“Killian, you're too slow!”

Choi sighed loudly, glaring at his young companion who was hobbling around carrying a tool bag. His face looked impatient, one hand on his waist, while his head tilted to the side, staring at Killian as if the man had just made a fatal mistake. “Hurry up! The people in the elevator must be panicking!”

Killian, a young technician who had only been on the job for ten days, broke into an awkward little trot. His breathing was slightly labored, and cold sweat began to break out on his temples. Arriving in front of Choi, he grinned hesitantly, his fingers scratching the back of his head. “Sorry, Mr. Choi. I went to the restroom first.”

Choi closed his eyes for a moment, then let out a long breath like a tired parent dealing with a wayward child. With a resigned expression, he just shook his head lightly. “Never mind, hurry up! The elevator is on the fourth floor. If they panic, we'll get sprayed first.”

The two of them broke into a small run towards the elevator

  • Harvey 301-2

    Harvey didn't say a word. He just stood up straight, glancing briefly at Arden. The glance was brief—but it conveyed a lot of unspoken things. Pride. Recognition. And maybe... hope.Harvey's other followers were just as silent. Not a single one spoke up in defense or rebuttal. They didn't need to. Their silence reflected a deep-seated conviction—a belief in the man who had shaped them.They knew exactly how Harvey chose someone to train. It wasn't random. That person had to have great potential—a hidden light that only those sharp enough to see it could recognize.The training Harvey provided was also different from that of ordinary soldiers. His technique of using ki energy was efficient, going straight to the core of power, without any frills. In a much shorter time, his students could exceed limits that many people considered impossible.Even Vanessa Reid—who had only been training under his guidance for three months—had reached a level of power that left experts speechless with di

    Sir Kaelan blinked rapidly, trying to process what had just happened. A hesitant smile formed on his lips, but his eyes were filled with resentment that he was trying to hide.He chuckled softly—a sound that sounded more like a desperate mockery.“Arden... why are you babbling such things?”His staff rose slightly, its tip pointing incredulously at the boy.“How much did Harvey pay you to lie like that? Don't tell me you think people here will swallow your nonsense hook, line, and sinker?”Whispers began to creep among the audience like sly snakes. Some of them moved closer to each other, hiding their suspicions behind hands covering their mouths.“Huh? Come to think of it... maybe the kid really was paid,” muttered someone with raised eyebrows.Other audience members nodded quickly, their eyes narrowing as they tried to remember. “Yes... every time he fought in a tournament, there was always something odd. His victories... too coincidental. Too controversial.”The suspicion spread qu

    Sir Kaelan turned his gaze to Vanessa. The corners of his lips lifted in a smile that was more like a sneer than a friendly gesture. He walked slowly, his cane tapping the floor in a rhythm that implied a threat.“Miss Vanessa Reid...”His voice sounded as if he were assessing an item that had lost its value.“A megastar whose star is fading because she associates with the wrong crowd.”Vanessa's eyes narrowed slightly, but she remained standing tall.Sir Kaelan moved closer until his breath could be felt in the air between them.“I don't know if you realize it or not,” he continued, tilting his head, "but Harvey Wilder is ruining your image. Especially after the zombie outbreak."He twirled his staff, as if each spin eroded the self-esteem Vanessa was trying to maintain.“If only you didn't have a relationship with this cowardly God of War,” he said emphatically, “you would be shining brightly throughout Kaelvarion.”Sir Kaelan turned his attention back to Harvey. A smug smile lifted

  • Harvey 300-1

    Sharp whispers slipped among the guests of honor as Harvey stopped in the middle of the arena. Piercing glances came from all directions—from officials in fancy suits to young fighters lined up waiting for the ceremony to begin.Their faces hardened, their noses lifted as if smelling something they didn't like.“He shows up at a time like this? Seriously...”A man in a dark blue suit bowed his head slightly, but his gaze was clearly fixed on Harvey with undisguised hatred.“Tsk... look at the way he walks in. As if he still owns this stage.”A noblewoman hissed as she clutched her fan tightly, almost breaking it.“This proves that he is not willing to be replaced. No wonder he never really wanted to give up the seat of the God of War.”The cynical tone of an officer was so loud even though he was whispering.“All this time, he always said it was for the people. Hypocrite!”Words and insults rained down like hail as Harvey and his entourage walked through the crowd. Alex walked closest

  • Harvey 299-6

    Arden took the water bottle from the medic and immediately gulped it down in a few seconds. His throat moved quickly, as if he had just come out of the desert after days without a drop of water.As soon as the bottle fell empty from his grasp, he took a long breath... then let it out slowly.A faint tension appeared on his face.“So... it had to go that far,” he muttered low, just to himself.His eyebrows furrowed slightly—an expression of annoyance not directed at the opponent he had just destroyed...but at something bigger. Something he remembered—and didn't like.The locker room door suddenly opened.Arden immediately turned around; his right foot slightly back, his hands raised alertly. His fighting reflexes kicked in immediately—there was no knock on the door, and that was enough to make him suspicious.But the man who entered raised both palms to chest height, signaling that he had no intention of attacking.“Hey... hey... relax,” he said in a tone that tried to sound lighthea

  • Harvey 299-5

    “How could he take out Crimson Lion's two best fighters?” Sir Kaelan stood up from his seat, his face reddening until the veins in his neck stood out. The tip of his cane struck the VIP marble floor repeatedly, producing sharp thuds that disturbed everyone around him. His gaze seemed to pierce through Arden, who was standing far away in the arena.“That brat...” he muttered angrily. “He has no title! No track record! He's never even participated in an official competition!” His voice rose. “He must be hiding something. This is not normal!”His female assistant hugged the folder tightly to her chest. Cold sweat beaded on her temples as she tried to calm her breathing. Although trembling, she nodded quickly—as if afraid that a second's delay would cause the cane to be aimed at her.“Y-yes, sir! I... I will file a protest immediately.”Her voice was almost drowned out by the roar of the audience, who were still stunned—between disbelief and incomprehension at what they had just witnessed
