With a growing tension in the scene.

Not long after the sound of hurried footsteps caught his attention. Turning slightly, he saw the dealership manager approaching, his expression a mix of urgency and deference.

The manager, a well-dressed man in his late forties, exuded professionalism, but there was an unmistakable nervousness in his stride.

“Mr. Damien,” the manager called, his tone respectful as he reached where Damien was seated.

At that moment Damien raised his head to meet his gaze.

“Yes?”

At that moment the manager offered a polite smile, his hands clasped in front of him.

“I apologize for interrupting, but we have a matter to discuss regarding your purchase.”

Upon hearing what the manager just said.

Megan, who had been watching from a distance, with a look of disappointment in her eyes, seeing David couldn't do anything early, narrowed her eyes in suspicion.

She had expected Damien to be humiliated and kicked out, not be approached by the highest-ranking employee in th

    Seeing everything that was happening David stood rooted to the spot, his arms crossed as he replayed the scene in his mind. He had expected to confront Damien, embarrass him, maybe even get him thrown out of the dealership. Instead, he had witnessed the manager's unprecedented deference and the smooth transaction for a car that was far beyond the reach of most people. Something didn’t add up.Everything looks so confusing, without being told he could tell Damien was hiding something.Slowly he walked closer to Megan, and pulled out his phone and dialed Jessica's number. She picked up almost immediately, her voice sharp and impatient.“What is it, David? I’m busy.”“You’re not going to believe this,” David said, still trying to process what he’d seen. “I just saw Damien at the dealership. He bought one of the most expensive cars there—and got this—the manager treated him like royalty.”Upon hearing what David just said There was a pause on the other end before Jessica responded, her

    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. “Don’t sound too excited, thinking I will be wasting my time calling you when I have some other better issues to settle, well I’ve got something important to tell you.”Hearing

    The hum of activity at Serenity's legion base was momentarily interrupted by a wave of murmurs and applause from the medical wing. Elvis, his sleeves rolled up and his focus unwavering, had just completed the successful treatment of a rare and complex condition that had stumped the base’s doctors for weeks. A young soldier, previously thought to have no chance of recovery, now showed promising signs of improvement under Elvis’s meticulous care.The gathered medical professionals, a mix of those trained in both traditional and modern medicine, exchanged looks of admiration. 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. She took the folder and opened it, her eyes scanning the contents quickly. As the words registered, her expression grew colder and more resolute.“The brother of the fugitive?” she

    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

    The night air was thick with tension as Damien led a trembling Jessica out of the club. Her tear-streaked face remained downcast, her shoulders hunched under the weight of his jacket, which he had draped over her earlier. The silence between them was palpable, only broken by the faint sound of her sniffles and the hum of traffic in the distance.Damien opened the car door for her, his movements calm and deliberate, though his jaw clenched with restrained anger. 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. The quiet should have been comforting, but it carried an underlying weight that nei

    Upon arriving home with his car Damien drove in and parked his car in front of the villa and immediately noticed something off. A stern-looking woman in a tailored military uniform stood at the entrance, her posture rigid and authoritative. It took him a moment to recognize her— Serenity's assistant, a face he had seen briefly during his prior encounters with the so-called War Goddess.However Damien couldn't help but wonder what she was doing at the entrance of his home.However he knew whatever made her come to his house must be important and under Serenity orders.Without wasting any more time Damien came down from the car.Immediately She stepped forward briskly as he exited the car. “Damien,” she began, her tone formal and cold, “I’m here on behalf of War Goddess Serenity. I was told to inform you, Your villa has been requisitioned for a high-priority mission. You’re required to vacate immediately.”Upon hearing what she just said Damien’s brow furrowed.

    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

    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

    Still Victoria couldn't believe Winston was gone, for someone who came from one of the most respected and well-connected families in the city?Weston, who had been groomed from childhood with wealth, power, and a future carved out before him?Weston, who had personal bodyguards trained by elites, connections even to some of the old political powers?She simply couldn’t wrap her head around it.And yet, the man on the phone—the powerful, feared, and respected Weston’s father—sounded completely defeated. 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
