People stared at Karz warily. Their gazes swept over his every movement, every detail of his giant body, as if trying to find a lie there. It was difficult for them to believe Harvey's words—their common sense rejected the existence of such a creature.Amidst those suspicious gazes, Karz raised one eyebrow. The corners of his lips lifted into a faint, calm, almost playful smile—a stark contrast to the fear that enveloped the humans before him.However, in the eyes of the people, that smile felt terrifying. It was not friendly—rather, it was like the shadow of a threat ready to fall at any moment. Karz's aura of power was too real to ignore. They knew that a single swish of the creature's tail was enough to wipe out a person without a trace.“We don't believe any of that!” snapped one of them. His eyes bulged, his jaw tightened, anger and fear mixed together.He stepped closer, the distance between them shrinking dramatically. His index finger rose, pointing directly at Karz's face—the

No one spoke. The air felt heavy, as if words were stuck in their throats. Some swallowed hard, others just stared at the scar—a giant crescent moon that was real, rough, and impossible to fake.The legend they had always considered a fairy tale... stood right in front of them.The story that had once been passed down by word of mouth, sounding impossible, had now taken shape. Not in an old book or a drunken fisherman's tale—but in the form of a giant that ruled the seas.The realization hit them slowly.And when they fully understood, there was no longer any courage to deny it.The tension slowly eased. There were no more screams, no more open threats. But some eyes still stared at Karz with sharp vigilance—fearful, suspicious, not yet fully accepting.Harvey did not respond. Neither did Karz. Both knew that these humans had no power over the ancient creature.Karz shifted his gaze to the open sea. His voice was heavy again, but this time it was calm."In the last fifty years," he sa

The next day, news of Karz's existence had spread throughout the city. They all came to Harvey to ask him about it. They didn't care what Harvey was doing.But at that moment, Harvey was just about to leave with Vanessa to continue their honeymoon."We are city reporters. Can you spare us a little time?""Mr. General, give us a statement about Gigan Jaws!" "When did you meet him?" "Is he a dangerous creature?" "You seem to be able to control him. Are you using your own methods?"Harvey stepped forward with a very cold gaze. He scanned the room. There were many cameras snapping photos and recording videos. He had expected that his presence here would be easily exposed. Especially since many photos and videos of Karz's presence on the beach had been widely circulated. The whole country knew about it. The truth about the Legend of the South Sea.The good news was that other countries who knew about this would think twice before attacking Kaelvarion from the south. But the bad news wa

Marco and Wyn froze in place. Their eyes widened, following the movement of Vanessa's hand as a card slid from her fingers and fell onto the table. Vanessa smiled—calm, almost relaxed—as if she had known the outcome all along. Behind her, Harvey was also silent. A moment earlier, he had caught a brief flicker of panic on Vanessa's face, enough to make his chest tighten. But now that worry had faded. From the way she stood, from her unwavering smile, it was clear that everything had been under her control from the start. Vanessa rose from her chair. She folded her arms across her chest, her posture relaxed but confident. Her gaze swept over Marco and Wyn from behind her eyelashes, her smile thin—sly, but even more seductive. "Wow..." she said softly, as if weighing something. "I almost slept with you guys." She paused briefly, her smile widening. "What a pity, huh?" She was deliberately teasing them. Vanessa's smile remained, while her words hung in the air, enough to make Marco an

One of them stepped forward, his hand outstretched to grab Vanessa's wrist. But before he could touch her, Vanessa moved.She grabbed the bodyguard's hand first. Her grip was strong—locked. In one swift motion, her knee rose and struck the man's elbow from an angle that was impossible to defend against.Crack!The arm bent in an unnatural direction. A scream of pain burst from the bodyguard's mouth. His body swayed, his reflexes gone. Vanessa didn't give him time. A quick punch landed on the back of his neck. Precise and clean. The large body immediately collapsed to the floor, unconscious.The nine remaining men's eyes widened. Their bodies tensed simultaneously, their alert instincts taking over. One of them took half a step back while reaching into his suit pocket.“Be careful,” he said tensely. “This woman is skilled. Don't underestimate her.”The warning was followed by the sound of metal clashing. Weapons were drawn.Five people raised their pistols, their barrels pointing forw
