“Let her in,” Ethan commanded, a trace of smug anticipation flashing in his eyes. As he spoke, he discreetly reached into his desk drawer, extracting two small pills. Swallowing them, he felt a sharp, invigorating kick—an artificial edge to mask his weakness. These pills were powerful drugs to help his manhood, a temporary fix with dangerous side effects if overused. But at this moment, Ethan didn’t care; his pride demanded it.

The assistant scurried out, and within moments, Tessa entered the office. She looked composed, but he could sense the tension radiating from her, as if she were a deer stepping into a lion’s den. She hesitated by the door, her gaze flickering uncertainly over him.

“Leave us,” Ethan directed to his assistant. “Close the door. No interruptions.”

The room fell silent as the assistant hurried out, leaving Tessa alone with him. Ethan leaned back, crossing his legs leisurely, eyeing her with a smug grin. “Ms. Armand, you finally grace me with your presence. I’ve invi

    “Mr. Blackwood, no, please!” Tessa gasped in horror, her voice trembling as she backed away from Ethan. Her heart pounded in her chest as she quickly assessed the situation, knowing she had to act fast. Fortunately, she had prepared for this moment. In a flash, she stood up, her mind racing, and grabbed the nearest object—a vase from a nearby table. Holding it tightly, she pointed it toward Ethan, her grip firm despite the fear coursing through her veins. “Don’t come any closer!” she warned, her voice shaky but resolute. Ethan’s expression darkened, and his eyes narrowed with fury. “Tessa, do you still want the money or not?” His voice was low and threatening. “Put the vase down, and let me have my way with you, or the Armand Group can kiss their business goodbye.” Tessa’s breath hitched at his words. The weight of the situation bore down on her as she tried to steady her shaking hands. She had no choice—her family’s survival depended on her making this deal. “I’ll do whatever you

    Wendy glared at Tessa, her anger seething as she pointed a trembling finger at her. "Grandpa sent you to please Mr. Blackwood, and what did you do? You didn’t just fail to cheer him up, but you’ve gone and ruined everything! You've even injured his... Do you realize what you've done? You're going to destroy all of us!" Tessa stood frozen, horrified by the harsh words and the cold stares from everyone in the room. Her heart pounded in her chest. "What are you trying to do, Tessa? What did you think would happen?!" Gerald’s voice boomed with fury. "Do you really want the company to go bankrupt just to get your way? Is that what this is all about?" The accusations kept coming. Every word, every harsh tone made her feel smaller, like the walls were closing in around her. They were all angry—furious at her failure, at her actions, and at the situation she had unknowingly walked into. "How could you be so reckless?" Wendy shouted, her voice sharp. "This isn’t just about you anymore, Tess

    Tessa’s eyes filled with concern. "Adam, please—" "No. We leave together," he said, his tone unyielding. But Tessa knew the danger. "They’re my family," she argued desperately. "I’ll be fine. Just go back to the hospital." Adam shook his head, a smirk tugging at his lips. "I’ve seen enough. These people don’t treat you like family, Tessa. You’re just a tool to them. You’ve always been just that." The tension in the room thickened as Adam turned his gaze to Gerald, his expression sharp and unforgiving. "I’m not leaving, Gerald. Not until you stop threatening my wife." Gerald’s patience snapped. His face contorted with anger as he coldly addressed Adam. "Considering the favors you’ve done for me in the past, I’ll let you go. But if you don’t leave now, don’t blame me for what comes next." Adam stood his ground, unwavering. "I’m not going anywhere. And if you keep pushing her, I’ll make sure you regret it." "Getting cocky, huh?" Henry barked, his fury growing by the second. "Someon

    "That's your word," Adam said, his voice light but laced with a hint of warning. "Don’t go back on it when things get tough." Henry scoffed, his eyes glinting with arrogance. "My word is ironclad. But this is your one shot, Adam. One billion dollars, or your arms get snapped." Tessa looked at Henry, then back at Adam, her brow furrowed. "Adam, what are you talking about? Where would you even get that kind of money?" She turned to Henry, trying to downplay the tension. "He's just joking, don’t take it seriously." But Henry's expression turned icy, his tone cutting through the air. "I’m not joking. I want proof of funds, now." Adam’s gaze remained steady. "I don’t have it on me right now," he replied, his calmness only increasing the tension. "Good," Henry said, his smile cold and cruel. "Then break his arms." "Wait, Henry, please," Tessa pleaded, her voice desperate. "You don’t need to do this. Let him go." "No!" Henry's voice was sharp, his eyes narrowing. "I haven’t forgotten e

    "This idiot actually thinks Mr. Blackwood will bring him money. What a joke," one of the Armand family members sneered. "You can’t even lie properly," another chimed in. "Mr. Blackwood would rather skin you alive. And you expect him to bring you money? Are you out of your mind?" The Armand family members laughed at Adam, seeing him as nothing more than a fool. Tessa, however, was on edge, her worry growing by the second. "Adam, this isn’t the time for jokes. Please, apologize to Henry and get him to let you go." Adam met her gaze, his expression serious. "Tessa, believe me, I have a way to get Ethan to send the money. I’m not lying." Tessa hesitated but nodded, sensing the sincerity in his voice. A glimmer of hope flickered in her chest. Wendy scoffed from the side. "I thought you were useless, but now I see you’re just a damn fool. And Tessa, you actually believe him? You really think Mr. Blackwood will come through for him?" Tessa knew it sounded far-fetched, but in this momen

    “Get lost!” Ethan barked, shoving Lucas aside. He had no patience to deal with him right now. His burning frustration was entirely focused on Adam.Turning to face Adam, Ethan’s eyes burned with anger. “Did you do this to me?” he growled, his voice low but menacing.Adam remained unfazed, his tone calm yet mocking. “It’s your fault for not being able to control yourself. What does that have to do with me?”“You!” Ethan’s face twisted with rage as he pointed a trembling finger at Adam. His anger boiled over, and he was sure now that Adam was behind his mysterious ailment. The man he’d looked down on, insulted, and even tried to harm had apparently found a way to retaliate.His mind raced. The humiliation of his condition and the audacity of Adam’s defiance made him want to lash out, but he held himself back. Striking Adam here, in front of the Armand family, would be beneath him.Adam’s confident smirk only fueled Ethan’s fury. “Relax,” Adam said, his tone dripping with mockery. “I can

    The sleek Maserati came to a halt, and the crowd’s curiosity reached its peak. The door swung open, and out stepped a striking woman in a sharp, tailored suit. Stacey Gold. The assistant to the Supreme General.Gasps rippled through the Armand family. What was she doing here? Why would someone of her stature associate with Adam?“Stacey Gold?” Henry blurted, his voice laced with disbelief. He stepped forward, trying to maintain composure. “This must be a misunderstanding. Surely, someone of your position has no business here. Let’s not waste your time on trivial matters.”Stacey didn’t even glance at him. Instead, she strode purposefully toward Adam, holding a thick stack of cash in her hands.Henry reached out, desperate to intercept her. “Ms. Gold, please, let’s talk—”The sharp crack of Stacey’s palm meeting his cheek echoed through the air, silencing him. Henry staggered back, clutching his face in shock.“Know your place,” Stacey said coldly. Her icy gaze bore into Henry, making

    Henry’s face twisted in disdain, his scornful gaze fixed on Adam. “You piece of trash, do you really think you’re worthy of making me regret anything? Know your place.”Adam’s calm demeanor remained unshaken. He turned to Ethan, his voice deliberate. “My ability to heal is directly influenced by my mood. The outcome depends entirely on how you handle this situation.”The words were subtle but carried weight. Ethan’s expression hardened as he processed Adam’s warning. Meanwhile, Adam shifted his gaze back to Henry, his eyes sharp and unyielding.Henry, for the first time, felt an uneasy chill run down his spine. Yet, he forced a laugh to mask his trepidation. “Mr. Blackwood, don’t fall for this nonsense!” he barked, pointing a trembling finger at Adam. “He’s nothing but a fraud! A good-for-nothing who knows how to do nothing but run his mouth. Don’t let him deceive you!”Ethan’s patience wore thin. His eyes narrowed as he barked coldly, “Beat him up!

    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.

    “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.

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.
