Mario laughed. “He really is enjoying his life. Not only is he a deadbeat, but he seems really proud of it too. Hah!“It’s a shame that Sam chose to marry such a loser despite her pretty looks.”Samantha remained speechless, not knowing what to say.Cassey then continued, “It’s decided then. Wait for my call, Sam. I’m expecting you to attend my wedding. No excuses!”The Mercedes Benz sped off, taking with it whatever good mood Samantha had earlier. She was so speechless that all she could think to say at that moment was, “What were you thinking, Adrian? It’s obvious she’s trying to humiliate me, so why would you agree to attend her wedding?”‘I know very well what Cassey and her friends are like,’ she added silently.“You have no idea what kind of criticisms they’re going to hurl at you if you don’t go. So, you have to come as well.”“And you think they won't if I do?”“Well, they’ll hurl it at your face if you do.”Samantha was confused. ‘What in the world is he thinking?’“

Adrian and Belle shortly arrived at the headquarters of Southrive’s Swallowston Jewelers.There, Belle brought out a necklace to show Adrian and said, “This necklace is called the Heart of the Sea. It’s made from Graff Pink diamond, also known to be the most precious gemstone in the world.“Its cut, color, and clarity make one feel like they’re looking at the ocean. Its heart-shaped design is how it got its name.“This necklace is the most precious piece of our collection. It was previously auctioned at Paolo Auctioneers with a starting price of twelve million dollars, but nobody was able to afford it.“After that, this necklace was crowned to be fit for a goddess and has been in numerous exhibitions both large and small. You could even say that it’s as popular as a celebrity, holding the love of countless people.”Adrian took a look at the necklace.‘She’s right, it does seem very outstanding. With how it’s able to exhibit a woman’s elegance, it’s specially made for women. I dou

Every woman dreamt of owning the Heart of the Sea.Samantha had already seen the news that morning and replied, “I know. There are many saying that it was the legate who bought it. I guess he’s the only one throughout Swallowston, Southrive even, worth selling the necklace to.“I also heard that Lucas asked Belle to sell it to him many times, but she rejected him time and time again.”At the mention of the legate and Lucas Jenner, Adaline was suddenly reminded of the events that took place the day before.She was silent for a moment before she said, “Sam, do you think Adrian is…”“What’s wrong with him?” Samantha shot Adaline a curious glance.But, with a sigh, Adaline decided not to finish her sentence.‘I can’t confirm that Adrian’s the legate yet, so it’ll only be hearsay if I tell her about it now.’Instead, she shook her head and smiled. “Nothing. What I meant to say was he’s been proving himself to be a pretty decent guy. So, when are you planning to forgive him?”“It’s

Samantha put on the Heart of the Sea, which was the only piece of jewelry she had received over the years.‘It doesn’t matter if it’s expensive or not. What matters is that Adrian’s the one who gave it to me.’The dining table remained silent for the rest of the morning.After that, Adrian and Samantha headed to Bailar together.The company was on the brink of extinction, which was why Samantha had been coming up with ways to bolster the company.As they arrived and Samantha sat down in her office, her assistant immediately walked in.The assistant’s name was Nina Williams. She had been working for Samantha since Bailar was founded and was in charge of its operations.Samantha had a bad feeling when she saw Nina walking in. In an exhausted tone, she said, “Go on. What is it?”Nina heaved a sigh and said, “The company’s been continuing to run at a loss, and many major banks are asking us to pay up on the loans. We have three days tops before they step in and take over the compan

Samantha knew that she was going to get hung up on, but she continued to contact other banks for the sake of her company.Alas, none of the banks were willing to give her another loan.‘The company will go belly up in a few days if I can’t find some money to pump into it.’Seeing how dejected she was, Adrian said, “Why don’t you relax and take a breather? Who knows? You might just be able to get through this.”Hearing this, Samantha shot Adrian a glance and said, “What do you know about running a company? Our cash flow is almost depleted. I won’t be able to pay my employees if I don’t get some money soon.”Samantha shook her head while Adrian smiled and replied, “I wouldn’t be too sure about that. Maybe a bank will come to you themselves with a loan offer.”Samantha instantly shot Adrian a glare. “You’re being too optimistic about this. As if any sane bank would do such a thing for me in this situation?”“Let’s just wait and see,” Adrian said.Samantha ignored Adrian and wrote
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 51
Adrian smiled upon hearing that. “In that case, let’s get prepared.”Samantha nodded. If Swallowston Bank took the liberty to call, it signified that Bailar’s funding issue could be easily solved.She felt rather excited. Without a moment’s hesitation, she quickly packed up and drove to Swallowston Bank’s headquarters with Adrian.***Half an hour later, Adrian and Samantha arrived at Swallowston Bank’s headquarters.As soon as they got out of the car, Samantha walked toward the bank in excitement. However, a voice rang out before she stepped into the building. “Isn’t that my cousin and his wife? What a coincidence, meeting you guys here.”Samantha was stunned.Adrian turned around to see who it was. He saw a young man dressed in a suit and a woman walking over to them from the bank’s entrance.Samantha furrowed her eyebrows at the sight of the young man. His name was Cedric Xander, and he was Adrian’s cousin. He was Harold’s grandson and Leonard’s son.“Let’s go, ignore him,”
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 52
Once Cedric finished speaking, Adrian’s arm shook as a burst of power radiated through it. Cedric was scared out of his wits and instantly backed away in shock.Cedric’s eyes widened in surprise. He felt a sense of threat for just a brief moment.However, he was a proud man. He instantly said in a fury, “Adrian, you have no appreciation for my kindness. In that case, I’m going to make a call to Swallowston Bank. You’re not stepping foot in there.”Adrian’s interest was piqued. He smiled and said, “Go ahead and try. I’d like to see if I’m capable of entering Swallowston Bank today.”Cedric furrowed his eyebrows. He came to the bank today to withdraw some money and did not expect to bump into Adrian.In truth, he had found out about Adrian’s return some time ago. He had not expected this deadbeat to disrespect him.“Very well. Just wait.” Cedric pointed at Adrian.As he spoke, Cedric began to dial a number on his phone.Samantha grew anxious when she saw Cedric making the call. S

“Samuel?” Cedric was instantly delighted at the sight of the young man.It was Samuel—the general manager of Swallowston Bank.Cedric quickly approached him and said, “Thank you for taking the trouble to do this, Samuel. These two are trying to get into the bank. I’ll leave the rest to you.”Cedric turned to look at Adrian and Samantha in contempt as he spoke.Samantha was panic-stricken and hastily stepped forward to explain, “Hello, Mr. Samuel. I have an appointment with Ms. Mandy.”Samuel looked at Samantha and said, “Ms. Mandy?”Then, he sniggered. “What nonsense are you talking about? There’s only one Ms. Mandy in Swallowston Bank and she’s the president. She’s one of the top twenty richest people in Swallowston. Why would the president have an appointment with you?”Samuel stared at Samantha with a malicious expression. “You don’t even know how to boast. Who do you think you are to get an appointment with the president?”Samantha was dumbfounded. The person who called her

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.

The Holy Son cast a cold glance at Andy.Adrian ignored them both, fixing his gaze on the staircase ahead.His focus remained unwavering. Now that one nuisance had been dealt with, he intended to press forward. If he'd been certain he could kill the Holy Son earlier, he wouldn't have hesitated.For Adrian, leaving loose ends was never an option. When he chose to kill, he made sure the deed was done.That was his nature—a man of decisive action. With calm resolve, he resumed his ascent, stepping deliberately and methodically up the heavenly stairs.From below, Andy watched and scoffed. "Haha, I knew Adrian wasn't ordinary. Seems like these so-called elites aren't that impressive after all."The Holy Son glared at Adrian, seething with killing intent.Adrian, however, remained unfazed, his attention fixed elsewhere.Suddenly, he sensed a mysterious force emanating from the clouds above the staircase. It seemed to be calling to him, though its nature was unclear.Meanwhile, Finni

The Holy Son had never endured such humiliation. In his world, he was always the oppressor—no one dared challenge him.His gaze fixed on Adrian, eyes dark and cold. If looks could kill, Adrian would have perished a thousand times.Before he could react, Adrian's fist crashed into his right shoulder with bone-shattering force.A sickening crack echoed through the air."Ahh!" A scream of agony tore from the Holy Son's throat.In moments, he was defeated.Below, Andy watched the scene unfold, stunned. He'd hoped Adrian would put the arrogant Holy Son in his place, but seeing it happen left him speechless."That's the Holy Son," he muttered in disbelief.Yet in Adrian's hands, he looked like worthless trash.Above, a faint smile tugged at Finnian's lips. "Haha! This kid is truly remarkable. He never stops surprising us."Suddenly, a figure shot down from the clouds—a middle-aged man from Sacred Lunaland. His face darkened as he took in the sight of the humiliated Holy Son sprawle

A cold, indifferent smile played on his lips. "Is that so? Do you really think you'll win with such petty tricks?"To Adrian, the Holy Son was a mere nuisance. Without his powerful connections, he wouldn't even warrant a passing glance.Had the Holy Son know

Terrifying forces descended from the void, crashing down on Adrian with devastating power.

In response to the Holy Son's mocking words, Adrian glanced at him.How ridiculous. Did the Holy Son truly think his derision would matter? Did he believe Adrian was incapable?"Is that so?" Adrian retorted coldly, then leaped forward, closing the gap and standing alongside the Holy Son with a single bound.The Holy Son sneered.Adrian attempting to stand shoulder to shoulder with him? Laughable!He felt the gravitational force on Adrian had reached an astonishing 40,000 units, while he was enduring only 30,000 units.If Adrian dared push forward, the force would rise to 60,000 units—a weight even a seasoned body expert would struggle to withstand.One move from the Holy Son, and Adrian would be crushed and thrown off the steps."Adrian, be careful! It's about to reach 60,000 units!" Andy's voice echoed, filled with concern. Adrian's boldness bordered on recklessness.A force of 60,000 units could suppress even the strongest physical experts.The crowd could hardly fathom any

As soon as Adrian finished speaking, he leaped forward, clearing three steps in a single bound.Below, Andy stood stunned. Adrian's audacity left him speechless.While others climbed step by step, Adrian defied convention, vaulting over multiple steps at once.Andy couldn't help but admire Adrian's remarkable physical resilience.Adrian's strength was beyond comprehension. Even under the relentless pull of gravity, he remained steady, pressing forward.Unbeknownst to Andy, Adrian's body was naturally fortified, absorbing the immense forces with little effect. His physical strength alone could withstand these relentless attacks.A surge of violent energy crashed into Adrian, sending waves of searing pain through his body. The excruciating sensation consumed him."Break!"Adrian gritted his teeth as the overwhelming pressure bore down on him. It felt as though tens of thousands of pounds were hammering his body.The pain was indescribable, yet his expression remained cold and de
