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.

    Meanwhile somewhere else, Adam and Raven finally reached their destination, the house that used to belong to Yvonne. They walked up to the front door and Adam unlocked it with the key that Hazel had given him.As they stepped inside, they were greeted by a silence that was both peaceful and eerie. The house was empty, except for the furniture and the personal belongings that Yvonne had left behind. Raven asked for permission to explore the house and check everything out. Adam agreed, telling her to feel free to look around and make herself at home.Meanwhile, Adam was doing the same thing, but with a different purpose. He was searching for the perfect room to be his own. He wanted a room that was spacious, quiet, and had the perfect amount of natural light.As he walked through the house, he finally found a room that met all of his requirements. It was located at the far end of the house, away from the noise of the main living areas.Adam smiled to himself, feeling satisfied with his

    Adam furrowed his brow and wondered if Lilith was finally revealing her true colors. But just as he was about to respond, Lilith burst out laughing."Gotcha, honey," Lilith said, her voice switching from sarcastic to sweet. "I was just joking, of course. I wanted to hear your voice and see how you’re doing. I miss you, you know."Adam let out a sigh, feeling relieved that Lilith was just playing around. Or so he thought. "I'm busy with work. I don't have time for this."Lilith made a sad face. "Don't be like that. I just wanted to talk to you. Is that so wrong?"Adam sighed. He didn't want to engage in Lilith's games, but he also didn't want to upset her. "Just...be careful. And don't get caught up in things you shouldn't. I got to go."Lilith smiled, feeling a flutter in her heart. She loved it when Adam worried about her. "Are you worried about me?" she said, twirling a strand of her hair around her finger. She ignored Adam's pleas to end the conversation.She continued, "I feel so

    Adam sat there, staring at his mother in disbelief. He couldn't imagine that all these people walking calmly on the street were actually armed. But he knew better than to doubt his mother's instincts. She had always been intuitive and sharp, and she had a way of sensing things others couldn't.He closed his eyes and focused his mind, activating his Visceral Vision. When he opened his eyes, he saw the world in a different light. The people around him were highlighted by a red aura, and he could clearly see the weapons they carried.His mother was right. The street was crawling with armed men and women, all hiding their weapons in plain sight.Adam couldn't help but gaze at his mother. He had always wondered about her life before he was born, but she always avoided the topic whenever anyone mentioned it. Who was she really? What was her history like?"Mom," Adam said, his voice trembling. "Who are you, really?" Sarah smiled sadly at him. She reached out and touched his cheek gently. "I

    Adam took a deep breath, feeling conflicted about what he was about to do. He knew it was a risky move, but he had no choice. The System had given him a mission to kill Liam or face severe consequences. He hated the System, and he also feared it, but he knew that disobeying it would be worse than death.He rationalized his decision by telling himself that he was doing it for a greater good. Since he has to kill, he will kill.However, since he had never killed, nor did he want to, he didn't want to face the reality of what he was doing. That’s why he chose to use poison, a silent killer.Raven looked at the jar hesitantly, "Boss, are you sure about this? I mean, you've never done anything like this before. And what’s the point of using poison? We could just shoot him and make it look like a robbery.""No!" Adam glared at Raven with a cold expression on his face. "This has to be done with the poison I made. Nothing else."Raven flinched at Adam’s tone. She wondered what could be so im

    Adam broke into a smile. "You're right, I'm not. But how did you guess?""Experience, son. I've seen and heard a lot in my day."Adam raised an eyebrow, "Is that so? Do you mind if I ask you something then?"The old man smiled. "Depends on what you want to know."Adam hesitated for a moment, but then decided to ask the question that had been on his mind since he walked into the restaurant. "I heard that this place is not just a restaurant, but something more. Do you know anything about that?"The old man's smile faded, and he became guarded. He glanced around, as if looking for eavesdroppers. "I don't know nothing 'bout that. Sorry, son."Adam could tell that the old man was hiding something. But he didn't want to push him too hard.He decided to change the subject. "So, how long have you been working at this place?"The old man smiled, but the hard look in his eyes didn't soften. "Long enough, son. Long enough."Adam took a sip of his wine and leaned back, watching the old man as he

    Emma rushed over, looking confused. "What's going on, boss?"The old man didn't answer. Instead, he walked over to a door next to the wine cabinet and unlocked it."Follow me," he said to Adam.Emma's expression changed as soon as she saw the old man signaling Adam to follow him. She clapped her hands twice, and the effect left Adam a little surprised.All the attractive waitresses quickly locked the doors, windows, and drew the curtains. Some of the customers, who Adam mistook for regulars, stood up together, with one saying to the others, "I'll guard the left."What the fuck is going on, here?But Adam quickly refocused. His eyes darted from the old man to the door he had just opened. He hesitated, unsure if he should follow him. But then he remembered his mother’s face.'I can do this,' he said to himself, before clenching his jaw and stepped through the door.The old man led him down a steep, winding staircase that seemed to go on forever. The only light came from a few flickering

    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 presence of such formidable individuals from the Leng Clan signaled that something significant was on the horizon, and the Shu Clan was poised on the brink of a potentially transformative engagement.Among the visitors from the Leng Clan, there was a notable disparity in their cultivation levels, which immediately became apparent.

    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?"
