Chapter 293: The Divine Code
The whispers had always been there.Three legendary amulets—two known, one cursed—rumored to converge upon a power so ancient and overwhelming, it could alter the very fabric of existence.Scholars believed they would lead to an artifact, a relic lost to time, one that could catapult a mere practitioner into godhood.But it was just that—rumors. Speculation. No one had seen the artifact. No one had proven its existence.Except for one thing…The Divine Code was different.It wasn't a myth. It wasn’t folklore. It was celestial truth.Adam’s late mentor, a man who had walked in shadows darker than night itself, once told him:“The Divine Code is not a tool—it’s fate, power, and resurrection all written in a single language no man was meant to read. Whoever obtains it… obtains the world.”The words had stayed with him.His mentor had seen it once—only once—during the chaos of a forgotten war. But just as quickly as it appeared, it vanished… swallowed by time and tragedy.Adam had been se

Talia’s words still lingered in the air like a challenge.Adam stood silent, conflicted. He couldn’t bring himself to outright reject her. Not after everything she’d done. Not after she welcomed him back like family when others saw nothing but a nobody in a plain shirt.After all these years, she’d remained loyal to his mother’s memory, even preserving the engagement between him and Elise. An engagement made in innocence—between two children, sealed by hope and trust. How could he insult that?His thoughts were interrupted by the arrival of Maddox Carter—Talia’s husband, and the head of the Carter family.Maddox entered like a storm—broad-shouldered, suited, and radiating arrogance. Where Talia was warm and graceful, Maddox was rigid, cold. His calculating gaze landed on Adam like a hammer to stone.“You must be Adam,” Maddox said, his voice clipped and sharp. “Come. Let’s talk.”He led Adam into the study without waiting for an answer.Once the door clicked shut behind them, Maddox w

“Where is the Marhood family’s island located?” Adam asked, his voice low but laced with urgency, each word hitting like a drumbeat in the quiet room.Talia shook her head slowly, lips tightening. “I don’t know, Adam. I’ve never been there. I only know of it.”Adam’s gaze shifted to Elise, who was reclining on the armrest of a nearby chair, arms crossed, eyes bored. “And you? You’ve been there. Surely, you remember something.”Elise rolled her eyes, clearly irritated by the interrogation. “Don’t look at me like that. I wasn’t exactly the one steering the damn boat.”“Elise,” Adam said sharply, stepping toward her. “You were physically on the island. You must remember where you left from, or something you saw. A landmark. A sign. Anything.”“We went by yacht, okay?” she snapped. “After flying in on a helicopter. And when you’re out at sea for hours, you lose all sense of direction. There’s nothing but water on all sides.”“You flew in? Where did the helicopter land before the yacht pic

"Madam, I've brought Mr. Manchester," Aria announced as she stepped into the sprawling hall, her voice crisp and respectful.The doors closed behind Adam with a soft thud, muffled by the rich carpeting beneath his feet. The air inside smelled of sandalwood and old money—polished wood, vintage books, and power passed through generations.Across the room, Talia Carter stood.Dignified. Commanding. Draped in a velvet green gown that whispered class, age, and influence.Her eyes landed on him, sharp yet warm."You must be Adam," she said, her voice deep and clear. "My God… You’re the spitting image of your father."Adam took a step forward, composed but wary. “Aunt Talia,” he greeted, bowing his head slightly in respect.It was their first meeting, but there was something in her tone—a strange warmth that poked at his long-buried memories.Talia’s lips curled into a soft smile. She reached for his hand and gestured to the couch beside her. “Come. Sit. You’ve had a long journey.”He follow

Adam’s grip on Aria’s shoulders was firm but not aggressive—desperate, as if the last thread of his past had suddenly yanked him from the void. Behind her, the suited men stiffened like drawn bows, a single command away from unleashing force.But Aria raised her hand sharply. “Stand down.”Her voice was calm, yet held enough authority to snap the tension like brittle glass.She turned back to Adam, her eyes softening. “Mr. Manchester... our madam has been searching for your mother for years. Only recently, we uncovered something—new leads. There's a chance... your mother might still be alive.”Adam froze.His mind blanked for a heartbeat. His hands slowly released her shoulders. “Alive?” he whispered.Aria nodded. “We believe so.”For a man like Adam—who had faced down gun barrels, buried brothers-in-arms, and walked out of warzones soaked in blood—few things could still shake him. Tessa was one. The mysterious artifact was another. But his mother? That was sacred. Untouchable.“Take

“Stop! Don’t touch him!”The voice rang out like a whipcrack in the silent hospital corridor.It wasn’t just loud—it was commanding, almost regal, freezing everyone in place like a blade drawn in a sacred hall.Heads snapped toward the entrance.From the gleaming double doors of the hospital lobby, a woman strode in with unshakable authority. She was tall, maybe in her late twenties, dressed in a tailored black miniskirt and blazer that screamed power without saying a word.Her long hair flowed like a river of obsidian, and her heels clicked sharply against the tile, each step echoing like a countdown.Her face was serene, but there was something cold in her eyes—like a silent storm coiled behind a polished front. She wasn’t here for drama. She was here for business.Behind her followed over a dozen men in pitch-black suits. Their movement was flawless—sharp, precise, and synchronized like a special ops unit. The way they spread out wordlessly around the room made one thing clear: thi
