2024-09-03 16:15:32"You don't need to worry I'll message some of our men in Almond City to take care of that, and you need to know she's not your biological mother, you belong here." Stacey said.
"What do you mean by that? Who are you to tell me that?" "Doctor Bryan you can proceed." She said to the old man. "Thank you Stacey." He smiled. "Why'd you bring a doctor?" "Doctor Bryan here is not just any doctor but also a Neurologist and a cognitive rehabilitation therapist. One of the best healers the world can afford, and as a matter of fact you too used to be very close. Right Bryan." Stacey stated. "That's right Lord Adam, we used to be close friends. I used to be one of your teachers." "But I don't know you." Adam, still in confusion, said. "You will in an hour. Adam Manchester, you are a soldier, not just any soldier you are Coastal Flair most powerful ally, the country's greatest force. The supreme general among all four generals." Doctor Bryan stated as he moved around Adam. "Coastal Flair needs you back Adam, the Dead skulls and Eastern Veil is about to launch an attack on Coastal Flair, the country needs its general. It needs you Adam Manchester. "You are not a useless son-in-law as your new family presents you as. You are a billionaire general, a force to be reckoned with. "After the great war three years ago, the helicopter you were traveling with was attacked and you crash landed in another city, unconscious and somehow lost your memory. The Special force has been searching for you ever since. You need to remember." "Stop! Stop! I can't remember anything, I'm telling you I'm not the guy you mistook me for. And I'm Adam Forest not Manchester." Adam's eyes flashed with indignation. "Relax Lord Adam, he's only trying to help you." Stacey said. "Help? The only help I need is getting back to my city." Stacey and doctor Bryan exchanged glances and Bryan nodded. "Forgive me supreme general but I'll have to do it the hard way then" "What are you talking about..." Before he could complete his sentence Stacey belted his arms and legs so he won't be able to move. "What are you doing!" Adam clenched his jaw, the belts were too strong he couldn't even feel his arms and moved an inch. Bryan then went to his table and opened a briefcase, he brought out a device that looked like a helmet and placed it on Adam's head, even if Adam tried to move away it was impossible. The lights soon went off as the room was engulfed in darkness. Suddenly, like a realistic animation, the walls, ceiling and floor started displaying pictures of Adam's previous life, with scenes of him in the battlefield and also happy moments with his colleagues before the war. Meanwhile the helmet was playing familiar sounds of everyone he has known and made friends with and a light electricity was also released to his brain. Adam screamed in agony as his memories were coming in by force. Doctor Bryan was focused on his computer, it was loading and was currently at 11% Adam screamed louder as the pain increased, according to the doctor the higher the percentage of the memory boot, the more of his memories he'll recover. "Please stay calm, it'll soon be over. It's for your own good." Stacey yelled, she knew the feeling of the memory boot, an average person would die at 50% of the boot, but Adam was still alive at 60%. The memory boot machine was built to forcefully restore memories to patience, many couldn't access it, not only because it was too expensive but also because it was super dangerous. Adam's memories were coming back with the speed of light, he could remember his legendary battle that elevated his rank to a general and then a supreme general. Everything was coming back. But when it reached 90% it looked like he couldn't take the pain anymore. He screamed so loud that Stacey was scared. "Turn it off doctor, turnt it off!” Stacey ordered with an urgent tone. “If that machine says on, he'll die!"

There was no point spiraling further. He had three days, and speculation without evidence was just noise. When the time came, he would see the person face to face and get his answers directly.The three days passed quickly.Adam arrived at Vagil Lake alone in the early morning, the phoenix blood herb secured in a case at his side. The place was genuinely striking — mountains layered behind mountains, their peaks softened by morning mist, the lake surface still and mirror-flat between them. Dense forest pressed in from all sides, ancient and unbothered. Under different circumstances it might have been peaceful.It was also, practically speaking, a terrible place to be ambushed. No crowds, no witnesses, no easy exits. Whoever had chosen this location knew what they were doing.The moment he reached the shoreline, Adam extended his spiritual senses outward. His range had grown but still held to roughly a hundred feet in diameter — enough, as it turned out, to matter. He swept it methodic

“It’s nothing. Go back to rest,” Adam said, pulling the killing intent back into himself like a tide receding from shore.The others exchanged uncertain glances but obeyed, filing out without another word. None of them pushed. Whatever they had felt radiating from his room, they understood instinctively that asking about it wasn’t an option.The reason for the eruption was simple: he had recognized the woman in the video.His mother.Despite the years — more than he cared to count — he had known her face instantly. It wasn’t something that required thought. She was thinner than he remembered, her face hollowed by exhaustion and suffering, her hair dull and matted. But it was her. The recognition had hit him not in his mind but somewhere deeper, somewhere that didn’t require confirmation.She didn’t look as old as she should have, which told him the video wasn’t recent. It had been recorded some time ago. What that meant for her current state, he didn’t know, and not knowing was its ow

“Adam, our grudge is settled. Why did you capture me?” Sasha demanded, her eyes blazing.“Settled? When?” Adam tilted his head, genuinely appearing to search his memory. “I must have missed it.”“Don’t play dumb.” She crossed her arms, jaw tight. “I served you for two days, and then my father redeemed me with the phoenix blood herb. What more could you possibly want?”“You’re right,” Adam conceded easily. “We were even. Before today.” He let that land. “Then you showed up at Gunther’s wedding.”“That’s absurd. I attended a wedding — I didn’t raise a hand against you. Half the region was there. Why am I the only one standing in front of you right now?”Adam regarded her for a moment, something almost like amusement passing through his expression. “Didn’t expect you to have such a sharp tongue.” He waved a hand. “Fine. You can go. But hear me clearly — stay out of my affairs and don’t entertain any thoughts of revenge. The consequences won’t be worth it.”“I never intended to seek reven

Tessa nodded.“What if someone threatens you using your grandfather and parents?” Adam pressed, his eyes narrowing. He already knew her answer before she gave it — or rather, before she failed to give it.The hesitation was immediate. Tessa’s lips parted, then closed again. Her grandfather and parents were the single thread anyone could pull to unravel her completely, and both she and Adam knew it.His expression hardened. “I’m warning you,” he said coldly. “Even if someone threatens you with your grandfather and parents, you must not give yourself away. Do you understand me?”“Yes.” Tessa nodded, though the word came out smaller than she intended.“Understanding isn’t enough.” His voice dropped to something quieter and far more dangerous. “You must remember it. And if you find you can’t keep this promise —” he paused, letting the silence do its work, “— I will kill your grandfather and parents myself. Right now. Then you won’t have to worry about them being used against you ever agai

To Adam’s surprise, besides Sasha, Whitney was also missing.Adam didn’t bother to search for her either. She had her own feet to carry her wherever she wished, and he had neither the patience nor the inclination to chase after a woman who clearly didn’t want to be found. Whatever her reasons, they were her own.Leaving Lord Venom, Gina, and the others to handle the aftermath of the chaos that had unfolded, Adam took Tessa by the wrist and led her away from the ruins of what was supposed to have been a wedding. The contrast wasn’t lost on him — she was still dressed in white, still breathtaking, still radiating that quiet grace that had always unsettled him in ways he refused to examine too closely.The journey back to Hollow Reach Valley was silent. Tessa didn’t speak, and Adam didn’t offer her any words of comfort or explanation. The tension between them was a living thing, coiled and restless, filling the space where conversation should have been. Tessa stole glances at his profile

Aside from Gina, Ese was visibly shaken as well. Her fists were clenched, nails digging into her palms, eyes fixed on Adam with a mixture of confusion and anger. Even Lord Venom felt a faint ripple of resentment stir within him, though he buried it immediately. As a subordinate, his loyalty to Adam was absolute. Whether he understood the decision or not did not matter.Adam’s hand continued to stroke Elsa’s hair slowly, almost tenderly. His other hand rested against her back, steady and unmoving.Elsa was still crying, her body trembling as she clung to him, convinced she had been spared.Then, without warning, the temperature in the room dropped.A surge of dense, pitch-black energy erupted from Adam’s palm. There was no explosion, no sound. The force passed straight through Elsa’s back and shattered her heart in an instant.Her body stiffened.Her eyes widened in disbelief, tears frozen on her lashes, before the light within them faded. Her lips parted as if she wanted to speak, but
