“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.”

    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

    "Even if you refuse, I have a hundred ways to deal with you," Gerald retorted, his voice dripping with venom. His face was flushed red, veins bulging on his forehead as he glared at Adam, who stood unperturbed before him. Adam’s lips curved into a slight smirk. “Doesn’t matter. You still have to do it.” “In that case,” Gerald sneered, his tone turning more menacing, “you can try me.” Adam met his glare with disdainful calmness, his tone cutting through the tense atmosphere like a knife. “Go ahead. I’d like to see how far you can go.” Gerald’s fury boiled over, and his fists clenched tightly. Just as he was about to lash out, Samuel stepped in, placing a firm hand on Gerald’s shoulder. “Let me handle this,” Samuel said, his tone measured but authoritative. He turned to Adam, his expression a mix of pity and condescension. “Adam, listen. If you agree to the divorce, I’ll personally put in some good words for you in front of Mr. Tristan. Maybe, just maybe, he’ll spare you for my s

    At that moment, Adam’s heart felt as if it had been torn to shreds. Every word Tessa had spoken earlier replayed in his mind like a haunting echo, each syllable cutting deeper than the last. It was as though a thousand needles were stabbing him simultaneously, each one a sharp reminder of his perceived failures. Samuel, eager to capitalize on the situation, wasted no time. “Ashford, bring the divorce papers immediately,” he ordered with smug satisfaction. Within minutes, Ashford returned with the papers. The sound of the pen scratching against the document as Tessa signed felt like nails on a chalkboard to Adam. He watched her hands move gracefully, signing her name with an unsettling decisiveness. She didn’t hesitate. She didn’t falter. And when she passed the papers to him, her face betrayed nothing of the storm raging inside her. “I’ll ask you one last time,” Adam said, his voice thick with emotion. “Are you sure you won’t regret this?” His eyes searched hers desperately, hopi

    Wendy's body hit the ground hard after flying a shocking six feet through the air. A few of her bloodied teeth scattered across the polished floor, a stark and chilling sight. Her face, now swollen and disfigured, bore the unmistakable imprint of Adam’s wrath. She blinked dazedly, her eyes unfocused, as she feebly tried to lift herself off the ground. Each attempt ended with her collapsing back down, unable to summon the strength to stand. Brenda was the first to recover from the shock of what had just happened. Her face twisted with panic as she rushed to her daughter’s side, kneeling beside her trembling form. “Wendy! How are you feeling? Say something!” Wendy winced, blood dripping from the corner of her mouth as she managed to rasp out, “Kill him... Mom, I want him dead!” Her voice was weak, but the venom in her tone was unmistakable. Tears streamed down her face as she clutched at her mother’s arm. “Mom, it hurts... It hurts so much. You have to avenge me.” Brenda’s heart

    Before Brenda could even finish her scream, Adam’s hand struck her face with brutal force. The slap silenced her instantly. Blood sprayed from her mouth as several teeth were knocked loose, scattering across the floor. Brenda spun on her heel before collapsing heavily to the ground, the impact reverberating through the room. She clutched her face, groaning in agony, unable to get up for a long time. Gasps of shock filled the hall. Everyone who didn’t know Adam was frozen in disbelief. They had always seen him as a spineless cripple, someone who endured humiliation without retaliation. The image they had of him was now shattered beyond repair. The sight of him overpowering the Armand family’s bodyguards with ease and ruthlessly disfiguring Wendy had already left them stunned, but this? This was unimaginable. Adam wasn’t just retaliating; he was merciless. Even the guards who had previously grabbed him now hesitated, their confidence shaken. Brenda had suffered the most humil

    “You’re just a secretary,” Samuel sneered. “There’s no way the Supreme One would value someone like you. Meanwhile, I’m Lord Chaosbreaker’s godson. It’s only a matter of time before I meet the Supreme General myself. Who knows—he might like me enough to make me his godson too!”His eyes lit up with excitement as he spoke, as if he was already imagining the Supreme General personally passing him the mantle.“From what I’ve heard, the Supreme One doesn’t have any children,” he continued smugly. “That means he needs a successor. And who better than me?”Stacey burst into laughter.She couldn’t help herself—Samuel sounded absolutely ridiculous. This man had humiliated Adam, stolen another man’s wife, even kidnapped her—and now he was fantasizing about becoming someone else’s heir?Delusional didn’t even begin to describe it.Adam couldn’t help but laugh too.“You?” Adam said with a chuckle. “With that dirty mouth and those cheap tricks, you think you’re worthy of being my godson?”Samuel’

    These people had humiliated Adam repeatedly, and Stacey had long grown furious over it.She had been holding back only because Adam hadn’t given her permission to act yet. If he had, she would’ve made them regret their arrogance a long time ago.And she definitely had the power to do it.Before she even met Adam, Stacey was already a mid-level warrior—a tinted practitioner with a solid reputation. But after training under Adam’s guidance and receiving his subtle enhancements, she’d recently broken through to the level of an experienced warrior. Her strength now placed her among the top young elites in Storm City. Not many dared to challenge her in a one-on-one fight anymore.Samuel’s face was dark with rage.“Stacey, are you seriously choosing to side with that trash? Are you going to turn against me for someone like him?” he demanded, his voice shaking with anger.“If Mr. Adam is trash,” Stacey snapped, “then you’re less than nothing. At least trash can still be useful.”Samuel’s fac

    No one expected Samuel to actually throw a punch in such a prestigious setting.But when they thought about it, it wasn’t all that surprising.Samuel was the heir of his family and the current head of the project department at Bulgart Industries. And now, with Lord Chaosbreaker soon to become his godfather, he had nothing to fear. Even if he killed someone at this banquet, who would dare speak against him?Although Samuel knew Adam could fight, but he still felt he could crash Adam, despite warning from Wendy he believes a cripple couldn't handle his wrath.In fact, many guests silently believed that even Lord Chaosbreaker wouldn’t blame Samuel once he heard the story—he might even praise him for asserting dominance.Everyone knew Samuel wasn’t just a loudmouth. When he left Storm City years ago, he was already a registered warrior. It had been five years since then, and with the kind of training and resources he had access to, his strength had likely grown beyond imagination.Many o

    Adam’s voice turned cold as steel.“Let me make something very clear. Until that divorce is official, you are still my wife. If you dare get engaged to another man, then you’re cheating on me. I won’t accept that—and I won’t stay silent.”Samuel let out a mocking laugh, clapping slowly.“Wow. That’s cute. You think your opinion still matters? Do you really think anyone here gives a damn if you ‘accept’ it or not?”He stepped in closer, lowering his voice to a whisper as he leaned in beside Adam’s ear.“Not only am I getting engaged to your wife tonight… we’ll be warming the sheets after the party too. Might as well give her a taste of what a real man feels like.”In a flash, Adam’s fists clenched at his sides. The veins in his arms bulged, his knuckles whitening. Every fiber in his body screamed to put Samuel down right then and there.But he took a deep breath and forced himself to hold back.Not yet.He didn’t come here to explode in a hallway. He came to end this once and for all.

    Just as Adam stepped forward to present his invitation at the entrance, a sneering voice rang out behind him.“Well, look who decided to show up.”Adam turned around, eyes narrowing.It was Samuel—flanked by Tessa’s family. Wendy, Brenda, and Henry were all there, still showing signs of their recent injuries, yet clearly unwilling to miss the spotlight of the evening.The moment they saw Adam, their expressions twisted in irritation. But none of them dared to confront him head-on—not anymore. He’d proven too dangerous.Still, Samuel wore a smug grin, confidence radiating from him. With his new status as the soon-to-be godson of Lord Chaosbreaker, and Triston—Marvin’s right-hand man—set to eliminate Adam tonight, Samuel felt invincible.Tessa arrived moments later, walking with Stacey at her side. Stacey gave Adam a small nod of acknowledgement.Adam met Tessa’s gaze briefly. His expression softened, but only for a second. Then he turned back toward the entrance.“Hey!” Samuel barked,

    Later that night, Adam’s Office –Adam sat in his leather chair, fully dressed in a sleek black suit, his cufflinks catching the dim light. He stared at the wall in silence, waiting. His presence alone could freeze time. That’s when Hammer entered, holding a formal-looking envelope.“Mr. Adam,” Hammer began, “someone just arrived from Lord Chaosbreaker. They delivered this—an official invitation to tomorrow’s banquet.”Adam didn’t even glance at the envelope. “Marvin’s been busy lately. I heard he wiped out a few Darkclaw leaders.”He finally looked up, calm and unreadable. “Why don’t you go in my place?”Lord Chaosbreaker—real name, Marvin Spencer—wasn’t just an ally. Adam had trained him personally. He was one of Adam’s most trusted men. Although Marvin wasn't one of the four Generals, but he was the closest thing to that, highly respected and the king of the entire Storm city.But Hammer didn’t leave. He lingered, shifting uneasily on his feet.Adam narrowed his eyes. “You’ve got s

    Tessa clung to Adam as if her life depended on it. Despite everything, despite losing hope, somewhere deep inside she always knew—he wouldn’t abandon her.But then her eyes widened in panic.“Adam,” she gasped, pulling back slightly. “There’s something you need to know. This whole thing—it was a setup. Wendy and Samuel planned it. They wanted you out of the way. They knew you’d come for me, and now… they’re waiting for you at the banquet. Triston will be there. He’s going to kill you.”Her voice cracked, trembling with urgency. “You have to leave the city. Please, just go!”Adam looked at her calmly, brushing a strand of hair from her face.“Relax, Tessa. I’m not going anywhere.”“But Adam—”“No one can hurt me,” he said, eyes steady. “And we’re going to the banquet. Together.”She shook her head. “This isn’t the time to act fearless—”“It’s not fearlessness,” Adam interrupted softly. “It’s certainty. I’ll deal with Wendy. With Samuel. With Triston. They laid the trap… and I’m walking

    “A-Adam…?” Tessa whispered, her voice trembling as fresh tears spilled down her cheeks.The bleeding man clutched his arm, howling in pain. “Who the f*** are you?! GET HIM!”Suddenly, the room flooded with enforcers—muscular, armed, and confident. But the moment they locked eyes with Adam, their steps faltered.His aura blanketed the room like a death sentence.He sat still in his wheelchair, one hand gripping the armrest, the other clenched into a tight fist. His gaze was ice-cold. Lifeless. Merciless.“None of you… are leaving here alive,” Adam said quietly—too quietly.A few of them hesitated.“What the hell are you all waiting for?!” the leader screamed. “He’s just a cripple in a chair! F***ing move!”The first man lunged. A mistake.CRACK!Adam swung his steel baton straight into the man’s kneecap. Bone shattered on impact, the man collapsed mid-sprint, screaming.Before he could even touch the floor, Adam had already jammed the baton up under his chin—lifting his entire body and

    Wendy and Brenda slowly backed away, horror etched across their faces as they watched Adam—bloodied, bruised, but still standing tall in that wheelchair—surrounded by unconscious men.“I... I don’t know where she is,” Wendy stammered, voice barely a whisper.Adam’s gaze darkened. “Lying won’t save you, Wendy,” he snapped. “I’m not asking again. Where is Tessa?”Wendy trembled uncontrollably, her mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water.“Alright—your time’s up.”Adam reached for his baton, but his phone buzzed.He answered sharply. “What?”“Lord Adam,” Stacey’s voice came through urgently, “I’ve found her. Tessa’s location is confirmed. Sending it to you now.”A breath of relief escaped Adam’s lips. His eyes didn’t leave Wendy.“I’ll deal with you later.”He spun his wheelchair around and rolled out of the mansion, his aura leaving a cold trail behind.Wendy’s heart was hammering in her chest. She dropped to her knees, gasping for breath.Gerald watched Adam go, his brows de
