The Return of the War Legate by Celestial Clouds

Chapter 674
“Y–You b*stard. You actually hit me. You...”
Ivy’s mouth hung open as she found it difficult to breathe..
Once she could breathe normally again, her face turned pale as she said, “Don’t you know you shouldn’t hit a woman in the
stomach, you b*stard? I’ll never forgive you if you damage my uterus!”
Adrian did not seem to be bothered by what she said as he reached out for the book. Ivy tightened her grip around it and took a
few steps back to avoid his hand.
“You’re no match for me, so give it up. Just give me the book and you can leave.”
“In your dreams!”
Ivy trembled as she struggled to stand up, but her face was filled with anger as she said, “You think I’d give you the book after
you’ve hit me? Do you really think I’m going to let you stand there and bully me?”
Adrian sent a huge slap across Ivy’s face the moment she said this, leaving the latter dumbfounded. She covered her face with
one hand and seemed to be in a daze.
Never in her life had she been beaten by a man. Yet, she was first kicked in the stomach by one and was slapped after.
“Arghhh!!!* Ivy suddenly became enraged. “I’m going to kill you, you b*stard!”
She drew out another dagger and swung it at Adrian maniacally. He grabbed her wrist before kicking her in the stomach once
more. But this time, his kick sent Ivy flying backward, and she landed with a loud “thud.”
Ivy was completely flabbergasted at this point, realizing that she was definitely no match for the man in front of her.
“Argh!” Ivy covered her stomach and groaned. Her face was scrunched up from the pain.
She immediately retreated when she saw Adrian walking toward her
“Wh–What are you doing? Stay away from me!” Ivy said in a panic.

However, Adrian just kept on walking, his eyes shining like bright flames. Expressionless, he said, “The way I see it, women.
should just stay at home and take care of their children rather than becoming nonsensical assassins. Now, I’m not that patient of
a person, so you should do as I say if you don’t wish to be beaten up any further.”
Ivy was stunned by how relentless Adrian was, thinking there were not many men who would lay their hands on a woman.
Adrian did not care who he was up against and would use the same degree of force no matter what.
As Adrian continued walking toward her, Ivy panicked and said, “Are you looking down on women?1-”
Adrian raised his foot and stepped on Ivy’s face, fiercely pushing it against the ground before Ivy could even finish her
sentence.
“You, what

At that moment, Ivy broke down and was shocked at how merciless Adrian was. As she lay sabbing on the ground, she said, ”
Why are you stepping on my face, you big oaf?”
Adrian said nothing and bent over to take the book from her hands. It was only after that did he take away his foot.
“Men only like women who are obedient, myself included.
“All right, you can go now. I’ve got to go too.”
After that, Adrian stowed away the book and walked away.
