Adam looked at Aria and brushed her tears away with his thumb. "Because you deserve it."

Aria's eyes widened in amazement. She had never met anyone like Adam before. He seemed too good to be true. Too kind, too generous, too caring. But she couldn't deny how much he had helped her already, and how much he was offering to help her now.

"But why?" she asked again, wanting to understand.

Adam sighed and pulled back slightly, looking at Aria with a hint of sadness. "I'll be honest with you. When I met you for the first time, I knew I wanted to get to know you better. You're incredibly smart, kind, and passionate about your work. You're such an amazing person, Aria. And it breaks my heart to see you hurting like this."

Aria felt a warm sensation in her chest, as Adam’s words touched her soul. She had never met anyone who had been so honest and open with her before. She could feel the genuine care and concern he had for her, and she knew she could fully trust him from now on.

"You’re too ki

    Aria felt a surge of excitement and nervousness. She liked Adam a lot, and she wanted to spend more time with him. But she also felt unsure about going to his place. She barely knew him, and she didn’t want to intrude on his family. "I don’t know, Adam. I don’t want to impose on your family. I mean, we just met."Adam took her hand and looked into her eyes. He felt a connection with her that he hadn’t felt with anyone else. He said, "Don’t worry. You’re not imposing. You’re already important to me."Aria felt her heart skip a beat. She couldn’t believe what Adam had just said. She was already important to him? She felt the same way, but she was afraid to say it. She smiled and squeezed his hand. "Alright, let's go then."Aria didn't have any clothes with her, and Adam told her not to worry about it and he lent her his jacket to cover herself up. But as they stepped out of the VVIP room, they were greeted by Rosalind's sour face.She crossed her arms and snapped, "Who is this girl? An

    Adam let out a weary sigh and met Aria’s gaze with a pained expression. He knew that he was about to expose a part of his life that might make her run away from him. "I mean that we’re involved with the underworld. We deal with things that normal people don't even know exist. We sometimes have to resort to certain methods to get what we want. Methods that you might not approve of. Methods that might terrified you."Aria's mind was spinning with shock and confusion. She couldn’t wrap her head around the fact that Adam, the man who had shown her so much kindness and affection, was part of such a sinister world. She swallowed hard and asked, "Underworld? You mean like…like what? Like drugs? Are you a weapons dealer? Do you traffic people? Are you a killer or something like that?"Adam's face darkened at her questions, but he understood where she was coming from.He said, "No. We're not any of those things. I can't really say too much, but let's just say that my family have some powerful

    Adam quietly closed the door and left Aria's room, making his way out of the grand house and towards his car. He got in and drove towards the Hunt family's home.When he arrived, he was greeted by one of the servants who bowed and said, "Follow me, Mr. Adam. The family will be with you shortly."Adam nodded and followed the servant, feeling a sense of unease wash over him. He had been to the Hunt family's mansion several times before, but this time he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.As he waited, he glanced around while thinking of many things. He was snapped out of his thoughts by the sound of footsteps approaching. He looked up and saw Howard and his two children entering the room. They looked pale and weary, as if they had been through a lot. Adam could immediately sense that something terrible had happened."Adam, thank you for coming," Howard said, his voice heavy with sorrow. He walked over to Adam and shook his hand. Adam stood up and returned the gesture.

    Howard nodded. "We thought so too. We hired private investigators to look into it, and they found evidence that the Foster family had bribed a high-ranking government official to influence the decision in their favor. We had enough evidence to sue them, but we decided to settle out of court instead."Adam frowned. "Why did you settle?"Howard sighed. "We didn't have the resources to fight a legal battle with them. They have a lot more money and connections than we do. But then, around a few months later, we found out that the Foster family had joined the Specter Alliance, and they started using them to take out their business rivals."Hazel, who was listening intently to the story, her eyes wide with shock. "Wait a minute. Henry, is that why you didn't want me to investigate Liam?" Henry nodded silently, his expression serious. Adam pondered for a moment, tapping his fingers on the table. Then he spoke, his voice firm. "Alright, it's clear that the Foster family needs to be taught a

    Adam parked his car in front of his house and got out. He looked up and saw Rosalind sitting on the terrace, enjoying a bowl of ice cream. She was wearing a casual dress and sunglasses, looking relaxed and carefree. He felt a pang of envy, but he also knew he couldn’t afford to be angry or offended by her demeanor, because he knew he needed her help.He walked up the stairs and greeted her. "Hey."She looked up and smiled. "Hey. Desmond told me what happened." She gestured to the empty chair next to her. "Have a seat. Want some ice cream?"Adam shook his head. "No, thanks. I’m not in the mood."Rosalind shrugged and scooped up some ice cream with her spoon. "Suit yourself." She licked the spoon and looked at him with a serious expression. "So, what are you going to do about the Fosters?"Adam sighed and sat down. "I have a plan. But I need your help."Rosalind raised an eyebrow, looking intrigued. "Oh? The mighty Adam needs my help?"Adam ignored that comment and explained his plan

    Adam and Aria were wrapped in each other's arms, their lips locked in a heated kiss. They were so engrossed in their moment of bliss that they didn't hear the sound of footsteps approaching the backyard. Rosalind walked in and saw the scene before her. She was shocked, but she quickly masked it with a fake smile. She cleared her throat loudly, making Adam and Aria jump and pull away from each other.Rosalind raised an eyebrow. "Well, well, well. What do we have here? I thought you said you were going to check on Rachel. Not play tongue hockey with your little doll."Adam laughed nervously, his arm still around Aria. He tried to act casual. "Jealous much?"Aria looked mortified and tried to free herself from Adam's grip, but he held her tight. She lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry."Rosalind shrugged and waved a dismissive hand. "Don't be. It's not like I care. After all, we all know that Adam and I are not really engaged. It's just a... well, a business arrangement."Aria lo

    Meanwhile at a different location, Brian Foster's face darkened as he received a call from one of the top executives of the Specter Alliance."What the hell do you mean you're ending our alliance?" Brian yelled, his voice tinged with anger and confusion.The executive on the other end of the line sighed. "I'm sorry, Brian. It's a direct order from the boss. I can't do anything about it."Brian ground his teeth, struggling to control his emotions. "This is crap. We've been partners for 2 damn years. Why the sudden change?"The ececutive snapped, "Because you fucked up, Brian. That's why! You stepped over the line and offended someone you shouldn't have. The boss is furious and wants nothing to do with you or our alliance anymore. You brought this on yourself!"Brian's eyes widened in shock. "What are you talking about? Who did I offend?"The executive let out a sigh. "You made the boss's future son-in-law angry."Brian's confusion turned to disbelief. "What the hell are you talking abo

    Brian's heart was racing as he watched in horror as the man took his son hostage. He had to think fast before things got worse. "Let my son go," he growled, his voice barely concealing his anger. "This has nothing to do with him."The man's sly grin widened into a full-on smile. "You think I'm stupid, Foster? You and your family have caused us enough trouble."Brian's eyes widened in surprise. How did this man know his name and his family? Did he have a history with him that he didn't know about?He tensed up, trying to size up the situation. "Who sent you?"The man chuckled. "You don't know? That's almost cute. You really have no idea what you've gotten yourself into, do you, Brian Foster?"Brian's fists clenched, his patience wearing thin. "Cut the bullshit and tell me who's behind this."The man's smile faded, replaced by a look of malice. "Mr. Desmond."Brian's heart sank at the mention of the name. Desmond was the head of the Specter Alliance branch in Zalia, the city they were

Among these were several formidable abilities, but spatial laws were conspicuously absent from his repertoire.

    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?"
