Six months later. Adam had fully recovered, today was the first day he stood by himself. His legs perfectly healed like they had never been damaged before.

Stacey walked into his room.

"Lord Adam, the car is ready." She announced.

"I will take my shower now." He replied authoritatively and she left to make other arrangements.

Today was no ordinary day, it was recorded as the biggest celebration in the world. The return of the Supreme General, all the Military personnel of the country, the Army, the Navy, the Air Force and the Special Force will all be present to welcome the return of the God of war.

All high prestigious men and women will also be present including all government officials and also presidents from other countries like Russia, USA and China. Adam was a National treasure, his life was as important as the president of the country.

His name alone trembled nations, he has single handedly taken down an entire enemy fleet. For his service the Government paid hundred billion dollars monthly into his account making him worth Trillions. He's one of the three people in the world who owned that much money, even though the others are based on their company and shares, and Adam's wealth was his only. Ray City was also given to him as a gift, he's like a king, he could decide life and death.

Adam, and Stacey drove in the same car meanwhile they were escorted with 1000 Rolls Royce Phantom VIII Armored vehicles. Today was considered a national public holiday, so the road was cleared enough for all the cars. The Banquet was held in the Presidential Villa, which was spacious enough for the many guests.

Many reporters stood in a line, but there were thousands of security guards present to contain the crowd. Adam's car stopped, Stacey came out first, she was beautiful with her hourglass shape that fits in her black leather dress. She opened the other part of the car as Adam stepped out.

Many pictures were taken at the same time but none could get a clear view of his face.

He was donned in a silver suit that was made with Vicuña wool, the most expensive wool in the world and its buttons made from pure diamond. He was also wearing a Rolex. His presence was majestic and all the female invitees could do anything to make him theirs.

Before he could make a step further, the four great Generals of Coastal Flair matched up to him, each wearing the most expensive things the brands could make.

General Kael Woods, Commander of the Eastern Forces. General Thane Blackwood Western Forces Commander. General Arin Vex, The Commander of the Southern Forces, and lastly General Liam Gore, Commander of the Northern Forces. All powerful men who could single handedly take down thousands of Men. Each General has one million soldiers as their special ally, a single General could wage war against a country.

The Generals bowed in unison. "Welcome Supreme General." They declared.

Like a wave the gesture rippled through the ranks of the soldiers present. Thousands of soldiers dropped to one knee, their heads bowed in reverence. "Hail the Supreme General!" Their voices echoed throughout the City.

The four Generals stood up and escorted Adam to the entrance of the Mansion. The President hurriedly came to Adam, he stretched hands to shake with him. "Mr. Manchester, I am so grateful you are back, you put the entire country in panic after you went missing."

"Thank you President Ryan, for this large banquet."

"This isn't even enough to welcome the most important person in the country."

Adam walked into the Banquet, there were at least 10 most important people from each country of the world, ten of each meal from different tribes from over the World were displayed on the enormously long table. None of Coastal Flair's so-called company owners had the privilege to be invited, except Jinhoo Lee, the CEO of Bulgart Industry, the biggest industry in the country and the World in general.

    Immediately Mr. Lee saw Adam, he got up from his seat to approach him, he had always dreamt of meeting the Supreme General in person. "Mr. Manchester, I am Jinhoo Lee, the CEO of Bulgart Industry. It is an honor to finally meet you." "I'm already aware who you are Mr. Lee, as a matter of fact I will request a short meeting with you." Adam stated, hearing this Mr. Lee felt like it was a dream, did Mr. Manchester want to meet with him? "Of course, whenever you are ready, I will be too." He said excitedly. "Next week." Adam said with a smile. "Sure, I'll be free next week." They shook hands again. And then Adam left to his table with Stacey. "What do you have in mind this time, Lord Adam?" "Don't worry you'll find out soon." Adam smirked. Stacey rolled her eyes. President Ryan suddenly approached Adam. “Mr. Manchester, do you mind sharing a table with me? I have some honorable guests I would like to introduce you to.” “Sure.” Adam Joined the President with other most influentia

    Mr. Lee introduced Adam to the board Members in a board meeting. He sat at the chairman's seat and addressed, "As you'll have heard, the rumors are true, Mr. Manchester indeed bought the industry yesterday, making him acquire all my shares. 99% of the company's shares now belong to Mr. Manchester." They all clapped, and immediately the door opened as Adam walked in. His presence commands respect and authority. After they were told it was Mr. Manchester, the Supreme General who bought the company, they were all eager to see him, not to mention working with him, it was the greatest privilege. Mr. Lee stood up from his seat, allowing Adam to sit, as the new Chairman of Bulgart Industry. "Thank you all for your trust in me. I'm glad to join you all, and as your new Chairman I ensure to move this industry to a greater height." Adam spoke and everyone clapped. "Furthermore I have a new project already for us to start right away." Adam announced and everyone was shocked. "Wow, so sudden

    Although Drake had been making much effort to marry Racheal. But she kept turning him down, she only used him to kick Adam out of her life, he was only a stepping stone for her plans. After using him to achieve what she wanted she pushed him aside. "If you say so darling. So have you heard about the Bulgart Industry?" Monica asked, taking a sip from her drink. "Who hasn't? It's all over the news. Sadly it's beyond our reach." "What do you mean? Aren't you going to apply for a deal?" Racheal rubbed her temple softly, "Mother, Bulgart is the biggest industry in the world, what makes you think they'll look at our little company." "Well, anything is possible." Monica waved her hands. Just then Racheal's phone rang. It was Mr. Luther. "Hello Dad." "Have you heard the news dear?" Mr. Luther's voice was in haste. "What news?" "Bulgart Industry just launched in Almond City today, and Mr. White had already bagged a partnership with them as the company's Contract Manager." "What? Yo

    "What condition?" "You have to agree to marry me. It's been six months already Racheal, you keep procrastinating our marriage. Don't you love me anymore?" Drake proposed. Racheal shook her head, if only Drake knew she was just manipulating him to get what she wanted, he's nothing but a stepping stone and nothing more. She never had feeling for Drake, he's always seen with multiple women, changing women like clothes, he's definitely not the kind of man she wanted for herself. If Drake wasn't from a wealthy family, no one would look at him twice. "Drake, of course I love you. But I'm not just ready for marriage now." Racheal decided to play her manipulative scheme. Drake wrapped his hands around her waist. "Come on babe, I've already helped you kick that asshole Adam out of your life. No more excuses." Drake smirked. Drake's gesture was bringing some attention to them, Racheal felt embarrassed and she moved a step away from him. "You're right, Drake. But I'm still not ready, sorry."

    "Enough with the joke trash. What the hell are you doing here? Who let you in?" Drake asked bitterly. "I just told you, this is my company." Adam gestured. "You?" Drake pointed at his clothes, it was a rag compared to what Drake was wearing. Even if Adam looked good facially, his clothes were still shabby. How dare he brag about being the owner of Bulgart Industry? Drake went hot red, "How dare you make such claims, I will report you to the authorities for false claims. We all know this industry belongs to Mr. Manchester, you'll be sorry when he finds out you're impersonating him, he's a war General you trash!" "Go ahead then, I can't keep explaining this to you. And by the way, what are you two doing here?" Adam asked. Drake laughed, "is that supposed to be a joke? Of course we came to see Mr. White, my family was selected as one of the contractors. And I'm going to help my future wife, Racheal, bag a contract too." He then wrapped his hands around her waist again. Racheal

    The crowd outside the gate was restless, their eyes glued to the scene unfolding inside, eager for more drama. "Isn’t that the Odias’ disgrace of a son-in-law?" "Yeah, I heard he went to prison for trying to assault his sister-in-law." "What’s that ex-convict doing here?" "Probably came to cause trouble. Those kinds never change." "Look at him standing there—he thinks he can do anything?" Adam could hear every word, each insult cutting into him like a razor. His fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles cracked. The crowd’s sneers were nothing new, but the shame burned all the same. "Why are you here, Adam?" Racheal hissed, her eyes sharp and unforgiving. "What do you want from us?" Adam’s expression darkened. "I've already told you. this is my company." "You’ve got some nerve showing your face here after everything," Drake sneered, stepping forward. "If you know what’s good for you, you’ll leave before things get ugly." Adam’s gaze flicked to Drake, unbothered by

    Mr. White bowed with his head low on Adam's feet. Everyone was frozen, what the hell was going on? Was Mr. White high on whiskey? "What's wrong with you, Mr. White? He's an imposter!" Drake was disgusted by Mr. White's behavior. "Shut up you imbecile!" Mr. White shot a deadly glance at Drake. Racheal was dumbstruck, doesn't Mr. White knows that Adam was their trash son-in-law? How can he bow to him? What's going on? Mr. White remained on the ground with his head low, waiting for Adam's permission to get up. "Mr. White, is this how you treat your guests? By sending your friend's son to insult me in public? To the extent he even attacked me? You know the offense that comes with that don't you?" Adam's face darkened. Mr. White was trembling with fear, the offense for attacking the supreme General is death, he was praying for time to reverse back so he could stop Drake from coming to his company, he's ruined now. With just a fingertip, Mr. Manchester could destroy his entire lineage.

    Mr. White was still on the ground, bowing to Adam, he dared not stand up without his permission. "It's just been a day since I made you the contract manager, and you've already given out a slot without my permission. You're not trustworthy Mr. White." "I'm sorry Mr. Manchester, please don't punish me, I will terminate the contract with them." "No need for that, I was going to give them a slot anyways, it's like you read my mind." Adam smirked. "You were?" Mr. White was shocked. "Yes, you can get up now." Adam instructed. Mr. White dusted himself. "So have you forgiven me?" "For now, you're still useful so I'm going to let you live." Mr. White was relieved. "I'm going to destroy the Penthouse, and for the remaining two slots, I'm going to tell you who to give it to." Adam said before leaving, he had other things to take care of before focusing on his revenge. He had to properly bury his mother and let her soul rest in peace. Adam brought out his phone and called Stacey. “Hel

    Wendy struggled violently, trying to rip her hand from Adam’s iron grip, but it was no use. His hold was unshakable.“Let go of me, you freak!” she cried, twisting her wrist.“Let go of my daughter!” Brenda screamed, charging forward and grabbing Wendy’s other arm, pulling with all her might. “David! What the hell are you doing just standing there? Help us, you idiot!”David blinked, startled, then scrambled toward them. The three of them pulled and tugged, but Adam’s grip didn’t loosen. His muscles didn’t even twitch.It was like trying to move a statue.“GUARDS!” Wendy screamed. “NOW!”Suddenly, heavy footsteps thundered through the mansion. One by one, twenty massive men in black suits stormed in, forming a line behind the family.Wendy, still in Adam’s hold, grinned in pain. “I knew you’d come. So I made preparations. These aren’t ordinary guards—they’re trained fighters. You're finished, Adam.”Adam raised an eyebrow and slowly released her hand. As Wendy and her parents stumbled

    Blood drained from Wendy’s face as she stumbled backward, retreating to the safety of her family’s side. Her knees felt weak. Adam’s cold, unwavering gaze was suffocating.Suddenly, Gerald stepped forward, his voice thundering through the room.“You!” he roared. “What the hell are you doing back in this mansion? After everything, I told you never to return! Are you here to cause more chaos?”But Adam didn’t flinch. His eyes never left Wendy. His voice, low and biting, cut through the noise.“I asked a question,” he growled. “Where. Is. Tessa?”Brenda immediately stepped in, scoffing as she placed herself between Wendy and Adam.“What’s wrong with you?” she snapped. “Why would my daughter know anything about Tessa’s whereabouts? Are you delusional, or just trying to stir up drama again?”Eleanor’s face twisted in contempt.“You disgusting brute,” she spat. “You walk back in here like you still belong. You brought nothing but bad luck to Tessa—and to all of us. If she’s missing, it’s no

    Back at the Armand mansion, the tension was suffocating. The family had been searching for Tessa all night, and frustration was mounting with each passing minute.“Where the hell is that girl?” Gerald slammed his cane against the floor, his voice echoing through the grand hall. “Tonight’s the banquet, and she needs to be there! This isn’t a game!”“I don’t know, Father.” Eleanor sighed, rubbing her temples. “I’ve checked the entire mansion—her room, the gardens, even the servants’ quarters. She’s not here.”Gerald turned to her sharply. “And her phone?”“I’ve tried calling her multiple times, but it’s switched off.”His expression darkened. “That girl dares to go missing on such an important night? Does she not understand what’s at stake? That daughter of yours is getting on my nerves!”The room fell into tense silence until Wendy strolled in, an amused smirk on her face.Richard’s eyes narrowed. “Wendy, have you seen Tessa?”Wendy let out a mocking laugh. “Why would I? She’s not my r

    “What?” Tessa’s eyes widened in shock. “I will never marry you! Not like this!” Samuel let out a low chuckle. “You don’t have much time, Tessa.” His voice was calm, but laced with warning. “Tomorrow is the banquet. Chaosbreaker, Tristan, and Adam will all be there.” He leaned in slightly. “If you change your mind, tell the guards.” With that, he tossed the papers onto her lap and walked away without another word. Tessa sat frozen, her thoughts spiraling. She had signed the divorce papers to protect Adam from Tristan, but it was pointless. Samuel wouldn’t stop until Adam was dead. The next morning, Adam stepped off his private jet, his expression dark and unreadable. Stacey followed closely behind, but all eyes were on Lord Hammer and the men kneeling before him. “Forgive me, Lord Adam,” Hammer said, his voice heavy with guilt. “I failed to protect Lady Tessa once again.” Adam’s fists clenched at his sides, his entire presence radiating danger. He had expected Samuel and Wendy to

    "Nice to see you again, Tessa." Samuel's voice was laced with amusement, his smirk radiating cruelty. Tessa’s breathing grew heavy. “Wendy…?” she whispered, her stomach twisting as she looked at her supposed sister. “Nice work,” Samuel praised, nodding at Wendy. Realization hit Tessa like a lightning bolt. She should have never trusted Wendy. “You…” Before she could finish, Wendy swung a rock at her head. A sharp, blinding pain shot through her skull, and darkness swallowed her whole. Tessa collapsed, unconscious. Wendy exhaled sharply, shaking her sore hand. “You fool! You almost killed me!” she snapped at Samuel. Samuel shrugged. “You were the one who wanted the tires shot out.” “Still! What if I died?” Wendy seethed. Samuel chuckled. “Relax. You’re still breathing, aren’t you?” Wendy shot him a glare before composing herself. “Now, onto the real plan.” She picked up Tessa’s phone, a wicked smile creeping onto her lips. “We use her to lure Adam out.” Samuel smirked, turnin

    Tessa shifted uncomfortably in her seat, glancing at the side mirror. A black sedan trailed them, keeping a suspiciously steady distance. Her pulse quickened. She turned to Wendy, who was engrossed in her phone, fingers flying across the screen as she chatted with someone. Tessa’s gut told her something wasn’t right. She had never fully trusted Wendy, and this only made her more suspicious. She started feeling that she made a big mistake coming along with Wendy without informing anyone. “Wendy, I think we’re being followed,” she said, her voice low but urgent. She gestured toward the mirror, hoping Wendy would take her seriously. Wendy barely looked up. “You’re overthinking, Tessa. No one’s following us. Who would even be tracking us?” she said dismissively. Before Tessa could argue, headlights flooded the car from the front. Another vehicle was approaching fast, cutting off their path. Panic surged through her. “We’re being followed! Take us back home—now!” she ordered the drive

    Tessa pulled away from the hug, settling on the bed with Wendy. “Thank you, Tessa, for giving me a chance. You really have the kindest heart,” Wendy said, her voice soft with gratitude. Tessa smiled. “It’s nothing. I’m just happy you’ve realized your mistakes and changed for the better.” Wendy’s lips curled into a forced smile. “You know, Tessa, we’ve never really spent time together as family. So, I thought… why don’t we have a little party? Just you and me.” Tessa tensed. She knew the kind of parties Wendy attended, and she wanted no part in them. “Uh, Wendy, you know I don’t really do nightlife…” she said hesitantly. “Oh, don’t worry!” Wendy reassured her quickly. “No strippers, no wild scenes—I planned something classy, just for you. Just a simple dinner outing.” Tessa hesitated but eventually nodded. “Alright then.” Wendy’s smile widened. “Thank you for agreeing! I love you, sister.” She hugged Tessa again before standing. “I’ll make the arrangements. We’ll leave tonight.”

    Later that day, Tessa remained in her room, her face swollen from crying all night. She felt empty, exhausted, and more alone than ever. No matter how many times she tried, she couldn’t reach Adam. At this point, she was convinced—he had blocked her. A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. “I’m not hungry, Mom!” she called out dismissively. She hadn’t eaten all day, despite her mother’s insistence. She assumed it was another attempt to force her to eat—until the door creaked open. It wasn’t her mother. “Wendy?” Tessa’s brows furrowed in confusion. “What are you doing here?” Wendy stood at the doorway, holding a tray of food. The sight alone was enough to unsettle Tessa. They had never gotten along—Wendy had despised her for years. Seeing her act considerate now felt… off. “I came to make sure you’ve eaten today,” Wendy said, her voice unusually soft. Tessa narrowed her eyes. “Since when do you care about me? If you’re here to mock me, just get out.” Instead of l

    Samuel seized the opportunity and approached Tessa, placing his hands on her shoulders. “I’m sorry, Tess…” “Get your hands off me!” She shoved him away. “Tessa, what’s wrong with you? I’m not your enemy. I’m only trying to help you and your family.” “Well, we don’t need your help! And I’m never going to marry you!” She snatched her phone from his grasp and stormed off. Samuel stood there, humiliated. His jaw clenched as rage simmered beneath his embarrassment. “Adam, you bastard!” he bellowed, stomping his foot. He had been certain that once Adam was out of the picture, Tessa would finally come around. But instead, her hatred for him had only grown. There was only one thing left to do—eliminate Adam completely. “I’m going to kill you, Adam. I swear it,” he growled through gritted teeth. “And how exactly do you plan on doing that?” A smooth, feminine voice interrupted from behind. Samuel turned sharply. It was Wendy. “Wendy?... I…” Samuel stammered. “No need to
