"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 was feeling uncomfortable but she had to endure as long as it'll push Adam away. "Future wife? So it means you two aren't even married yet?" Adam scoffed. He couldn't believe he went through so much drama because of Drake and he couldn't even marry Racheal. "What do you mean asshole? We're going to get married!" Drake flared in anger. "You're so stupid Drake. Isn't it obvious that Racheal is just using you? I doubt she truly loves you." Adam taunted. They weren't far from the gate, so everyone outside could hear their conversation. Racheal felt embarrassed when all eyes were shot at her, she wouldn't want anyone to think she indeed used Drake, during her birthday party, rumors had already spread that she was dating Drake and she wanted it to remain that way, until she achieved what she wanted completely. "Don't listen to him, Drake, you know he's a liar." "I believe you babe. I know you love me." Drake quickly shrugged the thought of Racheal using him off his head. "After all your efforts to kick me out of your life, how's that working out for you. You went as far as sending me to prison. I expect you to be married to Drake by now, I mean isn't he the reason we got divorced in the first place?" Adam continued to fuel the conversation with pressure. Racheal felt attacked, Adam was speaking facts, she only used Drake to kick him out, she doesn't really love Drake. "Poor Drake, I'm sure you haven't even kissed my ex wife." "Shut up you trash! Or I'll send you back to where you came from!" Drake was vibrating in rage, he was going to tear Adam apart, but again Adam was speaking facts. He hasn't even kissed Racheal, she kept turning him down after she divorced Adam. "You talk a lot for a man, Drake. you're pathetic!"

Chapter 665
“These Purple Miracle Pills are far more difficult to refine than I imagined. I nearly lost my life just now.”Adam wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, lingering fear flashing across his eyes. During the final stage of refinement, his spiritual energy had been stretched to its absolute limit. One moment of weakness and the alchemy pot would’ve backfired, destroying both the pills and himself. It was only through sheer willpower—and years of walking the line between life and death—that he had managed to endure.His chest rose and fell heavily.But then, a rich and intoxicating fragrance drifted into his nose.Adam’s eyes lit up instantly, and a brilliant smile spread across his face. All the exhaustion, all the danger—it had been worth it.He slowly lifted the lid of the alchemy pot.Inside lay nine Purple Miracle Pills, resting quietly in a ring of faint purple light. Each pill was crystal clear, as if carved from flawless emerald. Spiritual energy swirled around them, and the sce

Inside the alchemy room, once the heavy door sealed shut and the outside noises faded away, Adam finally relaxed his vigilance.Without hesitation, he picked up the century-old frostbloom. A faint chill radiated from the pale-blue petals, and the spiritual energy contained within it was so dense it was almost tangible. This was a sacred-grade healing herb—something countless experts would fight to the death over.Adam crushed it lightly between his fingers and swallowed it whole.The moment it entered his body, a surge of icy yet gentle energy exploded within his meridians. Adam immediately sat cross-legged on the floor, closing his eyes as he guided the medicinal essence through his body.Crack. Crack.The sound of bones and muscles knitting together echoed faintly inside him. The wounds that still lingered on his body—both internal and external—began healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Torn muscles reconnected, fractured bones fused seamlessly, and damaged meridians were re

Adam remained outwardly composed, his expression calm and detached, but inside, his heart was surging with uncontrollable excitement.If he had relied on his own strength and connections to gather these four main spiritual herbs, it would have taken him at least ten years—perhaps even longer. Some of them might never have appeared on the market in his lifetime. Spiritual herbs of this level were rarely traded openly. They were usually hoarded by ancient families or hidden away by powerful organizations as trump cards.Although the Supreme Nexus and Bulgart Industry he founded were far stronger than the Marlowe family in terms of future potential, they were still too young. They lacked the deep-rooted networks, hidden channels, and centuries of accumulation that an ancient family like the Marlowes possessed. When it came to mobilizing resources across the entire Coastal Flair region, the Marlowes were still vastly superior.This deal alone had saved Adam an immeasurable amount of time
Chapter 662
“Really? That’s wonderful.”Lazarus couldn’t hide his excitement anymore. His eyes lit up as if a heavy boulder had finally been lifted from his chest. For days, he had been plagued by anxiety, uncertain whether he could ever gather all the required medicinal herbs. Now, in one conversation, the most difficult pieces had fallen into place.Dracula looked at him calmly and said flatly, “We may be partners, but business is business. How much are you willing to pay for it?”Lazarus hesitated for a brief moment before answering cautiously, “Twenty billion dollars. What do you think?”He wasn’t making a blind offer. At the most recent auction on Cosmic Island, a century-old dragon root had fetched exactly twenty billion dollars, setting a historical record. By any standard, it was already an astronomical price.Yet Dracula’s lips curved into a faint, disdainful smile.“Mr. Marlowe, it seems your sincerity is still lacking,” he said coolly. “A century-old dragon root is far more valuable th
Chapter 661
Lazarus had initially planned to introduce Adam to Dracula and the others. After all, a healer of such caliber was a rare sight, and building connections was never a bad thing. However, upon hearing that Adam needed to rest, Lazarus hesitated for only a moment before abandoning the idea. Right now, Julian’s recovery took precedence over everything else.After arranging for Adam to be escorted to the guest quarters under heavy guard, Lazarus returned to the main living room to receive his visitors.The atmosphere shifted the moment he stepped inside.Dracula, Romeo, and Selena sat calmly, each of them exuding an invisible pressure. They were people who stood at the peak of the underworld and the martial world alike.Lazarus smiled politely and clasped his hands.“Mr. Alvora, Mr. Trey, Mrs. Alvora—what brings the three of you here today?” he asked, his tone measured.Selena crossed her legs elegantly and smiled.“We’ve received reliable information that Adam might be hiding in Ray City.
Chapter 660
Julian, who had finally seen a glimmer of hope after years of despair, grew anxious the moment Adam spoke.“Whitney,” Julian said urgently, his voice trembling, “just endure it for now. Do it for me.”“No way! Absolutely not!” Whitney snapped without the slightest hesitation. Her face flushed with anger and humiliation. As the treasured daughter of the Marlowe family, she had been pampered since birth. Servants bowed to her, elders indulged her—how could she possibly lower herself to wash another person’s feet?“Whitney, just bear it for your brother’s sake,” Lazarus urged, his tone heavy. “This concerns the future of our family.”Whitney clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms. She wanted to scream, to smash something, to draw her sword again—but she didn’t dare. Lazarus’s authority was absolute.After a long, suffocating silence, she turned away sharply. Moments later, she returned with a basin of warm water, her movements stiff and resentful.She knelt down reluctantly
