Damian closed the door slowly, and the sound of the automatic lock clicking into place was almost inaudible. He immediately took off his long coat and placed it on the back of a chair, just as he heard quick, hurried footsteps coming from the stairs.“Alice?” he called softly, certain that it was his wife.Alice appeared from the stairs, breathing heavily, wearing a thin nightgown and her eyes swollen from crying. Her gaze was sharp and panicked, and when she saw Damian standing in the middle of the living room, she immediately ran towards her husband.“Damian!” she cried softly before her hands clasped Damian's chest and her body fell into his embrace. “Where have you been? I heard the emergency broadcast. There was an explosion, an ambush, and then your report suddenly disappeared from the network. I called your friend—I think his name is Kevin—but he only said, ‘Everything is under control.’ What does ‘under control’ mean? I’m here alone, not knowing if you’re still alive or not!”

“If I don't come back, it means I died doing the right thing. But I promise, I'll come back in one piece.”Alice burst into tears in his arms, but she didn't make a sound. Only tears flowed down Damian's shoulders.Davina stood between them, hugging her father's legs. “Daddy, don't get hurt,” she said innocently.Damian knelt down and looked at his daughter’s face. “I’ll come back, Davina. Because there are two girls who are always the reason I come home.”After kissing his daughter and wife on the forehead, Damian stepped back. He looked at the three of them in silence, storing their images in his memory like the last flickering flame before a storm.Then he turned around and walked out of the room. Jasper followed him a few seconds later, but not before giving Alice a nod, as if the wind was whispering a promise that he would protect them.Damian's footsteps blended into the long, silent corridor. He walked toward the waiting black tactical vehicle, staring ahead with a sharp gaze.

“All of this is proof of the illegal transactions that those scoundrels have been carrying out. It took me a long time to obtain all of their names and the sources of their funds. Even finding the location of the weapons warehouse and the list of agents embedded within the international government nearly cost me my life, but fortunately, the universe was kind to me, allowing me to survive until now." Megan stared at the documents she had taken out from the old table in front of her with a fiery gaze.“So, Lieutenant Megan Aurelia, it seems you still harbor a deep grudge, don’t you? Don’t tell me you disappeared because you wanted to settle all your grudges on your own?” Damian asked in a cold tone.Megan Aurelia was a strong woman, Damian had known, but Damian knew that she harbored a great deal of pain inside her heart. Since Megan disappeared, Damian realized that the girl hadn't gone anywhere; she probably just wanted to resolve all her pain on her own, in a way that might seem has

“Right, you have to track them down. Find out what they really want because I feel like they're planning something big.” Damian immediately agreed with Nick's question.Nick, who was elsewhere, immediately did what Damian said.Damian just waited silently for Nick to work, while Megan chose to sit on one of the dusty sofas, but she quickly cleaned it so that she could sit comfortably.“Mr. Damian, I've got it. I managed to get into their system because they carelessly installed the trap virus I created, so I was able to get into their system through that,” Nick replied with a satisfied tone, because Nick sometimes sold his creations.The viruses Nick created were highly sought after by several large organizations because no one could break through what he had created, and at that moment, Nick felt quite pleased because what he had created turned out to be very influential at a time like this.“Good, stay there. Find out everything about them, don’t forget any details, and don’t forget

Damian tapped the table in front of him, looking a little worried but remaining silent.Megan watched Damian silently, finally opening her mouth when she saw that Damian was still standing staring at the computer in front of him.“Mr. Damian, you'd better sit down first. This place won't be easy to find, and even if they do find it, they won't necessarily be able to get in quickly. I've activated the alarm feature that will remind us to escape first. So calm down,” Megan said, trying to convince Damian that as long as they were there, the enemies wouldn't be able to touch them.“I'm not worried about that, I'm just thinking about other things.” Damian finally sat down on a chair nearby.Damian was not afraid of the enemies attacking him now because he was confident in his own abilities, but he was only worried about his daughter and wife.He didn't want the criminals to detect his family's whereabouts through the phone signals he was sending. Damian couldn't imagine anything bad happe
