The Return of the War Legate Chapter 76
“Okay!“Here. You should eat more.” Rue was excited and piled more food onto Samantha’s plate.The family was in the midst of dinner when a frantic knocking came from outside the door. Rue went to answer it. She furrowed her eyebrows at the sight of the people standing outside. “What brings you here?”“What is it? Judging by your tone, am I not allowed to visit my granddaughter?” said Violet in a slightly angry tone.“That’s right, that’s right. You’re being quite disrespectful. Isn’t it perfectly justifiable for my grandmother to visit Samantha?” Francis said angrily.Rue was not fond of these Cowells, and she had not expected them to come knocking on her door again tonight. But she felt it inappropriate to reject them so she said, “Please, come in.”Violet and the other Cowells marched into the house. Samantha stood up in astonishment when she saw Violet and hastily said, “Why are you here, Grandmother? Have you eaten? Come and join us for dinner!”Violet looked solemn and her

“What?”The Cowells were shocked upon hearing Adrian’s remark. Not even Violet had expected Adrian to agree so easily.On the other hand, tears instantly started streaming down Samantha’s face when she heard what Adrian said. She roared, “What nonsense are you saying, Adrian?! Bailar is mine! Why would I give it to them?!”“I’m your grandmother, Samantha! Do you not have any respect for me?!” said Violet angrily upon hearing Samantha’s words.“I…” Samantha was shaken. Violet was going back on her word. Moreover, she did it so shamelessly and her actions left Samantha feeling hopeless.Adrian simply smiled at Samantha and comforted her by saying, “Don’t worry, Sam. The Cowells are jealous of you and came to take back the company after finding out about your collaboration with Nine Kings and that it got a spot in Swallow Central. Since they want it, let them have it.”“Adrian, what nonsense are you on about?” said Samantha as she sobbed.Adrian paid no attention to Samantha. He lo

The Cowells shook with excitement as they made their way there.“Hahaha! Bailar is ours, Grandmother. We got a contract with Nine Kings and we have a spot in Swallow Central. Our family’s status will rise from today forth!”Francis was growing restless in his seat, his face beaming with excitement.Clara was delighted as well. She inhaled a deep breath and said, “Our family will hold a different status from today onward. We will become an influential family of Swallowston when we open up at Swallow Central.”Nathan nodded and said, “Clara’s right, Mother. Our family’s status is about to change. The collaboration with Nine Kings and the Swallow Central spot are contributions of our family.“I’d like to see who in Swallowston will look down upon the Cowells from now on.”The Cowells felt really good about themselves and were delighted beyond comparison.Violet nodded and said, “Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Put all your efforts into managing the company properly once we

Through painstaking efforts, Bailar got the chance to rise again, yet it was seized by the Cowells.To Samantha, losing the company was losing her only opportunity to succeed. But what else could she do now?She shut her eyes as she lay in Adrian’s arms. She did not want to think or do anything.“Come on, get up.” Adrian caressed her hair.Samantha’s red eyes brimmed with tears. She did not wish to move.Adrian said, “Sam, forget about what happened for now. Just trust me. I have my ways to handle the situation.”Samantha raised her head and said in a hoarse voice, “Ways? What ways do you have? If you had your ways, you wouldn’t have let the Cowells take Bailar.”“They’ll return it in the same way they took it. Don’t worry,” Adrian comforted her.It would be useless for him to explain further at this point.Samantha inhaled deeply. She made up her mind to deal with the situation. Then, she said, “Let go of me. I’m fine. I’m going to get ready to attend Cassey’s wedding.“Fran

On the contrary, it added a tinge of rusticness to her demeanor.After hanging up the call, Samantha said to Adrian, “Adrian, speak as little as you can when we’re at the wedding. I have many friends attending the wedding and they will target you if you talk.”Adrian nodded. He was aware of Cassey’s goal, of course, but he did not comment further.Samantha sped off to Swallowston Hotel where Cassey was getting married to Mario today.***As Samantha and Adrian headed to the hotel to attend Cassey’s wedding, the Cowells were at Bailar.Violet immediately called for an important meeting with Bailar’s staff members in the boardroom that morning. The managers of Bailar’s major departments and the Cowells were in attendance.During the meeting, Violet fired almost all the managers and assigned her family members to these posts. She fired Samantha’s assistant, Nina, too.There was a reshuffling in Bailar’s organization and the Cowells were promoted to top-level positions.At this ex

Nine Kings was a distinguished company in Swallowston that was considered one of the tops.The Cowells drove to Nine Kings in three separate cars and were beyond excited. After all, Liam was an influential person in Swallowston so it was a massive event for the Cowells to meet him.“Hahaha, Liam will treat us to the finest drinks for sure! Our family is truly impressive.” Francis could not refrain from chuckling in excitement as he sat in the car. He was convinced that Liam would feel more secure in the contract they signed with Bailar now that the Cowells had taken over.Clara said, “Francis is right. Liam will surely treat us with courtesy now that our status is different.”Next to her, Clara’s boyfriend, Simon smiled. “I heard talks about Liam. He’s fond of working with capable people.“On a side note, he nominated my family, the Blacks, as being capable in the past. He’ll certainly be very excited to host me today and to know that the Cowells and Blacks are working together.”
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 82
Meanwhile, Liam was busy going over documents in his office when the phone on his table rang.His secretary, June, walked into the room and answered the call on his behalf. “Hello, this is the office of Liam Starr.“What did you say? Why did they hit you?“All right. Don’t cry. Send them up and go get yourself checked at a hospital.”“Okay.” After hanging up the call, the receptionist wiped away her tears and said in a hoarse voice, “The director has given permission for you to head upstairs.”The Cowells beamed upon hearing this, and Violet walked straight into the elevator.Francis cussed the receptionist in a malicious tone, “F*ck. Would I have hit you if you had just done that from the start?”As he spoke, he joined Violet in heading upstairs.In Liam’s office, June put the phone back in the receiver and reported, “Mr. Liam, there are some people from the Cowell Group who want to meet you. They slapped our receptionist downstairs earlier.”“The Cowell Group?” Liam was puzz

Soon, the sound of someone knocking on a door echoed. The Cowells had arrived.“Come in,” said June.The door opened. Violet walked into the office, cane in hand and in the lead of the other Cowells.Every member of the Cowells appeared spirited and elated.Violet said, “It’s been a long time since we last met, Liam.”Violet was acquainted with Liam as he used to be a nobody in the past and used to work for Channing.Following Violet’s opening remark, the rest of the Cowells introduced themselves.“Hello, Mr. Liam. My name is Nathan Cowell.”“I’m Hugo Cowell.”“Hello, Mr. Liam. My name is Francis Cowell. Hugo is my father,” said Francis.“Greetings, Mr. Liam. I’m Simon Black from the Black family,” said Simon.“Mr. Liam. I’m Simon’s fiancee,” said Clara.Liam was rather astounded by the Cowells’ slew of self-introduction. In his opinion, it was unnecessary for him to get acquainted with all these people.The Cowells were expecting Liam to show them the courtesy by offering

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
