Harvey's hand slid right into the can. The sound of the catch loudly split the air. It turned out to be an unopened drink. Harvey gave Don a knife-sharp glance. “What you're doing is dangerous. You might hurt someone.”The can in Harvey's hand shrivels, the metal dented by his firm grip. With a slow motion, Harvey tosses the can aside. The clinking sound of the can broke the silence between them. Slowly but with a heavy aura, Harvey turns his body around. So that he and Don were now facing each other.Don clicked his tongue. He strides over haughtily, pointing at Harvey. “This is all because of you!”His voice held a firm emotion, as if ready to ignite the fire of rage within him. “You caused this accident and now you want to run away. You want to run away from responsibility, huh?”The people who had gathered earlier now began to swarm around Harvey and Don like ants. They were looking at Harvey with piercing gazes, like they were looking at a hunted animal caught in a trap.One man

Two policemen jumped out of the patrol car, their footsteps echoing through the streets before stopping near Don who sat limply on the sidewalk. One of the cops crouched down, tapping the man's shoulder carefully. “What's going on here? Are you okay?”Don tried to speak, but only the sound of his labored breathing came out, raspy and disconnected. He squeezed the side of his stomach, the expression on his face one of pain. “He... he attacked me-”The cop glanced at Don's hand clutching his solar plexus. His forehead wrinkled, as if he realized something. “A blow to the liver. It must hurt a lot.”Don took a deep breath, but only half the air made it in before it stopped with a raspy sound, like a rusty wheel trying to turn. He looked up, his eyes red with anger even as his body faltered. “He... he's a thug! Made me crash, then hit me!” His voice rose, though his breathing was intermittent. “He thinks he's... untouchable!”The policeman shook his head softly, his palm remaining on Don

Harvey closed his eyes slowly as if he was holding back something big. Slowly, he took in his surroundings as he opened his eyes. Then with a slightly faint but firm gaze, Harvey exhaled a long breath.The sound of the exhale was like a wave breaking the air. In an instant the atmosphere became more tense than before. Immediately the tension crept into Jordan's mind. He who was standing next to Harvey could feel something was wrong. “Is there something going on? The General doesn't seem happy.”With authority and firmness, Harvey turned to Jordan. Making Jordan immediately stand up straight, ready to listen to the general's orders. His eyes were straight ahead, unable to look at Harvey's sharp as a sword gaze. He knew that Harvey was about to say something.Harvey squinted slightly, implying a slight feeling of disappointment. He slowly opened his lips. “How did this happen?”Jordan tilted his head slightly. Harvey's short speech was still like a riddle in Jordan's head. “What do you

Harvey set foot on what used to be his father's land. His steps felt heavy, even though the road in front of him looked smooth. It was as if there was a rope holding him down.Magnificent buildings stood firmly along the road, their shadows creating a chilling impression. Between the concrete corners, Harvey could re-imagine the green expanse that once existed, the cheerful sound of birds that used to chirp in the morning, and the laughter of his father when he told him about future dreams. But all that is now buried under layers of asphalt and bricks.Harvey stopped in front of a large building with the Comber family logo emblazoned across the top. His jaw hardens, his teeth chattering as he recalls how the family took this land from his father ten years ago. Harvey's hands clenched tightly at his sides, but he let out a long breath, trying to calm the anger that began to creep into his chest.Harvey muttered to himself. Along with a long exhale. “I'm late for this place, Father.” H

“Ah! That hurts!” Wade groaned while holding his shoulder. The pain was still great even though the collision had passed.Wade's other friends came over and tried to help him up. Their faces were filled with confusion. Because what they saw wasn't anything big.Nika frowned, she looked worried about Wade. “What's wrong, Wade? Are you okay?”Being asked that by a woman stirred Wade's ego. It would feel weak if Wade continued to behave like that.Forcibly, Wade moved his body to stand back up. Then he furrowed his brows as he stared at Harvey. The flames of hatred rose in his chest. In his mind, he was still holding back. “Damn it... why did a small collision cause me this much pain?”Because of the pain, Wade held his shoulder again, but then he pointed at Harvey. “He hit me! Look, he's deliberately trying to harm me. Poor bastard! How dare you do this to me.”All eyes were immediately on Harvey. Their gazes were like hawks spotting prey. Ready to pounce at any moment.Harvey faced it

On top of the building, Harvey looked down. His gaze was sharp, unwavering, piercing straight through Wade and his entourage. They look around, searching, but they can't find Harvey anywhere. Slowly, their expressions changed. Fear spread across their faces, and finally, with hurried steps and pale faces, they fled.Harvey took a deep breath. Cold air flowed around him, as if every molecule was frozen by his presence. His eyes closed for a moment, giving room to the firmness that seeped from within him.Harvey recalled Wade's words that he was going to hold an arbitrary concert in this place. Something that shouldn't be done on Harvey's father's land. "This place is not for concerts."As his last breath was exhaled, the air heated up again. It was as if the world was obeying his command, as if it was responding to the warmth Harvey was offering. The fire of determination in Havey's chest burned to reclaim this land.With slow, calm movements, Harvey turned around. Behind him, Jordan a

Breathing heavily, Wade opened the door to his house, then shut it tightly. He immediately locked it like a man being chased by a ghost.With a pale face and cold sweat pouring down his face, he backed away slowly. He hesitantly kept his eyes on the door as he swallowed. “He didn't follow me, did he?”“What are you doing, Wade?” The call startled Wade, as if someone was pointing a gun at him from behind. Wade frantically turned around and started to run. However, he immediately canceled his intention when he saw the figure who had just called him. It turned out to be a man in his 50s. The owner of this house, Jullian Comber.Wade immediately leaned his back against the door limply, while exhaling a long breath. His eyes were closed and his face was exhausted, as if he had been holding his breath since before. “Ah... it was you, Dad. You surprised me.”The frown on Julian's forehead deepened as wonder crept into his mind. With slow, dignified steps the man approached Wade. He could va

Harvey stared at the hospital construction report with keen eyes, taking in every detail. "Great..." his words came out quietly, barely audible, but full of meaning. His sharp eyes showed a faint satisfaction, observing the faster progress than he had anticipated.On the other side of the table, the report lay, but Harvey's gaze remained fixed on the results of the hard work that had materialized. Doctor Aurelia had already attracted many patients, even before the hospital had opened its doors. Harvey took a deep breath, creating silence between the crinkling sounds of the paper touching. The woman's dedication, which he could clearly see, made a faint smile etched at the corner of his lips.Not an ordinary smile of happiness, but rather a kind of wordless acknowledgment. It was the smile of a leader who knew when to reward. He looked down at the cup of coffee that had been filled from earlier, then took it slowly. The black liquid slid down his throat, giving a different warmth with

“Uncle Cole?” Andreas's eyebrows knitted together like threads, the tips bending downward. His lips curled downward, along with the disappointment he felt. His mind was like a tangle of threads trying to make sense of Cole's words, but the more he tried to unravel the more lost his mind became. “Why is Uncle Cole suddenly saying this?”Andreas pointed at Harvey's face with a sharp movement, breaking the air in front of him. His eyes widened, as if his eyeballs were emitting lightning, full of fury like a newly ignited fire. “He's a troublemaker? Why should I apologize to him?” Andreas' jaw hardened to say it. His voice trembled, full of pressure.Cole opened his eyes even wider, the anger and worry in his eyes becoming more and more implicit. With a nervous movement, he pulled Andreas to his feet. “You don't understand. Hurry up and apologize, damn nephew!”Andreas clenched his teeth even more, making his jaw hard to hold back his emotions. His heart was beating faster with bated brea

“What?” Andreas tilted his head slightly, his eyebrows knitted together like intertwined threads. His eyes narrowed further, sweeping Rolland's face questioningly.Andreas took a deep breath, his chest puffed out firmly with confidence. His movements, though slow but firm, seemed to give the impression that he was not a random person. Even though he knew that the person talking to him was a respected figure in Duskvale, it was not enough to suppress Andreas' ego. To him, his uncle had contributed to this country. He was a hero who needed to be honored. So Andreas also needed to be honored as a member of his family.The look of respect for Rolland faded, Andreas' gaze became more challenging. “Governor, do you not know who I am?”Andreas pointed at himself with a slight smug grin. As the son of the Brown family, surely many people should recognize him.Rolland furrowed his brows like intertwined threads. He took a good look at the young man's face, he didn't feel like inviting a young

All eyes were glued to the man who held the security guard's hand without fear. Slowly, their eyes opened wide as if they saw something unexpected.One man there noticed the person. He caught his breath and held it. “Wait, isn't he Dean Watson?”The guests froze instantly in their places. Some of their eyebrows rose high, while exchanging glances with each other. Whispers began to flow like waves. One of the women gulped and her mouth began to open. “The Dean Watson you're referring to... That Dean Watson, right?”With his head slightly tilted, the man nodded confidently. Even his jaw hardened as if it could not be shaken. “Yes, Dean Watson, the Commander who guards the northern region of Royota harbor.”The invited guests held their breath for a moment, their eyes rounded even more as they glanced at the Commander. They began to whisper whether the person in front of them was really Dean Watson.The man glanced at Dean Watson with admiring eyes. Slowly, his mouth opened. “Commander D

The crowd of pairs of eyes opened wide as if frozen after Andraes said that. Their minds seemed to drift away, unable to believe what they had just heard.“Huh? He's an important person invited by Governor Rolland West?” A man in a bow tie couldn't take his eyes off Andreas.A blonde woman beside him covered her mouth with the palm of her hand. “Oh, he knows the Governor well?”“I heard Governor Rolland West invited someone very important. Is that the man in question? He's the son of the Brown family, right?” a man pointed at Andreas with confidence. The excitement made all the guests start whispering about Governor Rolland West's special guest.In the guests' minds, getting an invitation to this party was already very difficult. Let alone getting a special invitation. Surely that person was someone very important to the Governor.Admiring glances continued to rain down on Andreas. He really enjoyed the little sounds of praise being showered on him. Before he knew it, the corners of h

A click of the tongue sounded loudly from Whitley's red lips. As if the words of the waiter were not valid. The woman folded her arms across her chest while glaring fiercely at the waitress. “What are you saying, waiter? Did you forget about your partner just now?”“Pardon?” the waiter frowned, he let out a hesitant smile mixed with fear. His breath was slightly held as he felt the pressure from this woman. “Forgot?”Whitley tilted his head, then he glanced sharply at Harvey, as if ready to puncture the man's embarrassment. “You should be doing well, Waiter. Even the information about the waiter named Harvey is incomprehensible to you. Your performance is really very poor. You were hired at such a luxurious party.”The waitress made a face. His eyes lowered slightly, as if avoiding Whitley's sharp gaze. “However, that cannot prove that this gentleman is a waiter.”Andreas then stepped in front of the waiter with intimidatingly firm steps. His eyes were sharp like a predator ready to p

The sound of Andreas's loafer steps slowly approached. With a smug face, the man smiled faintly at Harvey. Underestimating Harvey's presence in this place. “Oh, it's a surprise to see you here.”His footsteps stopped right next to Whitley. Casually, Andreas' hand curled around Whitley's neck, and then he took hold of Whitley's shoulder. He gently stroked the smooth skin of the shoulder, as if it were his own.The thin, dismissive smile grew wider, as if eager for Harvey to see what he could do. “I don't know what tricks you use, Harvey. However, seeing a poor man like you dressed up like this is very off-putting to me. It looks inappropriate.”Andreas furrowed his brows and shook his head. It was as if he was forbidding a child to play in the mud.Whitley snorted, his lips pulled back, making a dismissive smile bloom. His gaze lowered to HArvey, he agreed with Andreas' opinion. “That's right... this outfit doesn't suit you very well, Harvey. You're better suited in a dull, holey t-shi

“Here we are.” Andreas and Whitley entered the hall of a large, imposing building. The room was huge and tall, with beautiful lights hanging from it. Classical music from pianos and violins was being played nicely by the musicians. The voices even sounded very polite to the ears, perfectly fitting the relaxed atmosphere.Johan and Patricia joined hands behind Andreas and Whitley. The smiles on their faces blossomed like flowers. A feeling of pride welled up in their chests. Attending this party was an honor they were looking forward to.Patricia's eyes lit up when she saw how beautiful this party was. She exhaled a cold breath as she smiled at her husband. “Honey, this is great.”Johan nodded slowly as he returned Patricia's smile. Her eyes sparkled with happiness. “Cole has invited us here. Let's just enjoy the party, Patricia.”Patricia gave her husband the sweetest smile she had not given him in a long time. Her eyes slowly glanced at some of the people who were chatting. “Oh, dea

“Mr. Johan, good morning!” A pretty secretary in a red dress greeted Johan Brown with a friendly smile. She bowed, showing her deep respect for Johan.Johan returned her friendly smile with a slight nod of his head. “Good morning Kelly.”With slow movements, he opened the door to his room. Then he walked in and sat proudly in the chair.Kelly entered with graceful steps, her high heels making a soft sound on the marble floor. In her hand, a steaming mug of latte coffee, emitting a sweet aroma that filled the room.“Please, Mr. Johan.” Kelly placed the cup on the table with a careful gesture, as if the coffee was something precious.Johan greeted her with a faint smile as he nodded. “You know very well I can't start my morning without a latte.”Kelly smiled, revealing perfect white teeth. “Of course, sir. You are the pillar of this company. It's my job to make sure you're always ready to face the day.”Johan lifted his cup, sipping slowly. The bitter-sweet taste of the coffee was like
