“A kind young Mister gave it to me,”

the boy replied, hope rising in his chest.

“I'll buy it,”

the man declared instantly, already reaching for his wallet.

“Name your price.”

Upon hearing the man has agreed to buy the card the boy said immediately

“The Mister said to give you this,” the boy pulled out the carefully folded note, slightly crumpled from his protective grip.

Without wasting any more time the man collected the paper, his eyes widened as he read the precise conditions.

* Set up a trust fund of 10 million dollars for basic living expenses.

*Establish a separate education fund of 5 million dollars, specifically for both children through university.

I mean...” He gestured helplessly at Damien's understated appearance. “The legendary healer would surely have an entourage, or at least someone older with many servants..."The contrast between their expectations – of some distinguished elder surrounded by assistants and medical equipment – and the young m

    Upon hearing what his butler just said.Chairman Zachary watched in stunned silence as Damien fingers traced invisible meridian lines over his wife's body, each observation matching perfectly with that fateful confrontation five years ago. Details only he knew about.“The Thunder Spirit Strike...”he whispered to himself again, his earlier doubts about Damien's simple appearance started crumbling like sand. “He identified the problem without any background information, without even taking up to a minute...”His hands trembled as understanding dawned on him. The young man, whom he had initially doubted because of his plain clothes and quiet demeanor, had seen through years of medical mysteries in mere moments. What countless specialists with their expensive equipment and prestigious titles had failed to discover, the young doctor had diagnosed it with a single glance.“Forgive my earlier skepticism,” Chairman Zachary bowed deeply, genuine respect replacing his previous uncertaint

    “There's something you should understand, War Goddess Serenity,” Chairman Zachary's voice carried a new confidence, buoyed by his wife's miraculous recovery. “My wife's condition wasn't a simple illness.”At that moment Serenity perfectly arched eyebrows drew together. “What do you mean?”“Five years ago, a martial arts master from the Thunder Palace...” He paused, old fear mixing with fresh amazement.“He used the Thunder Spirit Strike technique to seal her meridians. That's what caused her blindness.”Upon hearing what Zachary just said, Serenity 's composed expression faltered. Even in the military extensive networks, the Thunder Palace's techniques were spoken of in whispers. Their martial arts were considered nearly mythical.“The young Doctor,”Chairman Zachary continued, his voice filled with wonder, “He identified it instantly. He saw what countless specialists missed – that this was no medical condition, but a martial arts seal.” His eyes gleamed with emotion. “And he un

    Upon hearing what Serenity just said.Damien stared at his phone, his brow furrowed in disbelief. He couldn't believe the level of narcissism Serenity had just displayed. It was as if she expected the world to revolve around her, and he found himself growing more and more irritated with each passing second.“Unbelievable,” Damien muttered, shaking his head. “How can someone be so full of themselves?”With a sigh of exasperation, Damien pressed the end call button, cutting off Serenity mid-sentence. Meanwhile, Serenity was left staring at her phone in shock, her eyes wide with disbelief.“Did he just... hang up on me?” she whispered, her voice trembling with angerimmediately She clenched her fists, her body shaking with rage. “How dare he?”she seethed, her eyes blazing with fury.“I am the War Goddess! No one hangs up on me!”However Just as serenity was about to redial Damien number and give him a piece of her mind, her communicator beeped with an incoming message. She snatche

    Upon hearing what Serenity just said, Damien’s eyes widened in disbelief as he listened to the shocking news. He shook his head vigorously, his brow furrowed in concentration. “That can't be right,” he muttered to himself, his voice tinged with confusion and doubt. “I diagnosed Serenity grandfather myself. The poison was incredibly rare and difficult to treat. Even I struggled to find the herbs needed for the cure.”At that moment he leaned back in his seat, stroking his chin thoughtfully. His eyes darted back and forth as he tried to make sense of the situation. Despite his initial skepticism, a glimmer of hope flickered in his chest. “In a world filled with endless possibilities, miracles were not entirely out of the question. it can happen.”immediately Damien sat up straight, a newfound sense of determination washing over him. He turned to the driver, his voice urgent and clear. “We must hurry,” he said, his eyes locked on the road ahead. “If there's even a chance that Ser

    At that moment the room went quiet immediately. His son clenched his jaw but said nothing. He slowly lowered his eyes and took a step back, biting back the words that had risen to his tongue. He had seen that look on his father’s face before — the look that said not another word. Pushing now would only make things worse.But deep down, he was unsettled about everything.If Serenity could walk in here and offer anything to buy the identity of that man… if they accepted and the news got out — would anyone ever trust them again? His thoughts raced. What about if any of them needed help from the miracle doctor? Would he even come here again?He looked at Serenity, standing tall and unreadable, her arms crossed, her gaze sharp but calm. She wasn’t bluffing. She meant every word. She had the power to reward them greatly — or walk away and never return.Sophia’s father swallowed hard. ‘She’s serious. If we help her… we’ll get favor. But at what cost?’However Sophia grandfather didn’t waver

    At that moment As Serenity turned, her boots clicking against the tiled floor, her words still echoed in the air: “I’ll offer him something he won’t be able to reject.”Immediately Sophia’s jaw clenched.She didn’t move at first—just stared after Serenity, her fingers slowly curling into a fist at her side. Heat rose to her chest. Not the kind that came from fear, but the kind that boiled under layers of held-back restraint. ‘How dare she come into their home and speak like that?’At that moment Sophia finally stepped forward, her voice sharp but composed. “So that’s why you came?” she asked, staring directly at Serenity’s back. “To threaten my family?”Serenity paused but didn’t turn.Sophia took one more step. “You know, I understand your reputation. You’re the war goddess. We’re not equals. Exchanging words with you alone feels like asking for a fight I didn’t even pick.”Then Serenity’s head tilted slightly, but she still didn’t face her.However Sophia’s voice dropped a little,

    Upon hearing what London just said, Sophia’s eyes narrowed slightly, her voice calm but firm. “Like I said before, London… I don’t have anything to think about.”She folded her arms. “You can go. Do whatever you want. It’s not my business anymore.”Still her tone didn’t crack. No fear, no guilt. Just finality.London stood frozen for a second. His lips pressed into a hard line as he scanned her from head to toe—slowly. His eyes held a mix of disbelief, anger, and bitter disappointment. But mostly, bruised pride, seeing Sophia rejecting him over and over again.Immediately his jaw clenched. “You really meant it…” he muttered under his breath, like he couldn’t believe it was actually happening.Then his voice rose.“So that’s it?” he barked. “You walk away from everything—just like that?”He scoffed bitterly and pointed toward her. “Because some fool from the gutter was lucky enough to save your grandfather, now you think he’s good enough for you?”However Sophia remained silent. Not ev

    At that moment London’s fists clenched at his sides. His breathing grew heavier, and his jaw locked. The smirk he had worn a moment ago had completely vanished, replaced by a tight-lipped scowl.He wanted to lash out, before he could say anything, Sophia stepped forward, past him, and walked to where her grandfather sat stiffly. Her voice dropped to a soft whisper, only meant for the old man’s ears. “Grandfather… I’m sorry I spoke like that in front of you. I didn’t mean to embarrass you.”The words were sincere, and the old man could hear it—but he said nothing.She didn’t wait for his response, With her back straight and eyes forward, Sophia walked out of the room.Immediately Silence followed her,until London snapped.His voice echoed through the room, sharp and venomous. “This is the girl you were defending? This is the same girl I thought you trained?”Immediately he turned on Sophia’s grandfather, pointing with disbelief. “You said you’d disown her if she walked out. Well, she

    At that moment the silence cracked like glass under a heavy foot. Everyone stared at Sophia.Immediately her grandfather blinked twice, trying to process what he thought he misheard. Her father’s jaw clenched. Even London, so full of himself a moment ago, faltered. His proud smirk twitched uncertainly.Then Sophia took a step forward. Her shoe echoed on the polished floor, each sound loud in the heavy silence.“You all thought I was going to beg him?” Her voice was steady, but there was something raw just beneath it. “Is that what you were waiting for? For me to kneel down and cry and say ‘I’m sorry, London’? After everything?”At that moment in time her grandfather’s eyes darkened even more. “Sophia, enough.”“No,” she said sharply, cutting through the tension. “No, Grandpa. You said I should apologize, for disrespecting him. But did anyone stop to ask what respect he gave me in the first place?”She turned to London. “Tell them, London. Tell them how you called me a disgrace. How y

    Everyone’s eyes turned to her. Sophia’s fists clenched at her side, her jaw tightening. But her grandfather didn’t pause.“We have kept quiet too much,” he said. “We have given you too much freedom. Too much leverage. And now, look what you're doing with it—misusing it!”At that moment he turned away for a second as if trying to calm himself, then looked back at her. “You think you can throw away everything we’ve built for some stranger? You better be mindful, Sophia. Mindful of the way you talk, of the way you behave. Because right now, I am already angry at you.”London, who had remained quiet for a while, finally stepped forward. His expression was cold, his shoulders squared as he spoke with calm pride.“I didn’t come here for Sophia to apologize,” he said, voice low and sharp. “I only came here to inform all of you that I am no longer interested.”But deep down, as he said those words, something tightened in his chest. He was hoping. Hoping she would stop him. Hoping she would br

    The moment London’s words settled in the room, tension wrapped itself around everyone like thick smoke. Now the air was suffocating.Sophia’s grandfather mother was the first to speak up, her voice trembling. “London, please… just calm down. Don’t do anything rash.”Sophia’s father stepped forward quickly. “She’s just being childish, okay? You know how stubborn she can be. But it hasn’t gotten to this, London. It really hasn’t.”Even her mother, who’d remained silent until now, nodded quickly. “She doesn’t mean what she’s saying… she’s upset, that’s all. You two have history, deep history from childhood. Please, don’t let this ruin everything.”But Sophia stood there, arms crossed, face calm and unwavering.“I meant every word I said,” she replied coolly. “And even if the Supreme King signs anything with them, that deal is still nothing compared to what Demian can actually bring to this family.”At that moment they all turned to look at her in disbelief, but she didn’t stop.“So all

    Her grandfather stepped forward, tone calm but firm. “London, you’re wrong. She just came in not long ago. Barely ten minutes before you arrived.”Her father nodded in agreement. “We were outside when a car drove her in. It can’t be a coincidence that you’re both arriving around the same time. Whatever is upsetting you—maybe you should calm down and talk to her.”But that only made London’s face twist in rage. “Coincidence?” he scoffed. “You think this is coincidence?”He took a deep breath, barely able to contain his shaking.“Fine. Let me tell you why I came here.”At that moment both men were silent.“I came to tell you that I’m done. I’m not going to have anything to do with Sophia again,” he declared.Immediately Their expressions shifted—confusion, disbelief.London continued, his words sharp, his voice edged with disgust. “Sophia went to go sleep with that village doctor. She spent the night with that village bastard—and for what? Just because he was able to heal Mr. Nathaniel,

The idea still lingered like poison in his chest.‘Should I just end him?’But the second that thought returned, so did the image of Serenity’s face if she ever found out. That girl who once looked at him with respect, with trust… she would kill him. Not with her hands, maybe—but with her eyes. With her silence. With her distance.And Elvis couldn't survive that.He pulled his hand away from the door, sighing through gritted teeth. “No,” he muttered, forcing the thought out of his head. “She’ll never forgive me. She’ll destroy me.”But then came another sting—the one that ate at him deeper.“Damien, that bastard. Always calm, always quiet, always acting like he didn’t want anything… and yet he was winning.
