Rise Of The Supreme General Chapter 170
"Alright, enough!" Gerald's voice boomed through the room, silencing the bickering. His expression darkened as he scanned his family. "Do you have any sense of decorum? Look where we are! Do you want to turn this banquet into a spectacle for the guests?"The crowd fell silent under Gerald's stern gaze, though the tension in the room remained palpable. He glanced at Adam dismissively, his lips pressing into a thin line. Whatever gift Adam held in his hands, Gerald didn’t even bother to look at it.“Grandpa!” A cheerful voice suddenly broke through the heavy atmosphere. All heads turned as Wendy strutted into the room, her smile radiant and her arm linked with a man’s.The man beside her was unremarkable in looks but carried himself with an air of self-assured arrogance. He wore a tailored brand-name suit, his wrist adorned with an expensive watch that gleamed under the lights. His posture was stiff, his nose slightly upturned, as though the entire room wasn’t worth his notice. Wendy, o

Upon hearing Brian’s identity, Gerald's demeanor changed instantly. He hurried forward with a wide smile, extending both hands in a welcoming gesture. “Hello, Mr. Diamond. I must apologize for not preparing a warmer welcome for someone of your stature.”His voice carried a hint of reverence. Even at the height of the Armand family’s influence, they had never been in the same league as the Diamond family.Brian offered a polite smile, though his expression betrayed his self-assured arrogance. “You’re too kind, Mr. Armand. I hope you don’t mind me showing up unannounced.”“Not at all!” Gerald replied with enthusiasm. “It’s an honor to have you here. Please, come this way and take a seat.” He gestured toward one of the most prominent spots in the hall, personally guiding Brian over while offering a string of compliments.As Brian settled into his seat, the atmosphere shifted again.“Ms. Gold is here!” someone suddenly exclaimed, drawing everyone's attention toward the entrance.“Ms. Gold

After all, Bulgart Industry was the leading company in the world. Compared to them, the Diamond family was insignificant. Moreover, the Supreme General’s terrifying underworld organizations was not something the Diamond family would dare to provoke.By now, most of the guests had arrived, and the banquet was about to begin. But before the festivities could commence, an important tradition took center stage—the gift-giving ceremony.Henry was the first to stand, holding an exquisite vase in his hands. He stepped forward confidently and addressed Gerald. “Grandpa, this antique vase cost me eight million dollars. I hope it brings you joy and prosperity on your birthday.”The crowd murmured in approval, nodding at the sight of the lavish gift. Gerald smiled warmly, clearly pleased with Henry’s gesture.“What a thoughtful gift,” someone whispered.Next, Brian rose with a proud smile, presenting a rolled-up painting carefully encased in protective wrapping. He handed it to Gerald with a sli

“What? How dare you curse me?” Gerald’s voice thundered through the hall, his expression darkening with fury.“I’ve told you before—he’s nothing but an ungrateful wretch. Do you believe me now, Grandpa?” Brenda sneered, seizing the opportunity to pile on the insults.“How dare you curse Grandpa? Apologize to him immediately!” Richard roared, his face contorted with anger.“What are you waiting for?” Eleanor shouted at Adam, her voice trembling with rage. “Do you want to drag us all down with your reckless behavior? Apologize now!”Their frustration was palpable. Despite their disdain for Adam, he was still tied to their family through marriage. If Gerald's anger boiled over, it would spell disaster for everyone associated with him.“Adam, you’ve crossed the line this time! Apologize to Grandpa right away,” Tessa demanded, her face flushed with anger and embarrassment.The crowd, sensing the mounting tension, erupted into a chorus of condemnation.“What kind of son-in-law dares to curs

Gerald’s expression darkened further, his patience wearing thin. If it weren’t for Adam’s association with Stacey, he might have lashed out already. He clenched his fists, suppressing his growing annoyance.Meanwhile, Brian, oblivious to Gerald’s restraint, sneered disdainfully. “How shameless can you be? Offering this junk as a gift? It’s downright embarrassing.”“He’s absolutely right,” Wendy chimed in, her tone dripping with contempt. She rolled her eyes dramatically and added, “Just look at Mr. Diamond. His gift is worth millions, while yours is nothing but a worthless trinket.”Adam let out a quiet chuckle, his smirk widening. “I’ve been holding back, trying to ignore the two of you. But you’ve pushed me too far. Since you seem so eager, I have no choice but to expose the truth.”The sudden shift in his tone caught the room’s attention. Brian and Wendy exchanged uneasy glances but quickly masked their unease with indignation.“Expose us? You?” Wendy scoffed, crossing her arms. “W

“Adam, I’m begging you. Please, just stop spreading these rumors.” Tessa’s voice trembled with a mix of frustration and disbelief, her gaze fixed on Adam with evident disappointment.She had always thought Adam had a tendency to boast, but this was different. This wasn’t mere exaggeration; it was crossing a line. Her chest tightened as the reality sank in—she was beginning to lose faith in him.Adam, however, remained calm. His sharp gaze locked onto Brian as he asked, “If you’re so confident it’s not a fake, would you allow me to inspect it?”Wendy, unable to hide her irritation, scoffed. “Inspect it? Do you even hear yourself? That painting is worth millions! How dare someone like you even think of inspecting it?”“Exactly!” Brenda chimed in, her arms crossed in disdain. “You have no right to touch something that valuable. If you so much as leave a smudge on it, you’ll be paying for it for the rest of your life!”Brian smirked arrogantly, adjusting his pristine designer watch as he

Brian sneered with an air of superiority. “Well, brat, did you notice anything? Or are you just bluffing again?” Adam didn’t respond immediately. Instead, a playful smile danced across his lips as he picked up a glass of water from the table. He swirled the water in his mouth, as if savoring it, but he didn’t swallow. In a sudden, unexpected move, Adam sprayed the water directly onto the painting. “What are you doing?!” “How dare you?!” The room erupted in chaos. Wendy’s face turned beet red as she jumped to her feet, her finger shaking as she pointed at Adam. Brian was equally furious, his fists clenched tightly. Even Brenda, Gerald, and several other guests stared at Adam in disbelief. “You lunatic!” Wendy’s voice trembled with rage. “That painting is worth millions! How dare you destroy it? You must pay for this, or I swear you won’t leave here alive!” Tessa’s expression shifted from shock to anger as she shouted, “Adam, what are you doing? Are you out of your mind?” She gr

Stacey quickly understood Adam's intention and turned to an elderly man seated not far away. “Mr. Spark, you’re an expert in paintings. Could you help us authenticate this piece?”The room fell silent as all eyes turned to Charles Spark. Known as a renowned art expert, his opinion carried significant weight.One guest chimed in, “Mr. Charles Spark is a leading authority in the art world. If anyone can authenticate this painting, it’s him.”Another nodded in agreement. “But do we even need to go that far? Mr. Diamond wouldn’t dare gift a fake painting. He has a reputation to uphold!”“Exactly,” someone else added. “Ten million dollars is nothing to someone like him. Why would he risk his name over a counterfeit?”The murmurs of agreement spread through the room. Brian, however, felt a bead of sweat forming on his temple. His confidence wavered as he realized the scrutiny was about to intensify.Feigning nonchalance, Brian scoffed, “Authenticate it? That’s rich. But the painting has alr

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
