliation. In his world, he was always the oppressor—no one dared challenge him.His gaze fixed on Adrian, eyes dark and cold. If looks could kill, Adrian would have perished a thousand times.Before he could react, Adrian's fist crashed into his right shoulder with bone-shattering force.A sickening crack echoed through the air."Ahh!" A scream of agony tore from the Holy Son's throat.In moments, he was defeated.Below, Andy watched the scene unfold, stunned. He'd hoped Adrian would put the arrogant Holy Son in his place, but seeing it happen left him speechless."That's the Holy Son," he muttered in disbelief.Yet in Adrian's hands, he looked like worthless trash.Above, a faint smile tugged at Finnian's lips. "Haha! This kid is truly remarkable. He never stops surprising us."Suddenly, a figure shot down from the clouds—a middle-aged man from Sacred Lunaland. His face darkened as he took in the sight of the humiliated Holy Son sprawle

A terrifying burst of power erupted outward.At that instant, Adrian launched a powerful punch, meeting his opponent's fist head-on.The clash generated a shockwave, sending sparks flying in every direction.The Holy Son fixed a cold glare on Adrian and roared, "Brat, let's see how you die this time!"He relished the idea of watching Adrian fall, convinced the moment of his enemy's defeat had finally arrived.He intended to hurl Adrian off the staircase, forcing him into a state of utter despair—a fate worse than death.The pressure crushing down on Adrian far exceeded what the Holy Son himself could withstand.The destructive force around them felt capable of pulverizing a mountain into dust.Yet Adrian remained unfazed. A cold, indifferent smile played on his lips. "Is that so? Do you really think you'll win with such petty tricks?"To Adrian, the Holy Son was a mere nuisance. Without his powerful connections, he wouldn't even warrant a passing glance.Had the Holy Son know

The staircase before Adrian exerted a crushing 60,000 units of force on his body.

Yet he stood unyielding, defiant, disbelief etched on his face.The Holy Son sneered. "This time, you're dead. With lightning and gravity combined, your body will be pulverized."Adrian smirked. "Is that so? Let's see who's really courting death!"With explosive power, Adrian launched a devastating strike, shattering the space before him.The thunder's force meant nothing as he pressed forward, unstoppable,

Terrifying forces descended from the void, crashing down on Adrian with devastating power. His entire body was caught in the relentless assault.At that moment, Adrian's bones shattered under the overwhelming weight.The force pressing down on him exceeded 60,000 units, surging to a crushing 70,000 units as if the heavens themselves sought to destroy him.The weight was nearly unbearable, threatening to collapse Adrian.Yet, his face remained cold and resolute as he growled, "Hmph! Killing me won't be that easy."As soon as he finished speaking, Adrian's golden fist shot forward.The punch was lightning-fast, shattering the void with earth-shaking force.To his surprise, the gravitational pressure around him lessened considerably. Adrian's eyes flickered—he hadn't expected gravity to be breakable.His expression grew cold and determined. If gravity could be shattered, he wouldn't hold back.

In response to the Holy Son's mocking words, Adrian glanced at him.How ridiculous. Did the Holy Son truly think his derision would matter? Did he believe Adrian was incapable?"Is that so?" Adrian retorted coldly, then leaped forward, closing the gap and standing alongside the Holy Son with a single bound.The Holy Son sneered.Adrian attempting to stand shoulder to shoulder with him? Laughable!He felt the gravitational force on Adrian had reached an astonishing 40,000 units, while he was enduring only 30,000 units.If Adrian dared push forward, the force would rise to 60,000 units—a weight even a seasoned body expert would struggle to withstand.One move from the Holy Son, and Adrian would be crushed and thrown off the steps."Adrian, be careful! It's about to reach 60,000 units!" Andy's voice echoed, filled with concern. Adrian's boldness bordered on recklessness.A force of 60,000 units could suppress even the strongest physical experts.The crowd could hardly fathom any

As soon as Adrian finished speaking, he leaped forward, clearing three steps in a single bound.Below, Andy stood stunned. Adrian's audacity left him speechless.While others climbed step by step, Adrian defied convention, vaulting over multiple steps at once.Andy couldn't help but admire Adrian's remarkable physical resilience.Adrian's strength was beyond comprehension. Even under the relentless pull of gravity, he remained steady, pressing forward.Unbeknownst to Andy, Adrian's body was naturally fortified, absorbing the immense forces with little effect. His physical strength alone could withstand these relentless attacks.A surge of violent energy crashed into Adrian, sending waves of searing pain through his body. The excruciating sensation consumed him."Break!"Adrian gritted his teeth as the overwhelming pressure bore down on him. It felt as though tens of thousands of pounds were hammering his body.The pain was indescribable, yet his expression remained cold and de
