2024-09-04 17:09:14Immediately 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 influential people in the world, including governors and invited Presidents from other nations. The four Generals were also seated at the table, doctor Bryan was also honored to be seated amongst them. Afterall he is the world's number one healer. After the banquet, the party lasted for three days before everyone returned to their various Cities and countries. Even after the celebration the news was still heavy on the Internet about the return of the supreme General. Adam was in his private lounge, his legs crossed on a table before Stacey walked in, she was dressed officially. "Lord Adam, he's arrived. Mr. Lee." "Bring him in." Adam sat across from Jihoon Lee in his private lounge, sipping fine scotch. "Jihoon, I've admired Bulgart Industry's remarkable growth under your leadership," Adam began. "Your vision transformed coastal Flair into a global hub." Jihoon smiled, pride evident in his eyes. "Thank you, Adam. We've worked tirelessly." Adam leaned forward. "I'm here to make you an offer. I want to acquire the Bulgart Industry." Jihoon's expression turned guarded. "I'm not interested in selling." Adam anticipated this response. "Hear me out. I'm willing to offer 10 trillion dollars." Jihoon's eyes widened, his composure momentarily shaken. Bulgart Industry's net worth was 4 trillion; Adam's offer was more than double. "What makes you think I'd consider this?" Jihoon asked, regaining his poise. "Your legacy will be secured, Jihoon. The Bulgart Industry will continue thriving under my leadership. I'll ensure your vision expands globally." Jihoon hesitated, weighing his options. His children had expressed interest in pursuing other passions, and retirement beckoned. "Ten trillion is...tempting," Jihoon admitted. "But I need assurances." "Name them," Adam replied, crossing his fingers on the table. "Retain all employees, maintain headquarters in coastal Flair, and continue our philanthropic efforts." Adam nodded. "Agreed. I'll also establish the Jihoon Lee Foundation, dedicating 1% of annual profits to supporting coastal Flair's community." Jihoon's resolve crumbled. He extended his hand. "Deal." Adam smiled, shaking Jihoon's hand. Of course he had other motives for buying the biggest industry in the World. He wasn't interested in business whatsoever, his goal was to use this means to crumble Almond City and his enemies together in it. The news escalated throughout the City, "Jinhoo Lee, the Business God sold the unbeatable Bulgart Industry to Mr. Manchester." Considering how Jinhoo was proud of his company, no one ever believed he'd one day sell it. Maybe it was because he was getting old, some thought. They all wondered the amount he would sell his company.

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

The landlord was frozen in shock, he knew for sure the apartment wasn't worth close to ten million. At best it's $500k. In less than thirty minutes Adam signed some papers as the new owner of the apartment. He instantly called some construction engineers to build a grave inside of the house and renovate the house, securing it with an iron gate and fence. It was supposed to take more than a day, but Adam ordered triple times the number of workers to make everything done before the night falls. After they finished, Adam and his men, along with Stacey, stood around the grave, dressed in black. The night was cold and quiet, just the way Adam wanted—no witnesses, no questions. The candles flickered in the breeze, their small flames dancing against the night sky. Adam stood stiffly at the edge of the grave, his fists clenched at his sides. His black shirt clung to his skin, damp from sweat, though the air was cool. The others stood silently around him, their faces drawn, their eyes

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.”
Chapter 205
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

The next day, General Arin arranged a private jet to take Adam and Stacey to Ray City. At the airport, Stacey wheeled Adam toward the waiting jet. Several military officers stood in formation, ready to salute the Supreme General. General Arin stepped forward and bowed his head. “Welcome, Supreme General.” Adam gave a slight nod. The soldiers exchanged puzzled glances, struggling to process what they were seeing. Who would dare break the Supreme General’s legs? Clearing his throat, Arin spoke carefully. “Forgive me for asking, Lord Adam, but are you sure you’re ready to travel? Your injuries haven’t fully healed.” Adam scoffed. “These?” He gestured at his legs before standing up effortlessly. The entire group froze in shock. “Lord Adam… you could walk this whole time?” Stacey asked, wide-eyed. “Yes,” Adam said casually. “I healed days ago. I just kept up the act to make the Armands believe I was weak. Revealing my healing abilities would only attract unnecessary attentio
Chapter 202
Adam scoffed, his expression full of disdain. "My legs might be broken, but that doesn’t mean some stray like you can push me around." Samuel’s face darkened instantly. His fists clenched, and a dangerous aura radiated from his body. His killing intent was palpable, sending a shiver down the spines of those nearby. "You’re dead!" he snarled, his eyes burning with fury. Just as Samuel was about to make his move, Tessa hurriedly stepped forward, blocking his path. Her heart pounded in fear as she pleaded, "Mr. Samuel, please let him go… for my sake." Samuel turned his sharp gaze on her, his anger shifting toward disbelief. "You two are already divorced! Don’t tell me you still care about this piece of trash?" His voice was laced with irritation. Tessa shook her head rapidly, her expression flustered. "Of course not," she denied. However, a flicker of hesitation flashed in her eyes, betraying her emotions. "But… we were married, after all. And he once saved my life. I can’t just igno
