2024-09-05 01:59:54Mr. Lee introduced Adam to the board Members in a board meeting. He sat at the chairman's seat and addressed, "As you'll have heard, the rumors are true, Mr. Manchester indeed bought the industry yesterday, making him acquire all my shares. 99% of the company's shares now belong to Mr. Manchester."
They all clapped, and immediately the door opened as Adam walked in. His presence commands respect and authority. After they were told it was Mr. Manchester, the Supreme General who bought the company, they were all eager to see him, not to mention working with him, it was the greatest privilege. Mr. Lee stood up from his seat, allowing Adam to sit, as the new Chairman of Bulgart Industry. "Thank you all for your trust in me. I'm glad to join you all, and as your new Chairman I ensure to move this industry to a greater height." Adam spoke and everyone clapped. "Furthermore I have a new project already for us to start right away." Adam announced and everyone was shocked. "Wow, so sudden Mr. Manchester, what kind of project?" A female board member asked. "We're building another main branch in Almond City." Everyone gazed at each other, before staring back at Adam. "Isn't that too sudden? And Ray City is the closest to Almond City, we really don't need a main branch there, how about we take it to a more farer district. Or another country, like the African Countries." Another suggested. "Your plan is brilliant. But trust me I know exactly what I'm doing, it is for a very important reason." A smirk curved on his lips. Just when the public thought they had heard enough of Mr. Manchester on the Media. Heavy news hit the country after it was announced that a new major branch will be in Almond City. Many investors and business men who couldn't strike a deal with the company in Ray City were all traveling to Almond City to be able to bag a contract quickly. Everything was going as planned, Adam pulled out his phone from his pocket and made a call. "Hello Stacey, arrange the jet. We're going to Almond City." ….. Racheal was in her office seated with her mother Monica. After divorcing Adam, Drake used his influence to secure deals with several corporations, making Odias ' net worth increase by 12%. Because of this Mr. Luther made her the head of the family's business. Monica crossed her legs, sipping on the wine on the table. "That was hilarious Racheal." They both laughed over their discussion. "I can't believe how our lives have changed after you divorced that bastard."Monica scoffed. "Indeed mum, I believed he must have died by now. Dad said he was transferred to Hell-gate after they got his legs broken." "That's what he deserved. I can't believe he was asking for his kidney back, that asshole!" "Let's forget about Adam ma, he's no more important in our lives." "By the way, have you and Drake spoken lately?" Monica asked, trying to keep their conversation lively. "Well, not exactly, we haven't actually spoken for a week now. I guess we've been super busy with work." Racheal replied, followed with a sigh. "And what about what I told you. You need to move on Rachel, it's been six months since your divorce. You need to find a new partner and Drake is the perfect person." "Mum, can you please not bring that up now? I'm really not ready for marriage, I'm now the chairwoman of the Odia Cooperation, my first priority is to elevate our business higher. I have responsibilities." "That doesn't mean you should neglect your own needs, Racheal. And marrying Drake would also help promote the family's business—" "Please mum. Can we change this topic?" Racheal interrupted her from speaking further.

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
