“Stop Rhea, that's not true, it was an honest mistake!” Adam tried to keep her calm.

Suddenly the entire family woke up, rushing to the scene. “What's going on Rhea?” Monica asked with concern.

Immediately Rhea saw her family and she faked a cry making the whole scenario look real. “Mother” she cried and hugged Monica.

“What's wrong Rhea, did someone hurt you?” Monica pet her on the head.

“It's Adam's mother…” she pointed at Adam.

The whole family gazed at Adam, meanwhile his heart skipped and he swallowed hard. “I swear to God it was a mistake”

“You a*s hole! What did you do to my sister?!” Robin, the youngest son, grabbed Adam by the shirt.

“Tell me sweetie what did Adam do to you? And why's your dress ruined?”

“Mother-Adam tried to rape me, I just came in to drink some water and he suddenly grabbed me and started…” she cried harder. “He started harassing me, mother, I tried to escape and he ended up forcing himself on me and ruining my dress” she cooked up a story to cover up the fact that she went out late at night.

“What! How dare you piece of trash!” Monica, excused Rhea and walked up to Adam delivering three hot slaps meanwhile Robin still held his shirt. “How dare you try to sleep with my daughter?”

“That's not true, I didn't try to rape Rhea, you know I would never do that”

“This is an abomination, you tried to rape your own sister in-law, I'll break your bones!” Robin delivered punches on his face.

Adam held his bleeding nose, his clothes were already stained with blood. His cruel Aunty in-law chimed in. “Oh my goodness!” She held her mouth with her hands. “How could you try something this horrible Adam? Monica I suggest you call the police right away, he should be arrested!” she suggested.

Meanwhile Rhea smiled, she had finally gotten her revenge on Adam. Ever since Adam exposed her of taking hard drugs she had had a strong grudge against him. And today he had entered her trap.

“You're not getting away with this Adam, I'll make sure you pay for this and get arrested first thing tomorrow, I'm going to inform Luther about this” she said.

Rhea was glad as she heard her mother planning on telling her father. Her relationship with her father was severed after Adam exposed her to the whole family for taking cocaine and now finally when Luther found out what Adam did to her, his thoughts about her might change and Adam will be the bad one.

Adam fell to his knees and pleaded. “Please ma'am I would never try to do such a thing, I didn't tried to rape Rhea I only hugged her thinking she was my wife, it was with a sleepy eyes I swear to God”

“You disgusting man!” Robin kicked him with his leg, sending Adam lying on the ground.

“You'll answer to the whole family tomorrow, come on Rhea let's go inside” Monica said taking her daughter inside. The rest of the family followed.

Adam remained on the floor, his biggest fear was what Rachael was going to say about this, and also his father in law Luther. He was the only one who seemed to accept Adam a very little bit.

But now everything was about to change, Luther went for a business trip and he'll be returning first thing in the morning for his daughter's birthday party.

“I'm doomed, I'll be in so much trouble tomorrow, God please help me out on this one”

The night ran quickly and it was morning, Adam tried so much not to fall asleep but ended up falling asleep on the couch.

“Adam! Wake up you slum!” The voice of his wife jolted him back to reality.

“R-rachael… you're back. Happy birthday sweet…” he rushed his words to welcome his wife, but unfortunately he received a slap that sent him back on the couch.

“How dare you? What did you do to Rhea?” Rachael said viciously.

“Calm down Rachael, at least let me explain” Adam said getting up on his feet.

“There's nothing to explain!” Rhea walked to the scene and so did the rest of the family.

“You have to deal with him Rachael, divorce this bastard this instance he tried to rape your sister, his own sister in law” Monica added.

“How much more worthless can you be Adam? Today's my birthday for crying out loud and this is how you repay me? By forcing yourself on my sister in my absence?”

“Racheal. Please don't say that, you know I can never do such a thing. You know me too well Rachael.” Adam felt heart broken that even his dear wife thinks such of him.

How could she?

“I agree that I'm a worthless and useless husband, I agree that I'm broke and can't buy you anything expensive. But I'm not a rapist and I can never look at another woman, not to mention your own sister” Adam's voice was trembling as he spoke, his world was colliding.

Rachael looked at his eyes and saw sincerity, she suddenly felt horrible for judging and slapping him after knowing Adam was not such a person. She felt weak all of a sudden. But she still didn't want to show her weakness around him. She still hated him for being broke and worthless and nothing is going to change that.

She turned her gaze at her sister Rhea. Rhea was startled she recognized that look from her sister, it was a look of “I know you're lying Rhea”

“Do…don't believe what he's saying Rachael” Rhea tried to defend herself as her elder sister walked up to her. “Come with me!” Racheal said, dragging her down to her room.

“What're you doing Racheal, don't tell me you believe this scandal?” Her mother tried to stop her.

Rachael dragged Rhea in her room and shut the door. She then gave Rhea two hot slaps.

“Why did you do that? Why did you make up such a lie?” Racheal gestured with her finger.

“Rachel…you slapped me” Rhea asked in shock.

“And I'll do that again if you don't tell me the truth!” Racheal said abruptly. Even if she doesn't have any feelings for Adam, she still felt like Rhea went too far. A rape accusations could send him to jail.

“So you're actually siding him over me?” Rhea faked a tear.

“Don't bring that up. Adam could never do such a thing, I know you're only trying to get back at him for exposing you to dad. You went too far Rhea.”

Rhea clenched her fist, she couldn't believe her sister was taking the side of that good-for-nothing man. What could he even offer?

“I know you were at the club last night, explain this” Racheal said as she went to her drawer and brought out Rhea’s dress that was ruined last night. “Explain what happened to your dress and why you were wearing such a thing in the mansion if you weren't coming from a party. I got a call Rhea you just broke up with that boyfriend of yours Kendrick and you too had a fight”

Rhea was silent, she was caught red handed and she didn't know how to hide the truth any longer, she tried as much as possible to avoid eye contact. But then she spoke up.

“So what Rachael? What if I did, why'd you care so much? Adam needs to get out of this house and I'm only helping you do what you're unable to do. You need to divorce him, I know even you don't like him and are ashamed of him, you're no longer sick and disabled Racheal, you can accept one of your many suitors who are actually millionaires. People like Drake.

“Get rid of that trash, he can't give you true happiness Racheal. You need someone who will match our family's status and make us proud, Adam isn't that man. Wake up Rachael” Rhea held her arms and shook her .

Racheal looked at her sister's eyes and then at the floor, her sister was making a lot of sense. Adam was not adding anything to her life anyways, he's just a barrier to her happiness.

“Even if I want to divorce Adam. You know I can't because of Dad” Rachael said, clenching her fist tight.

    “I don’t know,” she said after a moment, then suddenly grinned, her eyes bright under the moonlight. “If you really need an answer, I guess I fell in love with you at first sight.”Adam chuckled softly, but his gaze remained serious. “But do you truly understand me as a person?” he pressed.Leah fell silent.The playful light in her eyes dimmed slightly as she lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her sleeve. After a long pause, she spoke honestly, “I… I looked into your background during the two years you were gone. I don’t know everything, but I know some things about you.” She lifted her eyes to meet his. “Including your short-lived marriage.”Adam’s pupils shrank.He hadn’t expected that. Few people knew about that chapter of his life, and fewer still dared to bring it up so openly. For a brief moment, memories surfaced—cold vows, broken promises, and a marriage that had ended before it truly began.Seeing his reaction, Leah hesitated, then asked softly b

    “Adam, don’t underestimate Flynn,” Bruce said seriously, his brows knitted together. “He’s one of the rising stars of the younger generation on Cosmo Island. Many elders already see him as a future pillar of the York family.”Harvey nodded so hard his head nearly bobbed off. “Dad’s right. Flynn is terrifying. Among people his age, there’s basically no one who can stand up to him. Adam, you really need to be careful.”Leah nodded as well, her concern written plainly on her face. “Adam, please let my dad see you off tomorrow. Just in case.”Adam listened quietly, then asked calmly, “What cultivation level is Flynn York at now?”Bruce answered after a brief pause, “He’s on the verge of entering the Divine Realm. One step away.”At that, Adam smiled—a faint, dismissive curve of his lips that carried a hint of arrogance.“So he hasn’t entered the Divine Realm yet,” he said lightly. “Then why should I fear him?”Bruce was taken aback. “Adam… and what about you?”Adam straightened slightly.

    Leah hesitated for a heartbeat—then, before Adam could react, she rose onto her tiptoes and pressed a light kiss against his cheek.It was soft and fleeting, but warm enough to make Adam stiffen slightly.Only after pulling away did Leah realize what she had just done.Her cheeks instantly flushed crimson.She glanced around and froze—her parents and brother were all watching.Harvey was the first to recover. He burst out laughing and clapped his hands exaggeratedly.“Hey, Adam, that’s unfair! If you’re giving out gifts, I want one too!”Adam chuckled, shaking his head. “You really don’t know shame, do you?”Still, he reached into his storage pouch and handed Harvey a Nourishing Pill. “Here. Catch.”Harvey caught it with both hands, eyes lighting up. “Thanks, Adam!” Then, grinning mischievously, he leaned forward. “Since Leah gets a kiss, I should get one too, right?”Before he could get any closer, Adam shoved him away without mercy.“Get lost,” Adam snapped, half-laughing, half-anno

    The divine energy within Adam’s body grew denser and more refined, surging through his meridians like molten steel. Every breath he took felt heavier, more grounded, as if his very existence had been tempered by fire. His martial strength rose explosively, far beyond what it had been just hours ago.The effects of the Essence Nourishing Pills exceeded his expectations.After consuming only three pills, he successfully broke through and stabilized at the late-stage grandmaster realm. For ordinary cultivators, this would already be considered a shocking leap—something that might take years of seclusion and countless resources.But Adam had no intention of stopping there.Without hesitation, he refined and consumed two more pills, seamlessly cycling between cultivation and pill refinement. His control over divine energy was frighteningly precise, and the Eternal Rebirth Codex guided every surge, every compression, every refinement with ruthless efficiency.When the energy from the next p

    An hour later, a thick, sweet fragrance slowly seeped out from the alchemy pot, filling the secret room with a rich, intoxicating aroma. The scent was warm and mellow, carrying a faint medicinal sweetness that lingered in the air.Adam inhaled deeply.Just that single breath made his spirit feel refreshed, as though fatigue and impurities were being washed away. Even before opening the pot, he could sense a subtle vibration within his body—his divine energy was reacting on its own.He waited patiently, eyes fixed on the alchemy pot, until the timing was perfect.Only then did he lift the lid.A surge of rich fragrance burst forth, flooding the room in an instant. The smell was not only pleasant—it was stimulating. Adam felt his divine energy stir violently, circulating faster without any conscious effort on his part.If merely smelling the pills could trigger such a reaction, one could only imagine how terrifying their effects would be once consumed.Adam reached into the alchemy pot

    Moments later, Adam carefully lifted the piece of metal from the surface of the Divine Code.At first glance, it looked ordinary—dull, cold, and unremarkable. But as he angled it toward the light, faint symbols shimmered into existence. Lines of extremely fine text crawled across the metal like living threads, so tiny that they were invisible to the naked eye.Adam quickly retrieved a magnifying glass and leaned closer.His pupils shrank.His breathing hitched.“The Divine Code… really does contain the techniques for the second transformation!” he exclaimed, unable to suppress the surge of excitement coursing through him.For the first time since the auction, his heart truly settled.The Eternal Rebirth Codex consisted of nine chapters, each one corresponding to a terrifyingly difficult transformation. Adam had already completed the first. But without the second, his cultivation path would come to a grinding halt. No matter how much spiritual energy he accumulated or how many pills he
