“St. Steve gave them to me without asking for payment, General,” said Jordan, handing over several small bottles. “And it seems he has no idea that you are General Kaelvarion.”Harvey accepted the bottles. His strong fingers slowly twisted the caps, as if to ensure the contents were genuine. His eyes narrowed, a flash of suspicion appearing, though his face remained calm. He had expected St. Steve to help—but his anticipation made him check every detail.Harvey exhaled deeply. His gaze lowered, as if piercing the floor.“Yes... he didn't know my rank. I came alone that time.”Alex nodded slowly. His fingers touched his chin, his mind wandering. He remembered that Harvey used to travel around the country, always wearing a mask. If the mask had been removed at that time, St. Steve would have known who was actually in front of him.“But, General...” Alex's voice was slightly hesitant, “what were you doing in Godleaf? That place seems so safe, far from the smell of war.”Harvey smiled fai

Slowly, Harvey spooned St. Steve's concoction into Crysta's mouth. The girl swallowed it with difficulty, as if every drop of liquid added to the burden on her already weak body. All this time, Harvey had been treating her brain structure every day—preventing her body from ever fully recovering.As soon as the medicine went down her throat, Crysta tried to close her eyes to sleep. But suddenly, her face tensed up. Her head felt as if it had been hit by thousands of needles. A sharp pain shot from her forehead to the back of her head.Crysta grimaced, her body writhing wildly on the bed. Her shrill scream made Harvey spontaneously sit up.“Miss Crysta, please hold on a moment. I'll ease it.” Allison hurriedly reached for Crysta's forehead, but Harvey's hand stopped her movement first.Harvey shook his head slowly. His gaze was firm. “Allison, this is indeed a side effect of the medicine.”He simply moved his two fingers, signaling Allison to back off. Harvey knew exactly what was happe

The day before...Harvey had just taken a deep breath after channeling his energy. His palm was still pressed against Crysta's temple, his fingers trembling slightly. He had to control the flow of energy carefully, repairing the brain tissue little by little-if he overdoes it, Crysta could break under the weight.Crysta's eyelids fluttered before finally opening slowly. The dim light of the room reflected in her still empty eyeballs. Her face was tense, eyebrows furrowed as if she was holding back an unfamiliar feeling that was pushing its way into her head.She stares at Harvey for a long time, her eyes full of confusion, then her lips part tremblingly."Who... are you?"Harvey lowered his head, staring at the floor as if weighing a thousand burdens in his mind. He already knows that Crysta's memory is now like a shard of glass-sometimes it shows her reflection, sometimes it just disappears. There are times when Crysta goes berserk, and others when she recognizes Harvey again. But st

“Our daughter is a rising actress. Beautiful, smart, and accomplished. I'm sure you'll fall in love with her the moment you see her.”The middle-aged woman with elegant makeup flashed a broad smile. The jewels in her jewelry sparkled softly under the crystal chandelier, emphasizing her luxurious appearance. She was Marylin Reid, Vanessa's mother.At the VIP table, appetizing dishes were neatly arranged, their aroma filling the room. Next to Marylin, a man in an expensive suit sat upright—Billy Reid, Vanessa's husband and father. His face exuded pride, as if every word Marylin said was the absolute truth about their daughter.“That's right,” Billy replied proudly. “Vanessa is a very independent child. When she was in college, she tried out for castings, became an advertising model, and even participated in a series shoot. We were against it at first, but it turns out her talent far exceeded our expectations. I'm sure Abram will like her.”The handsome young man—Abram—smiled slightly as

Everyone in the room was shocked. Especially Marylin. Her face turned red with anger and embarrassment. She immediately grabbed Vanessa's hand and pulled her closer.“You insolent child. What did you say? Don't make things up! You never said you had a boyfriend.”Vanessa furrowed her eyebrows. Her breathing became short. The term “brat” stung her. She didn't expect to hear that from her own mother. “You don't have to know everything about my personal life. I refuse this match. I already have my own man. Thank you!”Vanessa tried to pull her hand away, but Marylin held it tightly. Vanessa's mother glared at her with a hardened jaw. “This child! You are very rude to our guests! He has reserved this VVIP room.”Billy stood up from his seat. He also looked annoyed at Vanessa. "Vanessa, you used to be an obedient and smart girl. You never disappointed us. That's why we arranged this marriage. So you can live well without having to work hard anymore. Think about it, Abram is a very succe

Marylin's eyes widened, then narrowed sharply. Her arms were folded across her chest, her body leaning forward slightly as if challenging him. Her cynical gaze was fixed on Harvey from head to toe.“You?” Her voice rose half an octave, sounding full of scorn. "You're the one having a relationship with my daughter? You should take a look in the mirror first, young man! You look too ordinary to be the lover of a megastar like Vanessa."Marylin chuckled briefly. “And Vanessa said you're the General? Don't be ridiculous. He disappeared a long time ago, and he must be old enough to retire by now. You think we're going to believe that just because you have a little power?”Billy looked up, his chin raised high as if looking down on someone from a lower caste. His gaze was sharp and full of disgust.“My wife is right,” he said coldly, his tone measured but condescending. “I don't care if you're in the military or not. But you've been rude by daring to enter this VVIP room.”He leaned back, i

“What?” Marylin's voice rose, her eyes widening sharply, as if she had just heard the craziest joke in the world.Harvey did not answer immediately. He just looked at her briefly before nodding slowly, confidently. “I own this hotel building.”His hand then reached for Vanessa's shoulder with a calm but firm movement. The touch felt like a statement stronger than any words. “Vanessa will be safer with me.”Marylin's face tensed. Her arrogance collapsed instantly, replaced by confusion she couldn't hide.Billy roughly pushed Harvey's hand away, causing the air between them to feel tense. The veins in his neck bulged, and his face reddened with anger. “Liar!” he shouted, his index finger pointing directly at Harvey's face. “You think we're going to believe your nonsense?” His voice trembled, half from emotion, half from wounded pride. "You heard it yourself! Abram is the largest shareholder in this hotel—worth hundreds of billions! Every year he receives billions of dollars in divide

The atmosphere in the room was suddenly silent, as if the air had frozen with their shock.Billy could only stare silently, his lips opened slightly but not a word came out. The look in his eyes implied shock mixed with disbelief.Marylin was also silent. Her brows furrowed, her eyes darted from one face to another, trying to find an explanation amongst the confusion.Who exactly owns this building? She wondered.Harvey? But doesn't Abram own the biggest share here? If so, doesn't he automatically own the hotel?Marylin's mind raced, but there was no definitive answer. Only an uneasy feeling began to creep into her chest."You-you..."Marylin stared at Harvey with rounded eyes, her finger raised shakily to point at the man. Her words hung in the air, as if her tongue had lost the strength to form them into sentences.The anger that had been burning in her chest slowly subsided, replaced by a piercing sense of wonder."How could... that manager say this building belongs to you?" her vo

The knife in Harvey's hand cut through the meat with calm movements. He chewed each bite slowly, as if there was nothing to talk about that night.Across from him, Vanessa blew on her spoonful of rib soup—the hotel's favorite dish—and tasted it while glancing discreetly at her parents.Billy and his wife were still staring at their untouched plates. The atmosphere at the table had not completely recovered since the earlier incident. The subtle intimidation Harvey had directed at Abram still hung over their heads.Billy finally cleared his throat, trying to break the oppressive silence.“The food here... looks very good,” he said, in a tone that sounded more like an attempt to calm himself than a genuine compliment.“Eat,” Harvey said curtly. “All these dishes are specially prepared for the Reid family.”His tone was flat, but there was a subtle pressure behind every word. His gaze was calm, authoritative—like someone who was used to giving orders and never being questioned.Billy smil

Marylin and Billy exchanged glances. No words were spoken, only a brief, heavy silence. Harvey's words—though spoken in a flat tone—pierced deeper than anyone's screams.Marylin's face tensed slightly, while Billy shifted slightly in his chair, trying to maintain his composure.Billy finally cleared his throat, trying to regain control of the situation.“We love Vanessa with all our hearts,” he said, his voice as calm as possible, but there was a slight tension he couldn't hide. “She is our precious child. Don't you think... your words are a little excessive, Harvey?”Harvey slowly placed his hand on the table. His movement was calm, but it was enough to attract the attention of everyone there. His gaze was fixed on Billy—flat, yet containing a subtle pressure that was difficult to ignore.“Then why did you act that way?” he said softly, his voice almost emotionless but sharp.His words hung in the air, causing Billy to fall silent for a moment.The words were not just a question.
