As Adam and the Elder fought in a chaotic blur of fists and raw power, each collision sent shockwaves through the broken battlefield. Dust kicked up around them. Cracks spread under their feet. The Elder’s breathing had grown ragged, his rhythm sloppy—but Adam didn’t let up.

Then—

A dark shadow suddenly appeared on a rooftop nearby.

The air shifted.

The shadow lunged forward like a falling star.

It was the Phoenix King.

His black cloak whipped behind him as he charged. A massive obsidian blade gleamed in his hands, slicing down through the air with terrifying momentum. His target? Adam’s exposed back.

He didn’t scream a challenge, it was execution.

The blade came down fast—aimed to kill.

The Phoenix King wasn’t reckless. He was cold. Calculated. He’d waited in silence, hiding his presence, studying Adam’s movement. He’d watched Adam take injuries. He’d seen him spit blood. He’d waited until the exact moment Adam seemed distracted and cornered—only then did he strike.

    Adam didn’t move to free Tessa immediately. He stood in front of the trembling men, his gaze sharp and merciless.“Take your own lives as atonement,” he said, his voice devoid of any warmth.There was no hesitation. The masked men knew who he was. They had heard the stories, the whispered nightmares about the Supreme General. What he did to those who crossed him. Suicide wasn’t surrender—it was mercy.Without a word, one by one, they lifted their blades to their throats. The dull scrape of steel against skin was followed by wet, sickening sounds as blood poured freely. Bodies dropped in succession, lifeless and still.Not one screamed. Not one begged.Adam turned away without so much as a glance, as though their deaths were nothing more than a formality.He stepped toward Tessa, crouched before her, and peeled the duct tape off her lips with surprising care. Then he cut the ropes binding her wrists and ankles with one fluid motion.Tessa’s breath caught as she tore off the blindfold.

    The moment the men in black saw the man's face clearly, their expressions shattered.Pupils shrank. Breath caught in their throats. It was as if Death himself had stepped into the room.Their limbs went cold. Knees buckled. Fingers twitched uncontrollably on the grips of their weapons.Their instincts screamed louder than any command ever had: Run.But it was already too late.Even Hagon—brutal, seasoned, and merciless—felt his composure slipping like sand through his fingers. Still, he forced his spine to stay straight, jaw clenched tight.But the dagger in his hand wavered.With a last breath of false courage, he lunged forward and grabbed Tessa, yanking her upright. His blade pressed tightly against the side of her neck, biting into skin. A thin red line formed beneath the pressure.“Don’t take another step!” he shouted hoarsely, voice cracking with strain. “I’ll do it! I’ll kill her right here!”The other masked men scrambled to mimic him, pressing trembling swords and daggers aga

    “Boss, what’s so funny?” one of the men asked, glancing sideways at Hagon, his voice laced with suspicion.Hagon’s grin widened, his teeth gleaming beneath the flickering warehouse light. “Just got off the phone with the Phoenix King.”The room went still.“He gave the green light,” Hagon continued, his voice soaked in glee. “He said we can do whatever we want with these two… then report back to base.”A ripple of wicked excitement spread through the room.“No way... seriously?”“That’s the best damn news I’ve heard all week!”“You pick first, boss!”The masked men whooped and clapped, their self-restraint completely unraveling. They stared hungrily at the two women like hyenas circling fresh meat.Tessa and Nyra sat frozen in their chairs, duct tape still clamped across their lips, blindfolds damp from the sweat and tears soaking into the fabric. Their shoulders trembled, fingers twitching helplessly at the ropes binding them.Hagon took a slow, deliberate step toward Tessa. His shad

    Tessa and Nyra sat tied to metal chairs in the center of a cold, rust-stained warehouse on the outskirts of Storm City. The smell of oil, mildew, and cigarette smoke hung thick in the air. Their wrists were bound tightly behind their backs with coarse rope, ankles shackled to the chair legs. Duct tape sealed their mouths, and black blindfolds robbed them of sight—but not sound.And what they heard made their blood run cold.Heavy boots scraped against the cracked concrete floor as a dozen men loomed nearby, all clad in black tactical gear, faces masked except for their hungry, gleaming eyes.“Damn…” one of them muttered, his voice thick with heat. “Look at this one. Skin like milk. You could squeeze water from it, no joke.”Another let out a breathless chuckle. “And her legs… shit, they’re smoother than anything I’ve ever seen. So soft, so clean. Just imagine running your hands up—”“Shut it,” a third snapped, though his own voice trembled with restraint. “We’re just watching them. Th

    After saying this, Adam finally let go.Vanguard Ghost staggered backward, coughing, then nodded to his men. The Elder gave a quick signal, and within moments, a convoy of black-clad figures disappeared into the jungle, heading for the waiting armored vehicles. The engines roared, and within seconds, they were gone—kicking up dust and betrayal in their wake.Adam didn’t waste a second.He turned and sprinted down the jungle path, boots hammering against damp earth, wind slicing past his face. His heart pounded—not from exertion, but from rage and fear. The kind of fear that doesn’t admit weakness—only urgency. He needed to get back. Now.Vanguard Ghost’s words echoed in his mind like a curse.“If I don’t make contact within an hour…”Adam’s fists clenched as he ran.That man was a liar—a snake—and Adam had only released him to buy himself time. The promise of freedom meant nothing when your wife and sister-in-arms were at the mercy of monsters.Up ahead, the jungle parted, revealing t

    “What did you just say?”Adam’s voice dropped an octave, low and deadly. In a blink, his hand shot forward and gripped the Phoenix King by the throat, hoisting him into the air like a rag doll.The temperature in the room seemed to plummet. Adam’s killing intent surged—raw, unfiltered, and suffocating.Vanguard Ghost choked under the pressure, but even with blood vessels bursting in his eyes, he managed a smug grin. “Come on… Supreme General,” he rasped, “you should know what kind of man I am by now... I always leave myself an escape route.”Adam’s eyes narrowed.The Phoenix King coughed out a breath, wheezing through the crushing grip around his throat. “Before you left... I already sent someone to Storm City.”Adam’s heart froze for a split second.“When you were crossing the sea,” Vanguard Ghost continued, his tone slithering, “my men captured your precious wife. I must admit—she's... even more beautiful in person.”Adam’s grip tightened, veins bulging along his forearm.Then—just
