Chapter 256
Adam stood in the dimly lit chamber, surrounded by countless human experiments suspended on metal tables. His knuckles tightened, and a deep rage rose within him.Suddenly, from a hidden side room, a man in a white lab coat walked in, casually wiping his bloody gloves on a piece of cloth. His piercing green eyes fell directly on Adam.The doctor clicked his tongue. “Who are you… and what are you doing here?”Adam remained silent for a moment, letting the silence weigh heavy in the air. His jaw tightened. “The real question is… what the hell are you doing to these people?”The doctor sighed and straightened his glasses. “If you know what’s best for you… you should leave immediately. All else… will not be leaving here alive.”Adam’s stare remained icy. “I’m not going anywhere… until you answer me.”The doctor pressed a small button on his wristband. “Too late. You chose this path.”Suddenly, hidden doors opened all around the chamber. Seven soldiers in black tactical gear marched in, th

The dimly lit entrance fell silent except for the rhythmic drip of water somewhere in the distance. Adam kept walking forward, unfazed by the oppressive silence and the piercing gaze of the guard who stood in his path.“Hey… place is closed. Come back tomorrow.” The man tried to make his voice firm, but it trembled just a little under Adam’s piercing stare.Adam remained silent, letting his knuckles crack quietly as his hands tightened into fists. The man raised his voice, suspicion battling confusion. “Hey! Did you hear me, friend?”For a moment, the only answer was the rustling of Adam’s clothes as he walked forward a step.The man pressed on, trying to assert himself. “I said we’re closed. Whatever you’re looking for… it’s not here.”Adam sighed softly and nodded. “See… you shouldn’t have asked me that.”The guard faltered. “E-8-Day delivery?”Adam’s face remained a mask of calm. “Who told you…?”“It doesn’t matter who.” His knuckles tightened, a spark of danger glimmered in his ey
Chapter 254
Adam sat quietly in his dimly lit room, the silence heavy like a blanket over his shoulders. He peeled off his shirt, revealing a scar-laced chest—remnants of battles long buried in memory. A dull ache pulsed beneath his ribs.He crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and exhaled slowly.A faint glow shimmered around him—soft and golden, like ripples in still water. His breathing steadied. Energy coiled and flowed within him, moving through meridians like warm rivers of power. But just as the peace settled, a sharp jolt cut through his side."Still there," he muttered, grimacing. His hand pressed against his ribs.His thoughts wandered back—years ago, after the war on the western border. The final siege. The blood-soaked cliffs. That last fight had left him with a wound no healer could fix. Not fully.He needed the Three Amulets.He already had one—the cursed Idol Amulet—safely hidden, which he kept with Tessa.Two remained.Without them, he could only suppress the pain… not erase it.He

“Mr. Albert!” Hope called out, her voice sharp with desperation. But Albert didn’t even glance back. He was already halfway down the corridor, his footsteps echoing as he vanished around the corner like a man possessed. Hope stood frozen for a second, then snapped. “That coward!” she hissed, turning on her heels. “He just left us behind like garbage!” Across the room, Adam stood casually, arms folded, a faint smirk dancing on his lips as if the chaos around him were nothing more than entertainment. Hope’s eyes locked onto him. “You!” she barked, pointing a trembling, furious finger. “You’re the one who brought this cursed luck into this house!” Adam raised a brow but said nothing. “We were this close—this close—to sealing the deal with Dragon Group. Everything was aligning perfectly. Then you showed up, like a fly in the ointment!” “Mom…” Ava stepped forward, grabbing her arm gently, trying to keep her grounded. “Calm down—please.” “No! I won’t calm down, Ava!” Hope

Albert’s face was drenched in sweat now. His hands trembled as he reached out and grabbed Adam’s arm desperately.“Please, Mike… please…” he gasped, his voice hoarse and broken. “You have to help me—I was wrong, I was blind. I didn’t know who you were… Please, just talk to Secretary Chen—fix this, I’ll do anything, just help me…”He dropped to his knees again, this time clutching Adam’s shoes like a man drowning in quicksand.“Please, Mike… I’ll apologize… I’ll pay, I’ll kneel, I’ll do whatever you want—just don’t let everything go down like this. I spent years, Mike. Years!”Across the room, Hope staggered back like the words had slapped her. Her chest rose and fell rapidly, her lips parting in disbelief.“No… no, this can’t be happening…” she whispered, her hand flying to her chest. “They’ve… they’ve cut ties with Albert? But if Dragon Group has pulled out from his company, then…”She swayed.“Then our deal is doomed too!”She nearly collapsed, her legs giving way, but Ava darted fo
Chapter 251
Albert puffed out his chest like a rooster high on his own ego, strutting in a lazy circle as if the polished tiles were his personal red carpet. His gold watch glinted under the chandelier light, but it was the buzzing phone in his hand that held the spotlight.He raised it high, waving it like a golden trophy. “Now this,” he said, lips curling into a cocky grin, “this is what you call a real phone call.”He stopped and turned deliberately toward Adam, holding the screen out like he was delivering a punchline. “Secretary Chen. From Dragon Group HQ. Something a lowly driver like you would never even dream of—not in this life, not in the next ten.”Adam didn’t even glance at the screen. He just slipped his own phone back into his pocket, completely unfazed.Hope, meanwhile, gasped like a star-struck teenager. “Secretary Chen? The Secretary Chen?! Oh my god—Albert, is it about the investment? Is it finally happening?” Her hands were clasped together like she was praying to the business
