Adrian was giving her a taste of her own medicine.“Sir, please… I’m genuinely sorry for what I did and said. I’ll change. Please… Spare me!” Lucia cried.“Sure, I’ll spare you,” Adrian agreed.“Mya.”Mya walked over upon command, ready to receive her instructions.“It’d be a mercy to kill someone as cruel as her. Why don’t we send her to Black Sands Village in the desert to do some farming for the rest of her life instead? As for her son, I want him sent to an orphanage so that the two of them will never meet again.”“Yes, sir,” Mya answered.“No! Please!” Lucia grabbed at Adrian and cried, but Mya kicked her in the face, sending her rolling across the floor.Adrian got up and headed outside, still hearing Lucia’s horrified screams. Soon after, a few men marched inside to take her away.***After leaving Lex’s residence, Adrian got into the car and was asked by Mya once more, “Where to now, sir?”“Back to the university. The event should be almost over by now.”Mya acknowl

Sarah had a bright smile on her face.Her parents and she were traveling abroad four years ago when they were caught in a war. At the time, her parents were killed and she thought that she would die too. It was a soldier who carried her out of the war zone to send her to the nearest hospital.From that moment onward, the eighteen-year-old Sarah swore that she would stay by the man’s side for the rest of her life.Four full years had passed since then, and Sarah had put in great effort to become a female celebrity so that she could fulfill her dream of getting the man to notice her.Yet, she later discovered that the man had been promoted to Wyvern Peak’s war legate.***Adrian and Sarah stood gazing at one another.Meanwhile, the concert ended. Samantha and Joanna walked out of the hall and found Adrian and Sarah.However, Samantha did not approach Adrian and left with Joanna first.Adrian and Sarah stood facing one another on the field.After a long while, Adrian said, “You

“Who are you? Do you think you can just come and ask for Sarah’s autograph? Away with you. Don’t bother her.”Julian assumed that Adrian was asking for Sarah’s autograph so he immediately started berating Adrian.Noticing the situation, Sarah furrowed her eyebrows and said, “I should be the one asking you why you’re here, Julian. You should leave if you’re in a rush. I have my own matters to attend to here.”Sarah was not fond of Julian. She would not be here with him if not for the company’s arrangement.However, Julian was not bothered by her remark. He said to Sarah, “You’re a celebrity and are so pretty. It’s not safe for you to be out here by yourself, Sarah. Just look at that guy. What will you do if he suddenly wants to take advantage of you and there’s no one around to protect you?”Julian then pointed at Adrian and said angrily, “Hey you, why are you still here? I told you that you’re not getting an autograph. You should leave. Now.”Sarah was instantly taken aback and f

As soon as Julian’s voice faded away, Sarah swiftly made her way to Adrian’s side and stretched out her hand to rummage through his pocket.The legate would usually bring his War Legate Medallion wherever he went.Sarah soon located the medallion and took it out to show Julian. She said to him, “Are you illiterate, Julian? What are the words written on the medallion? Read it!”Julian looked over. “War Legate Draco’s Medallion!”Upon saying that, he abruptly took a few steps back out of shock. Then, with an “umm,” he raised his head to look at Adrian with his jaw agape. He was completely dumbfounded.In the next moment, Julian felt his face blush scarlet. He was so embarrassed that he wished he could hide himself.He was utterly humiliated.Adrian chuckled and said after seeing the amusing expression on Julian’s face, “Why? Is this how you’re going to react when you meet me?”Julian said awkwardly, “Oh… I’m sorry, Legate. I’m blind for not recognizing you. I’m sorry for offendin

Adrian nodded and said, “Mr. Falkner, I’m here to talk to you about Reed.”William heaved a sigh. “My eldest has already passed, and now my youngest is determined to avenge his mother and brother. I don’t know what to do. He’s too defiant and won’t listen to my advice at all,” William said in a dejected tone.“Actually, the problem stems from you,” Adrian said.“From me?” William hastily inquired.Adrian answered, “Frankly, Reed is only doing what a normal person would do after experiencing trauma. His mother and brother were killed by bad people. Any ordinary person would want revenge. This is completely normal and aligns with the mentality of today’s youngsters.“The person with the problem is you.”William said, “I’m already trying my best to stop him and have tried all sorts of methods. Yet, the more I try to stop him, the more he rebels against me.“Tell me. What am I supposed to do? I’m in a dilemma.”Adrian shook his head. “That is exactly why I’m here today—to talk abou

It was already dark by the time Adrian returned to Jewel Road.Joanna and Samantha were having dinner in the dining room. Noticing that Adrian was home, Joanna narrowed her eyes and said, “Oh? The big hero is home. How are things between you and Sarah?”Samantha looked at Adrian curiously as well.Adrian was stunned. It seemed like the two women had witnessed the interaction between him and Sarah. Then, he told them Sarah’s story.Samantha and Joanna lay on the table and laughed upon hearing Adrian’s story.Joanna said, “You’re quite something, aren’t you? She’s supposed to be your mistress yet she turned into your daughter in the end? That’s impressive!”Adrian felt helpless. However, he figured that he would not be able to get rid of Sarah if he did not do this. He simply shrugged. “I feel very troubled over this too. However, the development of the situation is not unfavorable. We’ll think about how to handle it later.”Joanna gave Adrian a thumbs up. He had found himself a d

“Where are they now?” Adrian asked.“They’re drinking at a bar,” answered Daniel.“Bring some people and go there with me.”“Yes, sir.”After hanging up the call, Adrian immediately got into the car and drove away from Jewel Road.The first guardian and the chief secretary went missing when the city was invaded by Luposia. Their departments had pushed the responsibility to one another during the incident, and Adrian had yet to sort out this situation with them.However, a woman wearing a mask waved at Adrian from the main road far away from him as soon as he drove down the mountainous paths of Jewel Road.He fixed his eyes upon the woman and discovered that it was Sarah. She hastily walked over and removed her mask. She asked, “Dad, where are you going?”Adrian said, “Just call me ‘Adrian’ will you? Also, what brings you here?”“I bought a house on Jewel Road and now live near you. You gave me permission to stay in Swallowston so I’d like to be as close to you as possible,” an

Soon, Adrian led his troop—Mya and the others—to Swallowston Hotel.Internal Affairs had always been in control of the whole city, ensuring that everything was in good order. But now, not only had it failed to fulfill its duty, but the department was a chaotic mess with no one managing it.The first guardian and the chief secretary had been nowhere to be found. They vanished when Swallowston needed them the most. And upon their return, they were off having a good time.Adrian would never allow them to do this.***Meanwhile, a few middle-aged men were sitting in a private room in the Swallowston Hotel and were accompanied by four to five attractive young women. All sorts of delicacies were served on the table, the smell of alcohol permeating the room that was filled with cigarette smoke.Two people were sitting in the room. One of them was the chief secretary of Swallowston’s Internal Affairs named Asher Chumber while the other was the first guardian, Harial Wayland.Other than

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?

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
