Adam rolled his eyes. This was getting out of hand. He knew that Lilith was just trying to show off in front of Rosalind.

He turned his head slightly to look at Rosalind, who was standing behind him with a smug smirk on her face. He couldn't believe that he was involved in a love triangle with two women from hitman families.

Without a word, Rosalind moved closer to Adam, and placed her chin on his right shoulder. Her chest was pressed against his back, making him feel her heartbeat and her warmth. He felt a surge of discomfort and awkwardness.

Lilith's anger boiled over, seeing the way Rosalind was clinging to Adam. "Get your hands off of him, you whore!"

But Rosalind didn't budge, and instead wrapped her arms around Adam's waist. She said, "Ooh, I can tell you're getting mad. But you know what they say, honey. If you can't handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen."

Lilith gritted her teeth. "I swear, if you don't stop this, I–"

"Stop it! Both of you!" Adam interrupted, feeling frustr

    Adam ended the call and put his phone in his pocket. He turned to Rosalind, who was now scrolling through her phone. He said, "I have to go out tonight. Work stuff."Rosalind pouted. "Can't you skip it? Or send someone else? I really wanted to have dinner with you tonight."Adam smiled sympathetically. "I wish I could, but it's a big meeting, and I can't miss it."Rosalind furrowed her brow. "Well, can I come with you? We could grab a bite afterwards."Adam hesitated. "I don't know if that's a good idea. It might be a bit boring for you. How about we eat now instead? We still have time."Rosalind pouted again. "But I'm not hungry, and I'm on a diet. I don't want to ruin my progress."Adam rubbed his temples, feeling a migraine coming on. He was tired of the way Rosalind always seemed to prioritize her wants. "Look, I really have to go. You can stay here and watch TV or something."Rosalind got up from the couch and wrapped her arms around his neck. She looked into his eyes and said, "

    As Adam looked around frantically, wondering what to do, Aria's grandfather noticed that they were completely trapped. He saw the panic in Adam’s and Aria’s eyes and knew that they had to get out fast, or they would burn."Listen to me, son," he said, his voice faint but firm. "Take my granddaughter and get out of here."Aria shook her head violently. "No, Grandpa, I can’t leave you here. We’ll make it out together!"But her grandfather smiled sadly. "I know I’m not going to survive this. And I don’t want you to die because of me. Please, go."Adam was torn, unsure of what to do. But he saw the courage in the old man’s eyes, and he knew he had to honor his wish."Come on, Aria," he said, reaching for her hand. "We have to get out of here."But Aria jerked her hand away from Adam’s grip. "No! I’m not going anywhere without my grandpa!"Adam tried to reason with her. "We don't have time. We have to go now."But Aria stood her ground. "I’m not leaving him behind. We have to save him."Ad

    Adam felt his anger rising. "Rose, listen to me. I have a serious situation here. Why don’t you go back to my place and wait for me there?"Rosalind snorted. "Serious situation? What kind of lame excuse is that? And who's more important than me?"Adam clenched his jaw. "It’s not an excuse and it’s not a competition. I had to save someone."Rosalind paused, as if processing this new information. "Okay. Fine. I’ll give you a pass this time. But don’t you dare ignore me like that again."Adam rolled his eyes, regretting why he ever got involved with Rosalind. 'Sure, sure. I’ll talk to you later, alright?"He hung up and turned his attention back to Aria. She was still crying, and he felt a surge of protectiveness towards her. He had saved her from the flames, but he couldn’t save her from the grief."It's okay," he whispered, rubbing Aria's back. "I'm here for you. We'll get through this together."Aria nodded, still unable to speak. She felt a deep sense of gratitude towards Adam for be

    Adam was getting more and more frustrated with Rosalind. "Listen, I had to save someone. It was a matter of life and death. I didn't do it on purpose."Rosalind folded her arms over her chest, creating a barrier between them. "And what about me? What about my feelings? Do they not matter to you?"Adam took a deep breath, trying to remain patient. "Look, Rose. I'm sorry that I had to leave you like that. But it was an emergency, and I couldn't bring you into it. Please don't make this about you."Rosalind glared at him, her eyes flashing with hurt and anger. "Excuse me? How can you say this is not about me? You left me alone in an unknown place, without any explanation or warning. You didn’t even call me to let me know you were okay. How do you think that made me feel?"Adam was getting more and more annoyed at Rosalind's attitude. He knew he had to explain the situation to her properly before things escalated. "I get that you’re angry, but this has nothing to do with you. I didn't hav

    Rachel was just about to respond when she was interrupted by a sudden knock at the door. Rosalind quickly adjusted her dress and walked towards the door, assuming it was Adam.As she opened the door, she was greeted by the sight of Adam, wearing a white shirt and blue jeans. He looked at her, and she could see a hint of surprise in his eyes."Hey," she said with a smile."You look stunning," Adam replied, looking Rosalind up and down appreciatively.Rosalind blushed and looked down at her outfit. She had decided to wear a bright red dress, but now she felt self-conscious."Really? I feel like I'm too dressed up compared to you," she said, gesturing towards Adam's casual attire."Nah, you look perfect. Honestly, you could wear a paper bag and still look beautiful," he said, making Rosalind giggle.Rachel coughed loudly, breaking the romantic tension between Adam and Rosalind. "Can you two get a move on, please? I’m about to throw up from your cringey flirting."Adam and Rosalind exchan

    Adam was shocked at first, but he quickly masked his expression with a calm facade. He knew that if Howard and his colleagues had already called him here with evidence, it meant they were convinced that he was the culprit. However, he also sensed that they had something else in mind. If not, why didn't they arrest him on the spot?So, he decided to play along and asked with a feigned curiosity, "What kind of evidence do you have?"Howard Hunt and the others exchanged smug smiles. They took Adam's question as a sign of his guilt.Howard said, "We discovered that the poison found in Liam Foster's food was made from some rare plant extracts, not synthetic chemicals. We traced the source and found out that there's only one herbal store in town that sells those plants. And guess what? We have you on tape buying some of those same plants, which when mixed together, produce the exact same poison that killed Liam. How do you explain that?"Adam smiled and shook his head. "Come on, General Hun

    Adam closed the distance between him and Kirby Jones, his eyes narrowing into slits, as he put on a show of arrogance to pique Kirby and the others’ curiosity. He tilted his chin up and said in a cold voice, "Why do you want to know?"Kirby Jones smiled warmly, as if he was amused by Adam’s attitude. He leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms over his chest. "The Crowe family has a reputation for being one of the most powerful families in the world. If your mentor was stronger than any of them, we’d like to know who he is."Adam smirked, feeling a surge of satisfaction as he saw General Jones and the other officials staring at him with interest. He shrugged his shoulders casually and said in a teasing tone, "I’m sorry, but I don’t reveal my mentor’s identity to just anyone. If you want to know, you have to prove yourself worthy of that information."Kirby Jones laughed heartily, as if he was enjoying the challenge. He leaned forward and rested his elbows on the table.

    Rosalind huffed and turned on her heels, still fuming. Hazel just shook her head and walked away in the opposite direction, not wanting to be near Rosalind anymore.Adam shook his head, feeling frustrated with the whole situation. The next morning, Adam sat at the breakfast table with Rachel and Rosalind, but Raven was nowhere to be found since Rosalind’s arrival. They ate in silence for a while until Rosalind finally spoke up. He wondered if she was avoiding them on purpose. They ate in silence for a while, until Rosalind decided to break the ice."Adam, what are your plans for today?" she asked in a tone that was both polite and condescending.Adam didn't appreciate her tone but responded nonetheless. "I'm going to visit Aria at the hospital first, and then investigate something about the Foster family," he said, taking a bite of his toast. He hoped she would drop the subject, but he knew she wouldn’t.Rosalind’s smile faded, and her eyes narrowed. She clearly didn’t like hearing

    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.

    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.

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.

    "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?"
