Upon hearing what Serenity just said.

Elvis Immediately raised an eyebrow. “Alternative methods?”

Without wasting any more time She tilted her head slightly, her expression unreadable. “Their phones, their movements—everything can be monitored. If they’ve had contact with him, it will leave a trace and I'm going to get it.”

At that moment Elvis frowned, the hint of unease flickering in his eyes.

“You’d go that far?”

Serenity’s gaze remained fixed on him, unwavering. “This isn’t just about finding a healer,” she said firmly. “It’s about understanding who he is, what he’s capable of, and why he’s remained hidden. If I have to cross a few lines to get those answers or get him to treat me grandfather, then so be it.”

At that moment the car grew quiet again, the weight of her words settling over them. Elvis knew better than to argue. Serenity’s determination was unyielding, and once she set her sights on something, there was little anyone could do to stop her.

    The corridor leading to the main hall was filled with an air of anticipation, whispers following the commanding presence of Serenity as she walked with Dr Elvis, and her entourage. Heads turned, eyes filled with awe and respect, but no one dared to meet her gaze directly.Except Damien.He spotted her ahead, her figure unmistakable, flanked by two towering bodyguards. While others instinctively moved aside, bowing their heads or stepping back, Damien didn’t falter. He kept his stride steady, his expression calm, as though he were simply walking toward his next destination.Upon seeing Damien walking forward her direction Serenity sharp eyes caught sight of him, her brows lifting ever so slightly at his indifference.She knew only few men could maintain such composure in her presence, and she wasn’t accustomed to being treated so casually by Damien, after everything he has done she couldn't believe he still has the guts to show his face again.At that moment her lead bodyguard, a tow

    Seeing what was happening Serenity watched the scene unfold from a distance, her sharp gaze fixed on Damien. She crossed her arms, her posture exuding quiet confidence, but internally, her thoughts were anything but neutral.“Here we go again,”she mused, her lips pressing into a faint smirk.“Always in the middle of something, always scheming.”She had seen enough of Damien to form her own conclusions. To her, he was nothing more than a cunning opportunist, someone who knew how to manipulate people, and situations to his advantage. The way he had navigated the Ryan's family and collected the exclusive card in the process only fueled her belief that he thrived on clever deceptions.And now, with Mr. Leo standing before him, Serenity couldn't help but scoff inwardly. Without being told she could tell he was up to something again, and from the look of things Mr. Leo is falling into his tricks.At that moment She observed Mr. Leo’s cautious demeanor, the way he seemed to tread lightly a

    As the tense atmosphere lingered in the room even more, Dr.Elvis saw this as an opportunity to prove his worth towards serenity.Without wasting any more time he stepped forward, his calm demeanor and sharp eyes giving him an air of quiet authority. He glanced at Serenity, silently aligning himself with her stance, before addressing Sophia’s family directly.“I understand your hesitation,” Dr.Elvis began, his voice measured and deliberate. “You’re protecting someone who has done a great service for your family, and that’s commendable. But think about the opportunities you’re passing up.”Hearing what Dr.Elvis just said.Sophia’s father shifted uncomfortably, his hands clasped tightly in front of him. “Opportunities?” he asked cautiously, his voice betraying his unease.Immediately Elvis nodded. “If you reveal the identity of this mysterious healer, you wouldn’t just be helping Serenity achieve her goals—you’d also be securing a valuable ally for yourselves. With just one call, I w

    The room erupted in chaos as Sophia’s grandfather’s face turned ashen, his hand trembling on the head of his cane. “Michael!” he roared, his voice strained yet furious. “How dare you make such a decision on behalf of this family!”However Michael flinched but stood his ground. “Grandfather, I’m only trying to protect us—”“Protect us?” the old man spat, his voice rising. “You’re throwing away everything we stand for! Do you understand what you’re risking, you're a disgrace to this family?”Immediately he pointed at him.“I forbid you to say anymore words.”Seeing the deadly look on his grandfather's face and his words.He understands what it means.And he wouldn't want to cross the line.The strain in his voice echoed through the room, his fury palpable. Suddenly, he doubled over, clutching his chest, his face contorting in pain. At that moment a harsh, wet cough escaped his lips, and to everyone’s horror, flecks of blood stained his hand.“Grandfather!” Sophia said, rushing to

    Hearing Mr.Leo's wife's threatening words, Damien didn't say anything but continued walking closer to the boy.However Mr. Leo stood by the door, his arms crossed tightly as he watched Damien approach the bedside. Though his expression was calm, the tension in his shoulders betrayed the storm of doubt and desperation raging inside him.For some reason he was having a second thought, he wasn't sure if Damien could actually save his son. At that moment his gaze flickered to his wife, who sat silently by their son’s side, her eyes red from exhaustion and worry.‘I don’t know if this will work,’ Mr Leo said to himself, His jaw tightened with frustration, he knows full well what his wife would do to him if for some reason something happened to their son now. His voice was low, almost hesitant. ‘But we’ve tried everything else. We’ve seen some of the best doctor's, and none of them could even give us answers, it wouldn't be bad to try at least in this situation we have nothing to lose.

    At that moment Mr Leo stepped forward, placing a reassuring hand on his wife's shoulder. “Honey, I know you're worried, not just you, I'm worried too, we have tried to get the help of professionals but none of them seems to understand what was wrong. But Dr. Damien's situation is different, and we don’t have another choice,” he said softly, his own voice laced with exhaustion. “We’ve tried everything else. Let him try.”“But—” she began, her voice rising with desperation.“No,” Mr Leo said, cutting her off gently but firmly he couldn't bring him to say their son would still die regardless of the pill or not. “We have to trust him.”Upon hearing what her husband just said.Without being told she could tell his decision has been made.Her shoulders sagged, the fight draining out of her as she sank back into her chair. “If anything happens to my son…” she muttered, unable to finish the sentence.Mr Leo at that moment couldn't just fold his arms anymore, without taking action, he be

The usually quiet street was now teeming with tension. Black SUVs were parked haphazardly, their headlights cutting through the twilight, while armed guards formed a perimeter around the area. The faint hum of communication devices and the occasional barked orders filled the air.Seeing what is happening Damien slowed his steps, his sharp eyes scanning the scene.At that moment a guard stepped forward, raising a hand to halt him. “Sir, this area is under lockdown,” the guard said curtly. “For your safety, we ask that you turn back.”However Damien couldn't get his head around everything, knowing it was his house he couldn't just leave without not kn

    At that moment Damien’s gaze swept over the fugitive; he didn't notice the herb with him, and where he kept the herb was still safe. However the fugitive stance was steady, his grip strong. The man exuded danger, the kind that came from years of training and countless battles. This was the same fugitive Serenity and her team were outside preparing to confront—a man feared for his skill and brutality.However Damien remained unfazed.“That’s my property you’re standing in,” Damien said calmly, his voice like steel wrapped in silk. “Drop the knife, and I might let you leave alive.”Upon hearing what Damien just said.The fugitive sneered, tightening his hold on the child. “You’re in no position to make threats,” he spat. “I’ve taken down people ten times stronger than you. Don’t test me.”At that moment Damien’s eyes narrowed slightly. “I wasn’t asking.”The fugitive’s instincts screamed at him to act, first seeing Damien he could tell he's just a nobody Perhaps a rich kid with a big

    Seeing what just happened.“Master George!” Serenity cried, rushing to her grandfather’s side. “Please check him! Something’s wrong!”Master George, who had been frozen in place from everything that had just transpired, jolted back to awareness. He quickly moved over, his face pale with urgency as he knelt beside the old man.“Step aside,” he muttered, pulling out a small diagnostic kit from his bag as he began checking the old man’s pulse. His fingers pressed gently against the wrinkled skin at the wrist, then to the side of the neck. His brows furrowed.Serenity hovered beside them, wringing her hands anxiously. “Is he alright? Is he okay? What’s happening? Why did he collapse like that?!”Master George looked up after a moment and let out a slow breath. “He didn’t faint,” he said carefully. “His vitals are normal. He’s just… he’s just in shock, Serenity. The kind of emotional shock that drains the body completely. He needs to rest.”Serenity blinked in disbelief. “Shock?” she whis

    Upon hearing what Serenity grandfather just said, Damien nodded and immediately Serenity grandfather weak cheek raised almost covering his eyes.Serenity’s grandfather was still grinning, a youthful spark in his eyes, when he turned toward his granddaughter. “Serenity,” he said with pride, “is this is your husband? Your betrothed?”His voice echoed with warmth, but there was also command in it—the tone of a man used to being obeyed. “And tell me why is he standing like a guest? What kind of wife doesn’t offer her husband a seat? Do you know who he is?”At that moment Serenity’s breath caught. She didn’t dare lift her gaze toward Damien.Her grandfather chuckled softly. “Ah, you think because you’re a war goddess, everything must bow to your military shoes, eh? But when it comes to your husband, you’re still to be an house-wife. Show him some respect. Go on, do what’s needed.”Still Serenity stood frozen, cheeks burning. Her heart pounded. Not from embarrassment, but from guilt. Shame

    The room was still, the air thick with tension.Then all eyes were on Serenity’s grandfather as the black veins that once crawled like twisted roots across his skin began to fade. One by one, the dark spots on his chest and neck lost their color, retreating beneath the skin as though scared away by something stronger.However Damien didn’t flinch. His eyes flicked toward the wall clock—60 seconds.Without hesitation, he stepped forward and began removing the acupuncture needles. His movements were swift but precise, each needle sliding out with a near-silent whisk.Master George held his breath the entire time, his fists clenched. He was watching something he knew only existed in ancient medical scripts—techniques thought to be lost to time.As Damien collected the final needle, he reached for the bowl containing the king of herb mixture.“Open his mouth,” Damien said calmly.Serenity stepped forward without saying a word, her hands trembling slightly as she gently pried her grandfath

    At that moment Serenity stood frozen. Her chest tightened, and her fingers curled slightly at her sides. She blinked slowly, unsure if she had misheard Master George.‘Fifty million dollars’She turned toward Damien, her expression shifting from confusion to disbelief. She opened her mouth, as if to speak, but nothing came out. Her heart was thumping, not because of fear—but because the weight of everything she thought she knew about Damien had just crumbled.Damien, on the other hand, remained calm. His voice, low and steady, cut through the stunned silence.“Yes,” he said simply. “I bought it. For myself. But right now, I’m using some of it for him. He needs it more than I do.”There was no pride in his voice. No boast. Just calm truth. Master George’s eyes widened even further. He took a shaky step forward, still staring at the herb in Damien’s hand as if it were a living legend.“This…” he muttered. “This herb is priceless.”His voice trembled slightly as he continued, speaking m

    At that moment she shut her eyes tight, her fists clenching. “That’s not who I am, it was just mistake.”The more she sat there, the more her thoughts spiraled. Every second Damien stayed away added another layer of guilt she couldn’t shake off.“He probably left because of me,” she said quietly, standing up suddenly. “He would publicly not want to see me when he comes back.”Her gaze fell across the room—the glass she used earlier, the folded laundry still on the chair, and the space that for a moment, felt like home.But not anymore, Sophia grabbed her bag and slung it over her shoulder. She wouldn’t stay here, not when everything felt so heavy and awkward.Her decision was swift.She stepped out of the room, locked the door gently behind her, and walked out of Damien’s house.She was heading to the apartment she used to live in before everything changed—the one outside her family’s estate, tucked away on a quiet street where no one bothered her.Not long after she arrived and the

    At that moment the room fell into an eerie silence.Damien’s eyes widened slightly as he stared at Sophia’s lips just inches from his. Her breath lingered on his skin. She blinked rapidly, stunned, frozen. Both of them didn’t move, didn’t speak.Then suddenly, as if reality had just slammed into them, they both pulled back at the exact same moment.Immediately Sophia scrambled to her feet, avoiding his eyes. Her cheeks had turned bright red, and her hands were fidgeting with the hem of her top.However Damien stood up more slowly, brushing invisible dust off his shirt. He didn’t dare look at her. Not now. His mind was racing, trying to make sense of what just happened. The kiss wasn’t supposed to happen—especially not like that.At that moment Sophia opened her mouth slightly, maybe to say something, maybe just to break the silence—but nothing came out. She closed it again, exhaled softly, turned around, and walked quickly toward the guest room, her face still red, her pace stiff.Ho

    At that moment Damien leaned back into his car, his eyes shifted slightly, curious but calm. “You said you wanted to talk about something important?”Uncle Bernard exhaled slowly and nodded, gripping his key tighter than usual. “Yes... it’s about the War Goddess. Serenity.”Damien’s brows barely twitched, but he was listening now.“I’ve been thinking,” Uncle Bernard continued, choosing his words carefully. “Something occurred to me. Serenity... she actually needs your help. Her grandfather really sick. And I mean... serious sick.”He glanced at Damien briefly before focusing back.“I know you might not be interested, but... I think you should just do what’s needful,” he added quietly. “Heal the old man. You’re capable. And honestly, Serenity might be of great benefit to you in the future.”Damien didn’t say a word yet. The silence stretched.“I mean,” Bernard added with a nervous chuckle, “she’s not just any woman. She’s... she’s the war goddess. If you help her, she could open more

    At that moment Damien then walked closer to him, his steps slow and deliberate. The air in the room had shifted. Even the faintest breath felt heavy now. The man in handcuffs lifted his head to meet Damien’s eyes—those sharp, unflinching eyes that no longer held any room for patience.“I told you,” Damien said, each word laced with calm fury, “Like I told you… you’re done for.”His voice didn’t rise, but it cut deeper than any shout ever could.“For what you just did… and everything else—for trying to bring others down, for twisting everything to suit yourself—you’re going to go down.”At that moment the man’s mouth opened slightly, as if to argue. But no sound came. He had nothing left to say.His eyes widened as he watched Demian—not with fear alone, but with disbelief.He hadn’t imagined this would happen.He hadn’t thought Demian was capable of this.He hadn’t believed that someone he dismissed as nothing could rise with such quiet dominance and bring the entire room to its knees.

    Damien’s tone was still composed, but his words hit with precision like sharpened steel.his gaze sweeping the entire panel with contempt that couldn’t be missed.“You’ve kept quiet long enough,” he said, his voice low but firm. Then he pointed—straight at them.“All of you. You’ve destroyed innocent people long enough. And the worst part? You think you’re untouchable.”Some committee members shifted uneasily. One cleared his throat but said nothing.“You think the world revolves around you,” Damien continued. “You think you can twist laws, make up punishments that suit your egos—punish anyone you don’t like, simply because you can.”His words cut deeper than raised voices ever could.“And let’s talk about the so-called crime here. A product fell below standard. That happens. There are clear procedures for this kind of thing. You fine the company—between ten and fifty thousand dollars—standard penalty.”He paused deliberately, letting the weight of his words settle.“They’ve agreed to
