Tessa’s frustration was evident as she glanced back at the fallen bodyguards lining the hallway. "You’re the one who injured them, so they won’t be too much trouble for me. But you—if you don’t leave now, they’ll find you before you can even get out of the city."

Adam nodded, his face serious. "Alright. Take care of yourself, Tessa."

"Just go," she insisted, her voice softer, almost reluctant. "Before it's too late."

Adam cast one last look at her, his gaze lingering. "I will. But… don’t let anyone push you around. You deserve better than all this."

He wasn't scared of Wilfred or the Darkclaw, they were only a small fries. Stacey had recently informed him that many powerful underground organizations had arrived in Storm City, after the news of the amulet in his custody was revealed. Some may be even after his life.

Tessa swallowed, unsure of how to respond. Before she could find the words, Adam turned and left, disappearing into the corridor. She exhaled a heavy sigh, a mixture of rel

    Dracula unleashed a flurry of heavy punches, each one laced with surging divine energy. The pressure alone forced Adam to retreat several steps, his feet skidding across the shattered ground.The instant Dracula caught the longsword Selena had thrown, his aura changed.A cold, murderous edge burst forth.Without hesitation, Dracula slashed downward, the blade slicing through the air with a shrill screech, as though space itself were being torn apart.Adam had already anticipated this.With a sharp flick of his wrist, he drew a short, razor-edged dagger from his waist and brought it up to meet the strike.Clang!The collision of steel rang out like a church bell struck by thunder. Sparks exploded outward in all directions, scattering like blazing fireflies in the night.The impact forced both men back half a step.In the next instant, they lunged forward again.Blade met blade.Slash after slash tore through the air as the two engaged in a deadly exchange. Their weapons danced at terri

    “Dracula, you’re a renowned divine grandmaster,” Adam sneered, his gaze sharp and unyielding. “Do you even dare to fight me one-on-one?”Dracula laughed, slow and contemptuous. He clasped his hands behind his back, radiating supreme confidence. “Why wouldn’t I? Come. Let me see what gives you the courage to bark so loudly.”Adam drew a deep breath. There was no retreat left, no trick to buy time. If he wanted to live, he had to carve a path with his fists.With a sharp shout, Adam struck first.His fist shot forward like a cannonball, spiritual energy roaring to life around it. The air screamed as it compressed, rippling violently as though space itself were trembling under the force.Dracula snorted in disdain and met the punch head-on.Boom!The collision sounded like thunder splitting the heavens. A shockwave exploded outward, shattering pebbles and ripping shallow grooves into the asphalt beneath their feet. The night air churned violently as if a storm had been born in that insta

    “I guess I’m just that hard to kill. Even the Grim Reaper doesn’t want me,” Adam said lightly, forcing a lazy smile onto his face.Outwardly, he appeared calm—almost indifferent—but inside, his mind was racing.This was bad. Very bad.He hadn’t yet stepped into the Divine Realm. While his dual cultivation allowed him to fight opponents stronger than himself, the gulf between a grandmaster and a divine grandmaster was like the difference between a stream and an ocean. One divine grandmaster alone was already terrifying. Two standing together meant certain death—at least by conventional logic.And before him stood not just two divine grandmasters, but two ruthless ones who wanted him dead.Dracula let out a low, mocking chuckle. “You are lucky, I’ll give you that. But luck only carried you this far because we were careless. If we had blown your brains out back then, you wouldn’t be standing here today.”His eyes hardened, killing intent pouring out like a tangible fog. “We won’t make th

    Zia reacted instantly, stomping hard on the accelerator. The engine roared as the speedometer climbed rapidly—160… 170… then past 180 miles per hour.Fortunately, the highway was nearly empty at this hour. With long stretches of open road ahead, it wasn’t as dangerous as it seemed. Moreover, Zia wasn’t an ordinary driver. As a practitioner, her reflexes, eyesight, and judgment far surpassed those of normal people. Her hands were steady on the steering wheel, her eyes locked onto the road ahead as she maneuvered with precision.But no matter how much she pushed the car, the distance between them and their pursuers refused to widen.“They’re keeping up,” Zia said through clenched teeth, glancing at the rearview mirror. Two cars followed relentlessly, maintaining formation as if they were tethered by an invisible thread.Adam’s expression remained calm, but his eyes grew colder. “They’re prepared,” he said flatly. “This won’t end with a chase.”Before Zia could respond, a massive glare s

    Despite Lucian’s best efforts to conceal it, Adam still caught the fleeting murderous glint in his eyes. It vanished as quickly as it appeared, but Adam didn’t miss it. He simply snorted inwardly and dismissed it.He had never been someone who bullied the innocent. He wouldn’t strike those who hadn’t wronged him—but if someone dared to hurt him or scheme against him, he would return the favor tenfold. That had always been his principle.And in this matter, it was the Jagos who had crossed the line first.If Lucian or his family sought revenge later, Adam would not hesitate to respond.“Mr. Manchester,” Dante said after Lucian and Sasha left, lowering his voice, “now that you have the phoenix blood herb, perhaps we should head home immediately.”Adam glanced at the window, noting the darkening sky. “It’s already late. We’ll leave tomorrow.”Dante hesitated, clearly conflicted, before speaking again. “Mr. Manchester, forgive my bluntness, but I’m worried the Jagos won’t take this lying

    “What if you escape the moment I let go of you?” Adam replied calmly, his tone unhurried yet firm. “Let’s wait for your father to enter. If he truly shows up with the phoenix blood herb, I’ll release you immediately.”Sasha’s heart pounded. She dared not struggle again, afraid that even the slightest resistance would provoke him. All she could do was cling to his chest, her body stiff with humiliation and dread.At that moment, the door opened.Dante stepped aside respectfully as Lucian entered the bedroom.The instant Lucian’s eyes landed on the bed, his blood boiled. His daughter was lying in Adam’s arms, both of them dressed in thin nightwear, their posture intimate enough to make any father’s vision go red. For a split second, killing intent surged violently within him.Sasha, overcome with shame and panic, buried her face into Adam’s chest, too afraid to meet her father’s gaze.“Mr. Jago,” Adam said leisurely, as though the scene before them was nothing out of the ordinary.
