“Father would never allow me to divorce that bastard, in the name of honoring grandfather's deal with Adam. I wish I could but I can't”

“Yes you can Racheal” Rhea said. “And I'm going to help you with it”

“But how?” Racheal asked.

“I have a plan that will actually work” a smirk escaped her lips.

***

Racheal and Rhea then walked out of the room and went back to the sitting room where Adam and the rest of the family members were.

Everyone was in suspense on what Racheal was about to say.

“I'll forgive you Adam only on one condition” Racheal started making Adam more curious.

“What condition Racheal?” His eyes were begging for answers.

“Today's my birthday and the decorations will soon start, and I'll want you to serve as one of the waiters at the party tonight” she replied with a smirk on her face.

“What?” Adam's jaw dropped.

Monica and her sister Theresa smiled in satisfaction of Rachael's request. This will be a perfect punishment for this loser.

“How can I serve as a waiter Racheal? For goodness sake I'm your husband” Adam was dumbfounded.

“You should be grateful I asked for something this little, you didn't contribute any penny to this birthday celebration, you're just a liability to this family. Take this as part of your contribution to the family. And if you really want me to remain your wife you'll do this for me” Racheal fired at him.

Adam didn't know what to do, he had faced many humiliations in the family but this time he thought they were going overboard, this is just too much for anyone. How can a husband be a waiter at his wife's birthday party?

Racheal took a few steps towards Adam. She then whispered into his ears. “If you do this you'll have all of me tonight” she said seductively and kissed him on the cheek.

Adam's body almost melted, he got goosebumps instantly. Why was she suddenly nice? For three years being in the Odia family he had never had an intimacy with his wife. First it was because of her condition but after she recovered she saw him as an inferior person to her and would never let him touch her, not to mention opening her leg for him.

Racheal looked at his lips and then stared at him with the triangle method and bit her lips. She was so damn beautiful that Adam didn't want to think if this was just a black mailing or honesty. He was ready to risk it.

“So do we have a deal?” Racheal asked.

Adam nodded positively. The rest of the family members were puzzled, what was Racheal doing? Meanwhile Rhea smiled devilishly, she knew all the plans and sooner today Adam's going to be kicked out of their lives.

Few hours past 8pm the hall had been decorated and many honorable guests had arrived. Somewhere Rachael's college friends and other family friends and business partners.

Adam was in his room, he was dressed as a waiter, he looked at himself in the mirror, his face was rough due to unshaved bears but overall he was still looking handsome with a height of 6 '4.

He sighed, “come on Adam, you're doing this for Racheal” he encouraged himself and forced a smile before walking outside.

The party had fully begun and Adam along with the other waiters served across the tables.

Adam sighted Mr Luther amongst the guests. “Father inlaw had arrived, I should go say hi” he said to himself but then noticed he was surrounded with many important guests and Adam wasn't presentable enough to approach him.

‘I guess I'll wait till the party is over’

Suddenly he saw his beloved wife Rachael walking down the stairs in a beautiful red gown and beside her was her sister Rhea putting on a black gown.

The whole attention of the congregation was drawn by her elegant beauty.

Adam couldn't help his excitement; he still couldn't believe he was finally going to enjoy his wife tonight after the party. He was about to go meet her before a guest called him.

“Hey waiter, come over here” a lady at the table

Adam frowned, walking towards the lady.

"Can you go get me some whiskey?" She requested.

Adam looked at his wife and then at the woman, almost confused on what to do, but then realized Rachael expected him to serve her guests so he nodded at the lady.

"I'll get it ma'am." Adam immediately attended to her request.

Then he heard his name from another table. It was no other than Theresa. Adam scoffed.

"Come over here Adam, what are you doing standing over there?" She said, trying to prove to her friends that she was a boss.

Adam walked reluctantly to her. "Do you need anything Theresa?" He asked.

Theresa's eyes widened in disbelief and all her friends stared at her.

"Did you just call me by my name?" She asked.

Adam rolled his eyes. "Isn't that your name?"

"Did your servant just talk to you that way?" Her friend chimed in.

"Deal with him Theresa he should now his to talk to his employer." Another said.

"Apologies now you good for nothing and lazy man" she abused

Adam only chuckled. "Calling me lazy when you're actually the one who's feeding on your sister's wealth without making an attempt to get a job yourself.”

All her friends gasped, putting their hands on their mouths. Theresa scratched her hair and tried to avoid eye contact, she knew Adam was saying the truth.

'Who gave this moron the audacity to talk back at me, I'll deal with him after this party' Theresa swore in her mind.

Adam smiled in satisfaction that he had given her a taste of her own medicine and he knew she wouldn't be able to talk back to him because of her friends.

Suddenly there was an uproar of cheers at the hall. Everyone turned trying to peek from the crowd.

The murmurs filled the room. "Drake Penthouse is here."

"Oh my God, it's really Drake."

"The heir of the Penthouse."

Adam didn't know who the person was, but due to the talks from the people he could tell he was someone with a very high status.

He came with several guards, the guards soon made way by clearing the crowd and Drake's face was revealed.

He was an average man, with a handsome profile and an expensive suit, his wrist watch and shoe spells luxury.

Suddenly Racheal saw him and ran to him hugging him passionately.

"What? How did Racheal know him?" Adam thought, but washed the thought from his head when he realized he could just be an old friend of hers.

Drake hugged her back and his hands behind her waist as he then pressed her ass pecking her on her cheek.

Adam boiled in anger, he was tempted to interrupt them but held himself. This was an important occasion for his wife, he didn't want to ruin it for her.

    The killing intent rolling off Lucian was not subtle. It pressed outward like a physical force, dropping the temperature of the air around them by degrees. The people nearby felt it hit them in the chest — that particular cold that had nothing to do with weather, the kind that reached past the body and touched something more primal. Several stepped back without consciously deciding to.Adam’s expression settled into something harder and more attentive. He had assessed Lucian before, back when the gap between them meant he had reason to be careful. That gap no longer existed. Lucian was formidable — genuinely so, operating at a level that put him within reach of Cosmic Island’s four family heads, well beyond what most divine grandmasters could claim. He was not someone to dismiss.He was also not someone Adam feared anymore.“If you want to try, go ahead,” Adam said, holding Lucian’s gaze without shifting. No posturing in it, no performance. Just a statement of fact from someone who ha

    The day before his departure, a letter arrived.Adam turned it over once, then broke the seal. Inside was a wedding invitation, printed on heavy paper with the formal precision of something that had been designed to be taken seriously.Groom: Luke Lennon. Bride: Leah Sanders.He read it twice.Leah Sanders — the eldest daughter of the Sanders family of Cosmic Island, his fiancée by arrangement, a woman who had made no secret of her feelings toward him — was marrying Luke Lennon. Son of the Lennon family, one of Cosmic Island’s four most powerful houses.The shock lasted only a moment before his mind moved past it and into the question underneath. Leah was not a woman who changed her mind quietly or without cause. She had pursued this engagement with a directness that left little room for ambiguity. For her to be standing at an altar with someone else two days from now meant something had happened on Cosmic Island — something significant enough to override everything that had come befo

    After refining the Blood Spirit Pills, Adam did not stop.He sealed himself inside the cultivation chamber again and began preparing a second furnace.This time, the ingredients were far rarer.The medicinal aroma alone was heavier, richer, carrying a faint purple mist that lingered above the furnace like smoke. Spiritual energy gathered unnaturally around the room, drawn toward the heat as if alive.Hours passed.The flames beneath the furnace shifted from crimson to deep violet.Finally, the lid trembled.A pulse of energy spread through the chamber.Adam opened the furnace slowly.Inside rested several pills, each glowing with a faint purple sheen.Purple Miracle Pills.Far stronger than Blood Spirit Pills.If Blood Spirit Pills accelerated cultivation, Purple Miracle Pills forcefully condensed internal energy and strengthened the meridians at the same time. Their effects were extraordinary.One pill alone equaled two to three months of relentless cultivation.Even for someone at A

    Several minutes passed before Tessa finally stirred.Her eyelashes trembled. A weak cough escaped her lips as she slowly opened her eyes.The room around her felt blurred at first.Then she saw Adam sitting beside her.Sweat covered his forehead. His breathing was heavier than usual, and his expression carried a rare trace of exhaustion.Tessa pushed herself up slightly, still disoriented.“What happened?” she asked, her voice hoarse.Adam exhaled slowly.“You were poisoned,” he said. “I forced the toxin out of your body.”Tessa blinked, trying to piece together her memory.Fragments returned. The strange dizziness. The weakness spreading through her limbs. The darkness that followed.Her hand instinctively moved to the necklace resting against her chest.Her fingers wrapped tightly around the pendant.She used to wear the Seraphic Tear Pendant, something she had cherished deeply. But Adam had removed it days earlier.Too noticeable. And it draws danger to her.In its place, he had gi

    Adam hesitated.Not from unwillingness — that had never been the problem. But he had carefully preserved her purity for a reason. His second cultivation breakthrough required it, a condition built into the method itself that couldn’t be worked around. Abandoning that now meant setting back a timeline he had already calculated down to the year.But the alternative was watching her die in front of him.Then something surfaced through the noise of the moment — a memory, sharp and sudden.“The phoenix blood herb.”He said it aloud without meaning to, pulling the small case from his side and opening it. The herb lay within, its faint luminescence unchanged, radiating the dense, layered energy it had taken years to accumulate. He had nearly handed it to a masked stranger at a lakeside. Now it might save Tessa’s life.The phoenix blood herb was among the rarest materials in existence for a reason. Its energy didn’t simply enhance cultivation — it cleansed. It moved through the body like a re

    Lord Hades realized his mistake the moment he saw Adam’s expression. He should have told Sasha to send word earlier. He should have had a contingency that didn’t depend on timing he couldn’t control.There was no time for regret. He pulled the military knife from his belt in one motion and drove it hard into Adam’s abdomen.“Watch out!” Tessa’s warning came half a second too late.The blade connected — and rang out with a sharp metallic clang, like steel striking stone. No blood. No puncture. Adam didn’t even step back.The grin forming on Lord Hades’ face died before it finished.His eyes dropped to the knife, then rose slowly to Adam’s face. What looked back at him wasn’t anger. It was something quieter, and far worse.Adam exhaled slowly. Then he released his spiritual energy — not as a strike, not as a show of force, but as something deliberate and final, a single concentrated pulse directed inward at the man standing before him.Lord Hades’ eyes went wide. His legs gave out benea
