"Congratulations, Master! Task One completed! Your reward has already been sent."Damian smiled when he heard the system's notification.He didn't bother checking his reward yet.Instead, he headed to the gym to complete his second task.In his previous life, Damian had known nothing about fighting. He had eventually learned how to defend himself after the apocalypse began, but by then, it had already been too late. What little he learned was barely enough to keep himself alive.This time, he wouldn't make the same mistake.He would make sure his lack of combat experience would never become a weakness again.After finishing at the gym, Damian headed straight to the Cross Oceanic Shipbuilding Complex.It was one of Cross Corporation's largest shipyards, where luxury yachts, commercial vessels, and other marine vehicles were designed and constructed before being sold to clients around the world.It was also one of the assets Damian intended to sell.The moment he entered the largest dry

Charlene blinked repeatedly as she listened to her son.Ruel could only stare at Damian with his mouth hanging open.They had heard every word he said, but neither of them could decide whether they had understood him correctly—or whether their son had finally lost his mind.“W-Wait,” Charlene began. “You’re saying the world will end in three months?”“Yes,” Damian answered.“And the entire world will be flooded?” Ruel asked.“Yes. That’s right.”The married couple exchanged glances.The moment they realized how impossible their son’s claims sounded, they struck him on the head at the same time.“Ouch! Why did you do that?” Damian cried, clutching his head again.“Tell me the truth! What did that woman do to you?” Charlene demanded. “You don’t look like she starved you, so why are you suddenly having thoughts like this?”Damian could only sigh.He had known from the beginning that his parents wouldn’t believe him so easily.“You’ve really lost your mind, Damian!” Ruel added. “I will no

“Mom! Dad!”The moment Damian opened the door, he rushed toward his parents like a child.Eight years.It had been eight long years since he had last seen them.He had regretted allowing them to leave with that group of looters in his previous life. If only he had prioritized his parents instead of everyone else. If only he had—“You fool! What have you done this time?!” Madam Charlene Cross, Damian’s mother, shouted furiously.Before Damian could react, she struck him on the head.He winced and immediately covered the sore spot.“Ouch! Why did you hit me, Mom?” Damian asked in confusion.A second blow suddenly struck his thigh.This time, it came from his father, Don Ruel Cross.“Dad!”His parents pushed him back into the apartment. Neither of them paid any attention to his complaints of pain.“Have you finally lost your mind?” Charlene demanded.She sat on the sofa and continued glaring at her son while Damian rubbed his aching thigh.Ruel sat beside his wife, his expression equally

The entire banquet hall fell silent after Damian announced the termination of Cross Corporation’s deal with Rivers Trading.Adrian looked as though he were about to lose consciousness.That partnership had been his company’s only remaining lifeline. He couldn’t afford to lose it.“N-No, Mr. Cross! That isn’t true! Please reconsider! I’ll—”“Security! Take him away!” Naomi ordered.Adrian frantically shook his head before suddenly dropping to his knees in front of Damian.“Please, Mr. Cross! Don’t do this! I’ll do anything—No! Let me go!”Damian merely looked down at him coldly.There wasn’t even the slightest hint of pity in his eyes.As far as Damian was concerned, this punishment wasn’t nearly enough.Still, watching Adrian beg was satisfying.Fourteen years of Damian’s life had been taken from him. Sarah and Adrian had deceived him, betrayed him, and left him to die so they could steal everything that belonged to him.He would never allow that to happen again.The security guards d

Damian turned to face the crowd.Every pair of eyes in the hall was fixed on him. Shock swept across the guests the moment they saw who was standing beside Naomi.“Is that really Mr. Cross? Gosh, he’s so handsome!”“Wait. Isn’t that Sarah Moore’s ex-husband? He’s Mr. Cross?”“Oh my God! Did she really divorce the real Mr. Cross?”Sarah clenched her fists.Her eyes widened as she stared at Damian. He stood before the crowd with complete confidence, looking proud, powerful, and undeniably handsome.During their four years of marriage, she had never seen any indication that Damian was wealthy. In fact, she had often been the one paying whenever they went out together.“Is this some kind of joke?” Grace asked in disbelief. “Is he really Mr. Cross?”Tyler shot to his feet.“Impossible! How could he possibly be Mr. Cross? He’s been living off Sarah’s money for years! There’s no way he’s the real Mr. Cross!”Adrian, however, couldn’t say a word.A terrible feeling settled in his chest.He se

The entire hall fell silent when Naomi Grant entered.Every pair of eyes immediately turned toward her.Naomi hurried over to Damian.“Mr. Cross, are you all right?”Sarah’s mouth fell open.Her gaze darted between Damian and Naomi as she struggled to process what she had just heard.“Did she just call him Mr. Cross?” Grace asked in disbelief.Tyler laughed nervously.“Well, Damian’s last name is Cross too. Technically, that makes him Mr. Cross.”“Isn’t she his lawyer?” Adrian asked suspiciously.Sarah straightened her back.The very idea that Damian could be the mysterious Mr. Cross was impossible. Her former husband and the chairman of Cross Corporation couldn’t possibly be the same person.“You again?” Sarah asked. “Aren’t you Damian’s lawyer?”Then she let out a mocking laugh.“Did my ex-husband impress you so much that you even followed him here?”Naomi narrowed her eyes and turned toward her.“Aren’t you Sarah Moore, one of Cross Corporation’s project managers? How dare you caus
