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!"

Chapter 722
Lord Hades realized his mistake the moment he saw Adam’s expression. He should have told Sasha to send word earlier. He should have had a contingency that didn’t depend on timing he couldn’t control.There was no time for regret. He pulled the military knife from his belt in one motion and drove it hard into Adam’s abdomen.“Watch out!” Tessa’s warning came half a second too late.The blade connected — and rang out with a sharp metallic clang, like steel striking stone. No blood. No puncture. Adam didn’t even step back.The grin forming on Lord Hades’ face died before it finished.His eyes dropped to the knife, then rose slowly to Adam’s face. What looked back at him wasn’t anger. It was something quieter, and far worse.Adam exhaled slowly. Then he released his spiritual energy — not as a strike, not as a show of force, but as something deliberate and final, a single concentrated pulse directed inward at the man standing before him.Lord Hades’ eyes went wide. His legs gave out benea

“Yes! You can stop me for now, but you can’t stop me forever. If you dare to touch me, I’ll kill myself!” Tessa shouted, her voice trembling yet defiant. Her chest heaved as she tried to summon the last fragments of courage she had left.“It’s too late,” Lord Hades countered, his eyes cold and merciless. “You’ve been poisoned with Blossom. If we don’t consummate, your blood vessels will rupture—and you’ll die.”Tessa’s face turned pale, yet her voice remained steady. “Then let them burst. I’d rather die on my own terms than submit to you.”“That’s not an option,” Lord Hades growled, his body tense with desire and frustration. “I can’t bear the thought of losing you like this. Accept your fate, Tessa.”Before she could respond, he lunged toward her. Every step he took radiated power, his cultivation giving him speed and strength beyond normal comprehension. Tessa screamed and flailed, desperately trying to push him away, but her arms were too weak. Each movement she made seemed futile

“This is how you treat someone you claim to like?” Tessa’s voice cracked at the edges. She was close to breaking, and she knew it, and she hated that he could see it. This wasn’t the first time her appearance had made her a target. There had been a time when she had taken quiet pride in her looks. Now she wished she could shed them entirely. They had brought her nothing but this — men who saw her as something to be acquired rather than a person to be known.Lord Hades shifted uncomfortably, something almost like shame crossing his face before his conviction reasserted itself. “I know how this looks, Ms. Armand. I know it’s despicable. But I needed to act — I couldn’t keep waiting, watching you stay in his orbit and never have a real chance. If I can have you, truly have you, I believe I can make you understand what I feel. The body and the heart aren’t so separate as people pretend.”“You are shameless,” Tessa said. Her whole body was trembling — not just from the fear of what the dru

That selfish desire had been the root of everything that followed.When Lord Hades first uncovered information about Adam’s mother during his intelligence work, he made a quiet decision: he said nothing. He buried the findings, then eliminated the small number of subordinates who had been involved in uncovering them. Clean, efficient, untraceable. He had told himself at the time that he was simply keeping options open. He knew, even then, that he was lying to himself.Then Gunther released word that Adam was dead.Hades had felt something lift from his chest that he hadn’t realized was there. Without Adam, the obstacle simply ceased to exist. Tessa would need protection, guidance, someone capable of keeping her safe in a world that would immediately begin circling her the moment his Supreme General’s shadow no longer fell over her. He had already begun thinking through the details when the news arrived that Gunther had taken her.He hadn’t hesitated. He went after her himself, walked

“I’ll let you go this time,” Adam said. “But hear me — if it happens again, I will kill you.”He didn’t wait for her response. He turned and moved, crossing the terrain at a pace that shouldn’t have been possible. The mountain slopes that would have taken an ordinary person an hour to navigate he scaled in minutes, his silhouette cutting upward along the rock face and vanishing over the ridge.Sasha stood at the lakeside and stared after him long after he had disappeared from view. The shock didn’t settle quickly. She had seen strong men before — warriors, cultivators, people who operated well beyond normal human limits. But what she had just witnessed felt like something categorically different. Something that didn’t belong in the same conversation as ordinary strength.She stayed there for a while, not quite ready to move.Storm City was ringed by mountains — not dramatic peaks but dense, tightly packed ranges that pressed in around the city from every direction. Hollow Reach Mounta
Chapter 717
Adam went still. Of everything he had prepared himself to hear, this wasn’t it.His mother was a warrior. She had never told him. All those years, all the searching, and he hadn’t known something that fundamental about her.“Who tortured her?” he asked, his voice quieter now, which made it more dangerous. “And where is she?”Sasha’s hesitation was brief. “The ones who tortured your mother — they were from Cosmic Island.”The silence that followed was absolute.“That’s impossible.”He had turned over every possibility in the weeks and months of searching. The Marhood family. The Jago family. Enemies accumulated through Supreme Nexus. He had worked through the list methodically, ranked by motive and capability. Cosmic Island had never appeared on it, because the question of how his mother — kept carefully away from his world, never exposed to his enemies — could have drawn their attention made no sense.“Sasha.” His eyes fixed on hers, cold and precise. “You understand what happens if y
