“That’s right. Young Master Luke specially prepared this mansion just for you. There isn’t another place like it on the entire island.”“It perfectly matches your esteemed status.”“We’re sure you’ll be very satisfied.”The men exchanged mocking glances and chuckled among themselves.Not one of them took Adam seriously.They had heard of his reputation.They knew he had defeated Flynn York.But so what?This was Cosmic Island.The territory of the hidden families.No matter how powerful Adam was, he was merely an outsider here.And outsiders had no right to challenge the rulers of Cosmic Island.A cold light flashed through Adam’s eyes.For a brief moment, murderous intent surged within him.However, he quickly suppressed it.Now was not the time.The Sanders family’s situation remained unclear, and acting rashly would only alert his enemies.“Very well,” Adam said calmly.“You may leave. I need to rest.”“Of course.”The group turned around and began walking away.After a few steps,

After a day of sailing, the ship finally arrived at Cosmic Island.As Adam stepped out of the cabin, he was greeted by the sight of the setting sun hanging over the horizon. The crimson glow painted the sky red, reflecting beautifully across the endless sea.It was a breathtaking sight.Unfortunately, Adam wasn’t in the mood to appreciate it.His thoughts were entirely occupied by the Sanders family and his mother.The moment the ship docked, practitioners from all over began disembarking.Compared to the previous auction, there were far fewer people this time. Every passenger onboard was a martial artist or cultivator, making the atmosphere noticeably different.As soon as Adam stepped onto the dock, several men approached him.“Greetings, Mr. Manchester,” the leader said respectfully. “We have been instructed to escort you to your residence. Please come with us.”Adam immediately understood their true purpose.Escort?More like surveillance.These people had clearly been waiting spe

Adam didn’t take Lucian’s threat to heart, nor did he bother provoking him any further.To him, Lucian was merely a clown barking from a distance.His true concern lay elsewhere.Cosmic Island.Ever since learning that his mother’s disappearance was connected to that mysterious place, Adam had felt an increasing sense of urgency. Every clue he uncovered pointed in the same direction, as though an invisible hand was drawing him toward the island.As for the Jago family…A cold glint flashed through his eyes.There would be time to settle accounts with them later.For now, uncovering the truth took priority.The massive cruise ship cut through the ocean waves, heading toward the legendary island hidden from the outside world. Standing at the deck railing, Adam gazed toward the distant horizon.Beside him, Whitney remained silent.Although she appeared calm on the surface, her heart was anything but peaceful.The more she learned about Adam, the more mysterious he seemed.He was a master

Adam turned to Lucian with the same unhurried ease and tilted his head slightly.“They say a married daughter is no longer family,” he said, loud enough to carry. “Your daughter has already been with me, and here she is defending me in front of a crowd. At this rate, you might be calling me son-in-law sooner than you think.”The laughter from the onlookers hit like a wave.Lucian’s control, already stretched thin, snapped entirely. He swung at Adam with the full weight of his killing intent behind it — no restraint, no calculation, just the raw response of a man who had run out of patience and didn’t care what came next.This time Sasha didn’t move to stop him.She stood where she was, her hands at her sides, her expression past the point of management. Adam had just broadcast the most private details of her life to a crowd of strangers on a public dock. Whatever consequences followed, she had stopped caring about them. She wanted him dead. She wanted it simply and completely, the way

The killing intent rolling off Lucian was not subtle. It pressed outward like a physical force, dropping the temperature of the air around them by degrees. The people nearby felt it hit them in the chest — that particular cold that had nothing to do with weather, the kind that reached past the body and touched something more primal. Several stepped back without consciously deciding to.Adam’s expression settled into something harder and more attentive. He had assessed Lucian before, back when the gap between them meant he had reason to be careful. That gap no longer existed. Lucian was formidable — genuinely so, operating at a level that put him within reach of Cosmic Island’s four family heads, well beyond what most divine grandmasters could claim. He was not someone to dismiss.He was also not someone Adam feared anymore.“If you want to try, go ahead,” Adam said, holding Lucian’s gaze without shifting. No posturing in it, no performance. Just a statement of fact from someone who ha
Chapter 726
The day before his departure, a letter arrived.Adam turned it over once, then broke the seal. Inside was a wedding invitation, printed on heavy paper with the formal precision of something that had been designed to be taken seriously.Groom: Luke Lennon. Bride: Leah Sanders.He read it twice.Leah Sanders — the eldest daughter of the Sanders family of Cosmic Island, his fiancée by arrangement, a woman who had made no secret of her feelings toward him — was marrying Luke Lennon. Son of the Lennon family, one of Cosmic Island’s four most powerful houses.The shock lasted only a moment before his mind moved past it and into the question underneath. Leah was not a woman who changed her mind quietly or without cause. She had pursued this engagement with a directness that left little room for ambiguity. For her to be standing at an altar with someone else two days from now meant something had happened on Cosmic Island — something significant enough to override everything that had come befo
