Monica’s temper ignited. “That bastard! How could he demand something so outrageous?” she hissed, her voice dripping with fury.

The entire Penthouse family exchanged uneasy glances. They knew exactly what Adam was asking for: The Golden Lounge—the crown jewel of Almond City, valued at over $500 million. Handing it over to someone like Adam wasn’t just humiliating; it was financial suicide.

Mr. Penthouse swallowed hard, forcing himself to speak carefully, masking his growing panic. “Mr. Adam, please... this is too much. Surely there’s something else you’d accept?”

For a brief moment, silence blanketed the room—until Jerry, who had been holding his tongue throughout the ordeal, could no longer contain himself. “We can’t give you the Golden Lounge!” he snapped, frustration boiling over. “That suite is worth hundreds of millions! It’s not just our pride—it’s the backbone of our entire income!”

He glared at Adam, fists clenched. At first, Jerry had enjoyed watching Adam torment Drak

    “Don’t come any closer!” Ivy screamed, her voice trembling with both fury and desperation. She backed herself into the corner of the room, clutching the edge of the bed like it was her last defense. “I’m telling the truth! I belong to the Supreme General. He’s on his way right now. If you so much as touch me, he’ll tear you apart limb by limb!”Samson let out a slow, amused chuckle, stripping off his blazer and rolling up his sleeves. The hunger in his eyes was sickening. “Even better,” he said, voice like gravel. “If he’s really your man, I’d love to see the look on his face while I take you for myself.”He lunged forward. Ivy scrambled away, crawling across the bed to the other side, but she was no match for his size. Samson was built like a freight truck—seven feet of brute muscle and foul intent. His looming presence filled the room, suffocating her with dread.“Adam! Help me!” Ivy screamed at the top of her lungs, her voice cracking as she dove off the bed and tried to run. Her b

    Adam didn’t even glance at the check. With a cold, unreadable expression, he turned around and walked away.The slap of his footsteps echoed through the Carter mansion’s marble floor like thunder in Elise’s ears.“You’re out of your mind!” Elise shouted at his back, her voice trembling with rage and disbelief. “Do you really think I’d ever want to be with someone like you?! You’re clinging to this engagement because you want the Carter name, aren’t you?”But Adam didn’t respond. He didn’t even slow down. He vanished down the corridor like a phantom, leaving Elise alone with her pride—and a growing knot of frustration in her chest.She crushed the check in her fist.“What a lunatic...” she muttered bitterly. “Turning down ten million? Who the hell does he think he is?”---After leaving the Carter estate, Adam hailed a black cab and headed straight for the Brooks residence.The Brooks family wasn’t part of the ten great families, but they weren’t far behind either. They had wealth, inf

    Bella couldn’t shake the dread curling in her chest.Ace’s power had already left a lasting impression on everyone—his presence was domineering, his reputation brutal. Not only was he the leader of the Vantacore Organization, but this karaoke lounge was one of their fortified hideouts, crawling with his subordinates.Even with Adam’s earlier show of strength, the odds weren’t in his favor. Ace wasn’t just any thug—he was a grandmaster-level executioner, known for his kill-without-a-trace reputation. And Adam had walked straight into the lion’s den.“He won’t survive…” Bella whispered, her voice trembling.Elise stared at the closed door, her heart battling guilt and disbelief. Her lips trembled as she muttered, “I misjudged you… You walked into that room because of me. I never thought… you’d be the one to protect me.”She lowered her gaze. “If you die in there, I swear—I’ll make sure the world remembers you.”Suddenly, Dorian spoke up beside her, glancing nervously at the karaoke room

    Just then, Adam’s palm thrust forward.The bullet, frozen mid-air just inches from his hand, spun violently—and in a blinding instant, it screamed back through the air.Bang!Ace’s skull erupted like a shattered melon, blood and bone spraying across the room in a grotesque arc. His lifeless body crumpled backward with a dull thud, an expression of disbelief forever frozen on what remained of his face.A sickening silence followed.It wasn’t just shock—it was raw, primal horror.The onlookers stared, as if reality had cracked.One disciple dropped to his knees with a gasp, then another, and another… Until the entire room became a graveyard of groveling men, heads bowed, bodies trembling.No one dared breathe too loud.They weren’t in the presence of a man anymore.They were kneeling before a god of death.Even the bravest among them, those who had trained their entire lives in the Vantacore Organization’s elite combat halls, now looked like broken children.Ace Harker—the man they fear

    “Kill that insolent brat!” Ace roared, his voice echoing through the hall like a war drum.His face twisted in fury, veins bulging from his neck. As one of the four heads of the Vantacore Organization—an underground empire feared across Coastal Flair—Ace wasn’t used to being challenged, let alone humiliated in front of his own men.The air crackled with tension as hundreds of Vantacore disciples lunged forward, their war cries slicing through the silence like knives. Their eyes were filled with murderous intent, their blades gleaming under the ceiling lights. Each man was willing to die, if only to uphold the reputation of their master.From a distance, the charging crowd looked like a tsunami of death.But Adam didn’t flinch.His hands remained behind his back, his expression blank—unmoved, almost bored. A thin gust of wind brushed past his coat.Then—BOOM!A deafening shockwave exploded from Adam’s body with no warning, no visible movement. The first wave of attackers were lifted c

    They lunged at Adam.The first man struck like a viper, blade aiming straight for Adam’s gut.Two more followed, one targeting his chest, the other slashing at his throat.Others swarmed with vicious intent—going for vital points with ruthless precision.But Adam didn’t move.He stood calm, unmoved—expressionless. As if the world had slowed around him. As if their blades didn’t matter.“He deserves it!” Dorian muttered with a twisted smirk, folding his arms.“He had this coming,” Vincent added smugly. “Arrogant punk.”Elise turned her head. Bella covered her mouth, unable to watch.Ace watched with morbid satisfaction. “This is the price of crossing me,” he murmured, savoring every second.But the next moment shattered everything.Clang!The sound of metal hitting something unbreakable.The thugs froze mid-swing—eyes wide with confusion. Their blades hadn't pierced flesh… They’d struck something far harder.It was as if they’d stabbed a slab of solid steel.And then—BOOM!A deafening
