Chapter 699
Lord Venom strode to Adam’s right side and stood there like a wall.On the other side, Gina’s blade gleamed faintly.Venom lifted his arm and pointed straight at the cluster of Elders and Gods of War who had switched sides earlier.“And you lot,” he thundered. “Why are you still standing? On your knees. Now.”The accusation hit harder than any strike.The Elders stiffened.Some clenched their fists. Others avoided eye contact. A few instinctively took half a step back.They were trapped.They had already knelt to Gunther. Some had even sworn blood oaths. Turning now would make them double traitors. If Gunther won, they would not just die. They would suffer.But if they refused and Adam reclaimed his throne, their fate would be worse.Sweat rolled down foreheads that had not known fear in decades.They glanced at one another, silently calculating.Who would move first?No one wanted to be the example.Their strength was not trivial. Between them were dozens of grandmasters. The balance

The hall went silent.The only sound left was the uneven rhythm of people trying to breathe.Judas’ body lay twisted on the stone floor, eyes wide, blood pooling beneath him. A single exhale. That was all it had taken.One breath.One life erased.No one moved.Mouths hung open. Faces drained of color. Even the battle-hardened Gods of War stared as if the world had cracked open in front of them.Gunther stood frozen at the top of the steps.For the first time since seizing control, the confidence on his face was gone.His lips parted slightly, his expression stiff, as if he had swallowed something too large to process.The man in the trench coat flicked ash from his cigarette.The soft tap of ash hitting the floor sounded louder than a thunderclap.Then he removed his sunglasses.Gasps spread through the hall.“Gunther.” His voice was calm, almost bored. “Didn’t expect to see me again so soon, did you?”As he spoke, two men hurried forward, carrying a carved chair from the side of the

Brielle stood among the inner circle, hands folded neatly in front of her.Normally, she would have been the first to smile, the first to flatter whoever held power. That was how she survived. That was how she climbed.But today, she said nothing.Her eyes stayed fixed on Gunther.More precisely, on the thought of his marriage to Tessa.The announcement had spread like wildfire days ago. Celestial Master Thorne and Tessa Armand. A union of power and beauty. A perfect match, they said.Brielle’s nails dug into her palms.She had worked for years to get close to that position. To be seen. To be chosen. And now it was gone. Handed to Tessa.So for once, she did not rush to kneel.In fact, a small, ugly part of her hoped someone would tear this celebration apart.“Ptooey!” Gina’s furious voice cut through the tension. “Elsa, you were once the Supreme General’s woman and his most trusted subordinate. And now you switch sides and act righteous? Do you feel no shame?”Ese stepped forward, fa

Lord Venom’s roar shook the shattered pillars of the hall.“Gunther, you snake. The Mr. Manchester raised you from nothing. He made you Deputy Chief. Gave you power. Gave you respect. And you repay him like this. You are lower than a beast.”Gunther stood at the top of the black stone steps, hands clasped behind his back as if this were a ceremony instead of a coup. His lips curved into a cold smile.“Hmph. Spare me the righteousness. He crippled my son and called it discipline. You expect gratitude?” His gaze swept across the gathered Elders and Gods of War. “The old order was weak. Sentimental. Supreme Nexus needed a stronger hand. My rise was inevitable.”His voice deepened.“I value talent. Every one of you standing here still has a choice. Kneel. Swear loyalty to me. Forget the past. I will reward the wise and spare the obedient.”The air went heavy.“You think we would bow to you?” Gina stepped forward. Steel sang as she drew her curved blade. The edge caught the torchlight and

“That bastard Adam sure has a talent for surrounding himself with beautiful women,” Gunther sneered, swirling the wine in his glass. “But what does it matter? In the end, every woman he touches becomes a benefit to me.”He leaned back in his seat, lips curling into a lecherous grin.“Go to the Bailey family and the Montclair family. Bring those women here—alive and unspoiled. I want to enjoy them slowly.”“Yes, sir!” Nathaniel answered without hesitation, bowing deeply before turning and leaving at once.Once, Nathaniel had stood shoulder to shoulder with Gunther—equals in status and strength.But those days were long gone.Since Gunther had seized control of Supreme Nexus and ascended as its new master, his power had expanded at a terrifying pace. With every breakthrough, the gap between them widened. Nathaniel, once proud and independent, had been reduced to nothing more than a loyal hound.Power decided everything in this world.Soon after, the grand wedding ceremony officially. G

Being violated by Adam was a scar Sasha carried deep in her soul—a wound that time had never managed to heal. The memory haunted her like a curse, resurfacing at the quietest moments, dragging her back into rage and humiliation.As long as Adam lived, she would never truly be at peace.“It’s a pity I couldn’t kill you with my own hands,” Sasha thought bitterly, her lips curving into faint smile.Her gaze drifted toward Tessa.For the briefest moment, jealousy flickered in her eyes.Sasha had always been confident in her beauty. From childhood to adulthood, she had been praised, admired, and coveted. No woman had ever made her feel inferior—until now. Standing beside Tessa, she was forced to admit a truth she despised: in sheer, natural beauty, she fell just a step behind.That realization left a sour taste in her mouth.Still, her expression remained composed as she spoke, her tone light and courteous. “Celestial Master Thorne, you are truly fortunate. Your bride is exceptionally beau
