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 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

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

“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

“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

Harvey and Governor Rolland West are now sitting in a quieter room. Jordan stands behind Harvey straight and ready. It was a spacious room with beautiful Dutch teak furniture. The atmosphere was quieter than the party room.However, even the atmosphere of the room could not make the sweat on Governor Rolland West's face stop flowing. His heart was still racing as he watched Harvey calmly drinking coffee from his cup. It was as if the calmness was like deep water ready to wash him away.“Mr. Harvey. Ah, I mean, General,” Rolland called out in a trembling voice. He could feel the presence of Harvey who had a strong aura all the way down to his hair. For some reason Rolland felt that he had to be careful stringing words to Harvey. “I was really surprised that you were someone so young.”Rolland gave a smile that he did as softly as possible. He was trying hard despite the fact that doubt and worry were still clearly depicted on his face.Harvey glanced over calmly. His gaze was sharp and

“I can tell you right now, Mr. General,” Rolland said with a fiery look of conviction in his eyes. It was as if he had been waiting for this moment and didn't want to delay it any longer.Harvey calmly turned to Jordan. Then he slightly nodded his head as a sign that this was going to be an intense conversation and Jordan should listen to him. Jordan with a faint smile nodded. He seemed to be ready for everything that Harvey and Rolland West were going to talk about.Harvey returned his attention to Rolland West. Harvey calmly rested his back against the back of the sofa. “Okay, tell me.”Rolland smiled, excitement stirring within him. He eagerly corrected his sitting position. “Very well, Mr. General.”Rolland prepared his disks to tell what was on his mind. He knew that if the person in front of him was a strategist, he would have an idea of one's weaknesses and strengths. In fact, for someone who had once managed a large military force, Harvey must be very experienced in dealing w

Jordan looked up at the soldiers, their shoulders held high with confident steps that stomped the floor. Their chests puffed out, faint smiles gracing their faces as if the world was spinning for them. Jordan's breathing stopped for a moment, then his chest felt heavy. His vision blurred for a moment, and images of the past began to flash through his mind.He saw himself amidst the dust and smell of gunpowder, the same sound of arrogant laughter echoing in the air. His fingers gripped the edge of the table, trying to intimidate his senior.“You're so weak!” Jordan exclaimed after successfully slamming his senior in an arm wrestling match. He laughed loudly like a madman. Then he picked up the water bottle and downed it.With slow steps, he approached his senior who fell down beside the table. He was Bradly, the one who lost the arm wrestling match with Jordan after yelling at Jordan for calling Bradley weak.Bradley's friends approached with burning anger, wanting to get back at Jorda

"You must be pretending to help me!" Vanessa stared at Harvey with piercing eyes, her breath catching. Even though she had just seen him take out her kidnappers with ease, she still did not lower her guard.Slowly, she backed away. Her movements faltered, her body was unsteady-her injured leg forced her steps to falter. But that didn't stop her.Her hand was raised, her fingers tightly gripping the pepper spray. When Harvey steps closer, she raises it, ready to spray him in the face.Harvey halts his steps. Letting out a long breath. "I'm just trying to help."Vanessa clucked her tongue, her jaw hardening. "Bullshit," she hissed, her eyes narrowed with suspicion. "You're going to take me away soon, aren't you? You're going to kidnap me and do bad things to me."Her hands trembled slightly, but the spray remained firmly in her grasp. Harvey just stared at her silently. Harvey only slightly furrowed his brow, understanding the panic that surrounded the woman.When his hand moved slightl

Harvey got up instantly, his chair squeaking as it was pushed back. He caught a glimpse of something at the far end of the room, but more than that, his instincts kicked in. Another crash, louder this time-something had happened.Then, a woman's body was thrown into the air. Time seemed to slow down as Harvey moved quickly, his hand outstretched, catching the figure before her body hit the floor. The pounding on his arm was strong, but he managed to hold the woman's weight.For a moment, Harvey stared at her face. Her long black hair was in disarray, her thin lips were slightly parted in pain, and the red dress she was wearing looked rumpled from the fight that had just taken place. Vanessa Reid.Harvey's eyes widened. “This woman... What happened to her?” he wondered.In his arms, Vanessa winced, her hands pressing shakily against her stomach. Her breathing was labored, but as soon as her eyes opened and she realized where they were, her expression instantly changed.“Let go!” her vo

The sound of high heels clashing with the marble floor echoed along the hallway leading to the women's bathroom. Vanessa strides gracefully, her red dress swaying slightly with her movements.Once inside the bathroom, she walked to the sink and opened the faucet, letting the cold water flow between her fingers. Her slender fingers moved slowly, washing her hands as if to erase something that was bothering her.In front of the large, gold-framed mirror, Vanessa lifted her face. Her eyes traced her reflection-checking the makeup that had lasted all night. Has it faded? Was it still perfect?She moved a little closer, adjusting the position of her earrings, making sure their sparkle remained visible from any angle. Her fingers trailed through her hair that was neatly cut in a butterfly cut, tucking it behind her ear to make the jewelry more visible.However, her movements suddenly stopped. For a moment, she stared at her reflection in silence. The figure of the man from earlier came back

Allison stepped into the control room of the military base on the border of Kaelvarion. The air inside the room was noticeably cooler than outside, mixing with the hum of machinery and the clicks of keyboards being pressed by operators.She sighed softly before walking to a bench near the main console. Her movements were decisive, without any hesitation. Once seated, her hands deftly placed a communication device in her ears, a high-tech headset that clung tightly to the side of her head.A man in a neat military uniform soon approached her. The look on his face reflected both confusion and concern. “Ms. Allison, why are you here? You shouldn’t be-”His words were cut off instantly. Allison simply raised one index finger, a small but stressful gesture. Her sharp eyes glanced at the man expressionlessly, enough to make him gulp. Instantly, she took a step back, almost reflexively, as if the air around her suddenly became heavier.Ignoring him again, Allison directed her attention to th

In a practice field on the border of Kaelvarion, the sound of a loud crash echoed out, mixed with heavy breathing. Boston's large body hit the ground with a loud thud, before quickly getting back up. Sweat dripped from his forehead, running along his temples, while his chest rose and fell rapidly.In front of him, Alex stood slightly hunched over, his hands resting on his knees as if exhausted. However, his eyes still blazed with enthusiasm, his lips bearing a faint smirk."Boston," he said, his voice sounding like someone who had just found an interesting challenge. "You're really hard to beat." He took a deep breath, then patted his thighs as if trying to soothe tired muscles. "I've been cornered a few times... You're great!"Boston's eyes narrowed slightly, considering Alex's expression. There was something in the way the young man spoke - as if the fatigue he was showing was just a trick.In fact, Alex's body remained dry, not a drop of sweat soaking his skin. Unlike Boston, whose

The city sky of Duskvale glowed in the dim light, leaving only the silhouettes of buildings looming in the distance. From the window, Harvey stood still, his hands clasped together, his eyes gazing far into the horizon. His breathing is quiet, almost inaudible.When the door to the room opened, the sound of footsteps echoed on the shiny wooden floor. Jordan entered without hesitation, his body erect, his gaze sharp. Harvey turned his head slowly, the faint smile on his face vanishing as soon as he saw who was coming.There are no words. Only silence hangs between them like a reluctant night fog. Jordan stops right in front of Harvey, his back straight, his demeanor disciplined. His voice was calm, but there was firmness in it. "Mr. Harvey, they have carried out your orders."Harvey's eyes flashed faintly, but his expression remained unreadable."Stan has been taken to the military base," Jordan continued. "Starting today, he will be conscripted."For a moment, silence reigned in the r

The sound of breaking glass echoed loudly in Stan's study, followed by a string of curses that broke the silence of the night. His harsh words echoed like thunder, filling every corner of the now cluttered room.The servants standing guard outside could only look down, their hands shaking. They had witnessed their master's anger many times, but never with such fury. Not a single one dared to approach, let alone go inside."Bastard!"Stan swung his arm brutally, throwing a large vase of flowers at the door. It hit the hardwood before shattering into pieces on the floor, water and flower petals splattering, creating a mess that mirrored his thoughts.His breathing was heavy, his chest rising and falling wildly. His eyes were red, full of unstoppable rage.The items in the room had been repeatedly smashed, but his anger remained smoldering, boiling inside him like an unquenchable fire.He clenched his hands so tightly that his knuckles turned white. "Damn it! Explain to me, Dany!"His ey

Stan felt the heat radiate to his ears. His jaw hardened, his teeth grinding together until there was a faint sound of enamel scraping. His eyes widened, staring at Harvey as if he wanted to swallow him alive."Damn it! This guy is getting sassy!" he thought, hands clenched at his sides. His breathing began to get heavy, his chest rising and falling as a wave of anger boiled inside him. "I'm already groveling, and he's acting like he has all the power here?"Stan remained bent over, his body rigid as if there were invisible ropes holding him in that position. His jaw clenched tightly, and for a moment, his breath caught like a stone in his chest.He glanced to the side, looking for some support from Hillary and Gwen. Instead, both women looked at him with furrowed brows, their gazes demanding. Secretly, they were giving Stan the code to find a way out of this situation immediately."Shit! They want me to solve this problem myself?" Stan's eyes twitched. His throat felt dry. He knew fu

"We..." Hillary opened her mouth, but her voice caught in her throat. Her throat felt dry, as if the air around her had turned to dust that clogged her breath. She glanced at Stan and Gwen, hoping for support, but they looked away. Their gazes were blank, their faces slightly pale, as if they had just realized the fatal mistake they had made.In front of them, Erik Reinhart stood tall. His eyes were sharp, almost piercing, as if to expose their lies and arrogance. The silence that hung in the air was oppressive, making every second seem so long.Hillary wrung her fingers, trying to quell the anxiety that was starting to creep in. She knew that one wrong word could backfire. Erik Reinhart was not a random person. If he wanted, he could make Julius Claymore literally throw them out of this party. One more mistake, and they would be the talk of all Duskvale-not as the elite, but as an embarrassing joke. For the first time that night, Hillary realized that they had lost control of the sit
