Micah's eyes blinked fast. Seeing Callen laugh, he thought it was just a joke and got angry. "You think it's funny to turn someone's dream into a joke, huh?"

"No. I'm telling the truth," Callen replied, shaking his head lightly.

Gavin, who heard that, was shocked too. He'd been sure from the start that Callen wasn't an ordinary person, but guessing he was the Warlord never even crossed his mind.

On reflex, he looked at Lois to confirm it. When the woman nodded, goosebumps ran down his arms.

Landon and the soldiers who heard it were also stunned. Their hearts pounded so hard it felt like they would jump out of their chests every time they remembered how they'd insulted Callen earlier.

Micah snorted and spoke again. "If you were the General, I'd probably already be dead. He's not that weak."

"Ah, so you mean the General is weak?"

"No! I mean, you are the weak one!" Micah said quickly, pointing at Callen.

"But I'm that General you're talking about," Callen responded with a frown.

    Oliver felt like he was swallowing sand when he heard Callen's answer. The war had been won by Valdera thanks to Callen's quick decisions in facing such a heavy conflict. Rosevale suffered significant losses and was badly destroyed after its defeat.That meant people from the enemy nation couldn't make the effort to take revenge anytime soon. Oliver asked carefully, "Does that mean someone slipped into the military's secret lab and got a sample from the research subject?"Callen didn't need to answer because Oliver understood it through his sharp gaze. He stood and said, "Let me handle it. You focus on gathering rare disease cases, such as William's. I'll introduce you to someone.""Is that person from our organization?" Oliver asked. He was also a member of the Heliark."I'm thinking of bringing her to our side.""Her?" Oliver's brows drew together, and his eyes widened as something came to mind. "Don't tell me it's Alissa..."When Callen nodded, Oliver blinked several times. Alissa

    Oliver turned to the nurses and snapped sarcastically, "Do you even deserve to call yourselves medical staff? You were about to take someone's life. Are you trying to compete with the Grim Reaper, hm?"The nurses dropped to their knees and cried, begging, "Sir, we were only following Dr. Shaun's orders. Please forgive us!"Callen hissed at them and said, "You're apologizing to Oliver instead of the patient's family. Your motive's pretty clear."Oliver glanced at Callen, silently asking what he should do. Callen signaled that they'd deal with the doctors and nurses involved later since he didn't want Ivy to see it."I'll handle this later. You won't escape responsibility." Oliver waved his hand.The nurses tried to beg again, but Oliver's bodyguards dragged them out. Ivy's eyes watered as relief washed over her. "Thank you so much, Sir!" she said in a trembling voice.Oliver shook his head. "No," he answered. "Thank Callen."Callen looked at William again. "Let's focus on saving him fi

    Everyone inside the room froze when Oliver suddenly hugged Callen. The nurses stiffened as if their spines locked in place, while Shaun's jaw dropped so far it almost hit the floor.Ivy stared at Callen, unable to understand why the owner of Valeron City's largest medical network treated her husband like an old friend rather than a stranger.Callen gently loosened Oliver's arms and stepped back with a calm expression. He glanced at Shaun, and a faint smirk appeared on his face as he tilted his head slightly."I should probably go," he said. "There's someone here who clearly doesn't like me."Oliver blinked, only now remembering Shaun's earlier accusation. For a brief moment, confusion appeared in his eyes before it shifted into sharp irritation. "Right! You accused someone of using my name."Shaun's lips trembled as if he had swallowed glass. "T–That's correct, Sir," he stammered. "I was only trying to protect the hospital's reputation."Callen folded his arms casually, watching him w

    The nurses walked in with a practiced calm as they reached for the tubes attached to William's weak body."Please, don't do anything to him! I'm begging you," Ivy cried.Just as one of the nurses closed her fingers around the life-support line, a hand grabbed her wrist. The nurse gasped when she realized it was Callen."Don't touch him."The nurse pulled her arm back as if burned. No one understood why the air suddenly turned heavy. Callen turned to Shaun without flinching. "No one removes anything. I will donate every cent needed for his treatment. All medical expenses William owes up to today. I'll cover them in full!"Shaun blinked as though he had just processed that Callen wasn't some background extra. He tilted his head while examining Callen from head to toe, his expression twisting into annoyance. "And who exactly are you supposed to be?"Before Callen could speak, Ivy wiped her tears and straightened up. "He's my husband," she said.For a moment, Shaun looked surprised. Then

    The VIP wing of Avenfall General Hospital was quiet and spotless, far different from the chaotic lobby they had walked through earlier. As soon as Callen, Ivy, and Camila stepped inside, two nurses hurried over with respectful smiles."Mr. Callen, Mrs. Ivy, please come this way," one of them said softly.Callen nodded calmly, keeping his expression neutral so Ivy wouldn't suspect anything. The moment they showed that member card at reception, every staff member acted like they were serving royalty. Ivy had almost panicked, afraid they had broken some rule. Camila nearly fainted thinking the bill would skyrocket.But Callen kept a straight face and said it was a benefit from his years of serving in the military. The nurses led them into a private VIP treatment room. Three doctors were already waiting inside."Mrs. Carter, please let her rest on the bed," one of the doctors said politely.Ivy helped her mother lie down. The doctors immediately examined Camila with careful hands and seri

    Chaos filled the entrance of Avenfall General Hospital. The cries of family members echoed, doctors rushed in every direction, and the strong smell of disinfectant hung in the air like a heavy cloud.Callen's eyes narrowed when he saw the patient being pushed past them. The man's condition was almost identical to William's. Pale skin, trembling limbs, and a strange pattern of blue veins crawling up his neck.Ivy tugged his sleeve. "Callen, the symptoms are similar to my Dad's...""Yeah," Callen answered calmly, though his mind sharpened. "Let's go inside first."Ivy and Camila stayed close to him. The crowd made it hard for Camila to walk, and she winced every few steps.Inside the hospital lobby, the atmosphere was even more chaotic. Several families shouted at the staff, demanding immediate treatment for their loved ones.Ivy bit her lip. "We'll have to line up. Mom's wounds are serious, but these people look worse."Camila scoffed through clenched teeth. "It's fine. I'm not dying.
