The shattering of the soul tablets signified that the individuals tied to them had met their ultimate demise. They had been obliterated with no way to come back.The middle-aged man’s face darkened as he muttered coldly, “Hmph, that celestial residence is destined to be mine.” He vanished from where he stood, disappearing without a trace. It was impossible to discern where he had gone, and the sight was utterly chilling.Meanwhile, Adrian retired to his room. The lodgings, though simple, appeared to have been regularly cleaned and maintained.'It's not too shabby,' he thought, sitting cross-legged and beginning to meditate. Any environment was the same as long as he could focus on his goals. Now more than ever, he knew he needed to remain diligent and meticulous. There was no room for carelessness or neglect.Ciawales was far from the fragile entity Adrian had initially imagined. He understood that if he wanted to control everything, he had to rise to the pinnacle of power. If he c
The attackers were no match for Adrian, and those who had come to assassinate him were now nowhere to be seen. This could only mean one thing: those who came to ambush and kill Adrian already went to hell.Renee couldn’t help but shiver. With Adrian, everything was far more terrifying and brutal than she had ever imagined. He was no saint. Anyone who tried to kill him would inevitably face a horrific outcome. After all, his strength spoke for itself.Adrian was like a god of death. Anyone who tried to approach him would have to pay a terrifying price. Adrian knew some things were far more complex than they appeared on the surface, and he made sure that everyone around him understood this reality.Boom!A terrifying vibration suddenly rang out across Ciawales City. Everyone was startled, and Renee was shocked as well. What was going on?"What’s happening? This is the capital city. Who dares to cause trouble?" Renee wondered, her face filled with astonishment.Whoosh, whoosh, whoos
Adrian's eyes narrowed. The power of Ciawales' ancestor was something he couldn't see through. There was a faint aura around the ancestor that suggested he had surpassed the Fusion Stage. Adrian speculated that the ancestor might even have reached the Void Stage or even the terrifying Multiply Stage.‘Ciawales is truly not as simple as it seems,’ Adrian thought in surprise. When he first approached this area, he clearly felt that the surroundings were not ordinary. It seemed that this place was filled with hidden talents."Hahaha! Floyd Wagner you old fool, you’re still alive. Looks like you’ve broken through the Fusion Stage." Barry, the expert from Primeria, sneered."The Ancestor is here. This guy is as good as dead!" Renee’s eyes blazed with fury.Being provoked and having the confrontation brought to your doorstep was enough to make anyone seethe with anger, and Renee was naturally indignant too.Adrian’s expression turned grim. "Such arrogance… This probably isn’t as simple
The clash seemed to last only for a few exchanges, lasting only a few seconds. But to Adrian, it felt as though the two had fought thousands of rounds. Yet, no clear winner had emerged, and the violent energy continued to explode outward.Bam, bam, bam!"I didn’t expect you to make a breakthrough, old geezer," came a much older voice from Barry’s mouth which was not his.This statement immediately shocked everyone. "Has Primeria’s ancestor made a breakthrough? Is that why he dares to provoke our kingdom?" someone suddenly exclaimed.The speculation was clear, and everyone froze in place. Nobody had expected the situation to be like this. If that were the case, it would truly signal a massive storm between the two great nations. After all, Primeria had surrendered in the past, and it was said that the main reason for their capitulation was that their ancestor’s strength had fallen behind.It was rumored that Primeria’s ancestor had been stuck at a bottleneck, which had led them to
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,
