Chapter 1
“I'm sick of your constant excuses about your mother! It's time to choose between me and her.” Rachael's words dripped with exasperation, her patience worn thin by her husband's repeated dodging of responsibility." Adam had just arrived at the Odia mansion, still drenched in sweat from his day shift job, only to be met with his angry wife, Rachael. “Don't say that Racheal, I need this money for my mother's treatment, you have to understand” Adam tried to explain walking closer to her. “Please don't come closer, your sweat stinks so bad, you'll ruin my dress!” Rachael scorned. Adam couldn't believe the same sweat that he had to endure to make sure she's happy is the same thing she called stink. If it wasn't for her he wouldn't be hustling this way. With a sneer she spoke, “It's either you give me this $500 to get myself a handbag for my birthday. Or you use it for your silly old mother!” “What did you say?” Adam asked, unable to believe what his wife just said. “You heard me right Adam, if you're not ready to move on well I am. My family has done you enough favor for letting you stay in our mansion, and yet you can't make their daughter happy. I'm starting to regret marrying you!” Rachael said with disgust, then took her hand bag from the couch and walked straight to the door. But then she stopped and returned back, “I'm still taking this” she snatched Adam's credit card from his hand. “I'll still be needing the money, I'm going out with the girls and I have to change this old bag” “Rach… but my mother…” “Just shut up! If she dies I really don't care, it's your responsibility to work hard to take care of me, and if you want to pay up her bills work harder. “You should be ashamed of yourself, earning$500 per month, you mates are out there making millions. Be glad I even accepted this change.” She interrupted Adam from speaking. Adam stood still like a statue and watched Rachael walked out of the room, it was past 10 and the other family members had gone to bed, otherwise he would have been greeted with more troubles. He sat down on the couch and covered his face in disappointment and bitterness. The doctor had requested $750 for his mother's treatment and after working two jobs this month he was able to raise up $500 hoping to pay up the majority of the bill, but unfortunately Rachael destroyed his plans. Or maybe it was his fault for neglecting her wants, if he had worked harder he would have been able to buy her the bag and also pay up his mother's bill. July 21st is tomorrow and it's her birthday. She deserved it. The Odia family is one of the most respected and wealthy family in Almond City, but no matter how many times he begged them to help him pay his mother's treatment his mother in-law never seized to mock him of his uselessness and so he had no other choice but to work out the money himself. They had already done him a favor by allowing their daughter to be with him and stay in their beautiful mansion. Or perhaps he had done them a favor. Rachael had been diagnosed with kidney cancer, which led to a stroke. "No man wanted to be with Rachael in her condition; even her own family refused to donate a kidney to save her life. But then, a glimmer of hope emerged. A generous offer of $10 million dollars was made to anyone willing to marry Rachael and provide her with a kidney transplant. Adam, driven by desperation to save his ailing mother and lift himself out of poverty, accepted the proposal. He hoped that the money would cover his mother's treatment and secure a better future for them. However, fate had other plans. Liberty Odia, the patriarch of the Odia family, agreed to the deal, but sadly passed away just a month later due to old age, leaving the arrangement in limbo." After Liberty’s death, the family, especially Rachael's mother Monica, ignored the marriage contract and refused to help Adam. Despite this, Adam fulfilled his role as a husband and donated his kidney for a transplant, which ultimately saved Rachael's life. However, she never acknowledged him as her husband. Two years had passed, and Adam remained an outcast in the family, clinging to the hope that one day Rachael would recognize how much he loved her. *** “You stupid piece of trash, how dare you lie on the couch with your stinky, sweaty body? Didn't your mother teach you to take a bath after work?” Monica's angry voice erupted. Adam immediately stood up from the couch. “Good evening, Mother,” he greeted. “Keep that useless greeting to yourself. It won't add a cent to my account,” she retorted, waving her hand dismissively. “I’m sorry, Mother…” “Don't you dare call me 'Mother,'” she interrupted, slapping him hard across the face. “It’s 'Madam.' Don’t ever refer to me as 'Mother.' Do I look like that old wretched mother of yours?” Adam held his cheek, knowing there was nothing he could do other than bow his head and apologize. "I'm sorry, Madam. I'll go take my shower now," he said, bowing his head and turning to leave. "And since you're awake, I need you to make some hot traditional tea for me. I'm having a crampy stomach and can't sleep," she demanded authoritatively. "Yes, ma'am, I'll do just that." "And where's my daughter? Where's Rachael?" she asked. "She left not too long ago. She went out for her friend's birthday party." "Hmm, it's a good thing she left alone. Otherwise, you would have embarrassed her with your bad smell. Please get out of my sight, you good-for-nothing man. I can't wait for my daughter to divorce you and marry someone better," she spat. Adam ignored the harsh words and left for his room. Adam went into the shower and allowed the water to wash away his troubles, he made a deep sigh before coming out from the shower, he cleaned up his body and put on his night clothes. Adam quickly proceeded to the kitchen and started preparing the tea. He added some herbs, milk and a little amount of sugar before serving it to his mother in-law. She was seated in the sitting room waiting for him. “Here it is ma'am” he offered the tea, the aroma from the herbs was pleasing and Monica couldn't help but sniff hard before replying. “I hope you prepared it well, you know I don't like sugar” “Yes ma'am, I added a very little amount of sugar,” he replied with a smile. “I'll just take this in my room, I can't bear to stay here any longer I can almost taste your smell” she gave an awkward glare before leaving with the tea to her room. Adam frowned, he wasn't smelling bad, but she always said that to make him feel bad and even when he tried to get used to it it still hurts. “I don't feel sleepy either, I'll just stay on the couch and wait for Rachael to come back. Tomorrow is her birthday. I want to be the first to wish her a happy birthday” a warm smile shone on Adam's face as he sat on the couch. As time went on he eventually fell asleep on the couch. Few hours later it was 12am. Adam opened his eyes to check if his wife had returned. “Why's she taking so long? Maybe I should just call her, or send her a text” he brought out his phone. But then Adam saw the entrance door slightly opened, he looked and could see a woman trying to get in without anyone noticed. Adam smiled, even without light he could tell it was his beautiful wife, he was just about to wish her a happy birthday through text and she just arrived, what a beautiful coexistence. Adam then walked up to her, she couldn't see him coming as inside was dark. Adam hugged her from behind. “Happy birthday my love” “Hey! What the hell are you doing?” Her voice cut through the darkness like a blade, her hand fumbling to turn on the light. Adam's eyes widened, his heart stopped for a moment when he realized it was not his wife but her younger sister Rhea. Their resemblance had put him in trouble. “Rhea?” “You moron!” Rhea's hand connected with his cheek in a stinging slap. “What were you trying to do? Were you trying to rape me?” Her voice was a mix of fury and fear. Her black gown was torn, makeup smeared, hair disheveled. It seems she had gotten into a fight from wherever she was coming from and she just vented her anger on Adam. Adam's face drained of color. “I'm sorry I thought it was Rachael, I'm so sorry” “You tried to rape me! Mother! Brother!” She shouted calling out to her family.

Adam’s eyes narrowed, his tone dripping with disdain. “You think the name Marlowe scares me? You’re nothing but a worm crawling under that banner. Any last words? Say them now… or you’ll never get the chance again.”Tony’s bravado shattered instantly. The chill in Adam’s voice sank into his bones, and his instincts screamed to run. His legs moved before his brain caught up. He staggered two steps back, then spun around to bolt.A low chuckle rolled from Adam’s chest, cold and merciless.He lifted his palm casually, striking nothing but air.The warehouse thundered with a deafening boom. The force ripped through the atmosphere like an invisible hammer. Tony’s body jerked violently, lifted off the ground, and was hurled like a ragdoll across the cracked floor. He tumbled hard, a spray of blood bursting from his lips before he crashed down with a bone-jarring thud.Tony groaned, clutching his chest. His ribs felt as though they had been shattered inward, organs squeezed beneath the crush

“You cocky bastard. Go get him, guys!” Tony snarled, his tone sharp as a whip. A cold glint flickered in his eyes, but he didn’t budge. He wasn’t about to risk his own skin when he had men trained to die for him.The four subordinates stepped forward without hesitation. They weren’t common street thugs—each one was a warrior molded by the Marlowe family since childhood. They had eaten, trained, bled, and killed together, becoming something closer to a single organism than four individuals. Their strength as advanced-level warriors was unquestionable. Their coordination, seamless.One of them sneered, cracking his knuckles. “This will be over quick.”Another added, “The young lord wants you crippled, not dead. Consider that your only mercy.”In an instant, they exploded into motion.They moved as if rehearsed a thousand times, surrounding Adam like a hunting pack. One aimed a crushing fist for his jaw, another drove a knee for his ribs, while the third sought to hammer his chest. The l

“Reuben, you’ve just recovered. Let’s get you back to the room for some rest,” Happiness urged, quickly changing the subject. Gratitude lingered in her heart for Adam saving her husband, but in her mind, Julian was still the perfect son-in-law. Heir to the Marlowe family, wealthy beyond measure, and tied to power—no ordinary man, not even a brilliant doctor like Adam, could compare.After leaving the Montclair residence, Adam flagged down a cab toward the train station. But as the minutes passed, he noticed the scenery grow quieter, the streets emptying into stretches of darkness. The driver never once glanced at him, hands stiff on the wheel.Adam leaned back lazily, though his eyes sharpened. The cab wasn’t heading anywhere near the station. He smirked inwardly. Julian… you’re still playing games?When the cab finally slowed, Adam found himself in front of an abandoned warehouse at the edge of town. The driver’s nerves showed as he muttered something incoherent and scrambled out of

Adam was taken aback by the sudden question. He nodded, then shook his head a moment later, leaving everyone confused.“Dr. Manchester, you nodded and shook your head. What does that even mean?” Reuben asked, his brows furrowed.Adam finally answered in a flat, almost detached tone. “I’m married… but I’m in the middle of a divorce.”The words fell heavy. His voice carried no warmth, no regret, as if he was speaking about someone else’s life instead of his own. To him, Tessa was nothing more than a ghost lingering in his past. She had carved a scar into his heart, yes, but scars only reminded you of the pain you’d already survived.Reuben didn’t push further, but his sharp eyes slid toward his daughter. Aurora immediately picked up on his meaning, and color rushed into her cheeks. She lowered her gaze, pretending not to notice his scrutiny.Dinner stretched into the late hours of the night. The Montclairs, overjoyed by Reuben’s miraculous recovery, tried several times to persuade Adam

Julian’s face twisted with disbelief and suppressed rage. His chest burned as he watched Aurora’s radiant smile directed at Adam. Every soft word of gratitude, every glance of admiration she gave Adam, felt like a dagger cutting into him.It wasn’t only her reaction that infuriated him. The Montclairs, one of the most respected families in Ray City, surrounded Adam as if he were a savior descended from the heavens. Their warmth toward Adam contrasted sharply with their cold indifference toward him. In their eyes, Julian Marlowe, the proud disciple of Dr. Mubarak, had become nothing more than an afterthought.Julian clenched his fists until his nails dug into his palms. He couldn’t stand another second of it. Without so much as a farewell, he turned sharply on his heel and stormed out of the Montclair residence, his expression dark as thunder.The night air outside did nothing to cool his fury. He immediately pulled out his phone and dialed.“Tony,” Julian growled, his voice cold and s

Adam stepped forward and quietly approached the bedside. Reuben was lying there, his breathing faint but steady, his skin no longer as pale as before. The pill had done its work—at least enough to hold death at bay.Without wasting another word, Adam pulled out a slim case of silver needles. The Montclairs, who had never seen such a thing before, exchanged uncertain glances. Then, with practiced calm, Adam unbuttoned Reuben’s shirt, exposing the frail chest of the once-mighty patriarch.Ezekiel’s eyes lit up with anticipation. He moved closer, holding his breath, afraid that even blinking would cause him to miss something. As a healer himself, he instantly recognized the setup. “Flying Acupuncture…” he muttered under his breath, unable to conceal the awe in his voice. He had only read about it in ancient texts. To see it done in front of his very eyes was like witnessing a legend come to life.Adam’s fingers moved swiftly. In the blink of an eye, nine needles pierced Reuben’s body at

This book is trash. Worst book on here. Adam is the supreme general. And has no army ever. It’s 400 chapters of him just been trash. Losing his Mrs over and over. Never reveals himself. Should be the most powerful man in here and gets walked all over by any Tom dick and harry. Utter waste of time
