Carl let out a cold laugh, his voice carrying easily across the tense shoreline.“Thirty thousand men,” he said, spreading his arms slightly as if presenting an army to a king. “All gathered here.”His gaze swept across the crowd.Rows upon rows of men dressed in black stood ready, weapons in hand, eyes sharp, bodies tense.They weren’t just thugs.They were killers.Men who had followed the Nagger name for years, hardened by blood and loyalty.Carl’s lips curled into a sneer.“And what about Jaden Rift?” he continued. “I heard his right-hand man, Morix Sable, only managed to scrape together three hundred men.”He scoffed.“Three hundred against thirty thousand?”He shook his head slowly.“That’s not a battle. That’s suicide.”A ripple of laughter spread through the men nearby.They believed the outcome was already decided.—Standing beside him, Kingston Ortega didn’t laugh.His fingers moved slowly over his prayer beads, one by one, his expression calm but his eyes sharp.“There’s s

From the viewing areas, the atmosphere was already out of control. Cheers rolled like waves as people stood on their toes, raising binoculars and trying to get a clearer look at the man standing beside Roland Sky. But the distance was simply too great. Even with high-powered lenses, Jaden’s figure was nothing more than a silhouette—a shape, a presence. His face could not be seen clearly at all.To Selena’s family and Xander’s family, it made no difference. They joined the crowd, clapping and shouting along with everyone else, excited and caught up in the moment, completely unaware. They didn’t realize that the man they were cheering for was the same person who had been sitting beside them just hours ago.But on the warship, things were very different. Here, there was no distance, no blur, no guesswork. Everything was clear—every expression, every movement, every detail. And for Leon Nagger’s family, that clarity became a nightmare.Daniella saw him first. The moment her eyes landed on

The coastline was packed.More than ten thousand people crowded along the beach, shoulder to shoulder, all trying to catch a glimpse of the historic moment.But no matter how hard they tried, they could not get any closer.The viewing areas were sealed tight.Layers of security.Multiple checkpoints.No one without clearance could step inside.So they stood there under the blazing sun, watching from a distance, straining their eyes toward the naval base and the massive warship anchored offshore.Even from afar, the atmosphere was overwhelming.—On the deck of the submarine chaser, the situation was completely different.Leon Nagger and his family stood among a group of high-ranking officers.They were not just spectators.They were insiders.That alone filled Leon with a deep sense of superiority.Behind him stood Alfred, ever attentive.Beside him, Neyo tried to maintain his composure, though the excitement in his eyes betrayed him.Daniella, on the other hand, had already adjusted

Jaden stood quietly on the deck, the sea breeze brushing past him.He wasn’t in uniform.No medals.No rank insignia.Just simple, casual clothes.To anyone else, he looked like an ordinary man visiting the ship with his family.But that was intentional.He was the General of the North.And Roland Sky was the General of the South.Today wasn’t about him.It was Roland’s stage.Jaden had no interest in stepping into the spotlight or letting the media catch even a glimpse of him.He preferred it this way.Quiet.—Mia, still in Jaden’s arms, tilted her head as she stared at Roland.Her big eyes blinked curiously.“Papa,” she whispered, loud enough for everyone to hear, “who is he? He looks very powerful!”Jaden couldn’t help but smile.He tapped her lightly on the forehead.“Be polite,” he said. “Call him Uncle General.”Roland laughed immediately and waved his hand.“Just call me Uncle,” he said warmly.Mia nodded obediently.“Hello, Uncle!”Her voice was clear and innocent.Roland’s s

Selena watched them leave, then raised her voice slightly.“Don’t go too far,” she reminded, her tone firm but not harsh. “And make sure you’re back before the ceremony starts.”Jaden didn’t turn around.He simply lifted a hand in acknowledgment.“I know.”Mia wrapped her arms around his neck, already too excited to care about anything else.Morganna followed closely behind, her pace relaxed, but her eyes constantly moving, taking everything in.—The closer they got to the navy harbor, the more intense the atmosphere became.The air shifted.Less relaxed.More controlled.Armed soldiers stood at every checkpoint, their expressions stern, their posture rigid.No one was allowed near without clearance.When Jaden approached with Mia in his arms and Morganna beside him, several soldiers immediately stepped forward.“Halt!”Their voices were sharp.One of them raised a hand, signaling Jaden to stop.“This area is restricted. Please turn back.”Morganna slowed slightly, watching carefully
Chapter 1011
Back at the VIP viewing area, Jaden’s family sat quietly, waiting for the navy ceremony to begin.The sea stretched endlessly ahead, calm and deep, while the massive warships stood anchored in formation like steel giants guarding the horizon.Even now, Selena and her parents still felt like everything around them wasn’t real.It felt too smooth.Too unreal.From being mocked just moments ago… to suddenly sitting in the VIP section, surrounded by powerful figures and honored guests.It was like stepping into a different world.Selena turned her head slowly and looked at Jaden.Her eyes narrowed slightly, but there was a faint smile on her lips.“Jaden,” she said, her tone calm but probing, “don’t you think it’s time you explained what’s really going on?”Her words instantly drew attention.Vane and Nora both looked over as well.They had been holding back earlier, but now that things had escalated to this level, they couldn’t ignore it anymore.They needed answers.Jaden met their gaze
