Chapter 708
To Adam’s surprise, besides Sasha, Whitney was also missing.Adam didn’t bother to search for her either. She had her own feet to carry her wherever she wished, and he had neither the patience nor the inclination to chase after a woman who clearly didn’t want to be found. Whatever her reasons, they were her own.Leaving Lord Venom, Gina, and the others to handle the aftermath of the chaos that had unfolded, Adam took Tessa by the wrist and led her away from the ruins of what was supposed to have been a wedding. The contrast wasn’t lost on him — she was still dressed in white, still breathtaking, still radiating that quiet grace that had always unsettled him in ways he refused to examine too closely.The journey back to Hollow Reach Valley was silent. Tessa didn’t speak, and Adam didn’t offer her any words of comfort or explanation. The tension between them was a living thing, coiled and restless, filling the space where conversation should have been. Tessa stole glances at his profile

Aside from Gina, Ese was visibly shaken as well. Her fists were clenched, nails digging into her palms, eyes fixed on Adam with a mixture of confusion and anger. Even Lord Venom felt a faint ripple of resentment stir within him, though he buried it immediately. As a subordinate, his loyalty to Adam was absolute. Whether he understood the decision or not did not matter.Adam’s hand continued to stroke Elsa’s hair slowly, almost tenderly. His other hand rested against her back, steady and unmoving.Elsa was still crying, her body trembling as she clung to him, convinced she had been spared.Then, without warning, the temperature in the room dropped.A surge of dense, pitch-black energy erupted from Adam’s palm. There was no explosion, no sound. The force passed straight through Elsa’s back and shattered her heart in an instant.Her body stiffened.Her eyes widened in disbelief, tears frozen on her lashes, before the light within them faded. Her lips parted as if she wanted to speak, but

Lord wavebreaker face drained of all color. His lips trembled, but his spine stayed straight as he knelt.“O’ Supreme General, I deserve death,” he said hoarsely. “I will not beg for my life. I only ask that my family be spared. They know nothing of my crime.”The hall was silent. No one dared to breathe.Adam studied Wavebreaker for a long moment. This was not a coward kneeling before him. This was a man who knew the cost of betrayal and accepted it without complaint.“You have rendered great service over the years,” Adam said calmly. “Your loyalty before today will not be erased by one failure. Your family will be protected and provided for. They will live without fear.”Wavebreaker’s shoulders shook. He pressed his forehead to the ground.“Thank you, O’ Supreme General.”He rose without hesitation, reached for a spear resting nearby, and positioned its tip against his chest. There was no scream. No second thought. With a single decisive motion, he drove the weapon through himself.

When the blinding light finally faded, the lobby no longer resembled a place meant for celebration.It was a battlefield.The marble floor in front of Adam was completely destroyed, reduced to a jagged crater that spread outward like a spiderweb. Tables had been torn apart and scattered into splinters. Decorative pillars had collapsed. Shards of glass and broken stone littered the ground.Bodies were everywhere.The Gods of War and Elders who had launched the attack lay sprawled across the ruins. Their clothes were burned black. Their skin was charred, still faintly smoking. Blood seeped from their noses and mouths, bright red against scorched flesh.Some had already gone still.Some twitched weakly, barely conscious.Others clung to life, eyes vacant, lungs struggling to draw breath.Among them lay Gunther.Lord Venom stood frozen, his breath shallow. Gina stared in disbelief, her blade hanging loosely at her side. Dante and Ese felt their scalps go numb.A pre-divine grandmaster.Mo

Gunther’s heartbeat pounded in his ears.Adam’s strength was far beyond what he had calculated.Not slightly stronger. It was overwhelming.Ten times. A hundred times beyond what he had imagined.But he had already crossed the line.There was no retreat now.If Adam lived, he would die.Gunther’s eyes turned vicious.“Do not panic!” he roared, forcing steadiness into his voice. “Follow me! We kill him together!”He raised his longsword high.“Ten billion for each of you once he’s dead!”The promise slammed into the shaken crowd like a stimulant.Ten billion.Not a mere million.Not one billion.Ten.Even fear began to tremble under that weight.Gunther stepped forward, aura exploding outward. Killing intent surged from him in thick waves, pressing down on the hall like a storm front.The Elders and Gods of War remained frozen for a moment.They had just watched four grandmasters die without resistance.No one wanted to be next.But Gunther had already moved.If they stayed behind, the

“Such arrogance,” Gunther sneered. “Even now, you still act fearless. I will admit it. Your composure is impressive.”His eyes hardened.“Unfortunately, these will be your final words.”He lifted his arm and swept it downward.“All of you, listen carefully.” His voice echoed like a death sentence. “Kill the Supreme General and every one of his followers.”A pause.“For every kill, one million.”Murmurs rippled through the hall.“One billion for each grandmaster.”Breathing quickened.“One hundred billion for the Supreme General’s head.”The hall exploded.“And the one who kills him,” Gunther finished coldly, “will become Deputy Chief of Supreme Nexus.”Greed ignited instantly.Eyes burned red as they locked onto Adam.A hundred billion was not just wealth. It was power. Influence. A lifetime of dominance. Combined with the title of Deputy Chief, it was enough to make anyone lose their mind.Reason vanished.Fear vanished.Only desire remained.Lord Venom’s expression tightened. Gina’s
