Adam stared at Tessa, his expression unreadable. "How do you know it’s mine?"

Tessa’s face twisted with fury, her hands clenched into fists. “How dare you ask me that?” she hissed. “You think I sleep around?”

Adam stayed silent, unsure how to respond to her sudden outburst.

Tears welled up in Tessa’s eyes. “You were the only one. I was a virgin before that night… and you—” Her voice broke as she fought back a sob. “You’re the only man who’s ever touched me.”

Adam’s expression softened as guilt washed over him. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to insult you."

She turned away, wiping her tears. Adam stepped closer, his tone gentle. "Listen, I can take care of you. I have money, more than enough to—”

"Shut up!" Tessa snapped, her voice filled with frustration. "Stop boasting about your stupid money."

Adam froze, stunned by her reaction.

“You don’t get it, do you?” she said bitterly. “I’m Tessa Armand—the heiress of the Armand family. If they find out I’m pregnant with a stranger’s child…” She

    The silence in the lab was deafening.Bodies of the experimented humans lay strewn across the floor—twitching, broken, gasping their final breaths. Their twisted forms contorted unnaturally, enhanced muscle tissue ruptured beyond repair.Adam stood in the middle of the carnage, untouched. His uniform remained spotless, his breathing steady, his expression unreadable.The Supreme General, in the flesh.To Draven, the sight was sickening.“You really don’t disappoint,” Draven sneered, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth, eyes narrowing with cold malice. His smirk faltered as the reality sank in—the so-called legend was every bit the nightmare the stories whispered about.Draven’s fists clenched at his sides, frustration simmering beneath his skin.Adam didn’t speak.His sharp, hawk-like eyes remained locked on Draven, analyzing every twitch of muscle, every shift in posture.Then, Draven reached into his coat pocket, pulling out a small metallic capsule, etched with Cross Blood’s

    The Next NightIt was 11:30 PM when the intel finally came through.Inside the Silver Squad’s secure briefing room, the air was heavy. Dim lights cast shadows across sharp faces. The hum of a holographic map pulsed softly in the center of the table, blue light washing over them.The squad was locked in, their expressions tight, jaws clenched. No one cracked a smile here. Not tonight.Adam stood at the head, arms crossed, watching, listening. His sharp grey eyes never missed a detail.Ivy, the team’s strategist, leaned over the table, fingers tapping against the map. “We’ve got movement,” she began, her voice steady but low, the tension riding under her words. “Matches Cross Blood activity. Remote site. Thirty miles out — old industrial zone, tucked in the forest. Energy readings are off the charts. Heavy electronic jamming, just like the last one.”Mira’s eyes narrowed. “Presidential intel backs this up?”Ivy gave a short nod. “Confirmed. Surveillance drones caught enough. It’s anothe

    The presidential banquet was already in full swing by the time Adam and Mira entered the grand hall.The room was nothing short of extravagant. The crystal chandeliers sparkled overhead, casting a soft golden glow across the polished marble floors. A live orchestra played softly in the background, and servers in crisp uniforms moved elegantly through the crowd, offering glasses of wine and hors d'oeuvres.Only the country’s top elites were present.Military generals, powerful politicians, corporate moguls, and foreign diplomats filled the room. Their tailored suits and glittering jewelry were a silent display of wealth and influence. Conversations buzzed around the hall, most of them carefully measured and polite.However, the moment Adam walked in beside Mira, the atmosphere shifted subtly.Many of the guests paused mid-sentence, their eyes drifting toward him. Some looked curious, a few frowned in confusion, while others quickly whispered among themselves.Unlike the others, Adam’s

    The rain hadn’t stopped, but neither had the engines.Ray City, Presidential District. The convoy cut through the night, blacked-out SUVs trailing behind as they approached the heart of national power.President Ryan Crowne stood by the window of the presidential suite, watching the armored vehicles roll in. His reflection stared back—gray at the temples, eyes sharp from years navigating war, politics, and survival.But tonight, there was no hiding the relief on his face.The door opened. His daughter, pale but alive, was wheeled in—her weak eyes locking onto her father’s.Ryan crossed the room in seconds, kneeling beside her. “You’re safe,” he whispered, voice thick. “You’re safe because of him.”Behind them, Adam stepped in.Combat boots. Plain dark clothes. His expression unreadable, his presence undeniable—for those with the sense to feel it.President Ryan straightened, extending a hand. “You’ve done more than I can repay, General.”Adam shook his hands with a nod. "It's my duty,

    Across the black waters of Ray City Bay, buried beneath the earth like a sleeping beast, alarms screamed.Cross Blood Headquarters.Steel walls reinforced with cultivation-grade alloys. Surveillance grids pulsing. Soldiers everywhere—armed, armored, eyes hard behind their masks.But none of them were the true threat.No—the real monsters stirred below.In a darkened war room, lit only by flickering holo-screens, General Voren stood like a shadow made flesh. His black armor gleamed with crimson sigils—the mark of one of the Seven Heads of Cross Blood.Footage looped across the largest screen.One man. No weapons. Only his fists.Tearing through Cross Blood soldiers like they were nothing but glass in a storm.Voren’s eyes narrowed, molten red pupils glowing brighter with every frame.The officer beside him was pale. Voice trembling. “He… he wiped out the entire convoy. Neutralized two strike teams. Intercepted the transport… rescued the girl.”Voren didn’t blink.Another officer whispe

    Adam had already set the silver squad at their Target location.His eyes locked onto the convoy below—a fleet of matte-black transport trucks rolling down the abandoned industrial highway, escorted by armed guards in reinforced armor.“Project Phantom,” Adam muttered, perched atop a crumbling radio tower.Through the scope of his rifle, he could see them. Dozens of soldiers. No insignias, no faces—just masks and modified gear.Cross Blood's elite.Behind him, a faint voice crackled through his earpiece.“Visual confirmed. Squad in position.”It was Ivy. Cold. Sharp. Reliable.Adam didn’t flinch. His voice stayed steady. “We take the transport at sector seven. No witnesses. Get ready.”A low hum filled the air as Mira’s voice came next, buried in static. “EMP is ready. Say the word.”Below, the lead truck carried something dangerous.Adam’s intel was clear—the prototype wasn’t human.Modified. Engineered. Enhanced.But what chilled him most wasn’t what was inside…It was the faint memo
