A voice emanated from the darkness, echoing faintly like a whisper that drew attention. “Michael... Michael!” The voice called out, hoarse and urgent, like a chill wind infiltrating the bones. Michael felt the skin on the back of his neck crawl, as if the darkness itself was trying to speak to him.

“Uh...” Michael groaned as he sat up, as if what had just happened had been too much for him. He held his hand to his forehead, somehow still feeling a heavy pressure on his head that made him feel dizzy.

He slowly opened his eyes, everything looked blurry and unclear. It was as if his vision was in water. With his hands, he rubbed his eyes so that he could see clearly.

When Michael opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a large wall with one-way windows. He couldn't see anyone outside.

His breath caught instantly, he stood up from there and looked around. The large room he stepped into was now a punishment isolation room. His chest immediately pounded and his eyes opened wide.

    “Huh, slowpoke!” Jordan snorted, his mocking voice slicing through the air. With lightning-fast movements, he grabbed the door, closed it with a single, almost slap-like blow, then held it shut with his sturdy body from the outside.Michael grasped the doorknob with a grip as strong as a tiger's bite. Then he pulled with all his might while shouting as if he was unleashing some hidden power. The veins in his hands appeared like solid iron pipes.However, the door did not budge no matter how hard it tried. The heat in his hand became a sharp pain radiating down his entire arm. Finally he gave up, letting go of the doorknob and letting his hand droop limply. His breathing was ragged like a fish on land.He clucked his tongue. “Damn it! He locked it from the outside!”Michael's face flushed like hot coals. His breathing was labored, as if his lungs were burning with rage. With a gesture full of emotion, he clenched his hand into a fist until the veins in his hand popped out. Then he forc

    Jordan raised the paper cup to his lips, sipping slowly at the bitter liquid. His tongue stirred the strong flavor of the coffee, while his eyes remained glued to Tony lying on the floor. A faint smile appeared on his face, but it didn't reach his eyes - his gaze remained cold.His face slowly changed. The corners of his lips dropped slightly, and his left eyebrow raised, creating an expression filled with sarcasm. “Hm? You still want to be quiet, huh?” his voice was low, almost a whisper that dragged attention.Jordan stepped closer, his feet scraping the floor casually, creating an unhurried rhythm. The tip of his boot touched Tony's side, nudging him gently. But the body remained still, no response.Jordan let out a long sigh, the air coming out of his mouth heavily, like a weight being released but not completely relieved. His eyes narrowed, losing their previous sharp intensity, like fading embers. “Passed out already,” he muttered, more to himself. “Too bad.”Jordan stepped away

    Michael felt something heavy and pressing around him, as if the air became denser as Jordan approached. There was something invisible-an aura that enveloped the man, squeezing Michael's breath until he unconsciously held it.Jordan stopped just a few steps in front of him, looking at him with calm but dominating eyes. A faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips, as if he enjoyed the discomfort on Michael's face.“You won't get away,” Michael's voice finally came out, slightly hoarse but filled with a tone of threat. He stepped forward, trying to show courage, though his steps were unsteady. “A second-class private like you has no place here! Your rank is below even ours!”Michael raised his chin, his voice now louder, trying to mask his fear. “I've contacted my friends. They'll come at any moment and arrest you! You're finished! You're done!”Michael's legs were wide apart, his body ducked low, and his fists were raised in front of his face ready to strike like a trained kickboxin

    Jordan grinned, the corners of his lips lifting slowly, while his eyes flashed an unpredictable gleam. The piece of wood slammed into the ground with a heavy sound that broke the silence. Hillard and the others froze, their bodies tense as if the air around turned to ice, holding them in place.Hillard inhaled sharply, his chest rising and falling in shock. His eyes darted to his friends' faces, searching for a glimmer of courage. However, they were all rigidly silent, like statues trapped in time.His esophagus felt like sand, forcing Hillard to swallow saliva that did nothing to dispel the dryness. But this was no time to be stunned. He clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white, the chill of sweat starting to seep through his palms. "Don't daydream! He's our enemy. Finish him now!"Hillard's friends snapped out of their shock, realizing that they had to act. Within seconds, they charged at Jordan together, their movements full of anger and panic. However, Jordan moved only

    Someone's fingers move quickly over the keyboard, the sound of rapid, rhythmic typing filling the small room. Occasionally, his right hand would move to the mouse, moving it deftly to select menus on the screen. In the midst of his busy work, Edmund adjusted his ear-mounted TDS, tightening it slightly. His face was so focused, his eyes glued to the row of names on the computer screen, his expression serious, as if he was watching a thriller in a movie theater, undisturbed by anything around him.From inside the TDS, a heavy, stern voice rang out, breaking the silence. “How is it, Edmund? Did you get the data?”Without taking his eyes off the screen, Edmund continued his task quietly. His fingers did not stop typing, but his voice remained clear and confident. “Just a moment... I'm sorting the data. However, everything else has already been taken care of.”The voice of the TDS sounded again, heavier this time, accompanied by a long sigh from the person on the other side. “Aren't you un

    “So this is your level of power?” Jordan fiddled with the penknife, as if it was his leisure game. With a slow motion Jordan bent at the waist with his other hand. “You move pretty well for an intruder.”Edmund furrowed his brow and stared intently at the man before him. His knife throw earlier had been fast enough to kill someone. However, this man in front of him was able to catch him easily. In fact, the uniform he was wearing clearly belonged to a Private Second Class.Slowly, Edmund stepped his left foot forward, setting up a ready position to make a move. Slowly his left hand clenched into a fist, as if ready to fang, while his right hand hid behind. “You can catch that. A Private should not be able to anticipate such speed. Who are you?”Jordan squinted slightly. He slowly scanned Edmund's movements. Since Edmund had asked such a question, he must have known that Jordan was not a Private Second Class. This person would be more cautious and would not hesitate to kill.Jordan exh

    Jordan, the man wearing the Private Second Class uniform was now in the room with Harvey. This place was a closed room located outside the military base. At the moment, no one knew where they were. In Jordan's hands was Edmund's handcuffed body. He dragged the body by pulling the collar behind his neck. Then he placed it in front of the seated Harvey. With slow movements, Harvey tilted his head while looking at the man calmly. His attention then shifted to Jordan, his eyes seemingly asking for a report of what he had done during his time at the military base. Jordan slowly nodded slowly. He stood firm with a confident gaze. “This man is from the country of Daso. I've found evidence that he messed up quite neatly,” his eyes slowly glanced at Edmund who was still closing his eyes. “They are sorting the people in the military base. People who have no competence are left inside the military base, while those who are talented and work hard are taken. Either voluntarily or by force.”

    “I can't believe I'm here again,” Harvey muttered, his voice almost swallowed up by the gentle wind. His sad eyes scanned every corner of the place, as if searching for something lost. His footsteps were slow, as if every trace he left behind carried a heavy burden of memories.The scene dragged him back in time, eight years ago, when his life changed drastically. Harvey remembers the first day he stepped into university, full of hopes and dreams like any other young man. However, fate had other plans. That event - an event he never wanted - forced him to leave college and replace books with weapons. He left for the battlefield. At that time, Harvey received many wounds on his body.Now, Harvey stands in this place, where time seems to have stopped. He had not come for no reason-there was someone hiding here, someone he had to meet in person. His steps are steady, but the shadows in his eyes are cautious. The conversation they were about to have was not only important, but crucial. Th

    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

    "...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
