Clinton looked utterly heartbroken, his shoulders sagging as disappointment swept over his face. Stacey, standing nearby, mirrored his dismay, her lips pressed into a thin line.

“Ms. Gold, Mr. Clinton, Mr. Reeves—what are you doing?” Gerald asked, his confusion evident.

Clinton sighed deeply, his expression darkening. Then, as if struck by a sudden realization, his eyes lit up with urgency. He turned toward the pug sitting innocently nearby and pointed at it. “Whose dog is this?”

A staff member hesitantly stepped forward, her face pale with nervousness. “It’s mine, sir. I… I’m terribly sorry for bringing him here. It was unprofessional of me.”

Stacey shot her a sharp look but quickly softened her tone. “Let this be the only time. Don’t let it happen again.”

“Yes, Ms. Gold. Thank you!” The staff member bowed repeatedly in relief, but just as she began to leave with the pug, Clinton raised his voice.

“Wait! Hold on!” he called out urgently.

The staff froze mid-step, her heart racing. “Y

    “I’ll take it then,” Reeves said, his expression lighting up with satisfaction. In fact, he looked almost gleeful as he turned to the staff and asked, “How do you feel after I’ve bought your dog for five million?”“Mr. Reeves, are you serious?” the staff member stammered, her eyes wide with disbelief.Reeves nodded confidently and wrote a check for five million dollars right away. When the staff took the check from his hand, she still seemed stunned, unable to process what was happening.Clement was so elated that he turned to Stacey and said, “Ms. Gold, can you do me a favor? Tell your hotel staff to have the dog killed and retrieve the pill from its stomach.”Stacey hesitated for a moment but then nodded. She quickly called two hotel employees over to take the pug away.It was only then that everyone in the room seemed to grasp what was going on. The initial fight between Clinton and Reeves over the dog hadn’t been about the animal at all. Instead, it was about the pill the pug had

    Suddenly, a commotion rippled through the crowd. “General Arin Vex is here!” someone shouted. Gasps of shock echoed across the room. Even Adam raised an eyebrow in slight surprise, and Stacey’s face turned pale. What was General Arin Vex doing in Storm City? General Arin Vex was one of the four Generals of Coastal Flair, a man whose presence alone commanded attention and respect. Known as the most powerful figure alive after the Supreme General and the other three Generals, his reputation was legendary. Few had ever seen him in person, and even fewer dared to approach him. The buzz in the hall grew louder as a massive convoy rolled up outside. Hundreds of soldiers stepped out of their individual vehicles, forming an impenetrable wall of security. At the center of it all was a black SUV, guarded by four imposing men. They moved in perfect sync, each opening a door to reveal the vehicle’s sole occupant. A man stepped out, tall and imposing, his very presence exuding authority. He lo

    The crowd was stunned into silence as Arin’s words echoed through the hall. “He came for Adam? What?” someone whispered, their voice filled with disbelief. Another added, “That troublemaker must have done something to offend him. This time, he’s doomed for sure.” Gerald, his face twisted in anger and panic, pointed a shaking finger at Adam. “What have you done now, you punk!? Are you trying to bring disaster upon us?” Adam leaned back in his wheelchair, his expression as calm as ever. He chuckled softly, further infuriating Gerald. “Relax, Gerald. You’re overthinking this.” Tessa, however, was a nervous wreck. Kneeling on the floor, her trembling hands clasped together in a desperate plea, she turned to General Vex. “Please, General, I apologize on behalf of my husband. Whatever he’s done, I beg you to spare him. He meant no harm.” Arin, standing tall and imposing, raised an eyebrow in confusion. Why was everyone acting like this? He had already been briefed on Adam’s decision to

    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'

    “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

    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?”

    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

    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

    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.
