However, it was nothing but a scratch for Adrian. "Is one punch enough? The entire Obscura, including Leafall, have deep enmity with me," Adrian said.Sherri's tears flowed down. She still liked Adrian, and this contradiction left her deeply conflicted. Unfortunately, she could not change the fact that she was a resident of Obscura.This punch was just a means of venting, and Adrian's words shattered her last bit of fantasy. They indeed had deep enmity with Adrian. This was something no one could change, not even Adrian himself."Why? Aren't you the heartless great devil of Silverboa who kills without blinking? Why didn't you kill me?" Sherri snarled.Adrian chuckled. "Why would I kill you? While there are instances when I resorted to killing, I'm not indiscriminate in my actions. In this world, some people deserve to die, and some have to be killed. But you, my friend, aren't one of them. So I'm not going to kill you."Anyway, I'm leaving. Live well in the future. With my influ
Several days later, Quintin ended his rest in Leafall and began to move again with Silverboa's forces. Alongside the fleet that had previously accompanied Quintin, a substantial number of troops from the rear, now arriving to reinforce him, were disembarking in Obscura City via the port at Leafall.In truth, Quintin had awaited these reinforcements from the rear precisely to consolidate his strength for a decisive strike. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lingered in Leafall for so long.As for the main force of Obscura City's troops, they were heading toward Sandstone City under Sid's leadership.Sid was someone highly knowledgeable in strategy. From Quintin's actions, he discerned Quintin's urgency from his actions. From the moment Adrian and a small party captured Leafall, it was evident that Silverboa aimed for a swift conquest of Obscura.Having grasped his opponent's intentions, Sid recalibrated his strategy. Initially hopeful of reclaiming Leafall given the opportunity, he now rec
However, now was not the right time. All these border troops were under Quintin's command, and the latter valued this war even more than Adrian did. After all, this was Quintin's last war in his lifetime.Adrian was somewhat out of the place as he walked among the troops that were getting ready to set off. Everyone else was either dressed in training uniforms or in full uniforms, while Adrian was the only one who dressed in an ordinary shirt and moved among them like an ordinary person.In times like these, many were vigilant. A person like Adrian walking through the military camp naturally attracted attention."Kid! Where are you from?" Someone stopped Adrian. Adrian did not really mind getting stopped since he knew it was their routine check. However, he still felt a bit troubled because his team members and him did not have a definite identity among the frontier force."I'm here to see someone," Adrian replied, but the answer clearly didn't satisfy the person blocking his way.
"Tell me who you are!" he shouted again before the soldiers around him could act.Adrian shook his head. "Your rank is too low, so you're not qualified to discipline me. Find someone who can talk to Chester to come see me!"The man's expression soured at Adrian's words. Despite being an eighth-level expert, merely holding the position of team leader couldn't fully utilize his skills.However, his deficiency in military strategy consistently hindered him from gaining recognition from superiors, a longstanding source of frustration. Adrian's direct mention of this sore point only fueled his resentment further."Get him tied up!" he shouted, and the group of people rushed toward Adrian.In the next second, Adrian unleashed his energy. Several tents around him were overturned, and the man was forced down onto his knees."Do you have anything else to say?" Adrian asked indifferently.The man was stunned. He did not expect Adrian to be a Grandmaster. As a fighter, becoming a Grandmast
"What are you going to do?" Adnan asked.The man on the ground opened his mouth but remained silent. He did not know how to resolve the situation and could only accept whatever punishment Adrian decided to give himDespite being a military man with his own pride, the thought of being reprimanded by someone as young as Adrian was the last thing he desired. Nevertheless, he found himself in a situation where there was nothing he could do but sigh at his misfortune for encountering Adrian."Young man, regardless of your background, I advise you to let him go. My men are to be disciplined by me alone. You'd better back off!" Adnan said.Adrian had not intended to do anything to the man in the first place, but he was curious to see what Adnan was capable of after what he said."Oh? Your men are to be disciplined by you alone? But he offended me, and I intend to teach him a lesson. What can you do about it?" Adrian replied.Adnan narrowed his eyes, and Adrian could see a dangerous glin
Adnan and the others vividly recalled the shock that coursed through them upon hearing the news. At the time, they were stationed on various islands in the Rampaging Sea, awaiting orders. Such strategic decisions at the national war level were beyond their anticipation.Initially, they speculated that Quintin would invade Obscura City's mainland and occupy the first city before they would be called into action. They all estimated Quintin would need at least another week to achieve this.However, one day, they received a sudden message instructing them to abandon their posts and head to Obscura City. They remained clueless until their superior provided an explanation.They learned that a small squad had already penetrated the mainland and captured Leafall, altering the course of the war dramatically.Quintin was expected to be the unchallenged leader of the conflict, but the arrival of a mysterious figure disrupted that assumption. Despite the successive reinforcements during this p
"Hmph! This is indeed your fault! He's the hero of Silverboa City, yet you haven't even given him a formal identity. I wonder how you managed to become the Grand Commander!"Adnan ensured that Adrian had already left. To prevent Chester from taking advantage of the situation, he first directed his criticism toward Chester.Chester scowled. The attitude he displayed in front of Adrian was out of respect for him. But Adnan… It was evident that their relationship during their school days had not been good, and they might have even been rivals!"Hmph! No matter what you say, you are under my command. Remember to show some respect to your superiors in the future. Let's just let it go this time!" After saying that, Chester left with his hands behind his back.Adnan watched Chester departing, gritting his teeth in frustration. He wasn't incapable of defeating Chester. At the very least, he could hold his own against him. If he risked his life, he might have had the opportunity to kill Che
Adorning the back was an unidentified flower."Each member of your elite forces has one. From now on, you are the captain of the elite forces," Chester said with a hint of jealousy.Originally, it was planned for Adrian to become the captain of the elite forces. No one had anticipated that the elite forces would grow to this extent in just a few months.Their initial plan was to establish a specialized task force to accompany Chester and gain experience over three to five years. During this process, some members would inevitably be eliminated. Those who survived would be the best seeds.However, Adrian's appearance changed their plans. The elite forces had matured too quickly, possessing unparalleled combat power. With Adrian as their captain, their potential impact would undoubtedly be even greater!Although Chester felt a bit bitter about losing the position of captain of the elite forces, he knew that Adrian was indeed more suitable for the role. After all, the members of the e
