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

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.

    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

    Serenity tapped her fingers against the armrest, her eyes narrowing slightly. “He’s either the smartest man we’ve hunted or something far more dangerous than the intel suggests,” she said, her voice calm but heavy with thought.“But there’s something else bothering me.”“The civilian, the doctor you saved outside the mansion the other day and almost left you for dead, if not for Dr Elvis' quick intervention?” her assistant asked tentatively.Immediately Serenity nodded. “Why did the fugitive spare him? A man like that doesn’t leave witnesses. There’s more to this Damien than meets the eye.”Upon hearing what War Goddess Serenity just said.Her assistant hesitated, unsure of what to say. “Should we bring him in for questioning?”“No,” Serenity replied firmly. “Not yet. Let the team finish their search. If the fugitive left anything behind—or anyone—I want to know about it first.”As they pulled into the headquarters parking lot, Serenity’s sharp instincts told her that the day eve

    Not long after they arrived at Damien villa.Serenity stood at the gate of the villa, her sharp gaze scanning the luxurious property before her. The questions swirling in her mind had grown too loud to ignore. Despite her earlier dismissal of her assistant's theories, something about Damien didn't sit right with her again. She needed answers, and she was determined to get them herself.Not long after the door opened to reveal Damien, his expression cool and unreadable as he looked at her. “ Serenity,” he said evenly, stepping aside to let her in. “This is unexpected.”Serenity entered without hesitation, her posture as commanding as ever. “I had some questions for you,” she said, her tone clipped. “I thought it best to address them directly.”Damien gestured toward the sitting area, his movements calm and unhurried. “Make yourself comfortable,” he said casually, as though he were entertaining an old friend rather than one of the nation’s most decorated military figures.Serenity’s

    At that moment Serenity leaned back in her chair, crossing her arms as Damien’s calm and detached demeanor washed over her. His words hung in the air, unshaken, and for a brief moment, doubt began to creep into her mind. She stared at him, her gaze narrowing as she replayed memories of him in her head.She remembered their encounter with the thugs not too long ago. The way Damien had stood there, frozen, his expression painted with fear. He hadn’t lifted a finger to help her. In fact, he had looked entirely out of his element, like someone who didn’t belong in that kind of chaos. Someone who wouldn’t know the first thing about fighting or handling himself in a dangerous situation.Her thoughts lingered there for a few minutes, dissecting every moment, every detail. It didn’t make sense. She finally broke the silence, her voice calmer now but still edged with skepticism. “Looking at you now,” she began, her tone measured, “and thinking back to what I’ve seen before, you don’t seem li

    At that moment Serenity’s gaze bore into Damien, her voice steady but edged with accusation. “Before I passed out that night,” she began, her words measured, “I heard your voice. And I saw you standing there.” Hearing what Serenity just said. Damien’s expression remained unreadable, but she caught the faintest flicker of something in his eyes—perhaps recognition or acknowledgment, though he masked it quickly. He stayed silent, his composure unshaken, but Serenity pressed on. “And me partner,”she continued, her tone sharpening. “The man they sent here—strong, skilled, and trained as he was—even he struggled to land a finger on that fugitive. He fought hard, but that man was beyond him. I saw it with my own eyes.” Her voice wavered slightly at the memory, but she steadied herself, her determination burning through her words. However Damien tilted his head slightly, his lips curling into a faint, almost amused smile, as though her probing meant little to him. But inside, his th

    At that moment Damien watched Serenity’s face closely, observing the flicker of anger that briefly crossed her features before she quickly masked it. However Her restraint didn’t go unnoticed, and it made Damien curious. Without bring told he could tell she was upset, clearly, but she wouldn’t let it show—not yet.He leaned back in his chair, his lips curling into a faint smirk. “You know, Serenity,” he began, his tone casual but cutting, “I actually thought you invited me here to apologize. Silly me. I should’ve known better. You’ve always got some other motives, don’t you?”At that moment Serenity’s eyes narrowed, but her expression remained composed. Then she folded her arms and tilted her head slightly, as though considering his words.However Inside, her frustration burned, but she refused to let him see it. He’s testing me. She knows Damien was testing her, and he's trying to get under her skin.“That’s my work, Damien,” she replied coolly, her voice carrying an edge of de

    Upon getting home, Damien tossed his keys onto the kitchen counter as he walked into his home, his mind weighed down by the prospect of meeting Serenity. He had no desire to see her. In fact, he had actively avoided her, knowing full well that any interaction would lead to her inevitable criticisms and sly remarks.However Serenity’s words were like precision arrows, always finding their mark, and Damien wasn’t in the mood for another verbal sparring match with her.He leaned against the counter, his jaw tightening. ‘Why does she even want to see me?’ he thought bitterly. ‘This wasn’t just about catching up; she always had an agenda.’ And yet, despite his better judgment, Damien couldn’t completely ignore her request. Something about the way she had demanded his presence gnawed at him. He sighed heavily.Knowing he still want to ask her something.Maybe it’s better to just get this over with. Face her once, and then move on.When the time finally came, Damien drove to the restaurant

    Damien left the banquet with a satisfactory smile on his face as he walked towards his car. But his thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of his phone.He took it from his pocket, his brow furrowing as he saw Sophia's name on the display. With a puzzled expression he answered."Sophia?" Damien asked, the weariness in his voice obvious."Hello Damien," the voice on the other end of the line said, her tone polite and slightly nervous. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything. I can call back later if you're busy."Damien, though tired, forced a smile at the sound of her voice. "No, Sophia, it's fine. How have you been?" he inquired.Sophia's voice brightened noticeably. "I've been great, Damien. In fact, I have some wonderful news to share with you!" she exclaimed, her excitement infectious.Sophia's voice bubbled with excitement. "Damien, I have amazing news! After days of scouring every botanical source I could find and making few calls, I have finally found the two rare herbs you've

Bradley's voice cut through the tension like a thunderclap, his words carrying an authority that left no room for argument.“Take them away,” Bradley commanded, his tone devoid of emotion.Without without wasting anymore time his men immediately began to move, their footsteps echoing in the silent room as they approached the trembling family members.However Damien stepped forward, his gaze icy as he addressed the room. “Your betrayal isn’t just an insult to my family’s legacy—it’s a crime. And crimes come with consequences.”At that moment Megan and her mother, Jolene, exchanged panicked glances, their earlier arrogance completely shattered. At that moment Megan clutched her mother’s arm, her face pale and desperate.“ Damien, please,” she stammered, her voice breaking. “We’re sorry! It was a mistake!”Jolene, once so proud and overbearing, now knelt on the

    At that moment The tension in the room reached a boiling point as Damien stood unflinching against the taunts and threats hurled his way. His calm demeanor only seemed to heighten the unease that had begun to creep into the banquet hall. With one time call from Damien, the doors to the grand room burst open, and a group of bodyguards in sleek black suits filed in, their movements precise and intimidating.Immediately the air thickened as the suited men positioned themselves strategically around the room, cutting off any potential exits. The guests, once smug and condescending, now exchanged uneasy glances, their bravado replaced by a creeping sense of dread. Jefferson, however, attempted to maintain his composure. Rising from his seat, he barked, “Do you think you can intimidate me with hired thugs, Damien? You’re playing a dangerous game! I’ll have the law on you for this. You won’t get away with it!”Hearing what Jefferson just said.Damien didn't respond immediately. Instead, he

His posture was self-assured, his chin held high as he surveyed the scene.Immediately the murmurs around the hall subsided as all eyes turned to him.“I’m from the Nathaniel family,” the young man announced, his voice ringing with authority. “More importantly, I’m related to Sophia’s father. This is my family’s jurisdiction, and I can resolve this... unpleasant matter.”At that moment his words carried a weight that made many of the guests relax slightly, as though his presence was the solution they desperately needed. Immediately Jefferson smirked, nodding approvingly, as though the young man’s arrival would tip the scales back in their favor.“You see, you should have thought twice before barging in here, Damien,” the young man said smugly, taking a step closer to Damien.“But I’m

The ballroom was a sea of polished faces and hushed whispers, all centered around the long, gilded table at the room's heart. At the head of the table sat Jefferson, the head of the family in absence of Damien's father, a man whose commanding presence was matched only by the sharp gleam in his eyes as he addressed his gathered relatives.“To maintain our control over the family company,” Jefferson began, his voice carrying a weight of authority, “we must solidify our alliances and ensure no one dares to challenge us. This company is our legacy now, and I won’t let anyone disrupt that—not even him.”At that moment a murmur of agreement rippled through the room, the family members nodding in unison.
