Adam stared at his mother in shock. The Onyx Order? The word "assassins" echoed in his mind. He couldn't believe it. Lilith was a part of that organization? How could he have missed such a significant detail?

However, as the initial shock wore off, Adam started to calm down and think more clearly. It all started to make sense.

Lilith's strange personality, her tendency to be mysterious and capricious, and her unconventional way of thinking, all of it pointed to someone who had been trained and raised in a dangerous world. She must have been groomed and molded to be a worthy leader of the Onyx Order.

As these thoughts swirled around in his head, Adam strangely felt a sense of admiration for Lilith. Perhaps she was not just a beautiful and enigmatic woman, but a skilled and highly trained individual that he could learn a lot from.

"Mom, please calm down," Adam said softly, trying to reassure his mother. "I know what you're thinking, but we'll be okay."

Sarah looked at him with an incre

    Virgil nodded and quickly left, leaving Adam and Lilith alone once more. Adam couldn't help but feel a sense of dread at the sudden change in atmosphere."Is everything okay?" he asked, with a worried face that he faked.Lilith’s cold attitude vanished, and she smiled at Adam warmly. "Don’t worry, everything’s fine. Just some business that needs taking care of. But let’s not talk about that, let’s enjoy our night."Adam was still a little anxious, but he decided to follow Lilith’s lead and change the subject."Sure," he said. "This yacht is incredible, isn’t it? I’ve never seen anything like this before."Lilith laughed. "Yes, it is quite remarkable. But let’s talk about something more...interesting.""What do you have in mind?" Adam looked up, trying to act casual."You look tense," Lilith remarked, grinning. "What’s wrong? Do you not enjoy my company?"Adam shook his head immediately. "No, it's not that. I just...I don't know what to expect.These luxuries, then the guards who are al

    Adam tried not to cringe at her words, but he maintained his facade. "That's right. Let me take care of you. Just give me some time to get on my feet, and I promise I'll give you everything you need."Lilith's anticipation of being cared for by Adam was palpable, her imagination running wild with the prospect. But just as she was about to immerse herself in this fantasy, Virgil's urgent approach shattered the moment. Lilith’s eyes flashed with anger as she saw Virgil rushing towards her. She whispered through clenched teeth, "What now?"Virgil looked around nervously, as if afraid of being overheard. He leaned in and whispered back, "We have a serious problem, Young Lady. It’s urgent."Lilith's face turned crimson with frustration. She shot Adam a quick apologetic glance before turning her attention back to Virgil. "Can't it wait? I'm in the middle of something important here."Virgil swallowed nervously, but he stood his ground. "I'm afraid not. It's about the situation with the oth

    In the parking lot, Hazel noticed a stunning woman with a muscular build following Adam closely. She had short black hair, piercing deep brown eyes, and a leather jacket that accentuated her curves. Hazel felt a pang of jealousy and wondered who she was. Adam sensed her curiosity and introduced her as Raven, his personal bodyguard. Hazel laughed and teased Adam about Raven as they loaded their luggage into her car. Since Hazel didn't expect that Adam would be accompanied by his family and carrying quite a lot of luggage, Sarah and Rachel said they didn’t mind taking a cab. They said they would follow Hazel’s car.Adam told Hazel that he planned to finalize the deal with Yvonne today, and pay her the full amount for the house. He said they would need a place to stay for the night, preferably close to Yvonne’s house. Hazel nodded and recommended a motel nearby, called Mambo Motel.However, Hazel warned Adam that it was nothing fancy, just a basic motel with decent rooms and service. A

    Adam’s eyes narrowed as he watched the car disappear into the distance. He then turned to look at Hazel, who was standing next to him. She looked pale and worried, her eyes darting between him and Yvonne.Hazel reached out and touched Yvonne’s arm gently. "Are you okay?" she asked softly. "Who was that man?"Yvonne forced a smile and shook her head. "It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it. Come on, let’s go inside."She led them into the house, leaving Raven outside to keep watch. She told them to make themselves comfortable in the living room, and then excused herself to get something.Hazel sat down on the couch and leaned closer to Adam. She whispered, "Do you think we should bring Raven in?"Adam shook his head. "She's fine."They waited in silence for a few minutes until Yvonne came back with a yellow envelope in her hand. She placed it on the coffee table and said, "This is the document for the sale of the house."Adam picked up the envelope and opened it. He scanned the papers ins

    Hazel jumped up from the couch, grabbed his arm and squeezed it. "But what if you need backup? Don't you remember who my family is in this city?"Adam laughed and gently pried her fingers off his arm. "I remember very well, and that's exactly why I can't risk your safety. Don't worry, Raven is enough."Hazel bit her lip and nodded reluctantly. "Okay, just be careful. And call me as soon as you can."Adam nodded. "I will. Stay here and keep an eye on Yvonne, just in case. And don't open the door to anyone you don't know.""I'll bring her to my house, it's safer there.""That's better," Adam said, and opened the door. He looked back at Hazel and smiled. "I’ll see you soon."He stepped out and closed the door behind him, and immediately noticed something strange. There was a car, a sleek white sportcar with tinted windows. And standing next to the sportcar was Raven, with a set of keys in her hand. She flashed him a smile when she saw him."What is this?" he asked, pointing at the car.R

    In a split second after Adam uttered the word "One", the two bodyguards lunged at Adam, their fists flying towards his face. But Raven was faster. She moved with the speed and agility of a panther, her body coiling as she prepared to strike.The first bodyguard swung a punch at Adam, but Raven intercepted it with her forearm. With lightning-fast reflexes, she delivered a swift and brutal punch to his gut, knocking him to the ground. The second bodyguard tried to grab her from behind, but Raven twisted out of his grip and delivered a vicious kick to his knee. The man doubled over in pain, and Raven finished him off with a powerful punch to the face.Liam stared in disbelief as Raven dispatched his two best men with ease. He had never witnessed anything like it. He tried to run, but Adam grabbed him by the arm, twisting it behind his back."You're not going anywhere," Adam said, as he forced him to the ground.Liam struggled, but Adam restrained him effortlessly. Raven walked over, and

    Raven gasped as the word escaped Adam's lips. "Poison?" She repeated. She had always thought that Adam was someone who played by the rules. But now, he was talking about making poison.She thought about all the things that Adam could do. He could hire a hitman, or use his telekinesis to snap their necks without a trace. Poison was too slow, too risky. So why did he need the poison? It seemed unnecessary, almost sadistic.Adam didn't speak, but his expression said it all.Raven looked at him, waiting for an explanation. When Adam still said nothing, she probed further. "B-but boss, why do you need poison? I can kill for you. Just give me a name."Adam chuckled, a knowing smile spreading across his face. "I know you can, but no. I need you for something else."Raven looked at him quizzically, not liking the sound of that.Just then, the beautiful woman came back into the room, holding a sheet of paper in her delicate hands. "I apologize for making you wait," she said in a melodic voic

    Aria was taken aback by Adam's words. "For me?" she repeated, unsure if she had heard correctly.Adam nodded"Yeah, for you," he confirmed. "Consider it a thank you for being so helpful."Aria stared at the card in her hand, feeling its weight and texture. She knew it was a real black card, one of the most exclusive and expensive cards in the world. "But it's–""It's nothing compared to what you deserve," he cut her off. "Don’t worry about it. It’s just a card."Aria couldn't stop thinking about the black card in her hand. It was the first time she had ever held something so valuable. With that card, she could do so much to help her grandfather's shop grow.She could buy more herbs, upgrade the equipment, and even create a website to attract more customers. The thought of all the potential opportunities that could arise from this single gift made her head spin.But at the same time, she wondered what Adam wanted in return, what his motive was for showering her with so much wealth.

    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.

    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 guests from the Leng Clan had come with a purpose, and their visit was likely to have far-reaching implications for the Shu Clan and its dealings in the Sacred Immortal Realm.In this charged environment, every gesture, every word exchanged, would carry weight.

    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?"
