Six months later. Adam had fully recovered, today was the first day he stood by himself. His legs perfectly healed like they had never been damaged before.
Stacey walked into his room. "Lord Adam, the car is ready." She announced. "I will take my shower now." He replied authoritatively and she left to make other arrangements. Today was no ordinary day, it was recorded as the biggest celebration in the world. The return of the Supreme General, all the Military personnel of the country, the Army, the Navy, the Air Force and the Special Force will all be present to welcome the return of the God of war. All high prestigious men and women will also be present including all government officials and also presidents from other countries like Russia, USA and China. Adam was a National treasure, his life was as important as the president of the country. His name alone trembled nations, he has single handedly taken down an entire enemy fleet. For his service the Government paid hundred billion dollars monthly into his account making him worth Trillions. He's one of the three people in the world who owned that much money, even though the others are based on their company and shares, and Adam's wealth was his only. Ray City was also given to him as a gift, he's like a king, he could decide life and death. Adam, and Stacey drove in the same car meanwhile they were escorted with 1000 Rolls Royce Phantom VIII Armored vehicles. Today was considered a national public holiday, so the road was cleared enough for all the cars. The Banquet was held in the Presidential Villa, which was spacious enough for the many guests. Many reporters stood in a line, but there were thousands of security guards present to contain the crowd. Adam's car stopped, Stacey came out first, she was beautiful with her hourglass shape that fits in her black leather dress. She opened the other part of the car as Adam stepped out. Many pictures were taken at the same time but none could get a clear view of his face. He was donned in a silver suit that was made with Vicuña wool, the most expensive wool in the world and its buttons made from pure diamond. He was also wearing a Rolex. His presence was majestic and all the female invitees could do anything to make him theirs. Before he could make a step further, the four great Generals of Coastal Flair matched up to him, each wearing the most expensive things the brands could make. General Kael Woods, Commander of the Eastern Forces. General Thane Blackwood Western Forces Commander. General Arin Vex, The Commander of the Southern Forces, and lastly General Liam Gore, Commander of the Northern Forces. All powerful men who could single handedly take down thousands of Men. Each General has one million soldiers as their special ally, a single General could wage war against a country. The Generals bowed in unison. "Welcome Supreme General." They declared. Like a wave the gesture rippled through the ranks of the soldiers present. Thousands of soldiers dropped to one knee, their heads bowed in reverence. "Hail the Supreme General!" Their voices echoed throughout the City. The four Generals stood up and escorted Adam to the entrance of the Mansion. The President hurriedly came to Adam, he stretched hands to shake with him. "Mr. Manchester, I am so grateful you are back, you put the entire country in panic after you went missing." "Thank you President Ryan, for this large banquet." "This isn't even enough to welcome the most important person in the country." Adam walked into the Banquet, there were at least 10 most important people from each country of the world, ten of each meal from different tribes from over the World were displayed on the enormously long table. None of Coastal Flair's so-called company owners had the privilege to be invited, except Jinhoo Lee, the CEO of Bulgart Industry, the biggest industry in the country and the World in general.Latest Chapter

Adam hesitated.Not from unwillingness — that had never been the problem. But he had carefully preserved her purity for a reason. His second cultivation breakthrough required it, a condition built into the method itself that couldn’t be worked around. Abandoning that now meant setting back a timeline he had already calculated down to the year.But the alternative was watching her die in front of him.Then something surfaced through the noise of the moment — a memory, sharp and sudden.“The phoenix blood herb.”He said it aloud without meaning to, pulling the small case from his side and opening it. The herb lay within, its faint luminescence unchanged, radiating the dense, layered energy it had taken years to accumulate. He had nearly handed it to a masked stranger at a lakeside. Now it might save Tessa’s life.The phoenix blood herb was among the rarest materials in existence for a reason. Its energy didn’t simply enhance cultivation — it cleansed. It moved through the body like a re

Lord Hades realized his mistake the moment he saw Adam’s expression. He should have told Sasha to send word earlier. He should have had a contingency that didn’t depend on timing he couldn’t control.There was no time for regret. He pulled the military knife from his belt in one motion and drove it hard into Adam’s abdomen.“Watch out!” Tessa’s warning came half a second too late.The blade connected — and rang out with a sharp metallic clang, like steel striking stone. No blood. No puncture. Adam didn’t even step back.The grin forming on Lord Hades’ face died before it finished.His eyes dropped to the knife, then rose slowly to Adam’s face. What looked back at him wasn’t anger. It was something quieter, and far worse.Adam exhaled slowly. Then he released his spiritual energy — not as a strike, not as a show of force, but as something deliberate and final, a single concentrated pulse directed inward at the man standing before him.Lord Hades’ eyes went wide. His legs gave out benea

“Yes! You can stop me for now, but you can’t stop me forever. If you dare to touch me, I’ll kill myself!” Tessa shouted, her voice trembling yet defiant. Her chest heaved as she tried to summon the last fragments of courage she had left.“It’s too late,” Lord Hades countered, his eyes cold and merciless. “You’ve been poisoned with Blossom. If we don’t consummate, your blood vessels will rupture—and you’ll die.”Tessa’s face turned pale, yet her voice remained steady. “Then let them burst. I’d rather die on my own terms than submit to you.”“That’s not an option,” Lord Hades growled, his body tense with desire and frustration. “I can’t bear the thought of losing you like this. Accept your fate, Tessa.”Before she could respond, he lunged toward her. Every step he took radiated power, his cultivation giving him speed and strength beyond normal comprehension. Tessa screamed and flailed, desperately trying to push him away, but her arms were too weak. Each movement she made seemed futile

“This is how you treat someone you claim to like?” Tessa’s voice cracked at the edges. She was close to breaking, and she knew it, and she hated that he could see it. This wasn’t the first time her appearance had made her a target. There had been a time when she had taken quiet pride in her looks. Now she wished she could shed them entirely. They had brought her nothing but this — men who saw her as something to be acquired rather than a person to be known.Lord Hades shifted uncomfortably, something almost like shame crossing his face before his conviction reasserted itself. “I know how this looks, Ms. Armand. I know it’s despicable. But I needed to act — I couldn’t keep waiting, watching you stay in his orbit and never have a real chance. If I can have you, truly have you, I believe I can make you understand what I feel. The body and the heart aren’t so separate as people pretend.”“You are shameless,” Tessa said. Her whole body was trembling — not just from the fear of what the dru

That selfish desire had been the root of everything that followed.When Lord Hades first uncovered information about Adam’s mother during his intelligence work, he made a quiet decision: he said nothing. He buried the findings, then eliminated the small number of subordinates who had been involved in uncovering them. Clean, efficient, untraceable. He had told himself at the time that he was simply keeping options open. He knew, even then, that he was lying to himself.Then Gunther released word that Adam was dead.Hades had felt something lift from his chest that he hadn’t realized was there. Without Adam, the obstacle simply ceased to exist. Tessa would need protection, guidance, someone capable of keeping her safe in a world that would immediately begin circling her the moment his Supreme General’s shadow no longer fell over her. He had already begun thinking through the details when the news arrived that Gunther had taken her.He hadn’t hesitated. He went after her himself, walked

“I’ll let you go this time,” Adam said. “But hear me — if it happens again, I will kill you.”He didn’t wait for her response. He turned and moved, crossing the terrain at a pace that shouldn’t have been possible. The mountain slopes that would have taken an ordinary person an hour to navigate he scaled in minutes, his silhouette cutting upward along the rock face and vanishing over the ridge.Sasha stood at the lakeside and stared after him long after he had disappeared from view. The shock didn’t settle quickly. She had seen strong men before — warriors, cultivators, people who operated well beyond normal human limits. But what she had just witnessed felt like something categorically different. Something that didn’t belong in the same conversation as ordinary strength.She stayed there for a while, not quite ready to move.Storm City was ringed by mountains — not dramatic peaks but dense, tightly packed ranges that pressed in around the city from every direction.
