Tessa’s heart pounded. Panic gripped her as she shoved Adam aside and scrambled in front of Marvin. Without hesitation, she dropped to her knees.

But just as she bowed her head, Marvin’s eyes locked onto the necklace around her neck—the Cursed Idol Amulet.

His expression froze.

Adam had returned the necklace to Tessa after rescuing her from the kidnapers.

Seeing the necklace around her neck it was obvious. She's the Supreme General's woman.

Everything suddenly clicked in Marvin’s mind. The rescue. Adam’s calm confidence. The throne. The amulet.

He felt like ice water had been poured over him.

“Ms. Armand—please, stand up! There’s no need for that,” Marvin stammered, pale as a sheet. He rushed forward and helped her up, hands trembling slightly.

This woman… was the Supreme General’s partner. And she had just kneeled before him. He could be killed for letting her kneel down before him.

Samuel, meanwhile, completely misread the situation. A smug smile spread across his face.

He thought M

    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

    “Mr. Manchester… thank you,” Bella’s voice cracked, eyes glistening. “But please—send them away. Don’t sacrifice yourself for us.”Tears filled Elise’s eyes, regret etched deep on her face. “You warned us, Adam. We didn’t listen. Now it’s our mess—not yours.”Their pleas hovered in the tense silence. But Adam remained rooted, unflinching as he faced Ace.Ace let out a chilling laugh that sent ice through everyone’s veins. His grin twisted with cruel amusement.“What if I refuse to let them go?” he snarled.Calm and confidently, Adam replied, “Because you’ll lose—today.”Gasps echoed around the room.Dorian immediately stepped back, his voice shaky: “Mr. Harker, whatever he thinks, we’re not involved.”Logan followed suit. “Yes! We didn’t bring him here. You should punish him—not us.”Vincent jabbed in with fear in his eyes: “We’re not going to die for his fantasy.”They scurried away—abandoning Adam in the lion’s den.Ace leaned forward, eyes narrowing dangerously. “You’ve got some ne

    Realizing Logan was useless, Luna’s voice quivered as she turned to the only one left who might help. “Mr. Grant… please…”Dorian clenched his fists, then took a steadying breath. He stepped forward and addressed the room with as much composure as he could muster.“Mr. Harker. Mr. Pitt. With all due respect, let’s not involve the women in this. As the heir of the Grant family, I’m asking for a bit of restraint… and decency.”Ace leaned back in his seat, a faint smirk curving his lips. “Respect for the Grant family?” he echoed lazily. “Of course.”Dorian’s shoulders relaxed slightly. “Thank you, Mr. Harker—”“But,” Ace cut in sharply, his voice turning cold. “You can leave. The women stay.”The room fell deathly silent.Ace’s eyes swept over the group like a predator selecting his prey. “I’ll keep the three—Luna, Bella, and her.”He nodded toward Elise.Luna and Bella froze in terror. Elise, wide-eyed, took a half-step back. Her heart pounded violently in her chest.Ace’s gaze lingered

    Adam shook his head with a faint, bitter smile but followed along, his steps steady and quiet as the group headed toward the Celestial Room.Inside, the lavish chamber glowed under a crystal chandelier. Gold-trimmed furniture, velvet upholstery, and an atmosphere thick with expensive cigar smoke painted a scene of careless wealth.Dorian lounged confidently, sipping from a glass of aged scotch, still oblivious to the storm barreling his way. The moment he spotted the man leading the approaching group, his demeanor shifted.He stepped forward. "I’m Dorian, eldest son of the Grant family. What exactly do you plan to do with my friend?"The man before him gave a cold, crooked smile."The Grant family? That name means little to me."Dorian's brows furrowed. He was about to snap back when his gaze landed on the woman clinging to the man’s side—Chloe.Everyone knew who she was—Ace Harker’s mistress.His voice caught in his throat. "You... you’re Mr. Harker?"The man chuckled darkly. "At lea
