Serena reached home very late at night. She pushed open the door quietly, expecting the family to already be asleep. She was shocked to see everyone sitting in the living room with their eyes glued to the TV.

The atmosphere was heavy, thick, vibrating with tension.

Serena stepped forward slowly.

“What… happened?”

Your father is the General Commander, and you’re the Superintendent of the Third Division. That’s quite the position.”Katina gave a small nod. “Yes.”“But why were those scavengers chasing you?” Gerald asked.Katina sighed before explaining. “Ever since the apocalypse began, people have been looting military facilities for weapons. They’ve been stealing rifles, ammunition, explosives, and even sophisticated military equipment. Some groups have become heavily armed because of it.”Everyone listened quietly.“So, headquarters deployed different divisions to visit military facilities across the country, recover the remaining weapons and equipment, and return everything to headquarters. We were assigned to one of those operations.”“And it was going well until you ran into those scavengers?” Gerald asked.“Exactly,” Katina replied. “We had just finished reco

Erin wasn't even wearing a helmet, so his son should have recognized him. He was staring directly at him, but the boy didn't seem to notice him at all.The strange man hugged him. “Son, we will be okay. The rescuers are here.”Erin was still lost in the devastating thought when his senior shouted at him, “Hey! What are you waiting for? The water is rising!”Instantly, Erin sprang into action. He rushed toward them and found a large towel lying on one of the nearby chairs. He threw it at Liana, who quickly wrapped it around herself. With that, they made their way out.Meanwhile, the roof was soaked and beginning to collapse. As it creaked loudly, Erin looked up and saw it falling.“Watch out!”Instantly, he pushed Liana out of the way and covered Adam with his bod

    The manager's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he stared at them in disbelief. These were men he had trusted to handle troublesome customers, yet Marcus had single-handedly torn through all of them. The manager's confidence vanished completely. He knew he was doomed. Marcus slowly walked toward him. The manager immediately scrambled backward on his hands and knees. “Wait! Wait! Okay, okay! I'll give you the address!” Marcus didn't stop. “I'm serious! I'll give you everything!” the manager pleaded desperately. Marcus kept walking. “This is my place!” the manager suddenly shouted, trying to regain some courage. “You can't do anything to me! The police will be after you!” Marcus finally reached him and grabbed his hand. The manager's eyes widened. “Wait—” Marcus twisted his wrist violently. “AAAAAH!” The manager screamed so loudly that everyone in the bar flinched. He collapsed against the floor, clutching his arm as tears immediately streamed down his face. Marcus s

    Sapphire exhaled and said she was already planning to leave the city. She had been looking for somewhere else to continue her work. It hurt her that she wouldn’t be able to leave her legacy in the city where she was born, schooled and invested so much of herself. Starting from scratch again felt like a punishment. Charles shook his head. “No. You will do whatever you want here. It’s insane that you have to run because of him.” Sapphire scoffed. “So I should keep fighting him? When I can’t win? Uhn?” Charles leaned forward. “Don’t worry. I will take care of him. You will do whatever you want when I'm finished with him” They all burst into loud laughter. They thought he was bluffing or trying to sound heroic. Tina even joked that he watched too many action movies. After that they drifted into lighter conversations. The girls started teasing Sapphire about how she was basically a nun. No man in her life. No dating or any romance. . Sapphire rolled her eyes. “I only focus on my c

    Marcus knew perfectly well that Jackson was lying to Jessica about being the CEO of Langstone. He also knew exactly why Jackson was doing it. The man wanted Jessica to believe that he was powerful, wealthy, and capable of giving her the life she desired. But Marcus had no intention of exposing him. Not yet. Jackson noticed Marcus staring at them and immediately frowned. He clearly didn't like the way Marcus was looking at them, especially with Jessica standing so close to him. He released Jessica's shoulder and walked toward Marcus. “How can we help you?” Jackson asked coldly. Marcus said nothing. Jackson looked him up and down before adding, “You are the ex-husband, right? We met this afternoon.” Jessica quickly stepped forward. She could see the tension between the two men, and an idea suddenly came to her. She wanted to make Marcus jealous. She reached for Jackson's hand and held it tightly. “Yes, he is,” Jessica said. “He works here too.” Marcus's eyes narrowed slightl
