The sound of Andreas's loafer steps slowly approached. With a smug face, the man smiled faintly at Harvey. Underestimating Harvey's presence in this place. “Oh, it's a surprise to see you here.”

His footsteps stopped right next to Whitley. Casually, Andreas' hand curled around Whitley's neck, and then he took hold of Whitley's shoulder. He gently stroked the smooth skin of the shoulder, as if it were his own.

The thin, dismissive smile grew wider, as if eager for Harvey to see what he could do. “I don't know what tricks you use, Harvey. However, seeing a poor man like you dressed up like this is very off-putting to me. It looks inappropriate.”

Andreas furrowed his brows and shook his head. It was as if he was forbidding a child to play in the mud.

Whitley snorted, his lips pulled back, making a dismissive smile bloom. His gaze lowered to HArvey, he agreed with Andreas' opinion. “That's right... this outfit doesn't suit you very well, Harvey. You're better suited in a dull, holey t-shi

    A click of the tongue sounded loudly from Whitley's red lips. As if the words of the waiter were not valid. The woman folded her arms across her chest while glaring fiercely at the waitress. “What are you saying, waiter? Did you forget about your partner just now?”“Pardon?” the waiter frowned, he let out a hesitant smile mixed with fear. His breath was slightly held as he felt the pressure from this woman. “Forgot?”Whitley tilted his head, then he glanced sharply at Harvey, as if ready to puncture the man's embarrassment. “You should be doing well, Waiter. Even the information about the waiter named Harvey is incomprehensible to you. Your performance is really very poor. You were hired at such a luxurious party.”The waitress made a face. His eyes lowered slightly, as if avoiding Whitley's sharp gaze. “However, that cannot prove that this gentleman is a waiter.”Andreas then stepped in front of the waiter with intimidatingly firm steps. His eyes were sharp like a predator ready to p

    The crowd of pairs of eyes opened wide as if frozen after Andraes said that. Their minds seemed to drift away, unable to believe what they had just heard.“Huh? He's an important person invited by Governor Rolland West?” A man in a bow tie couldn't take his eyes off Andreas.A blonde woman beside him covered her mouth with the palm of her hand. “Oh, he knows the Governor well?”“I heard Governor Rolland West invited someone very important. Is that the man in question? He's the son of the Brown family, right?” a man pointed at Andreas with confidence. The excitement made all the guests start whispering about Governor Rolland West's special guest.In the guests' minds, getting an invitation to this party was already very difficult. Let alone getting a special invitation. Surely that person was someone very important to the Governor.Admiring glances continued to rain down on Andreas. He really enjoyed the little sounds of praise being showered on him. Before he knew it, the corners of h

    All eyes were glued to the man who held the security guard's hand without fear. Slowly, their eyes opened wide as if they saw something unexpected.One man there noticed the person. He caught his breath and held it. “Wait, isn't he Dean Watson?”The guests froze instantly in their places. Some of their eyebrows rose high, while exchanging glances with each other. Whispers began to flow like waves. One of the women gulped and her mouth began to open. “The Dean Watson you're referring to... That Dean Watson, right?”With his head slightly tilted, the man nodded confidently. Even his jaw hardened as if it could not be shaken. “Yes, Dean Watson, the Commander who guards the northern region of Royota harbor.”The invited guests held their breath for a moment, their eyes rounded even more as they glanced at the Commander. They began to whisper whether the person in front of them was really Dean Watson.The man glanced at Dean Watson with admiring eyes. Slowly, his mouth opened. “Commander D

    “What?” Andreas tilted his head slightly, his eyebrows knitted together like intertwined threads. His eyes narrowed further, sweeping Rolland's face questioningly.Andreas took a deep breath, his chest puffed out firmly with confidence. His movements, though slow but firm, seemed to give the impression that he was not a random person. Even though he knew that the person talking to him was a respected figure in Duskvale, it was not enough to suppress Andreas' ego. To him, his uncle had contributed to this country. He was a hero who needed to be honored. So Andreas also needed to be honored as a member of his family.The look of respect for Rolland faded, Andreas' gaze became more challenging. “Governor, do you not know who I am?”Andreas pointed at himself with a slight smug grin. As the son of the Brown family, surely many people should recognize him.Rolland furrowed his brows like intertwined threads. He took a good look at the young man's face, he didn't feel like inviting a young

    “Uncle Cole?” Andreas's eyebrows knitted together like threads, the tips bending downward. His lips curled downward, along with the disappointment he felt. His mind was like a tangle of threads trying to make sense of Cole's words, but the more he tried to unravel the more lost his mind became. “Why is Uncle Cole suddenly saying this?”Andreas pointed at Harvey's face with a sharp movement, breaking the air in front of him. His eyes widened, as if his eyeballs were emitting lightning, full of fury like a newly ignited fire. “He's a troublemaker? Why should I apologize to him?” Andreas' jaw hardened to say it. His voice trembled, full of pressure.Cole opened his eyes even wider, the anger and worry in his eyes becoming more and more implicit. With a nervous movement, he pulled Andreas to his feet. “You don't understand. Hurry up and apologize, damn nephew!”Andreas clenched his teeth even more, making his jaw hard to hold back his emotions. His heart was beating faster with bated brea

    Harvey and Governor Rolland West are now sitting in a quieter room. Jordan stands behind Harvey straight and ready. It was a spacious room with beautiful Dutch teak furniture. The atmosphere was quieter than the party room.However, even the atmosphere of the room could not make the sweat on Governor Rolland West's face stop flowing. His heart was still racing as he watched Harvey calmly drinking coffee from his cup. It was as if the calmness was like deep water ready to wash him away.“Mr. Harvey. Ah, I mean, General,” Rolland called out in a trembling voice. He could feel the presence of Harvey who had a strong aura all the way down to his hair. For some reason Rolland felt that he had to be careful stringing words to Harvey. “I was really surprised that you were someone so young.”Rolland gave a smile that he did as softly as possible. He was trying hard despite the fact that doubt and worry were still clearly depicted on his face.Harvey glanced over calmly. His gaze was sharp and

    “I can tell you right now, Mr. General,” Rolland said with a fiery look of conviction in his eyes. It was as if he had been waiting for this moment and didn't want to delay it any longer.Harvey calmly turned to Jordan. Then he slightly nodded his head as a sign that this was going to be an intense conversation and Jordan should listen to him. Jordan with a faint smile nodded. He seemed to be ready for everything that Harvey and Rolland West were going to talk about.Harvey returned his attention to Rolland West. Harvey calmly rested his back against the back of the sofa. “Okay, tell me.”Rolland smiled, excitement stirring within him. He eagerly corrected his sitting position. “Very well, Mr. General.”Rolland prepared his disks to tell what was on his mind. He knew that if the person in front of him was a strategist, he would have an idea of one's weaknesses and strengths. In fact, for someone who had once managed a large military force, Harvey must be very experienced in dealing w

    Jordan looked up at the soldiers, their shoulders held high with confident steps that stomped the floor. Their chests puffed out, faint smiles gracing their faces as if the world was spinning for them. Jordan's breathing stopped for a moment, then his chest felt heavy. His vision blurred for a moment, and images of the past began to flash through his mind.He saw himself amidst the dust and smell of gunpowder, the same sound of arrogant laughter echoing in the air. His fingers gripped the edge of the table, trying to intimidate his senior.“You're so weak!” Jordan exclaimed after successfully slamming his senior in an arm wrestling match. He laughed loudly like a madman. Then he picked up the water bottle and downed it.With slow steps, he approached his senior who fell down beside the table. He was Bradly, the one who lost the arm wrestling match with Jordan after yelling at Jordan for calling Bradley weak.Bradley's friends approached with burning anger, wanting to get back at Jorda

    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.

    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

    "...I'm sorry," Vanessa whispers, her voice almost drowned out by her own breathing. Her eyes look down deeply, as if she can't bear to look at Harvey. Her fingers gripped the hem of her shirt tightly, trying to hold back the turmoil of guilt rising in her chest. "I... I misjudged you. Someone as good as you... can't be a mobster."The words came out softly, yet heavy, like a burden she was finally releasing after a long time. Vanessa took a deep breath, letting the air fill her lungs, hoping the tightness would evaporate with it.From the beginning, she realized one thing-Harvey had never treated her like an object or a medium of exchange, unlike the men she had met before, who always looked at her with hungry or ambitious eyes. Harvey, somehow, always stood between her and danger, protecting her... without asking for anything in return. For the first time, that sense of security felt real.Although Harvey was one of the investors in Q-Entertainment, Vanessa never felt she had any ex

    A subtle clink was heard as two crystal glasses touched, breaking the soft silence of the night. The dim light from the chandelier bounced off the surface of the red wine, creating a warm glow between them."Cheers," Vanessa said softly, her voice husky and sweet like the whisper of the night breeze. She looked up at Harvey with a faint smile, her lips touching the rim of the glass as she took a small sip of the red liquid.Harvey raised his glass and took a slow sip, his gaze fixed on the woman before him.Vanessa took a small breath as the aroma of wine filled her chest. She placed the glass back on the glass table, her fingers still gently curled around the neck of the glass."You're right," she said, her voice a half-whisper, "it's warm."Their eyes met for a moment, and in that gaze... there was something unspoken, but deeply felt.A small smile spread across Vanessa's face, like the petals of a flower slowly opening in the evening light. Her eyes shone, reflecting the twinkling

    "Ha... ha ha ha... finally! I got you!"Alvaro's laughter shattered like broken glass-loud, unstable, and full of madness. His chest heaved, fueled by an adrenaline rush that had yet to subside. With hands still sticky with blood, he shook his face as if to get rid of the remnants of the fear that had gripped him earlier.Then he opened his eyes.Smoke was still billowing from the Glock pistol in his hand. The tip of the muzzle was pointed right at Harvey's face-a face now covered in blood, with a gaping hole in his temple. The body wobbles, then falls to the floor with a silent dug that hits Alvaro hard in the ear.Alvaro stared at the scene with narrowed eyes, as if carving it into his memory. That second felt like the greatest gift of his life.His jaw hardened, then the laughter erupted again, wilder than ever."Ha... ha ha ha..."His hands clenched into fists. His shoulders rose with unstoppable laughter."HA HA HA!"Alvaro's laughter erupted, uncontrollable-loud and guttural, li

    "Humph! Damn it!" Alvaro roared as he pulled the gun back, but before he could fully raise it, Harvey's hand had already slapped the weapon hard. The gun was thrown, spinning in the air before falling and bouncing on the floor with a loud clanking sound.With one hand holding Alvaro's head, Harvey pressed deeper, forcing the man's face closer to the surface of the table. Alvaro's forehead is crushed hard, almost touching the stale coffee stains that have yet to be cleaned. It's as if he's no more valuable than the dried dirt there."Don't try anything funny, Alvaro." Harvey's voice is flat, but his coldness is like ice piercing into your bones.Alvaro gritted his teeth. His face was bright red, his breathing ragged like an animal that had just been snared. His muscles tensed, trying to resist, but Harvey's pressure gave him no opening. He shook violently, not from the cold, but from the anger and panic that had accumulated together.All the muscles that were once confident now lost th
