"What the hell?!"

Franky Hush's voice echoed in the stressful underground meeting room. His fingers clenched into fists, then slammed into the round oak table with a loud thud, causing the glass in front of him to shake. His face was bright red, the veins in his neck tightening. "Duskvale is like a dead town! It's creepy now!"

All heads turned in one direction-to the man with the dark gray military uniform and two gold stars on his shoulders. Rolland Dean Watson, the commander-in-chief of the western region, sat with his jaw clenched. His eyes were sharp yet calm, like a volcano that had yet to erupt. The spotlight from the lamps on the ceiling cast a cold glow on the emblem on his chest.

"Your area," Franky hissed again, "is almost a mass grave, Rolland!"

The atmosphere at the meeting table was tense. Ten important people representing various sectors of Kaelvarion-from politicians to military commanders-silently froze. Only the faint sound of air conditioning could be heard.

    “I didn't ask your name, you fool!” Jean glared angrily, his face red with rage, breathing heavily. The muscles in his arms tensed as he tried to break free. “How dare you! You dare to stop me, the grandson of a hero! Do you know who I am?!”However, Jordan’s grip remained unwavering. His hands were like steel, making Jean’s efforts seem like a puppy barking at a mountain.Jordan narrowed his eyes, calm yet cold. “A subordinate of Mr. Harvey,” he said flatly, but it only made the room feel more tense.The veins on Jean’s neck bulged as his anger erupted. His eyes were red, filled with rage wrapped in fragile ego. He pointed sharply at Harvey with a trembling finger.“This man—you saw him yourself, didn’t you?” His voice trembled, not from fear, but from being consumed by anger. “He looks weak! I’m sure a single flick of my finger could knock him down. There’s nothing special about him!”Jean straightened his chest, glaring at Jordan with a condescending look.“Unlike me. I’ve reached

    “You still look like a brat!” Jean snapped again, her voice exploding like a bomb in the room. Her tone was sharp, piercing, and full of contempt. “Someone like you—weak, useless—dare to sit in front of my grandfather, Captain Holland, and the true heroes? Have you no shame?”The atmosphere in the room tensed. Some people fell silent, others exchanged glances. The pressure of Jean’s anger seemed to envelop the air, but the man she was targeting showed no reaction at all.Harvey merely glanced over casually. His eyes were calm, almost lazy. Without a word, he rested his elbows on the table and propped his chin on his fingers, as if everything that had just come out of Jean's mouth was nothing more than unimportant background noise.“Really?” Harvey responded casually, almost dismissively. His tone was light, as if the question had been nothing more than a passing breeze.Jean clenched his fists. His face began to flush with anger. He took a deep breath, trying to hold himself back—but

    “Vanessa.”A deep yet gentle voice called out from ahead. The tone was firm, yet it did not lose its softness.Vanessa lifted her face, and her sharp eyes immediately recognized the figure approaching.“Ah, Mr. Jordan. You're back,” she said with a smile behind her black mask. Only her eyes narrowed, indicating a genuine smile.Vanessa nodded lightly. “I don't have much work to do. So I thought, there's no harm in accompanying Harvey today.”Her casual tone implied pride—not about disguising herself, but about being able to be by Harvey's side.Jordan flashed a thin smile. However, his eyes did not smile. His gaze moved above Vanessa's head—right to the top of her head.He raised his hand and pointed to the wavy strands of hair that fell sweetly on the side of her face. “A female bodyguard would usually tie her hair back. Like this, you're still easy to recognize, Miss Vanessa.”“Huh?” Vanessa reflexively touched her hair. Her fingers traced the curtain bangs framing her face. Only no

    Holland's face looked puzzled. His gaze was blank, fixed straight ahead. Slowly, he turned his head to the side, his eyes catching dozens of faces staring at him questioningly-some with anxiety, others with suspicion.Denias raised his eyebrows high. His voice was firm yet sounded slightly panicked. "Captain Holland, what's wrong with you?"He stepped quickly closer, touching Holland's upper arm. "Come on! We have to get to Master Cecil now!"Holland did not immediately respond to Denias' words. His body seemed unsteady, and his hands began to grope his own chest, as if searching for something that wasn't there. Cold sweat ran down his temples, falling drop by drop.His eyes widened-not out of fear, but out of disbelief. Then, as if stopped in time, his body froze. His lips slowly drew into a faint smile, a smile that seemed odd amidst the confusion.He turned his head slowly towards Harvey, his eyes glazed over."You..." His voice trembled, almost choking. "I... don't feel it anymore

    Denias was still rooted to the spot. His eyes stared at Harvey intently, but not out of anger. There was something in that gaze-confusion, fear, and caution colliding with each other.Harvey's aura, which had felt like a wall of steel, now turned into a deep, lurking abyss. It was like standing on the edge of an active crater-quiet on the surface, but liable to explode at any moment.Denias' body did not move an inch. His breathing was almost labored.From behind, someone tapped him anxiously on the shoulder. "Mr. Denias!" he exclaimed sharply. "What are you doing?!"Denias did not respond. His eyes were still glued to Harvey, as if he was reassessing who exactly the person in front of him was.The person behind him called out again, louder this time. "You've just expended ki energy, but you're standing still! He's just a naive young man! Don't let him get away with it! We need to get Captain Holland to the Master before it's too late!"Denias gasped. His reverie was broken instantly,

    Captain Holland writhed on the floor, his face pale. His hands clutched his chest tightly, his breathing labored, as if he were fighting something pressing down on his lungs from within. His forehead and temples were covered in cold sweat, and his jaw was clenched, trying to endure the seemingly unbearable pain.“Captain!” Denias immediately crouched down, trying to prevent Holland’s body from hitting the floor.Two others followed suit, but it was clear they didn’t know what to do. Panic crept into their eyes, while dozens of pairs of eyes from the forum began to watch hesitantly. None of them dared to approach.On the other hand, Harvey stood calmly. His body was straight, his hands still in his pants pockets, and his expression was cold, without a trace of panic. As if what was happening before his eyes had been predicted from the start.“You’re too hasty,” Harvey said flatly, his voice loud enough to be heard to the far end of the room. “Releasing a large volume of ki energy simul
