"What?" Damian immediately got up from his seat. "Try repeating what you said again!" Damian ordered excitedly.
Jasper quickly did what Damian told him, and Damian smiled slightly, listening to all the explanations from his subordinates.
"Forgive me supreme commander, I just want to make a little suggestion. I just want you to return home as soon as possible because I've gotten reports that since the fire broke out, Madame's life has become very difficult and even your little daughter has become the subject of insults from people around her who are jealous of her daughter's cleverness and cuteness." Jasper looked at Damian slowly, fearing that his commander had misunderstood him.
"What are you saying? So would anyone dare to harm my wife and daughter? I won't let them live in peace." Damian immediately picked up the car keys that lay on the table.
Before the man actually walked out of his room, he looked at Calvin. "Calvin I will be on leave indefinitely, so during this time please take care of everything. Let me know if there's anything important."
Calvin, who was given the task, immediately nodded his head respectfully. "Yes supreme commander, I will do everything well."
Damian nodded his head. Calvin and Jasper compactly greeted Damian respectfully before the man left their headquarters room.

It took Damian three hours to drive to the address where his wife was.
The man dressed in army clothes immediately stepped into the apartment unit that his subordinates claimed as his wife's current residence.
Arriving in front of the apartment, Damian immediately moved quickly when he saw a woman being pushed out of the apartment.
Damian quickly and precisely caught the woman in his arms.
"Who has dared to hurt my wife?" snapped Damian in a cold tone. That's right, the woman who was pushed and whom he had saved was his wife, from whom he had been separated for the past 5 years.
Damian's shout managed to make the woman wearing the yellow scarf flinch.
"How dare you hurt my wife?" Damian said again, while Alice looked shocked to see the face that had disappeared from her life for years, although she also felt that the face was starting to blur in his memory.
Meanwhile, the woman Damian had shouted at began to wake up, and the woman looked at Damian with a disgusted look. "Tsk, who are you to yell at me? You're just a poor soldier, so don't act like an oversleeping hero," Julia retorted in a disgusted tone.
The woman was not afraid of Damian at all because she saw that Damian was only wearing somewhat shabby army clothes, and she also saw that his army boots were also somewhat shabby.
"What right do you have to judge soldiers who have fought for the security of this country? Without us, you wouldn't be able to live comfortably like this!" Damian snorted coldly; the man looked sharply at Julia, who had dared to step on his pride as a soldier.
“Save your lectures and who are you? This woman's husband is dead!” snapped Julia once again, as she knew Alice had been living alone all this time.
“I'm her husband, are your ears not working?” Damian continued to glare at Julia.
While on the other hand, Alice looked shocked. She never expected the fantasy that she had been craving to come true; the husband she had longed for for so long now reappeared in front of her. “Da... Damian?” she murmured, but only Damian heard her words.
“It's not my ears that aren't working, it's you!” Julia's yell brought Alice out of her reverie while Damian gently stroked his wife's shoulder to calm her down because he knew that his sudden departure and arrival must have raised a lot of question marks in his wife's head.
“Where have you been?” asked Alice with tears in her eyes, the longing in her chest now bursting forth.
“I-”
“You guys don't play drama in front of me! I don't want to see the touching drama of a long-separated husband and wife because it's so disgusting!” Julia made both of them realize that she was still there.
“But if you want to continue this disgusting drama, that's fine and I'm quite happy if you are the husband because whether you take this woman away or not, you will have to pay all your wife's arrears over the years!” Julia paused for a moment, looking at the two scornfully. “But unfortunately, you don't seem to be the one who can pay all of her arrears,” Julia hissed as she threw Alice's suitcase back into the apartment.
Julia's arrogant behavior made Damian's blood boil. The man gave Julia a sharp look that made Julia a little scared.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I'll be afraid of you?” Julia put both hands on her waist, staring at Alice because she didn't dare to look at Damian directly.
"And you too Alice, your pretty face is a waste if you get a poor man like him." Julia babbled again and looked at Alice with a pitying gaze because she also saw that Alice was very beautiful. "This face of yours can attract rich men, or do you want me to introduce those men to you?" she continued with a mocking laugh at Alice's expense.
Damian clenched his fists. He couldn't bear to see his wife being degraded and abused in front of his eyes.
“How dare you command me?” challenged Julia.
“Call or you-” threatened Damian in a cold tone. In fact, Alice, who was beside Damian, also felt how creepy Damian's tone was now.

He wanted to argue, to shout that Damian was wrong, but deep down he knew the man was right. Ace no longer lived like a human being. He was just a consciousness forced to breathe by a machine. “If we help him now,” Damian continued slowly, "they'll hunt him down again. They would take him to another facility, connect him to a larger Leviathan core. And this time, he would have no more chances to cry."Silence. The auction voices around them continued, but everything felt distant—as if the world had stopped spinning just to wait for Megan's answer.Finally, Megan closed her eyes. Her tears fell silently. A small voice came from her lips, hoarse and broken. “Let him rest. He's been fighting alone for too long.”Damian bowed his head slightly, respecting her decision. He patted Megan's shoulder gently, then turned to Robert. His gaze turned cold but sharp, like a blade ready to strike.Robert nodded slightly. From behind his jacket, he took out a mini trigger with a blue light at

But the other crowd wasn't so lucky.Some people started laughing hysterically, staring at the container with tears in their eyes, as if they were looking at the savior of the world.One woman even walked forward, kneeling down and wailing. “I'll give up my body, my life, as long as I can be a part of it!”Damian took a deep breath. “They've lost control.”Robert stared at the stage, his jaw clenched. “If this continues, we'll all die here.”Mr. R suddenly raised his hand high and the entire room immediately shook.The lights went out, leaving a single spotlight shining on the heart inside the metal container. The old machinery beneath the stage hummed softly, then roared within seconds.From the ceiling, hundreds of red cables descended like roots.The threads snatched and grabbed at the bodies of those who tried to approach the stage. They screamed, kicked, tried to break free, but the threads pierced their skin, sucking something from inside their bodies, like energy, perhaps, or l

Megan was just about to close the communicator when she heard the sound of footsteps rushing quickly from the back hallway. Madam Flower appeared, her face pale, breathing heavily, her eyes filled with anger that she could barely control.“Damian.” Her voice trembled but was sharp as a knife. "You know about those kids, right? You know they're there and you didn't say anything to me?"The room instantly felt tense again. Robert, who was standing on the right, looked at the two of them, then stepped back a little, knowing that this was not a conversation anyone else should be involved in. Megan swallowed hard. She rarely saw Madam Flower so intense—not because of fear, but because of a wound that had turned into embers.Damian slowly turned his head. His expression remained calm, too calm for someone who had just been accused of hiding something so big.“What do you mean?”Madam Flower stepped closer, her hands trembling but her eyes staring straight ahead. “Don't play dumb. The child

“You’re just buying lies,” interrupted the cold-faced masked man. “All you’ve won is synthetic fossils, not the remains of prehistoric creatures. But I,” he stepped forward, “want to offer something more real.”Mr. R smiled faintly, hiding something behind his false calm. “And do you know, sir, that ‘reality’ in this place is the most expensive thing in the world?”“That's why I came with enough money to buy everyone's lies here,” said the man flatly.The room fell silent. Only the sound of the hologram machine hummed softly in the air.Mr. R stared at him for a long time, then clapped his hands once. The stage lights changed to a deep green. The hologram screen switched to a view of the deep sea, dark blue, pitch black, with strange silhouettes moving in the darkness.“All right,” said Mr. R, his voice trembling with theatricality. “Since our guest seems thirsty for reality, I will give you something more than just scientific lies.”The image on the screen changed again. Now it showe

Madam Flower looked down with a tense expression. “What if the President finds out?” asked Madam Flower innocently, because she knew nothing about the cold war between Damian and the President.Charlie looked back at her. “That's exactly the point, Madam Flower. He wants the President to find out.”Damian slowly stood up from his chair and walked towards the stage. His steps were calm, but the air around him vibrated with an almost invisible tension.Mr. R looked at him, bowing slightly, his soft voice coming through the microphone. “Congratulations, Mr. Lark. You are now the official owner of one of the most strategic territories in the world. I hope you know how to protect it.”Damian looked directly into the masked man's eyes. “Oh, I will protect it,” he said flatly. “With the blood of anyone who tries to set foot there.”Silence. Everyone who heard it knew that tone was no joke.On the screen behind the stage, the official transaction sign appeared. Mr. R looked satisfied, but beh

Charlie stared at one of the glass boxes. There was something inside, moving faintly, like someone trying to breathe.He looked at Madam Flower with wide eyes. “Are they auctioning humans right now?” he asked in surprise, because everything seemed so bold.Madam Flower covered her mouth with her hand, stifling a sudden wave of nausea. But before she could speak, the music changed again, the piano chimes from below now echoing louder, vibrating through the marble floor and into the air.The red curtain on the stage moved.Someone walked out.The man was dressed in a perfect black suit, his face partially covered by a silver mask that revealed only one eye, cold, clear, and full of power.“Ladies and gentlemen,” his voice was deep and resonant, “welcome to tonight's final auction.”Madam Flower stiffened. Charlie gripped her wrist gently.Mr. R looked at the guests, then slowly raised his hand toward the first box. “And for our opening item is something even shadow hunters would envy,”
