Harvey lifted the perfume bottle, pressing the spray once. The subtle masculine scent spreads through the air, blending in with the silence of the room. The white suit he wore looked perfect on him, contrasting with the black shirt hidden underneath. A black-and-white striped tie hung neatly around his neck, a symbol of his belief-justice always has a firm boundary, like black and white that never mix.

He smoothed his sleeves, his fingers gliding slowly along the fabric. His calm movements showed the habits of someone who was always prepared for the unexpected.

Suddenly, the sound of the door opening broke the silence. Jordan stepped in, his shoulders squared as always. His gaze immediately fell on Harvey. "Mr. Harvey," he said briefly, but meaningfully.

Harvey turned his head, his eyes meeting Jordan's who now stood tall in the doorway. The dark suit wrapped around his assistant's body looked neat, with almost no creases. In Jordan's grasp, a car key glints under the room lights. He

    Stepping into the hall, Harvey raised one eyebrow. "What a party," he muttered softly.The high ceiling was decorated with crystal chandeliers that emitted golden light, making soft shadows dance along the walls. In the corners of the room, foot stands stood in a row, displaying sumptuous dishes with tantalizing aromas. In the center of the hall, a champagne fountain shimmered under the spotlight, golden bubbles rising to the surface before spilling in a graceful stream into sparkling crystal glasses.Classical music flowed softly, permeating the air like a whisper that enveloped the guests' conversations. They stood in small groups, laughing in low tones, raising their glasses in conversations only those familiar with this world could understand.Harvey swept his gaze around, his lips slightly bent to one side. This party was no mere celebration-it was an arena for those accustomed to playing in the shadows of power.A crowd of lavishly dressed guests filled the hall, but Harvey's ke

    Stan was silent for a moment. His eyes widened slightly before he quickly regained control of his expression. For a moment, the room was silent for both of them, but within seconds, a mocking smile returned to Stan's face. A small chuckle escaped his lips, light but full of condescension-the signature laugh of someone used to being at the social top. "That's impossible," he said with absolute conviction. He shook his head slowly, as if he was facing something ridiculous. His eyes glanced down, his lips slightly raised, as if he was holding back a laugh. "Really, I don't get it," she continues, before finally looking at Harvey again, this time with a sharper smile. "You have nothing to be ashamed of," he said, his voice sounding like a teacher counseling a lost student. "What you're saying is so far-fetched. There is no way such a thing could be real." His hands dropped from his chest, and with a casual gesture, he slipped one hand into his pants pocket. His frivolous smile beca

    Hillary froze. Her breath catches in her throat as her eyes fixate on something on Harvey's chest. It was a brooch.It was no ordinary brooch-it had wings that opened proudly, and at its center was perched a gleaming black stone. Its smooth surface caught the light, reflecting it in an intense, almost mystical glow.Hillary swallowed. Her hands trembled slightly as she lifted it forward, as if to confirm that what she was seeing was not just an illusion."That's..." she whispered, her voice so low it was almost drowned out by the party music. "Dragon Tears? No way... How can this guy have them?"The sparkling black stone in the brooch seemed to swallow up the light, creating an intense, almost mystical reflection. Dragon Tears-the rarest stone in the world, something that should only be owned by a handful of people with absolute power.But now, it was perched on the chest of a man who they had earlier despised as a beggar.Hillary felt doubt nagging at her mind. Her hands clenched int

    Erik stood at Julius Claymore's side, his eyes fixed on Harvey's figure. Unlike his two colleagues, Julius' expression was serious. A fine frown appeared on his forehead, indicating displeasure or perhaps surprise at this unexpected situation. Across from them, Harvey looked at Erik with an equally calm gaze. No tension could be seen from him, as if Erik's presence was just a meaningless coincidence. However, in his heart, Erik felt something else. He knew this man. Not as a beggar or an ordinary veteran, but as someone who had led a war. Erik gulped, he thought to himself, "Mr. Harvey?" Erik's mind was spinning fast. "Why is he in Duskvale? Why is he attending this party?" Harvey raised one finger in front of his lips, a subtle gesture that only Erik could catch. A wordless warning. Erik stiffened for a moment, his eyes still locked on Harvey. There was no mistaking it-he recognized the man. Although not part of the military directly, Erik Reinhart had made great contributions

    It was as if fine needles were piercing Stan's head. Harvey's words were like thorns creeping into his head, igniting embers that instantly burned his emotions.His blood rushed up, warming his face to a boiling point. His jaw clenched tightly, while his eyes widened, full of disbelief mixed with anger. His brows were furrowed sharply, forming lines of tension on his forehead.With a rough movement, she turned her body to face Harvey. Chest rising and falling, his breathing sounded heavier. Stan's head snapped up, his gaze pressing, as if he was about to crush his interlocutor with just a glance. "Oh, your mouth really has no manners, huh." His voice was low, almost trembling, yet full of veiled threats.Hillary and Gwen simultaneously turned to face Harvey. Both of their hands were folded in front of their chests, fingers hardened against their arms, as if they were holding back an explosion of anger that was ready to burst out at any moment. Their faces were flushed, not from embarr

    Stan smirked, his lips pulled to the side in an obvious look of disdain. His eyes narrowed, as if he was assessing Harvey like a poor man who had just dug his own grave."Mr. veteran," his voice was low, but full of piercing sarcasm. "Do you realize what you just did?"He raised his hand, his index finger hovering in the air before pointing at the crowd of guests who were still staring at them with various expressions-some dumbfounded, some stifling laughter, and some whispering softly, talking about Harvey like it was a joke too daring to believe."Look at them." Stan waved his arms in a theatrical gesture. "All eyes are on you now. You're deliberately embarrassing yourself just to get attention."Small chuckles could be heard from several corners of the room, although some of the guests were still too shocked to really react. Amidst it all, Harvey remained silent. His gaze was unmoving, cold as the surface of water untouched by the wind.Stan didn't stop there. He rested one hand on

    The three froze in place, glancing at each other with expressions that were difficult to translate. Hillary bit her lip, as if to argue, but the words stuck in her throat. Stan growled softly, his chin raised a little higher, as if refusing to be humiliated. While Gwen, who was usually calmer, finally clicked her tongue.She let out a long breath, then crossed her arms in front of her chest. Her eyes flashed sarcastically as she looked at Erik. “We simply can't donate as much as 200 million dollars,” she said, her voice laden with skepticism. “But does Mr. Erik really believe that this veteran can keep his promise?”Erik responded calmly. He gave Harvey a quick glance, then flashed a faint smile-not a mocking smile, but the expression of someone who knew more than others.He knew Harvey. Not just as a soldier, but as someone who held a high position on the battlefield. However, even with all his knowledge, Erik still did not realize that the man before him was a God of War.More than

    Stan, Hillary and Gwen were frozen in place. Their minds were spinning, trying to make sense of the reality that had just hit them mercilessly. Harvey. The man they'd been insulting and belittling. Not a beggar, not a loser, but someone who was able to donate 200 million dollars with a single touch on his phone screen.Gwen bit her lip, as if hoping this was all a misunderstanding. Hillary swallowed, her throat suddenly dry. Meanwhile, Stan, who was usually full of confidence, could only grin stiffly. Their foreheads furrowed, looking for a way out of this situation.Finally, Stan laughed softly-a forced laugh, more like a face-saving attempt. He glanced at Erik with hopeful eyes. “Forgive us, Mr. Erik,” he said, his voice softer than before. “We didn't really mean those things.”Hillary tried to smile, but her facial muscles tightened, making her expression look more like a stiff grin than a genuine smile. Her eyes glanced at Erik carefully, gauging his reaction. “Really, Mr. Erik Re

    “Security! Take this filthy man out!” Adam screeched, his voice cracking like a whip through the air.Four large men burst through the crowd, their steps steady and alert. But when they reached the front of the circle and saw who was standing with Harvey, their movements suddenly slowed. Their gazes froze, and the once stout legs were now hesitant to act.Meanwhile, Harvey swatted Steve's hand away from his shoulder with a rough stomp. Steve staggered a step back, losing his balance for a moment, leaving several bystanders wide-eyed.In the next second, the click of guns rang out. Four gun barrels raised in unison, pointing directly at Harvey's chest. The pressure in the air rose sharply, like an invisible storm that everyone there could feel.“Stop right there! You've been aggressive to the God of War!” one of them exclaimed, his voice hardened, yet containing a nervous tone that could not be hidden. “You will be punished!”Harvey only turned his head slowly. His gaze swept over the

    The room was instantly tense. Everyone's eyes are fixed on Harvey, as if to swallow him whole. The smile on Steve's face vanished in a flash, replaced by a sharp frown on his forehead. He pulls his hand away and clears his throat softly, as if trying to quell the turmoil in his chest.Steve stared at Harvey, his eyes narrowed, his jaw hardened. His face begins to turn red, not from embarrassment, but from the anger boiling beneath his skin.But Harvey stood his ground. His gaze is calm, not backing down one bit. He met Steve's gaze coldly, as if the anger of the man in front of him was just a passing thought.Steve stepped forward, his steps heavy and full of ego. He stood directly in front of Harvey, then spouted words in a hoarse, stifled voice."Do you know me?"With a quiet gesture, Harvey shook his head, slow and sure."Should I?" he says flatly, but his tone cuts like a cold knife.The room rumbles again, but not with sound-it's with a slowly building anger.

    “Welcoming the God of War here must not be a problem!” Adam's voice was high-pitched, full of pressure. His eyes were piercing, and his jaw was set. “The handing over of ancient weapons to the God of War is a sacred moment. If there are troublemakers...” He turned his head sharply toward Harvey, his final voice suppressed, “...I will not forgive him.”The veins in Adam's neck bulged, and his cheeks flushed with overflowing emotion. The few people standing nearby instantly moved closer to Harvey, as if commanded by contagious rage. Their gazes now turned into cynical glares, as if Harvey had tarnished the honor of the place.But Harvey just stood still. His shoulders did not move, his eyes did not flinch. He swept the crowd with a flat look, as if assessing how much they were ready to bully, but not important enough for him to respond.A single breath escaped her nose-long and deep, like someone stifling a laugh in the middle of a children's ruckus. Then her eyes stopped on Adam. His g

    Adam realized something was off. Since a few minutes ago, Harvey's gaze had never left him. It was no ordinary gaze-cold, piercing, as if it were penetrating an invisible wall of defense.Adam's steps slowed when he finally decided to get closer. His forehead wrinkles, a small crease at his temple signaling displeasure.“Are you after me for something?” his voice was flat, yet firm. “Your gaze is... disturbing.”Harvey didn't answer. He just breathed in slowly through his nose, like he was holding something heavy. His shoulders dropped slightly as the exhale escaped.Then, his eyes moved to the throne-the place that had made him uneasy in the first place. She looked at it intently, her eyelids narrowed, as if trying to read the meaning behind the artificial elegance.Zash and Ken could only stare at the scene with bated breath. Their bodies stiffened.Ken stepped quickly closer, a nervous expression evident. His eyebrows knitted together as he called out softly, half panicked, “Sir, w

    Harvey frowned, as if he couldn't believe the news. How could a rumor of this magnitude go unnoticed by him? Normally, he never bothered with the cheap drama of the rich who were often hungry for sensation. But this time, someone dared to use the God of War's name.What was the intent behind such foolish audacity?His gaze shifted, drawn by something striking at the far end of the room. On the stage, a throne stood majestically, exuding an aura of power that silenced the surrounding crowd. Intricate carvings adorned its surface, as if each curve spoke of glory. Needless to say, the throne was clearly reserved for the God of War.Harvey squinted, his lips curving in a faint smile."Oh, I can see that," he muttered softly, more to himself.Ken and Zash looked over as well.Ken immediately crossed his arms over his chest, his smile wide, full of excitement.excitement."Great, isn't it?" he said, his voice sounding half-proud. "That throne was custom-made in record time. It took extra la

    The day of the God of War's arrival in Rainvale had finally arrived.Harvey stepped into the same building as before-the place where he had met Kyle and Ray. But now, the great hall had changed drastically. Majestic columns towered high, giant draperies hung gracefully, while blazing music filled every corner of the room, raising the spirits of the entire building.With quiet steps, Harvey walked down the hall, his eyes sweeping the entire room with great interest. Every detail of this welcome party whispered one thing clearly-this was no ordinary event. This was a show of power."Great place," Harvey muttered flatly, almost expressionlessly. But his gaze remains sharp, scanning every corner, as if measuring something invisible.Harvey walked casually, blending in as if he was part of the crowd. His face remained flat, showing no hint of tension as he walked down the hall filled with important people.His steps halted for a moment when his ears caught the conversation of two people ne

    With steady steps, Harvey cut through the crowd of passersby around him. They were all busy with their own business, their eyes barely glancing at him. No one recognized him in this place-a situation that made Harvey smile inwardly. Anonymity was a luxury he rarely enjoyed, and this time, he used it to the fullest.The accidental encounter with Whitley earlier was imprinted on his mind, like a small stain on white paper. Harvey sighed softly. He didn't want to let his ruin his mood. So, with a leisurely pace and an observant gaze, he chose to walk away, down the hallways of the building, letting himself sink into silence while watching every corner carefully.Unintentionally, a man in a hurry bumped into Harvey's shoulder, sending the stack of documents in his hand scattering to the floor."Oh, sorry!" he exclaimed hurriedly, bending down in panic to grab the scattered sheets.Beside him, his friend immediately joined him in a crouch, gathering the documents in a haphazard motion."Yo

    Harvey stepped into the building, immediately sensing the busy atmosphere that enveloped every corner. In the lobby, employees milled about with hurried steps, each carrying a stack of documents that seemed to need to be handed over immediately, as if their world revolved around those files. Their movements were so fast, like they were being chased by something unseen, prompting an almost palpable tension in the air.The atmosphere was suffocating, filled with unspoken pressure. Harvey felt his chest slightly squeezed by the endless crowd. He averted his gaze for a moment, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly to calm himself. The sound of his breathing seemed to make room for his mind to refocus, to escape for a moment from the pressing hustle and bustle.Harvey frowned, feeling the irritation that was creeping up on him. What should have been a calm and orderly morning was now immediately greeted with a bustling and anxious scene. In front of this building, he felt like he was bein

    "Did you know? Something big is about to happen in Rainvale!" exclaimed a man with sparkling eyes, bowing slightly towards his two colleagues.His breathing sounded heavy with excitement. In the center of the crowded building, the three of them seemed to create a small space for their own excitement.The noise around them was ignored. They sat tightly, their faces serious yet full of anticipation."The God of War has reappeared!" the man continued, almost in a whisper but with a tone full of admiration."Huh?" The colleague next to him frowned, half in disbelief. "This is big news! We haven't heard from the God of War Kaelvarion in a long time.""It's been three years!" chimed in the third man, raising three fingers in the air as if to emphasize. "I remember very well, the last time I heard about him was three years ago. But why is he suddenly reappearing now?"The man exhaled heavily, his shoulders dropping slightly with the exhale. "I don't know," he muttered, forehead creased in do
