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 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

    At that moment the room went quiet immediately. His son clenched his jaw but said nothing. He slowly lowered his eyes and took a step back, biting back the words that had risen to his tongue. He had seen that look on his father’s face before — the look that said not another word. Pushing now would only make things worse.But deep down, he was unsettled about everything.If Serenity could walk in here and offer anything to buy the identity of that man… if they accepted and the news got out — would anyone ever trust them again? His thoughts raced. What about if any of them needed help from the miracle doctor? Would he even come here again?He looked at Serenity, standing tall and unreadable, her arms crossed, her gaze sharp but calm. She wasn’t bluffing. She meant every word. She had the power to reward them greatly — or walk away and never return.Sophia’s father swallowed hard. ‘She’s serious. If we help her… we’ll get favor. But at what cost?’However Sophia grandfather didn’t waver

    At that moment As Serenity turned, her boots clicking against the tiled floor, her words still echoed in the air: “I’ll offer him something he won’t be able to reject.”Immediately Sophia’s jaw clenched.She didn’t move at first—just stared after Serenity, her fingers slowly curling into a fist at her side. Heat rose to her chest. Not the kind that came from fear, but the kind that boiled under layers of held-back restraint. ‘How dare she come into their home and speak like that?’At that moment Sophia finally stepped forward, her voice sharp but composed. “So that’s why you came?” she asked, staring directly at Serenity’s back. “To threaten my family?”Serenity paused but didn’t turn.Sophia took one more step. “You know, I understand your reputation. You’re the war goddess. We’re not equals. Exchanging words with you alone feels like asking for a fight I didn’t even pick.”Then Serenity’s head tilted slightly, but she still didn’t face her.However Sophia’s voice dropped a little,

    Upon hearing what London just said, Sophia’s eyes narrowed slightly, her voice calm but firm. “Like I said before, London… I don’t have anything to think about.”She folded her arms. “You can go. Do whatever you want. It’s not my business anymore.”Still her tone didn’t crack. No fear, no guilt. Just finality.London stood frozen for a second. His lips pressed into a hard line as he scanned her from head to toe—slowly. His eyes held a mix of disbelief, anger, and bitter disappointment. But mostly, bruised pride, seeing Sophia rejecting him over and over again.Immediately his jaw clenched. “You really meant it…” he muttered under his breath, like he couldn’t believe it was actually happening.Then his voice rose.“So that’s it?” he barked. “You walk away from everything—just like that?”He scoffed bitterly and pointed toward her. “Because some fool from the gutter was lucky enough to save your grandfather, now you think he’s good enough for you?”However Sophia remained silent.

    At that moment London’s fists clenched at his sides. His breathing grew heavier, and his jaw locked. The smirk he had worn a moment ago had completely vanished, replaced by a tight-lipped scowl.He wanted to lash out, before he could say anything, Sophia stepped forward, past him, and walked to where her grandfather sat stiffly. Her voice dropped to a soft whisper, only meant for the old man’s ears. “Grandfather… I’m sorry I spoke like that in front of you. I didn’t mean to embarrass you.”The words were sincere, and the old man could hear it—but he said nothing.She didn’t wait for his response, With her back straight and eyes forward, Sophia walked out of the room.Immediately Silence followed her,until London snapped.His voice echoed through the room, sharp and venomous. “This is the girl you were defending? This is the same girl I thought you trained?”Immediately he turned on Sophia’s grandfather, pointing with disbelief. “You said you’d disown her if she walked out. Well, she

    At that moment the silence cracked like glass under a heavy foot. Everyone stared at Sophia.Immediately her grandfather blinked twice, trying to process what he thought he misheard. Her father’s jaw clenched. Even London, so full of himself a moment ago, faltered. His proud smirk twitched uncertainly.Then Sophia took a step forward. Her shoe echoed on the polished floor, each sound loud in the heavy silence.“You all thought I was going to beg him?” Her voice was steady, but there was something raw just beneath it. “Is that what you were waiting for? For me to kneel down and cry and say ‘I’m sorry, London’? After everything?”At that moment in time her grandfather’s eyes darkened even more. “Sophia, enough.”“No,” she said sharply, cutting through the tension. “No, Grandpa. You said I should apologize, for disrespecting him. But did anyone stop to ask what respect he gave me in the first place?”She turned to London. “Tell them, London. Tell them how you called me a disgrace. How y

    Everyone’s eyes turned to her. Sophia’s fists clenched at her side, her jaw tightening. But her grandfather didn’t pause.“We have kept quiet too much,” he said. “We have given you too much freedom. Too much leverage. And now, look what you're doing with it—misusing it!”At that moment he turned away for a second as if trying to calm himself, then looked back at her. “You think you can throw away everything we’ve built for some stranger? You better be mindful, Sophia. Mindful of the way you talk, of the way you behave. Because right now, I am already angry at you.”London, who had remained quiet for a while, finally stepped forward. His expression was cold, his shoulders squared as he spoke with calm pride.“I didn’t come here for Sophia to apologize,” he said, voice low and sharp. “I only came here to inform all of you that I am no longer interested.”But deep down, as he said those words, something tightened in his chest. He was hoping. Hoping she would stop him. Hoping she would br

    The moment London’s words settled in the room, tension wrapped itself around everyone like thick smoke. Now the air was suffocating.Sophia’s grandfather mother was the first to speak up, her voice trembling. “London, please… just calm down. Don’t do anything rash.”Sophia’s father stepped forward quickly. “She’s just being childish, okay? You know how stubborn she can be. But it hasn’t gotten to this, London. It really hasn’t.”Even her mother, who’d remained silent until now, nodded quickly. “She doesn’t mean what she’s saying… she’s upset, that’s all. You two have history, deep history from childhood. Please, don’t let this ruin everything.”But Sophia stood there, arms crossed, face calm and unwavering.“I meant every word I said,” she replied coolly. “And even if the Supreme King signs anything with them, that deal is still nothing compared to what Demian can actually bring to this family.”At that moment they all turned to look at her in disbelief, but she didn’t stop.“So all

    Her grandfather stepped forward, tone calm but firm. “London, you’re wrong. She just came in not long ago. Barely ten minutes before you arrived.”Her father nodded in agreement. “We were outside when a car drove her in. It can’t be a coincidence that you’re both arriving around the same time. Whatever is upsetting you—maybe you should calm down and talk to her.”But that only made London’s face twist in rage. “Coincidence?” he scoffed. “You think this is coincidence?”He took a deep breath, barely able to contain his shaking.“Fine. Let me tell you why I came here.”At that moment both men were silent.“I came to tell you that I’m done. I’m not going to have anything to do with Sophia again,” he declared.Immediately Their expressions shifted—confusion, disbelief.London continued, his words sharp, his voice edged with disgust. “Sophia went to go sleep with that village doctor. She spent the night with that village bastard—and for what? Just because he was able to heal Mr. Nathaniel,

    At that moment Elvis still standing beside his car, his hand still gripping the door handle, but he hadn’t opened it yet. His mind was a battlefield—rage and desperation crashing against reason. The idea still lingered like poison in his chest.‘Should I just end him?’But the second that thought returned, so did the image of Serenity’s face if she ever found out. That girl who once looked at him with respect, with trust… she would kill him. Not with her hands, maybe—but with her eyes. With her silence. With her distance.And Elvis couldn't survive that.He pulled his hand away from the door, sighing through gritted teeth. “No,” he muttered, forcing the thought out of his head. “She’ll never forgive me. She’ll destroy me.”But then came another sting—the one that ate at him deeper.“Damien, that bastard. Always calm, always quiet, always acting like he didn’t want anything… and yet he was winning. Serenity cared about him. More than she admitted.” And Elvis knew it.His throat tighte
