Immediately 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.

    Trent narrowed his eyes at Adam, lips curling into a smug grin.“I’ll admit,” he said mockingly, “I didn’t expect a country bumpkin like you to even know Mr. Zarholt’s name. Color me surprised.”He gave a dramatic pause, letting the tension simmer before continuing with feigned grandeur.“Yes—Mr. Zarholt is the wealthiest man in Storm City. A true titan. A man whose signature can shift markets overnight. And guess what? After you ruined my grandfather’s birthday with your little scene, I decided to make it right.”He straightened his jacket and raised his chin.“I’m hosting a make-up dinner at Hollow Reach Hotel.”Gasps and murmurs rippled through the room.Gerald, who had been watching the exchange with barely disguised curiosity, cleared his throat. “Trent, that’s... generous. But maybe we should pick a more reasonable venue. I’ve heard the prices at Hollow Reach are... insane.”Trent didn’t even blink. He let out a laugh, cool and calculated.“You’re right. It is expensive. That’s

    “Exactly.” Brielle tossed her hair back with a smirk. “This world isn’t about fighting and killing anymore. It’s about power—real power. Money. Status. Mr. Iron could burn through millions in a minute and not even blink.”She crossed her arms and tilted her chin smugly toward Adam.“But you?” Her voice dripped with scorn. “What can you do? Be a bodyguard? Pull in, what, twenty grand a month on a good day? That’s barely enough to buy the strap of one of my designer bags. Pathetic.”She scoffed, her laughter mocking. “You’re not a man—you’re a joke in last season’s shoes.”Adam’s gaze didn’t flinch. His voice was low, steady—deadly calm.“You talk like wealth makes you someone.” He took a step forward. “But all I see is someone desperately trying to matter.”Brielle’s face twisted, but before she could respond, Trent stepped in, fire in his eyes.“Enough.” He slapped a gold card on the table with theatrical flair. “Adam, who’s trash isn’t decided by cheap insults. This—” he jabbed a fin

    Adam wasn’t surprised.Selena operated in the shadows, always alone, always quiet. She was slippery—an eel in murky waters. If she didn’t want to be found, even the best in his network would struggle. She was talented, strategic, and utterly ruthless.Far more dangerous than Vanguard Ghost or the Elder.Adam wasn’t worried about himself. The threat wasn’t to him—it was to the people around him. The people she could reach. The ones he couldn’t shield every second of the day.This time, Vanguard Ghost had aimed precisely at Adam’s weak spot. And Adam had been forced to stand by, fists clenched, as his enemy escaped unscathed.That bitter humiliation still burned behind his calm expression.---Later that evening, Adam returned to the Armand estate.The moment he stepped through the door, the tension in the air hit him like a wall. Eleanor’s voice rang out before he could even take off his shoes.“Adam, how dare you show your face here after what happened today?”Her tone was sharp, veno

    Tessa stood frozen, the words echoing in her ears like a thunderclap.Devote yourself to me.She’d never imagined the Supreme General would make such a demand—especially not to her. The blood drained from her face, and for a second, she couldn’t breathe. Her heart pounded as she tried to make sense of it.“I… I’m flattered by your favor, Supreme General,” she said, forcing the words past her tightening throat, “but I’m already married. I cannot accept this.”Her voice shook slightly despite her effort to sound composed.Countless women dreamed of catching the attention of the Supreme General. Being even a mistress to such a man meant wealth, power, influence—an unshakable position at the top of society. A flicker of that thought crossed her mind, uninvited. She imagined what it would mean to be his, to walk beside a man feared by nations.For a heartbeat, it thrilled her.But she pushed the thought aside.No matter how lofty the offer, she wasn’t the type to be bought. Her pride would

    Adam didn’t move to free Tessa immediately. He stood in front of the trembling men, his gaze sharp and merciless.“Take your own lives as atonement,” he said, his voice devoid of any warmth.There was no hesitation. The masked men knew who he was. They had heard the stories, the whispered nightmares about the Supreme General. What he did to those who crossed him. Suicide wasn’t surrender—it was mercy.Without a word, one by one, they lifted their blades to their throats. The dull scrape of steel against skin was followed by wet, sickening sounds as blood poured freely. Bodies dropped in succession, lifeless and still.Not one screamed. Not one begged.Adam turned away without so much as a glance, as though their deaths were nothing more than a formality.He stepped toward Tessa, crouched before her, and peeled the duct tape off her lips with surprising care. Then he cut the ropes binding her wrists and ankles with one fluid motion.Tessa’s breath caught as she tore off the blindfold.

    The moment the men in black saw the man's face clearly, their expressions shattered.Pupils shrank. Breath caught in their throats. It was as if Death himself had stepped into the room.Their limbs went cold. Knees buckled. Fingers twitched uncontrollably on the grips of their weapons.Their instincts screamed louder than any command ever had: Run.But it was already too late.Even Hagon—brutal, seasoned, and merciless—felt his composure slipping like sand through his fingers. Still, he forced his spine to stay straight, jaw clenched tight.But the dagger in his hand wavered.With a last breath of false courage, he lunged forward and grabbed Tessa, yanking her upright. His blade pressed tightly against the side of her neck, biting into skin. A thin red line formed beneath the pressure.“Don’t take another step!” he shouted hoarsely, voice cracking with strain. “I’ll do it! I’ll kill her right here!”The other masked men scrambled to mimic him, pressing trembling swords and daggers aga
