"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.

    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
