Finn's gaze shifted to Monica. Before coming here, he had gone to his brother's house and learned he was going to meet John. Finn had asked Sean to pass a message to John that he wanted to buy a car at his showroom and inquired about getting a discount.At that time, Sean refused angrily. But seeing Monica's attitude, he thought Sean had passed his message to John.A smug smile was fixed on Finn's face as he agreed with Monica, "Yes, I'm the person you meant."Anna admired this and praised him, "Baby, so your brother really knows John Mason?""Of course," Finn replied proudly.In his heart, he was grateful to Sean. He didn't expect his brother to ask John to give him special treatment. Now he could show off in front of his girlfriend and these country bumpkins.Finn looked at Callen with an arrogant smile, "You see that? My brother is close to John Mason.""So?" Callen asked indifferently.Finn's face turned annoyed, "Then you should know the place and apologize to me!" he pressed."F

The four of them waited, their bodies shaking. They hoped Callen would forgive them if they begged like this. If the two guards had already regained consciousness, they might also be kneeling with them.John didn't say anything, waiting for Callen's reaction. He didn't want to speak carelessly, fearing he might make things worse.The displeased look on Callen's face only made John more nervous. "S-Should I throw them out?""First, make them stand," Callen replied."You heard Mr. Vade. Stand up, now!" John snapped in annoyance.If they hadn't caused trouble, his relationship with Callen wouldn't be this bad. Everything should've gone smoothly as long as nothing got in the way.The four stood with slightly brighter expressions. They thought Callen meant to forgive them.Sean was the first to beg the moment he got up. "I-I'm truly sorry, lord. I failed to discipline my family. Please don't fire me!"Monica followed, "I'm sorry too. I should've confirmed your words first," she said, tears

Camila's idea actually made sense this time. If soldiers from The Dawnfront got involved, even The Imperial Vanguard wouldn't be able to interfere. Among the three factions, The Dawnfront held the most power because the people supported them.During the war, they were the only ones who stood firm to protect civilians. They guarded abandoned border fortresses, escorted refugees from burning cities, and defended villages from bandit troops born out of chaos.The emperor had appointed their leader as the highest-ranking general, and that was when the title The Unbroken Warlord was born.Still, Ivy wasn't sure Callen knew anyone from The Dawnfront."I'll try asking him." She reached for her phone, planning to call Callen, but the sound of the door being forced open stopped her.Camila's face turned pale with panic, and she pushed Ivy toward the door to see what was happening.Lily came out of her room with a worried face. "Mom, what's happening? Are bad people attacking our house?" she as

Aeron's face hardened. Callen's provocative words only made his anger grow stronger. Ivy and Camila were shocked by Callen's actions, while Sean remained calm, as he already knew his true power.Landon picked up the check Callen had thrown and smirked, thinking it was fake. "Do you know what happens if you forge a check? Especially one from Imperial Bank," he said while shaking the paper.Behind him, Aeron charged forward with a dagger in his hand, aiming to stab Callen.Grab!A hand caught Aeron's arm and squeezed it so hard that he winced in pain."What do you think you're doing?" Callen asked casually.Aeron lifted his head and saw Callen smirking mockingly.Everyone was stunned. To their eyes, Aeron had suddenly appeared right in front of Callen. Even Landon looked shocked.Grinding his teeth, Aeron wondered in disbelief. How did he block my attack? That was my fastest strike!"Let go!" Aeron ordered, trying to free himself.Callen ignored him and instead forced Aeron's hand towar

The receptionist's nod made Aeron freeze. He glanced at the check in shock, not expecting it to be real."Are you sure you're not mistaken?" he asked again to confirm."No, this is an exclusive check from this bank, only given to a few important people," the receptionist replied.She noticed Aeron's confused look even though the check belonged to him, which made her suspicious. "Sir, is this check not yours?" she asked, since the real owner should've known their own check.Aeron stared at it for a moment. Now that it was proven real, his earlier plan would fail. He had no idea how Callen got this check, but he quickly decided to change his plan."What are you talking about? This check is mine!" he snapped, snatching it back angrily. "I was just testing you! I tried to cash it at other banks a few times, but they said it was fake to take it from me!"That reason sounded believable to the receptionist, and she immediately bowed her head. "I-I'm sorry, sir. I thought it wasn't yours beca
