2024-09-04 17:09:14Immediately Mr. Lee saw Adam, he got up from his seat to approach him, he had always dreamt of meeting the Supreme General in person. "Mr. Manchester, I am Jinhoo Lee, the CEO of Bulgart Industry. It is an honor to finally meet you."
"I'm already aware who you are Mr. Lee, as a matter of fact I will request a short meeting with you." Adam stated, hearing this Mr. Lee felt like it was a dream, did Mr. Manchester want to meet with him? "Of course, whenever you are ready, I will be too." He said excitedly. "Next week." Adam said with a smile. "Sure, I'll be free next week." They shook hands again. And then Adam left to his table with Stacey. "What do you have in mind this time, Lord Adam?" "Don't worry you'll find out soon." Adam smirked. Stacey rolled her eyes. President Ryan suddenly approached Adam. “Mr. Manchester, do you mind sharing a table with me? I have some honorable guests I would like to introduce you to.” “Sure.” Adam Joined the President with other most influential people in the world, including governors and invited Presidents from other nations. The four Generals were also seated at the table, doctor Bryan was also honored to be seated amongst them. Afterall he is the world's number one healer. After the banquet, the party lasted for three days before everyone returned to their various Cities and countries. Even after the celebration the news was still heavy on the Internet about the return of the supreme General. Adam was in his private lounge, his legs crossed on a table before Stacey walked in, she was dressed officially. "Lord Adam, he's arrived. Mr. Lee." "Bring him in." Adam sat across from Jihoon Lee in his private lounge, sipping fine scotch. "Jihoon, I've admired Bulgart Industry's remarkable growth under your leadership," Adam began. "Your vision transformed coastal Flair into a global hub." Jihoon smiled, pride evident in his eyes. "Thank you, Adam. We've worked tirelessly." Adam leaned forward. "I'm here to make you an offer. I want to acquire the Bulgart Industry." Jihoon's expression turned guarded. "I'm not interested in selling." Adam anticipated this response. "Hear me out. I'm willing to offer 10 trillion dollars." Jihoon's eyes widened, his composure momentarily shaken. Bulgart Industry's net worth was 4 trillion; Adam's offer was more than double. "What makes you think I'd consider this?" Jihoon asked, regaining his poise. "Your legacy will be secured, Jihoon. The Bulgart Industry will continue thriving under my leadership. I'll ensure your vision expands globally." Jihoon hesitated, weighing his options. His children had expressed interest in pursuing other passions, and retirement beckoned. "Ten trillion is...tempting," Jihoon admitted. "But I need assurances." "Name them," Adam replied, crossing his fingers on the table. "Retain all employees, maintain headquarters in coastal Flair, and continue our philanthropic efforts." Adam nodded. "Agreed. I'll also establish the Jihoon Lee Foundation, dedicating 1% of annual profits to supporting coastal Flair's community." Jihoon's resolve crumbled. He extended his hand. "Deal." Adam smiled, shaking Jihoon's hand. Of course he had other motives for buying the biggest industry in the World. He wasn't interested in business whatsoever, his goal was to use this means to crumble Almond City and his enemies together in it. The news escalated throughout the City, "Jinhoo Lee, the Business God sold the unbeatable Bulgart Industry to Mr. Manchester." Considering how Jinhoo was proud of his company, no one ever believed he'd one day sell it. Maybe it was because he was getting old, some thought. They all wondered the amount he would sell his company.

Chapter 727
The killing intent rolling off Lucian was not subtle. It pressed outward like a physical force, dropping the temperature of the air around them by degrees. The people nearby felt it hit them in the chest — that particular cold that had nothing to do with weather, the kind that reached past the body and touched something more primal. Several stepped back without consciously deciding to.Adam’s expression settled into something harder and more attentive. He had assessed Lucian before, back when the gap between them meant he had reason to be careful. That gap no longer existed. Lucian was formidable — genuinely so, operating at a level that put him within reach of Cosmic Island’s four family heads, well beyond what most divine grandmasters could claim. He was not someone to dismiss.He was also not someone Adam feared anymore.“If you want to try, go ahead,” Adam said, holding Lucian’s gaze without shifting. No posturing in it, no performance. Just a statement of fact from someone who ha

The day before his departure, a letter arrived.Adam turned it over once, then broke the seal. Inside was a wedding invitation, printed on heavy paper with the formal precision of something that had been designed to be taken seriously.Groom: Luke Lennon. Bride: Leah Sanders.He read it twice.Leah Sanders — the eldest daughter of the Sanders family of Cosmic Island, his fiancée by arrangement, a woman who had made no secret of her feelings toward him — was marrying Luke Lennon. Son of the Lennon family, one of Cosmic Island’s four most powerful houses.The shock lasted only a moment before his mind moved past it and into the question underneath. Leah was not a woman who changed her mind quietly or without cause. She had pursued this engagement with a directness that left little room for ambiguity. For her to be standing at an altar with someone else two days from now meant something had happened on Cosmic Island — something significant enough to override everything that had come befo

After refining the Blood Spirit Pills, Adam did not stop.He sealed himself inside the cultivation chamber again and began preparing a second furnace.This time, the ingredients were far rarer.The medicinal aroma alone was heavier, richer, carrying a faint purple mist that lingered above the furnace like smoke. Spiritual energy gathered unnaturally around the room, drawn toward the heat as if alive.Hours passed.The flames beneath the furnace shifted from crimson to deep violet.Finally, the lid trembled.A pulse of energy spread through the chamber.Adam opened the furnace slowly.Inside rested several pills, each glowing with a faint purple sheen.Purple Miracle Pills.Far stronger than Blood Spirit Pills.If Blood Spirit Pills accelerated cultivation, Purple Miracle Pills forcefully condensed internal energy and strengthened the meridians at the same time. Their effects were extraordinary.One pill alone equaled two to three months of relentless cultivation.Even for someone at A

Several minutes passed before Tessa finally stirred.Her eyelashes trembled. A weak cough escaped her lips as she slowly opened her eyes.The room around her felt blurred at first.Then she saw Adam sitting beside her.Sweat covered his forehead. His breathing was heavier than usual, and his expression carried a rare trace of exhaustion.Tessa pushed herself up slightly, still disoriented.“What happened?” she asked, her voice hoarse.Adam exhaled slowly.“You were poisoned,” he said. “I forced the toxin out of your body.”Tessa blinked, trying to piece together her memory.Fragments returned. The strange dizziness. The weakness spreading through her limbs. The darkness that followed.Her hand instinctively moved to the necklace resting against her chest.Her fingers wrapped tightly around the pendant.She used to wear the Seraphic Tear Pendant, something she had cherished deeply. But Adam had removed it days earlier.Too noticeable. And it draws danger to her.In its place, he had gi

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
