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.

The silence in the lab was deafening.Bodies of the experimented humans lay strewn across the floor—twitching, broken, gasping their final breaths. Their twisted forms contorted unnaturally, enhanced muscle tissue ruptured beyond repair.Adam stood in the middle of the carnage, untouched. His uniform remained spotless, his breathing steady, his expression unreadable.The Supreme General, in the flesh.To Draven, the sight was sickening.“You really don’t disappoint,” Draven sneered, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth, eyes narrowing with cold malice. His smirk faltered as the reality sank in—the so-called legend was every bit the nightmare the stories whispered about.Draven’s fists clenched at his sides, frustration simmering beneath his skin.Adam didn’t speak.His sharp, hawk-like eyes remained locked on Draven, analyzing every twitch of muscle, every shift in posture.Then, Draven reached into his coat pocket, pulling out a small metallic capsule, etched with Cross Blood’s

Rise Of The Supreme General Chapter 282
The Next NightIt was 11:30 PM when the intel finally came through.Inside the Silver Squad’s secure briefing room, the air was heavy. Dim lights cast shadows across sharp faces. The hum of a holographic map pulsed softly in the center of the table, blue light washing over them.The squad was locked in, their expressions tight, jaws clenched. No one cracked a smile here. Not tonight.Adam stood at the head, arms crossed, watching, listening. His sharp grey eyes never missed a detail.Ivy, the team’s strategist, leaned over the table, fingers tapping against the map. “We’ve got movement,” she began, her voice steady but low, the tension riding under her words. “Matches Cross Blood activity. Remote site. Thirty miles out — old industrial zone, tucked in the forest. Energy readings are off the charts. Heavy electronic jamming, just like the last one.”Mira’s eyes narrowed. “Presidential intel backs this up?”Ivy gave a short nod. “Confirmed. Surveillance drones caught enough. It’s anothe

Rise Of The Supreme General Chapter 281
The presidential banquet was already in full swing by the time Adam and Mira entered the grand hall.The room was nothing short of extravagant. The crystal chandeliers sparkled overhead, casting a soft golden glow across the polished marble floors. A live orchestra played softly in the background, and servers in crisp uniforms moved elegantly through the crowd, offering glasses of wine and hors d'oeuvres.Only the country’s top elites were present.Military generals, powerful politicians, corporate moguls, and foreign diplomats filled the room. Their tailored suits and glittering jewelry were a silent display of wealth and influence. Conversations buzzed around the hall, most of them carefully measured and polite.However, the moment Adam walked in beside Mira, the atmosphere shifted subtly.Many of the guests paused mid-sentence, their eyes drifting toward him. Some looked curious, a few frowned in confusion, while others quickly whispered among themselves.Unlike the others, Adam’s

The rain hadn’t stopped, but neither had the engines.Ray City, Presidential District. The convoy cut through the night, blacked-out SUVs trailing behind as they approached the heart of national power.President Ryan Crowne stood by the window of the presidential suite, watching the armored vehicles roll in. His reflection stared back—gray at the temples, eyes sharp from years navigating war, politics, and survival.But tonight, there was no hiding the relief on his face.The door opened. His daughter, pale but alive, was wheeled in—her weak eyes locking onto her father’s.Ryan crossed the room in seconds, kneeling beside her. “You’re safe,” he whispered, voice thick. “You’re safe because of him.”Behind them, Adam stepped in.Combat boots. Plain dark clothes. His expression unreadable, his presence undeniable—for those with the sense to feel it.President Ryan straightened, extending a hand. “You’ve done more than I can repay, General.”Adam shook his hands with a nod. "It's my duty,

Across the black waters of Ray City Bay, buried beneath the earth like a sleeping beast, alarms screamed.Cross Blood Headquarters.Steel walls reinforced with cultivation-grade alloys. Surveillance grids pulsing. Soldiers everywhere—armed, armored, eyes hard behind their masks.But none of them were the true threat.No—the real monsters stirred below.In a darkened war room, lit only by flickering holo-screens, General Voren stood like a shadow made flesh. His black armor gleamed with crimson sigils—the mark of one of the Seven Heads of Cross Blood.Footage looped across the largest screen.One man. No weapons. Only his fists.Tearing through Cross Blood soldiers like they were nothing but glass in a storm.Voren’s eyes narrowed, molten red pupils glowing brighter with every frame.The officer beside him was pale.

Adam had already set the silver squad at their Target location.His eyes locked onto the convoy below—a fleet of matte-black transport trucks rolling down the abandoned industrial highway, escorted by armed guards in reinforced armor.“Project Phantom,” Adam muttered, perched atop a crumbling radio tower.Through the scope of his rifle, he could see them. Dozens of soldiers. No insignias, no faces—just masks and modified gear.Cross Blood's elite.Behind him, a faint voice crackled through his earpiece.“Visual confirmed. Squad in position.”It was Ivy. Cold. Sharp. Reliable.Adam didn’t flinch. His voice stayed steady. “We take the transport at sector seven. No witnesses. Get ready.”A low hum filled the air as Mira’s voice came next, buried in static. “EMP is ready. Say the word.”Below, the lead truck carried something dangerous.Adam’s intel was clear—the prototype wasn’t human.Modified. Engineered. Enhanced.But what chilled him most wasn’t what was inside…It was the faint memo

Warning: this book may cause excessive eye-rolling, jaw-dropping, and spontaneous yelling at fictional characters. Prolonged reading may lead to sleep deprivation, social isolation, and a strong urge to slap some sense into the characters (don't worry, they can take it).
Anakin Detour
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here... just kidding, but seriously, this book will ruin your life. It'll keep you up at night, make you question your sanity, and leave you wondering if the characters are more messed up than you are. So, if you enjoy a good trainwreck, buckle up and enjoy the chaos!
