The Return of the War Legate Chapter 97
Every word Adrian spoke reignited Samantha’s lost hope.It was fine that she had lost Bailar because she could just set up a new company.Adrian’s voice reverberated in Samantha’s ears for a long time.Samantha was caught in a daze.He patted her on the shoulder and said, “Sam, take some time to think it over. I’ll support you regardless of your choice.”Adrian did not elaborate any further.Samantha sat on the sofa and pondered over Adrian’s statement.***On that same night, Samantha could not sleep. She tossed and turned in bed but she could not fall asleep.She pondered over many things, especially what Adrian had said. One could say that he had pointed a way out for her.Samantha lay on the bed and thought for a long time before she made up her mind.She decided that she would set up a new company.When the decision solidified in her mind, she immediately got out of bed and started penning down her plans. Just as Adrian claimed, there was a high possibility for her to

“Frankly, my presence won’t affect you because you’ll be the most important person there,” Adrian explained to Samantha.Samantha was still rather concerned despite Adrian’s attempt to convince her.She was about to speak when Adrian interjected, “Don’t be too worried over whether Mandy will be willing to invest or not. You still have to try. If you never try, how will you know if you can or cannot do it?”Samantha inhaled deeply as she listened to Adrian’s words and observed his determined expression.Adrian was right about this being her own matter to handle.Samantha appeared to have gained a tinge of confidence and said, “All right, understood. I shall go on my own. Where are you going today anyway?”Adrian said, “I’m going to meet a friend. I’ll be back soon. I look forward to hearing good news, Sam.”Adrian tried to cheer Samantha up.She pursed her lips and smiled. She nodded profusely and said, “I’m going to succeed, Adrian. Bye now.”Adrian nodded while Samantha walke

Meanwhile in Swallowston, at the Paraiso Group.Seven years ago, Paraiso was the biggest enterprise and ranked first all throughout Swallowston. It was on par with the Cowell Group at the time and both companies were extremely influential.But after Henry’s passing, Harold forcefully took control of Paraiso. Ever since then, the company had suffered a disastrous decline.The company went from being the first-ranked company in Swallowston to a small, unpopular company.Meanwhile, at Paraiso, in the general manager’s office, Cedric, who had on a suit, was going through the accounts while another young man sat next to him.The young man was named Jacob and he was Wilfred’s son.Cedric and Jacob were cousins and they were the highest management personnel of Paraiso at the current moment.Harold held seventy percent of Paraiso’s shares while the other thirty percent was equally divided between his two sons and two grandchildren. Cedric and Jacob were given the posts of general manage

The truth was, Cedric had no idea where this large sum of money would come from.He was a deadbeat and was clueless about running a company. Yet, Harold regarded him as one of his best grandsons. Harold thought very highly of him.Riley was furious beyond comparison upon hearing Cedric’s remark.‘Receive a large sum of money?’Riley said, “Cedric, you don’t even go out to secure business deals and spend all day flirting with women and drinking here. Everyone in the company knows that.“Didn’t you sleep with a married employee once? The woman’s husband came seeking justice from the company.“You’re going to inflict great damage sooner or later if you keep doing this.”Riley appeared worried.Cedric raised his head and burst out laughing. “You think too much, Riley. I’ve never yielded to anyone in Swallowston. No one in the city dares to claim that they’re more capable than me.“I believe that I deserve to enjoy the process before I succeed in my career.”Cedric leaned back int

Upon saying that, Adrian looked around the place once again.The place evoked past memories for him. When he was younger, he would frequently visit Paraiso with Henry and played in the office while Henry worked.At the time, the employees of the company addressed him as Mr. Adrian. He thought about how everything was so wonderful when Henry was still alive.Yet, one could not always get what one wanted. Henry had already been gone for seven years without Adrian’s notice.He got down on one knee and grabbed a handful of earth from the ground. It felt as if every plant and every bit of earth was telling him “I hope you’re well” after not coming here for seven years.“It’s been seven years,” Adrian murmured to himself.Time seemed to have passed quickly yet slowly. Rue and Adaline had been living difficult lives, and so had he.Meanwhile, Adrian suddenly looked to the ground level of the building. A woman was standing there and watching him quietly from afar.He recognized the wom

Adrian turned around and his gaze landed on Cedric. “Your mouth is as foul as ever. Trust me when I say that I can beat your mouth into a pulp!”“Hah-hah-hah!” Cedric raised his head and burst out laughing.Paraiso was his territory. Why should he be afraid of a deadbeat when he was on home ground?Cedric chuckled and said, “F*ck you. You really are bold to speak to me in that manner in my company. Trust me when I say that I can make you incapable of walking out of here.“Adrian, do you still think that Paraiso belongs to your father? Hahaha! I’ll let you know that Paraiso isn’t affiliated with you in any way.”“Are you trying to get yourself killed by coming here?” said Jacob as he sneered.“Cut the crap. Let’s break his legs first before anything else,” scolded Cedric.Upon saying that, Cedric pulled out his phone and made a call, “Hello, security. Gather all the guards and send them to the ground level of the building at once. Remember to get everyone to come with a baton.“
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 103
Several of the company’s employees were alerted by the MPVs driving into the building.Soon after, the cars stopped and a large group of people swiftly got out of the cars. There were a total of more than a hundred people.These people worked for the Dean family.They surrounded the security guards of Cedric’s company upon their arrival.At this very moment, Cedric was stunned.Jacob’s jaw dropped and he appeared to be caught in a daze.It was apparent that they were startled by the group of people who suddenly showed up.“Wh-What the heck is going on?” Cedric was stunned.Meanwhile, his arrogant, wildly conceited mannerism vanished and in its place was astoundment.Cedric began to panic. He had not expected so many people would suddenly show up. And he was not the only panic-stricken one.The company security guards dropped their batons in succession. They behaved as if they were not part of the situation.Noticing that the guards began to back away, Cedric panicked.“A-Ad

Mya nodded upon hearing this. She waved her hand and said, “Take them and send them to the Xanders's home.”“Yes, ma’am!”Mya’s subordinates dragged them into the car.After handling Cedric and Jacob, Adrian left Paraiso.***Meanwhile, Harold, Leonard, Wilfred, and the other Xanders were having a meeting at home.Riley was present as well. The main content of the meeting was regarding her decision to resign from the family business. Harold was furious regarding this matter.Harold said, “Riley, you’re a woman of our family so it’s only right for you to work for the family business. Yet, you’re telling me that you wish to resign?“The Xanders have raised you for so many years. Are our efforts for nothing?”Harold had always practiced patriarchy, and his favorite grandsons were Cedric and Jacob. He treated Riley the same as Adaline and refused to regard her as his grandsons’ equal.Meanwhile, Leonard said, “Riley, your grandfather is right. You’re a Xander. Where else will you

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.

All that remained was the final spark.Adrian sneered as he faced the two approaching beasts. His cold voice echoed.

Suspended in the void, Adrian watched as three ferocious beasts charged toward him.It seemed they had received a command, their eyes burning with murderous intent. Determined to kill him on the spot, they closed in.Adrian couldn't help but wonder what he had gotten himself into.Why had he insisted on climbing this celestial ladder?

There was no way he could fight them.But regret was futile now. He was already inside.Adrian had no choice but to face the inevitable. His only option was to fight for survival, even if that meant death in this strange space."Hmph! You want me dead? It won't be that easy," Adrian remarked coldly.

What had initially appeared to be a dense swarm of beasts now seemed far less daunting.Adrian smiled slightly, satisfied.

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

As soon as Adrian spoke, he made his move. The terrifying beast at the peak of the Void Stage posed a serious challenge.Adrian, currently an intermediate Void Stage warrion, faced a formidable opponent in the beast's immense size and power.Without any command from Adrian, the Soul Devouring Sword charged into the swarm of beasts, cutting down everything in its path with ruthless ferocity.Each time Adrian killed a beast, the sword rapidly consumed its blood and soul energy.In the blink of an eye, Adrian and his sword wreaked havoc across the battlefield, showing no signs of slowing down.Despite the bloodthirsty beasts surrounding him, Adrian remained calm.His fierce struggle only intensified their madness, and they relentlessly tried to kill him.
