“Yes.” The auctioneer nodded. “But our lovely participant for today has a very busy schedule and she couldn’t honor us with the one-day date. However, she agreed to dance and date with the highest bidder for one hour.”
“Isn’t it unfair? We were going to bid tons of money just for one hour?” the student sneered, and the other students complained the same way. “Is that person so special that all she could offer is a dance to compromise with the lack of time?”
“Well, if we are going to talk about the word ‘special’ here, then this person is the most special of them all!”

“I WILL also bid for fifty thousand dollars.”As Damian spoke those words, everyone gasped in shock as they looked at Damian in disbelief. Even Anya, who was getting bored earlier while listening to the auction, suddenly looked at Damian in confusion. She never thought Damian would participate in an auction like this, nor did she expect Damian to watch it at least.“A-Alright!” the auctioneer acknowledged, snapping herself back to reality after a few seconds of being stunned. “Who else?”The students continued blabbering after the auctioneer asked that, but their topic wasn’t about Anya now. It was about how Damian easily bid for fifty thousand dollars when they, who were children of wealthy families, couldn’t even do it.Suddenly, one of the students raised a hand. “I wasn’t having doubts about Terrence and Clyde’s bid because they are rich, but what about Damian?” he asked, looking at Damian condescendingly. “Although I know that he was now working at the Ferremento Corporation, i

THEIR LAUGHTER faded. Terrence and Clyde’s emotions were suddenly changed into anger and rage. “What?”“It is your parents’ money, and not yours,” Damian answered without hesitation, causing them to clench their fists and grit their teeth angrily.“You just don’t have your parents anymore who can give you money like what our parents are doing to us, you fucking piece of shit,” Terrence said, his voice laced with disdain. “Don’t blame all your shortcomings on us!”If Damian heard those words before, he might have gotten hurt. But now that Veron had already found him, and now that he was much stronger than before, all their harsh words just went past his ear.As much as he wanted to speak, Damian didn’t retaliate. Instead, he placed the wallet in his backpack and smirked. “I just showed you my empty wallet, but did I say I don’t have that amount of money to spare?”Damian opened his bag, took something from it, and gave it to one of the committees. With a polite smile, he said, “Fifty t

EVERYONE’S EYES widened upon hearing the auctioneer’s words as their gazes shifted to Anya, who never bothered to hide her smirk.Damian also smirked subtly, especially as his eyes locked with Anya for a moment. ‘You were so sure that no one would dare date you because of this, huh?’ he thought upon realizing why Anya had that wicked smirk earlier.“This is unfair!” Clyde suddenly exclaimed, his tone laced with annoyance. “This is an auction, so what’s with the sudden question-and-answer portion? And pursue? She is here as a participant for fuck’s sake!”“He’s right! This is ridiculous!” Terrence seconded the motion.“If you don’t have the guts to answer questions, then leave the stage,” Anya spoke this time, whom everyone didn’t notice was holding a microphone now. “Why are you making it look like I forced you to bid and come here?”Anya’s tone and expression were laced with intimidation, making Terrence and Clyde stunned. Anya may be a woman, but her presence was more powerful than

“WHAT THE hell did he just say? I never understood anything.”“Same as me, but I think he answered the question correctly. I can feel the confidence in his voice.”“Me too, but…how did he know about it? It was a difficult question!”The place was suddenly filled with buzz as they looked at Damian, surprisingly shocked and amused at his answer. Even the auctioneer, the committee members, and Anya were stunned. They suddenly wondered how Damian would shock them more as his progress was top tier recently.“C-Correct!” the auctioneer exclaimed when she got the signal from the committee, her voice slightly shaking, as she looked at Damian with her eyes glimmering. “Wow, just wow. No offense, but I thought this question was hard for everyone to answer, yet you answered it effortlessly!”“Thank you,” Damian gave his gratitude in a polite tone, not being boastful about it. “I learned about it by reading books.”And it was the truth. Damian always uses his spare time by reading books and watc

DAMIAN wasn’t able to respond anymore upon hearing those words. He was stunned as his face reddened, being caught off-guard at Anya’s words.And now, even though it was their time to dance, no one spoke between them.Damian and Anya were in the middle of the stage, dancing to the sweet, slow song playing in the background. The atmosphere and Anya’s presence were everything a man could ask for, and Damian felt that holding Anya up close like this was surreal. It felt like a dream.However, Damian snapped out of his thoughts when Anya spoke.“Can I ask you a question too, Damian?” Anya asked, her hands holding both of Damian’s shoulders.“Go ahead,” answered Damian.“To be honest, I never expected you to bid at the auction,” Anya said bluntly, making Damian chuckle in response. “I was shocked, but what shocked me the most was when you went to the stage, ready to answer the questions despite the uncertainty.”Damian nodded and smiled.“Why did you do it? The questions they asked you wer

“IT’S DONE!” the woman exclaimed as she ran back toward Damian’s direction. “We also had successfully refunded the payment we deducted from Sir Terrence’s card earlier. This will not be possible if not for your generosity, Sir!”“It is fine as long as we solve this problem already.” Damian smiled, staring at Terrence whose mouth widened because of shock.“How…How did you have that huge amount of money to spare?” Terrence asked in a low tone, looking at Damian in disbelief. “What happened to you? How was a beggar like you able to spend money like this?”“I’m not spending money. I’m donating it to the charity,” Damian corrected him. “And to answer your first question, just like how life favors people living in the shadows sometimes, good things happened to me.”“That’s bullshit!” Terrence said, gritting his teeth.“Bullshit as it may sound to you, but that is how life works.” Damian stepped forward, giving Terrence a dark and intimidating gaze. There, he muttered, “And if you don’t take

CARSON already graduated in college, yet he chose to participate in the retreat. Why? Because he wanted to compete. He was doing this retreat starting his freshmen year, and in the games the organizers prepared for this day, he always won.And there will be no exemption.“Everyone, listen!” Inigo, the leader exclaimed and clapped, getting everyone’s attention. “There will only be two agendas for today. First is the seminar about career readiness, which will explain various aspects about transitioning from university to the workforce.”“Ugh!” the students complained, pouting as they wanted to go home. “That’s so boring!”“Quiet!” Inigo said, and everyone went silent afterward. “In the afternoon, we will be having team building and bonding activities. I can decide whether to advance the time for it, but it will depend on how all of you will behave in the seminar. Do you understand?”“Yes, Sir!” everyone affirmed.A few minutes later, the seminar began. Since there weren't many students,

“Damian!” Carson suddenly called, causing Damian, who was walking slowly yet surely, to look at him. “What are you doing in a place like this?”“I should ask you the same thing,” Damian retorted, looking at Carson condescendingly. “Didn’t you instruct your teammates earlier that they should be the ones to find the flag in places like this instead of you?” He raised an eyebrow.Damian didn’t have any plans to eavesdrop, but he couldn’t help but listen as he saw Carson being mad. It was the time he realized the rumors about Carson were true; that he was ready to do everything just to win.Upon hearing those words, Carson’s brows furrowed. “And so? It is their job as my people. They should be the ones to do hard things, and not me.”“They aren’t your people. They are your team,” Damian corrected him with his teeth gritting, thinking that Ferremento Corporation’s employees would be in a bad state if they were handled by someone like Carson.“I’m their leader, and I can do whatever the fuc

Epilogue: The Last Retaliation
THE hostage-taking Carter did in the warehouse spread in various news channels like wildfire. Everyone was shocked because of his sudden escape from prison, making the residents afraid for their safety, knowing that the management wasn’t doing their job properly to monitor the prisoners.With that, the warden and his apprentices, who were also under Carter’s authority, were fired from their jobs. They were replaced by a management who cared about their citizens, removing the patronage system in the prison, and bringing back justice at the same time.Due to Carter’s crimes being in high intensity, he was transferred to a high-security prison. Carter could only laugh as his mind was still in the past, thinking how rich and powerful he was, even though that wasn’t the case now.Carter had already gone insane, but it was only the beginning of his suffering.“At last, you finally arrived,” Catelyn, who was waiting in Carter’s cell, greeted. “Did you miss me?”“What are you doing here?” Cart

Chapter 336: Let's End This Now
THE lights were flickering, adding tension in the air, as Damian entered the warehouse alone. He doesn’t have any guns or other weapons with him, nor he didn’t call anyone like Carter instructed.Damian was on high alert as he continued walking when suddenly, two men wearing full black clothes started to approach him with their guns.‘Fuck,’ cursed Damian at the back of his mind, seeing how helpless he was right now.Especially after seeing Ava tied to the chair, his mouth gagged, while Catela is sleeping in the crib beside her.Despite the situation, he couldn’t give up. Damian needed to save himself along with Ava and Catela and end this fight with Carter so it wouldn’t repeat.The two men tied Damian’s hands and feet to the chair, but unlike Ava, they didn’t gag him.“It is so unusual to see how obedient you are. I never thought you could do it,” Carter, who appeared from the shadows, smirked upon seeing Damian being helpless. “That’s right. They will always be safe as long as you

Chapter 335: Everything Will Be Alright
“That was not enough for all the bullshit you did to me before. But for now, let’s call it even," Damian said.Carson only shook his head as he wiped the blood on his lips before leaving the house. And the only thing that was running through his mind was how strong Damian’s punch was… before until now.THE NEXT morning, Carson didn’t just confess what he did to the board members, but he conducted a press conference to publicly apologize to Damian. He knew that Damian deserved to clear his name and regain his reputation, and although his public apology wasn’t enough, he still did it to show his sincerity.“Starting today, Carson Ferremento is now terminated as the CEO, and will face two years of suspension because of him ruining the Ferremento Corporation’s reputation,” Piper announced, her tone colder than usual. “The position will go back to Damian Giovanni Ferremento.”Carson smiled sadly, but he knew he needed to accept the consequences of his actions.However, since Damian had a

“That bastard. He told you that even though you have a husband?” Carson asked, his teeth gritting.“Well, this is just an arranged marriage, and he knows it.” Ava shrugged. “To be honest, I would marry a man like him although he isn’t the richest, than stay with a puppet like you, who only knows how to follow someone else—”“Here,” Carson interjected, giving Ava the signed papers. “I will let you take Catela because I need to deal with something, but I will take her away from you once I'm done.”“Hah. As if I will let you do that.” Ava scoffed and rolled her eyes. “Thank you for this, Carson. Catela will benefit so much from this.”And as if Ava was waiting for this to happen, when she went again to their bedroom to take Catela, she already had her luggage with her and was talking to someone.“Yes, he already signed the divorce paper, and I’m all set…” Ava said, smiling from ear to ear. “Oh, your bodyguard is outside the house already? Alright. I will let him in.”Ignoring Carson, Ava

Chapter 333: History Repeats Itself
After Carter went out of the house unnoticed, that was the only time Carson could breathe properly. He didn’t even realize he was suppressing his breath because of fear.‘Is that really the brother I used to be with ever since I was a child?’ Carson thought, his heart racing, as he leaned into a tree. ‘We are family. Why would he threaten me like that? Is the company and the organization more important to him than me?’And upon asking himself that question, Carson got his answer. Carter wouldn’t mind killing everyone who would be a hindrance to his plans, and he is not an exemption.His gaze went to the house—Something he had because of Carter. Everything he had was him, not giving Carson any chance to carve out his own identity. He was only known for his surname, and for all his careless actions when he was in teenager days.The only thing he had that wasn’t connected with Carter was Dollie, whom he took for granted, and now his family; Ava, his wife, and Catela, their child.“Ava,”

Realizing that Damian needs him right now, Veron took his phone and called a number. It was someone he thought he would never talk with again.“Veron,” Charlie Wiles, the CEO of the Legion Mercenaries, called. “It has been a long time, huh? What do you need this time?”“I have to ask you for a favor,” Veron replied.“A favor?” Charlie raised an eyebrow. “If it is about our operations, I’m sorry, but I need to decline. You know that we can’t take clients in other countries other than Colossia, right?”“I know that. You are not taking me as a dumb person, aren’t you?” Veron shot back, his voice laced with irritation now. “I need someone I trust to do this task for me, and I’m willing to pay any amount you want for it.”“Any amount, huh? Talking to rich people is different.” Charlie chuckled on the other line, yet he became serious afterward. “But alright, deal. What is it that you want me to do?”“I want you to find Correl Ferremento’s location and kill him,” Veron commanded, his tone s

“Carson,” Damian called as his eyes darkened in anger. “It is you, isn’t it?”“If you are asking about the new CEO of this company, yes. It’s me,” Carson answered, smirking, as he placed the documents he brought to the table. “Why? Are you surprised that a person who was once a happy-go-lucky like me would be chosen to replace you?”“Why would I be surprised if you planned everything for this to happen?” Damian shot back, the annoyance evident in his tone. “Seeing you in front of me now just strengthens my hunch. It was you who messed up with the data. How could you?”Carson’s smirk widened. He didn’t answer. Instead, he stood proudly in the middle with his arms folded.“I’m not here because of the shitty things you accuse me of, but because I have given the board of directors a proposal strategy that you can’t provide.” Carson slid the document in front of Damian. “Here. Look at this.”Damian didn’t move at first, but a few seconds later, he took the folder and looked at its contents

Chapter 330: The New CEO
“Young master,” James, whom Damian called, answered on the other line. “Young master Carson is still doing his old routine; working in his office the whole day and going home afterward.”“How certain are you?” Damian asked.James’ brows furrowed, but he still answered in a polite tone, “I’m always monitoring him, young master. I didn’t even let him out of my sight.”“I know, but something might have happened that slipped your notice,” Damian said, his tone low and serious. “The Ferremento Corporation is in chaos right now, and I’m sure Carson is involved with it. I need you to think carefully.”James obliged. The tip of his brows pressed harder on each other upon recalling the surveillance, and his lips widened as he remembered something.“There was one incident. A few days ago, Miss Ava Medivien bumped into me and caused a commotion. For a moment, I lost sight of young master Carson’s office,” confessed James. “But it was only for a few seconds.”“And that is the only amount of time t
