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? You serious Dad?" Racheal's eyes widened. "Yes I am, if Mr. White is the contract manager, it means the CEO of Bulgart Industry won't be handling the contracts himself, but Mr. White would. You need to go there immediately. I heard there's just three slots." "I'll be right there." Racheal said and hung up the call. Monica overheard the conversation, her body was swelling with anticipation. "That's good news Racheal, go and try your luck. I'm sure you'll be lucky." "Thanks mum. See you later." Racheal dashed out of the office immediately. .... Outside the White company there were many people, shouting with the security trying to get inside the company, but it was to no avail. Some of the people present flew from different states and countries just to meet with Mr. White, working with the Bulgart Industry is a dream come true for any firm and company. Racheal arrived outside the gate with her car, the moment She came out and saw the crowd her jaw dropped. Instantly she lost hope of getting inside, all these people were the heirs and heiress of their family, and most of them owned a much bigger company than the Odias, so if they can't get inside themselves there's no way she would. "Why are they so crowded?" Racheal stomped her feet on the ground. Seeing there was no way to get in, she decided to go back to her office before a familiar voice called from behind. "I can get you in if you want." It was Drake, donned in a black tailored suit. He dipped his hands in his pocket and walked towards Racheal. "Drake, you're here too?" Racheal asked. "Of course, this is the Bulgart Industry we're talking about. And it's owned by the wealthiest man alive, it's a dream come true for everybody." Drake chuckled lightly. "That's true, but sadly, there won't be any slots for both of us, the company is already crowded. And I'm sure Mr. White would have gotten people to fill up the slot." Racheal said with disappointment. "Not really, my family did get a slot." Drake said proudly. "What? Are you for real?" Racheal asked surprised. "Yes, you know my family is very reputable, and my dad has been doing business with Mr. White for more than thirty years, they have a good relationship. So immediately my father asked, he didn't hesitate to Grant my dad's request." "That's so nice." Racheal began to get closer to Drake. "So you're saying you can get me in?" "Yes, I was sent down here by my father to complete some signatures, so I can use that opportunity to sneak you inside." Drake gestured. "That's so nice of you." "But on one condition." He raised his index finger.Latest Chapter
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
Chapter 602
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
Chapter 600
The Heavenly Domain had sounded like a distant legend before. Something to chase someday. But now that Adam knew the truth and understood the power tied to the Ninefold Griffin Amulets, he saw the reality. It was out of reach. Not because he lacked courage, but because the people holding those pieces were monsters in human form.Even if he found all nine locations, claiming them would require strength he simply did not have yet.Even if he pushed the Eternal Rebirth Codex to its first transformation and stepped into the Divine Realm, he would only stand among late-stage divine grandmasters. That might put him near the top of the world, but far from the pinnacle. The major sects weren’t built on lone geniuses. They were built on armies of cultivators, hidden elders, forbidden arts, foundations stretching back centuries.If he had reached the second transformation, that would be different. That would make him untouchable. But wishing for power did not bring it.Bruce broke the silence.
