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 Jessica nervously adjusted her blouse as she stepped into the elegant café, her heels clicking softly against the tiled floor. She had received Winston’s invitation the day before, and though she feigned confidence, the weight of his reputation loomed large in her mind. Winston wasn’t just influential—he was known for being ruthless and calculating. A meeting with him rarely ended without strings attached.She scanned the room until she spotted Winston seated in a private corner booth. His posture was relaxed, but his eyes held a sharpness that made her stomach churn. Forcing a smile, Jessica approached and greeted him.“Winston ,” she began, her voice tinged with apprehension, “it’s an honor to meet you.”Seeing Jessica Winston gestured to the seat opposite him, his expression unreadable. “Please, sit.”Without wasting any time she immediately sat down.As she settled into the chair, she couldn’t help but wonder why someone of his stature would bother with her.Could

    Not long after the new Sales assistant came.The sales assistant, a young woman named Barbara, approached Damien with a professional smile. She had just been briefed by the receptionist and, though slightly nervous, was eager to assist. As a relatively new hire, Barbara hadn’t yet had the chance to make a significant sale, and she wasn’t expecting much from Damien.“Good afternoon, sir,” Barbara greeted politely. “I understand you’re looking for a vehicle today?”At that moment Damien nodded, his demeanor calm yet purposeful. “Yes. I’d like to see your highest-spec model.”Upon. hearing what Damien just said Barbara blinked in surprise. “Of course. Would you like me to walk you through the features, or would you prefer to test drive it first?”“No need for a test drive,” Barbara said, his tone firm. “Let’s go straight to the paperwork.”For a moment, Barbara was stunned. Most customers, especially those considering such an expensive purchase, were cautious and meticulous. They woul

    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

    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
