“Why are you two here?” Tessa was surprised. She’d only encountered Stacey when she first woke up, and she hadn’t informed her family about her whereabouts.

Eleanor raised an eyebrow. “Did you forget that the Armand family holds shares in this hospital? The dean notified us as soon as he found out you were admitted. He mentioned you were drugged. Are you alright?”

Tessa shook her head, brushing it off. “I’m fine, Mom. But Adam… he had both his legs broken.”

Eleanor cast a disdainful look at Ada

    Adam let out a cold sneer.“I’ve always believed that the ends justify the means. As long as I achieve my goal, a little underhandedness is hardly worth worrying about.”“Very well said, Mr. Brad!” Francis praised immediately, his face lighting up with admiration.The moment he learned that Brad had advanced to the middle stage of the Divine Grandmaster Realm, his attitude changed completely. The polite respect he had shown earlier was replaced by outright flattery, his every word and expression filled with the eagerness to curry favor.Only cultivators who had stepped into the Divine Realm truly understood how difficult it was to advance even a single stage beyond it.Francis himself had been trapped at the early stage of the Divine Grandmaster Realm for more than ten years, unable to make the slightest breakthrough despite exhausting every method available to him. His own experience made him appreciate just how extraordinary such an achievement truly was.Across the entirety of Cosm

    Bruce remained lying in the corner of the cell, completely silent and motionless, like a lifeless corpse discarded in the darkness. Only the faint rise and fall of his chest and his shallow, uneven breathing proved that he was still alive.Francis glanced at him with open disdain before turning to Adam. “Look at him,” he said with a helpless shrug. “Whenever he opens his mouth, all he does is curse us. Other times, he refuses to say a single word. We’ve tried everything, even torture, but it hasn’t changed a thing. I doubt you’ll get anything out of him.”“Maybe,” Adam replied with an unconcerned smile, “but I’d still like to give it a try.”He slowly stepped closer to the iron bars, his gaze fixed on the battered figure in the corner.“Bruce,” he called calmly, “I’m only here to have a conversation. But if you insist on remaining silent…” He paused deliberately before his voice turned cold. “…then don’t blame me for what happens to your daughter.”The moment those words left his mout

    “I’m facing some hurdles in my cultivation,” Adam explained with practiced calm. “I thought perhaps a conversation with him might give me a different perspective.”Francis looked at him in confusion, his brows knitting together. “Wouldn’t it make more sense to seek guidance from your own family’s Elders? Bruce despises us now. Why would he be willing to help you with anything?”Adam merely smiled, maintaining the composed demeanor expected of Brad. “Sometimes a person’s circumstances can change their outlook. If I approach him the right way, he may be willing to share something useful. But if it’s inconvenient, then forget I mentioned it.”“No, not at all.” Francis waved his hand dismissively before rising from his seat. “Since you’ve asked, I’ll take you to him personally.”Francis had only become the Sanders family’s patriarch because of the Lennon family’s support. Maintaining a good relationship with their Elders was in his best interest, and denying such a simple request would ac

    Francis remained completely unaware that the man sitting before him was an impostor.The real Brad rarely showed himself in public. Most of his days were spent in secluded cultivation, emerging only on rare occasions. Because of this, very few people truly knew him well enough to notice anything unusual.Inside the hall, Adam quietly observed everyone present.Besides Francis, there was Jake Sanders, Francis’ son. Although Jake appeared calm on the surface, his eyes revealed a sharp and calculating nature.Seated nearby was Ian Sanders, the most influential figure in the Sanders family after Bruce. He was Bruce’s uncle and Francis’ elder uncle, a supreme grandmaster whose strength was respected throughout Cosmic Island.There was also Vera Lennon.She was in her early twenties and possessed striking beauty along with an aristocratic temperament. As Luke Lennon’s younger sister and one of the Lennons’ most favored descendants, her status was extraordinarily high.The moment Adam entere

    “How dare you question me?”Adam’s eyes narrowed as he glared at the guard.The pressure of a Divine Realm expert leaked from his body, causing the surrounding guards to instinctively lower their heads.“What I do is none of your concern.”“Remain here and continue carrying out your duties.”“If anything happens, I’ll personally bear the responsibility.”His voice was cold and authoritative.The guard’s face immediately turned pale.“I-I understand, Elder Brad.”The others didn’t dare say another word.Although Brad was only the Eleventh Elder of the Lennon family, his status was far above theirs.Questioning an Elder’s decision was already a serious offense.“Hmph!”Adam let out a cold snort before turning around and leaving.The guards watched his departing figure until he disappeared into the darkness.Only then did they finally relax.None of them noticed anything unusual.After all, who would imagine that the man they had just spoken to was actually Adam Manchester?Moving throug

    “Everything is fine. Stay at your posts and don’t wander around.”Adam deliberately lowered his voice as he spoke.The tone, mannerisms, and even the slight arrogance in his speech were almost identical to Brad’s.Although not absolutely perfect, it was convincing enough to fool the guards outside.“Understood, Elder Brad!”The men immediately relaxed.None of them suspected anything.Inside the pigsty, Brad’s lifeless body lay on the ground, his eyes still wide open.Even in death, his face remained frozen in shock and terror.He never imagined that a young outsider would kill him so effortlessly.Nor had he imagined that he would die on Cosmic Island itself.Adam looked down at the corpse expressionlessly.Then he crouched beside it and searched through Brad’s belongings.He quickly found a small storage pouch, several identity tokens, and a few personal items.Among them was a special skin-like material.A smile appeared on Adam’s face.As the former Supreme General, disguise and i
