“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! Teach him a lesson he’ll never forg

    Ethan eyed Adam skeptically, searching for any hint of deceit. The audacity of Adam's calm demeanor made him hesitate. Was he bluffing, or did he truly possess the confidence to cure their mysterious ailment? Ethan exhaled heavily and crossed his arms.“Adam, don’t say I didn’t warn you,” Ethan began, his tone sharp. “If you dare trick us, you’ll refund every cent of that money—and you won’t stop there. We’ll make sure you regret it in ways you can’t imagine. Understand?”Adam met his gaze, unflinching. “I understand perfectly. Just follow the prescription as I’ve outlined it. The results will speak for themselves.”Ethan frowned but eventually gave a curt nod. After a short deliberation, he decided to try the prescription. He had little choice—this was their only shot at salvation.“Stacey, we’ll follow through,” Ethan muttered, still unsure. He glanced at his two bodyguards. “You two, stay here and keep an eye on him. Don’t let him out of your sight.”Stacey echoed his caution. “Mak

    Brenda looked at Tessa with a forced smile and said, “This is how it should be, Tessa. My attitude toward you wasn’t good before, but I was just worried about the company. I hope you can understand. I apologize.”“Tessa, I’d also like to apologize. I hope you can forgive me,” Gerald added as he stepped forward, trying to mask his discomfort.Tessa gave a slight nod, her expression unreadable. Despite the apologies, she couldn’t feel happy. She knew their words lacked sincerity. Their apologies were not for her but for the billion-dollar lifeline Adam had promised to save the company. The realization stung, leaving her feeling hollow rather than vindicated.“What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and apologize!” Gerald barked at Pamie and her family, who stood rooted in place, their faces etched with reluctance.“We’re sorry,” Pamie and her family mumbled half-heartedly, their words dripping with resentment.Adam’s eyes narrowed, and he snorted coldly. “You call that an apology?

    For three days, Mark and Ethan endured their bizarre and humiliating treatment, choking down three large glasses of urine daily. Each gulp was a reminder of their desperation to reverse their condition, and by the end, their spirits were as broken as their dignity.“I’m finally cured. No more of this nightmare,” Ethan said, tossing his glass onto the floor with a sense of triumph. The sound of it shattering felt like the breaking of his chains.Mark, equally relieved, let out a long breath. “It worked, but I swear, Adam’s going to pay for this. That bastard has humiliated us for the last time.”Ethan’s face darkened, his relief quickly giving way to anger. “You’re damn right. We need to make him suffer for what he put us through.”Mark leaned forward, a sinister grin spreading across his face. “We’ll use Tessa. She’s the perfect bait to get Adam where we want him. Henry’s on our side, so he can help us set up the trap.”Ethan’s eyes gleamed with malicious excitement, but his tone turn

    At precisely 7:00 p.m., Tessa arrived at the Golden Club, her heels clicking against the polished marble floors. The club, once notorious as the Darkclaw Club, had been a haven for the infamous Darkclaw Group, a criminal syndicate feared across the city. After their downfall, the property was purchased by one of their former enforcers, rebranded, and reopened under a seemingly respectable new name. Yet, the air of danger lingered, making Tessa uneasy as she approached the entrance.She hesitated before the imposing doors, flanked by two tall bodyguards wearing dark suits and sunglasses. One of them turned toward her, his voice curt and professional.“Are you Ms. Armand?”“Yes, I am,” Tessa replied, her tone steady despite the knot tightening in her stomach.“This way, please,” the guard said, pulling the door open with a smooth motion.As the door swung open, Tessa stepped inside, her breath catching in her throat. The luxurious room exuded opulence, but her gaze immediately locked on

    However, Tessa’s plea seemed to fuel their twisted amusement, their laughter growing louder.Ethan advanced, his eyes dark and predatory, like a wolf cornering its prey. “Why beg for him, Tessa? You’re here, aren’t you? Make yourself useful. Or better yet...” His gaze darkened with malice as an idea struck him.Mark’s smirk widened. “Wait, Ethan. I have a better idea. Why not call Adam? Let’s humiliate him too. Imagine the look on his face when he sees his wife being... entertained by us.”“That’s perfect!” Ethan exclaimed, pulling out his phone with an eager grin.Tessa’s heart sank further, panic tightening her chest. “Please, no!” she cried, stepping forward in desperation. “His legs are already broken. He’s been through enough. Whatever you want, take it out on me. Just don’t involve him!”Mark sneered. “Touching. But I’m afraid it doesn’t work like that.”Ethan tilted his head mockingly. “If you’re so concerned about him, maybe you can buy his safety. Strip for us. Give us a good

    Mark’s sneer deepened, his arrogance unchecked as he marched toward Adam. “You trash! You’re already halfway to the grave, and yet you still dare to act tough? Let me put you in your place. I’ll smash your mouth first!”Tessa stepped forward in panic, trying to shield Adam. “Stop it! Haven’t you done enough?”But Adam grasped her wrist gently, pulling her behind him. His voice was calm but firm. “Stay back, Tessa. I’ll handle this.”Mark’s lips curled into a malicious grin. “Handle this? Let’s see how you handle a broken jaw!” He raised his hand, his intent clear, and swung it forcefully toward Adam’s face.What happened next left everyone stunned. Adam didn’t flinch. Instead, his hand shot up with lightning speed, catching Mark’s wrist mid-swing.Mark froze, his expression twisted in disbelief. He tried to yank his hand free, using all his strength, but Adam’s grip was like an iron vice, unyielding. His arm trembled as he struggled, but it was no use.With a sharp, deliberate motion,

    Adam’s fists were still clenched, his knuckles white as he glared down at Brian, who was crumpled on the floor, clutching his side. The entire family remained silent, the tension so thick it was suffocating. Brian groaned, forcing himself to sit up, his swollen face twisted in pain. But even in his battered state, his arrogance remained. “You think this is over, Adam?” he spat, his voice weak but laced with venom. “You’ll regret this. My family—” Before Brian could finish, Adam’s wheelchair rolled forward with deliberate intent. With surprising speed, Adam grabbed him by the collar and yanked him closer. “You still don’t know when to shut up, do you?” Adam growled.

    The tension in the room was palpable as Adam rolled into the living room, his expression dark and commanding.“Adam?” Tessa whispered, her voice filled with worry. 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. A useless man who doesn’t even belong here. Why don’t you just leave and save us all the trouble?”Adam’s jaw tigh

    Back at the Armands mansion, tension hung in the air like a storm about to break. Tessa sat quietly in the grand living room, her face pale but resolute. Around her, the voices of her family swirled like an angry tide, each one cutting deeper than the last. She had started to think if this was really her family, not even her own parents supported her.“This has gone on long enough, Tessa!” Eleanor, her mother, snapped, slamming her hand on the armrest of her chair. “You need to divorce that man. He’s brought nothing but shame to this family!”Her father, Richard, nodded in agreement, his face stern. “Your mother’s right. Do you even realize the damage Adam has done? He’s tarnishing our reputation. You think we’ll stand for this?”Tessa clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms. “Adam hasn’t done anything wrong,” she said firmly. “He’s only defended himself because all of you refuse to respect him. Adam had saved me multiple times don’t you guys always see the good side of h

    Meanwhile at a secluded office, Adam, Arin and Stacey were spotted. Arin leaned over a wooden desk, a tablet in his hand, displaying footage that made even Adam’s seasoned demeanor falter. Stacey stood by the window, her arms crossed, watching Adam with concern as he processed the gravity of the situation. The footage on the screen was harrowing—masked figures storming the presidential villa, chaos erupting as explosions lit up the night. Bodies of fallen special forces littered the ground. The insignia of the Cross-blood organization was unmistakable, splashed in blood-red across the screen. “They’re not just back,” Arin said, his voice steady but grim. “They’re stronger, more organized, and deadlier than ever before. We’ve lost too many men already.” Adam sat silently, his fingers steepled under his chin, his mind a whirlwind of conflicting thoughts. He had planned to focus on finding the last amulet, to finally bring peace to himself and Tessa. After that, he wanted nothing more

    The Armands family mansion was eerily quiet, the remnants of the extravagant birthday party lingering in the air. Despite the silence, tension brewed like a storm. Gerald slammed his hand on the dining table, his face red with fury. “That good-for-nothing man!” he roared. “He seems to bring bad luck wherever he goes. He ruined my birthday!” Brenda, standing near the fireplace, crossed her arms and chimed in, her tone sharp. “And it’s all Tessa’s fault. If she’d just divorced him like we told her, none of this would be happening. We wouldn’t have to endure the embarrassment he keeps bringing to this family.” Tessa, sitting on the far side of the room, clenched her fists. She had been silent through most of the evening, but she couldn’t hold back any longer. “This has nothing to do with Adam,” she said firmly, her voice steady. “It’s not his fault for defending himself when you all constantly try to belittle him.” Brenda spun around, her eyes blazing. “How dare you talk back to me?”

    “Adam, where are you going?” Tessa asked, her voice tinged with worry as she rushed to his side. Adam turned his head slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips. It was rare to see Tessa show such concern for him, and though the moment was fleeting, he found it endearing. “Don’t worry, Tessa,” he said, his voice calm but firm. “I’ll be fine. Nothing’s going to happen. No one can harm me.” “But what if—” He raised a hand to cut her off gently. “Arin is a friend,” he assured her. “Trust me on this.” Tessa frowned, her arms crossing defensively. She wasn’t convinced. A General showing up unannounced, causing such a stir, and then requesting Adam specifically? It didn’t sit right with her. Stacey stepped forward to assist, placing her hands on the wheelchair handles. “I’ll make sure he’s safe, Mrs. Tessa,” Stacey said reassuringly. Without waiting for another word, Adam allowed Stacey to wheel him toward the convoy waiting outside. The line of black SUVs stretched down the street, t

    Brian struggled to his feet, his face a mix of pain and humiliation. Blood dripped from his mouth, staining his expensive suit. Wendy knelt beside him, her eyes darting between him and Arin. She hesitated, but her anger boiled over. “Adam, you think you’re untouchable just because this General is siding with you?” Wendy spat, her voice shaking. “Mark my words, the Diamond family won’t let this slide!” Adam smirked, his expression calm yet taunting. “Wendy, you should focus on helping your boyfriend before you start making threats you can’t back up.” Wendy said with disdain. "Shut up Adam!" She the. turned over to Arin. "Mr. Vex. You shouldn't be listening to him, Brain is the son on the Diamond family, he's better than this cripple —" Arin’s gaze shifted to Wendy, his face cold and unreadable. The tension in the room grew unbearable as he took a deliberate step forward. He didn't waste time in giving her a dirty slap, she collapsed on the ground her tooth flying over. "Y'all didn'
