"You!" the manager shouted in fear. "Not only is your family a bunch of thieves, but you also dare to attack us? The police will be here soon to arrest you!" he threatened.
But Damien ignored the threat. Instead, he grabbed the terrified manager and forced him to kneel before him. "Thief?" Damien glanced at the diamond necklace lying on the table. "That necklace was a gift from me! Why are you accusing my mother-in-law of stealing it?"
Hearing this, the mayor's wife, who was also in the room, scoffed. "Wow... a poor man with a big mouth! Do you even know how much this necklace costs?" she sneered. "Like hell you could afford something like this!"
Damien wasn’t fazed by her

But his concern quickly turned into shock and anger when he saw Eleanor’s swollen face and the red mark on her cheek.“What happened?” George asked, his voice shaking. His eyes darted toward Damien with suspicion. “Why are you three coming home together? What happened to your mother-in-law? Did you cause trouble for her?”Damien lowered his head. “Dad, I’m sorry,” he said nervously.Celeste was still busy helping her mother, who looked weak.

Lately, Celeste rarely had breakfast at home. Ever since the Novatek project was approved, her workload had skyrocketed. She was now in charge of overseeing the construction of Novatek's new office, which was completely separate from the Stratton building, as per the agreement between Xoldex and Novatek. But for some reason, there were always obstacles during construction.The construction site was located on the outskirts of the city. Celeste wanted an environmentally friendly office that blended with nature, while still incorporating cutting-edge technology at its core."Let me drive you there," Damien said, handing Celeste a packed lunch.Celeste took it but refused the ride. Damien was worried about what happened yesterday repeating itself—when two guys on motorcycles attacked the taxi Celeste was in."No need. I'll take a taxi.

"Some people claiming to be local residents are blocking our heavy vehicles from passing through. Unfortunately, there's only one access road, and all our construction trucks and equipment are stuck on the main road. If we force our way in, they’re threatening to destroy our project."Celeste narrowed her eyes, her jaw tightening. "Can’t you negotiate with them? What the hell is PR and HR even doing?""We tried negotiating, even offering compensation, but they have another demand," Billy said, sounding frustrated."And what’s that?" Celeste pressed."They’ll only let our trucks through if we buy building materials from them. The problem is, they’re trying to monopolize the supply. The prices they’re offering are insane.""How much are they charging?""Five times the normal price, ma’am," Rin added. "My team already checked, and the materials are completely unusable. We tested the durability of the bricks, checked the cement moisture levels,
The Supreme Power Behind a Wheelchair Chapter 31: Those Dumb Thugs
Tension filled the road leading to the construction site. A bunch of thugs, rough-looking guys carrying wooden sticks and metal rods, were lounging around a makeshift tent on the roadside. They were hired muscle, guys who had no problem using force to get what they wanted."Hey, you! Where do you think you're going?" one of them barked at a truck driver approaching the barricade. A big guy with tattoos covering his arms stepped forward, gripping a baseball bat in one hand.The truck driver looked nervous, his hands trembling on the steering wheel. "I-I'm just making a delivery, sir.""Cut the crap! Open the cargo now!" the thug snapped, his eyes glaring menacingly.The driver swallowed hard, trying to keep his cool. "Sorry, but I have to deliver this to the construction site.""Oh? You think you can just ignore us?!" The tattooed guy swung his bat hard against the truck door. "BANG!" The door dented from the impact, making the driver flinch in fear

Once everything was running smoothly, they headed back to the office.Still, curiosity lingered in the air."How did those thugs just disappear like that because of one bulldozer driver?""Right? Before this, every truck driver who tried to break through their blockade ended up in the hospital after getting beaten up. The company even had to cover their medical bills."The staff couldn’t stop talking about it.Celeste was deep in thought. They were right. What made this time different?When they arrived at the construction site, they saw something unexpected. A luxury car—one they had never seen before—was parked in front of their temporary office. A sleek black Bugatti. It looked like a custom-built model, one that wasn’t even on the market. One of the staff members was tempted to touch

After parking the car in the garage, Damien slowly opened the door. He reached for the wheelchair beside him and, with practiced ease, shifted from the car seat to his chair. Calmly, he pushed himself forward, approaching his in-laws, who were already waiting on the porch. George and Eleanor exchanged glances without saying a word. But Damien knew exactly what they were thinking. He smirked slightly, satisfied."You guys okay?" Celeste asked worriedly, her eyes darting between her mom and dad. "Did the neighbors bother you again?"Eleanor let out a soft scoff before turning away. "I’ve gotten used to their comments, especially since he—Damien—joined this family." Her tone was cold, making no effort to hide her dislike for Damien.Celeste felt torn. She wanted to defend her husband, but she also understood her mother’s feelings. From the start, her marriage to Damien had stirred up controversy in their neighborhood."So, whose car is it this time?" Eleanor
The Supreme Power Behind a Wheelchair Chapter 35: Handle It Calmly
Jack sat there, looking grim beside Adrian. His head was pounding—not from alcohol, but from figuring out how to break the news to Adrian Stratton.A bunch of his men were laid up in the hospital with serious injuries. Their medical bills weren’t cheap, and that pissed him off. But what pissed him off even more was the fact that all of this was caused by one person.Just one.At first, Jack thought they were dealing with the usual obstacles—maybe some stubborn workers refusing to shut down their project or a rival mafia crew trying to make a move. But no. This guy showed up like a damn storm, wrecking everything in his path and leaving his men completely defenseless.And now, he had to report all of this to Adrian.The room went dead silent.

The closed meeting room was dimly lit by a chandelier, casting long shadows across the walls. The air was thick with tension, making the atmosphere even more suffocating. Adam Saxon stared at Damien in utter disbelief."You... Why did you hide it all this time? You can walk!" Adam's voice caught in his throat, his eyes widening as he watched Damien stand tall before him.Damien looked even more dangerous than the last time they'd met in the military. His muscles were tense, his jaw clenched, and his gaze was so sharp it felt like it could cut through anyone who dared to meet it for too long. Adam couldn’t believe what he was seeing. All this time, he thought Damien was crippled. Turns out, it was all an act.Damien didn’t waste time. In one swift move, he grabbed Adam and slammed him onto the conference table. Adam barely had time to react before his arms were twisted behind his back and his face was pressed so hard against the wooden surface it felt like his skull might crack."Argh!
Chapter 56: Four Generals Want Me Dead
The Stratton Enterprises office was filled with a suffocating silence. Some employees held their breath, while others moved nervously, trying to distance themselves from the brewing tension. Adam Saxon glared at Adrian Stratton with pure contempt.Adrian, still staggering from Damien’s earlier slap, rubbed his throbbing cheek. His gaze was empty, as if he had accepted his fate as a weak man who could only stand there without fighting back. Seeing that, Adam felt even more disgusted."Pathetic," Adam muttered, barely caring whether Adrian heard him or not.But his focus quickly shifted to Damien—the man who should've been dead years ago. Yet here he was, alive and breathing, and strong enough to land a brutal slap on Adrian. The fact that Damien was still around made Adam burn with frustration.He hadn't come here just to confirm that the War God was still alive. He had a mission. A mission to make sure Damien never spoke about the past. The four generals who had paid him to betray Dam
Chapter 55: Only a Punch Can Wake Him Up
"You don't have to—"Before Damien could finish his sentence, a loud voice cut him off.“No need to bother, ‘cause I came to see you myself!”Chaos erupted instantly. Some of the female staff screamed in fear as a group of big men in black suits barged in. Their steps were firm, exuding pure intimidation. Their sharp eyes scanned the room, ready to crush anyone who dared to stand in their way.In the middle of the group stood a man with an air of confidence—Adam Saxon. And right beside him was Adrian Stratton.Celeste clenched her jaw, trying to keep her emotions in check. This was the first time she saw Adam Saxon in person—the man whose name echoed in the international business world, the man who suddenly appeared to destroy her company.

Chapter 54: The Loyal Ones Will Stay
Adam Saxon stood up from his couch, fists clenched. His eyes burned with rage as he glared at the two men in front of him. Alex and Dion—his best mercenaries—stood tall, fearless, and ready to walk away from him. Their expressions were firm, unwavering."What did you just say?" Adam growled, his voice echoing through the room. "You think you can just decide that? I won’t let you walk out that easily!"Alex met Adam’s glare with a sharp look of his own. "We came here to work, not to be your slaves. And we know who you really are. You’re a traitor. Five years ago, you betrayed your squad and led them to their deaths."Adam’s blood boiled. The veins in his neck bulged. "Is that the nonsense Damien's been feeding you?" he roared, his voice thick with fury.Dion smirked. "We didn’t need Damien to tell us the truth. We saw it ourselves, Adam—or should I call you Vincent? We just needed time to confirm everything. And now, we won’t fight under your command anymore."Adam’s anger flared even
Chapter 53: We Won’t Be Fooled
Right in front of them, a guy was casually leaning against the hood of his black Bugatti, taking a slow drag from his cigarette. His gaze was cold, unreadable.Damien Harlow.Just hearing that name was enough to send chills down their spines. The God of War. The man who once led countless battles and trained legendary soldiers. A man rumored to have died in his final battle. Yet here he was, standing before them, alive—more terrifying than the myths about him.Damien exhaled a cloud of smoke and looked at them for a moment before speaking. "I'll give you just one chance to explain," he said, his voice calm but sharp enough to cut through the air.One of the men, the older-looking one, swallowed hard before speaking with a shaky voice. "The last war changed everything… The special forces were disbanded in disgrace. We lost everything—even our livelihoods. We needed money to survive, to support our families. Then someone came along and offered us a job."Damien didn’t react. He just kep

The sky above the temple started turning red as the sun slowly set on the horizon. Damien stepped out of the temple, his face cold and unreadable. His eyes held back a restrained fury after receiving a phone call from one of his men at Stratton Corporation. What he heard made his blood boil."They just won’t stop messing with my wife. And now they’re resorting to dirty tricks?" Damien muttered as he started his car.With one hand already on the wheel, he gave a simple order to his special forces team. "Be ready anytime I need you. We might have to move tonight," he said firmly before leaving the temple grounds.His sleek black sports car roared as it sped down the road toward the city. He needed to see Celeste and figure out what the hell was going on at the company. But the moment he hit the city streets, his instincts screamed at him—something was off.A black car had been tailing him for a while, way too precise to be just a coinciden

Damien drove through the quiet streets, rain drizzling on the windshield, creating a rhythmic sound that did little to calm his storming thoughts. After his secret meeting with Lawrence, he knew he couldn’t go home just yet. There was something else that needed to be handled first.He turned his car toward a secluded area outside the city. This wasn’t just any visit. He was on his way to meet them—the special forces that General Callum had prepared for him.His mind drifted to his last meeting with the general. Back then, they were in a classified military facility, a place where experiments were conducted to restore Damien’s lost abilities. General Callum was a cold-blooded military doctor, someone who never hesitated to make tough decisions.But that facility had been discovered by the enemy. The last time Damien saw it, the place had been surrounded and destroyed by elite government troops. He had no idea whether the general managed to
Chapter 50: My Goal is to Kill Damien Harlow
By the time Celeste arrived at the office, everything was already in chaos. Several staff members were gathered in the conference room, looking panicked, while the legal team was busy calling partner companies—both upstream and downstream—trying to figure out why they were suddenly cutting ties.If this continued, the newly established Stratton Enterprises, which had only been running for two days, would collapse again, and George Stratton's credibility as a leader would take another hit. Failing twice in a row? That would be humiliating.Celeste and George rushed into the room. Thomas, the head of the legal department, immediately approached them, his face grim.“We’ve tried convincing them to reconsider the contract termination,” Thomas said in frustration, handing a tablet to George. “But they refuse to cooperate with us. They also made it clear they won’t support us in the future. All the penalties for breaching the
Chapter 49: The Calm Before the Storm
It was a quiet afternoon. George and Celeste were at work, while Eleanor had gone out to meet her friends—other wives of wealthy businessmen in town. The house was almost completely silent, except for the ticking of the clock in Damien and Celeste’s bedroom.Damien sat on the edge of his bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. Ever since Celeste asked for a divorce, they had been sleeping in separate beds, even though they still shared the same room.His eyes drifted to the small bedside table next to Celeste’s bed. The drawer was slightly open, tempting him to take a peek inside. Initially, he only wanted to tidy up the room, but his hand froze when he found something unexpected—a divorce document hidden inside.His heartbeat quickened. His fingers traced over the paper, following the names printed on it. Celeste was serious about this. If she insisted on leaving, Damien knew she would be in danger. She was an easy target for the vultures l
