Whitley let out a long breath, a faint smile spread across her lips. Her eyebrows rose slowly, her eyes narrowed like a cat stalking prey. "Of course, Mother," she said, her voice smooth yet confident. "I am your daughter. Besides, Harvey seems like he'll be easy for me to conquer." Her arms were crossed over her chest, her posture erect like that of a commanding queen. Her legs were neatly folded, adding to the impression that she was in complete control of the situation. "You must remember him when he was at this house, right?"

Whitley glanced at her mother, her eyes sparkling like a lamp that had suddenly turned on. Her fingers tapped the arms of the chair in a rapid rhythm, as if her mind was hard at work devising her next plan.

Gina frowned, her smile growing slowly, but her eyes remained sharp, as if questioning whether Whitley was really ready to face Harvey. "Of course," she said, her voice soft but meaningful. "He always does what I tell him to do, even if it makes him lose h

    Harvey stepped in front of the host. Without hesitation, he dropped 5 million dollars into a box. Everyone was amazed at what Harvey had done, even the host didn't know what to say.Whitley's eyes widened like they were going to pop out. Her chin dropped to the ground and her mind raced. "Huh? He really gave 5 million dollars to this show? This isn't a joke, is it?"Whitley's breathing became a little heavy. Her eyebrows began to wrinkle like shredded paper. "What the hell is that? That much money goes to natural disaster victims and the poor. That's too much money to give to people he doesn't know," Whitley protested inwardly. Slowly her lips tilted as if harboring resentment. "That much money should belong to me, not lowly people like them. Just imagine how many clothes and jewelry I could buy with 5 million."However, Whitley soon realized that her thoughts of buying luxury items had to be put on hold. She closed her eyes while holding her chest. A breath came out of his mouth soft

    Harvey squinted, trying to adjust his vision to the scorching sun. His lips were pressed tightly together, as if he was holding back something he wanted to say. Whitley's words still hung in the air, feeling as clear as the light reflecting off the road surface. There was such a strong confidence in her voice-an absolute conviction that seemed impossible to shake. Naturally, with a respected family background, alluring looks, and undeniable intelligence, Whitley always spoke as if the world was within her grasp.A faint smile spread across Whitley's lips, her eyes sparkling in the reflected afternoon light. Harvey was still silent, and to Whitley, that was a clear sign. If the man's feelings had truly vanished, why didn't he argue immediately?Her steps came closer, the afternoon breeze blowing her long hair. With a confident gesture, her slender fingers reached out, touching Harvey's hand that felt warm in the sunlight. “Harvey,” her voice sounded softer, almost a whisper amidst the

    “What's going on?”“What's going on over there?”Whispers began to echo through the crowd. Curious gazes were fixed on Whitley and Harvey, as if they were an interesting spectacle in the middle of a hot day.Whitley frowned, fine lines beginning to appear on her forehead. A sense of unease ran through her body as she realized more and more eyes were watching. Quickly, she stepped closer, her voice low, yet demanding.“Harvey!” she called softly, almost like an urgent whisper. “You should be doing me a favor right now. Do you want us to keep getting attention like this? It's embarrassing!”Her eyes bore into Harvey's intensely, the look both pleading and pressing. She inched closer, her voice sounding sharper. “Tell me quickly that we're actually husband and wife!”Harvey gave a small snort, almost a laugh that refused to leave his lips. With a casual gesture, he raised his head slightly, giving the impression of superiority without having to say it. The look in his eyes remained calm,

    A golf club was swung vigorously, creating a sharp swish in the air before hitting the ball with a clean thud. The ball shot up, piercing the blue sky before falling on the green expanse in the distance.The woman who hit it smiled with satisfaction. With a casual gesture, she took off her hat, letting her hair flow slightly in the wind. The thin sweat on her forehead glistened in the sunlight, and as she wiped it away with the back of her hand, the few men around could not hide their admiring gazes.Around him, the other players took turns swinging their sticks. Each blow produced a sharp thud, followed by a satisfied cheer or a disappointed murmur.“Look, I went farther!” one of the men exclaimed proudly, his chest puffed out as he pointed to his ball that went farther than the others.Some of his colleagues just chuckled softly, some glanced sarcastically before refocusing on their own shots.In the midst of the low noise, a man steps up slowly, almost silently. Harvey. His movemen

    Harvey raised his head, looking at Garry with icy eyes. His lips were drawn slightly to the side, not in a smile, but more like a barely perceptible hint of annoyance. “Do I know you?” he said flatly, as if the existence of the man in front of him was completely unimportant. Her voice was low, almost lazy, like someone who was forced to talk to a stranger at an unwanted time.Garry suddenly frowned, the line between his eyebrows hardening. His jaw tightened, while the air in his lungs boiled. “Hey, of course you know me!” he snapped, his voice slightly raised.He slipped one hand into his pants pocket, the movement relaxed, though there was tension in it. His lips curved in a mocking smile. “You're Whitley Smith's husband, aren't you?” he said, his tone now laden with mockery. “The trashy guy who always brings lunch boxes to Smith's corporate office.”She sighed dramatically, then shook her head slowly as if seeing something pathetic. “If I'm being honest, you really don't belong next

    Harvey raised an eyebrow, his expression flat as if he didn't understand Garry's accusation. "Why is this my fault?" he asked, his voice sounding lazy. "If you want to play golf, just play."He glanced at his watch. There were still ten minutes before his appointment time. Inwardly, she regretted coming too early. If he had known this, he would have spent his time elsewhere instead of listening to the useless babble of these people.Garry fingered his still throbbing head, his eyes blazing with suppressed anger. His breath was ragged, like coals ready to ignite a fire. He stared at Harvey with a vengeful glare, his lips curled in a dismissive smirk. "Harvey, you probably don't know because you're too poor," he said, his voice laden with mockery. "But I am the VIP of this place. If you won't obey me, I can just get you kicked out."Harvey didn't react. Only one eyebrow slightly raised, his expression remained calm, as if even the wind blowing was more interesting to him than Garry's r

    Garry clenched his fists, his breathing ragged. His eyes stared angrily at Harvey, as if he couldn't believe the man in front of him was so indifferent. “You're so shameless!” his voice trembled, not from fear, but from having his pride trampled on. ”How dare you talk to me like that! You're really looking for trouble!” Beside him, Gian was also affected. His face flushed, his eyes widened as if a fire had been ignited inside him. With quick steps, he approached Garry, his chin raised in an arrogant expression. “This is too much!” he growled. “Throw him out!” Garry couldn't contain his emotions anymore. His blood was boiling. He turned his head to the right, his eyes instantly searching for a figure who could help him. “Security!” he shouted, his voice echoing through the driving range. “There are people looking for trouble here!”Four well-built security men immediately surrounded Garry. Their faces were hard, jaws clenched as if ready to enforce the rules without compromise.

    Gian squinted, his head tilted slightly as if he was judging someone who had just said something ignorant. His jaw hardened, his lips pressed into a thin line of impatience."What a sassy mouth you have," he hissed, his tone low but sharp, like a knife ready to stab. "Who do you think you are, huh?"Next to him, Garry snorted softly, the corners of his lips pulled up in a sardonic grin. His gaze lingered on Harvey, full of contempt that he didn't even try to hide."Ah, I forgot," he said, his voice containing an obvious tone of mockery. "You're just a man living off your wife's money, Whitley Smith. You've always been a hitchhiker, dependent on his wealth." He chuckled, then looked at his friends as if he was sharing a cheap joke. "It's sad, isn't it?"A low chuckle rang out from their circle, each implying a veiled contempt. However, Harvey remained silent, his eyes calm, as if their ramblings were just a passing wind that didn't even deserve a response.Garry looked up slightly, his

    The room was instantly tense. Everyone's eyes are fixed on Harvey, as if to swallow him whole. The smile on Steve's face vanished in a flash, replaced by a sharp frown on his forehead. He pulls his hand away and clears his throat softly, as if trying to quell the turmoil in his chest.Steve stared at Harvey, his eyes narrowed, his jaw hardened. His face begins to turn red, not from embarrassment, but from the anger boiling beneath his skin.But Harvey stood his ground. His gaze is calm, not backing down one bit. He met Steve's gaze coldly, as if the anger of the man in front of him was just a passing thought.Steve stepped forward, his steps heavy and full of ego. He stood directly in front of Harvey, then spouted words in a hoarse, stifled voice."Do you know me?"With a quiet gesture, Harvey shook his head, slow and sure."Should I?" he says flatly, but his tone cuts like a cold knife.The room rumbles again, but not with sound-it's with a slowly building anger.

    “Welcoming the God of War here must not be a problem!” Adam's voice was high-pitched, full of pressure. His eyes were piercing, and his jaw was set. “The handing over of ancient weapons to the God of War is a sacred moment. If there are troublemakers...” He turned his head sharply toward Harvey, his final voice suppressed, “...I will not forgive him.”The veins in Adam's neck bulged, and his cheeks flushed with overflowing emotion. The few people standing nearby instantly moved closer to Harvey, as if commanded by contagious rage. Their gazes now turned into cynical glares, as if Harvey had tarnished the honor of the place.But Harvey just stood still. His shoulders did not move, his eyes did not flinch. He swept the crowd with a flat look, as if assessing how much they were ready to bully, but not important enough for him to respond.A single breath escaped her nose-long and deep, like someone stifling a laugh in the middle of a children's ruckus. Then her eyes stopped on Adam. His g

    Adam realized something was off. Since a few minutes ago, Harvey's gaze had never left him. It was no ordinary gaze-cold, piercing, as if it were penetrating an invisible wall of defense.Adam's steps slowed when he finally decided to get closer. His forehead wrinkles, a small crease at his temple signaling displeasure.“Are you after me for something?” his voice was flat, yet firm. “Your gaze is... disturbing.”Harvey didn't answer. He just breathed in slowly through his nose, like he was holding something heavy. His shoulders dropped slightly as the exhale escaped.Then, his eyes moved to the throne-the place that had made him uneasy in the first place. She looked at it intently, her eyelids narrowed, as if trying to read the meaning behind the artificial elegance.Zash and Ken could only stare at the scene with bated breath. Their bodies stiffened.Ken stepped quickly closer, a nervous expression evident. His eyebrows knitted together as he called out softly, half panicked, “Sir, w

    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
