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 un

    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

    Tessa’s hands were trembling.She did not understand realms, cultivation levels, or what it truly meant to be a pre-divine grandmaster. But she could read faces. She could hear tone.And from the way the Elders were speaking, from the way even Lord Venom and Gina had grown tense, she knew one thing.Gunther was terrifyingly strong.Her eyes locked onto Adam.He looked calm.Too calm.“Adam…” Her voice shook despite her effort to steady it. “Please leave.”Tears welled up again, but she forced herself to continue.“Today is… supposed to be a celebration. A wedding. Please don’t turn it into a battlefield. I’m begging you. Just go.”Gunther’s expression darkened instantly.“Tessa.” His voice cut through the hall like a blade. “Know your place.”The warmth in his earlier tone was gone.“You are mine. Do not interfere in matters between men.”He stepped forward slightly, his aura pressing outward.“Now that he has walked in here, he will not be walking out.”Tessa turned quickly to Gunthe

    Adam looked at Yale for a long moment.Then he let out a faint, bitter smile.“I pulled you out of a battlefield drenched in blood. You were half dead. I carried you on my back for three miles. I broke three enemy lines to get you out alive. After that, I personally trained you. I cleared your meridians. I pushed you into the realm of a God of War.”His voice did not rise.“And today, this is how you repay me. Tell me something, Yale. Do you even have a conscience left?”A shadow crossed Yale’s face.For a split second, guilt surfaced.Then pride swallowed it.“It’s because you saved me that I’m telling you this!” Yale shot back. “I am giving you a way out. If I wanted you dead, I would say nothing. Surrender. Live. That is my repayment.”Adam shook his head slowly.The mockery in his eyes was sharp.“Listen carefully,” he said, his voice carrying across the hall without force. “All of you who chose the wrong side.”His gaze swept across the Elders and the gathered Gods of War.“You h

    Lord Venom strode to Adam’s right side and stood there like a wall.On the other side, Gina’s blade gleamed faintly.Venom lifted his arm and pointed straight at the cluster of Elders and Gods of War who had switched sides earlier.“And you lot,” he thundered. “Why are you still standing? On your knees. Now.”The accusation hit harder than any strike.The Elders stiffened.Some clenched their fists. Others avoided eye contact. A few instinctively took half a step back.They were trapped.They had already knelt to Gunther. Some had even sworn blood oaths. Turning now would make them double traitors. If Gunther won, they would not just die. They would suffer.But if they refused and Adam reclaimed his throne, their fate would be worse.Sweat rolled down foreheads that had not known fear in decades.They glanced at one another, silently calculating.Who would move first?No one wanted to be the example.Their strength was not trivial. Between them were dozens of grandmasters. The balance

    The hall went silent.The only sound left was the uneven rhythm of people trying to breathe.Judas’ body lay twisted on the stone floor, eyes wide, blood pooling beneath him. A single exhale. That was all it had taken.One breath.One life erased.No one moved.Mouths hung open. Faces drained of color. Even the battle-hardened Gods of War stared as if the world had cracked open in front of them.Gunther stood frozen at the top of the steps.For the first time since seizing control, the confidence on his face was gone.His lips parted slightly, his expression stiff, as if he had swallowed something too large to process.The man in the trench coat flicked ash from his cigarette.The soft tap of ash hitting the floor sounded louder than a thunderclap.Then he removed his sunglasses.Gasps spread through the hall.“Gunther.” His voice was calm, almost bored. “Didn’t expect to see me again so soon, did you?”As he spoke, two men hurried forward, carrying a carved chair from the side of the
