The Return of the War Legate Chapter 89
Everyone was left flabbergasted by Adrian’s statement while Dickson and Mario looked at each other.Samantha too looked at Adrian in confusion, not understanding what he had just said.Everyone took a moment to process his words, and what followed was a huge round of laughter. They laughed so hard that they started tearing up.Mario even pointed at Adrian while laughing and said, “Hahaha! Did he just call us all poor little sh*ts? Does he have a few screws loose? How could we possibly be poor when we’ve got so much wealth?”“Bzzt, bzzt, bzzt…!”Mario’s phone instantly started ringing after he said that.Cassey said, “Your phone’s ringing, Mario.”With a nod, Mario fished it. He felt curious when he saw who it was. “It’s my father… Isn’t he here welcoming his friends and family?”“He must be looking for you for something important,” Cassey said.Mario knew something important had indeed happened, so he answered and said, “Yes, Father? Why are you—”“Where are you, you little r
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 90
Meanwhile, Cassey stood frozen to the spot as she watched her friends and relatives leave the venue.Dickson and the others were all shocked, still unable to apprehend what had just happened.This included Samantha, who looked at Adrian for a while before turning to look at Cassey.At that moment, Dickson let out a sigh and shook his head. “I’m sure Mario has somehow offended a very important person due to his arrogance. It caused the Pykes to go bankrupt.“I, on the other hand, am quite confident in my good character, so I’m safe.”Hearing this, Adrian smiled and said, “You seem really confident in yourself, Dickson. However, I’m willing to bet you’re going to end up exactly like Mario in less than a minute. Your father will be calling you very soon too.”“Hahaha!” Dickson let off a hearty laugh. “Do you think you’re the one who caused the Pykes to go bankrupt? You just got f*cking lucky back there. You dare to say my father will call me?”Dickson was filled with endless confid

None of them were able to utter a single word.Just a moment ago, they were all boasting about how they had a net worth of either a hundred and fifty thousand dollars or even seventy thousand dollars. But now, both Mario and Dickson had been plunged into bankruptcy.Most importantly, Cassey’s wedding had to be canceled since the Pykes could not afford to pay the hotel for their wedding.The entire place fell into an awkward silence as every single one of Samantha’s former classmates’ faces turned red. This was especially true for Cassey, who could only look at Adrian like a fool.Amidst their silence, Adrian slowly sat on the sofa and said, “Does anyone else have a net worth of a hundred and fifty thousand dollars? Hmm?”Everyone felt a chill run down their spine, not daring to utter a single word.Adrian found this laughable and continued, “You guys were all flaunting your wealth earlier, so why the sudden silence? Are you all chickening out already? Where did all that gusto go?
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 92
At that moment, one of the former classmates said, “Come on, guys. Let’s go.”A few of them who were ashamed of themselves got up and left, afraid that Adrian might end up doing the same to them. Soon, all of them had left, including Cassey.The main hall was completely empty, leaving only the couple inside.Adrian passed the glass of milk to Samantha with a smile on his face and said, “Finally, some peace and quiet. Have a drink. We’ll leave after we’re done with our food.”Samantha accepted the glass and placed it on the table.“What just happened, Adrian? Why have Mario and Dickson gone bankrupt? How could you possibly know they were going to go bankrupt within such a short time? Did you cause all that?“Also, look at these dishes you’ve ordered! How are we supposed to pay for them?”Samantha’s mind was filled with all sorts of questions.‘Forget Mario and Dickson, how are we supposed to pay for this table of food? I’m sure it’ll cost us at least twenty thousand dollars. The

Samantha was finally able to put down her concerns.She felt rather brokenhearted when she saw what Adrian had done before, never realizing that he had planned every single detail.‘He isn’t as reckless as I thought he’d be.’Thus, her opinion of him changed ever so slightly.The pair headed home after they were done having lunch.Without her company, Samantha was at a loss, not knowing what her future was going to be like. However, work was still an important part of every person’s life.When she got home, Samantha took out her laptop and began typing up her resume to apply for a job.Her life was filled with ups and downs—being forced to work as a normal employee after being an employer at a major company.Samantha did not leave the house the entire afternoon, sending her resume to company after company in hopes of finding a decent job.Meanwhile, Adrian was in the living room watching television.It was not until three in the afternoon that she suddenly received a message.
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 94
This was the first time Samantha had ever seen Adrian in a different light ever since he returned.He would always think so far ahead that Samantha felt that the man before her was no different than Henry, the man who had ruled over Swallowston in the past.From the beginning, she had refused to believe that Henry’s son was a deadbeat.When Adrian heard this compliment, he smiled and said, “Have you forgotten who I am? There’s no need for me to have to use my head to think about something so trivial. I could’ve done it with my eyes closed.”“Pfft!” Samantha could not stop herself from laughing before she shot him a glare. “Look at your ego blow up after a single compliment.”Even so, Samantha was still very surprised by Adrian’s insight. She then asked, “You said my grandmother might come looking for me very soon. What makes you say that?”“Because she’s not a fool. She knows that you’re the only one whom Nine Kings want to work with, and you’re the only reason Bailar was able to

They were clearly here to ask Samantha for help, yet when it actually came to asking, they ended up ordering her to do all those things instead.None of the Cowells had any intention of humbling themselves.In fact, even Francis was laughing as he said, “She’s right. We’re ordering you to do those things for us, not beg you for them. You aren’t worthy of such a luxury.”Nathan nor Hugo stepped up to stop those two from saying such hurtful things, and neither did Violet.With a supremely arrogant expression, Violet said, “So, there you have it. When are you going to make the trip to Nine Kings?”“I…”At the end of the day, the Cowells were her family, so Samantha had no idea how she should reject them. Instead, she turned around to look at Adrian, hoping he would say something on her behalf.This was the very first time Samantha was relying on Adrian to be her shield.Would she do anything Adrian said if he asked her to?Thus, Adrian said, “I’m really sorry, Madam Violet, but i
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 96
The Cowells grunted and got up to leave.Before they left, Adrian warned, “Francis, watch your mouth. How dare you still scold others after getting beaten up?”Francis had opened wounds all over his mouth from being beaten up by Liam. However, it had not made him change his behavior of scolding others.***The Cowells stormed out of Samantha’s house.Francis was furious and said, “Grandmother, since Samantha is so ignorant, we should teach her a lesson.”It was clear as day that the Cowells were ignorant, yet they were utterly clueless of themselves.Violet could not vent her pent-up anger so she immediately shouted, “Go back to the company and dissolve Bailar right now! Return the company building too! Get rid of it!”Bailar did not have a functioning capital from the start. The company could not pay the employees’ wages so it could only be dissolved.“Okay, Grandmother.” The other Cowells quickly took action.By the evening, news had spread across the whole of Swallowston.

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.

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.

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
