"what are you doing..." Adam's question was swallowed by Rachael's hungry lips as she devoured his mouth in a passionate kiss. He couldn't resist the temptation to surrender to her desire, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her close. As they kissed, Adam's hands roamed, caressing her curves and trying to undress her, but just as they were lost in the moment, the lights flickered on, illuminating the room and teasing them with reality.

Adam was startled and turned back to look who it was and saw his wife standing at the door in shock with the entire family and Drake. "What the F..." Adam's confusion was at the peak. If Racheal was standing at the door who the hell was he kissing? He slowly turned to look at the person he almost made out with a second ago.

The teary face of Rhea welcomed him. She unleashed a heavy slap as she started crying and ran towards her sister Racheal. "Racheal, he did it again. Adam tried to sleep with me forcefully."

"What?!" Adam knew he was going to be in a lot of trouble, there was no way he was going to prove he was innocent in this situation, they had tricked him.

"No no no, Racheal this isn't what it seems like" Adam stammered walking to his wife, holding her arms. "I didn't try to do anything with her, she was the one who tried to sleep with me. I..."

A heavy punch from Mr. Luther connected with his face, Adam fell on the floor the punch caused an injury on his lips.

"You moron, you did it again didn't you?" Robin clenched his fist, he was about to beat the hell out of Adam but Luther held him back.

"Despite how my entire family wanted you out of this family, I still respected your deal with my father and allowed you to remain Racheal's husband. Is this how you repay me? By trying to rape my other daughter? Your own sister in-law? What kind of a man would do such a thing?" Mr. Luther growled.

"I can't believe this worthless trash is worse than I thought." Drake said in disgust.

"Oh, Luther, thank God you've finally come to your senses!" Monica exclaimed, her voice dripping with relief and a hint of vindication.

"This...this...parasite needs to divorce our daughter and get out of our lives for good!" she spat, her words laced with venom and disgust. "I can barely look at him, he's so beneath us. Get him out, Luther, get him out!"

"After insulting me at the party you had the guts to still make an attempt to rape my niece?" His aunty in-law finally had the opportunity to get her revenge.

The whole family was abusing and cursing Adam, his attention wasn't on them, he was focused on Racheal.

"You aren't saying anything." He asked her, looking straight to her eyes.

"What'd you want her to say, you're a monster and you're getting divorced right away!" Rhea interrupted but Adam ignored her.

"I'm talking to you Rachael, say something. You know all these accusations are false."

Rachael's voice dripped with malice as she spoke with conviction. "Adam, there's no denying what we all saw. You were forcing yourself on Rhea, and I won't stand by and let you get away with it."

Her eyes flashed with a triumphant gleam, revealing the depth of her manipulation. "I think it's best if we just end this marriage. You're clearly not the man I thought you were." Rachael's smile was a thin, cruel line, her voice dripping with satisfaction as she watched Adam's reaction.

Adam's eyes widened in shock and disbelief as Rachael's words cut through him like a knife. He felt like he'd been punched in the gut, his mind reeling from the accusations. "What are you talking about, Rachael? You know that's not what happened!" he protested, his voice rising in defense.

"You heard her right, you too are getting divorced, you slum!" Drake cursed.

"I can't stand a man who will continue playing me, father I'm ready to get a divorce." Racheal added.

Adam gritted his teeth, his chest heaved with labored breaths, his nostrils flaring with each exhale.

"You're the one who's been manipulating everything from the start! You're the one who's been playing me, using me for your own twisted games!" Adam's anger flared, his face hot with indignation.

"How can you do this, Rachael? How can you stoop so low?"

"What the hell are you blabbering about?" Rachael acted innocent.

"You planned all of this, didn't you? I should have known. First you made me look like a clown at your birthday party and planned all this with your sister just to paint me bad in the presence of your father and make this divorce work!" Adam roared.

"Enough of your nonsense!" Monica's voice was venomous. "How dare you accuse my daughter! You're not worthy of her. She's a gem, and every decent man would be lucky to have her. You're just a scumbag, nobody!"

Adam's chuckle was cold "So, I'm garbage now? And she's too good for me? That's rich, coming from you. I recall when your family was desperate for someone, anyone, to marry Rachael. She was disabled, and no one wanted her."

Adam's anger simmered just below the surface. "Three years ago, Rachael was confined to a wheelchair.

And I'm the one who helped her walk again. I accepted this marriage because I needed the money for my mother's treatment. But after grandfather passed away, you reneged on your promises. You didn't give me a dime."

Adam's voice rose, his words laced with indignation. "But I didn't abandon Rachael. I took care of her, bathed her, cooked for her, and loved her with all my heart. I even donated my own organ to save her life and made her be able to use her feet again. And now, you have the audacity to say I don't deserve her?"

The room fell silent, the family's collective gaze fixed on Adam as he poured out his heart. The weight of their guilt was palpable. Monica's eyes darted away, her face flushed with shame. Rachael and The rest of the family seemed frozen, their faces etched with a mix of shock, anger, and regret.

"Enough of your nonsense!" Mr. Luther spoke, breaking the silence.

"You should be grateful that we still accepted you as our son-in-law and gave you shelter, even if my daughter wanted a divorce I still honored my father's deal with you and let you stay in our mansion, what more could we do for you?" Luther spoke aggressively.

"I'm done with this farce of a relationship, and I'm exhausted from the constant drama. If you're so eager to get rid of me and divorce, then be prepared to uphold your end of the bargain. I demand the $10 million, as agreed upon. But that's not all - I want my kidney back. You may have manipulated me into donating it, but I won't let you keep it as a twisted souvenir of our toxic marriage. Return my organ, and maybe then we can discuss the terms of our separation."

Rachael's eyes widened in horror, her face pale and frozen in shock. Fear and disbelief etched on her features, her lips parted in a silent gasp.

    Francis’ worry eased slightly at the masked man’s words. The reassurance gave him a fleeting sense of relief — fleeting, because even if Xander Sanders was dead, his shadow still lingered through his disciple.“Alright,” Francis muttered after a long pause, his voice low and cold. “But there’s another matter. Even if Xander is gone, his disciple remains. We can’t allow him to grow any stronger. We need to deal with him before he becomes a problem.”The masked man leaned back in his chair, arms crossed beneath his dark robes. His tone was dismissive. “He’s just a youngster. There’s nothing to fear. You’re overthinking this.”Francis frowned, his eyes flashing. “Don’t underestimate him,” he said sharply. “You didn’t see what I saw. He easily defeated my son, Maverick, without breaking a sweat. His talent is terrifying. In ten years—or perhaps even sooner—he could reach the Divine Realm.”That caught the masked man’s attention. His body stiffened ever so slightly, the only sign that Fran

    Adam’s eyes darkened with sorrow at the mention of Xander Sanders, the man who had been more than just a mentor to him—he had been family. The faint ache that flickered across Adam’s face didn’t go unnoticed by Leah, though she kept silent, sensing the weight behind that look.“Yes,” Bruce declared, his deep voice echoing across the courtyard like a rolling storm. “He is my future son-in-law. And anyone who dares to harm him—” his gaze swept over the crowd like a blade “—will answer to me personally!”A suffocating pressure rippled outward, forcing several onlookers to lower their heads instinctively. Even Francis, a divine grandmaster, felt the invisible force pressing against his chest. Bruce Sanders in full authority was not someone anyone dared to provoke.Francis’s eyes narrowed, his pride smarting, but he didn’t dare challenge Bruce head-on. Instead, he turned to Adam, his tone cold. “Where is your mentor now?”Adam’s expression didn’t waver, though his heart tightened. “He’s li

    Francis’s expression darkened as he lifted his arm, power coiling in his palm like a living storm. A low hum filled the air, sharp enough to make the skin on everyone’s arms prickle. The energy sphere swelled and pulsed with dangerous light—first the size of a fist, then a melon, then a miniature sun. The surrounding air warped and crackled, sending waves of pressure rippling through the courtyard.Gasps and fearful murmurs broke out among the spectators. Men staggered backward, clutching at their chests as the pressure intensified. The ground quivered; dust rose in trembling spirals.Adam stood firm. His fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white. Though the veins on his arms bulged and sweat traced cold paths down his temples, he did not flinch. He had no illusions about the outcome—Francis was a divine grandmaster, and Adam’s odds were next to zero—but retreat wasn’t in his blood.At his side, Dante and Ese mirrored his resolve. They exchanged a quick glance—wordless, grim

    Adam’s jaw tightened until the line of it looked like a blade. Francis was no ordinary threat — a divine grandmaster, his presence folded around him like armor. On a field of battle, Francis moved mountains. Adam’s chances were paper-thin; if Francis chose to end him here, there would be nothing left to bargain with.The air in the courtyard felt suddenly thinner, as if the world was holding its breath. Torches guttered, throwing long, jaundiced shadows across cracked stone. Men who had been laughing an hour ago went quiet, their faces threaded with anticipation and fear. Even the dogs at the edge of the compound had pressed their noses to the ground, sensitive to the change.Francis didn’t look like a man about to ask for mercy. He filled the space with a kind of slow, unhurried thunder. “How dare you injure my son on our territory? You’ve got some guts!” His voice rolled over the crowd, a command dressed in contempt. It vibrated through Adam’s ribs and lodged like a warning.Adam’s

    The Four Great Immortal Sects were not just powerful—they were the foundation upon which the entire cultivation world stood. Every major family, sect, or hidden clan, no matter how proud, paled before them. Their names carried weight that could silence an entire battlefield.They were—Eastsea Cosmic Island, the ruler of the Eastern seas.Infernal Gate of Berkath, the fiery forge of the North.West of Everlight, the domain of eternal brilliance.Southwind Divine, the sacred storm of the South.Each sect was an empire in its own right. But among them, Eastsea Cosmic Island stood out as the most politically intricate. It was home to four of the continent’s most powerful families—the Sanders, Armand, York, and Lennon clans.Even the Sanders family, ranked only third among the four, wielded terrifying influence. They boasted dozens of grandmasters among their younger generation alone. Their elders were even more fearsome; rumor had it that within their ranks, multiple divine grandmasters

    Adam’s sneer cut through the chaos like a blade. “Too slow,” he murmured.In the same instant, his arm shot up. His hand closed around Maverick’s ankle mid-kick with unholy precision. Before anyone could even gasp, Adam pivoted backward, using Maverick’s momentum against him.Then—boom!He slammed Maverick into the ground with bone-shattering force.The earth cracked. Shockwaves rippled outward, blowing dust and shards of tile into the air. The ground beneath Maverick collapsed into a crater three inches deep, spiderweb cracks spreading like veins of destruction.The crowd stumbled back as the tremors reached their feet.Even for a late-stage grandmaster, the force was monstrous. Any normal man would’ve died instantly, crushed into paste. Maverick’s reinforced body held together—but the pain was savage. Blood rushed up his throat; his ribs screamed under the impact.“Argh!” he bellowed, veins bulging across his temples.For a moment, silence hung in the air. Then Maverick snapped back
