Adam shook his head and said, "That won't do. That old man George is probably hoping we'll go after him. That way we can repay the favor we did before. Hmph, we won't let him spit it out so easily after he's taken what the Stark family has given us. As for Elias, you don't need to worry about him. Just keep an eye on him. I'll handle that guy."

Tony nodded. He said, "I understand. In that case, let's do it your way. By the way, there's a party tonight. Do you want to come? That crazy girl Nicky Hilton has been looking for you. If you don't go and see what she might do, who knows what she'll do?"

Adam was slightly taken aback and asked, "Nikki? What happened to her? We don't seem to know each other that well."

Tony shrugged and said, "Who knows what's going on? But you haven't been to any of these parties lately, and those guys have been complaining about it. After all, these are the next generation of heirs to those families or businesses. I think you should come with me."

Adam thought for a moment and said, "Okay, this damn social engagement. By the way, can I bring a female companion?"

Tony gave him a look that said, "Fine, you can bring your girlfriend to the party today, but are you sure you really want to bring Christine along?"

Adam replied matter-of-factly, “Of course we’ll take Christine with us. Hehe, don’t worry, with me here, those guys won’t dare to disrespect Christine. Besides, Christine’s aura has changed a lot. If Christine doesn’t tone down her aura, those guys will only think she’s very noble and feel very inferior when they see her. Nothing else will happen.”

Tony asked in confusion, "Huh, I've seen Christine quite a few times after her Divine Vein awakened, so why doesn't it affect me?"

Adam pointed to the pendant he had given Tony earlier and said, "The thing around your neck isn't just a simple ornament; it comes from Mount Orinis. It's because of this that you were able to ignore Christine's divine power. As for its other abilities, you can discover them for yourself."

Tony immediately became interested and asked, "Huh? This is the legendary artifact?"

Adam smiled and said, "If you're talking about an artifact made by God, then this must be it. But don't rush to study this pendant. After all, some of the crafting methods on the mystical side are different from those on our scientific side. A slight mistake could cause an explosion."

This wasn't Adam trying to scare Tony, but rather because Adam had previously tried to use his knowledge to analyze the energy laws within the artifact, and the resulting explosion nearly injured him despite his iron body. Therefore, he had to warn Tony beforehand not to conduct any experiments on his own.

In fact, Adam had no idea that he had touched some mystical laws and energies during his previous experiment, which caused a backlash from the laws that almost injured him. However, with Tony's level of knowledge, he was not able to access deeper levels of laws and such. Adam was unaware of this, which is why he warned Tony with a serious expression.

Tony had been telling himself to study the pendant Adam had given him ever since he heard it was a divine artifact. So, despite Adam's serious warning, he still felt a little hopeful and nodded, saying, "Ah, I understand. Don't worry, I won't study it casually." But in his heart, he was thinking about when he could study the artifact himself, since such opportunities were rare.

Adam looked at Tony and said, "Don't disbelieve me. I once studied an artifact that Helios gave me, and for some reason, it suddenly exploded and almost hurt me. You should know that with my physical strength, nothing can hurt me."

Seeing Adam's lingering fear, Tony finally realized the seriousness of the situation. He eliminated any remaining hope and nodded earnestly, saying, "I understand. Don't worry, I won't do anything reckless."

Adam nodded and said, "Yes, that's good."

The two then spent the morning discussing the Stark Industries Annual Exhibition. Time flew by without them realizing it, and if Pepper Potts hadn't reminded them, Adam and Tony probably wouldn't have known it was already noon. They went out for a casual meal, and then Tony said he had something to show Adam, so Adam and Tony went back to Tony's villa together.

Back at the villa, Adam found that nothing had changed. Although he was curious about what Tony meant by the surprise, he pretended not to care and chatted casually with Tony.

Tony chuckled to himself after reading it and said, "Dude, can you guess what my surprise is?"

Adam shrugged and said, "How would I know? Using superpowers in my own home isn't my style."

Tony said, rather bored, "Okay, okay, Jarvis, say hello to my brother."

Adam was taken aback for a moment, then seemed to realize something and said, "You created a smart home assistant yourself?"

Just then, a very gentle middle-aged man's voice came out: "Good afternoon, Mr. Adam. You guessed right, Mr. Tony did indeed complete my AI system all by himself. Of course, my abilities are not as good as Miss Athena's."

Ps:

I'll only write one chapter today because my house is under renovation and I really can't write anything. I'll write it at the office tomorrow!

Chapter 160 Party Turmoil 1

Upon hearing Jarvis's words, the omnipresent Athena appeared in Tony's villa, proudly declaring, "Hmph, at least you know your place! You're centuries too young to compete with me."

Adam said, "Alright, Athena, stop being naughty. I think there are things you can learn from Jarvis."

Athena pouted and said, "What? You want me to learn from him? No way! Humph, I'm a beautiful girl!"

Tony's lips twitched, and he said, "My Jarvis is still no match for Athena, brother. Don't be angry." But in his heart, he thought, "It would be strange if I actually created a little witch."

Jarvis, who also possessed basic logical abilities, echoed Tony's words, saying, "That's right, I am indeed no match for Miss Athena. I will try to learn from Miss Athena."

Adam looked at Athena, who was like a proud swan, and shook his head, saying, "Sigh, I really spoiled Athena."

Tony rolled his eyes at the sight, thinking to himself, "You're only just realizing that? Other people's AI systems are service-oriented, but yours is just a little witch, a little princess, that we have to serve so carefully."

However, Tony dared not voice his true thoughts, after all, Athena's reputation as the Little Witch was well-deserved. So he laughed and said, "Haha, bro, I think Athena is great right now, very cute!" After saying that, he glanced at Athena and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her "you know what's good for you" expression.

What? You're asking why someone as powerful as Tony Stark would be afraid of Athena?

Sigh, Tony's face is full of tears when he talks about this. You see, Tony's a womanizer; he practically never sleeps alone. Therefore, he has a lot of gossip, but it's just gossip, because the reporters can't get any more juicy photos. After all, Tony isn't the kind of person who's easily caught red-handed. Unfortunately, Tony's wisdom is useless in front of Athena. So every time Tony says something bad about Athena, he receives photos from her, photos so explicit they could make a seven-foot-tall man bleed to death.

Okay, I think you can probably guess what happened next even if I don't tell you. That's why Tony is so afraid of Athena. Of course, this fear isn't real; it's just a joke between friends.

Adam certainly saw the interaction between Athena and Tony, but he didn't say anything. Therefore, the higher Athena's intelligence level was, the happier he was. He didn't need to catch up with Athena's computing power, because as time went by and his own abilities grew, Athena might not always be able to match his computing speed.

After checking the time, Adam asked, "By the way, when is the party you're attending? I'll call Christine and tell her to get ready, then I'll come pick her up."

Tony was taken aback; clearly, he hadn't paid attention to the time either. After all, Pepper Potts always reminded him of the time and place of parties, so he knew the exact time and location.

At this moment, Jarvis said, "Sir, the party you're attending tonight is at the Hilton Hotel, and it starts in about two hours. Miss Potts prepared Mr. Tony's outfit this morning; it's on the bed in the bedroom. Mr. Adam, would you like me to have an evening gown custom-made for you and Miss Christine?"

Adam shook his head after hearing this. He said, "Thank you, Jarvis, but no need. Since it's two hours from now, I'll be leaving now. Tony, see you tonight."

Tony nodded and said, "Okay, see you tonight!" He then prepared to see Adam off.

Adam waved his hand after looking at it and said, "No need to see me off, I'm very fast, you know that!" Then he disappeared with a whoosh.

Tony shrugged after seeing this and said, "How come this guy seems to get stronger every now and then? Looks like I might have to do something." As he spoke, a vague idea came to his mind.

Jarvis asked, "Sir, what are you planning to do?"

After listening, Tony said, "Alright, let's go to the lab downstairs first. I only have some vague ideas right now, and I need you to make a note of them."

Jarvis said very gently, "I'm at your service anytime, sir."

Meanwhile, after Adam left his hometown, he returned to his villa. At this time, Christine was still in Switzerland, practicing at the Temple of Apollo. Adam thought for a moment, picked up the phone, and made a call.

Originally, technological items could not be used inside the Temple of the Sun. However, after Helios gave the temple to Adam and Christine, Christine tried to make some changes, and the ability to use communication devices was exactly what Christine had worked on for a long time.

Soon, the call connected, and Christine's slightly tired voice came through the phone.

"Honey, you're home already? Is something the matter?"

Christine knew that Adam wouldn't call her during this time unless there were special circumstances, and all of this was done to improve her strength as quickly as possible. Therefore, when she heard the phone ring, Christine ended her training and answered the call.

Adam said gently, “Yes, we’re home now. By the way, Tony and I were invited by the Hilton sisters to a party they’re hosting. I stood them up last time, but I have to go this time. And this party isn’t like the last one; it’s a gathering of heirs from some large corporations or families, so I thought I’d take you there.”

Christine chuckled and said, "Okay, wait for me a moment, I'll be there soon!"

Adam shook his head and said, "There's no need to rush. You still have two hours. You'd better rest first. I can tell from your voice that you've been cultivating all day without much rest. This won't do. If you continue like this, I won't allow you to continue cultivating."

Christine pouted and said, "Okay, okay, I know. I just want to fight alongside you and face any difficulties with you. Don't be so fierce, okay?"

Adam laughed and said, "Okay, I know how you feel. Alright, go and get some rest. I'll wait for you at home. I'm hanging up now. Love you! See you later." Then he hung up the phone.

About an hour and a half later, a flash of golden light appeared in Adam's room, and Christine appeared on the magic circle that had vanished in an instant. Seeing Adam lying on the bed reading a book, she smiled gently, leaned down and kissed him.

Adam hugged Christine and gave her a passionate kiss, asking, "How was it? How many spells did you learn today?"

Christine chuckled, "Hehe, I didn't learn much magic today. I just reviewed the spells I learned before. But I heard from my mother that I can cast spells twice as fast as before!"

After hearing this, Adam kissed Christine and said, "Great, this is your gift. If you want a more intense reward, I can give it to you when you come back tonight."

Christine rolled her eyes at her reproachfully and said, "Hmph, you're always up to no good. I'm ignoring you now. I'm going to take a shower. Remember not to follow me." With that, she left the bedroom.

Adam smiled slightly after hearing this and said, "Isn't this just tempting me? Even though it's too late to fully enjoy myself, it still has its own charm!"

Adam tiptoed into the bathroom, and soon blush-inducing sounds filled the air.

At the entrance of the Hilton Hotel, Nicky Hilton looked anxiously outside, seemingly waiting for someone. Four or five bodyguards in black suits stood beside her, seemingly protecting her.

Just then, a deep engine sound came, and a silver Maserati sports car stopped in front of the Hilton Hotel. Nicky Hilton's eyes lit up when she saw the man in the driver's seat. However, seeing the man looking at the woman beside him with a gentle expression, she pouted her sexy little mouth unhappily, then composed herself and walked very ladylike to the bright silver sports car.

Ps:

I'm so sorry about yesterday. My house is being renovated, and I didn't even have a place to put my things. Plus, I worked overtime until after 10 PM. I'll just post one chapter today!

Chapter 161 Party Turmoil 2

Adam stopped the car, tossed the keys to a waiting waiter, and then went to the other side of the sports car to open the door for Christine. At that moment, Nicky Hilton ran over with a big smile.

"Hey Adam, you really came! I thought Tony was lying to me when I heard what he said before."

Seeing the smile on Nikki's face, Adam felt a bit of a headache. In order not to give her any reason to misunderstand, Adam took Christine's arm and said very calmly, "Um, Miss Hilton, why are you out alone? Are you waiting for someone?"

Upon hearing Adam's words, Nikki was furious and wanted to say something, but then she suddenly remembered something and thought to herself: 'Hmph, Adam, don't think that your coldness towards me will make me give up! I'm not one of those idiots.'

Thinking this, Nikki put on a lovesick look and said excitedly, "Wow, Adam, you looked so cool just now! I loved how you looked!"

Adam was taken aback, then looked at Nikki with amusement, wondering if they could still enjoy the party. He then suspected it was a trick, so he ignored Nikki and left with Christine at the door.

Watching Adam's departing figure, Nikki smiled brightly and said, "Hehe, I never expected Adam to have this side to him. I'm tired of seeing his sunny side all the time. It's nice to change things up once in a while." With that, she skipped away from the doorway.

Not far from the door, a young man glanced at Nicky's back and said coldly, "Hmph, you shameless bitch, why didn't you listen to me when I confessed properly? Turns out you've fallen for that guy. Since you're so ungrateful, don't blame me for messing around! Superman is nothing to me!" As he spoke, a few purple lightning flashed in the boy's eyes.

Meanwhile, in a red world, a person dressed in a purple magic robe, wielding an exquisite magic wand, with a full head of silver hair but appearing to be around twenty-three or twenty-four years old, calmly said, "Twenty years have passed. I never imagined I would actually live in this place for twenty years. Shadow Knight, I swore on the first day I arrived in this world that if I could return to Earth, I would make you wish you were dead! No rush, no rush, there are still thirteen chances left, hahaha, Shadow Knight, you'd better wait for me!" By the end, his previous calmness had vanished, replaced by boundless madness.

This person was none other than Eric Hassen, the mage who had been consumed by his own magic. He had been transported to this strange, red world, the legendary Hell, for a full twenty years. Of course, this time was calculated according to Hell's time. From being enslaved by some races in Hell when he first arrived, to now becoming a great mage who was considered quite prominent even in Hell, we can imagine how difficult Eric Hassen's life in Hell had been.

Of course, all of this is Eric Hassen's own fault. If he hadn't rescued Adam before mastering magic and gone to cause trouble for him, and hadn't used forbidden magic he couldn't control when he was no match for Adam, perhaps he wouldn't have ended up in this world. But Eric doesn't think so, because it is precisely his hatred for Adam that is the driving force that keeps him living in hell. If it weren't for hatred sustaining him, perhaps Eric Hassen wouldn't even exist in this world.

However, regardless of the circumstances, Eric Hassen has weathered the most difficult period. If he can complete the thirty-six tasks assigned to him by the Lord of Hell, he will gain the right to freely travel between Hell and the mortal realm. Of course, he won't be able to stay on Earth for very long, only four days. The reason he can't stay permanently is that Eric Hassen can no longer be considered human; he's now a creature of Hell. Being able to come to Earth at all is already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

With a whoosh, a person shrouded in a white robe appeared before Eric, snapping him out of his reverie. Eric stared at the white-robed figure with his fiery red eyes and asked, "What mission does the Lord of Hell have?"

The man in white nodded and said in his hoarse voice, "That's right! Your great master has a new mission, which can be converted into three missions for you!"

Eric Hassen was delighted upon hearing this and said, "Oh, it can be converted into three missions? Okay, I'll take this mission, haha, as long as I complete ten more missions, I will be able to travel freely between the two worlds!"

The man in white said calmly, "I'm sorry to have made you happy for nothing. What our great master said is that the number of missions you can complete will be reduced by three. In other words, if you want to gain your freedom, you will have to complete sixteen more missions!"

Eric Hassen was furious upon hearing this and demanded, "What? The number of missions I need to complete has increased? Why! This is completely against the rules! I demand to see the Lord of Hell!"

The man in white waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, hehe, you're lucky this time because the mission isn't in Hell, but in your hometown! You should know what that means."

Eric Hassen was stunned upon hearing this, and asked incredulously, "Is this mission really on Earth?"

The man in white said arrogantly, "Of course! As a servant of the mighty Lord of Hell, how could I lie? I'm not a demon. Hmph, listen to this lucky fellow, your mission this time is to go to Earth to monitor someone. His information will automatically appear in your mind after you arrive on Earth. If it weren't for knowing that you were originally from Earth, the great master wouldn't have entrusted you with this mission. Hmph, you should know how to be grateful!"

Eric Hassen bowed slightly and said, "Yes, Your Excellency, I will definitely complete this mission perfectly!"

The man in white continued, "Remember, the guy you're monitoring this time is quite troublesome, so don't let your guard down. You have three days to prepare. After three days, just crush this magic ball, and you'll be able to see the passage to Earth!"

Eric Hassen suppressed his excitement and said, "Yes, waiter, I will not take it lightly and will complete the task assigned by the Lord of Hell perfectly!"

The man in white nodded in satisfaction, casually tossed a magic ball the size of a grape to Eric Hassen, and then disappeared. Eric Hassen, seeing the magic ball in his hand, couldn't possibly endure three days of waiting. So, after returning to his residence and activating the defensive array, he crushed the magic ball and, with a face full of excitement and hatred, walked into the passage leading to Earth.

At the center of the hellish space lies a small island suspended above the lava. Inside the island is a castle themed in black and blood red, which is the castle of the largest ruler in the entire hellish space.

Just as Eric Hassen crushed the magic orb and left, the creator of the Divine Might Magic Orb, the Lord of Hell—a middle-aged man dressed in a white suit, exuding a strange aura that blended elegance and evil—sat on a throne carved from white jade, a charming smile playing on his lips. He said, "So eager to leave already, you really are a restless fellow. No wonder you were so easily defeated by that guy who couldn't see the trajectory of fate. You good-for-nothing! Let me give you some trouble!" With that, he flicked his finger, and a tiny black light flashed and disappeared.

At the Hilton Hotel in Manhattan, the Hilton sisters hosted a party for the heirs of New York City's elite and the successors of major corporations. Of course, the presence of top Hollywood stars after each party added some fun to the event, especially for those with lustful thoughts.
