Adam pulled away from Aria and stood up. He didn't say anything about Rosalind's message. "I'll go get ready. Meet me downstairs in 30 minutes."

Aria nodded and watched as Adam left the room. She took a deep breath, feeling nervous but excited at the same time. She couldn't believe that she was actually going to meet her parents to discuss her engagement. She had always felt suffocated by her father's constant pressure to follow his wishes and expectations. She had been looking forward to breaking free from his influence.

As Aria got ready, she tried to calm her nerves by focusing on the positives. She liked Adam and wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. It was just the thought of facing her parents that made her nervous.

Meanwhile, Adam noticed that Rosalind was pacing back and forth at the front porch with a worried look on her face. He approached her and said, "Can you make a video call to your father for me?"

Rosalind stopped in her tracks, looking irritated.

    Adam smiled, feeling relieved that Rosalind had put her faith in him. He listed off four herbal names in Latin to Rosalind, "Agaricus blazei murill, soursop leaf, graviola, and dandelion root."Rosalind’s expression turned to one of puzzlement. "What are these?" she asked, her curiosity piqued."These are special plants that people say might help clear the blockage in your father's heart," Adam explained with a reassuring tone.Rosalind was unsure but chose to believe in Adam’s words. She repeated the strange names to Clark, who looked just as bewildered. However, since this was Rosalind's order and Rosalind herself understood the consequences, Clark asked the medical team to prepare the herbs as instructed by Adam.Of course, the medical team was hesitant and refused to give the herbs to Merrick Kingsley. But Rosalind was persistent, insisting that for now, she was the head of the Kingsley family, and everyone who worked for the Kingsley family should obey her.It was a risky move a

    Adam grinned. "Yep, I figured that would grab his attention. I wanted to prove I’m all in when it comes to taking care of you and making you happy."Aria’s face warmed with a gentle smile. "That's sweet, but you know, money isn't everything to me."Adam’s smile turned playful. "Well, your dad sure does. So I had to bring out the big guns."Aria shook her head in disbelief. "I know he's so obsessed with money and status. I'm sorry you had to deal with him. He can be a real pain in the butt sometimes."Adam shrugged his shoulders. "It's all good. I'm glad I got the chance to speak with him. Your parents seem pretty chill overall. And besides, we're getting married regardless. There’s nothing your dad, your mom, or anyone, can do to change that."Aria smiled, feeling a bubbling sense of happiness in her chest. She even started thinking about spending the rest of her life with Adam. From the moment she met him, she knew that he was different from the other men who had pursued her.Thinkin

    As Aria and Adam walked away, Aria couldn't help but wonder how Ryan had managed to get such a high-paying job. She also tried to figure out how to avoid Ryan's party, as she didn't want to see him again."Do you know anything about Infinity Bank?" she asked, looking up at Adam.Adam pondered for a moment before answering. "They're a new bank that's opening soon, and they're offering high salaries and bonuses to attract top talent."Aria nodded thoughtfully, still mulling over the revelation about Ryan's new job. "I guess that explains why he has so much money to throw around."Adam chuckled. "Well, it's not like he's throwing it around for a good cause."Aria’s smile was a bit shaky as they arrived at the 6th floor. She wiped her hands on her dress, trying to dry the sweat before knocking on the door to her parents’ luxurious suite.Her mom, Rhonda, greeted them with a warm smile. "Oh, dear, it’s wonderful to see you. You’re looking so beautiful."Aria wrapped her arms around her mom

    Miguel's jaw dropped in shock, and Rhonda gasped. Aria almost couldn't believe what she was hearing. Twenty million dollars a year for 22 years? Adam continued, not missing a beat. "This way, not only will you be, well, compensated for Aria's upbringing, but you'll also be able to retire comfortably for the rest of your lives. And Aria and I will have the peace of mind."After a moment of stunned silence, Miguel said, hesitantly, "Did you just say $20 million every year for 22 years?"Adam nodded firmly. "That's correct, Mr. Vasquez."Miguel couldn't believe it. Twenty million dollars a year. His mind raced with all the possibilities of what he could do with that much money. He could buy a mansion, a private jet, travel the world, and never have to work another day in his life. He thought about quitting his job immediately and living a life of luxury.The thought of the money consumed him, and he couldn't focus on anything else.But Aria couldn't keep quiet any longer. "No, Dad, thi

    Adam raised an eyebrow. He had expected Miguel to want to spend his money as soon as possible, but borrowing immediately after an agreement? It wasn't what he had in mind."You want to borrow money from me?" Adam asked in disbelief. "After I just offered you $400 million?"Miguel's face fell, panic seizing his body. He knew he couldn't survive another day with his creditors knocking on his doors. He felt like his stomach was churning in desperation.He quickly nodded, not making eye contact and staring at the ground. "I’m really sorry, I know it doesn’t look good, but things are really hard for me right now. I really need that $2 million, and I swear I’ll give it back to you as soon as I get my money... from you."Adam thought about it for a moment. Part of him wanted to say no, that Miguel was being ungrateful and taking advantage of his generosity. But another part of him felt empathy towards Miguel's tough situation."Fine," Adam said finally. "I'll lend you the $2 million, but I e

    Aria felt her cheeks heat up at the mention of Ryan's name. She had tried to forget about him, but it seemed like he was still a topic of conversation among her old friends.When they walked into the party room, Aria couldn’t stop staring at how fancy everything was. It was surprising because she knew Ryan didn’t come from a rich background. The chandeliers were hanging down, shining a warm, golden light on everyone. Waiters dressed up in fancy suits were moving around the room, serving glasses of bubbly champagne.She saw a lot of people she knew from when she was in college and realized that many of them were her old classmates. She smiled as she remembered the old times.For half of the people there, it was their first time seeing Adam and Aria, so they were quite surprised to see them. But the people who had known Aria back in college were even more shocked. They remembered her differently. She had never been this breathtakingly beautiful, let alone exuding the aura that usually

    Chad stepped closer, his body tense, and Adam matched his energy. Aria felt a knot form in her stomach as she watched the tension between the two men escalate."Chad, stop it," Aria said, feeling her voice shake.But Chad ignored her words, his eyes still locked on Adam. He balled his hands into fists, ready to take action. "Just back off and let her talk to Ryan."Adam stood his ground. "She doesn't have to talk to anyone she doesn't want to. And she certainly doesn't have to talk to Ryan."Aria saw the anger in Chad's eyes, and she knew that the situation was getting out of hand."Guys, please. Can we just calm down?" Aria pleaded, trying to diffuse the tension.But Chad was not going to back down, not when he thought that Ryan's happiness was at stake. He stepped closer to Aria, his voice quiet yet menacing. "Listen, Aria. Ryan still cares about you, and I know that you still have feelings for him. Don't make a mistake that you'll regret."Aria felt a flash of anger at Chad's words

    Ryan excused himself from the CEO and quickly made his way to the party hall. He had to see Aria, even if it was just for a moment. As he entered the hall, he saw a group of people gathered in the corner, and his heart skipped a beat when he saw Aria standing there.She was even more beautiful than the last time he had seen her. Her hair was styled differently, and she was wearing a stunning dress that brought out the color in her eyes. He couldn't help but stare at her.But as he looked closer, he noticed that Aria wasn't alone. Chad and a man he didn't recognize were also standing there, looking tense. Ryan didn't know what was going on, but he could feel the tension in the air.Ryan took a deep breath and approached them. "Hey, Aria," he said, trying to sound casual, "how are you?"As soon as the crowd saw Ryan coming, they started whispering to one another, wondering what would happen next. They were all curious about how the drama between Ryan, Aria, and her fiancé would end.Ar

    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

    As the four guests took their places, the hall fell into a hushed silence. The moment was ripe for formalities and introductions, but the undercurrent of tension and anticipation was palpable.

    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?"
