Julia, who felt goosebumps hearing Damian's voice and gaze at her, quickly took out her cell phone. Julia's body reflexively did all of Damian's orders; it seemed to be a natural reaction of Julia, who wanted to defend herself.
The owner of the building that Julia called came quickly because it happened that the man was visiting one of the units in the apartment.
"Mr. Brown, you finally came. Look at that poor man who dare to ask me to call you. Look, his gaze looks like he wants to kill me. Let's quickly kick him out, so that he realizes that poor men like him don't deserve to be in this luxurious apartment of yours." Julia immediately grumbled. The woman looked at Damian with a proud look. "You can see for yourself the clothes are so messy, the air here is stained because-"
Whoop...
A hard slap flew into Julia's face; the woman rounded her eyes and quickly held her face, which was already reddened by the sudden slap she received.
"Boss, what's wrong with you? Why did you slap me? Ah yes, I know you're angry because I didn't kick him out sooner. Relax, I'll-"
Slap...
Before Julia could continue her sentence, a second slap landed on her face without warning, and of course, it also surprised Alice.
Alice now turned her gaze towards Damian as if the woman was asking for an answer, but Damian just nodded his head slowly towards his wife while muttering. “Relax, I'll tell you everything you want to know.”
“Shut up! Or you want me to kill you now!” Brown's shout, full of annoyance, made Alice, who had not had time to reply to her husband's words, turn her gaze back to Brown and Julia.
Alice saw that Brown's face was wet with sweat, and Alice wondered even more in her heart because she knew how the owner of the apartment had been protecting Julia. Now, the man turned to attack the woman after he saw her husband's face.
On the other hand, Julia could now only keep her mouth shut; the woman had a wild thought that what had happened to her might have been influenced by the poor man she had insulted earlier.
Brown quickly approached Damian. The man immediately took off his hat and cupped his hands in front of Damian in a very respectful manner. “Please forgive me, sir, I was wrong; I shouldn't have let that woman make you feel upset.
Seeing how obedient Brown was to Damian, Alice and Julia both had complicated thoughts in their heads, especially for Alice. The woman was very confused about everything that was happening to her now, but before she could ask her husband, Julia was making a scene again.
“Mr. Brown you've got the wrong person, that poor man doesn't deserve your respect, he's not-”
Slap...
Slap when Julia got back, this time Brown hit the shameless woman harder than before. Brown even kicked Julia's leg, making her kneel down immediately.
“Shut your smelly mouth, Julia!” Brown also quickly knelt down in front of Damian. “Sir, I'm sorry, I'm really going to drive this crazy woman out of your sight,” Brown pleaded even more anxiously to Damian.
“What are you saying Mr. Brown, she's just-”
“Shut up Julia! She's not someone you can touch!” snapped Brown fearfully after he saw Damian's eyes watching him.
“Fire her,” Damian ordered curtly, as he didn't want to see the show any longer.
“Yes sir,” Brown immediately got up and walked over to Julia, who was still kneeling. “I'm firing you and leaving this place immediately, not only that. I will make sure that no one will help you. If anyone does, then don't mention my name, Brown!”
This time, Julia felt that she was truly finished, as she knew Brown's threats were no joke. Julia quickly grabbed Brown's leg to ask for guardianship, but Brown quickly kicked her instead.
At a critical moment like this, Julia's little brain finally started working. “Sir forgive me, I was wrong.” Julia knelt down to beg Damian for forgiveness, but before Julia could grab his leg, Damian quickly moved away because he didn't like strangers touching his precious body.
Julia, who was not out of her mind, wanted to grab Alice quickly, but Damian was faster than Julia. Damian pulled his wife's body even more against his broad chest.
“Get her out of my sight, and here's my wife's rent.”
Brown only glanced at the wad of money Damian had given him. “No need, sir, I will make sure this woman will not disturb your comfort again.” Brown refused quickly. He dared not accept the money.
“Take it,” Damian forced, and Brown, with trembling hands, took the money.
“Thank you sir, I promise nothing like this will happen again.” Brown quickly pulled Julia's body roughly because the man also couldn't bear to deal with Damian any longer.
Brown pulled Julia's body into the elevator, and once on the ground floor, Brown cruelly dumped Julia just as Julia had done to Alice earlier.
“You've been dealing with the wrong person. One more thing, don't ever appear in front of me or that person. If you persist, then I can't save your life like now,” Brown said in a cold tone because Julia almost pushed him into the ravine.
“Mr. Brown I'm sorry, I-”
“Didn't you see the message I just sent you?” snapped Brown out of patience because before the horrible incident happened, he had sent a message to his mistress.
“What do you mean?” Julia quickly picked up her cell phone and opened the message Brown had sent her. The woman's eyes immediately rounded because she was so shocked after reading the message.

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,”
