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,

    The room fell into a tense silence as a group of men burst in, their heavy footsteps echoing ominously. Leading them was a hulking figure, his shaved head glistening under the dim light. His fierce eyes scanned the room, and the leopard tattoos etched across his muscular arms only added to his intimidating presence.“Who dares to cause trouble for Mr. Woods and Mr. Blackwood on my turf?” the man demanded, his voice low and menacing.This was Robert Diego, a notorious name in Storm City. Even though the Darkclaw Group had long since disbanded, Diego’s personal reputation remained untarnished. Backed by his entourage of five or six equally imposing thugs, he was a force to be reckoned with. In the city, few dared to challenge him, and even the four major families stepped lightly around him.Mark’s face lit up with unrestrained excitement as he hurried forward. “Mr. Diego, you’re finally here! We’ve been waiting for you.”Ethan followed closely, his earlier fear melting away.“Don’t worr

    The tension in the room snapped like a coiled spring as Robert’s patience reached its limit.“Damn you!” he bellowed, raising his massive hand and delivering a resounding slap across Mark’s face. The sharp crack of the blow echoed through the air, silencing everyone in the room.Mark stumbled back, clutching his reddened cheek, his expression a mix of shock and indignation. “Mr. Diego, why did you hit me?” he stammered, his voice tinged with both anger and confusion.Robert’s glare could have pierced steel. “Damn it! Do I need a reason?” he roared, following up with an even fiercer slap that sent Mark reeling.Not content with his blows, Robert drove his boot into Mark’s stomach with such force that Mark crumpled to the ground, groaning in pain.Ethan, equally stunned and panicked, spoke up hesitantly. “Mr. Diego, are you hitting the wrong people? We’re the ones who called you for help against this trash!”Robert’s rage only deepened at the words. “Go to hell!” he barked, spinning aro

    Adam’s voice carried a chilling edge, each word sharper than the last. “This is a one-time courtesy. Don’t test me again.”“Thank you, Mr. Adam, thank you,” Robert stammered, visibly relieved. He quickly bowed, his hands trembling slightly as he did so.Adam’s gaze shifted to Mark and Ethan, his eyes cold and unyielding. “What should we do with them?” Robert asked, pointing toward the two men.Adam’s response was indifferent, almost dismissive. “Break their most prized possessions.”Robert hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “Understood,” he replied and began walking toward the two.Ethan’s face drained of color, panic replacing the arrogance he had worn so confidently earlier. “Robert, think this through!” he blurted out. “I am the eldest son of the Blackwood family. If you dare to harm me, our family will never let you off!”Robert stopped and turned to him, an expression of disdain spreading across his face. “The Blackwood family?” he sneered. “You think that name frightens me?

    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.
