Edgar's eyes widened in utter disbelief as he looked at Adrian. He couldn’t fathom how Adrian could be so powerful. Before he could fully grasp what was happening, the force of Adrian’s sword and fists were already crashing into his body. “H-How are you this strong?" Edgar stammered, finally realizing how ignorant he was. Confronted with Adrian’s swordsmanship, he felt all his skills were weak and insignificant. However, there was no answer for him. Boom!A wave of violent power erupted. Adrian didn’t relent in his assault. After all, Edgar had insisted on challenging him to a life-and-death duel. Therefore, Adrian saw no reason to hold back.The Soul Devouring Sword transformed into countless streaks of energy, each one piercing through Edgar’s body. "Aahhh!!" Edgar’s scream filled the air as he felt his strength rapidly slipping away. Desperately, he roared, “No! I won’t die like this!” However, there was nothing he could do other than wait for a merciless end. In his final

Adrian’s gaze sharpened as he replied, “Is that so? Just because we’re at the same level doesn’t mean we’re equals. Let’s keep moving. It seems you’ve had quite a turbulent journey.”Renee looked at Adrian with a helpless expression because his words were undeniably true. Her journey had indeed been full of endless obstacles, especially with the Crown Prince attempting to kill her. "Are we still heading to Ciawales?” Renee asked.Despite the dangers, Adrian still intended to go to Ciawales, leaving Renee puzzled. She even felt a bit hesitant and considered turning back. As she considered it, Adrian casually replied, “Why wouldn’t we? I said I’d get you back safely, and I’ll see it through. No one can stop us.” His tone was calm, filled with a kind of unwavering confidence.Renee looked at Adrian with a mix of shock and admiration, not understanding why he was so resolute. There were easier paths to take, yet he chose the difficult one. She couldn’t quite grasp Adrian’s determina

After dealing with Edgar, the pair left the area.Meanwhile, in a grand hall within Ciawales, a man sat high upon a throne. His gaze was sharp and piercing. Suddenly, a man dressed in black rushed in, his steps quick and filled with urgency. He seemed flustered and a bit overwhelmed. “Your Highness, I regret to report that the mission has failed,” he said, bowing. Hearing this, the man on the throne, the crown prince of Ciawales Justin Wagner, was filled with rage. “Both teams failed? How could this be? Does that girl have some extraordinary protector by her side?” Justin asked furiously, “Wasn’t it thoroughly investigated? The strongest among her entourage was only at the later Divine Stage. How could the mission fail? Even Edgar had failed too?"Trembling as he knelt, the man dared not raise his head. “Yes, Your Highness. We found Edgar's corpse alone in a desolate area." Justin’s expression darkened. He hadn’t expected Renee to have such a powerful ally. "Very well. Call

“What? The war legate is coming?” Everyone’s eyes grew wide upon hearing the news.“Wilfred, who is this war legate? Was he the one…” Leonard was in awe.There was only one person who held that title in all of Navia—the leader of the Blood Corps. There was no other like him.The entire city of Swallowston had to accommodate the man’s every move today.“Who else? Of course, it’s the Bellum Legate who had a ten thousand soldier-strong blockade today.”“Heavens, he’s coming to our home?”“Grandfather is so famous that even the legate is coming to see him?”The legate was well-known among the citizens, but few had ever seen him.“The gods are smiling upon our family.” Harold raised his hands. “Ever since Henry’s death, our family has been blessed with wave after wave of prosperity.

After saying that, Adrian left Xander Manor with his mother and sister.There was no reason for him to stay any longer.***Once they left, Cecelia said, “He thinks he’s so important after having been in the army for only seven years? He thinks he can tear down our family? What a joke.”Everyone burst out laughing.“Wilfred, can you find out when the legate will be arriving?” Harold put the matter aside and asked his son.“Yes, Father.” Wilfred nodded, then quickly called the person who had contacted him earlier.The Xanders started getting ready. The women put on makeup so they could present their best selves to the legate.After some time, Wildred turned to his father awkwardly. “Father, they said that he was here and just left.”“What?” Harold was worried.He came and left? Why?He turned to look at them and anxiously asked, “Did you see anyone come in?”“No one else other than Adrian.” Everyone shrugged.Harold took a deep breath. Did he miss his chance for a big break?

Was there some sort of misunderstanding?Adrian went up to the office.***CEO’s office, the Bailar Group.A beautiful woman sat in the office. She had long hair and a nice figure.

Adrian hung up and sat down to wait.After Devin heard what Adrian said, he chuckled. He knew that Daniel was a big shot in Swallowston and that he was the general who worked under the legate. That meant that if he stomped his feet, the city would shake.Devin thought that Adrian was just pretending to call Daniel. It was probably a fake number.“Hahaha! Henry was a genius. Too bad his son isn’t.” Devin continued to laugh.He knew very well what happened to the Xanders since he was a local of Swallowston.Devin said, “Sure, I’ll wait with you. I’d like to see if you can really bring Daniel Summers here.”He then sat down on the couch, lit another cigarette, and crossed his legs.Adrian ignored him and closed his eyes to rest.Within ten minutes, just as Devin was arrogantly enjoying his cigarette, the door of the office was kicked open again and Daniel, who was in uniform, walked in. Devin was shocked.Behind Daniel was the richest man in Swallowston, Damien Holland, owner of
