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

    Lazarus swallowed his pride and forced himself forward, step by heavy step, toward Adam’s guest room. Each pace felt like a blade scraping against his dignity. He could only pray that the old healer had finished what he promised.If Adam failed him now, Lazarus didn’t even want to imagine the consequences.Inside the room, Adam remained seated cross-legged, completely immersed in cultivation. Having stepped back into the Divine Realm, his body felt reborn. Without wasting a single moment, he began refining the techniques of the Second Transformation.The difference was immediate.The spiritual energy in the air rushed toward him like a raging tide, far faster and denser than before his breakthrough. It poured into his meridians, roaring through his limbs, bones, and organs with terrifying efficiency.With every breath, his foundation stabilized further.Adam guided the energy with flawless control, circulating it through a complete cycle of his cultivation technique. Only after the fi

    Romeo’s expression turned openly disdainful.“Don’t insult me by trying to brush me off with those mediocre women,” he said coldly. “I don’t touch leftovers that anyone can have.”He leaned back slightly, his eyes narrowing with naked greed.“Let me make this very clear, Mr. Marlowe. Your daughter is mine. Whether you agree or not is completely irrelevant.”Lazarus slammed his palm against the armrest and stood up abruptly.“Mr. Trey, you’re crossing a line!” he roared, his eyes blazing with fury.Romeo merely chuckled, his gaze filled with contempt.“Crossing a line?” he repeated mockingly. “You should consider yourself fortunate that I’m still speaking to you politely. If you truly anger me, you know very well what will happen to the Marlowe family.”Lazarus’s fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. His entire body trembled with restrained rage. At that moment, he truly wished he could kill Romeo with a single strike.But reality was cruel.The Marlowe family might

    Whitney's clothes fell to the floor, unveiling a stunning sight. Even with strong self-control, Adam couldn't help but gulp. Whitney's figure far exceeded his expectations.She had smooth, pale skin as soft as a baby's, and her body was perfectly proportioned.Her long eyelashes, high nose, and glossy red lips were irresistibly enticing. With her slender waist and long, shapely legs, she exuded allure.Adam 's mouth went dry, and his blood boiled. Like a hungry wolf, he eagerly indulged in her...Adam took complete control. Simultaneously, his body underwent a transformation as he absorbed the purely passive energy from Whitney's spiritual body.His spiritual energy included both active and passive elements, but it leaned toward the active side due to his male nature. However, the influx of passive energy from Whitney restored a natural balance within his system.This balance enabled his breakthrough. The spiritual energy in his core sped up, creating a vortex that pulled in with a

    But Adam was in no hurry.He stood beside the bed for a long moment, his expression unreadable, as if weighing something heavy in his heart. With deliberate restraint, he lifted only the edge of her dress enough to confirm her condition, his touch brief and controlled, devoid of indulgence. A faint ripple of spiritual energy flowed from his palm, sinking into her body like a warm current.Moments later, the effects of the sedative were forced out.Whitney’s eyelashes fluttered. Her brows knitted together as confusion crossed her face. Then her eyes snapped open.She froze.The unfamiliar room. The bed beneath her. Adam standing a short distance away.Her breath hitched. She scrambled backward until her back hit the headboard, panic flashing in her eyes. “How did I get here?” she demanded. “What did you do to me?”Adam took a step back, deliberately widening the distance between them. “Relax. I didn’t touch you in the way you’re thinking,” he said calmly. “You were drugged. Your father

    Lazarus let out a long breath and said gravely, “Whitney, let’s put aside whether he has truly exhausted his vitality or not. One thing is undeniable—his medical skills are extraordinary. You can’t deny that.”Whitney clenched her fists. She wanted to refute him, to tear his argument apart, but the words caught in her throat. A single pill curing terminal cancer was nothing short of a miracle. Even Ezekiel, the legendary physician revered across the continent, had never accomplished something so outrageous.Seeing her fall silent, Lazarus pressed on. “That old man may truly be capable of curing your brother. This could be our only chance. If we miss it, Julian’s future—and the future of the Marlowe family—will be destroyed. So why don’t you—”“Enough!” Whitney cut him off sharply, her voice shaking with anger. “So in the end, you want to sacrifice me?”Her eyes reddened as she stared at her father. “Is that it?”Lazarus’s expression hardened. “Whitney, this is an unfortunate necessity

    “Rest assured, Mr. Lazarus,” Adam said calmly, his voice steady though his face still carried a trace of fatigue. “As long as I can recover my vitality, repairing your son’s condition will not be a problem. However…” He paused briefly, then added meaningfully, “I am concerned that Ms. Marlowe may not be willing to cooperate.”Lazarus’s eyes flickered, but his tone remained firm. “That’s not something you need to worry about. I’ll handle it myself.” He rose to his feet and said decisively, “I’ll have her come to you tonight.”With that, he turned and left, Julian following close behind, his expression filled with barely concealed hope and impatience.⸻Whitney was seated in the living room of the Marlowe residence, idly scrolling through her phone when a servant informed her that Lazarus wanted to see her immediately. Sensing something unusual, she stood up and headed over at once.“Dad,” she said as she approached him, her brows knitting together. “You called me over so urgently. Did
