Just as Adam stepped forward to present his invitation at the entrance, a sneering voice rang out behind him.

“Well, look who decided to show up.”

Adam turned around, eyes narrowing.

It was Samuel—flanked by Tessa’s family. Wendy, Brenda, and Henry were all there, still showing signs of their recent injuries, yet clearly unwilling to miss the spotlight of the evening.

The moment they saw Adam, their expressions twisted in irritation. But none of them dared to confront him head-on—not anymore. He’d proven too dangerous.

Still, Samuel wore a smug grin, confidence radiating from him. With his new status as the soon-to-be godson of Lord Chaosbreaker, and Triston—Marvin’s right-hand man—set to eliminate Adam tonight, Samuel felt invincible.

Tessa arrived moments later, walking with Stacey at her side. Stacey gave Adam a small nod of acknowledgement.

Adam met Tessa’s gaze briefly. His expression softened, but only for a second. Then he turned back toward the entrance.

“Hey!” Samuel barked,

    The room was tense, still echoing with the beeping machines and the fading pulse of Mr. Langston's near-death experience. Sweat clung to every brow, and hearts still raced from what they had just witnessed. Yet despite it all—despite the miracle they'd all seen with their own eyes—the snide remarks returned almost immediately.Dr. Ross adjusted his coat, sneering at Adam. "Even if you did something, you're still not qualified. You have no medical license. You don't belong here."Adam's jaw tightened, his voice cutting through the room like a blade. "I just brought a man back from the brink of death. While the rest of you stood around with your degrees and your arrogance, I saved him. And now you're questioning me?""You're nothing," Zayden interjected, stepping forward with that same smugness that had painted his face from the moment he walked in. His voice carried like he owned the hospital. "How dare you speak to us like that? Do you have any idea who you're talking to?"Adam turned

    The corridor was still ringing with Dr. Faye’s eager bow when Adam finally stepped forward, his voice calm — but it cut through the moment like a blade.“So now… family-only suddenly includes outsiders too?”Dr. Faye blinked, caught off guard.Zayden paused mid-smirk, slowly turning his head toward Adam with thinly veiled contempt.Adam continued, voice even, “Because a minute ago, you were blocking me from entering that room — said I wasn’t family. But now, the red carpet’s rolled out because he brought a famous name?”Dr. Faye’s smile vanished.“Excuse me?” she snapped. “Who do you think you are? How dare you compare yourself to Mr. Zayden Rhys? One of the wealthiest men in the city? And Dr. Ross is the most celebrated surgeon in Royal City!”Zayden folded his arms, scoffing. “Trash like you should know when to shut up. I brought in the best man in the country to save Mr. Langston — and you’re what, some driver playing hero in a white knight fantasy? Stay in your lane.”Adam’s gaze

    THE DIVINE HOSPITAL The emergency entrance of Divine Hospital buzzed with quiet urgency — the sterile white lights above buzzed faintly, the scent of antiseptic clung to the air.Adam pulled up with a screech.Before the car had even come to a full stop, Ava threw the door open and bolted out, her heels clacking violently against the pavement.“Dad!” she called out, voice tight with panic. “Where’s my father?!”Hope followed behind her, still visibly shaken, clutching her purse against her chest like a shield.Adam exited last, locking the car with a single tap. His eyes scanned the glass doors ahead. His mind wasn’t racing — it was calculating. Fast.They stormed through the sliding doors into the lobby.A young female doctor approached them immediately, clipboard in hand, wearing the standard Divine coat with a name tag that read: Dr. Lena Faye.“You’re the Langston family, correct?” she asked.“Yes,” Ava nodded breathlessly. “We’re here for my father, Bernard Langston.”Dr. Faye g

    The silence in the lab was thick with the scent of smoke, dust, and blood.Adam stood still, towering over Draven’s unconscious body. The veins that once pulsed violently beneath the man’s skin now dimmed like dying embers.With one last glance, Adam turned his back on the wreckage and pulled out his phone. The screen flickered to life, revealing a name glowing on the display: Mia.He tapped to call.The line connected almost immediately.“Boss!” Mia’s voice came through, crisp, steady, and laced with adrenaline. “We’ve secured all the target zones. Every lab that showed up on the satellite grid has been hit.”“Status?” Adam asked, his voice low and controlled.“We’re administering the antidote now. The former test subjects... most of them are stable. Side effects are minimal so far. They’ll all be cured in a few hours, if nothing changes.”Adam exhaled slowly, his knuckles relaxing slightly.“And what about the higher-ups?” he asked, his tone sharpening. “The ones running this nightm

    The silence in the lab was deafening.Bodies of the experimented humans lay strewn across the floor—twitching, broken, gasping their final breaths. Their twisted forms contorted unnaturally, enhanced muscle tissue ruptured beyond repair.Adam stood in the middle of the carnage, untouched. His uniform remained spotless, his breathing steady, his expression unreadable.The Supreme General, in the flesh.To Draven, the sight was sickening.“You really don’t disappoint,” Draven sneered, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth, eyes narrowing with cold malice. His smirk faltered as the reality sank in—the so-called legend was every bit the nightmare the stories whispered about.Draven’s fists clenched at his sides, frustration simmering beneath his skin.Adam didn’t speak.His sharp, hawk-like eyes remained locked on Draven, analyzing every twitch of muscle, every shift in posture.Then, Draven reached into his coat pocket, pulling out a small metallic capsule, etched with Cross Blood’s

    The Next NightIt was 11:30 PM when the intel finally came through.Inside the Silver Squad’s secure briefing room, the air was heavy. Dim lights cast shadows across sharp faces. The hum of a holographic map pulsed softly in the center of the table, blue light washing over them.The squad was locked in, their expressions tight, jaws clenched. No one cracked a smile here. Not tonight.Adam stood at the head, arms crossed, watching, listening. His sharp grey eyes never missed a detail.Ivy, the team’s strategist, leaned over the table, fingers tapping against the map. “We’ve got movement,” she began, her voice steady but low, the tension riding under her words. “Matches Cross Blood activity. Remote site. Thirty miles out — old industrial zone, tucked in the forest. Energy readings are off the charts. Heavy electronic jamming, just like the last one.”Mira’s eyes narrowed. “Presidential intel backs this up?”Ivy gave a short nod. “Confirmed. Surveillance drones caught enough. It’s anothe
