Renee tensed up as she heard Adrian speak. To simply demand that the serpent let them pass was nothing but asking for trouble, After all, this giant serpent was terrifying. Perhaps if they spoke more carefully, things would remain peaceful. Unfortunately, Adrian’s arrogance seemed to border on provocation, and no one could sway him once he had made a decision.“If you’re so eager to die, I’ll gladly send you to the afterlife,” Adrian said.He was determined to teach this creature a lesson. This serpent appeared to be a relic of ancient times, and he noticed its gleaming core. If he could claim it, his strength might surge to an entirely new level. This thought made Adrian’s eyes glint with determination. The power contained within the serpent’s body could be the key to pushing him beyond the Fusion Stage.With this realization, Adrian’s resolve strengthened. But the serpent noticed the greed in his gaze, and its fury erupted. “You wretched human! I’ll make you pay with your life!”
Renee desperately hoped for Adrian’s victory. Only through his triumph could she escape this perilous situation. If he were to fail, her fate would undoubtedly be sealed. The clash of Adrian and the serpent's energies created waves of tremors that caused Renee to stare in astonishment. She hadn’t anticipated such a cataclysmic confrontation.Suddenly, the serpent lunged forward, colliding with Adrian in a brutal clash. The ground trembled violently, and the mountain was seemingly on the brink of collapse.To everyone’s shock, Adrian managed to grab hold of the serpent’s tail amidst its wild thrashing. "What?" Renee was stunned, utterly unable to comprehend what was unfolding.Adrian held onto the serpent’s tail and swung it around as though it weighed nothing. Boom!The earth trembled as the enormous serpent was hurled into a nearby mountain with devastating force. "How is he doing this? How can his physical strength be so terrifying?" Renee muttered.It was commonly under
Adrian shot forward like a raging storm, his arm extended in a punch, tearing through the air with an intensity that caused the surroundings to tremble violently. The sheer force radiating from his strike was terrifying as if the entire world quaked in its wake. Shaken by this overwhelming display of power, the serpent thrashed with all its might. It was consumed by a singular thought, and that was to annihilate Adrian. After all, Adrian had provoked it repeatedly, and it was something that the serpent had never encountered before. It vowed to destroy him at any cost.The serpent’s massive tail clashed relentlessly against Adrian’s powerful fists. Neither side showed any intention of relenting. Both were driven by an unwavering determination to crush the other. Boom! Boom! Boom!The entire area trembled as the clash reached a fever pitch. Renee watched from the sidelines, her heart filled with hope that Adrian would emerge victorious. In Death Valley, survival was reserved for th
The serpent grew even more furious. Rage surged through it as it shouted, "You insolent fool! I’ll make you pay with your life!"With a thunderous roar, the serpent charged forward, lashing out like a weapon aimed straight at Adrian.Adrian met the attack with icy resolve. "Not bad," he remarked coldly, "but it seems you’re still underestimating me." Without hesitation, Adrian countered with a devastating punch. Caught off guard by this overwhelming power, the serpent felt a flicker of fear. It couldn’t comprehend how a mere human could possess such monstrous strength. Adrian’s physical prowess was beyond anything it had encountered, leaving the serpent questioning how this was even possible. Realizing the extent of Adrian’s power, the serpent’s initial desire to fight began to waver. It wanted Adrian to flee. After all, in its many years of existence, it had only encountered one or two beings as terrifying as this human.But Adrian showed no intention of retreating. To him, the
Swallowston, the biggest city in Navia.Something astounding happened.A private cruise ship appeared on the horizon of the Swallowston Sea. Hundreds of fighter jets escorted the ship from the air while an aircraft carrier sailed behind it. Cars pulled over and onlookers were stopped behind a yellow line. All to open up a path for a legend.The person was rumored to be a bigshot, the protector of Swallowston, bearing the title of “War Legate.”“Welcome back, War Legate!” a roar came from the pier where ten thousand soldiers were lined up, looking in high spirits.A young man disembarked from the ship. He looked majestic with his head held high. He had an air of confidence that could change the mood of wherever he went and seemed unbeatable.The man was a legend in the military and a hero of the country. He was given the title of “War Legate” and was only second to one other person. He founded the Blood Corps which was sharp as a sword and was undefeatable. This man was a legend
“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. Even the legate is coming to celebrate my birthday!”Everyone present was excited. What had they done to deserve attention from the legate?The Xanders were overjoyed.***“Father, the legate is almos
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?
The two men said that Samantha and someone named Mr. Devin were spending time alone in her office. But from what Rue said, Samantha was a loyal woman.Why would a woman like that do what she was doing? 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. She was elegant and had a pair of long, slender legs that were crossed under the desk.That was Samantha Cowell.Her company had been kicked out of the Alyanz Chamber of Commerce because of sabotage from competitors, and she was accused of wrongdoing. To avoid going to jail, she was forced to give her company away.That night was her last night at the office. Years of hard work were going to disappear, so she was feeling upset.“Samantha, have you signed the agreement?”The door of her office opened and a middle-aged man walked in. He smiled and asked her after walking in.The man was Devin Williams,
