Rise Of The Supreme General CHAPTER 24
The air was thick with anticipation as they all read the email together. "I'm willing to forgive you for the humiliation your son caused me. But for that I'll want you and your entire family to apologize to me publicly, through a broadcast and maybe I can give you back the contract. Or else consider yourself my enemy! And you know what that means. I'll come to your house in the next two hours, arrange the broadcast."The message struck their hearts with terror, but also was a glimpse of hope, at least Mr. Manchester was willing to forgive them, they still have a chance.“This is a huge request, we can't afford such humiliation upon our Family.” Elena said in disagreement."What do we do father?" Jerry asked. Everyone looked at Mr. Penthouse he has the final say."There's nothing else to do. Everyone get ready, we only have two hours to arrange ourselves. Mr. Manchester will be here soon. And Jerry, call as many broadcasters as you can." Mr. Penthouse ordered, his hands shaking.Drake
Rise Of The Supreme General CHAPTER 25
The Penthouse family had all prepared themselves, they all waited outside with seven broadcasters ready to go live, the News were already out as Mr. Manchester had instructed them to make it public.The family were embarrassed, this was the biggest form of embarrassment in their lives, but they didn't think of it much, since they were apologizing to Mr. Manchester and not some commoner, it was rather seen as an honor.A taxi stopped right at their mansion, immediately the broadcast started with thousands of viewers already. The Penthouses were a little confused, they expected an entourage escorting Mr. Manchester to their mansion.Suddenly the driver's seat of the taxi opened as Adam stepped out.Everyone's faces were flushed with anger and confusion."You?" "Good you all keep to the time." Adam smiled faintly."What are you doing here!?" Drake asked bitterly."What else, I came for the apology."The viewers had skyrocketed to a million, after hearing the Heir of the Penthouse insult
Rise Of The Supreme General CHAPTER 26
“Has Mr. Penthouse lost his mind?” “How can he bow to someone as worthless as Adam?” “What’s this about a red sheet?” The room was thick with confusion and disbelief as Racheal stared at the television, the rest of the Penthouse family mirrored her shock. Was Adam employing dark magic? Or had he uncovered some damning secret? --- The Penthouse family bowed in unison, except for Drake, whose defiant gaze was locked onto Adam. He would never stoop to the level of a man like Adam. "Are you deaf?" Adam sneered, his voice dripping with contempt. "Join your family and show some respect!" “In your wildest dreams, loser! I’ll never bow to you. You’re playing mind games with my family, but I won’t be fooled!” Drake shot back, his jaw clenched in defiance. Mr. Penthouse's face drained of color, his eyes darting between Drake and Adam, pleading for his son to comply. One wrong move could spell disaster for them all. “Mr. Penthouse, I was going to show some mercy to your family, but your
Rise Of The Supreme General CHAPTER 27
As Mr. Penthouse continued the brutal punishment, sweat glistened on his brow, and he fought to keep his breath steady. Drake’s face was now a canvas of bruises and blood. But Mr. Penthouse couldn’t stop; it was the only way to save his family's lineage. “Fifty more!” Adam called out, relishing the sight of Drake’s humiliation. “You’re halfway there, Mr. Penthouse! Let him feel every ounce of shame he’s brought upon your family!” Drake’s spirit wavered with each blow, his defiance crumbling under the weight of his father’s fury. The once proud man now found himself gasping for breath, tears of pain and humiliation stinging his eyes. “Still think you’re untouchable, Drake?” Adam taunted, watching the scene with sadistic glee. “You brought this on yourself. You chose to defy me.” As the punches continued, the atmosphere thickened with tension. Each hit pushed Drake closer to his breaking point, his dignity shattered beyond repair. With the final ten punches approaching, Mr. Penthous

Monica’s temper ignited. “That bastard! How could he demand something so outrageous?” she hissed, her voice dripping with fury. The entire Penthouse family exchanged uneasy glances. They knew exactly what Adam was asking for: The Golden Lounge—the crown jewel of Almond City, valued at over $500 million. Handing it over to someone like Adam wasn’t just humiliating; it was financial suicide. Mr. Penthouse swallowed hard, forcing himself to speak carefully, masking his growing panic. “Mr. Adam, please... this is too much. Surely there’s something else you’d accept?” For a brief moment, silence blanketed the room—until Jerry, who had been holding his tongue throughout the ordeal, could no longer contain himself. “We can’t give you the Golden Lounge!” he snapped, frustration boiling over. “That suite is worth hundreds of millions! It’s not just our pride—it’s the backbone of our entire income!” He glared at Adam, fists clenched. At first, Jerry had enjoyed watching Adam torment Drak
Rise Of The Supreme General CHAPTER 29
The guard’s nostrils flared, his knuckles whitening as his hand clenched into a fist. For a second, it looked like he might swing, but he hesitated—years of training keeping him in check. This was the Golden Lounge. One wrong move, and they'd be out faster than a dropped badge. "Get lost before I put you in the hospital," the other guard threatened, voice low and dangerous. Adam leaned closer, unfazed. "You still don’t know who you’re dealing with. But trust me—you will, and you’ll regret every word." The shouting escalated, tension thick in the air. Their commotion echoed through the lobby, catching the secretary’s attention. In a flurry, she hurried toward them, heels clicking on the polished floor. The sharp clack of heels grew louder as a slender woman with sharp features and a no-nonsense expression approached. Her name tag read Vanessa. She crossed her arms as she reached the guards, her cold gaze flickering to Adam. "What’s going on here?" she demanded, her tone sharp
Rise Of The Supreme General CHAPTER 30
Jerry shifted uneasily on his feet, stealing a glance at Adam, who remained calm as ever. Clearing his throat, Jerry lowered his voice. “Sir... Do you want me to punish them? I’ll handle it however you see fit.” His hands were clasped in front of him respectfully, his tone full of caution. After witnessing what Adam did to his brother, Drake, Jerry knew better than to push his luck with this man.Adam didn’t answer right away, letting the weight of silence hang in the air just long enough to make Jerry sweat. Finally, Adam flicked a glance toward the guards, who stood frozen, faces pale with regret. “Get them out of here,” Adam said quietly, but with enough force to make the command feel like a hammer dropping. “And make sure they leave without a cent. No salary, no severance. Nothing.”The guards’ faces drained of color as the reality of Adam’s words hit them like a punch to the gut. They wanted to argue, to plead their case, but one look at Jerry told them it would be pointless.Van
Rise Of The Supreme General CHAPTER 31
Adam was stretched out in the penthouse lounge, eyes half-closed, relaxing after the smooth massage from Vanessa.Then his phone buzzed. He grabbed it from the table without hesitation.“Lord Adam,” a voice greeted him. It was Stacey.“I’ve found a clue on what you’re looking for. The amulet.”Adam sat up instantly, his mood shifting. “I’m on my way,” he said.He slipped the phone into his pocket.On the way to his car, he spotted an SUV pulling up too close for comfort. His brow furrowed when he recognized it—the Odias. Monica, his ex-mother-in-law, stepped out first, her expression dripping with disdain. Robin, her son, followed right after, grinning like he had already won something.Adam’s shoulders stiffened. This was the last thing he needed today.“Well, well,” Monica started, folding her arms. “Look who’s still crawling around the city like some stray dog.”Adam stayed silent, locking eyes with her, waiting.Robin sneered. “You know why we’re here, Adam. Where’s the ten millio

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
Chapter 209
“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
