Chapter 506
Elsie’s eyes widened. Very few people knew the details of her past engagement, yet this man had exposed it so easily. Her admiration for him deepened, laced now with awe. As expected of the Supreme General… he knows everything, and nothing escapes his grasp.She steadied herself and spoke softly, “Supreme General, it’s true. I did have a fiancé. But that was an arrangement forced on me by my mother. I only learned of it later. And I broke it off some time ago.”Adam swirled the wine in his cup, his gaze never leaving her. “Why did you break off the engagement?”Her expression hardened, disdain flashing across her beautiful face. “Because that man was already married. He was nothing more than a freeloader, living off his wife’s family wealth. I despise such men the most. Men without dignity, without backbone.”Adam’s lips curved into the faintest smile. A sharp gleam flickered in his eyes. If only you knew, Elsie. The man you’re calling a parasite is standing right in front of you…He

With a simple wave of Adam’s hand, Dante understood. He bowed, then briskly ordered everyone out of the pavilion. The guards filed away, the sound of their boots fading until the air grew still.Silence hung heavy, broken only by the soft trickle of water from the pond nearby. Adam leaned back in his chair, crossing one leg over the other, his sharp gaze fixed on Elsie.“Alright,” he said slowly, his tone calm but edged with curiosity. “There’s no one else here now. Let’s see what gift you’ve prepared for me.”Elsie’s lips curled into a faint smile. Her eyes gleamed with a mixture of nervousness and determination. Then, in a voice dripping with seduction, she said, “The finest gift I can offer is myself. My body… I am willing to give it to you, Supreme General. Please… favor me.”Before Adam could react, she reached behind her neck, fingers tugging at the zipper of her gown. The sound of it sliding down echoed faintly, provocative in the quiet night.The snow-white gown slipped off he

“Send her away. I don’t want to see her.”Adam’s voice was firm, almost dismissive. He didn’t even bother to lift his gaze from the cup of wine in his hand. Beauty alone meant nothing to him, and while Elsie Carter was undeniably beautiful, her character had always repulsed him.Dante hesitated before adding, “Supreme General… Ms. Carter is here to deliver you a gift. She was insistent you would be very pleased with it.”Adam’s fingers paused against the cup. A faint smile tugged at his lips. “Oh? Interesting… If she believes she can surprise me, then I want to see what confidence she’s built her visit on. Let her in.”Dante bowed and left quickly. Moments later, he returned, escorting Elsie into the pavilion.Adam’s eyes narrowed ever so slightly at the sight of her. It had been some time since he had last seen her, yet Elsie looked no less dazzling. She had dressed with precision, every detail meant to dazzle and command attention. A snow-white strapless gown clung to her slender fi
Chapter 503
When Winda learned that Adam was seeking century-old dragon roots and white herbs, her expression lit with sudden memory.“Supreme General,” she said, leaning forward slightly, “I know where you might be able to find a century-old white herb.”Adam’s eyes sharpened instantly. “Where?” His voice carried urgency—this wasn’t just idle interest. For him, these herbs were the difference between stagnation and resurgence.Winda explained, “The Zarholts’ residence. Ese’s father was gravely ill in the past. The family spared no expense in gathering rare herbs from across the continent. Among the collection was a century-old white herb. It was their most prized possession. But her father never consumed it… so it should still be in their possession.”Adam fell silent, his mind calculating. The Zarholts were not a simple family. Powerful, resourceful, but also prideful. They would not give up something so rare without exacting their pound of flesh. Still, if the herb was truly in their collectio

“There’s no need for that,” Adam said flatly, his voice carrying a quiet authority that silenced the room. “Let the Supreme Banquet proceed as planned.”The others exchanged uncertain glances. Winda frowned, her lips parting as if to protest, but Adam’s gaze cut through her hesitation.“The people of Supreme Nexus have been left in chaos,” Adam continued. “They think their leader is gone. Gunther and Nathaniel are already stirring up trouble, trying to seize what doesn’t belong to them. If I appear at the banquet, it will end the speculation once and for all. Morale will be restored. The traitors will lose their nerve. It’s the quickest way to stabilize everything.”It was a calculated gamble. The banquet wasn’t just a celebration—it was a political stage, where allies, rivals, and enemies alike would gather. One appearance from him could crush rumors of his death and solidify his position again.Of course, there were risks.His thoughts drifted to Dracula and Romeo. If word of his su

When Winda first opened her eyes that day, groggy and battered from the ordeal at Zaros Point, her thoughts immediately turned to Adam. She pieced together the fragments of memory—the chaos, the gunfire, the sudden silence. It wasn’t hard to guess that Adam had been the one who rescued both her and Tessa. That was just like him, throwing himself into danger for others without hesitation.But Winda was a rational woman. She understood the battlefield better than most. Staying behind would not have helped Adam—it would only have slowed him down. So, despite the ache in her chest, she returned to Storm City with Tessa, both of them battered but alive.The first few days were the hardest. Winda waited, expecting Adam to appear at any moment, walking in with that steady, unshakable presence. But each day passed in silence. No calls. No signals. No word. It gnawed at her, and a creeping dread began to settle in her heart. If Adam wasn’t back by now, something had gone very wrong.Unable to
