“You saw some of my people peeking at this building. It wasn’t your plan to be here, but as soon as you knew that I was coming here, you sent all these people to capture me. Am I right?” Damian added.“Hah, who do you think you are?” Louie laughed sarcastically as he looked at Damian from head to toe. “You’re nothing but an arrogant shithead. What makes you think I won’t kill you?”“If you’re going to kill me, then why are you prolonging it?” Damian asked, raising a brow. “Because I’m right. The command you received states that you can’t kill me.”Damian already had a hunch about it when they were ambushed from the start. If their goal was to eliminate them all, those people wouldn’t even let them hide behind a wall. Instead, they were waiting for Damian to come out.‘Fuck it,’ said Louie at the back of his mind. ‘He was right. Young master Luther instructed us to get Damian alive and even unscathed. I can’t even give him a hard punch.’“Let’s say that you’re right…” Louie bent forwar

Suddenly, Damian’s mind traveled to an abandoned warehouse. It was dark, cold, and eerie. In the middle, Damian was tied to a chair, and his whole body couldn't move. In front of him were three guys wearing all-black suits, and all of them had guns on their waists.“W-Where am I?” Damian asked, his voice slightly trembling because of the pain and the coldness consuming his body since he was shirtless. “W-Who are you?”“You don’t need to know.”Behind the three men in suits, who looked like bodyguards, a man in his expensive clothing appeared. Damian couldn’t see his face since he wore a face mask, but his overall aura screams dominance and authority.“The only thing you need to know is that you’ll die today, and I’ll strip your identity out of you.” The man approached Damian, and one of the guards gave him two white gloves. Damian wondered what that was for, so his gaze traveled around the room. At the side, he saw the different types of things used for physical torture; Thumb cuffs,

“Hah. Is he trying to find Freya? After what she did to all of them?” Luther laughed sarcastically. “Stupid fool, but it is good that we can use his stupidity against him. Did he think that a poor man like him would win against someone rich and influential like me?”“I guess being poor is just his facade, young master…” Romeo replied, his voice low as he was doubting whether he would say what he heard earlier or not.Luther raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”“Someone called Damian ‘young master,’ and I heard it loud and clear.”“Young master? Of what? Trash?” asked Luther in a mocking tone, thinking that Romeo was just messing up with him. Last Updated : 2023-11-29

A FEW days later, Damian already got his well-needed rest. He didn’t go to work as Veron instructed, but his work wasn’t piled up. Kevin delegated all his tasks to everyone, and since all employees at the operations department were grateful to Damian, they took the tasks wholeheartedly.“Don’t worry about your work here, okay? You can even take a leave for two more days since we’re not that busy in the department,” said Kevin on the other line. “Focus on your rest. We can’t afford to lose someone as skilled and talented as you.”Hearing those words, Damian smiled subtly. “Alright. I am in the hospital now, preparing myself for another check-up. Thank you for considering my situation, Sir Kevin. I appreciate it a lot.”“No problem.” Kevin shook his head, smiling. “It should be us who should thank you for your hard work.” He looked at the time, and saw that it is almost one o’clock in the evening. “I should go back to work now. You should do your errands, too.”Kevin ended the call aft

“I don’t know. They said it was anonymous.” Violy shrugged and placed water on her hydro flask. “But her death was confirmed now. Some witnesses said that they saw Freya being entangled in a gang fight, that’s why she also died along with some gang members.”‘Gang members… He already made up a story about what happened, huh?’ Damian thought, his teeth gritted.“I never thought Freya would end up that way. She did something wrong, but I’m sad to know that she’s dead,” Violy added, sighing.“It’s because you treated her as a real friend.” Damian took a step away from the water dispenser to make way for Violy. “Then, what would happen to the ongoing case filed against her?”“The higher-ups decided to close it since the police can’t ask a dead person for her statement,” Violy closed the lid of her water bottle. “Anyway, where are you going to eat today? Rachel and I were going to the cafeteria. Do you want to join us?”“No. I made a reservation at the restaurant near the company today. I
