2024-11-15 18:20:11Upon hearing Serenity accusations, Damien frowned.
“Your grandfather's condition?” “I wasn't aware he was ill.” War Goddess Serenity's already deadly eyes turned even more deadlier, her composure flickered for just a moment. She studied Damien with razor-sharp intensity, searching for any hint of pretense in his expression. Her hand was still tightened on her customized golden pistol, knuckles whitening beneath her military gloves. “You think I'm lying?” War Goddess Serenity's laugh held a sharp edge. “Very well. Follow me, since you're so determined to see him.” Her military boots clicked against the marble floors as she led Damien up a grand spiral staircase. “Perhaps this will finally end your pathetic pursuit of something you can't have.” Damien didn't say anything. The door to the top floor room opened, and it was turned into a medical suite. Advanced monitoring equipment beeped softly, their screens displaying vital signs in holographic detail. At that moment Damien's breath caught as he approached the bed. The elderly man lay perfectly still, his skin holding a subtle greenish tint that the other doctors had likely dismissed. But Damien recognized it instantly - Seven Stars Spirit Poison, a legendary toxin that hadn't been seen in centuries. “Your Grandfather has been poisoned,” Damien spoke quietly, his trained eyes catching the distinctive pulse patterns at Serenity grandfather's throat. “The Seven Stars variant, complicated by—” “Poisoned?” Serenity cut him off with a sneer. “Our top medical experts found no poison. Yet you waltz in here, claiming to spot in seconds what they couldn't find in months?” She crossed her arms, her medals in her chest clinking. “Let me guess - you just happen to know the cure?” Damien nodded solemnly. “Purple Dawn Herb, Mirror Leaf Fungus, and Star Fall Root. Combined with—” “Enough!!” Serenity's voice cracked like a whip. “You've seen him. He clearly cannot cancel the engagement. Was that not your real purpose here? To confirm he's truly incapacitated?” Damien didn't say anything, if not for his master words he would have walked away. “I'll find the herbs,” Damien stated simply, turning toward the door. “ I need your grandfather to annul our engagement himself, you're not worth my time.” Upon hearing what Damen just said, Serenity eyes Squinted. but she pretended his words didn't get to her. “Still playing the noble healer?” Serenity's words dripped with venom. “First you invent a poison only you know about, now you miraculously know its cure? Your desperation to stay connected to my family grows more pathetic by the minute, and it disgusts me.” At that moment Serenity pointed at the door. “Get out!” Her voice cracked. “Get out and don't you dare return with your lies and false hopes! or I will cut off your arms.” Damien did even turn around as he walked out of the Villa. Serenity's eyes were still filled with rage when her phone rang. Dr.Kyle's name flashed on the screen, making her heart race as she answered the call immediately. “War Goddess Serenity,” His grave voice carried the weight of authority. “I've completed my analysis concerning your grandfather.” Immediately Serenity straightened instinctively. “Please, Doctor, tell me what you've found.” “After extensive laboratory testing and consultation with international experts, we've identified the toxin.” He paused. “It's the Seven Stars Spirit Poison, an ancient poison thought lost to history.” The phone nearly slipped from Serenity's suddenly numb fingers. ‘Seven Stars... exactly what that village doctor had...’ “War Goddess? Are you there?” “Yes,” she whispered, her mind racing. “It's just... someone mentioned this exact poison earlier today...” “Impossible!” Kyle's voice sharpened with interest. “It took our entire research team weeks to identify it. Who could have—” “A nobody,” she cut in quickly, pushing away the unsettling thought. “A village doctor making lucky guesses. It must be a coincidence.” But her voice lacked conviction. “I see.” Dr.kyle's heavy sigh filled the line. “Then I must deliver the harder news. This poison... it's beyond our capabilities to treat. Your grandfather's condition has progressed too far.” At that moment Serenity gripped the phone so tight. “There must be something...” “There is... one possibility.” Dr. Kyle voice dropped lower. “There are rumors of a legendary physician who might be able to help. He's known to have distributed ten special cards to selected patients. Anyone holding such a card can seek his treatment.” immediately Serenity's eyes widened. “Ten cards? How can I find him?” “That's the challenge. He's more phantom than man. Some say he travels the world in disguise, testing people's hearts before revealing himself. Others claim he's hidden away in some remote mountain clinic.” At that moment Serenity's military mind kicked into action. “I'll mobilize every resource. Contact every medical institution. Search every mountain and villages and make sure I find him and get my hand on his special card!” ** Sophia family mansion's grand hall hummed with tension as Kyle arrived, his weathered medical bag a stark contrast to his immaculate suit. Behind him strutted Young Master Landon, his designer shoes clicking against the floors as the servant hurried to open doors for them. “Sophia,” Landon called out, straightening his imported silk tie. “I promised I'd help, didn't I? One call to my Father, and here's Dr.Kyle himself!” Dona barely glanced his way, her attention fixed on the renowned physician. “Thank you, Young Master Landon,” she replied with practiced politeness that didn't quite reach her eyes. Landon stepped closer, cologne washing over him. “My Father said Dr. Kyle hasn't come to see any patients in their house in months. But for us...” He smiled brightly then raised his shoulder. “It's easy.” Sophia didn't listen as she lent Dr Kyle to her grandfather's room. Dr. Kyle's examination was methodical, his experienced hands moving with practiced precision. At that moment the silence grew heavier with each frown that crossed his distinguished features. Finally, he straightened up, his expression grave. “Miss Sophia,” he began, his voice carrying the weight of decades of medical expertise. “Your grandfather's condition...” He paused, choosing his words carefully. “The deterioration has progressed beyond conventional treatment options. The internal damage is...to extensive.” immediately Sophia's legs weakened. Her brother caught her elbow, supporting her. “But you're among the best in the country,” she whispered. “Surely...” A harsh, wet cough interrupted her plea. Her grandfather's body suddenly convulsed violently. Immediately Sophia rushed forward as copper-colored phlegm appeared at the corners of his mouth. “Quick, check his temperature!” Dr. Kyle ordered, but Sophia was already staring at the display in horror: 40.7 degrees exactly. Her brother's face was drained of color. “This morning... that village doctor... he said...” “He predicted this exactly,” Sophia's voice shook as she pulled out the crumpled business card from her pocket. “The symptoms, the timing... everything he said would happen...” The card trembled in her fingers. While they had rushed off chasing famous names and reputations, had they actually turned away their grandfather's true hope of survival?

It could preserve his life, but...”“Please,” Mr.Oliver's voice cracked. “Whatever it takes.”Upon hearing what Mr Oliver just said Dr. Kyle's expression grew grave. “The procedure would place him in a sustained coma.

The Brain, recognizing Serenity's subordinate, acknowledged her presence with a curt nod. The subordinate, realizing her mistake, quickly saluted the high-ranking officer. “I apologize, sir,” she stammered, her voice filled with a mix of respect and embarrassment. “I wasn't aware that Damien was here to deliver the herbs you requested.”The Brain's gaze lingered on the subordinate for a moment, his expression unreadable.“It is not your place to question Damien's actions,” he stated, his tone firm but not unkind. “Please leave us and refrain from meddling in his affairs. He is here on official business.”Immediately Serenity subordinate, chastised by the Brain's words, lowered her gaze and nodded.“Yes, sir.

Every single time!” The words tumbled out of his mouth, laced with frustration and resentment.Winston held up his hands, trying to calm London down. “Easy there, London. That's not why we're here, remember?” He leaned forward, his voice low and serious. “We're here to figure out how we can join forces and take down our common enemy. You don't want Damien around, and neither do I. We need to work together, side by side, to make sure we bring him down.”London took a deep breath, trying to rein in his emotions. “You're right, Winston.” He paused for a moment, his brow furrowed in thought.“I've been thinking of something, but I'm not sure if it's going to work.”**Damien's phone rang, the shrill sound cutting through the air like a knife.

We both know we're not here to exchange pleasantries.” His voice was low and direct, leaving no room for small talk.Winston's lips curled into a wry smile.“Agreed. Damien is the reason we're here, so let's not waste time pretending to be friends.”London nodded, his eyes narrowing. “I saw something at the restaurant the other day, between you and Damien.

At that moment London's heart raced as he faced Mr. Oliver, a mix of determination and unease in his eyes. He spoke in a low, earnest voice, careful not to let his words carry beyond the room.“Mr. Oliver, I need to tell you something, but it has to stay between us. It's about Sophia again.” London paused, gathering his thoughts. “She begged me not to say anything, but after what happened, I can't keep quiet. I'm worried that Damien might be plotting something again, and this time, he could succeed in trapping her.”At that moment Mr. Oliver leaned forward, his brow furrowed with concern. “What do you mean?

How did he manage that? How long has he been worming his way into her life?”Oliver still, seated across from him, crossed her legs, his expression unreadable. But hos fingers, curled tightly around the stem of her glass, betrayed her growing irritation. “Are you saying Sophia is naive enough to fall for someone like him?” he asked, arching a brow.London scoffed. “Not naive, but maybe reckless. And if she isn’t careful, this could be disastrous. Just think about it. Sophia—the first daughter of the Nathaniel family—tangled up with a mere village doctor?

He let out a dry laugh, shaking his head. “You’re her father, damn it! What do you mean you know your boundaries? This is your daughter, not some stranger!”At that moment Sophia’s father sighed heavily, running a hand down his face. “London, I understand your frustration, but Sophia is an adult.

She tapped a manicured nail against the glass in her hand. "If anyone can rip Damien apart without leaving a trace, it's Winston.”Jefferson smirked. "That’s exactly what I thought when I heard it. Winston hates Demian already. But if we help him out by giving him something to use in any way? He won’t just hate him—he’ll make sure he disappears.”Megan chuckled, crossing her legs as she leaned forward. “And we both know Winston family doesn't forgive.

Valentina's shoulders were tense, her fingers nervously clutching at the hem of her dress as she listened to Damien. He stood with his hands in his pockets, his expression unreadable, but there was something sharp in his gaze—something that told her he hadn’t entirely forgiven her just yet.At that moment She swallowed hard. “I… I know I was wrong,” she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. “I should have just kept quiet. I shouldn’t have—”Damien cut her off with a sigh. “You didn’t just doubt me, Valentina. You attacked me. You called me a fraud, stood by while your family humiliated me, and let Dr. Maxwell run his mouth like he knew better.” His eyes darkened slightly. “You were ready to let me get thrown out, maybe even locked up, all to protect your pride.”At that moment Valentina clenched her jaw, hating the truth in his words. “I didn’t know what else to do.
