Lilith nodded, curious about what Adam had to say. She sensed that it was important, and the fact that he had only asked Aria to leave and not her made her think that it might be something dangerous.

Adam leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees and clasping his hands together. His brow furrowed as he fixed Lilith with an intense gaze. "Lilith, I need to discuss something important with you. It's about increasing our family's status and influence, rapidly, within the next month."

Lilith tilted her head, intrigued by the seriousness in Adam's tone and posture. She glanced over at Sarah, who looked back at her with raised eyebrows and a puzzled expression. Lilith turned back to Adam and nodded slowly.

"Alright, I'm listening," she said. "What exactly did you have in mind?"

Adam took a deep breath. "You're familiar with Roderick Heinz's exclusive monthly party, right? The parties that only the cream of high society get invited to?"

"Of course," Lilith replied, her curiosity growi

    The next morning, the Reed family's residence was bustling with activity. The living room had been temporarily redesigned to accommodate Aria's parents, with comfortable chairs and a coffee table set with fresh flowers and a selection of pastries.Adam had spared no expense in making sure that everything was perfect. He wanted to make a good impression, to show Aria's parents that he was serious about their daughter.The family was in high spirits as they bustled around, making final preparations. Sarah was in the kitchen, taking care of the last minute cooking, while Rachel checked over the decorations one more time.Meanwhile, Rosalind and Lilith were outside in the backyard, enjoying the warm sunshine and chatting idly. It wasn't that they didn't want to help, it was just that they knew that if they did, they would only end up making things worse. Especially when it came to Rosalind. She was always getting into scraps, breaking things, and causing chaos wherever she went.On the ot

    Miguel offered a warm, approving nod, his gaze lingering on the young man before him. "Yes, he is. His name is Juan and he comes from a good family. My friends spoke highly of him, and I think he'll make a good match for you."Aria studied Juan, who seemed shy but polite. "It's nice to meet you."Juan managed a small smile, clearly nervous. "It's nice to meet you too, Aria. You look more beautiful in person than in your photos."Aria smiled, but didn't blush or act shy. She had made a decision after she started a relationship with Adam. She decided that she would not be flattered by compliments from other men, as she was committed to Adam and didn't want to give anyone the wrong impression.Miguel continued, "Juan is a successful businessman and is well-respected in his community. We think he'll be able to provide for you and give you a good life."Rhonda added, "And he seems like a very nice young man. We had a chance to talk to him earlier and he was very polite and respectful."Ari

    Miguel's heart raced as Juan's words sank in. He couldn't believe that the man he had made a deal with would be so callous as to expose their agreement in front of his own daughter. Miguel's eyes darted between Juan and Aria, his mind racing as he tried to think of a way to salvage the situation.At the same time, Aria's face was frozen in shock as she stared at her father. Her breathing became shallow and rapid. She didn't need to be a genius to interpret Juan's words. The message was crystal clear.Meanwhile, Juan stood calmly, his eyes fixed on Miguel, waiting to hear his response. He knew that he had the upper hand in the situation, and he wasn't afraid to use it.Somehow, Miguel seems to have managed to pull himself together. He said, "What are you talking about? We had an agreement–"But Juan cut him off. "Our agreement was based on the assumption that Aria would agree to marry me. Since that's not happening, I have no reason to keep it."Miguel swallowed hard, trying to steady

    Miguel froze, his hand still raised in mid-air. He turned to see Adam standing in the doorway, his eyes fixed on him. Adam strode across the room towards Aria, who was curled up in her chair."Are you okay?" Adam asked gently, taking Aria's hand in his. "Did he hurt you?"Aria looked up at Adam, relief and fear both evident in her eyes. "No, I'm okay. He didn't hit me."Adam turned to Miguel, his expression dark. "You have some nerve, coming into my home and raising your hand to your own daughter."Miguel began to back away, his eyes darting around the room as though looking for an escape route. "I-I didn't mean to... I was just... I'm sorry," he stammered, his voice barely audible.Rhonda, who had been silent until now, spoke up."Wait," she said. "Adam. You said Aria was your woman. Are you... her boyfriend?"Adam looked at Rhonda, a flicker of something passing through his eyes. "Yes, she is."Rhonda's eyes widened in surprise, and she shot a quick glance at Miguel, who seemed equ

    Adam smiled because he could read Miguel's true motivation behind his words. Miguel was eager to receive the dowry from the marriage, and he needed it desperately.So Adam said, "Don't worry, Mr. Vasquez. Aria and I will work on getting married as soon as possible."Miguel's face lit up with a wide grin. "That's great news! I can't wait to see you two get married and start a family."Adam smiled again, and decided to take matters into his own hands. He knew that Miguel's desperation for money was causing him to become too involved in Aria's business, and he needed to put a stop to it.So he said, "Mr. Vasquez, I want to assure you that Aria and I are committed to making this work. In fact, to show you how serious I am, I'm prepared to offer a $10 million engagement dowry."Hearing that, Miguel and Rhonda were left speechless. They couldn't believe their ears. Had they heard correctly? Adam was offering a $10 million dowry for the engagement?Miguel himself felt his mind racing with po

    Adam's eyes bulged in surprise at the name. The Mad Oracle? He had heard of him before, but only as a myth, a legend that people told children to scare them. He couldn't believe that this person actually existed, let alone that Lilith had managed to make contact with him."So, how do we find him?" Adam asked.From Adam's reaction and expression, Lilith could tell that the Mad Oracle shouldn't be Adam's mentor. Then who was Adam's mentor if not the Mad Oracle? Isn't it only the Mad Oracle who can perform healing like Adam?Lilith said, "My great-great-grandfather once helped the Mad Oracle when he was in need many years ago. In return, the Mad Oracle promised to provide one favor to our family. Since the Mad Oracle can only help once, we agreed as a family that we would only contact him in the most desperate of times. And now, I think we can use that favor to help you."Adam was stunned as he listened to Lilith's story. Great-great-grandfather? Wasn't that several generations ago? How

    Adam scratched his head. He could not possibly tell his mom about the Supreme System. It was his greatest secret, and he didn't even know if it was safe to share with anyone. But one thing was for sure. No one could know about it, and even if he did tell her, she wouldn't believe him.How would he tell her anyway? Would he have to say, "By chance, I was granted the Supreme System, the ultimate gift of the universe. That's how I got my abilities."If he said that, his mom would probably say that he should have thought of something smarter and more plausible if he wanted to lie.As adam thought, Sarah was looking at him expectantly, and it made Adam realize that he needed to tell her something. So he decided to share a bit of the truth, without revealing too much."Well, like I said," Adam began, carefully crafting his words. "My mentor doesn't want to be known, but I can tell you that he's not part of the Seven Hidden Hands."Sarah looked at Adam, her eyes searching his face for any hi

    Sarah couldn't believe what she was hearing. Her son, who had always been so cautious and methodical in his approach to life, was now talking about moving to one of the most dangerous countries in the world to pursue some vague potential. It seemed like he was throwing away everything he had worked so hard for."What about us?" Sarah finally asked. "Do you want us to come with you?"Adam looked at his mother with a thoughtful expression. "I'd love to, but I don't want to force you guys. This is a big decision, and I want Mom and Rachel to make your own decisions."Sarah nodded slowly. She couldn't imagine leaving this city and everything she knew to move to a dangerous place like Tyria. Yet, at the same time, she wanted to support her son and his dreams."I need some time to think about it," Sarah said, before continuing, "so, what are you going to do now?"Adam smiled slightly. "I'm actually going to visit the Kingsley family, and they want Mom to come too."Sarah's heart skipped a b

    The Renhuang Lamp users found themselves utterly perplexed by the unfolding events. According to their meticulously gathered intelligence, they had a comprehensive understanding of the laws Adam had mastered. Among these were several formidable abilities, but spatial laws were conspicuously absent from his repertoire. Adam was undeniably powerful, his mastery over certain elements a testament to his prowess. However, the creation of a spatial gate and the ability to traverse the void were feats that unequivocally required a profound understanding and mastery of spatial laws—something they were certain Adam lacked.As they stood there, facing Adam who had just appeared before them seemingly out of nowhere, their confusion grew deeper. The ability to create a spatial gate was not a trivial skill; it was an advanced technique reserved for those who had devoted significant time and effort to mastering the intricate laws of space. Traversing the void, an even more complex feat, required a

    The visitors were all powerful Immortals from the Wu Clan, the most dominant force in the central region. Renowned for their overwhelming strength, the Wu Clan boasted numerous mid-stage to peak-stage Immortals among their ranks. Their fearsome reputation was well-deserved, as their formidable power made them nearly unstoppable.In this particular instance, the Wu Clan did not need to deploy their entire might to obliterate the Shu Clan. Their unparalleled strength was more than sufficient for such a task. However, circumstances had compelled them to act with urgency, leaving them with no alternative but to address the situation immediately. Despite their reluctance, the Wu Clan found themselves compelled to intervene and take decisive action.As the Wu Clan group approached the Shu Clan's territory, they looked around cautiously, their eyes scanning the area. Their gazes soon fell upon ten Immortals they did not recognize. These mysterious figures stood with an air of confidence, and

    "The Wu Clan was once a formidable force," Shu Nantian began, his tone imbued with respect and a hint of trepidation. "Their power was legendary, known far and wide. However, their prominence seemed to fade after their ancestors mysteriously disappeared fifty thousand years ago. Since then, the Wu Clan had largely kept to themselves, shrouded in secrecy and isolation. It was as if they had vanished from the annals of history, becoming a mere whisper among the other great powers."He paused, allowing his words to sink in before continuing. "Then, without warning, the Wu Clan re-emerged. They did not just return quietly; they revealed a trump card that no one had anticipated. They possess an army of Immortals, a force so powerful it defies comprehension. With this newfound strength, they began to assert their dominance, aiming to rule the eastern region and claim hegemony over all. Their ambition knew no bounds; they demanded that all the various forces submit to their will."Shu Nantia

    Jiang Shuyin, her voice clear and confident, broke the tense silence. "Their territory is quite distant from here. If we wait for them to send reinforcements, it could take some time," she remarked, her words carrying both a statement of fact and a subtle challenge to the patience and strategy of those present.Adam, standing with a calm and composed demeanor that belied the tension in the air, responded thoughtfully. "These people are on the verge of death," he began, his tone steady and authoritative. "If they want to live, they will certainly convey to their reinforcements the urgency of the situation. They will spare no expense and will rush here at their greatest speed, using the teleportation array. I am confident they can achieve this."His words hung in the air, heavy with the weight of inevitability. The logic was unassailable; those in desperate straits would go to any lengths to save themselves, and the advanced means at their disposal—such as the teleportation array—would

    As the figures of Adam and Jiang Shuyin materialized at the Shu Clan, the reaction from the surrounding immortals was palpable. Immortal Wang, Immortal Kong, Immortal Yan, and several others who had been eagerly waiting for any news couldn't help but narrow their eyes in surprise. Their astonishment wasn't just due to the sheer speed of Adam's return, but also because of the presence of Jiang Shuyin at his side, the very person connected to the heart of the Jiang Clan's issues. Each Immortal found their minds racing with similar thoughts. Had Adam managed to address the troubles plaguing the Jiang Clan in such a short span of time? The astonishment in their eyes and the careful way they exchanged glances spoke volumes. Everyone, which had been filled with a tension born of unresolved conflict, now bristled with an undercurrent of curiosity and silent speculation, as the implications of Adam's swift return began to settle in."Grandpa Nantian, have you recovered from your injury?"
