“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,

    Confusion gripped the hall like a storm. Brenda dropped to her knees and crawled to Adam’s feet, her voice trembling.“Please, Adam... don’t do this to my daughter. Wendy’s still Tessa’s family. Have mercy.”Adam looked down at her, expression cold.“It’s funny seeing you this low,” he said with a faint smirk. “But mercy? Not this time. Wendy crossed a line. She’s hurt Tessa too many times. She’ll pay.”“Adam, please!” Brenda sobbed, clutching his ankle.He stepped past her like she was air. Hammer moved forward, planting himself between her and Adam.“No one moves,” Hammer growled.Adam headed back to the suite. Inside, Stacey sat by Tessa’s side, monitoring her vitals. Adam’s features softened the moment he saw her.He brushed her hair back gently and kissed her forehead.Tessa stirred. “Adam...?” Her voice was weak but laced with worry. She blinked herself awake, then suddenly sat up.“What happened? Was it Triston? Did he attack you?” Her hands checked him quickly, panic growing.

    Wendy trembled on the ground, her face pale. Her legs were already broken, and now Adam had spoken of punishment."No… no, please…" she whimpered, trying to crawl away, dragging her bloodied limbs.Samuel lay unconscious beside her, his face soaked in sweat, twitching occasionally from the pain. But Adam wasn’t done.He turned to one of Hammer’s men.“Wake him up.”The soldier stepped forward with a bucket of icy water and threw it over Samuel’s face.“AHHH!” Samuel jolted upright, screaming as the pain from his shattered legs surged through his body again. “W-What… what’s happening?!”Adam stepped forward, towering above them like judgment itself.“Let’s talk, shall we?” he said, his voice calm… too calm. “About Tessa. About the little kidnapping stunt you pulled.”Wendy shook her head, fast. “We didn’t do anything! You’re making things up! I swear—”Adam pulled out his phone. With a swipe, a recording echoed through the silent hall:> “Show up alone, Adam, or we’ll slit her throat l

    Lord Hammer strode forward, boots thudding like judgment itself. He stopped before Adam and gave a slight nod. No words were exchanged, but something passed between them—an unspoken recognition of rank.Then he turned to face the stunned crowd.“You dared defy a higher authority,” Hammer’s voice rang out, deep and cold. “And now, you will face the consequences.”Triston's face twisted in confusion. “Higher authority?” he echoed, baffled.“What do you mean, Lord Hammer? I haven’t offended anyone!”Adam stepped forward, handing Tessa gently into Stacey’s arms. “Take her inside. Let her rest—the toxins will wear off soon.”Then he turned back to Triston with a cold, arrogant smile.“You fool,” Adam said. “He’s talking about me. I’m the highest authority in this room.”Triston’s eyes widened. “You? How dare you involve yourself in this? Are you suicidal?”Suddenly—CRACK!Hammer’s foot connected with Triston’s jaw. The sound of splintering bone echoed. Triston screamed as his teeth flew ou

    Triston’s forces flooded the hall like a wave of black-clad thunder. Within seconds, they surrounded Adam and Stacey, fully armed and outnumbering them nearly ten to one. But Adam?He didn’t flinch.“I won’t say it again,” Adam said, voice like steel. “Drop her.”Triston scoffed, as if Adam's words were nothing but wind.“Still barking?” he sneered. “You insulted Lord Chaosbreaker and still have the guts to act tough? I’ll personally snap every bone in your body.”Adam’s eyes narrowed. “Did Marvin send you?” His voice was cold, lethal. He didn’t believe Marvin would be foolish enough to try this. And if he had—Adam could erase him with a single phone call.But Triston only laughed.“Lord Chaosbreaker doesn’t need to say a word. I serve him. I live to please him. And when I bring him your head—” he grinned, eyes wild, “he’ll know who truly deserves his favor.”Adam clicked his tongue, shaking his head. “So you did this on your own? You must really want to die.”Triston’s face twisted w

    “I told you—I’d come back for you.”Triston’s voice was a low growl, his jaw clenched, eyes burning with vengeance. His men moved like shadows, swarming the hallway outside the presidential suite with ruthless precision.He hadn’t forgotten what Adam did. Insulting Marvin was one thing—but mocking him publicly had sealed his fate. Triston had only escorted Marvin home to ensure his safety. After that, he returned to fulfill his promise by ending Adam.He'd received information that Adam was a skilled fighter so he arranged tactical men to handle this situation. He's going to punish Adam publicly.“Take him away!” Triston barked.One of his men hesitated. “And what about the lady?”Triston’s eyes narrowed. “Carry her too.”Down below, as the soldiers descended the stairs with Adam and Tessa slumped unconscious on their shoulders, a murmur rose among the crowd.Samuel was still kneeling at the center, and upon seeing Adam limp in the arms of Triston’s men, his eyes lit up with glee. “Fi

    Tessa answered without a trace of doubt.“I won’t regret it. If I get pregnant, I’ll keep the child. I’ll raise them—on my own, if I have to.”Her voice was soft but firm. In her heart, this was more than a promise—it was her way of repaying the man who had stood beside her when no one else did.Adam’s eyes lit up with a rare joy. Without warning, he swept her into his arms, drawing a gasp from her lips.“Tessa…” he whispered, overwhelmed. Then, louder—“I’ll make sure you never regret this.”“Bastards! You think you can do whatever you want?!” Samuel’s voice thundered from below, his rage echoing through the walls. He couldn’t hear their words, but he didn’t need to—he could see what was happening. And it drove him mad.Yet, the sun still hung in the sky. For now, he was powerless.Far off, Stacey had been watching the situation unfold. The moment she saw Adam carrying Tessa, she rushed to prepare the presidential suite.Upstairs, the room glowed with dim, golden light as Adam gently

    “What nonsense are you spouting? We’re kneeling for Lord Chaosbreaker, not for a bastard like you!” Henry snapped, his voice cracking with rage.Samuel’s fists trembled as he glared daggers at Adam. “I don’t have time for your games. But mark my words—when night falls, I’ll tear you apart with my own hands.”Adam rose slowly from his seat, brushing imaginary dust from his shirt as if he hadn’t a care in the world. He walked toward them with lazy strides, then pulled out his phone and started recording.Samuel’s eyes narrowed. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?”Henry growled, “Back off, Adam!”But Adam only chuckled, zooming in on their bent backs. “Careful, boys. Keep talking, and this video goes viral. Can’t wait to see the headlines: ‘Local Elites Bow Before One Man—Who Is He?’”A ripple of panic swept through the room. The once-proud men instinctively bowed their heads lower, afraid of becoming laughingstocks.Adam’s grin faded the moment he put the phone away. He hadn’t pl
