DAMIEN WEST ALMIGHTY SYSTEM

Chapter 6

Nathaniel's jaw locked tight. That letter would kill any chance he had of fighting this in court later. It would seal the deal permanently. But even if he tried to fight it, the video would still destroy him.

He had no way out.

He grabbed a piece of paper and started writing. His hand shook the entire time. When he finished, he threw the pen down and shoved the letter across the bed.

Damian picked it up, read it, then folded it carefully and put it in his pocket along with the signed contract.

"Good. Now we're done. You can have her. I'll take what I want. And we'll go our separate ways."

He turned toward the door.

Megan's voice cracked behind him. "So this is what I mean to you? After everything? You're just going to throw me away like I'm nothing?"

Damian stopped. He didn't turn around. Just looked at her over his shoulder.

"Oh." His voice was flat. Empty. "You don't even know what's coming for you. This is just the beginning."

He looked at Nathaniel next. "A betrayer gets what they deserve."

Then he walked out.

The moment Damian stepped onto the street, the cool night air hit his face. The rain had stopped. The city lights reflected off the wet pavement, casting everything in a soft glow.

Then he heard it.

A sound. Clean. Clear. Like a chime ringing inside his head.

[Completeness check in progress…]

[Verdict: Perfect Comeback! System Overall Rating: S-Rank!]

[Enormous Rebate Acquired: $5,000,000 (five million U.S. dollars) has been safely and legally deposited into your account!]

[Fate Points Increased: +50! Rare Reward Acquired: Ability Point +1!]

Damian stopped walking. He pulled out his phone and opened his banking app.

The number on the screen made his breath catch in his throat.

Five million dollars.

It was real, he stared at it for a long moment. Then he clenched his fists tight.

For so long, he'd been at the bottom. Invisible. Powerless. Stepped on by people like Nathaniel and Megan. But not anymore.

That version of him was dead.

Nathaniel sat in the room with his hands gripping the armrest of his chair so tight that his knuckles had turned completely white. Megan was still pacing around the room like a woman who had lost her mind because she couldn't believe what had just happened to them. She couldn't believe that someone had actually walked into their house, sat down right in front of them, and bashed them without any fear or hesitation. He didn't just catch them off guard, no, he completely dunked on them, made them agree to every single thing he wanted, and they couldn't even lift a finger to stop him. The thought of it made her chest burn with so much anger that she felt like she was going to explode.

Nathaniel wasn't doing any better either. He was just sitting there with his jaw clenched so hard that it looked like his teeth were going to crack any second now. He was deliberately angry, the kind of angry that made a man's whole body shake from the inside out, and he couldn't stop thinking about what had just gone down inside the house.

Megan suddenly stopped pacing and turned to face him with fire blazing in her eyes.

 "Is this what you're actually going to do? Are you going to just let him go like that?" Her voice came out sharp and cutting like a knife.

 "Just imagine what he did here, Nathaniel. He made you stay silent, walked in here and collected the best property you had, the best of them all, and now we are just sitting here doing absolutely nothing. They are just staying there without lifting a single finger. Why? Why are we staying here without doing anything? Are you really just going to let him walk away like that?"

Nathaniel finally looked up at her with cold, dark eyes that had no warmth left in them.

 "No, I'm not. You just have to relax and think about this properly. If I refused to give him what he asked for right there in that moment, then who knows what he would have done? He could have posted all those things online and destroyed everything I've worked so hard to build, and I wouldn't want that to happen at all. Remember, the election is fast approaching, it's right around the corner, and my credibility matters more than anything else at this moment in time. That's the only reason I gave him what he wants, but that doesn't mean I will just fold my hands and do nothing about it." 

He stood up slowly from his seat with a look on his face that could freeze fire.

 "I will not fold my hands and do nothing about it. I know exactly what is going to destroy him. I know what is going to crush him completely and leave nothing behind. You have nothing to worry about, Megan. As I'm speaking to you right now, my men are already in motion. They are going to find that good-for-nothing bastard and make him pay for every single thing he did here today. They are going to get him on his knees and make him beg for mercy. Not just on his knees though. They are going to kill him. He deserves to die for what he did."

Hearing those words come out of his mouth made Megan nod her head quickly with a satisfied smile spreading across her face. 

"Yes, absolutely. He deserves to die. He deserves to die for this nonsense, for this rubbish he just put us through today. He deserves to die, and I'm going to make sure he doesn't survive today."
