Damien gripped the steering wheel, his eyes focused on the road ahead as the low hum of the engine filled the car.

Although he has declined all that the manager throws at him, he didn't want a party or photoshoot with the car, all that doesn't matter to him.

The newly purchased vehicle felt smooth, powerful—fitting for the goals he had quietly set for himself. Yet, there was no excitement on his face, no satisfaction from the luxury now in his possession. For him, it was just a tool, nothing more.

At that moment his phone buzzed on the passenger seat, pulling him out of his thoughts. He glanced at the caller ID and sighed. It was Jessica. Without much enthusiasm, he picked up.

“What is it?” Damien ’s voice was calm, almost detached.

“Well, hello to you too,” Jessica replied, her tone dripping with sarcasm.

One of the senior legion doctors, a grizzled man with decades of experience, approached with a nod of respect.“I’ve seen many talented physicians in my career,” the doctor began, his tone earnest, “but your ability to integrate different disciplines is remarkable. You’ve given this soldier a chance we never thought possible.”Hearing what the head legion doctor just said.Elvis straightened, a faint flush of pri

    Not long after Elvis left the legion, Serenity allowed herself a brief moment of reflection, her usually sharp demeanor softening as she processed the conversation. The news about George provided a glimmer of hope, but the weight of her grandfather’s condition still lingered heavily, and she knows the Sooner she gets information of how to solve the problem, or resolve the issue the better for her. However, before she could dwell further, her assistant entered the room with a serious expression, clutching a sealed folder marked “Top Priority.”“War Goddess” the assistant said, her voice steady but grave. “We’ve just received classified intelligence from headquarters. You need to see this immediately.”Upon hearing what her assistant just said Serenity straightened, her focus snapping back to the present.

    That evening, Damien sat in his villa, reviewing plans for his next steps when his phone buzzed. It was Jessica. Her tone was sharp and dismissive, as usual. “Go to the club we agreed on,” she said curtly. “And don’t be late. My father already made arrangements.”Damien’s eyes narrowed as he listened. He didn’t trust Jessica, but her father’s involvement often complicated matters. Without responding, he ended the call, noting her impatience but deciding he’d deal with it on his own terms.Meanwhile, at the club, Jessica arrived early, her demeanor a mix of irritation and unease. The staff quickly escorted her into a private, opulent room, where Winston was waiting. His sly smile didn’t ease her nerves. “Right this way,” he said, gesturing toward the center of the room.Inside, a young man lounged comfortably, flanked by several women vying for his attention. Sam exuded an air of arrogance and authority, his tailored suit and the subtle but commanding glint in his eyes marking him as

Once she was settled, he got into the driver's seat, started the engine, and began the drive to her home. The dim glow of the street lights flickered across their faces, highlighting Jessica's lingering unease.For the first few minutes, neither of them spoke. Damien kept his eyes on the road, his grip on the steering wheel firm but composed. However Jessica sat rigidly, her hands gripping the edges of the jacket as if it were her only shield.

    Winston stood in the opulent private room of a high-end club, his head slightly bowed, his usually arrogant demeanor replaced by a rare air of submission. Across from him sat Sam's father, a burly, stern-faced man with a powerful presence that could silence a room with a glance. His thick arms rested on the armrests of the leather chair, his fingers tapping in an unhurried rhythm as he listened to Winston's explanation.“ Sir I deeply regret what happened to Sam,” Winston said, his tone carefully measured. “It was a grave oversight on my part, and I take full responsibility. But I must emphasize, sir, that this entire situation was caused by one man—Damien.”At that moment the tapping of Sam's father’s fingers paused, and his piercing gaze locked onto Winston. “Damien, you say? And you’re telling me that Damien had the audacity to harm my son?”“Yes,” Winston replied quickly, seizing the moment to redirect blame. “ He knew full well Sam was your son, I told him but he acted with no

Jessica’s trembling voice crackled through the speaker, her words choked with fear. “Damien… they’ve taken me. Please… help.” She sounded panicked, and while Damien didn't harbor any fondness for Jessica, he recognized the weight her father’s influence carried and the complications that could arise if he ignored her plight.Damiens jaw tightened as the call ended before he could even say something.
