“Huh, slowpoke!” Jordan snorted, his mocking voice slicing through the air. With lightning-fast movements, he grabbed the door, closed it with a single, almost slap-like blow, then held it shut with his sturdy body from the outside.

Michael grasped the doorknob with a grip as strong as a tiger's bite. Then he pulled with all his might while shouting as if he was unleashing some hidden power. The veins in his hands appeared like solid iron pipes.

However, the door did not budge no matter how hard it tried. The heat in his hand became a sharp pain radiating down his entire arm. Finally he gave up, letting go of the doorknob and letting his hand droop limply. His breathing was ragged like a fish on land.

He clucked his tongue. “Damn it! He locked it from the outside!”

Michael's face flushed like hot coals. His breathing was labored, as if his lungs were burning with rage. With a gesture full of emotion, he clenched his hand into a fist until the veins in his hand popped out. Then he forc

    Jordan raised the paper cup to his lips, sipping slowly at the bitter liquid. His tongue stirred the strong flavor of the coffee, while his eyes remained glued to Tony lying on the floor. A faint smile appeared on his face, but it didn't reach his eyes - his gaze remained cold.His face slowly changed. The corners of his lips dropped slightly, and his left eyebrow raised, creating an expression filled with sarcasm. “Hm? You still want to be quiet, huh?” his voice was low, almost a whisper that dragged attention.Jordan stepped closer, his feet scraping the floor casually, creating an unhurried rhythm. The tip of his boot touched Tony's side, nudging him gently. But the body remained still, no response.Jordan let out a long sigh, the air coming out of his mouth heavily, like a weight being released but not completely relieved. His eyes narrowed, losing their previous sharp intensity, like fading embers. “Passed out already,” he muttered, more to himself. “Too bad.”Jordan stepped away

    Michael felt something heavy and pressing around him, as if the air became denser as Jordan approached. There was something invisible-an aura that enveloped the man, squeezing Michael's breath until he unconsciously held it.Jordan stopped just a few steps in front of him, looking at him with calm but dominating eyes. A faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips, as if he enjoyed the discomfort on Michael's face.“You won't get away,” Michael's voice finally came out, slightly hoarse but filled with a tone of threat. He stepped forward, trying to show courage, though his steps were unsteady. “A second-class private like you has no place here! Your rank is below even ours!”Michael raised his chin, his voice now louder, trying to mask his fear. “I've contacted my friends. They'll come at any moment and arrest you! You're finished! You're done!”Michael's legs were wide apart, his body ducked low, and his fists were raised in front of his face ready to strike like a trained kickboxin

    Jordan grinned, the corners of his lips lifting slowly, while his eyes flashed an unpredictable gleam. The piece of wood slammed into the ground with a heavy sound that broke the silence. Hillard and the others froze, their bodies tense as if the air around turned to ice, holding them in place.Hillard inhaled sharply, his chest rising and falling in shock. His eyes darted to his friends' faces, searching for a glimmer of courage. However, they were all rigidly silent, like statues trapped in time.His esophagus felt like sand, forcing Hillard to swallow saliva that did nothing to dispel the dryness. But this was no time to be stunned. He clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white, the chill of sweat starting to seep through his palms. "Don't daydream! He's our enemy. Finish him now!"Hillard's friends snapped out of their shock, realizing that they had to act. Within seconds, they charged at Jordan together, their movements full of anger and panic. However, Jordan moved only

    Someone's fingers move quickly over the keyboard, the sound of rapid, rhythmic typing filling the small room. Occasionally, his right hand would move to the mouse, moving it deftly to select menus on the screen. In the midst of his busy work, Edmund adjusted his ear-mounted TDS, tightening it slightly. His face was so focused, his eyes glued to the row of names on the computer screen, his expression serious, as if he was watching a thriller in a movie theater, undisturbed by anything around him.From inside the TDS, a heavy, stern voice rang out, breaking the silence. “How is it, Edmund? Did you get the data?”Without taking his eyes off the screen, Edmund continued his task quietly. His fingers did not stop typing, but his voice remained clear and confident. “Just a moment... I'm sorting the data. However, everything else has already been taken care of.”The voice of the TDS sounded again, heavier this time, accompanied by a long sigh from the person on the other side. “Aren't you un

    “So this is your level of power?” Jordan fiddled with the penknife, as if it was his leisure game. With a slow motion Jordan bent at the waist with his other hand. “You move pretty well for an intruder.”Edmund furrowed his brow and stared intently at the man before him. His knife throw earlier had been fast enough to kill someone. However, this man in front of him was able to catch him easily. In fact, the uniform he was wearing clearly belonged to a Private Second Class.Slowly, Edmund stepped his left foot forward, setting up a ready position to make a move. Slowly his left hand clenched into a fist, as if ready to fang, while his right hand hid behind. “You can catch that. A Private should not be able to anticipate such speed. Who are you?”Jordan squinted slightly. He slowly scanned Edmund's movements. Since Edmund had asked such a question, he must have known that Jordan was not a Private Second Class. This person would be more cautious and would not hesitate to kill.Jordan exh

    Jordan, the man wearing the Private Second Class uniform was now in the room with Harvey. This place was a closed room located outside the military base. At the moment, no one knew where they were. In Jordan's hands was Edmund's handcuffed body. He dragged the body by pulling the collar behind his neck. Then he placed it in front of the seated Harvey. With slow movements, Harvey tilted his head while looking at the man calmly. His attention then shifted to Jordan, his eyes seemingly asking for a report of what he had done during his time at the military base. Jordan slowly nodded slowly. He stood firm with a confident gaze. “This man is from the country of Daso. I've found evidence that he messed up quite neatly,” his eyes slowly glanced at Edmund who was still closing his eyes. “They are sorting the people in the military base. People who have no competence are left inside the military base, while those who are talented and work hard are taken. Either voluntarily or by force.”

    “I can't believe I'm here again,” Harvey muttered, his voice almost swallowed up by the gentle wind. His sad eyes scanned every corner of the place, as if searching for something lost. His footsteps were slow, as if every trace he left behind carried a heavy burden of memories.The scene dragged him back in time, eight years ago, when his life changed drastically. Harvey remembers the first day he stepped into university, full of hopes and dreams like any other young man. However, fate had other plans. That event - an event he never wanted - forced him to leave college and replace books with weapons. He left for the battlefield. At that time, Harvey received many wounds on his body.Now, Harvey stands in this place, where time seems to have stopped. He had not come for no reason-there was someone hiding here, someone he had to meet in person. His steps are steady, but the shadows in his eyes are cautious. The conversation they were about to have was not only important, but crucial. Th

    Nathan frowned until his folds were clearly visible. He tilted his head, as if a big question mark had appeared above his head. “Why did you reject me like that?” his eyebrows began to knit together, Nathan's heart beating faster than ever. “This is the basketball team. Everyone wants to get into this club.”The other person came forward with a frown as well. He was a tall man with blond hair. “Becoming a college basketball player is a dream for all the guys on this campus. You lightly rejected it like that.You must be joking, right?”He turned to Nathan. The black man's face looked a little uncomfortable with Harvey's answer. Sighing, he let out a firm exhale.As the Captain of the basketball team for two years, Nathan knew a lot about talent. From his observations, Harvey had perfect precision in shooting the ball from a long distance. With his ability, making any number of 3-pointers would not be a problem. He should recruit someone like him to strengthen the college basketball tea

    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

    Stan, Hillary and Gwen were frozen in place. Their minds were spinning, trying to make sense of the reality that had just hit them mercilessly. Harvey. The man they'd been insulting and belittling. Not a beggar, not a loser, but someone who was able to donate 200 million dollars with a single touch on his phone screen.Gwen bit her lip, as if hoping this was all a misunderstanding. Hillary swallowed, her throat suddenly dry. Meanwhile, Stan, who was usually full of confidence, could only grin stiffly. Their foreheads furrowed, looking for a way out of this situation.Finally, Stan laughed softly-a forced laugh, more like a face-saving attempt. He glanced at Erik with hopeful eyes. “Forgive us, Mr. Erik,” he said, his voice softer than before. “We didn't really mean those things.”Hillary tried to smile, but her facial muscles tightened, making her expression look more like a stiff grin than a genuine smile. Her eyes glanced at Erik carefully, gauging his reaction. “Really, Mr. Erik Re
