Chapter 316
"AHHH!" The bodyguard shrieked in agony.His arm hung limp, bones shattered from the impact of Adam’s punch. His body trembled, unable to process the pain fast enough.Before he could even think of retreating, Adam moved.He jabbed a single finger into the man’s chest.It looked effortless. Like flicking dust off a shirt.But the result?A wet splurt echoed.Blood exploded out from the back of the guard as if he'd been stabbed clean through by a spear.The man’s eyes bulged, disbelief written all over his face. He looked down, mouth agape, trying to understand what had just happened.Then he collapsed—lifeless.Gasps shot through the crowd like bullets."What the...?" Silas’s voice cracked, his eyes locked on Adam in utter disbelief.The entire hall froze.People had expected Adam to be broken, humiliated, left twitching on the marble floor.But what they witnessed was something else entirely.He hadn’t just fought back—he’d killed a man with two moves.Ruthlessly. Precisely. Without
Chapter 315
The room cracked with tension. Rage surged like a current waiting to snap.Damon’s fists were clenched so tightly, his knuckles had turned white. His chest rose and fell with rapid fury, every breath louder than the last. He looked one second away from launching himself at Adam."You arrogant son of a—""Enough!" Tessa cut in, panic flashing in her eyes. Her voice wavered between fear and frustration. “Adam, stop this madness! You’re bluffing, and everyone here knows it! Keep running your mouth like this, and even I won’t be able to protect you!”Adam turned to her slowly, a calm smirk dancing at the edge of his lips. "Protect me?" he repeated, like the words amused him. “I’m not the one who needs protection. And I’m not bluffing. I’m just being honest.”His voice dropped, smooth as ice.“The Cross family? Insignificant. Ants.”Gasps rippled through the crowd like a wave slapping stone.“You bastard!” Eleanor barked, her eyes flaring. “A loser like you has no right to insult the Cross
Chapter 314
Adam’s eyes narrowed slightly.So that’s what this was…She had agreed to marry Damon—not out of love, not for status—but as a bargain for his life.Damon turned to her, his expression twisting with fake grievance and righteous fury. He pointed at the black coffin like it was radioactive.“I planned to spare this clown,” Damon roared, voice echoing off the marble pillars. “But look what he brought us on our wedding day! A coffin! My family demands blood. If I let this insult slide, how do I face them?!”The crowd murmured in agreement. The air shifted again—this time with hostility.Tessa stepped in front of Adam, her hands trembling, eyes pleading. “He’s not thinking straight. He’s just angry and impulsive. Damon, I’m begging you. Please… let this go. Just this once.”Damon clenched his fists, jaw ticking with rage. He wanted to drag Adam out and tear him apart. But the way Tessa stood—protective, determined—made his gut twist.He couldn’t risk losing her.Not now.So instead, he gav

Damon lips curved into a condescending smile. “So you finally know your place, Adam,” he said, his voice dripping with mockery. “Good. Now, let’s see this so-called gift of yours. If it amuses me, maybe I’ll let the past go.”The crowd chuckled and murmured, half-relieved that the scene might end peacefully, half-hungry for the drama to escalate.But behind Damon’s arrogant smirk, something darker simmered.He didn’t plan to let Adam walk away from this.He only wanted to pacify the situation long enough to avoid a scandal mid-ceremony. Once the vows were said and the cameras off, Adam would pay—in blood.Adam stepped forward calmly, a glint of cold amusement dancing in his eyes. “You’ll love it. With this gift, I can guarantee you’ll never have to worry about shelter again,” he said smoothly.He turned slightly and snapped his fingers.At that instant, the six men from the Supreme Pavilion—dressed in black suits with golden pins—pulled back the red silk cloth covering the large objec

David was also furious “Adam, you piece of trash!” he bellowed, stepping forward, face red with rage. “You humiliated yourself at the Deity Banquet, and if it weren’t for Stacey Gold stepping in, you’d be rotting in a ditch! Instead of crawling back into the hole you came from, you show up here—again—to stir trouble? You got a death wish or something?!”His voice cracked at the end, revealing more panic than he intended.Behind him, members of the Armand family chimed in like hyenas backing their wounded leader.“Throw him out before he curses this marriage!”“The Cross family is our ticket to power—he won’t ruin this for us!”“Security, what are you waiting for?! This man’s an insect!”The words tumbled over one another, each more venomous than the last. The Armand family had spent months groveling at the Cross family’s feet, clawing for a chance to rise again. Now that Damon Cross was about to marry into their bloodline, the last thing they could afford… was Adam.He represented fai
Chapter 311
Just as Damon reached for the ring, the cathedral doors thundered open with a violent bang that silenced the entire hall. Heads snapped toward the entrance. The string quartet froze mid-note. The emcee stuttered, unsure whether to continue or run. A cold, mocking voice echoed through the marble chamber: “Your weakling gift has arrived.” Everyone turned. A group of strangers marched into the venue like they owned the place—like they’d been waiting for this exact moment. At the front walked a man in a black trench coat that dusted the floor with every step. He moved with quiet intensity, his presence heavier than the silence that followed him. His jaw was clenched, his gaze razor-sharp, and there was a storm behind those eyes—a storm everyone present thought they had weathered two months ago. Adam. But this wasn’t the Adam they remembered. Gone was the man they mocked at the Deity Banquet, the man they spat on and kicked while he was down. This Adam looked… dangerous. Reborn
