The tension in the room was palpable as Adam rolled into the living room, his expression dark and commanding.

“Adam?” Tessa whispered, her voice filled with worry. 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. A useless man who doesn’t even belong here. Why don’t you just leave and save us all the trouble?”

    Adam’s fists remained clenched, his body tense as if he were holding himself back from delivering another blow. The room was silent except for Brian’s pained groans. He managed to sit up, wiping blood from his lip with a shaky hand. Despite his beaten state, the hatred in his eyes burned brightly. “This isn’t over,” Brian hissed, his voice a mix of pain and rage. “You think you can just humiliate me? My family—” Adam’s wheelchair rolled forward with an ominous creak. In one swift motion, he grabbed Brian by the collar and yanked him closer. Brian’s eyes widened, fear flickering across his face as he realized just how serious Adam was. “You really don’t know when to shut up, do you?” Adam’s voice was low and menacing. Without waiting for a response, he delivered a brutal punch to Brian’s face, sending him sprawling back onto the cold floor. “Adam, stop!” Tessa’s voice broke through the tension, her hands clutching his shoulders. “Please, you’ve done enough.” Adam’s chest heaved as

    The next morning, the mansion buzzed with activity. Guests had already begun gathering in the grand hall, their chatter filling the air with excitement. Adam and Tessa descended the staircase together, their steps in sync. Adam glanced around, his brows furrowing slightly. “A second party?” he muttered under his breath, clearly unprepared for the spectacle. Tessa looked up at him, noticing his discomfort. “I didn’t know either,” she whispered. Adam nodded, his mind preoccupied. He had planned to leave early for his mission and was determined to inform Tessa before his departure. But as he scanned the room, filled with family members and strangers alike, he realized the timing wasn’t right. If he left now, Tessa would be vulnerable to the family’s usual torment. His thoughts were interrupted as Stacey Gold entered the hall, her presence commanding attention. She strutted in confidently, her high heels clicking against the marble floor. Adam’s eyes narrowed, but he said nothing,

    The room grew quieter as someone exclaimed, “It’s Samuel Wade!” Heads turned toward the man now standing confidently in the center of attention. “Oh, so it’s Samuel!” a woman whispered excitedly. “He used to be the Prince Charming of Storm City. All the young ladies adored him.” “That’s right,” another guest chimed in. “I even heard Ms. Tessa was smitten with him back then. If his family hadn’t moved, it’s likely he would be the one standing beside her now.” The whispers grew louder despite attempts to keep them discreet. Unfortunately, Adam’s sharp ears caught every word, and a pang of unease settled in his chest. Samuel strode toward Tessa with a magnetic smile, his arms outstretched as if to embrace her. The audacity of the move made Adam’s fists clench, his knuckles whitening. Fury flickered in his eyes as he held back the urge to intervene. He’s really going to hug my wife in front of me? Adam thought, his patience thinning. But before Adam could act, Tessa took a deliberat

    “You don’t have to explain anything to me, Samuel,” Tessa said firmly, her voice steady despite the tension in the room. “I won’t be divorcing Adam. It’s impossible for us to be together, so please don’t contact me ever again.” Her rejection was so resolute that a collective gasp rippled through the crowd. Whispers of disbelief filled the air, each comment more incredulous than the last. Samuel’s confident smirk faltered momentarily, but before he could respond, Gerald stepped forward with an authoritative glare aimed at Tessa. “Tessa, don’t be so stubborn,” Gerald scolded. “Mr. Samuel is an impressive man, far better than that piece of trash you call a husband. He loves you deeply, and you shouldn’t take that for granted. After this event, you need to get a divorce immediately.” Eleanor, ever eager to add fuel to the fire, chimed in, “Your grandfather is absolutely right. Once the divorce is finalized, we’ll set a date for your engagement to Mr. Samuel.” Tessa’s frustration boile

    Samuel smirked, finding the situation hilarious. “Who do you think you are? You’re nothing but a little bug trying to act tough.” Adam remained calm, ignoring the jeers. Pulling out his phone, he dialed Hammer’s number. His tone was sharp and commanding. “You have one minute to fire Samuel.” The room burst into laughter, led by Samuel, who looked at Adam with contempt. “Are you trying to scare me with this little act? How pathetic! Do you even know who you’re talking to? Look at yourself before pretending to have any power.” Eleanor joined in, her voice dripping with ridicule. “Your performance is so dramatic. You might actually have a shot in acting. Too bad we all know it’s just a bluff.” Adam merely smiled, his expression unreadable, which only seemed to irritate the crowd further. Samuel was about to pile on more insults when his phone buzzed in his pocket. He glanced at the caller ID and froze. The name "Hammer" flashed on the screen. His confident smirk faltered as he answer

    “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. After the event is over, you’re going to divorce Tessa immedia

    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. Doing so was tantamount to

    Everyone was instantly excited. Lord Chaosbreaker was a real legend. He was one of the most respectable Gods of War. His presence would naturally cause a commotion. The crowd swore in their mind that they had to get an invitation to the banquet no matter what After all, that was the greatest opportunity to flatter Lord Chaosbreaker. If they could get close to him, they would have a bright future ahead. Some of the people who were quick had already started flattering Tristan and giving him gifts. As the room buzzed with activity, Tristan turned his sharp gaze back to Adam. The smirk on his face transformed into a cold, calculated sneer. “Brat,” he said, his voice carrying an unmistakable threat. “I still have matters to attend to, but don’t think I’ve forgotten about you. Once the banquet is over, I’ll make sure to settle the score personally. You’ll regret crossing me.” Adam’s expression remained unchanged, his calm demeanor unshaken by Tristan’s ominous words. Instead, a faint sm

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.

    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?

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.

    “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

Only then will my hatred be satisfied.”Gerald’s face darkened as he pointed an accusing finger. “Tessa! Have you no shame? Sitting on a man’s lap in public like some cheap—”Tessa instinctively moved to get up, flustered, but Adam tightened his hold around her waist.Unbothered, Adam stared Gerald down. “She’s my woman. What’s the issue with her sitting on my lap?”“You’re divorced!” Gerald barked. “You have no right to touch her anymore. Let her go, now.”“That’s right!” Eleanor and Richard chimed in furiously. “She’s our daughter! Release her immediately!”Adam’s gaze turned ice-cold. “Are all of you deaf or just dense?
