The Return of the War Legate Chapter 55
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 Return of the War Legate Chapter 58
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

Of course, Samantha knew Adaline’s true opinion on the matter.She shot a smile at Adaline and consoled her by saying, “Go ahead and walk the path you want. There’s no need to overthink the situation, nor is there a need for you to care what others think of you.”Adaline nodded.At this moment, Rue handed Adaline a bank card and said, “There’s money in there for your tuition fees and daily necessities. Please spend it wisely.”Adaline accepted the card without a word, but Adrian could tell she truly did not wish to stay on campus.‘But if she doesn’t stay there, she’ll have to travel and that’s very inconvenient. Especially if she has any late-night study sessions.’At that thought, Adrian decided not to comment on the matter.Rue then looked at him and said, “Adrian, could you send your sister to university tomorrow? Help her move into the dorm before coming home. And don’t forget to greet her dorm mates if you meet them.”Adrian had nothing better to do the next day, plus his

“Where’s your car?” Adaline asked in confusion.“I’ve already made a call, so let’s give it a minute.”‘What in the world is he doing now?’ Adaline wondered.Within less than ten minutes, an exquisite silver-colored Porsche Cayenne Turbo Coupé could suddenly be heard driving toward the siblings with its engines blaring.A car that was worth one and a half million dollars stopped right in front of the siblings.The car doors opened, revealing a stunning woman in a uniform dress. She got out and handed the keys to Adrian. “Here’s your car, sir.”“Thank you. Good work,” Adrian said.The woman smiled and flagged down a cab for herself. With the keys, Adrian opened the storage compartment and looked at Ada. “Come on, put your luggage inside, and let’s head off.”Adaline was too stunned to speak. She may not be familiar with cars, but even she could tell that the Porsche in front of her was worth more than a million dollars.She had not been in a car this luxurious ever since Henr

Adrian merely smiled and chose not to answer Adaline’s question.Instead, he said, “Just focus on your studies, okay? You shouldn’t live your future as an ordinary woman. I’m counting on you to take care of our family.”Adaline felt touched by Adrian’s words. When he first returned, she thought that her elder brother had achieved nothing over the past seven years. But she now realized that the truth was far from what she imagined.Not only was he able to drive a luxury car, but he was also able to have people like Lucas Jenner and Daniel Summers come to his aid.Adrian was the one who had arranged everything that had happened thus far.‘I honestly have no idea who Adrian is now, but one thing I know for sure is that everything will be different from now on.’***Two hours later at Swallowston University, one of the top reputable universities throughout Southrive.Adrian and Adaline pulled up in the gray Porsche. His million-dollar car attracted a lot of attention from the stude
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 62
Adaline was about to follow a senior student from the reception counter to complete the admission procedures when Adrian took her to the university’s main office building instead.Curious, Adaline asked, “Why are we heading to the office when the dorms are over there? I can handle the rest from here, so I think it’s about time for you to leave.”“I’m going to introduce you to someone. I’ll leave once I’ve helped you settle down.”Adaline remained silent, not knowing to whom Adrian was going to introduce her.When they arrived at the office building, Adrian brought Adaline upstairs and headed straight for the chancellor’s office. However, there was no one inside the office when they entered.“Let’s sit here for a while.”“Adrian, what are we doing in the chancellor’s office?” Adaline seemed tense.‘The chancellor is the one with the highest authority in a university!’ she thought.“Let’s just sit and wait for a while.” Adrian then sat on the sofa and picked up a magazine to flip

What had initially appeared to be a dense swarm of beasts now seemed far less daunting.Adrian smiled slightly, satisfied. This was the result he had hoped for.At that moment, the Soul Devouring Sword glowed even more intensely.Adrian smiled faintly again. The sword was growing stronger, and that worked in his favor.He let out a cold chuckle. "Now, let's see what can stop me."As his words fell, a powerful, terrifying roar reverberated in the distance.A violent sound, full of rage, tore through the air. It seemed an even more fearsome beast was approaching.Adrian's eyes gleamed coldly as he sensed the change.From the distant horizon, a massive creature emerged from the void.It was an ancient beast—a bird, to be precise.Adrian's eyes widened in surprise. He hadn't expected it to be an ancient beast, let alone one as powerful as the Red Feather Divine Bird.The bird's greatest strength lay in its wings, forged from mystic iron. A single blow from those wings could infl

Adrian was acutely aware of his surroundings, but his focus remained on recovering his strength. He couldn't afford to be distracted by what was happening outside.This moment was critical for Adrian. He had to regain his power quickly. In a place like this, any weakness would likely lead to his death.Even the strongest men couldn't survive waves of demonic beasts without their full strength.As the saying went, "A war of attrition is the key to victory."Adrian understood this better than ever.Thousands of beasts seemed to be charging at him, but he didn't waste time thinking about it. His priority was to restore his strength and confront these terrifying creatures.The air crackled with violent energy as a massive beast charged at him.This creature, at the peak of the Void Stage, exuded an aura of pure terror.Adrian could feel his power slowly returning as he rose to his feet.

Adrian's speed remained astonishing. He unleashed his strength again while the Holy Son reached the thirtieth step below him. Despite the progress, the gap between them was still immense. The Holy Son hadn't expected Adrian to catch up so quickly. By now, Adrian had already reached the seventieth step. In an instant, Adrian's power surged, and his body radiated a brilliant glow. A golden barrier enveloped him, exuding an intimidating aura that discouraged anyone from approaching. For the Holy Son, this was a bitter humiliation. Adrian's rise felt like a slap in the face.Not long ago, he had mocked Adrian as insignificant, but now it seemed clear who truly deserved that label. Rage consumed him. Adrian surged up to the seventy-fifth step. Suddenly, the sensation of space shifting gripped him—he was about to enter a new realm. In a flash, he found himself in a vast grassland. Scanning his surroundings with sharp, alert eyes, he couldn't discern his location but recognize

This scene left Andy speechless. The stairs were undeniably terrifying, yet Adrian ascended them with ease.Andy had started the climb first but now found himself near the back.Kurt had initially lingered, merely observing.When he finally began his ascent, his strength made the climb seem effortless.His primary duty was to protect the Holy Son, so he advanced swiftly and without hesitation. He knew that if he failed and something happened to the Holy Son, responsibility would rest squarely on his shoulders.Meanwhile, Adrian dashed at an astonishing speed, rapidly closing the distance between himself and Finnian.Finnian's eyes widened with surprise as he watched Adrian. "What kind of person are you, kid? With such a powerful physique... your future promises to be extraordinary."Adrian chuckled modestly. "You're too kind. My abilities are hardly worth mentioning."He saw no reason to boast, knowing Finnian wasn't an ordinary figure. If Finnian unleashed his true power, Adri

Adrian's energy surged as the body-strengthening methods activated within him. His nerves tightened, and his blood pulsed with vitality, every cell brimming with excitement.As the divine lightning descended, Adrian's body transformed into a blazing furnace.Crimson lightning poured into him, tempering and forging his form like molten steel in a smith's forge.Terrifying bolts struck him repeatedly, yet his eyes gleamed with exhilaration rather than fear.Finnian watched in stunned disbelief. "How is this possible? Could this guy truly be one of the legendary immortals?"Memories surfaced in Finnian's mind. He had witnessed such power before—but only in a bygone era. He never imagined he would see it again.Long ago, he had encountered a prodigy with the Thunder God Physique, someone capable of absorbing divine lightning without harm. Instead, the lightning strengthened their body, transforming them into a near-unstoppable force.Now, Adrian exhibited the same phenomenon.Obliv

Adrian leaped lightly, and 90,000 units of force pressed down on his body. He was momentarily stunned but, to his surprise, found he could withstand it.At his previous strength, such immense gravitational pressure would have been insurmountable. While he could now endure it, the ease with which he managed was entirely unexpected.Perplexed, Adrian pondered whether the crimson divine lightning that had fused with his body was the source of his newfound resilience. The possibility left him in awe.Was the crimson lightning truly that formidable?He struggled to comprehend it but couldn't suppress a surge of joy. Misfortune seemed to have turned into fortune.If the lightning was truly this beneficial, he wouldn't mind being struck a few more times. Surely, his body would grow even stronger.With renewed determination, Adrian took another step forward.Below, Andy and the others watched, speechless.To them, Adrian hardly seemed human. His effortless ascent and composed demeanor

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. What mattered was whether his actions aligned with his expectations.Within him, energy began to circulate.The violent crackle of lightning roared through the sky, sending a bone-chilling resonance across the land.Many trembled at the ominous sound.Adrian's expression hardened as his body emitted faint crackling sounds.The crimson lightning's devastating power surged through him, making every cell in his body tremble under its crushing intensity.Yet, despite the searing pain, a glimmer of satisfaction lit his eyes.

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
