The Return of the War Legate Chapter 10
Not long after they arrived home, there was a knock at the door.Rue went to get it and when she saw who it was, she frowned. “Clara, Simon, why are you here?”The woman was Clara Cowell, Samantha’s cousin.Clara had always been her grandmother’s favorite, but she could not stand how Samantha was doing better than her so she would always try to one-up Samantha.She came up with all sorts of schemes. Once, she even tried to make Samantha marry a disabled man.The worse Samantha’s life was, the happier Clara would be.The man standing beside Clara was her fiance, Simon Black, the eldest of the Black family children.Rue did not want to see them, so she quickly closed the door to stop them from coming in. However, Clara was able to push her way in and frowned. “Why are you so anxious, Rue? I’m here to see Samantha.”Rue was pushed aside.Clara and Simon walked in and looked around.“What business do you have with Sam?” Adrian, who was sitting on the couch, asked when he saw them

A young man drove out of a mansion somewhere in Swllowston after answering Simon’s call.That young man was George Livingston, son of one of the richest men in Swallowston, and had a close relationship with Donald Kushner, the richest man in the city.After Simon got acquainted with George, the Cowells wanted to be associated with George, so they proposed a partnership between their companies. Clara added fuel to the fire and suggested that Samantha would sleep with him.At that moment, George’s luxury car drove into the streets of Swallowston toward Adrian’s place. However, there were sudden bursts of engine noise from all directions.The next moment, military SUVs popped out of nowhere and blocked his car from all sides.“Wh-What’s this?”George’s eyes opened wide when he saw the sudden fleet of cars. Before he could react, his car was surrounded by more than a dozen cars.The cars stopped, and Daniel got out of one of them.George shuddered and said, “General Summers, what b

Night time.When the family was having dinner, Adrian’s phone rang. It was Daniel on the line.“I need to take this.” Adrian got up and went to the garden.Once he picked up, Daniel said, “Sir, the Cowells sent you an invitation for a gathering at their home. I haven’t replied. Will you be attending?”“I don’t have time for that. Reject the invite.” Adrian hung up and went back inside.Samantha said to Adrian, “Go to my family home and meet my grandmother tomorrow. She’s my family.”“All right.” He nodded.“Don’t forget to bring her some gifts. I have some money here.” Rue quickly took out her purse and handed him a hundred dollars.He looked at the money and was touched. It was apparent she had been keeping this money for a while now because it was all crumpled up.Something came to mind and Adrian said, “Mother, how much money do you need for Ada’s tuition? Which university did she get into?”Adaline looked up and started paying attention.Rue said, “Swallowston University

Meanwhile, at the Cowells’.The Cowells used to be an affluent family in Swallowston. But after John passed away, Violet took over the family affairs and caused the family to go from an upstanding family to a low-class one.Violet Barker was an arrogant, self-centered woman who loved to look down on people. Clara and Francis were her favorite grandchildren, but she loathed Samantha.There was a family meeting underway at the Cowell’s. Violet was hosting in the living room.Samantha’s eldest uncle, Nathan Cowell, her second uncle, Hugo Cowell, Hugo’s son, Francis Cowell, and many other family members were in attendance.Clara was there with a swollen face. The reason for the meeting was to discuss Swallow Central.Violet said, “I just got word that Swallow Central will start letting companies bid for a spot in a week. The legate will be there to chair the investment conference. They’ve already sent out invitations. Do any of you have any idea how to get an invite for the family?”

“Wow, your family’s famous!”“You’re so different from that piece of trash.”“Yes, you’re so much better than him.”Everyone started licking Simon’s boots after he said that and compared him to Adrian.When Simon heard this, he became even smugger and smirked at Adrian.Simon said, “The legate will personally be there, so everyone in the upper-class circle is paying a lot of attention to the conference. I heard that Battle Warrior Lucas will be escorting him. Not everyone has the opportunity to get an invitation.”All the Cowells took a sharp intake of breath. The legate and the Battle Warriors were extremely important figures. Getting an invitation would be the biggest achievement for the Cowells.Nathan said, “Simon, do you think your family can get an invitation for our family too?”Everyone agreed upon hearing this.Hugo said, “Yes, Simon. You’re my brother’s son-in-law, and your family is prominent in Swallowston. If your father asked for it, we could probably get an invi

Had Adrian’s call really made the war legate send an invitation to the Cowells?“Thanks to the legate. Thank you, General Summers.”Violet gazed at the invitation. Her tears started falling as she put out her hand to accept it.Daniel nodded and said, “Everyone here is invited. We’ll reserve seats for you. Have a good day.”“Please see General Summers off,” Violet said.Hugo and Nathan escorted Daniel out.Everyone’s eyes were glued to the invitation as if they were in a collective dream.“Grandmother, this is a genuine invitation!” Francis excitedly said.“It is. The legate actually gave us an invitation!”“The gods are smiling on us. We’re on the road to becoming one of the richest families in Swallowston!” Violet looked up and gave her thanks to the Heavens.Samantha looked at Adrian in shock. Had this invitation really come because of his call?However, Simon suddenly said, “Congratulations, Grandmother. Truth be told, before coming over, my father contacted the legate t

That night, Samantha went home straight after finishing work at Bailar.As usual, dinner was ready at home.“Mother, is Adrian back?” Samantha asked once she got home.After leaving the Cowells’, she went to sit in her office and pondered for a long time. She knew that she had gone overboard by leaving Adrian on the streets. He was, after all, her husband.Adrian had said all that to protect her, so when she did not see him home, she grew curious. She was afraid that he would leave again.Rue replied, “He’s making dinner in the kitchen. He made everything here.”Adrian walked out of the kitchen as Rue was saying that.Upon seeing him, Samantha sighed in relief, but she was disappointed because all her husband knew was to cook.“Go wash your hands. It’s time for dinner,” he said to her, but she gave no reply.Everyone sat down and started having dinner, but Adaline suddenly said, “Sam, I heard that Swallow Central is almost ready to be opened to the public and that the legate w

Everyone looked toward Adrian.There was a three-second pause followed by an explosion of laughter.“Haha! Adrian, you trash! You’re such a funny man!” Francis held his stomach as he pointed at Adrian with tears of laughter rolling down his cheeks.All the Cowells laughed uproariously.Simon chastised Adrian, “You said that you were going to get an invitation for the Cowells, but I was the one who ended up getting it. You just love to lie!”Clara added, “You’re so funny. You, the piece of trash, can get Samantha into the investment conference? What a joke!”Adaline closed her eyes because she was speechless. Adrian making an outrageous lie like that would just make everyone laugh at him.Samantha was disappointed again. She felt terrible for leaving Adrian on the streets earlier, but it seemed that he had not learned his lesson.‘Go on. Laugh. I’ll enjoy the look on your faces on that day,’ Adrian thought.The laughter finally stopped, then the Cowells looked at him.Simon sa

To Andy, the challenge of the staircase had become overwhelming.At that moment, he felt as if the oppressive void had drained his will to continue climbing, leaving him on the verge of giving up.Adrian noticed and was slightly surprised. It was clear that this staircase was no ordinary trial—each step forward brought increasingly deadly dangers.Adrian's face darkened with resolve, his killing intent flaring. "Really? So, this staircase is as extraordinary as it seems. In that case, let me test it thoroughly."With that, Adrian charged forward, his speed astonishing, and his movements radiating such killing intent that he seemed to materialize as a daemon god."Hahaha, laughable. Does an ant think it can climb these steps? Can you even handle the next five? An intermediary Void Stage expert who just broke through? What a joke," mocked the Holy Son.Adrian narrowed his eyes, his gaze cold, but he answered with a smirk. "Oh? The Holy Son? To me, you're just a pile of trash."Wit

This scene starkly reminded Adrian that he had merely cleared the first stage. The staircase before him marked the second stage.The realization stunned everyone—just when they thought it was over, another hundred steps awaited them."Andy, what's going on?" Adrian asked, confused.Andy had entered this stage much earlier, yet he was only at the 10th step.The Holy Son stood on the 15th step, his body seemingly bound and restricted, a far cry from the confident display he had shown in the first stage.Finnian, showing more resilience, had reached the 30th step.Adrian was puzzled by the sight and struggled to understand what was happening.Andy, looking helpless, explained, "Ah, Adrian, I imagine you're wondering why I'm still stuck on the staircase. The old entity within me has been completely suppressed."On this staircase, all external aid—be it seals, spiritual power, or anything else—is forcibly neutralized. No exceptions. Also, everyone is restricted to the Void Stage, wi

The crowd was puzzled, sensing that Adrian's situation had taken a strange turn for the worse.The final few steps seemed disproportionately difficult, as if they were worlds apart from the earlier ones. From a distance, the scene appeared completely different.The sky and earth trembled, and the sight before them was terrifying."I said… get lost!" Adrian's eyes burned with icy resolve. "Die!"With a furious roar, Adrian threw a punch that tore through the air, its power so immense it seemed capable of shattering everything.The punch carried earth-shattering force, almost ripping the void apart.What was happening? Adrian was directly confronting the obstacles before him.Below, Tyler and his companions exchanged worried glances, their faces tense as they watched Adrian's struggle.The situation above was rapidly spiraling into chaos.The sound of space fracturing echoed, as though the very fabric of the void was being torn apart.The crowd was speechless, unable to describ

The crowd, witnessing the scene, didn't know how to respond.The man's words sounded reasonable, but his glance toward the Sacred Lunaland's people revealed his true intentions—he was clearly trying to win their favor.The Sacred Lunaland members glared at Adrian with sharp, mocking eyes. To them, his defiance was tantamount to courting death.Meanwhile, Tyler and his group were filled with worry.The thunderbolts raining down from above seemed capable of obliterating everything, creating an overwhelming atmosphere of dread.At that moment, Adrian appeared on the brink of destruction.The scene was harrowing, and his situation seemed hopeless as he endured unbearable agony within the void.A surge of power exploded.

"Exactly! The Holy Son has his seals—what does he have?"A chorus of ridicule erupted from the crowd.In the Spirit Domain, especially on the Central Continent, elders often placed protective seals on their descendants. These seals carried a portion of the elder's strength or will, designed to activate in life-threatening situations and provide a way out.To the onlookers, Adrian was just a lone soldier—an insignificant figure with no support or protection. Their disdain for him was clear, mocking his lack of status and backup."How can someone like him, with no power or influence, even think of standing shoulder to shoulder with us? What a joke!"Adrian, however, ignored the scorn. His sharp gaze stayed fixed on the path ahead, his body radiating an intense and unyielding battle spirit.In his mind, there was no option but to charge forward. No matter the cost or the outcome, he was determined to succeed.The sky tore apart under surging waves of unimaginable power.Adrian's a

Yet the moment Adrian stepped forward, everything changed.What was Adrian doing?Confusion spread through the crowd. The staircases's unpredictable nature defied reason, its disturbances growing more intense, leaving onlookers in disbelief.Boundless power surged through the void, rippling outward in a breathtaking display. The sheer magnitude of the scene silenced the crowd, awe etched into every face.Above, the clouds churned violently as Adrian endured the baptism of thunder.Waves of immense power flowed through his body, absorbed repeatedly as if the lightning it

A surge of immense power shattered the firmament as Adrian let out a cold chuckle.With a faint smile, he taunted, "Come on, show me how powerful this thunder really is"His words plunged the crowd into stunned silence. No one could fathom what he was thinking.Adrian's audacity bordered on absurdity. While others scrambled to erect defenses against the divine thunder, he faced it with scorn, bewildering the crowd.Unrelenting forces gathered, surging toward Adrian like an unstoppable tide, intent on obliterating him. The sheer intensity was terrifying beyond measure.To the onlookers, Adrian's defiance seemed unbearably arrogant. They could only watch as he stood firm against the void's power.Up close, the void's energy appeared strong enough to annihilate everything—a cataclysmic force that struck terror into their hearts.Yet Adrian's eyes sparkled with exhilaration.

His body pulsed with boundless energy, radiating overwhelming, terrifying power.Thunderbolts crashed down relentlessly, obliterating everything in their path.The crowd below stood paralyzed, frozen in fear and shock, unable to grasp the unfolding chaos.Adrian lunged forward with breathtaking momentum, reaching the 90th step in a single bound. The strain caused his bones to crack audibly, echoing through the storm-laden sky."Sir Adrian! It’s too dangerous!"Alarmed cries erupted as lightning bolts gathered menacingly above Adrian, ready to strike with lethal precision.But Adrian only chuckled, his expression serene. "Hahaha! Forward!"With those words, he dashed and tore through the void with astonishing speed, shattering obstacles in his path. His energy surged—a force both terrifying and awe-inspiring.The sky trembled under the rippling power radiating fro

Adrian's bones fractured instantly.His eyes widened in shock—the lightning's power far surpassed his expectations, catching him off guard.A cold glint sharpened his gaze as he growled, "Hmph! Damn it. Die!"Golden light burst from Adrian's body, forming a protective barrier that steadied his steps as he advanced.Each step resonated like the pounding of a giant heart, an awe-inspiring spectacle. His chilling killing intent radiated a force so immense it seemed to subdue the very world around him.Below, Tyler and the others stared in stunned silence.Uncertainty clouded their faces—could Adrian truly reach the summit?The destructive power looming in the void above was enough to unsettle even the strongest.Adrian's battered form strained under the overwhelming forces. Bones visibly fractured glowed fiery red from the intense pressure, making the extent of his injuries brutally clear.Yet with each step, his immense strength reignited.
