"Enough with the joke trash. What the hell are you doing here? Who let you in?" Drake asked bitterly.

"I just told you, this is my company." Adam gestured.

"You?" Drake pointed at his clothes, it was a rag compared to what Drake was wearing. Even if Adam looked good facially, his clothes were still shabby. How dare he brag about being the owner of Bulgart Industry?

Drake went hot red, "How dare you make such claims, I will report you to the authorities for false claims. We all know this industry belongs to Mr. Manchester, you'll be sorry when he finds out you're impersonating him, he's a war General you trash!"

"Go ahead then, I can't keep explaining this to you. And by the way, what are you two doing here?" Adam asked.

Drake laughed, "is that supposed to be a joke? Of course we came to see Mr. White, my family was selected as one of the contractors. And I'm going to help my future wife, Racheal, bag a contract too." He then wrapped his hands around her waist again. Racheal was feeling uncomfortable but she had to endure as long as it'll push Adam away.

"Future wife? So it means you two aren't even married yet?" Adam scoffed. He couldn't believe he went through so much drama because of Drake and he couldn't even marry Racheal.

"What do you mean asshole? We're going to get married!" Drake flared in anger.

"You're so stupid Drake. Isn't it obvious that Racheal is just using you? I doubt she truly loves you." Adam taunted.

They weren't far from the gate, so everyone outside could hear their conversation. Racheal felt embarrassed when all eyes were shot at her, she wouldn't want anyone to think she indeed used Drake, during her birthday party, rumors had already spread that she was dating Drake and she wanted it to remain that way, until she achieved what she wanted completely.

"Don't listen to him, Drake, you know he's a liar."

"I believe you babe. I know you love me." Drake quickly shrugged the thought of Racheal using him off his head.

"After all your efforts to kick me out of your life, how's that working out for you. You went as far as sending me to prison. I expect you to be married to Drake by now, I mean isn't he the reason we got divorced in the first place?" Adam continued to fuel the conversation with pressure.

Racheal felt attacked, Adam was speaking facts, she only used Drake to kick him out, she doesn't really love Drake.

"Poor Drake, I'm sure you haven't even kissed my ex wife."

"Shut up you trash! Or I'll send you back to where you came from!" Drake was vibrating in rage, he was going to tear Adam apart, but again Adam was speaking facts. He hasn't even kissed Racheal, she kept turning him down after she divorced Adam.

"You talk a lot for a man, Drake. you're pathetic!"

    The doctor pressed his forehead against the icy metal wall, his knuckles white against it. His voice faltered. “I… I honestly… I have no idea where the other labs are… or where the captives are kept.”Adam tightened his grip briefly, then sighed and let him go. “how could you not know anything? you're just useless.”The doctor nodded weakly. “All I know is… there are more… many more… Scientists like me… soldiers… creatures… all working under Cross-Blood’s orders. But I… I don't know where… please… please, I’m not a monster… just… a tool.”For a moment, silence fell — heavy, oppressive, filled with promises of future danger. Adam turned away, pressed a small button on his earpiece, and called Voss.“Voss.”“Yes, boss?” Voss’s voice crackled in his ear.“Call the police… and the ambulance. Get everyone in this lab — soldiers, doctor… all of them — into proper custody.”“Got it.”Adam exhaled and pressed forward. “And we need to talk… about what comes next.”A few minutes later, Voss sto

    The alarm wailed, bouncing off metal and tile, a piercing chorus that seemed to celebrate the monstrosities now staggering off their gurneys.Adam tightened his knuckles, exhaling a deep, icy breath. His pulse remained calm — nearly impossible under the pressure — but a spark glimmered in his eyes.He darted forward, a silhouette against a riot of purple-eyed soldiers. His first punch landed squarely against a massive shoulder — normally enough to stagger a grown man — but this specimen barely budged. Instead, it grabbed Adam’s wrist with a grip like a vice.Adam tried to break free, shifting his weight and adding force, but the creature remained anchored, immovable. With a single squeeze, it nearly crushed his wrist, forcing him back a step.“That’s what I’m talking about.” The doctor’s voice rose above the alarm, a sinister thread tying chaos together. He pressed against a control rail, smiling through bloody lips. “Did you really think you’d match them… match us?”He staggered forw

    Adam stood in the dimly lit chamber, surrounded by countless human experiments suspended on metal tables. His knuckles tightened, and a deep rage rose within him.Suddenly, from a hidden side room, a man in a white lab coat walked in, casually wiping his bloody gloves on a piece of cloth. His piercing green eyes fell directly on Adam.The doctor clicked his tongue. “Who are you… and what are you doing here?”Adam remained silent for a moment, letting the silence weigh heavy in the air. His jaw tightened. “The real question is… what the hell are you doing to these people?”The doctor sighed and straightened his glasses. “If you know what’s best for you… you should leave immediately. All else… will not be leaving here alive.”Adam’s stare remained icy. “I’m not going anywhere… until you answer me.”The doctor pressed a small button on his wristband. “Too late. You chose this path.”Suddenly, hidden doors opened all around the chamber. Seven soldiers in black tactical gear marched in, th

    The dimly lit entrance fell silent except for the rhythmic drip of water somewhere in the distance. Adam kept walking forward, unfazed by the oppressive silence and the piercing gaze of the guard who stood in his path.“Hey… place is closed. Come back tomorrow.” The man tried to make his voice firm, but it trembled just a little under Adam’s piercing stare.Adam remained silent, letting his knuckles crack quietly as his hands tightened into fists. The man raised his voice, suspicion battling confusion. “Hey! Did you hear me, friend?”For a moment, the only answer was the rustling of Adam’s clothes as he walked forward a step.The man pressed on, trying to assert himself. “I said we’re closed. Whatever you’re looking for… it’s not here.”Adam sighed softly and nodded. “See… you shouldn’t have asked me that.”The guard faltered. “E-8-Day delivery?”Adam’s face remained a mask of calm. “Who told you…?”“It doesn’t matter who.” His knuckles tightened, a spark of danger glimmered in his ey

    Adam sat quietly in his dimly lit room, the silence heavy like a blanket over his shoulders. He peeled off his shirt, revealing a scar-laced chest—remnants of battles long buried in memory. A dull ache pulsed beneath his ribs.He crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and exhaled slowly.A faint glow shimmered around him—soft and golden, like ripples in still water. His breathing steadied. Energy coiled and flowed within him, moving through meridians like warm rivers of power. But just as the peace settled, a sharp jolt cut through his side."Still there," he muttered, grimacing. His hand pressed against his ribs.His thoughts wandered back—years ago, after the war on the western border. The final siege. The blood-soaked cliffs. That last fight had left him with a wound no healer could fix. Not fully.He needed the Three Amulets.He already had one—the cursed Idol Amulet—safely hidden, which he kept with Tessa.Two remained.Without them, he could only suppress the pain… not erase it.He

    “Mr. Albert!” Hope called out, her voice sharp with desperation. But Albert didn’t even glance back. He was already halfway down the corridor, his footsteps echoing as he vanished around the corner like a man possessed. Hope stood frozen for a second, then snapped. “That coward!” she hissed, turning on her heels. “He just left us behind like garbage!” Across the room, Adam stood casually, arms folded, a faint smirk dancing on his lips as if the chaos around him were nothing more than entertainment. Hope’s eyes locked onto him. “You!” she barked, pointing a trembling, furious finger. “You’re the one who brought this cursed luck into this house!” Adam raised a brow but said nothing. “We were this close—this close—to sealing the deal with Dragon Group. Everything was aligning perfectly. Then you showed up, like a fly in the ointment!” “Mom…” Ava stepped forward, grabbing her arm gently, trying to keep her grounded. “Calm down—please.” “No! I won’t calm down, Ava!” Hope
