Meanwhile, Adam was in the room that Clark had chosen for him. It was incredibly luxurious. The furnishings were all made from the finest materials, and the room had a large balcony that opened up to a stunning view of the mountains. Adam had never stayed in a room like this before, but he was not in awe at how grand and lavish it was.Instead, his thoughts were consumed by how to acquire treasures more quickly. He knew that Roderick would be arriving at Kingsley's residence in just two hours, and although Adam was confident in his own abilities, he still needed to be cautious in case anything unexpected happened.Adam paced around the room, his mind racing with ideas. Suddenly, he was struck by a brilliant idea.Without wasting any time, Adam quickly opened the Supreme Shop. As soon as he opened it, a transparent screen appeared in front of him, displaying countless items for sale.Adam began scrolling through the list, searching for something he had seen before. After a few minutes,
Adam was thrilled to have Helia even if it was just temporarily. He felt like he had a powerful ally on his side.However, it was natural for Adam to be curious about the power of the dragon race, so Adam asked Helia to show it to him."Can you show me your powers?" Adam asked.Helia chuckled, a knowing look in her eyes."You're curious, aren't you?" she said. "Well, I suppose I can show you a little something."Helia lifted her arms, and a ring of fire appeared around her. Adam watched in awe as the flames danced and flickered around her body, but he remained at a safe distance, not wanting to get too close to the intense heat.Helia laughed at Adam's hesitation."Don't worry, Adam," she said. "I won't burn you. Just come a little closer and watch."Adam took a few hesitant steps forward, his eyes locked on the fiery ring. As he got closer, he could feel the heat on his skin, but it was not unbearable."Watch closely," Helia said, and then she thrust her hands forward, and the flames
Merrick was confused and scared when he saw the Mad Oracle walking towards him. The Mad Oracle was a powerful man who was known to have extraordinary abilities, and his mere presence was enough to intimidate him. Nevertheless, Merrick's confidence returned because he had Adam by his side, and he felt he could handle anything thrown at him."Mad Oracle, it's an honor to meet you," Merrick finally said, holding out his hand.As soon as Adam and Rosalind recognized the old man, they were shocked. Rosalind immediately thought whether their plan would fail because of the presence of the legendary Mad Oracle.On the other hand, Mad Oracle ignored Merrick's words and looked at him with a curious expression. "I heard about your illness, so I am here to see if the rumors are true."Merrick swallowed nervously, unsure of how to respond. "Yes, that's correct. But I am recovering now, thanks to Adam's help."Merrick gestured towards Adam, hoping to shift Mad Oracle's attention away from himself.
Merrick and the rest of the group exchanged worried glances, again. Something beyond their control? That didn't bode well for anyone. They all knew that Mad Oracle wasn't one to scare easily, so if he was worried, then they should be too.Merrick turned to Roderick, his voice calm. "Do your family know anything about this before?"Roderick shook his head. "No, I just found out about it now too."Merrick rubbed his chin, deep in thought. "So why did Mad Oracle come with you?"Roderick explained, "He came to our house and asked me to come with him here. I was even confused why he didn't invite my father."Merrick nodded, then turned to Mad Oracle and gestured for him to explain himself.Mad Oracle let out a deep sigh, before beginning to speak. "Alright, I think I should explain a little more. My old friend, Fate Whisperer, she had a vision. Dark vision of an unknown power that will come and destroy everything we know. She also said that the future of the world will depend on three peop
The group stared at Adam incredulously. What did he mean by "the one who was born to change everything"?No one dared to speak or move. It was as if the whole world had stopped around them.After a few moments of tense silence, Mad Oracle took a deep breath and spoke again, his voice imbued with cautious curiosity. "What do you mean by that?"Adam's gaze fixed on Merrick, who flinched at the sudden attention. Merrick said, "Are you... are you going to tell them about... them?"Adam nodded once, never breaking his gaze on Merrick. And Roderick, unaware of the thoughts running through Mad Oracle and Merrick's minds, simply sneered at Adam. He thought the man in front of him was just a good talker, full of hot air and nothing more."What a load of nonsense," Roderick exclaimed. "This guy is just spouting gibberish to sound important. Am I supposed to believe in this bullshit too?"But as he looked around the group, Roderick saw something in their faces that gave him pause. There was fea
The room suddenly began to shake as if an earthquake were happening, and the group staggered, trying to maintain their balance. "Adam, what is going on?" Rosalind cried out, fear in her voice.But Adam simply stood there, his eyes closed, basking in the sensation of his fake mentor's presence. The group looked at him, then back at Roderick, who was now on his knees, looking up at the ceiling as if trying to plead for mercy.Suddenly, everything came to a halt. The trembling ceased, and the mysterious voice disappeared as swiftly as it had emerged.Then, an eerie chill filled the room, accompanied by a dense, palpable energy. In the heart of the space, a circular tear in reality materialized, floating just above the floor.The group stood frozen, their eyes fixed on the anomaly with a mix of awe, dread, and curiosity. Slowly, a silhouette emerged from the rip, prompting gasps from everyone except Adam.The figure that materialized was like none they had ever encountered. She bore the
Adam leaned in and began to speak, outlining his plan to use Mad Oracle's connection to spread information about the Reed family and their power. As he spoke, Merrick listened intently, realizing that this was a golden opportunity to elevate his family's status in society.As Adam continued to lay out his plan, Mad Oracle shuddered, his mind racing with ideas. The prospect of having such ally was intoxicating, and he could barely contain his excitement.But Mad Oracle couldn't resist interrupting Adam mid-sentence, "Hold on a second. Before we get too deep into this plan of yours, there's something I need to ask you."Adam stopped speaking, looking up at the Mad Oracle expectantly. "What do you need to know?"Mad Oracle paused for a moment, collecting his thoughts before finally asking, "If I help you with this, can you promise me something in return?"Adam's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "What do you want?""I want to see your mentor again."Adam's expression softened, understandin
Adam choked on his drink, surprised by Sarah's sudden statement. He coughed and cleared his throat. "What...what are you talking about, mom?"Sarah gave him a pointed look, and his heart sank as he realized what she meant. Adam shook his head. "This is not the right time to talk about this."But Sarah was not deterred. "Actually, I think it's the perfect time."Rachel couldn't help but chime in. "Yeah, if you guys have your engagement on the same day, that means you'll save money on decorations and stuff. Plus, it'll be like a two-for-one deal."Everyone at the table stared at Rachel in shock, unsure if she was being serious or if she was just trying to lighten the mood.Rosalind burst out laughing, unable to keep a straight face any longer. "Rachel, you're hilarious!"Adam shook his head in defeat, a small smile gracing his lips. "I don't think that's how it works, Rach."But Rachel just shrugged, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Hey, I'm just trying to be practical."Aria laughed,
