Hearing his wife's great concern for him, Damian smiled.
It was a good thing Damian's subordinates didn't see any of this; had the soldiers seen how Damian was behaving now, they would have felt that the devil had successfully kidnapped their fierce superior.
"You don't have to worry, dear. I already have enough things. This money is all I can give you right now; I've been away for too long. You must have struggled a lot without me, so take it, Alice. You and our daughter deserve the best." Damian looked at Alice with a gentle gaze.
Damian thought he was not wrong in choosing Alice as his wife. He also felt very lucky that God gave him a woman like Alice, who never even thought of remarrying, even though he had been gone for five years without any clear news.
Alice shook her head. "No, Damian, I'm fine."
"Please accept. This is the little I can give you. And please give our daughter whatever she wants because you must have been holding back for too long!" Damian said firmly.
Damian knew that Alice was previously the daughter of a rich man, but she was willing to give up all the luxuries she had just to be able to live with him.
"Alright, I'll take it, but you have to tell me when you need the money. I don't want all your hard work to disappear without you being able to enjoy it," Alice relented, knowing her husband always did what was best for her.
"Honey, you just relax. I don't feel like my hard work is wasted when you guys spend it, and you can also buy that gift for your aunt," Damian replied, chuckling lightly at his wife.
The man missed his wife so much that he still felt everything was like the beautiful dream he had always longed for.
"We don't need to come," Alice quickly denied.
Alice didn't want her husband to be humiliated by his extended family again like before.
"We should come. It's not nice to turn down an invitation, and you can buy anything for your aunt. I've also ordered dresses for you and our daughter; they'll be here tomorrow morning." Damian calmed his wife down.
If he had remained the same, Damian might have agreed with Alice not to attend that sickening event, but things had changed.
Damian had also devised a cunning plan. Of course, the man would slowly avenge what those people had done to him in the past.
"When did you do that? Come on, Damian, I know you're so happy you finally got to meet Davina, but we don't need anything fancy like that. We just need you by our side."
Alice, who continued to refuse his kindness, made Damian laugh even more. He was amused, knowing how frugal his wife was even with the wealth she currently had. Damian was very sure that his wife would not be able to spend nine descendants.
"Don't laugh, Damian!" Alice looked at her husband with a sulking gaze. She was happy that her husband was coming back to her, but she still didn't want him to feel distressed because of her.
Damian, who felt anxious for his wife, immediately hugged his wife tightly, but unfortunately, his cell phone suddenly rang, making him feel a little annoyed.
Seeing Jasper who connected it, Damian's face began to look serious because he knew that his subordinates would not bother him if there was nothing important.
"What's wrong?" asked Alice, looking at Damian confused as Damian let go of her hug.
"There's My boss has a little call. Can I answer it first?" Damian said casually.
Damian didn't want to hide anything from his wife, but he had his considerations at the moment.
Damian did everything only for the good of his little family, considering that his enemies were not ordinary people.
"Of course," Alice replied quickly.
Alice knew that being a soldier must not have been easy for her husband, and Damian now chose to answer the call on the balcony while his wife was washing up in the bathroom.
"What's wrong, Jasper?" asked Damian coldly. The man's sharp gaze began to look around his wife's apartment carefully.
Of course, as an elite soldier, Damian did that to ensure that the place where his wife and little daughter lived was safe.
"Pardon me, Supreme Commander. I just wanted to let you know that the bald man started to carry out a large-scale attack. He tried to frame you by falsifying data that you were trying to defect to an enemy country. I can only say that only the commander can come to solve it."
Hearing his right-hand man's report, Damian's gaze grew colder. He had already guessed that his enemy would definitely carry out another plan to remove him from that elite position.
"Okay, I'll be at the headquarters in half an hour. Gather our men and also send some of the best guards to live next to my wife's apartment. I want those who guard here to be the most competent. And you know what you're doing next, don't you?" Damian commanded, with his eagle eyes watching the neighborhood of his wife's apartment, which was still quite safe.
"I understand, Commander; I will send our men around the mistress." Jasper immediately understood what Damian meant.
"Also, don't forget to make sure that the dress I ordered arrives in good time, and have you taken care of that guy?" Damian continued again because he was not a really good person and let Galvin off the hook.
"I've done everything, Supreme Commander, and now the man has fainted because he was so weak, even though I only gave him an eel." Jasper immediately reported everything.
So, actually, after Galvin was captured, Damian's men kidnapped the man, and Jasper himself led the torture Galvin deserved for insulting his master.
The common eel Jasper was referring to was a trained electric eel. It not only emitted electricity that could sting anyone, but it was also capable of injecting deadly poison in its electric shock.
"Good, and one more thing, please prepare the best gift for my wife's aunt."
"I will do Supreme Commander."
"Then make sure that the hotel where the event will take place will not endanger my wife and child. You should also tell our men that they should hide as well as possible. My wife doesn't know anything now, do you understand?"
"Understood commander!"
"D-Daddy..."
His daughter's cries instantly startled Damian.
The man quickly hung up the call and rushed over to his daughter, who had just woken up.
"Honey, Daddy's here!" Damian immediately approached Davina, who started crying.
Seeing her father's arrival, Davina immediately hugged her father tightly.
Damian also painstakingly calmed his little daughter.
"Daddy won't leave me and mommy again, right?" Davina said between her cries.
Only Damian felt sliced when he got a question like that from his daughter. The man felt that all this time, his daughter must have had a psychological burden because of his absence.
"Honey, Daddy won't leave you, Daddy promises!" Damian replied in a soft tone.
He truly swore in his heart that he would never do anything stupid and leave the little family he had just found.
"Promise?" Davina gave Damian her little pinky, and Damian, who understood what his daughter meant, immediately linked his finger to his daughter's little pinky.
"Daddy promises, baby!" Damian gently kissed the top of Davina's head.
The man also put his daughter back to sleep because Davina looked very sleepy, while Alice, who had been at the door of the room, was just silent, letting the father and daughter spend time together for a moment.
After making sure his daughter was asleep, Damian walked over to his wife.
"Honey, my boss called me. It looks like I won't be able to go home tonight, but I will finish all my tasks quickly. Is that okay?" asked Damian, looking into his wife's eyes with tenderness.
Alice smiled lightly. "Of course, you can do that. I know the task of guarding this country is not easy, and come back when everything is done."
Alice still misses her husband very much, but she knows that he belongs to her and their country.
"I love you," Damian kissed Alice's forehead before he left.
After a brief farewell, Damian quickly drove his car towards his base, but halfway through, a group of people confronted him.
"Get out, you bastard!" the people shouted as they got out of the car and began to surround Damian.

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,”
