The atmosphere in the break room became tense as Ellen and the three other men engaged in a heated confrontation. Swearing and threats filled the air, escalating the situation. Ellen, his patience wearing thin, clenched his fists, ready to throw punches.Before the situation could escalate further, the team leader intervened, his stern gaze piercing through the chaos."What's going on here? Are you all out of your minds, fighting during break?" The team leader's voice was sharp, his eyes ablaze with anger as he directed his attention towards Ellen and the three troublemakers."Team leader, we're sorry," the two stammered in unison, bowing apologetically. Meanwhile, Ellen, still standing aloof, calmly adjusted his rumpled suit."I didn't expect much from you bastards, but fighting on the first day? Do you even want this job?" The team leader's disappointment was evident in his tone.Caught between pride and necessity, Ellen momentarily met the team leader's gaze but eventually closed h

As the accusations lingered in the air, Ellen felt the weight of the Goofly’s scheming pressing down on him. The room buzzed with tension, each word echoing in the stunned silence that followed.Everyone is staring at Ellen as he gathers his words. One wrong move and all of his plan could crumble before him, and everything will be in vain.“Hey, you bastard! Don’t think you could get away with this!” Goofly sneered.“Chief guard, don’t let him get away with this! We have witnesses that he’s been snooping around!” Goofly added.Ellen glanced at Goofly and his underlings, their faces twisted with accusation and anger. This was clearly a calculated move to undermine him, to turn everyone against him in one fell swoop.Chief Guard Annais raised a hand, silencing the room. Her gaze flickered between Ellen and Goofly, assessing the situation with a discerning eye."Goofly, your claims are serious, but we cannot rush to judgment," she said, her voice commanding attention. "Mr. Devron will ha

“You crazy bastard!” Annais quickly went to Goofly and beat the shit out of him. He punch him so hard that Goofly started spitting blood from his mouth.“It’s your idiocracy that led to this! You son of a bitch I will kill you!” Chief Annais yelled."Eeekkk!" Goofly shielded his face as Chief Annais drew her knife from her side, but the security quickly restrained her."Enough! Chief Annais, control your anger! This is not the right time to punish Mr. Goofly!" The director's voice resonated with anger."Solving violence with violence goes against your role as the chief guard of the security team!" The director admonished, and Chief Annais regained her composure.Ellen observed the unfolding scene with detachment. Despite the tension and panic, he felt no inclination to pity them.The Director look at Ellen with a pleading look. “We will do anything for us to avoid any conflict between our nation.

The relic was secured in a briefcase on his lap, and Ellen kept staring at it, deep in thought. Vox joined him in the car, and they set off together."Everything is set, Commander. We're ready to depart," Vox said, glancing at Ellen and the holy relic.Ellen remained silent, his gaze fixed on the relic. Vox sensed unease in Ellen's demeanor."What's wrong, Commander? Is there an issue with the relic?" Vox inquired, his own uncertainty growing.Without a word, Ellen drew Vox's knife from his side and deliberately slit his palm. Vox recoiled in shock. "Commander!" he exclaimed, taken aback by Ellen's unexpected action.Ellen carefully opened the briefcase, revealing the sacred contents within. He scooped a bit of the holy relic onto his palm, watching as the water glowed with an ethereal light. As he applied the re

The next day, Ellen and Sophie are happily chatting with each other at the backyard. Sophie thought that it might be good for her and her baby to get a sunlight and fresh air from time to time. Ellen stare at his wife’s face, thanking the gods that she’s now fully recovered from the incident of drugging.Ellen held out Sophie’s hand and kissed the back of her palm. “I’m grateful for your recovery, Sophie. Thank you for staying so strong and not letting go.” Ellen said while his eyes baring deep emotion as he looks at Sophie. Sophie smiled softly and rub Ellen’s hand.“Why would I leave my husband behind?” Sophie said while giggling softly. Ellen finally felt relieve but he knows, once Sophie started working again, she undoubtedly will hear rumors about Ellen from the past few weeks.Ellen couldn’t help but think that she wanted to lock away Sophie from everyone and shield her from everything that harms her, but no one likes a possessive and obsessive husband, right?
