The Supreme Power Behind a Wheelchair 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
The Supreme Power Behind a Wheelchair Chapter 57: Give Them a Souvenir
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!
The Supreme Power Behind a Wheelchair Chapter 58: Whining Like a Baby
Celeste waited, her body shaking. The meeting room at the end of the hallway felt like a bottomless pit that could swallow everything whole. Damien had taken Adam Saxon in there, and ever since, time seemed to crawl. No sounds, no signs. Just suffocating silence.Her eyes were locked on the tightly shut door. Her hands were clenched into fists, trying to hold back the storm of anxiety in her chest. Nobody knew what kind of deal was going on in there. Could Damien really help them out of this mess?Footsteps echoed down the hall. Celeste turned and saw her father, George, walking toward her, looking just as worried. He’d locked himself in his office all morning, calling old connections, begging anyone who might still care. But it was all useless. No one wanted to help. Twice he nearly went bankrupt, and both times he was betrayed by the people he once called friends.But that wasn’t what George came to tell her. There was something more important.“Celeste,” his voice was heavy. “I nee
The Supreme Power Behind a Wheelchair Chapter 59: Grandma’s Tough Request
Eleanor had just finished working out when her phone buzzed on the kitchen table. She wiped the sweat off her temple, took a sip of water, and glanced at the screen. A message had come in—from Margareth Stratton, her mother-in-law.Her heart sank. Margareth never contacted her unless it was urgent. Honestly, they were never close. Eleanor knew very well Margareth never liked her. As George’s second wife, she was always the outsider in the Stratton family. But this message was clear: Margareth wanted to meet.Without overthinking it, Eleanor jumped into the shower and got ready. She even made a quick stop at a specialty store to buy Margareth’s favorite herbal drink—hoping it might soften her mood a bit. Still, nerves kept bubbling up the whole drive to the fancy restaurant where they were meeting.“Why does she suddenly want to meet? Did we mess up again in her eyes?” Eleanor nervously picked at her nails, a habit when she was anxious.Margareth was already waiting in a private room a
The Supreme Power Behind a Wheelchair Chapter 60: Time to Divorce, Isn’t It?
After Margareth met Eleanor, she was surprised to see Adrian waiting excitedly at home. He looked at his grandma with hopeful eyes.“Did you agree to help? Have you asked Celeste to divorce Damien, Grandma?” he asked anxiously.Margareth paused, stunned by his question. “Why are you so shameless? Why should I be the one to fix your mess? Huh, you foolish boy! You’re the one who picked Damien for Celeste to marry, weren’t you?” Her tone held disbelief—maybe even a bit of anger.Adrian sighed, clearly regretting his past decision. “I did pick him, Grandma. But only because I thought he was a poor nobody with no background—and crippled too! I didn’t want Celeste to have the power to compete with me in building the company. I wanted to make sure she’d never be able to inherit Stratton Enterprises.”Margareth shook her head, annoyed by her grandson’s short-sightedness. “So why do you want them divorced now?”Adrian rubbed his face, frustrated. “Damien’s not who we thought he was. I don’t k
The Supreme Power Behind a Wheelchair Chapter 61: A Dinner Gone Wrong
[You can’t judge someone just by what they show on the outside. Tonight, masks will fall, one by one.]As the main course was served, the room filled with chatter. But each word carried a subtle sting.“I heard you started a new company with your dad, Celeste?” Uncle Theo asked casually.Celeste smiled politely. “Yes, Damien and I are working on it with my father.”“Impressive. Damien seems pretty influential now, huh? Funny, last time we had dinner...”“Just a poor, useless son-in-law. Remember his parting words that night? So ridiculous!” one of Celeste’s aunts chimed in. “He said he’d stand by Celeste no matter what. Wow... guess what? He actually did, in less than a year!”Damien cut in smoothly, “I’ll take that as a compliment. I just support whatever Celeste decides. She’s the one in charge.”The room stiffened. Jealous looks were thrown their way. Then one of Celeste’s cousins muttered, “Still can’t even stand on his own though. What’s all that money for? No one knows where it
The Supreme Power Behind a Wheelchair Chapter 62: Let Me Shatter to Pieces
But George and Eleanor went silent. Bitter. Damien didn’t react. He just lowered his head. Accepting.“Because I honestly thought he was cheating on me,” Celeste continued, her voice shaky. “And using my money to party with some other woman.”A few distant cousins held their breath. Damien still said nothing. A faint crease formed on his forehead.“But…” Celeste turned to her husband, her eyes glossy, “he asked for time. Time to prove the accusations were false.”“With instant wealth?” Adrian cut in for the first time that night. “Doesn’t that just prove he’s hiding something way bigger?”Margareth slammed her hand on the table. “If his wealth is legal, then why the hell did he drain all your savings in the beginning, Celeste?!”Celeste didn’t answer her grandma. She just looked at Damien again. She didn’t know either—he’d never told her. Not until now.“This is your chance, Damien. My decision depends entirely on your honesty. What exactly have you been doing for the past three years
The Supreme Power Behind a Wheelchair Chapter 63: That Letter Reeked of Fear
Damien pulled the crumpled paper from the car window and tossed it in the trash like it was something filthy. The rushed, slanted handwriting was nothing new. More threats. Accusations. Provocative nonsense trying to rile him up.This time, he just ignored it.“Child’s play,” he muttered, starting the car and driving off calmly.To Damien, only cowards hid behind anonymous letters. If someone had a problem with him, they should come straight to his face, look him in the eyes, and say it out loud. Not this crap.Celeste didn’t say a word the entire ride back from the Stratton villa. Her hands clutched her little purse tightly in her lap. She stared blankly out the window, never once looking at Damien, who drove in complete silence.Of course, she was still in shock.Damien—her husband—who had been in a wheelchair for nearly four years, now stood tall. Strong. Solid. Like a soldier back from battle. No… stronger, more alive. Celeste felt like she was sitting next to a stranger wearing h

Chapter 64: The Silver Necklace of Wild Dogs
"Damien Harlow, come out!"Damien was already outside, just to find a bunch of sharply dressed men standing in the courtyard. Their faces were cold, dangerous. Around them, the inn's guards—his own men—were lying beaten and bloody on the ground.But what really caught his attention was the silver necklace hanging from each of those intruders’ necks. It was their identifier—a symbol of the Valasta mafia. The same notorious group that had its dirty hands all over the underground world, even the entertainment industry.The name Adam Saxon immediately popped into Damien’s mind. He smirked in disgust."Who the hell are you guys, making a scene this early in the morning?" he asked, tone calm but sharp. He already knew nobody good came knocking this early without a reason.“You cocky bastard,” one of them snapped. “Don’t you know who I am?” The guy said his name like he was announcing a goddamn king. “David Cross, the top dog of the whole entertainment biz in Valasta.”Damien gave a cold smi
