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.

    “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

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!

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.

They were like cornered animals, ready to lash out with everything they had.He then glanced at Serenity, expecting to see her readying herself for another fight.

    Serenity eyelids fluttered open, her vision gradually coming into focus. She blinked a few times, trying to make sense of her surroundings. As her eyes adjusted to the light, she realized she was lying on the sofa in the villa, with Elvis and her assistant by her side.“What's going on?”Serenity asked, her voice hoarse and barely above a whisper.Elvis leaned in closer, with a relieved smile on his face.“You're awake,”he said softly. “How are you feeling?”Serenity furrowed her brow, trying to remember what had happened. “I'm not sure,”she admitted.“What happened to me?”At that moment her assistant stepped forward, her expression a mix of concern and relief.“We found you unconscious outside, and we brought you inside. Not long after Doctor Elvis came,”she explained.“He spent the last half an hour stabilizing your vital signs and bringing you back.”Upon hearing what her assistant just said, Serenity eyes widened as the memories came rushing back.

This is what you’re going with?” She turned to her mother, her voice dripping with mockery. “An actress. He went and hired someone to play along. Isn’t that stupid?”Her mother crossed her arms tightly, her face twisting with anger. “You have some nerve,” she spat, directing her fury at Sophia through the phone. “How dare you conspire with him in this charade? Do you think we’re fools?”However Sophia's calm voice broke through the storm of accusations. “I don’t know what this is about, but I assure you—”“Don’t bother,” Jessica interrupted, her tone icy. “No one here is falling for this pathetic little stunt. Honestly, Damien, this is low, even for you.”However Damien opened his mouth to respond, but Jessica's mother 's sharp voice cut him off. “Enough! Do you think lies will get you anywhere?

    At that moment, Jessica's mother, Deborah, could hardly keep her expression composed.the smile on her face faltered for just a second, but the fire that flickered in her eyes said everything her lips refused to say aloud.How dare Jessica act so defensive…Over that bastard Damien… of all people.Deborah sat there, holding her wine glass delicately, her fingers clenching the stem a little too tightly, what has gotten into her girl? she fumed inwardly.How can she sit here and embarrass her mother like this?A quiet war was waging behind her smile.Brandon was here, seated beside Jessica, wealthy, well-mannered, and dripping with influence.And here Jessica was, pushing him aside because of a man like Damien? a man without any traceable roots, a man who, if not for some recent stunts, would have been just another shadow in the crowd.At that moment Deborah glanced briefly at Brandon.

    At that moment, Jessica’s mother, Deborah, sat up straighter, her heart skipping a beat, She was extremely surprised hearing such direct words coming from Victoria's brother, Brandon.Then she blinked twice, as if trying to make sure she had heard him right.In her mind, a thousand thoughts began racing wildly.Victoria’s family…the family that could buy an entire district without blinking…the family where, just this year, Victoria’s father bought her a full-sized luxury yacht as a birthday gift — a yacht worth more than many family fortunes combined.And that was just for a birthday.It wasn’t even a wedding. It wasn’t even a grand occasion.It was just... because she turned a year older.At that moment Deborah almost couldn’t breathe at the thought.If Victoria's father could casually gift a yacht...Just imagine the kind of wealth Brandon would inherit.Just imagine the kind of life Jessica would have if she married into that family.Without being told, she knew very well the kind o

    However Just as Jessica and her mother were settling in, their food orders freshly placed and the gentle aroma of roasted spices filling the air, the soft murmur of the restaurant was broken by a familiar voice.“Excuse me,” the voice said smoothly, almost casually.“May I join the two of you?”Upon hearing what word Jessica blinked, surprised by the interruption, She lifted her head slowly, her fingers still resting lightly on the menu, her gaze landed on the man standing politely before their table.Her heart sank slightly when she saw, It was Victoria’s brother, Brandon.She hadn’t seen him in a while not properly, at least, and honestly, she hadn’t missed him, not after all the quiet rumors, the sneaky way he always managed to show up where she was, pretending to just "bump into her" by coincidence.But today, of all days?At that moment Jessica’s face remained neutral, though inwardly she was already tense.She didn’t say anything at first, unsure how to react without causing a

    At that moment he paused, breathing heavily.“And he didn’t get away with it.”The finality in his voice left no room for debate.“So why, why, Serenity, should I worry about him? Why should I shed even a single tear for someone who brought his own end upon himself?”Serenity bit down hard on her bottom lip, tasting blood again.Her shoulders trembled slightly as she fought the emotions threatening to explode inside her.“And you...”Her grandfather’s voice lowered, but somehow, it sounded even more terrifying now.“If you think this—this weak excuse you’re giving me—this rubbish about Winston—is what you’ll use to change my mind, then you are even more foolish than I thought.”The hallway stood eerily quiet once again, Serenity remained frozen on the spot, her heart hammering inside her chest, She stared blankly at the locked door, feeling the weight of her grandfather’s words sink deeper and deeper into her bones.Inside, her grandfather’s voice came again—heavy, raw, and filled wit

    Again the words slammed into Serenity like hammers, she stood there, her body trembling, her nails digging into her palms.She wanted to scream, She wanted to cry, She wanted to punch something.All the anger she had bottled up inside finally started spilling over.She bit her lower lip so hard it almost bled, just to stop herself from shouting back.Did he think she hadn't tried? Did he think she hadn't swallowed her pride and gone after Damien?She had, She did everything she could!But Damien—Damien was acting all high and mighty, like he was the center of the universe.Like he was untouchable.Serenity’s fists tightened even more, he treated her like she was nothing.As if she, Serenity, the War Goddess, someone feared and, respected across cities and top families, was below him!And what made it worse—Her grandfather didn't even ask how hard she tried, he didn't even care about the humiliation she suffered.All he cared about was Damien. Anger stung her eyes but she refused to

His voice was full of rage, but also heavy, like a man who had already lost the battle.At that moment her chest heaved up and down violently with bottled-up anger, It was unfair, completely unfair!.from the look of things, she could tell Winston father or the family had done someone to Damien, they should have killed that bastard by now.The more she thought about it, the more she felt like exploding.Without even realizing it, she hissed into the phone, her voice sharp, “How can you

    At that moment Brandon’s eyes gleamed with a dangerous light as he leaned against the wall, the phone pressed firmly against his ear.Again from the other side of the call, Victoria’s voice came through sharply, laced with venom.“Brandon, listen to me carefully,” she said, her tone low and serious. “Don’t you dare show him any mercy. Not even an ounce. No pity, no hesitation. Not even a second thought.”Brandon smirked, listening silently as she continued.“I don’t care if he begs,” Victoria hissed. “I don’t care if he tries to explain himself or pretends to be innocent or humble. Crush him. Crush him so hard he won’t even understand where the blow came from.”Brandon’s smirk widened into a full-blown grin, that was exactly what he wanted to hear.“Relax, Sister,” he said smoothly, his voice steady and cold. “I know what needs to be done. And this time… I’ll make sure it’s thorough. He won’t even have time to crawl away. This one—this one will bury him completely.”Victoria inhaled s

    At that moment, Victoria stepped farther away from the house, pressing the phone tightly against her ear, the cold breeze brushed against her face, but the fire boiling in her chest burned hotter.Then the phone rang once... twice...Finally, with a soft click, a deep, familiar voice answered from the other end.“Little sister,” the man’s voice drawled lazily, almost teasing. “How are you? Hope everything is alright over there.”The sound of his voice, calm and carefree, only made Victoria’s anger explode harder.Her grip tightened around the phone, her knuckles turning pale.“No, everything is not alright, Brandon!” she snapped sharply, her voice trembling with rage. “Everything is falling apart! That bastard Damien he actually got away with it! Do you hear me? He got away!”For a moment, there was silence on the line.Victoria’s breathing grew heavier as she continued, not giving her brother a chance to speak.“Now Jessica’s family… they’re praising him!

    At that moment Deborah took a step forward, confusion written all over her face. “What are you insinuating, Bernard? What are you even trying to say?” she asked, her voice tight with frustration.Uncle Bernard let out a soft sigh, like he was tired of trying to make them understand.“I'm saying,” he said, locking eyes with her calmly, “that everything Damien said inside this room the other day... he actually did it.”Deborah blinked rapidly, not sure she heard him right. Jessica, sitting silently on the edge of the couch, clenched her hands together tightly.Then Uncle Bernard leaned back in his chair, his voice firm. “When we got there, instead of us being punished like you all feared, it was the committee members themselves who got punished.”Upon hearing what Bernard just said, Deborah gasped. Victoria looked even more stunned.“They were punished for trying to frame us, for abusing their authority,” Uncle Bernard continued, his tone carrying a mixture of disbelief and admiration
