But the man showed no fear. Instead, he sneered, taking his time as he stepped forward. Every click of his expensive leather shoes echoed in the silent hall. He reached the center, turned around slowly, and faced the entire crowd like a king looking down on his subjects.

“First, let me introduce myself.” His voice was calm, dripping with arrogance. “My name is Julian Marlowe… from the Marlowe family of Ray City.”

The moment the name left his lips, it was like a thunderclap.

“The Marlowe family?!” someone gasped.

“The top family of Coastal Flair!”

Murmurs erupted, spreading like wildfire.

Everyone knew the weight of that name. In Coastal Flair, ten great families had stood for generations, their roots stretching into politics, the military, and global business. But among those titans, the Marlowes reigned at the very peak. Their wealth rivaled that of entire nations. Their influence stretched beyond borders. And unlike most clans, they did not merely rely on riches or status—within the

    Adam sneered, his voice laced with contempt. “You’d better watch what you’re saying. The ceremony must’ve been canceled for a reason far beyond me. Instead of pointing fingers at me like cowards, maybe you should reflect on your own failures.”Eleanor’s eyes blazed. Shocked on how arrogant Adam has become. She stepped forward, jabbing a trembling finger at him. “Failures? Don’t you dare twist this! It’s because of you! You stirred up trouble and angered the Supreme General, and now the signing ceremony is ruined! All of this is your fault, Adam. You will take responsibility! I swear you won't get away with this!”Brielle and Richard moved in beside her, their glares sharp as daggers. The hostility in the room swelled, suffocating."Yes, he has to pay for what he did!"Adam scoffed, pushing his chair back. “Whatever.” He rose to his feet, towering with an ease that made their outrage look pitiful. “I don’t owe you anything.” He turned to leave, but Eleanor lunged, blocking his path.“Y

    “Why? Why are we canceling the ceremony?” Eleanor shot to her feet, her voice trembling with both anger and desperation.Moments ago, she had been on the brink of despair when Adam was accused of impersonating the Supreme General. Her mind had raced with visions of their ruin, of reputations destroyed and power stripped away. But when Julian declared Adam a fraud, a tiny flicker of hope had sparked in her chest.That flicker had been mercilessly extinguished by Nyra’s declaration.The sudden highs and lows crushed her spirit. Her heart pounded violently, her breath coming shallow, as if she were standing on a collapsing cliff with nowhere to run.“There is no reason. Are you going to question the Supreme General’s decision?” Nyra’s cold voice cut through the silence like a blade. Her eyes locked onto Eleanor, sharp and merciless.The pressure was suffocating. Eleanor’s body stiffened, her courage evaporating in an instant. She lowered her head quickly, voice cracking. “I… I wouldn’t d

    Julian’s face darkened. He raised his hand and barked, “This man is impersonating the Supreme General! Such insolence cannot be tolerated. Arrest him at once and hand him over to the true Supreme General for judgment. Take him!” At his order, four bodyguards stepped forward in unison, their polished shoes echoing against the marble floor. Their eyes were sharp, movements precise, each one exuding killing intent. Muscles tightened, and for a moment, the hall seemed to shrink under the pressure of their aura. Just as the four prepared to strike— “Lord Nyra is here!” The sharp cry from the doorway froze the room. All heads turned at once. The tension broke like glass as the grand doors slowly opened. A group of women strode in with graceful precision, their steps steady and authoritative. At their head was a striking figure. She wore a fitted leather top with matching trousers, her long hair cascading down her back like a waterfall of night. She moved with an effortless elegance,

    In terms of either influence or physical prowess, the Marlowe family couldn’t compare to the Supreme Pavilion or the Bulgart Industry.The Marlowes might dominate among the ten prestigious families, enjoying overwhelming advantage over their peers, but if they dared to clash with the Supreme General, they would be wiped out without hesitation. Everyone present knew it.Julian smirked coldly, clearly unfazed. “You’re right. The Supreme General reigns above all. Naturally, even the Marlowe family would never dare to offend him.”Then his tone shifted, sharp and mocking. “But the problem is… this so-called Supreme General in front of us isn’t real.”The room froze. His words cut through the air like a blade.Julian lifted his hand and pointed directly at Adam, his eyes gleaming with contempt. “If he truly were the Supreme General, I would kneel and pay my respects right now. But unfortunately, this man is a fraud.”Murmurs spread through the hall like wildfire. A moment ago, nobody would

    “O Supreme General, Tessa divorced you because Mr. Boros—Christian—forced her. She didn’t intend to do that. Tessa, why are you just standing there? Say something!” Eleanor’s face twisted with desperation as she frantically signaled Tessa, her voice almost trembling.Tessa opened her mouth, but before she could utter a word, Adam raised his hand. His cold eyes silenced her instantly.“You claim you were forced?” Adam’s voice cut through the air like a blade. “You signed away your marriage for the ten-billion-dollar project. Don’t insult me by pretending it wasn’t your choice. Do you think I’m a fool?”Tessa’s lips trembled. She wanted to defend herself, but the truth was undeniable. The project had weighed heavily in her decision, even if she hadn’t meant to abandon Adam completely. She lowered her gaze, unable to speak.But Eleanor refused to give up. She stepped forward, wringing her hands, her voice dripping with false humility. “O Supreme General, please believe us. Tessa was corn
