The tension in the room was palpable, the Odia family stood their ground, defying Stacey’s command. The rest of the guests had already sunk to their knees, knowing better than to cross anyone with ties to the supreme general. But Mr. Luther, Monica, Rhea, and Robin glared at Stacey with stubborn pride, refusing to yield.“I will never kneel,” Monica hissed. “We know the general will clear this up when he arrives.”“And you’ll pay dearly for humiliating us,” Rhea added with a smug smirk. “Once he finds out how you’ve treated his future wife.”Adam leaned back slightly in his chair, a slow grin spreading across his face. "Is that so?” he whispered under his breath.Stacey’s expression darkened as her eyes burned with cold fury. “How dare you disobey a direct order?” she growled.“Punish them except for Racheal.” Adam gestured at Racheal, who was standing at a corner the whole time, she had been silent. Still traumatized by the incident with Adam.With a subtle motion of her hand, the he
Monica collapsed to the floor in disbelief. “No… no, this can’t be happening…” she whispered, her voice hollow."This can't be true... you're bluffing." Robin said in disbelief."The supreme general is dating my daughter. He wouldn't hurt her family." Mr. Luther said confidently.Rhea stared at Stacey with wide, tear-filled eyes. “You’re lying... you have to be lying...” she whimpered.Adam chuckled quietly. “It’s over. You gambled everything—and lost.”Monica kept silent this time, remembering the toilet water incident from the last time she opened her mouth. But Theresa, always proud and defiant, couldn’t hold back.“You’re a coward, Adam,” she hissed. “You think this makes you powerful? You’ll never be more than a lowlife thug in a fancy suit!”Adam turned to her with a slow, predatory smile. “Ah, Theresa. I almost forgot. You’re the only one left who hasn’t been punished.”He gave Stacey a nod. “Have her killed.”Theresa’s heart sank, and for the first time, true fear flashed in h
By nightfall, every door was shut to the Odias. They no longer had a single ally left in the city. When they woke the next morning, the government arrived with soldiers to enforce the eviction order. The Odias begged, pleaded, and cried, clinging desperately to the pillars of their mansion as the guards dragged them out like criminals. “This is our home! You can’t do this!” Luther bellowed, gripping the marble doorway as soldiers pried him loose. “We built this empire!” Monica wailed, clawing at the ground. “You can’t just throw us out!” Rhea was hysterical. “Wait! Wait! Call Mr. Manchester! He’ll fix this! He’ll vouch for me! I’m his mistress!” The guards ignored her. One soldier sneered, “Get out quietly, or we’ll drag you out.” As they were forcibly pulled from the mansion, the skies opened, and rain poured down, drenching the once-proud family in cold water. The city they once thrived had turned its back on them. They were nobodies now. Just as the guards were shoving the Od
Adam relaxed in the backseat, the city lights of Almond faded behind him, reflecting off the windows of the sleek black car. Stacey, sitting in the driver’s seat, glanced at him through the rearview mirror.“Where to next, boss?” she asked, a sly grin tugging at the corner of her mouth.Adam leaned back, adjusting his cufflinks with practiced ease. His gaze was calm but sharp, like a predator already plotting his next move. “Storm City,” he said, his voice low and deliberate. “It’s time to pay Viper a visit.”Stacey arched an eyebrow. “The Dead Skulls base? Wouldn't that be dangerous, we need to call back up.” Stacey suggested. Although she knew Adam was more than capable, she can't underestimate the Dead skull’s potential, they were ruthless warriors.Adam’s lips curled into a faint smile. “Not until I get what I came for—the amulet. Viper’s held onto it long enough. And no need for backups, we can take them in ourselves.”Stacey’s fingers drummed lightly on the steering wheel. “You
Adam and Stacey were led through the dimly lit, smoky interior of the bar, past tables cluttered with illegal goods and men eyeing them with suspicion. The air smelled of cheap alcohol, sweat, and gun oil—this was Viper’s territory, and everything about it reeked of danger.At the far end of the bar, a door opened into a private pool room, illuminated by low, neon-blue lights. Viper lounged in the shallow end of the pool, two beautiful women clinging to his arms, their bodies draped in skimpy swimsuits. His devilish grin widened the moment Adam entered.“Well, well… If it isn’t the supreme general himself,” Viper drawled, his voice slithering with malice. He waved a hand lazily, dismissing the two women, who slipped out of the pool with sultry looks and disappeared into the shadows. Viper leaned back on the pool’s edge, his tattooed chest glistening with water.Stacey stood close to Adam, her hand casually resting on the hilt of her blade, eyes scanning the room for threats. Adam, as
Stacey moved like lightning beside him. Her blade flashed through the air, severing hands, slashing throats, and dodging bullets with deadly precision. She fought with the precision of an assassin—every movement calculated, every strike lethal.A mercenary lunged at her with a shotgun, but she was already in motion. She twisted low, slashing through his knees, and before he could scream, she drove her blade through his throat. Blood sprayed across the room, but Stacey remained calm, unflinching.---Adam, meanwhile, was just getting warmed up. A hulking brute rushed him with a spiked club, grinning savagely. Adam merely smirked, waiting until the last second. Then, with a flicker of movement too fast to track, Adam's palm shot out like a cannon.BOOM!The impact blasted the man off his feet, sending him crashing through several tables, splinters flying everywhere. He didn’t get back up.A second later, three men surrounded Adam, all armed with knives. They closed in, grinning—until Ad
With a sharp whistle, Viper signaled toward the shadows at the far end of the room. Three figures emerged, their presence immediately filling the air with an oppressive aura. These weren’t ordinary fighters. Their steps were heavy with purpose, and their eyes carried the weight of countless battles.“These,” Viper said, gesturing to the trio, “are the ones you should really worry about. You’ve dealt with the riffraff. Now meet my real enforcers.”The men stepped forward, their eyes glowing faintly with power.“The Red Fang Brothers,” Viper continued with a smug grin. “Cultivators. Mid-tier. Not the highest in the food chain, but high enough that you’re not walking out of here alive.”Adam's sharp gaze assessed them. He could sense it instantly—these weren’t amateurs. Their cultivation was leagues above the grunts he had dismantled earlier. Each man radiated power, the kind that came from years of ruthless training. This wouldn’t be an easy fight.Stacey shot Adam a look. “These guys..
The moment Adam’s scream tore through the air, the entire room trembled. A shockwave of pure energy erupted from him, sending cracks spidering across the walls and shattering nearby bottles and glass. The ground quaked under his feet, and every light in the bar flickered violently. The aura around Adam became dense, suffocating, as if the very air bent to his will.The Red Fang Brothers staggered, momentarily stunned by the sheer pressure of Adam’s unleashed power. Even Viper raised an eyebrow, his devilish grin faltering for the first time. This wasn’t just any warrior standing before them—this was the Supreme General, a god of battle in human form.Before he agreed to face the supreme general, the information he received was: the supreme general is weakened after his last battle.But this—this is not what weakness is. This was sheer strength of a god. If this was his weakened State, just how powerful would he be in his prime?Adam rolled his neck slowly, his fists glowing faintly as
