Rise Of The Supreme General Chapter 151
"Adam, can you please not talk nonsense?" Tessa's voice trembled slightly, her face a mix of anger and frustration. She turned swiftly to Adrian, attempting to maintain her composure. "Mr. Gregory, please excuse Adam. He can be... outspoken at times, but there's no need to engage with him. I apologize on his behalf."Adrian raised an eyebrow, his lips curving into a faint smirk. "Ms. Tessa, while I respect your loyalty, I can't help but feel you’re wasting your potential. A woman of your caliber deserves a partner who can match your brilliance—not someone who’s clearly beneath you."Tessa’s expression darkened. "He is not beneath me," she said firmly, her voice edged with restrained anger. "There are reasons for his condition, reasons that involve me. I would appreciate it if you refrained from making such assumptions about him.""Trash, trash, trash!" Brenda chimed in mockingly, her tone dripping with contempt. She snorted, folding her arms. "What are you going to do about it, huh?"

"Adam, that was reckless! Betting against Mr. Gregory is practically a guaranteed loss," Tessa fumed as they entered the room.A wry smile played on Adam’s lips. "Tessa, why can’t you trust me just this once?""I want to trust you, but you have to give me a reason," Tessa replied, her voice laced with frustration.Adam’s confidence didn’t waver. "I can’t explain it now. Just trust me—you’ll see tomorrow," he said with a reassuring smile.Despite his assurance, Tessa remained uneasy. Unable to sleep, she decided to clear her head with a walk in the yard."Mrs. Tessa, why are you still awake?" a voice called out from behind her.Startled, Tessa turned to see Adrian approaching. "Adrian? You’re still here?""Your family insisted I stay the night. I couldn’t refuse," Adrian said with a smug grin."Mr. Gregory," Tessa began tentatively, "about the bet my husband made with you—could you treat it as a joke? Please?"Adrian’s expression darkened, a hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes. "Mrs.

"Get lost!" Daniel barked, his patience with Adrian nonexistent. He brusquely shoved him aside and marched directly toward Tessa.Adrian stumbled, shocked, but Daniel’s focus was solely on her. He stopped a few steps away, bowed deeply, and said with reverence, “Madam, please forgive my delay. I beg your pardon.”Tessa’s eyes widened in alarm. Her hand instinctively moved to shield the Cursed-Idol amulet hanging from her neck.A wave of dread washed over her. He recognizes it. That was her immediate thought, though she knew the pendant she wore was merely a counterfeit. If Daniel realized the truth, she’d be in grave trouble. Regret bubbled within her—she should’ve removed the fake amulet before coming to Bulgart Industry.The others were stunned into silence.Adrian broke it first, his voice laced with confusion and disbelief. “Uncle Daniel, you must be mistaken! She’s just the daughter of the Armand family, and that loser over there is her husband. Why are you calling her ‘Madam’?”

“Adam, let’s just let it go,” Tessa said softly, her gaze lingering on the humiliated group. Despite everything, she felt a pang of sympathy for them.Adam raised an eyebrow and smirked, glancing at Daniel. “Mr. Sebastian, it seems they didn’t quite hear you earlier.”Daniel’s face turned cold, his tone laced with fury. “It seems they have a death wish. Men! Drag them out and feed them to the dogs!”“No! I’ll fulfill my end of the bet!” Henry shouted, panic overtaking him as he stepped forward, his earlier arrogance completely gone.“I’ll do it too,” Adrian said grudgingly, swallowing his pride. His face was a mix of anger and humiliation.As for Wendy, she didn’t even bother to argue or defend herself. The moment Daniel made his threat, she bolted from the scene, disappearing into the crowd without a backward glance.“This way, please, Mr. and Mrs. Adam,” Daniel said with a polite bow, gesturing for the couple to follow him into the building.---Inside the grand building, Daniel per

“Wendy, are you sure about this?” Gerald asked anxiously, his tone filled with anticipation. His hands trembled slightly as he leaned forward, eyes fixed on Wendy. If her guess was correct and the Supreme General had truly taken an interest in her, it would be a monumental breakthrough for the Armand family.Wendy crossed her arms and huffed proudly. “Of course, I’m sure. That old man I met had white hair and looked to be around the rumored age of the Supreme General. And, as the rumors say, he was hideously ugly. At first, I wasn’t certain, but now everything lines up perfectly.”She paused for dramatic effect, casting a mocking glance at Tessa. “The Supreme General must have taken an interest in me, which is why he sent Mr. Sebastian to greet us earlier. Clearly, Mr. Sebastian mistook Tessa for me.” She sneered, stepping closer to Tessa. “Did you really think someone like the Supreme General would be interested in a married woman like you?”Tessa, unfazed, shook her head. “I’ve neve

“You brat! Look at Wendy. She’s managed to catch the attention of the Supreme General! And what about you? You latched onto a useless piece of trash. Damn it!” Eleanor fumed, her face red with anger. Richard’s expression was equally dark. “She’s right. You must divorce that useless piece of garbage immediately. There’s no way we’ll let that jerk drag you down any further.” “Your dad is absolutely right,” Eleanor added, slamming her hand on the table. “Go and divorce that good-for-nothing right now. Just the thought of him makes my blood boil!” Wendy smirked, her arms crossed. “Even if she divorces him, she’s still a used woman. Do you really think the Supreme General would be interested in someone like her?” Henry, not one to miss the opportunity to ridicule, chimed in with a sneer. “What do you take the Supreme General for? Why would someone of his stature waste his time with a divorced woman? She wouldn’t even catch the eye of someone like Mr. Woods or Mr. Blackwoods now.”

Tessa smiled bitterly, a deep sadness lingering in her heart. She wished her family could see Adam as more than an outsider, as someone who belonged to them too. But it was a foolish wish. Even she was little more than a tool to her family—a pawn in their endless games of power and ambition.Adam broke the silence. “I have to go for a checkup later. You don’t need to wait for me. The bidding will be held in a few days, so you should prepare the necessary documents.” He smiled, trying to lighten the mood.Tessa chuckled, but the sound lacked warmth. “I’ve been demoted to vice president. Wendy is the president now, so she’s in charge of the bidding.”Adam frowned, clearly taken aback. “How is that possible? You just secured the bidding qualification. It’s bad enough they didn’t reward you, but to demote you? That’s outrageous!”“Well, I only got the bidding qualification because of Wendy,” Tessa said quietly, her tone resigned.Adam’s confusion deepened. “What does that have to do with
Rise Of The Supreme General Chapter 158
Although Eleanor had her doubts about Adam’s bold claims, her desire to attend the bidding event overpowered her skepticism. This was a rare opportunity to mingle with influential figures from Storm City, as well as international elites who had flown in for the occasion. If Tessa attended, Eleanor thought, perhaps she might catch the eye of some big shot and elevate their family’s status.However, Richard didn’t share his wife’s enthusiasm. To him, this was a futile endeavor. He had already lost all hope in Adam.Before long, the three of them arrived at the grand entrance of Bulgart Industry’s headquarters. The towering building exuded power and prestige, and a steady stream of well-dressed guests approached the security checkpoint, invitation cards in hand.“Adam, do you really have a way to get us in?” Tessa asked, doubt lingering in her voice.Eleanor, less subtle, snapped, “I’m warning you now—if you embarrass me in front of all these people, I won’t let you off so easily!”Adam,

Brenda, David, and Henry knelt in silence, the air heavy with guilt. Wendy’s cries had faded, but the sound of her being dragged off still haunted them. Henry winced as he moaned in pain, his broken leg barely holding him up. But it wasn’t just the injury. It was everything—they’d lost their daughter, their sister, and any chance of fixing things. Brenda slowly dropped to her knees. Her voice cracked. “Please... we know Wendy did wrong. But she’s still our family. We’re begging you. Please, forgive us.” Adam didn’t even blink. His gaze landed on her, cold and sharp. “No. Not you,” he said flatly. Brenda froze. “What?” “You don’t get to walk away from this,” Adam said. “Your family—especially you—have done enough damage to Tessa. You lied to her. Used her. Threw her away when it suited you.” He didn’t raise his voice. He didn’t have to. “You deserve everything that’s happening to you.” Brenda tried to speak, but the words wouldn’t come. There was nothing left to say. Adam t

Tessa froze as her eyes took in the blood-streaked floor, the shattered furniture, and the bodies groaning in pain. Triston’s corpse lay lifeless in the center of the hall, surrounded by armed soldiers in full tactical gear. The stench of smoke and iron filled the air. She gripped Adam’s arm tightly. “What the hell happened here?” she asked, her voice sharp with confusion and disbelief. Adam’s expression didn’t change. Calm. Cold. “I dealt with everyone who tried to hurt you.” Tessa’s heart skipped. Her gaze darted across the room. Samuel wasn’t in sight. Neither was Wendy. “Wait—where’s Wendy? And Samuel?” she asked, eyes narrowing. “Adam… don’t tell me you—” “I didn’t kill them,” Adam cut in, reading her mind. “They’re not worth that. They’ve been arrested. That’s all.” Tessa let out a shaky breath, but it didn’t ease her mind. “Adam, I thought you said you wouldn’t go this far. Wendy... she’s still my family.” Adam turned to her with a sharp look. “Family? The same ‘family’

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
Chapter 235
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
