Semua Bab The Return of the War Legate: Bab 2861 - Bab 2870

The ship was a considerable distance away—at least fifteen kilometers. Even with Adrian's speed, it would take all his effort to catch up to it. But since he had already glimpsed a chance to escape, he naturally wouldn't let it slip by.After leaving the plank, Adrian leaped across the water. He occasionally used his energy to skim the surface, causing waves to ripple outward as he made his way toward the ship."I will find a way to kill you if you continue to harass me," Adrian said coldly when he felt the sensation of being followed increasing.Autumn wasn't planning on letting him go.Adrian frowned. The surroundings were serene with stars, moons, and boundless seawater. But because of the entity's presence, everything seemed extremely sinister. "You’ve been wanting to kill me for a long time, haven’t you? But I know about you," Adrian said contemptuously, "The white dragon sent you, didn’t it? Wild spirit of Obscura, don't you know that Silverboa will wipe you all out one day

The crewmate, John, felt somewhat panicked. He had just been promoted from a sailor to third mate of the ship this year. He had finally gained a decent life, but if something happened to the Wainwright daughter while he was on duty, nobody could stop the Wainwrights' wrath from coming down on him.John looked at Marc uneasily, and sure enough, Marc became far from as gentle as he appeared.Marc exploded in rage. "If you can't find my daughter, I'll feed you to the fish!""But Mr. Marc, Ms. Lucy might’ve jumped into the sea. After all, the waves were huge—"Marc’s Vital Energy surged as he slapped John.After rolling across the ground for a while, John managed to get up while holding his face. Judging from the condensed Vital Energy, Marc was a formidable Grandmaster."I'll give you one last chance. Heaven help me if you don’t find my Lucy!" Marc scowled.John felt hopeless. His surrounding crew members also felt uneasy. Although they felt that this matter had nothing to do with

John was blocking Adrian's path. The latter had intended to blend into the crowd and take a downwind ship to Obscura. However, this plan had gone up in smoke."Didn’t you see me coming out of the sea?" Adrian said plainly.John was speechless. Of course, he saw Adrian come out of the sea, but no normal person would do such a thing."You should be a guest of our ship, but I'm in charge of the upper-class cabins and I've never seen you before." John’s confusion stemmed from this.Although the possibility was very slim, it couldn't be ruled out that someone had plotted a sinister hero-rescues-damsel plan against the Wainwright daughter. In the chaos of the storm, this person might have relied on their fighting skills to launch an attack from the middle and lower-class cabins, thus dragging Lucy into the water and then rescuing her, all to achieve his goals.The key question was how this young man appeared in the middle of the ocean and rescued Lucy. Only guests from the upper-class r

"We've checked the ship’s manifest and found no record of you among the passengers," John said, looking at the young man before him whose clothes had somehow already dried.Adrian pondered for a moment, then nodded. "You might not believe me, but I'm from the frontier force. My airship crashed, and after drifting on the sea surface, I saw your giant ship. Then, I saw someone fall into the water, so I saved her."John was stunned. He had not expected Adrian to come up with such a ridiculous excuse. Surviving a plane crash, drifting who knows how far, and finding their giant ship? That was next to impossible. Even Firnen, the Great Commander of Silverboa, couldn't accomplish such a feat."If you're from the frontier force, then where's your proof of identity?" John questioned."I lost it." Adrian shrugged.The door of the control room then swung open, and a middle-aged man with a stubble walked in. Anthony, the first mate of the ship, looked at John and growled, "John! What happened

"What are you looking at?" Adrian responded provocatively after hearing the other person's taunting tone.The man narrowed his eyes, then got up from his bed. The other four in the cabin also gathered around and stood beside Adrian's bed."Where are you from, kid?"They were unable to figure out Adrian's background. Generally, people dressed like him would not be squeezed into the lower deck like them. On top of that, he was even more arrogant than them."Hah, I came from above," Adrian replied with a light chuckle, causing the five men to exchange glances.The scar-faced young man then asked, "What are you doing here?""Does it concern you?" Adrian responded with a smirk.For individuals from the lower strata of society, preaching about morality and righteousness was useless. What mattered to them was the strength of one's fists. As long as Adrian displayed a more domineering attitude than them, they would not dare to mess with him.As expected, Adrian's attitude made them war
