“How did that happen? I heard that you were very fond of Mrs. Whitley Smith.” Jordan wrinkled his forehead. He was too shocked to hear the news.

“Didn't I ask you to talk about your identity to Mrs. Smith months ago? I thought you already said that.”

Harvey shook his head slowly. “I didn't. That woman doesn't deserve to know.”

Harvey glanced quietly at Jordan. “She's been having an affair with another man.”

Jordan was stunned. She was speechless after hearing Harvey's words. For now, he didn't know what to do. He could only see how stern Harvey's expression was in the face of this situation.

This was quite puzzling, and it even replayed in Jordan's mind. “Why would a woman throw away a general like this? Is that woman stupid?”

The atmosphere became quiet. Jordan needed to break the silence. “General. So, are you able to return to the war?”

Harvey turned his head without replying to Jordan's question.

Jordan took a breath. “Will you be returning to your position, General?”

Jordan gave Harvey an expectant look. Hoping that Harvey would give him the answer he wanted.

Three years ago, Harvey left his post to live like a civilian. That was how William Smith found him to be a commoner.

Harvey glanced at Jordan's cat-like gaze asking for food. However, Harvey firmly refused. “No, no, no. I will remain a civilian.”

Jordan frowned. Harvey was no longer tied to Whitley and the Smith family. Why would he not want to return to his position? This was enough to make Jordan confused.

It had been a long time since Harvey had enjoyed this kind of leisure time.

Jordan carried Harvey's bag. "General, let's go to your villa."

Jordan led Harvey to his lambo car. Then he opened the door for Harvey. They both climbed in and sped off to Harvey's villa. It was a large house. It was the villa that Harvey had abandoned, but was looked after by Jordan.

They both entered the house. Harvey placed his bag on a chair. He did not sit down immediately. He turned to face Jordan.

Jordan stood tall in front of him. “What is it, General?”

Harvey looked at his subordinate very casually. “Later, someone will report me to the police. Soon, there will be police looking for me.”

Jordan immediately furrowed his brows. “Huh? Who would dare do that to a general? How rude of him! I'll teach them a lesson.”

Harvey slightly looked at the back of his right palm. There was a trace of blood there. Then he looked calmly at Jordan. “That's the work of my wife's mistress.”

Jordan narrowed his eyes. In her opinion, it was something that should not be done to someone as big as Harvey.

Harvey exhaled. “Leave it alone. I want to see what he can do. Besides, I want to take revenge at them more viciously.”

Jordan was silent for a moment. Harvey stared ahead with a very cold face. If there was a fire in front of him, it would probably freeze instantly. Jordan loved that stare, a strong stare from Harvey. During the war, Harvey had often seen his comrades and men die. He would stare coldly like this if he was going to take revenge. And when he did, the enemy would be wiped out.

Jordan swallowed. “All right, General. I will prepare everything. Anyway, do you need anything else, General?”

Harvey sat down. “I want to rest. Go on.”

Jordan nodded respectfully. Then he slowly left the place. After he closed the door, he was sure that something big was going to happen. Because he had seen Harvey getting serious about doing something.

The next day, morning came. Harvey was eating the breakfast provided by the maid at Jordan's house. It was a morning meal that was enough to energize and warm up the body. Harvey savored it slowly.

A moment later, Jordan came over with a document. “General, this is exactly as you said.”

Jordan laid out the documents for Harvey. “There really was a report about your crime. That person reported you to the police.”

Harvey wasn't very interested in the documents. “So?”

Jordan pulled back the document. He took a breath. “They took the easy way out. They have some police contacts at the central police station. By giving those cops a little money, they think they can get you arrested. They've also lined up a good prosecutor.”

Harvey nodded. “Then we'll repay their bad deeds.”

Moments later, Harvey and Jordan headed to the downtown police station. It was a large place with several buildings and a large training center. Harvey and Jordan are walking from the parking lot to the main building. Currently, they wanted to meet one of Jordan's acquaintances who was inside this office.

Just then, a white BMW suddenly stopped in front of them. Slowly, the window of the car opened. A head with sunglasses smiled dimly at Harvey. His lips were turned up one side, and this person's face was quite annoying.

The man named James raised one eyebrow. “Oh, you even came to this place yourself to turn yourself in? Look at this loser. In these shabby clothes, you want to fight Mr. Andreas Brown. You'd better bow down and break your own nose in front of Lord Andreas. Maybe he will rethink about your punishment.”

James gave a small chuckle. He deliberately teased like that to provoke Harvey. Harvey did not bother about this. “Tell your lord to bow down and lick my feet so he can be free.”

James' laughter immediately stopped. His face became grim. He angrily got out of the car and slammed the door. His breathing became heavy and short.

He glared at Harvey and pointed at his face. “This bastard... how arrogant of you to say that.”

Harvey replied with a casual look despite the man's glare. Instead, the man turned his gaze to Jordan. Unlike Harvey, Jordan's clothes looked neater as he was wearing a suit.

He pointed at Jordan. “Is it because of this man that you've become arrogant, loser? This won't change the fact, you'll still be arrested and rot in jail! Because of what? Because you're a rat in a dumpster. Haha!”

Hearing that, Jordan's blood rose. He took a step forward to hit this man. However, his steps immediately stopped when he saw Harvey raise his palms up to his face, gesturing for him to stop.

Harvey tilted his head. “So you're the one Andreas hired? You turned out to be quite problematic.”

The laughter on James' face faded. He furrowed his brow with emotion. It was infuriating to hear the word problematic come out of Harvey's mouth.

Harvey could see the change in expression. It was a sign that James was responding to his words. “You got 400,000 dollars from the Brooks family to take care of the family's drug scandal. Your career as a lawyer will be instantly ruined if that case goes public.”

James glared. The muscles in his neck popped. “Shut up!”

    Jack Orland's threat spread like wildfire through dry grass. Within hours, the atmosphere of the city changed drastically.Citizens who previously only blasphemed the God of War through angry comments on social media now took to the streets. But it wasn't to seek refuge-it was to hunt him down.They wanted to capture Harvey. Turn him over to Jack. Because what they think about is not the truth... but their own safety.Panic is rampant. In the midst of fear, logic slowly falls away.People came out of their houses carrying makeshift weapons-iron sticks, kitchen knives, even old rifles. They formed small groups, combing the corners of the city, chanting the name of the God of War like hunting game.This was the little chaos that Harvey had warned about earlier. Alex stood at the second floor window of the headquarters, watching the crowd grow wilder. His face hardened, hands clenched into fists, but Harvey's orders still rang out.He gritted his teeth. Why in the world would they keep qu

    Vanessa stared at her phone screen with a hardened jaw. Her thumbs stopped scrolling when her eyes fell on one of the latest posts: again about the God of War.Almost the entire homepage was filled with bad news - vicious slanders about the bombing. Provocative headlines spread like a plague.Her hands gripped the phone so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Her breathing was ragged.Damn it. Her efforts so far were like froth-nothing. Negative comments flooded in, as if the world had decided who was at fault."How can people be so stupid?" he grumbled. Her forehead furrowed deeply, then without thinking, she threw her phone on the bed.The screen was still on. The flame reflected in her eyeballs-burning with more than just anger.Vanessa had spent two days responding to those comments. Two days of sitting down to reply one by one, hoping to turn public opinion around. But all she got was sore eyes, aching shoulders, and a head that kept buzzing like a machine that never shuts off

    All eyes were on Harvey. None of them dared to make a sound, as if the room was holding its breath waiting for his answer. But Harvey remained stoic, his eyes fixed on the now-dark monitor screen. His arms are folded across his chest, and from his lips comes a slow, heavy, yet controlled sigh.Slowly, she turned her gaze toward Jordan. His gaze was sharp, calm, yet meaningful."Find out where the television station got the information from," he said in a low but firm voice.Jordan nodded quickly, then stepped out without a word, his steps firm and purposeful.In the room that was beginning to feel cramped with tension, Alex stood up from his seat. His shoulders were tense, and his steps were wide as he approached Harvey. "General, I'm going out with Mr. Jordan. If we both move, we can catch the--"However, his sentence was cut short. Harvey's gaze hit him like a wall of steel-sharp, cold, and intimidating. Alex froze, tongue-tied. The look in Harvey's eyes alone was enough to silence

    A woman's footsteps sounded fast down the city sidewalk. Her hair was flowing under a wide black hat, while sunglasses and a mask covered most of her face. Despite her neat disguise, people's eyes were still on her. Some just glanced at her, while others looked twice.Next to her, a large man walked in an alert position. The black suit he wore hid his muscular build, but his eyes were alert and sharp. The thin mustache on his face added to the stern look.Vanessa lowered her face, trying not to attract any more attention than she already had. After returning from the commercial shoot, her pace was quicker than usual-not because she was in a hurry, but because of the uncomfortable feeling that had been haunting her since leaving the building.She glanced to the side, at the man walking by her side."Mr. Jordan..." she murmured softly, almost as a whisper. "Why do I feel like Duskvale is becoming... unsafe?"The mustachioed man--Jordan, now wearing civilian clothes as a disguise-grinned

    The room sank into silence. Blank stares crossed between the bigwigs seated around the big table, but none of them dared to open their voices. The news they had just witnessed seemed to silence all courage to speak.The truth finally slapped them: all the accusations and rumors that had been directed at Harvey were... wrong. But the problem was not just that. They knew it was wrong, but none of them knew how to convey the truth to a public that was already consumed by public opinion.Jordan let out a long breath, setting his pace calmly before moving closer. His face was stern, his voice flat but full of meaning."As I suspected," he said, breaking the silence, "They've come up with a big plan. Not just to bring you down, General... but to overthrow the entire foundation of public confidence in the God of War."Several people at the table turned their heads, some frowning, others looking down. Jordan continued without hesitation."I suspect that this strategy was originally prepared f

    Vanessa looked into Alex's eyes. Her heart thumped loudly inside her chest, like it was about to jump out. She didn't recognize this young man, but from the cold gaze and the aura emanating from his body, Vanessa knew-this man was not just anyone.There was a hidden power behind his eyes, a power that made Vanessa's body seem to freeze. Not even Rio had ever made her feel this small. Unconsciously, she lowered her face, as if that gaze could strip her mind bare.Footsteps approached. Jordan appeared beside Alex, placing a hand on his shoulder."Calm yourself," he said softly, but meaningfully. "Don't you realize about her?"Alex returned to watching Vanessa closely, his eyes sweeping up and down her body in no hurry. Alex's forehead wrinkled slightly when she caught a familiar ripple of subtle energy. Instantly his eyes narrowed, and his realization struck like a bolt of lightning.Harvey.Of course, he thought. Only Harvey could have implanted such a ki imprint.Alex's eyebrows rose,

    A rumbling sound hit the air like the boom of thunder exploding too close. Glasses rattled on the table, and the chandelier swayed gently on the ceiling of the restaurant."What's going on? What's that sound?""There's an explosion from downtown!""Look! That building... is on fire!"Panicked voices crowded into each other, growing into a cacophony that engulfed the room. Chairs creaked, hurried footsteps hit the marble floor, and patrons began to rise from their respective tables, some dragging their partners, others simply focused on finding a way out.Vanessa froze for a moment, her eyes staring out the large window that now displayed the flames in the distance. Black smoke soared, billowing into the night sky like a cloud of wrath that had just been unleashed.Amidst the chaos, Harvey was already standing upright. His shoulders were stiff, his jaw hardened. His eyes were locked on the source of the explosion-the building that was now lit up like a giant torch in the center of the

    Vanessa's fingers trembled as she touched the phone screen. In that instant, the "send" button was pressed-and the message flew away, irrevocably.Just as quickly, she flopped onto the bed. Her body was immersed in a clump of blankets, while both palms hurriedly covered her face. Her breath was held, as if her lungs were reluctant to accept air. Her face heated up, blushing as if burned by shame that could not be suppressed.Her left hand tightly grasped the edge of the pillow, as if holding on to the only thing that could dampen her racing heart."I... I sent it," she whispered barely audibly, as if afraid it was real.It had been three days since Vanessa had set foot back in Duskvale. The morning mist that hangs over the small town hasn't changed much, but her heart is filled with a new wave of uncertainty. The news that Harvey had also caught up with her felt like a small bolt of lightning striking her chest-sharp, unexpected, yet hopeful.That's what prompted her to send the messa

    “What a mess, huh...” Vanessa murmured softly. Her gaze lowered, staring at her own fingers clasped tightly together in her lap. She had never imagined that a figure as big as the God of War, who had only been heard of through rumors and legends, was so close-and chose to live a normal life in the same city as her.Silence fell after that. Harvey did not answer. There was no explanation, no defense. His silence seemed to represent everything he didn't want to say.Harvey started the car engine again. The sound of the engine breaks the silence between them. The car drove slowly, down the streets of Rainvale, which were still busy even though night had fallen. The city lights reflect on the window pane, casting a faint shadow on Harvey's face that remains calm, yet feels increasingly distant.Vanessa looks out the window, realizing that their journey to Duskvale is not just about distance, but also about choosing a different path in life from the world that once shaped Harvey.As Harvey
