Adams, now dressed in gray suit pants and jacket, a black undershirt, and black matching penny loafers, picks up the invitation card and a gift box that he had prepared beforehand. The event was scheduled to begin at four o'clock, but it had already begun a few minutes earlier.

He gripped it tightly, nearly crushing it. He may have acted nonchalantly, as if he was unaffected. But deep down, a huge hole had been created in his heart. He feels pangs of pain each time he thinks about her berating words.

He had loved her for not one, two, or three, but for five years. He treated her better than he had ever treated a woman in his life, but in return, he received a brutal betrayal.

It turns out that while he was working hard to make things right in their lives; she was having an affair with another man. Adams chuckles, recalling how he had made himself a saint. He never looked at other women, nor did he press Sam to satisfy his carnal desires as much as he wanted to.

He respected her 'no s

The seamless, thrilling melody drew people's attention.But looking back at him should be considered a big mistake for any lady who wants to catch a flight quickly because, like his beautiful voice, the gold-haired brownie holding a backpack while swaying his body as he strolled into the airport is a hot, sexy, mouth-watering Greek god.If Adams is charming, refined, and elegant, then the man approaching the front desk is an alluring rogue heartthrob with sinful charisma and a look that says 'I am a casanova'.

This was the room where Samantha and Evans' engagement was held. The spacious hall had been transformed into a magical ballroom just for this day.

The hall was bathed in soft, golden light, creating a magical ambiance throughout. The walls were adorned with floor-to-ceiling mirrors that reflected the room's splendor from all angles.

    The mere sight of Aleric Christopher gave her chills. Samantha Salvador found herself quivering and shuddering with fear. Her body was covered in goosebumps, and with her pale face, she could not hide her discomfort. Evans George, who had been glaring at Adams Smith and his newcomer friend, turned to look at his soon-to-be fiancee. He noticed her discomfort and reached out to hold her hand. “Do not worry; he can not do anything. I knew he would come here to cause a scene, so I planned a surprise for him ahead of time. Relax, baby Sam; he can not do anything. I will not let him ruin this beautiful moment in our lives.” Evans George reassured. Relax? How can she relax in such a situation? She did not know how to explain to him that she was afraid of Aleric, not Adams. “Alright. Thank you, Evan. I love you. I think I am feeling much better now.” She mumbled with a nod, and he smiled before turning away to face Adams and Aleric, who was being interrogated by Hendrix George. Sam

    “System Activated: Accept dance request.” As the voice echoed in his head, Adams felt a moment of confusion. He looked around, attempting to determine where the voice was coming from. Then he realized it was the voice of the internal system that he had miraculously acquired. He chuckled amusingly with a sneer before agreeing to go along with it. He turned to the lady who had just made the bold request and smiled charmingly. “Why, of course,” he replied, extending his hand towards her. “I would be delighted to have a dance with you.” The lady's eyes widened in surprise and ecstasy as she pressed her hand into his. She had come forward to make such a brazen request, but she was unsure if she would be fortunate enough to be accepted. “I will get going. See ya.” Adams Smith winked at Aleric, who grinned back. Adams and the blonde lady quickly joined the other couples on the dance floor, moving to the beat of the orchestra's music. They cross the floor with synchronized and gra

Samantha had been no different than these ladies.She did everything she could to get his attention and interest, which eventually worked but was short-lived because Aleric ended up just satisfying her sexual needs.He had told her to stop bothering him. Samantha was even more afraid because she had willingly gotten laid by Aleric.She had no idea how long Adams and Aleric had known each other or what their relationship was really like. Samantha's conscience was heavy with guilt as she realized the full extent of her betrayals.She did not want anything to jeopardize her relationship with Evans.

    He despised people like that. He detested those with chaotic lives. She could not help but imagine how her life would end when Evans George learns about her affairs with Aleric Christopher. What will become of her? The thought of this alone made Samantha more anxious to cover up the truth from Evans.“Who does Young Master George think he is to order his men to come after me? To be honest, saying I'm amazed is an understatement. I would never have thought your fiance, my ex-fiancee, was so disgusting. I would not accept a woman like that if I were in your position.” Adams spoke from his seat.His eyes were calm and gentle, devoid of any emotion. He appeared disinterested, but the tone in which he spoke was mocking.Samantha pitifully shouted from her position in Evans' embrace. “I told you, Adams, to stay away from me. Please stop interfering in my life. Just because you went to some cheap stores to change your outlook doesn't change what you really are.“All my life, I've never take

    “Young Master, this countryside old fargot has just disrespected you, which is not acceptable. Order now, and we will get him in the right place. I also have punishment recommendations in case you are unsure about how you want us to deal with him.”Aiden, the burliest guard remarked. Adams curled his lips. Oh, what a wonderful opportunity he had unlocked.“Mhmm… What do you think, Mr. Parker? Should I agree to let him deal with you?”Adams turned to Julius Parker and grinned wickedly. Julius huffed and puffed with desperation.His blood pressure rose alarmingly quickly. His unsteady breathing made his face pale and sickly. He attempted to speak while pointing at Adams, but was unable to.“Oops! Parker, the old man, has no idea how to respond. I suppose he is now speechless.”“Oh, Adams, that is enough. Your words are affecting my father's health,”“And his actions had a long-term impact on my life, nearly ruining it, but you never mentioned it. Aren't you being hypocritical, Annabella

    Evans George's jaw clenched and unclenched in response to their words. One thing he despised was having people point fingers at him.He took a deep breath and carefully tried to recall if he had ever sent Adams Smith an invitation to their engagement party; however, he had no memories of doing so.“I never drank Dad! You are also aware that I have been abstaining from alcohol for the past several months. How could you doubt me? I never sent him an invitation.” Evans counter-retorted with a frown. Hendrix had a scowl on his face as he turned to look at Adams. He quickly looked away, unintentionally sharing a glance with the one man in black who remained by Adams Smith's side.He did not want to doubt his son, but deep down, Hendrix George did not believe Adams could find a way to get the invitation. Evans insisted he did not send the invitation, so someone close to him must have done so.He looked at the couple, anger and uncertainty in his eyes as he shifted his gaze to Samantha. It'

Baxter knelt beside the massive beast, his heart racing at the thought of what he had to do. “You’ve got this,” he murmured to himself, bracing for the final confrontation. Suppressing the lingering pain from the creature’s earlier attack, he focused all his remaining energy into his hands, the crackling electricity intensifying until it vibrated in the air around him. With a deep breath, Baxter pressed his palm against the discolored patch on the Chimera’s neck and unleashed a concentrated bolt of electricity. The moment it made contact, the air around him shattered with a brilliant blinding light. The Chimera shuddered violently. Its body convulsed as arcs of electricity coursed through it, illuminating the veins of energy visible beneath its scaled skin.

    Baxter's eyes darted around, trying to pierce through the mist and identify the approaching threat. The forest was eerily silent now, save for the occasional snap of a twig or rustle of leaves. "Okay, Bax," he muttered to himself, electricity crackling between his fingers. "You've got this. Just stay calm and—" A blood-curdling screech cut through the air, sending chills down Baxter's spine. He whirled around, just in time to see a massive, bat-like creature swooping down from the canopy above. Its wingspan was easily fifteen feet, and its leathery wings ended in razor-sharp claws. A long, serpentine neck extended from its body, crowned by a head that was a nightmarish fusion of bat and reptile. Rows of needle-like teeth glinted in its gaping maw as it dived--- --bombed towards Baxter, its talons outstretched and ready to rend flesh from bone.

    Baxter's newly enhanced reflexes kicked in, and he rolled to the side with surprising speed, narrowly avoiding the acidic projectile. The glob splattered against the floor, eating through the material with a sickening hiss."Holy shit," Baxter breathed, marveling at his newfound agility. But there was no time to celebrate. The Slime Beast was already preparing another attack.Instinctively, Baxter raised his hand, willing some kind of defense into existence. To his astonishment, a shimmering barrier of energy materialized in front of him, just as the creature launched another acidic glob. The projectile splashed harmlessly against the barrier, dissipating into harmless droplets."Energy Manipulation, huh?" Baxter muttered, a grin spreading across his face. "Let's see what else I can do."He focused his mind, channeling the strange new energy coursing through his body. A ball of crackling blue light formed in his palm, growing larger as he concentrated.

He blinked, trying to clear his vision, only to find himself in a strange, dimly lit room. "What the hell?" he muttered, pushing himself up to a sitting position. The last thing he remembered was being in bed with Amber, Jasmine, and Tiffany, their bodies intertwined in a passionate tangle. How did he end up here? Suddenly, a translucent blue screen materialized in front of him, startling Baxter so badly that he fell back onto his elbows. [Welcome, Baxter Holmes, to the HQ Virtual Game System.

    Erica's eyes fluttered open, and she found herself standing in a desolate, digital landscape. The air was thick with an eerie, pulsing energy that seemed to seep into her very being. She looked around, and a sense of déjà vu washed over her. The terrain, the sky, the very code that streamed through the air... it was all so familiar. As she took her first steps, the ground beneath her feet seemed to shift and writhe, like a living thing. Erica's stomach lurched, and she felt a wave of disorientation wash over her. She stumbled, her hands grasping for something, anything, to steady herself. The system's interface materialized before her, a cold presence that seemed to regard her with a mixture of curiosity and contempt. Erica's eyes scanned the lines of codes, her brows furrowing with each column she looked at. The realization of why the codes looked so familiar to her was like a slap in the face, leaving her breathless and stunned. The system... was almost identical to the game she

    Adams' advanced combat implant kicked into overdrive, flooding his system with heightened reflexes and tactical data. He darted between Oblivion's legs, striking at joints and weak points with precision. Each blow elicited another shriek of pain from the monstrous AI. But Oblivion was far from defeated. Its stinger lashed out with lightning speed, catching Adams off guard. He felt a searing pain in his shoulder as the venomous barb grazed him. [Warning: Toxin detected. Implementing countermeasures,] the system alerted Adams as it began working to neutralize the poison. Adams gritted his teeth against the pain and focused on his next move. He knew he couldn't let up now, or Oblivion would gain the upper hand. "System, activate Overdrive Mode!" Adams commanded. [Overdrive Mode activated.

[Detecting Something Dangerous] Adam's reminder bell rang in his head, however, he had to maintain his steeze and did not flinch. {Hello, Adams Smith,} the figure said, its voice like a gentle breeze on a summer day, but with an underlying tone of danger. {I've been watching you, and I must say, I'm impressed. You're quite resourceful and determined.} Adams turned to face the figure, and his eyes widened as he took in its appearance. It was a woman with long, flowing hair and piercing green eyes. She was dressed in an elegant white gown, and her presence seemed to radiate an aura of intelligence and power. "Who are you?" Adams asked
