CHAPTER 21
A heavy silence fell.Thomas froze, then whipped around to Selene and Lance, his arrogance doubling.“Did you hear him?" "Get on your knees now!” he barked. “You’ve angered Mr. Smith! You people are going to lose your heads today!”Nathaniel smirked. “It doesn’t matter how strong you think you are. One word from Mr. Smith, and you’re all dead.”Selene didn’t move.Instead, she stepped forward, eyes sharp, voice cutting through the tension like a blade.“How dare you mention Astra Corp?” she demanded. “None of you are worthy to even speak its name, let alone represent it.”She took another step.“Astra Corp stands for honor and integrity. But you—” her gaze swept over them, filled with disgust “—you use power only to oppress and trample others. Is this how the East District conducts itself?”Mr. Smith jolted. His lips parted, panic flickering in his eyes.“No—” he started, but—Thomas cut him off.“What’s it to you?!” he snapped. “How dare you question how we do things here?”His lips
CHAPTER 22
The moment the word left his mouth—BAM!A brutal punch from one of Mr. Smith's men slammed into his stomach, forcing the air from his lungs.Thomas doubled over, gasping.BAM! BAM! BAM!Three more blows landed, one to his ribs, his jaw, his gut. The impact immediately sent him crashing to the floor.Nathaniel and Catherine rushed forward in panic.“Stop this!” Catherine shrieked.Nathaniel reached out, but two guards seized him, shoving him back.The officials watched in horror. The chief took a step back.Mr. Smith lifted a hand and his men immediately stopped.Breathless, Thomas wheezed on the floor, struggling to sit up. His face was swollen, his lip split, his suit disheveled.He glared at Mr. Smith with sheer rage and confusion.“You…” he gasped. “Why?""Why are you doing this?”Mr. Smith exhaled heavily. Then, his next words made the entire hall tremble.“You blind fools! Do you have any idea who she is?” He trembled.Miss Selene was not going to forgive him for this.Silence.
CHAPTER 23
Lance could not help but let out a low chuckle.Thomas stiffened.The humiliation burned.But this was life or death.With a trembling voice, he turned sharply toward Nathaniel and Catherine.“You fools!" "Don’t just stand there, GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES AND BEG!”Catherine and Nathaniel collapsed to their knees, bowing their heads furiously. Her shoulders shook, her breath ragged.“Miss Selene, please! Forgive me! I had no idea it was you! I— I was rude! I was blind! Please, have mercy!” Catherine begged, her voice trembling.Beside her, Nathaniel trembled. Then—SMACK!He slapped himself across the face.“Miss Selene, please! Have mercy on us!”SMACK!He slapped himself even harder this time.His palm stung red, but he didn’t stop.“It was all a misunderstanding!”SMACK!Blood trickled from his split lip.“We are sorry! From today onwards, we will devote our lives to Astra Corp! Please, Miss Selene, please! Have mercy!”Thomas' hand flew to his cheek, his eyes wide with shock.“Mr...
CHAPTER 24
Mr. Smith’s voice cracked with desperation.“It was all my fault!” he pleaded. “I failed to discipline my subordinates, and they disrespected you! I failed as a director! I… I accept any punishment you give me, Miss Selene!”His forehead pressed to the floor, sweat dripping down his face.Nathaniel staggered back, gripping the nearest chair for support.His face was drained of color.His lips parted, his voice barely a whisper—“She.... She’s really Miss Selene?”Catherine clutched Thomas’s arm, her entire body trembling.“Thomas… What do we do?” she choked out. “She’s really Miss Selene… She’s the CEO of Astra Corp!”Thomas couldn’t move.He couldn’t breathe.He could not even think.It felt as if the world was spinning around him and his entire reality crumbled in an instant.A resounding slap echoed in the hall.Mr. Smith jerked from the force of Selene’s hand, his head snapping to the side. His body remained bowed, forehead pressed to the floor, but his breathing turned ragged.Se
CHAPTER 25
Selene’s gaze snapped to him, cold and sharp.Nathaniel swallowed hard.“We were only doing what was best for Astra Corp!” he insisted. “This man, this worthless fool.""He’s the real problem! He should be the one punished!”Selene’s eyes turned to ice.“Even now, you still have the guts to call Lance a fool?”Nathaniel flinched.“You show no remorse,” she continued, her words dripping with disgust. “Astra Corp will never associate itself with people like you!”Nathaniel’s panic exploded into fury.He shot to his feet, jabbing an accusing finger at Lance.“It’s all your fault!” he roared. “If you hadn’t shown up, none of this would’ve happened! Because of you, we’ve lost everything, our position, our wealth, my life of luxury is all GONE!”His chest heaved. His face was red with rage.And then he lunged forward at Lance.But he didn't take two steps before...BAM!The guards moved like lightning, slamming him to the floor.His arms were wrenched behind his back. His face pressed into
CHAPTER 26
The announcer’s voice rang with reverence.“Sir Sylvester! The youngest commander in Prescott’s history! A war hero! A man who had fought numerous battles.”Gasps filled the room.Nathaniel’s lips curled into a smirk.The warrior of Prescott…?He knew what that meant.The tables were about to turn.Boots clanked against the marble floor as a tall, imposing figure strode in.Sir Sylvester.His uniform was crisp, his medals gleamed under the light.Solders marched behind him as he walked.Power radiated from his every step.Thomas’s breath caught.“It’s… It’s really Mr. Sylvester!” he choked out.But as everyone tensed, Lance simply crossed his arms.Unmoved. Unimpressed.Nathaniel’s smirk widened.He turned toward Lance, his voice dripping with glee.“Well, well… Look at that. One of Prescott's warriors had arrived. You deserter, you're done for.”“HA HA HA!” A loud, mocking laugh rang out.The chief, who had been silent all this while, suddenly stepped forward, his face lit up with ex
CHAPTER 27
Sir Sylvester stepped forward, his heavy boots echoing through the hall.His sharp gaze locked onto Selene.“These crimes against you are outrageous,” he declared, his voice ringing with authority. “And they deserve serious punishment.”The crowd held its breath.But Selene did not flinch.She lifted her chin, her piercing gaze meeting his without fear.“Sylvester,” she said, her voice cool and unwavering, “you should not believe everything you hear.”SMACK!Sylvester gave her a brutal slap, the force of the slap snapped her head to the side.Gasps erupted across the room.A deep red mark bloomed on her cheek.And then she slowly turned back.Her eyes burned with defiance as she glared at him.“How dare—”“HOW DARE YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THAT?!” Sir Sylvester roared, cutting her off.His voice shook the grand hall.“You are nothing but a mere CEO! And I am one of the Four Warriors of Prescott!”Murmurs rippled through the crowd.Selene stood , her face unreadable.Sir Sylvester sneered.
CHAPTER 28
Sylvester gave him a huge slap across his cheek.Sylvester’s eyes blazed with fury.“How dare you question me?” he thundered.The hall shook with the force of his rage.“I know exactly what I’m doing.”Sir Sylvester’s sneer deepened.He then shoved Selene aside viciously.Selene staggered but did not fall.He then came face-to-face with Lance.The hall fell deathly silent.Sylvester’s eyes gleamed with cruel amusement.“So this is the man you’re protecting?” he scoffed, glancing at Selene.He let out a low chuckle.“What is it, Selene?” he taunted. “You are rejecting me for this wretched fool?”Lance’s fists clenched at his sides and Sylvester grinned.“Let me show you what true humiliation looks like,” he murmured.He then smirked widely as he turned to Lance.“Kneel and crawl to my feet,” he ordered.Lance remained still and Sylvester’s gaze darkened.The chief with his broken arm let out a loud chuckle.“This is what you get for going against me, Lance,” he said with his voice fill
CHAPTER 29
Sylvester’s eyes flashed with fury.“You foolish woman!” he bellowed, his voice thundering across the hall.“How dare you threaten me?”His gaze darkened, filled with contempt.“You may be the general’s personal assistant, but I am the newly appointed warrior.”His chest swelled with arrogance.“I have not even seen the general in person, yet my loyalty is absolute.”His lips curled into a sneer.“If you continue to disrespect me…”His voice dropped, laced with menace.“I will execute you on the spot.”A cold chill swept through the room.Then—The chief’s laughter shattered the silence.“Lance!” he called mockingly, shaking his head.“You have no idea what’s coming for you.”His eyes gleamed with cruel amusement.“You’d better get on your knees and beg!”Then his finger jabbed toward Evelyn and Rachel.“You too. Kneel.”His voice turned cold.“Or you will all die today.”Evelyn’s breath caught, her fingers tightening around Lance’s arm.Rachel paled, trembling slightly.But Lance—La
CHAPTER 30
His expression twisted into disgust.“He has caused enough trouble already.”His voice turned ice-cold.“He deserves to die.”Sylvester’s eyes darkened as he signalled to his men.“Seize him!” He ordered.Evelyn’s breath hitched as she saw the soldiers closing in on Lance.Without thinking, she rushed forward, planting herself between him and the advancing guards.Her arms spread wide, her eyes filled with desperation.“Please!” she pleaded, her voice shaking. “My husband has done nothing wrong!”She turned to Sylvester, her eyes burning with raw emotion.“These people have bullied my family for years,” she continued, her voice cracking.“Lance was just trying to protect us!”For a brief moment, the hall fell silent.Then—SMACK!Sylvester gave Evelyn a hard slap.The sound of the slap echoed through the room like a gunshot.Evelyn’s head snapped to the side as pain exploded across her cheek.A stunned gasp rippled through the crowd.Rachel screamed and Lance’s body went rigid.Sylves
