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 606
Dracula and Romeo both gave short nods, the kind that told everyone the bidding had reached its ceiling.“Twenty billion dollars, going once.”The room fell quiet. No whispering. No shifting chairs. Just a crowd full of people pretending they weren’t stunned.“Twenty billion dollars, going twice.”You could feel the air tighten. Leah held the moment like a blade at the throat.“Twenty billion dollars, sold. Congratulations to the gentleman for securing the first treasure of our auction.”A wave of soft applause rose, the kind that tried to hide envy but failed anyway.Adam let out a breath he had been holding far too long. It had cost him twenty billion, but the old dragon root and the century white herb were worth every cent. He could already picture the furnace, the glow, the moment the ingredients fused into the Ultimate Nourishing Pills. Those pills would push him forward fast. He was already a middle-stage grandmaster. Now he had the key to break past his current shell and reach
Chapter 605
Leah wasn’t bluffing and everyone could tell. The Sanders family controlled the dragon root. If they wanted to hand it to Adam privately, nobody would dare complain. Compared to the resources Cosmic Island moved every year, a single century-old dragon root was nothing.The audience relaxed. The suspicion evaporated.Leah picked the auction back up with a steady voice.“No objections. Good. Bidder 6697 at ten billion. Any other bids?”She barely finished the sentence before a shout cut through the hall.“Eleven billion!”A few heads turned, annoyed. Leah’s quick cadence had been intentional. Anyone with half a brain could see she was trying to close the deal fast to shield Adam from unnecessary hassle. Too bad someone still wanted to play hero.The bidding reignited, ugly and stubborn.Twelve billion.Thirteen.Fourteen.Fifteen.By the time it hit fifteen billion, the atmosphere was tense enough to snap. Everyone here knew the truth. The price was inflated far beyond precedent. The la

Adam felt his pulse spike. He came here hoping the auction would have a century-old dragon root. He expected it to show up near the end or buried deep in the lineup. Seeing it as the very first item hit him like a relief he didn’t want to show on his face. One goal confirmed. One pressure lifted.But he knew better than to relax completely. A root like this wasn’t some small treasure. A century-old dragon root could extend lives, pull the dying back from the edge, and push cultivators through bottlenecks that held them for years. People would fight over it. People would kill over it. And in a room like this, he had competition.Leah stood straight and confident on stage. She held the crowd with ease.“I trust everyone already knows what you’re looking at. A century-old dragon root from Ivory Mountain. No unnecessary talk. Starting bid is one billion dollars, minimum raises of one hundred million.”The reaction was immediate.“1.1 billion.”“1.3 billion.”“1.5 billion.”“Two billion!”
Chapter 603
A graceful silhouette stepped onto the stage. Leah wore a fitted white dress that hugged her figure just enough to remind every man in the hall why the Sanders family had been swatting suitors away for years. Her long hair flowed over her shoulders, softening the sharp poise she carried with every step. When she smiled, it wasn’t seductive; it was warm, almost gentle. That made it even more dangerous. Men trusted a smile like that. They leaned into it.“The auctioneer is stunning.”“Stunning? She looks like she walked out of a dream.”“With a body like that, I’d—”“Shut it if you want to keep breathing,” his friend snapped. “She’s the Sanders heiress. You get caught talking about her like that and you’ll vanish without a trace.”The man clamped up instantly, eyes darting around. When nobody reacted, he exhaled hard, but even he knew he’d pushed his luck.As Leah reached the center of the stage, the room shifted. Conversations faded on instinct. A few men straightened their collars. So

The private boxes were the crown jewels of the auction hall. The cheapest one started at a hundred million dollars. The premium boxes in the front row reached the three hundred million range. Just selling access to those rooms alone would generate billions. Cosmic Island never missed a chance to bleed money from the powerful.Adam didn’t join the crowd rushing in. Instead, he headed straight to the backstage consignments office. Wealth or not, he never turned down an opportunity to earn more, especially when he planned to buy several expensive items today.He brought out three bottles of high-grade pills and one bottle of his Essence Nourishing Pills. Top-tier products. Handcrafted. Rare. The kind of items that could spark bidding wars on their own. The staff accepted the items with a bow, their eyes shining with greed and admiration.Once done, Adam returned to the main hall with Ese and Dante. The place was already packed.He chose seats in the back row without hesitation. He had mo

Adam didn’t answer right away. Bruce’s offer wasn’t small. It wasn’t casual generosity. It was the kind of gesture a father made to a son he wanted to protect for life.Marry his daughter. Take the amulet. Grow strong under the Sanders banner.It hit harder than Adam expected.Bruce had always treated him well, but this was something else entirely. Almost paternal. Almost too much.“Mr. Sanders… I’m grateful. Truly. But I want you to reconsider the marriage between Leah and me.”Bruce’s expression froze. “Why? You don’t want to marry Leah?”He looked genuinely confused. Adam could see it. Leah wasn’t just beautiful. She had talent, discipline, and a gentle nature. Any one of the young masters on Cosmic Island would fight tooth and nail for her. Bruce knew exactly how valuable she was.Which made Adam’s refusal look insane.“Leah is incredible. But I see her as family. A sister. I don’t feel anything romantic toward her,” Adam said quietly. “If I marry her like this, I’d be lying to bo
