Chapter 554
Worried that Lord Venom and Lord Nyra might slip away, Gunther and Nathaniel rushed out of headquarters and sped toward the café with a small entourage.Minutes later, a sleek black car pulled up by the curb outside the corporation. The door opened, and a middle-aged man stepped out, his aura cold and domineering. To the guards and staff, it was unmistakably Celestial Master Thorne.But in truth, Gunther had already left. The man walking up the steps was none other than Adam, perfectly disguised through his mastery of the Art of Disguise.Adam adjusted his cuffs, his posture and stride mimicking Gunther’s arrogance to the last detail. The disguise wasn’t merely about his face. It was in the way he walked, the way his eyes swept over people with contempt, the commanding air that dared anyone to question him.As expected, the staff froze when they saw him. Secretaries, guards, and executives all bowed their heads respectfully. “Celestial Master Thorne,” they greeted, voices tinged with

Aurora added calmly, "I think there's one more matter we can’t ignore before we leave."Her tone made everyone stop."What is it?" Lord Hades asked, leaning forward with a sharp look.Aurora’s eyes flicked toward Adam. "They have Tessa. Are you all planning to just leave her in Gunther’s hands?"The room fell silent. Everyone’s gaze naturally shifted to Adam. Whatever grudges existed, everyone knew Tessa was once his wife. The decision could only come from him.Adam’s face was unreadable, but his voice carried steel. "Of course, we’re rescuing her. But not recklessly. We need a plan that won’t fail."He didn’t need Aurora’s reminder. He hadn’t forgotten Tessa for even a second. She was his wife once, and more importantly, her purity was tied directly to the completion of his cultivation technique. Gunther touching her was something he couldn’t allow—not as a man, and not as a cultivator."Mr. Manchester," Stacey spoke up, watching him closely. "Do you already have something in mind?"

Nathaniel leaned forward, his eyes narrowing with calculation. "I have an idea, but it requires your intervention."Gunther raised a brow, his tone sharp. "Speak. What’s the plan?"A sly smile crept across Nathaniel’s face. "With the Supreme General dead, the entire foundation of Supreme Nexus is shaking. It’s only a matter of time before the reins slip into your hands. You should summon the Gods of War and the wealthiest families under your banner. Call it a gathering of allegiance. That way, you’ll see who dares to stand with you and who hides in the shadows. You’ll smoke out the traitors before they even think of raising their heads."Gunther’s lips curved into a cruel grin. "Killing two birds with one stone. I like it." He straightened, his presence filling the chamber like a storm. "Very well, Nathaniel. I’ll host this gathering myself. If they bend the knee, they’ll live. If they hesitate, they’ll be destroyed."Then his gaze shifted, cold and predatory, toward Tessa. "Pretty la
Chapter 551
Gunther’s mind seethed as memories of his humiliation replayed. His so-called “collaborations” with Dracula and Romeo were nothing but lessons in frustration. He had risked his men, spent sleepless nights executing their plans, and still walked away empty-handed.The Cursed Idol Pendant had ended up in Dracula’s hands. The two amulets—objects of unimaginable power—had been claimed by Romeo and his lackeys. Gunther hadn’t even been allowed to touch them, much less participate in the deeper search that followed.Why?Because his cultivation base was lower than theirs. That was the only reason. If he had stood shoulder to shoulder with them in power, they would never have dared to treat him like a disposable pawn.His fists clenched until his knuckles cracked. That shame burned into his chest like a brand, and in that moment, Gunther swore silently to himself: he would break into the Divine Realm no matter the cost. Whatever it took, whatever blood he had to spill, whatever price he had

Gunther’s fingers trembled slightly as he held the invitation, his eyes glinting with unrestrained excitement. For a man as ruthless as him, very few things in this world could stir his blood—but the name “Cosmic Island” was enough to make his heart race.Cosmic Island was no ordinary power. Its significance was monumental. To the outside world, it was a legend wrapped in mystery, a hidden clan whose roots stretched back further than recorded history. The people who resided there were not mortals in the common sense of the word—they were like terrestrial immortals, each possessing unfathomable supernatural abilities.Even top-tier forces like the Supreme Nexus, the Deadskull Organization, and the Crossblood Syndicate—names that struck fear across Dragotha—were nothing but shadows when compared to the might of Cosmic Island. Its influence surpassed them all, its power vast and unreachable.Yet Cosmic Island remained secluded, detached from the chaos of the outside world. Few had ever s

Hearing Gunther’s words, Tessa felt as though a bolt of lightning had torn through her chest. Her legs buckled, and she nearly collapsed to the floor. The world around her spun, her vision blurring as the weight of the revelation crashed down.Adam…The man she had treated as useless. The man she had mocked, belittled, and cast aside without mercy. He had saved her countless times, silently bearing every humiliation. And in the end, he had died because of her.Her heart clenched so painfully that she could barely breathe. Regret, sharp as knives, cut into her. If only she had known the truth earlier. If only she had stood by him. If only she hadn’t divorced him so heartlessly. Tears streamed down her face, and for a fleeting moment, she wished she could trade her life for his.Gunther watched her despair with cruel satisfaction, his sneer widening.“I know what’s going through your mind. You want to avenge him, don’t you? To bury that knife in my chest? But you’re too weak, Tessa. Pat
