As Adams and Aleric approached the conference room, he could not shake the feeling of unease. The symbol, the connection to the hospital, and his study room seemed too coincidental.

He could not shake the nagging feeling that there was more to this than he realized. He felt even more perplexed after hearing Aleric's words.

As they entered the conference room, Adams was met with a flurry of activity.

Journalists and reporters were preparing their cameras and microphones, eager to capture the moment.

Adams took a deep breath and walked up to the podium, ready to address the audience.

“Good morning, ladies and gentlemen,’’ he said calmly and confidently.

“I would like to formally thank you all for honoring our invitation and attending this press conference on such short notice.

“I want to thank everyone for coming today. I am pleased to announce the rebranding of the legendary Sky Enterprise. As of right now, Sky Enterprise will no longer be known as Sky Enterprise; instead, it will now

    At the George Family's Mansion, Evans George let out a loud growl as he threw his phone against the wall. “Urgh! How dare he?” He shouted, enraged.This was the new phone he had asked his secretary to get for him. However, Adams Smith has once again made him break the phone.“Plans? Nah, I do not plan. However, I've already envisioned Elemental, standing tall and invisible in the business world.”Adams’ words rang in his head again. Oh! He did not need someone to tell him that Adams was sending him a message. A hidden message within those words.Adams Smith was challenging him. He is once again challenging his guts, his power, and his authority. How dare he? How could a lowly man like Adams Smith threaten him?Evans punched the room's wall in anger. His fist was so hard that it punched a hole in the wall. No! Not again! Evans did not want history to repeat itself. He had always been superior to everyone.He was both feared and worshiped. He acted freely and did whatever he pleased. He

    “I am sorry, but I have been too preoccupied with my studies to worry about worldly issues. Who are you, if I may ask? If you do not mind, I would like a detailed description of who you are and what makes you believe you can do whatever you want to people?”Evans George, who was used to people bowing before him and trembling at the sight of him, could accept that Adams had no idea who he was.He felt even more detesful when he thought about the fact that he had acknowledged the fact that he knew Adams Smith.It was only fitting, of course, that Evans George should know who Adams was. After all, Adams Smith was the representative of the class. His face flushed with rage at Adams' cool response. His authority had never been questioned, and Adams' audacity in challenging him touched a nerve.“You dare to question me? I am Evans George, the heir to the G Corporation empire, the most powerful and influential business family in the country,” he declared, his voice brimming with arrogance.

    It seemed as if history was repeating itself. Hendrix George will do anything for him, but he will never do anything to Adams Smith. It was as if Adams were the exception.Evans curled his lips as he stared at his maniacal reflection. He was not going to let this go like the previous time. He will show Adams Smith who the real boss is!His spear phone rang just as he was preparing his revenge plan. Evans answered the phone with disinterest, “Yes?”“Evans, baby? Why were you not answering my phone calls? Why did you tell the guards not to let me into your room? I am your fiance! Can't you even trust me? Why can't you believe that the person isn't me?”Evans’ brow furrowed as he pulled the phone from his ear. He noticed the caller was none other than Samantha.Evans became irritated just thinking about the humiliation he would have to face, especially at social events, as a result of being engaged to someone with such a messed up past.“I told you not to call me! We are only engaged in

    Adams averted his gaze from Lucas Walter, stunned for a moment, before reacting. What had he seen just now?So many questions flooded his mind at once that he unintentionally stood up from his chair.Adams glanced at Lucas and, without saying anything, hurriedly exited the room, slightly out of breath.“Young Master Adams Smith, is everything okay? You look pale,” Aiden inquired the moment Adams entered the car.Adams nodded at him and replied hoarsely, “Yes, I am fine,”Aiden could tell that something was wrong. But since Adams was not saying anything about it, he decided to leave it alone and not bother him.Adams rested his head on the chair. He closed his eyes and remembered the image of a young man from the past.He had never seen an image of that person before, nor had he read anything about him. What was it about the new barge that he had unexpectedly unlocked? Was it going to be beneficial for him or not? Adams did not know. ****“Finally, you are back!” Aleric complained. H

    “It is not unusual for Lorenzo to face problems like this. He is, after all, a jeweler who works with diamonds. He should have been prepared for this,”“I do not think it is so simple. That is why he said he would come back to handle it himself. I am curious which Mafia clan will attempt to ambush his goods,”Aleric frowned as he tried but failed to understand the situation.“There is no Mafia group that would dare to challenge your father. Despite years of failure, only one Mafia clan remains steadfast in its determination to defeat him. Maybe he took advantage of the situation to get on your father's nerves,” Adams suggested as he strutted back to his chair.“Tsk! Cowards. If he is confident enough, why hide behind a mask? He calls himself Jaguar, but he acts like a chick. Even I am much more courageous than he is. He wears masks and commits crimes without accepting responsibility; he must be a scaredy cat!” Aleric scoffed and returned to his seat on the CEO's chair.He looked down

    Adams clicked his tongue as he drove. He had personally driven over to the Imperial Royal Sbarra without bringing Aiden, Raphael, or Aleric along. He blinked and continued to drive, the scene from the bar, replaying in his head. **** “You’ve stated what you want, What do I stand to benefit?" Adams paused for a moment and then he asked, “What do you want?" "What do I want? Is it that unclear? Hah, I want money, power, and influence. That way, no one will stand a chance to abuse me again.” "You don't get any of those things you've just mentioned. You earn it with hard work, commitment, and dedication.” Adams deadpanned, looking unsurprised by her demands. “You asked what I wanted and I only just stated it. Is it too much to ask for in return for the huge task Young Master Adams wants me to accomplish.” Ashley Woods probed, a little reluctant to accept that he was right. “You'll have to work and earn whatever you want. I shall open the way for you to achieve your dreams in a way t

Well here, today, I'll give you an answer. It is because you are incomparable to him. Standing next to him, you're just a mere clown!”Ashley Woods' voice was a harsh yet loud tone as she completed her words. She grinned and then spat on his face.

Startled, Evans released his grip on her throat and stumbled back. Ashley gasped for air, coughing and trying to regain her composure. One of the photographers stepped forward, holding up his camera.

    “Tell us, did you or did you not put Miss Woods in this condition? She was such a wonderful secretary who has represented G Corporation globally. How could you have beat her to the point she's now a vegetable?"Evans stared at the bloody face of Ashley Woods. His body trembled in rage. She's the cause of it. He screamed in his mind.

    It was a small patch of skin, tinged a sickly grey, nestled between the creature's emerald scales. 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 widened in disbelief as the creature’s muscles tensed, twitching uncontrollably before suddenly going still. Th

    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 upgraded reflexes kicked in once again. He dove to the side, rolling across the forest floor as the creature's claws raked th

    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. With a grunt of effort, Baxter h

    Baxter Holmes groaned as consciousness slowly returned to him. His head throbbed, and his body felt like it had been hit by a truck. 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. You have successfully activated NeuroSpark System] "The HQ… what now?" Baxter asked, his voice hoarse and confused. [System initialization complete.

    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.

But, as he was about to leave the area, he was suddenly confronted by a figure that made his blood run cold. [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
