Every single person in the grand City Royal Garden fully believed Commander Calvin’s announcement. They completely obeyed Dustin’s commands as the acting God of War for the night, treating him with the highest level of royal respect. The elite guards stood like a stone wall around his VVIP table, keeping the crowd at a distance.With the absolute tension vibrating through the air, Ferdinand, Lydia, and Serena eventually got separated from each other in the massive venue. Because it was a gathering of the global elite, they each found themselves wandering through the beautiful garden, meeting people of great influence. They spent time chatting, exchanging warm pleasantries, and discussing high-level business ideas with international merchants and wealthy dignitaries.But despite the luxury around him, Ferdinand was not happy at all. He could not swallow the fact that Dustin was sitting on the highest throne as the representative of the God of War. He felt an intense knot of anxiet

Ferdinand had never felt so small, useless, and completely defeated in his entire life. He stood frozen in the crowd, his face burning hot with intense shame, while his father, Chief Collins, glared down at him like a useless piece of trash. Every single drop of pride Ferdinand had ever possessed was completely wiped out.Up at the high VVIP pavilion, the grand royal party continued with full energy. Classical music drifted through the air, and the master of ceremonies announced that it was officially time for the international dignitaries and wealthy merchants to present their expensive, multi-million dollar gifts to the God of War to honor his global military services.But just as the first merchant stepped forward holding a golden chest, Dustin raised his hand, his deep voice cutting through the microphone."Wait," Dustin commanded smoothly. "Let us pause the gifts for just a brief moment. There is something important we must handle first."Sitting comfortably at the absolute cente

Meanwhile, back up in the grand garden parlor, Serena was still fuming from the ruined pleasantries and the "embarrassing" glass-smashing incident. As she walked toward the exit alone, she was suddenly cornered near the marble pillars by a desperate Ferdinand.Ferdinand looked pathetic, his face pale and his broken arm tightly bandaged under his suit jacket, but his eyes were full of malice as he tried to twist the narrative one last time."Serena! Thank goodness I found you alone," Ferdinand said quickly, stepping right into her path. "You need to listen to me. That village boy Dustin is completely insane! Did you see how he aggressively smashed your glass tonight? He is a total liability, Serena! He has no class, no manners, and he almost caused a military riot in front of global dignitaries!"Serena crossed her arms, her head throbbing. "Ferdinand, I am not in the mood right now.""I am trying to save you, Serena!" Ferdinand urged, his voice desperate. "He is just a clumsy peasa

The second assassin blindly shot several rounds of heavy ammunition, aiming directly for Dustin, but the bullets ripped entirely through his own colleague's chest instead. The sound of gunfire echoed violently across the empty highway. Dustin absorbed the impact behind the human shield, holding the dead weight up as a wall of flesh while his soldier instincts took over completely. He didn't blink or flinch as the metal rounds tore into the body in his hands.With a smooth, practiced movement, Dustin reached down and pulled the dead assassin's sidearm out of its heavy tactical holster. He dropped the useless corpse to the grass and executed a flawless, high-speed military stunt.He rolled hard across the grass to evade the next line of fire, popped up on one steady knee, and raised the weapon. Bang! Bang! He fired two clean, precise shots directly into the foreheads of the remaining two assassins.The gunfire stopped instantly. The two men dropped dead onto the cold pavement, their

With a trembling voice, Mrs. Morgan explained the devastating test results and the high risk of memory loss when Serena finally opened her eyes.“What will happen when my only daughter does not remember anything, her life, her family, her work and who she is” Mrs. Morgan exclaimedFerdinand’s eyes instantly lit up with a wicked, secret joy. Amnesia? he thought, a dark smile forming in his mind. If she forgets everything, I can easily convince her that Dustin is a stranger and that I am her true lover!‘I think I have to kill him before he gets well on the bed, he doesn’t deserve to be he’s I. In the first place, and I am sure no one will come for him, he has no family and I’m sure no one will come for him.’ These are Ferdinand’s thoughts toward Dustin.Wanting to use the tragedy to fully lock in his agenda, Ferdinand grabbed Mrs. Morgan's arm. "Ma, we need to handle that village boy right now before he ruins her recovery, we need to cut him off and break the marriage or what ever he f
