Stacey brought a mixture of milk and honey, slowly pouring it into Philip’s mouth. He struggled, choking on the sweet liquid, but they forced him to swallow it. His stomach churned with the mixture, and soon it dripped from his mouth, coating his body in a sticky mess.

The honey attracted flies, beetles, and other insects from the forest, which began to crawl across his skin. They clustered at his mouth, eyes, and nose, eager for the sugary coating on his body.

---

Hours passed, and the real torment began.

Philip groaned, his body bloated from the milk and honey mixture, his bowels betraying him. He was left to lie in his own filth, unable to move. The stench of excrement mixed with the honey, attracting even more insects. Flies and maggots burrowed into his flesh, feeding on his decaying skin.

As the hours stretched into days, the insects began to crawl into his eyes, nostrils, and ears. Philip screamed in agony, but no one came to help. His cries only served to attract more scavenge

    It didn’t take long before the police discovered his body. News of Philip's gruesome death spread rapidly throughout the city, creating waves of fear and speculation.No one knew how he had died, except for the chilling letter left on his corpse. The message was simple but terrifying: "Punished by the Supreme General."In the law of Coastal Flair, offending the Supreme General was the greatest crime, and punishment was absolute.---The Odias saw the news, and terror gripped them. Mr. Luther, Monica, Rhea, and Robin exchanged uneasy glances. Why would the Supreme General get involved?Though unsettled by Philip’s death, they still clung to one hope—that Adam would be rotting in jail before anything worse could happen.---Several days passed. Adam was sitting in the luxury of his penthouse when Mr. White entered, holding a letter.“This just arrived, sir,” Mr. White said, handing it to Adam. "It's from Doctor Norman Hemsworth."Adam’s eyes narrowed as he read the letter. The name stir

    As Adam walked deeper into the hall, the crowd grew quiet, their whispers loud enough to feel like static. Everyone watched him with scorn and disbelief. They knew Adam’s reputation—a former prisoner, a disgrace.Suddenly, Dr. Norman Hemsworth stormed over, his face twisted in fury.“You!” Norman spat. “What do you think you’re doing here?”Adam gave a sly smirk. “I thought it was obvious. I’m here for the party.”Norman’s voice sharpened. “I didn’t invite you. Get out, now.”Adam raised an eyebrow, playing with the edge of his suit sleeve. “Actually… you did.”Norman scowled, confused. “What nonsense is this?”Adam smiled coldly. “You invited Mr. Manchester to your big celebration. Here I am.”Norman’s jaw dropped as the realization hit him. “You? You’re Mr. Manchester? How dare you impersonate my honored guest?”The Odias froze for a second, shocked. Then Racheal scoffed, “How dare a guy like you claim to be Mr. Manchester, do you have a death wish?.”Monica sneered, stepping forwar

    Robin’s grin vanished. “What the...?”The remaining guards hesitated, glancing at each other, unsure of what just happened.Damian barked, “Get him! All of you!”Two guards rushed at once, but Adam spun, landing a kick that sent one sprawling and a punch that floored the other.Within seconds, all seven guards were writhing on the floor, groaning in pain.---Silence fell over the hall. The guests were frozen, staring at the scene in disbelief. No one had expected this.Racheal’s mouth hung open. “What… how did...?”Robin stumbled back, his face pale. “That’s impossible…”Monica clutched Mr. Luther’s arm. “He... he took down all of them?”---Adam calmly sat back down, picked up his wine glass, and took another sip.He looked at Damian, who stood frozen with fear. “Any more guards?”Damian stammered, “You…bastard!”Adam smirked. “Thought so.”Robin clenched his fists. “You’ll pay for this.”Adam chuckled. “I think I’ve already paid. Remember?”The Odias stood there, seething with rage

    Norman was seething, his face red with fury. "You think you’re untouchable? You think you can just walk in here and do whatever you want?"Adam sipped his wine, unbothered. "That’s exactly what I’m doing."Norman’s hand clenched around his phone, veins pulsing at his temple. "Let’s see how smug you are after this."Rhea frowned, stepping forward slightly. "Mr. Norman, what are you doing?"Norman sneered, his lips curling. "I’m calling the one man even this scum won’t dare to cross."Monica’s face lit up with wicked glee, her eyes sparkling. "Who is it?"Norman pressed a few buttons and brought the phone to his ear, his expression full of twisted triumph. "The Destroyer."---The room buzzed with fear, whispers rippling through the crowd."The Destroyer?" someone muttered in disbelief. "He’s really calling him?""We’re about to see this fool get torn to pieces," Robin said, his grin growing wider by the second.Racheal crossed her arms, glaring at Adam like he was already six feet unde

    The Destroyer cracked his neck, a predatory grin spreading across his scarred face. "You must be the idiot everyone’s talking about."Adam didn’t flinch, his eyes steady and unwavering. "And you must be the circus act they sent to entertain me."A ripple of shock went through the crowd, Robin letting out a nervous chuckle. "He’s insane."Monica’s jaw dropped. "Does he have a death wish?"---The Destroyer’s grin vanished, replaced by a hard scowl. "You think you’re funny?"Adam’s smile never wavered. "I know I am."Norman hissed from the side, "You’re a dead man, Adam. You just don’t know it yet."Adam leaned back and stretched his arms, completely at ease. "That’s the thing about you amateurs. Always in a rush to make threats."The Destroyer’s fists clenched, his knuckles cracking ominously. "You’ve got guts, I’ll give you that. Too bad they’ll be all over the floor soon."Adam raised his glass in mock toast. "Good luck with that."The Destroyer’s men tensed, waiting for the order to

    The Destroyer remained on his knees, head bowed, his pride shattered beyond repair. His men stood frozen, unsure whether to move or wait for a command that would never come.The guests, once eager to witness Adam’s downfall, now stared in stunned silence. What they had expected to be a slaughter had turned into a humbling spectacle.Robin whispered under his breath, as if afraid to be heard. “This... this wasn’t supposed to happen...”Monica, still in shock, shook her head. “He was supposed to die…”Adam dusted off his suit, his gaze sweeping over the room filled with elites who had been sneering at him earlier. His smirk deepened, and he set his wine glass down.Adam’s voice was low, but it carried a dangerous weight. “Kneel.”The guests stared at him, stunned.Robin sneered. “You think you can make us kneel?”Norman scowled. “This isn’t your house, you arrogant punk.”Monica folded her arms. “You’re out of your mind if you think we’d kneel to you.”Adam didn’t flinch. His eyes flick

    Monica’s face paled. “W-What?”Robin stepped forward, horrified. “You can’t be serious!”Monica’s voice shook with rage. “You wouldn’t dare!”Adam leaned forward, resting his chin on his hand. “Oh, I dare. And since you insisted on the idea yourself, I think it’s only fair.”Racheal gasped, trying to intervene. “Adam, you can’t do this!”Mr. Luther snarled. “You’ve gone too far, you bastard!”---The Destroyer’s men stepped forward, grabbing Monica by the arms.Monica screamed, struggling wildly. “Let me go! You’re all insane!”Robin pleaded, “Adam, please—don’t do this! This is cruel!”Monica’s furious protests quickly turned to terrified wails as she was dragged toward the restroom.---“Stop! Please!” Monica begged, tears streaming down her face. “Adam, I swear, I’ll never insult you again!”Adam smiled coldly. “Too late.”Racheal’s voice cracked with anger. “Adam, you’ll pay for this! I swear, I’ll make you suffer!”Adam shrugged, sipping his wine. “You should thank me. I’m just t

    Norman glared at him, his voice trembling with rage. “You’ll regret this, Adam! You’ll regret everything!”Adam smirked one last time. “That’s the third time someone said that tonight. Let me know when it happens.”With that, he turned and walked out of the hall, Stacey following close behind.The Destroyer barked at the guests. “No one gets up until dawn! You heard him!”The room was filled with quiet sobs and whispers of curses, but no one dared rise.Adam’s laughter echoed faintly as he disappeared into the night, leaving behind a room full of broken pride and shattered egos.The next morning, the guests shuffled out of Zeus Hall at the crack of dawn, their bodies aching from the long, humiliating night. Some limped, others leaned on each other for support, faces pale with exhaustion. Rhea muttered angrily under her breath, rubbing her sore knees.Rhea: "That bastard… he’ll pay for this."Robin, wincing as he adjusted his sling: "Can’t believe he made us kneel till morning. I swear

    Tristan strode confidently into the grand hall, flanked by the elite Storm City Defenders. His presence was magnetic, exuding authority that commanded immediate attention. Wherever he went, the crowd instinctively parted, their heads lowering in deference. The weight of his reputation hung heavy in the air, and the expressions on their faces were a mixture of fear and deep respect. “Mr. Tristan!” Gerald Armand, the host of the event, wasted no time. He hurriedly approached Tristan, his two children following close behind. Gerald’s demeanor was ingratiating, almost desperate, as he extended his hand in greeting. His smile was forced, his intent clear—to curry favor with one of the most influential figures in Storm City. After all, the man standing before him wasn’t just anyone. Tristan was one of Lord Chaosbreaker’s trusted lieutenants. Even at the height of their power, the Armand family wouldn’t have dared to cross someone from Lord Chaosbreaker’s circle. Doing so was tantamount t

    “What do you mean? Mr. Monday was just pulling my leg,” Samuel said with a confident grin, trying to reclaim the narrative.Adam didn’t flinch. “I’ve won. Get down on your knees now and call me Uncle,” he demanded straightforwardly.Samuel sneered. “As I’ve already explained, Mr. Monday was joking with me. I was never fired, so there was no reinstatement. By that logic, you’ve lost.”Eleanor chimed in with her usual disdain, “Mr. Samuel is absolutely correct. You’re just delusional. Do you really think you’re that powerful?”Adam shook his head slightly, disappointment flickering in his eyes. He couldn’t believe their ignorance. He had already proven his capabilities twice, yet they were quick to dismiss it as mere coincidence. He wondered if they were oblivious or simply too proud to admit defeat.Samuel stepped forward, his glare sharp and menacing. “Enough of this nonsense. I don’t have time for your childish games. After the event is over, you’re going to divorce Tessa immediately

She wasn’t concerned for him but for Brian. She knew Adam’s temper too well. He wasn’t going to let this slide. She'd witnessed how ruthless he gets when someone tries to mess with her. Brian, however, showed no sign of remorse. He crossed his arms, glaring at Adam with disdain. “What are you going to do, cripple?” he sneered. Adam’s voice was calm, but the threat in it was unmistakable. “Touch my woman again, and you’ll regret it.” Brian scoffed, puffing out his chest. “You think I’m scared of you? If you speak to me again, I’ll hit you too. I can do whatever I want and you can't do anything about it. you're just a cripple.” From the corner, Wendy chimed in, her tone filled with malice. “You’re pathetic, Adam. A useless man who doesn’t even belong here. Why don’t you just leave and save us all the trouble?” Ada
