Lilith raised a curious eyebrow at Adam's aggressive tone. She had heard him talk about the bank before, but had never realized the level of importance that he attached to it.

As Adam hung up the phone, he turned to Lilith.

"I'm sorry about that," he said. "Just some business stuff."

Lilith shook her head, telling him it was okay. "I was just surprised to hear you so intense about the bank," she said.

Adam nodded, his expression growing serious. "It's really important. But I'll explain later. Right now, we need to focus on our visit to Heinz's residence."

Lilith nodded, understanding that Adam had much on his plate.

Adam made his way to Roderick's room, accompanied by Lilith, who was still in awe of his power and responsibilities. As they arrived, Adam noticed that Roderick was still unconscious, lying on his bed.

Lilith looked at Roderick with disgust, wondering why he had to be kept alive. She turned to Adam, questioningly.

"Is his family going to be destroyed?" Lilith asked, her vo

    The atmosphere became tense as Hendrik stepped closer to Adam. Adam didn't back down, but stood his ground."Let me make one thing clear, Hendrik," Adam said, his voice firm and steady. "If you don't listen to what I have to say, there will be consequences."Hendrik chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Are you threatening me, boy?"Adam shook his head, his expression calm. "No, I'm simply stating the facts. You would do well to take me seriously."Hendrik turned his attention to Merrick, his lips curling into a sneer. "And you, Merrick, why are you allowing yourself to be represented by this...nobody?" He gestured dismissively at Adam.Merrick smiled, his eyes never leaving Hendrik's. "You don't know him, Hendrik. If I were you, I wouldn't underestimate him."Hendrik snorted, his face twisting into a look of disbelief. "A young upstart like him? Please. What could he possibly bring to the table?"Sarah, who had been standing quietly to the side, laughed softly. "Oh, Hendrik,

    Hendrik was feeling extremely panicked. Previously, he did prepare 1 sniper just in case, but it was to shoot Merrick. Not only did the sniper shoot the wrong target, the sniper also shot after Adam was discovered to have strange abilities.Hendrik was now terrified of the consequences of his actions. He had to find a way to fix this mess, but he didn't know how. He looked around and saw that the other members of his team were still trying to figure out what had happened."I...I..." Hendrik stammered, at a loss for words. "I didn't mean for this to happen."But Adam didn't care. All he cared about was getting revenge for Lilith's suffering."Helia," Adam whispered, and suddenly..."Who made my disciple sad?" Everyone heard a very feminine voice, but it took away all their courage.And then, the light in the sky suddenly became dim, making everyone subconsciously raise their heads before being hit by a million feelings of disbelief. They didn't feel any change in weather, nor was ther

    "I won't tolerate any harm being done to my disciple," Helia spoke again, her voice ringing with authority. "From this day onward, remember that he is under my protection. Anyone who tries to harm him or any of his loved ones will meet with the same fate as your friends here.""What have you done? Who are you?" Hendrik shouted, stumbling back from the sudden attack.Helia didn't flinch. She maintained her stance, arms aloft as the ominous clouds above them roiled incessantly. The encircling purple lightning that enshrouded her commenced a rhythmic pulsation, and without warning, it dispersed radially, striking indiscriminately.Shrieks pierced the air as individuals attempted escape, yet the relentless lightning pursued, felling them sequentially. Amidst the tempestuous display, Hendrik and his companions came to a harrowing realization. They were utterly at the mercy of this unknown woman and her elemental might."Stop! Please, stop!" Hendrik pleaded, falling to his knees in front of

    Adam made his way over to Helia. She was still standing in the center of the lightning domain, her eyes fixed on the destruction that lay all around them.Adam approached her slowly, his aura still glowing with an intensity that was almost blinding. He stopped a few feet away from her.Suddenly, the clouds overhead began to disperse, and the lightning and purple hues slowly faded. Helia stood there, still surrounded by an aura of elemental energy, her eyes fixed on Adam.Adam slowly turned his head, meeting Helia's gaze. His eyes were still black, and there was a terrifying intensity in his stare.Helia stepped forward, reaching out to Adam. She gently took his hand and pulled him into an embrace, holding him tightly."It's over now," Helia whispered, her voice gentle and soothing. "You've done what you came here to do. Let it go now. You'll lose yourself if you keep going like this."Adam felt Helia's embrace loosen and he slowly pulled away from her, feeling a sense of calm washing

    And so, they made their way back to Kingsley's home. The journey was long and arduous, but they made it without incident, careful not to attract any unwanted attention.Once they arrived, Merrick gestured for Adam to follow him into his study. The room was dimly lit, with heavy curtains drawn over the windows to keep out prying eyes. Merrick moved behind his desk and took a seat, while Adam settled into a plush armchair nearby.Merrick poured them each a generous glass of scotch, and Adam took a sip, savoring the smoky flavor. He looked at Merrick expectantly, waiting for him to speak."I never wanted to go to Tyria," Merrick began, swirling the amber liquid in his glass. "As the head of the Kingsley family, it is my duty to stay here and protect my family legacy."Adam raised an eyebrow, incredulous. "But if you stay here, you're putting yourself in danger. What about Rose? Do you want to see her suffer?"Merrick looked down at his hands, shame creeping into his expression. "No, of c

    Later that evening, Adam, Lilith, Aria, Sarah, and Rachel packed their belongings and prepared for their departure to Tyria. They didn't have much with them, only a few changes of clothes and some food supplies that they had packed into the Kingsley family's private plane. As they checked to make sure everything was in order, Adam looked around at his family and took a deep breath.A moment later, Merrick and Rosalind approached Adam. Merrick placed a hand on Adam's shoulder and said, "Remember, you're responsible for keeping my daughter safe. She's my precious little girl, and I need to know she's in good hands."Adam nodded and replied, "Don't worry. I'll take good care of her. She'll be safe with me."Merrick smiled and turned to his daughter. "Rosie, you listen to Adam and behave yourself. Don't give him a hard time, and always obey him. Do you understand?"Rosalind nodded, trying to hold back tears. She knew that their family, the Kingsleys, would be a target for many people. She

    Adam quickly intervened, "Hey, both of you calm down. There is no need to fight. There are enough beds for everyone. I suggest we all get some rest, so that we can be ready for whatever happens when we arrive in Tyria."Lilith huffed, and Aria crossed her arms, still glaring at each other. Adam sighed and shook his head before getting up and leading the way to the sleeping area, hoping that they could put this argument behind them and rest for a while.After a few hours of sleep, the pilot announced that they were approaching the city of Ruiyi. Everyone immediately looked out the windows to see a vast expanse of barren land with a city in the middle of it. That was the closest town to where Adam was going, and it was their next destination.The city was surrounded by a vast desert, and the sun was beating down mercilessly on the land. Despite the harsh environment, the city appeared to be quite modern, with several tall buildings and a fairly dense population.As they landed at the Ru

    Adam agreed quickly, not only because he thought the offer was very cheap, but also because he recognized the seriousness and sincerity in Omar's demeanor. The decision to accept the offer was not based only on the financial aspect, but also on Adam's assessment of Omar's character and the way he presented the proposal."I like you."Adam's words were met with a puzzled expression from Omar. He had not expected such a statement at a time like this."Uh, thank you?" Omar replied, unsure of how to react.Adam let out a small laugh and explained himself. "I mean, I like you as a person. Do you want to work for me? If you're willing, I only have two conditions."Omar was taken aback. To him, Adam had been his richest client for a long time, but he knew he had to make sure of something before he agreed to work for him. "As long as it doesn't involve murder, human trafficking, drugs, or kidnapping, I'll consider it," Omar said cautiously.Adam smiled and nodded. "No worries, it's nothing

    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?"
