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.

Megan had assumed his mere presence would be enough—that Adam would panic, release Damon, and bow his head like any sane man would. But to his rising irritation, Adam didn’t even flinch.Instead, Adam looked straight at him and said coolly, “Who do you think you are? Why should I listen to you?”A collective gasp rippled through the crowd like a wave crashing into stone.“Did he just say that to Megan Atla?”“This brat’s gone mad!”“He’s fearless—or suicidal!”From the side, someone muttered, “He really thinks he’s untouchable after beating Mr. Damon? He’s just a greenhorn getting lucky!”Another voice joined in, louder, “Mr. Megan isn’t some young upstart. He’s from the older generation—one of the legends! He’s fought on the battlefield, stood against assassins and monsters alike! His power is second only to the Dawnhaven Gods of War!”“He’s not someone you provoke and walk away from…”“This guy’s finished.”As the muttering and judgment swelled around them, Megan’s face darkened.“D

“I’ve heard the Iron family had a top-tier bodyguard… but I didn’t think the rumors were actually true.”A man in the crowd suddenly widened his eyes. “Wait a second—I know him! That’s Megan Atla! The Iron Fist!”Gasps rippled through the room like a wave of thunder crashing through silence. Faces turned pale. Drinks were dropped. Whispers erupted.“That can’t be him... the Iron Fist’s just a myth!”“No. Look at his hands—those scars. That’s him, alright.”Brielle’s eyes lit up, lips curling with a mix of awe and sadistic excitement. “Mr. Trent,” she turned, almost breathless, “is he really that dangerous?”Trent smirked, savoring the moment like a man who’d just unveiled a loaded gun at a knife fight. “Dangerous? He’s a human weapon. They say his fists alone could shatter concrete. My father saved him years ago, that’s the only reason someone like Megan even bothers staying under our roof. Otherwise, a warrior of his caliber would be standing at the top of Dawnhaven’s power structure

Mitini didn’t hesitate. With a sharp wave of his hand, a squad of elite security guards stormed in, each one trained to deal with high-threat targets.“Take him down!” he barked.They charged at Adam with practiced precision.But before they could reach him—“Stand down!” Adam’s voice cracked through the hall like thunder ripping through steel.The sheer force of it slammed into the guards like a shockwave. They staggered mid-charge, eyes wide in panic, and collapsed to the floor one after another—groaning, trembling, powerless.Gasps filled the room. The crowd was frozen in place, the blood draining from their faces.He had dropped a trained team… with just his voice.Silas took an instinctive step back, rattled. But his pride caught up with him fast.“You little bastard!” he roared, eyes blazing. “Let go of my son, or I’ll make sure your death is the slowest in history!”Adam smirked. He loosened his grip.Damon crumpled to the floor like a rag doll, barely conscious. Before he coul

“Since you’re so eager to go to the afterlife, I’ll grant your wish!” Damon roared.In a flash, he lunged forward like a viper unleashed, a blur of expensive fabric and murderous intent. His eyes burned with bloodlust as he aimed a slap straight at Adam’s face—no mercy, just humiliation. He didn’t plan to end him quickly. He wanted to enjoy it. Drag it out. Break him slowly.But Adam didn’t flinch.Instead, he watched Damon’s incoming hand with the kind of calm that didn’t belong in a room full of enemies.And then he moved.It was swift—barely noticeable to most—but in the next heartbeat, Damon’s wrist was caught in a vice grip. The smugness drained from Damon’s face, replaced by a flash of confusion.He tried to pull away, but his arm wouldn’t budge.Adam’s fingers were like steel—unyielding, suffocating.“W-What the hell...?” Damon muttered, panic setting in. He twisted, yanked, even tried to summon a burst of inner strength. But it was useless.“You’re trembling,” Adam said, voice

"AHHH!" The bodyguard shrieked in agony.His arm hung limp, bones shattered from the impact of Adam’s punch. His body trembled, unable to process the pain fast enough.Before he could even think of retreating, Adam moved.He jabbed a single finger into the man’s chest.It looked effortless. Like flicking dust off a shirt.But the result?A wet splurt echoed.Blood exploded out from the back of the guard as if he'd been stabbed clean through by a spear.The man’s eyes bulged, disbelief written all over his face. He looked down, mouth agape, trying to understand what had just happened.Then he collapsed—lifeless.Gasps shot through the crowd like bullets."What the...?" Silas’s voice cracked, his eyes locked on Adam in utter disbelief.The entire hall froze.People had expected Adam to be broken, humiliated, left twitching on the marble floor.But what they witnessed was something else entirely.He hadn’t just fought back—he’d killed a man with two moves.Ruthlessly. Precisely. Without

Rise Of The Supreme General Chapter 315
The room cracked with tension. Rage surged like a current waiting to snap.Damon’s fists were clenched so tightly, his knuckles had turned white. His chest rose and fell with rapid fury, every breath louder than the last. He looked one second away from launching himself at Adam."You arrogant son of a—""Enough!" Tessa cut in, panic flashing in her eyes. Her voice wavered between fear and frustration. “Adam, stop this madness! You’re bluffing, and everyone here knows it! Keep running your mouth like this, and even I won’t be able to protect you!”Adam turned to her slowly, a calm smirk dancing at the edge of his lips. "Protect me?" he repeated, like the words amused him. “I’m not the one who needs protection. And I’m not bluffing. I’m just being honest.”His voice dropped, smooth as ice.“The Cross family? Insignificant. Ants.”Gasps rippled through the crowd like a wave slapping stone.“You bastard!” Eleanor barked, her eyes flaring. “A loser like you has no right to insult the Cross

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!
