Everyone was shocked when they saw the plaque. The Military Council was known as the institution that stepped in when there were serious violations.

From arms smuggling, illegal experiments, to crimes that could threaten national stability. They had full authority to confiscate anything considered dangerous, even without the owner's consent.

"Now I have the right, don't I?" Callen said as he slipped the plaque back into his suit pocket. Luckily, he always carried it with him just in case he faced a situation like this.

Harold's curiosity faded the moment Callen showed the plaque. He thought Callen was just a member of the Military Council, nothing more. Even so, the Council held great power.

"As far as I know, the Military Council confiscates dangerous items. I don't understand what's dangerous about a book," Amy asked again with an annoyed expression.

Callen let out a breath. "Didn't you hear my explanation earlier? The contents of this book have been altered to mislead. It'll endang

    Not only Belmin, but Vera was also shocked when she heard the report. She was certain Caden wouldn't resort to such a method to settle this matter. In her mind, only one name appeared."Could it be Benjamin?" she murmured, but then she remembered that Callen had already warned Benjamin not to cause trouble.Belmin stood up from his chair, his face flushed red. This exhibition event was extremely important because it had taken three years of planning. Many guests from outside the city would arrive later, after the public session ended.He never expected a madman to dare cause chaos in his place. "Who is that person?" he asked through clenched teeth."I-I don't know either," the staff stammered. Then, a coworker's voice came through the walkie-talkie."That crazy man beat several bodyguards who tried to stop him! Tell Mr. Belmin to send more people!"The veins on Belmin's face bulged with anger. He snatched the walkie-talkie and said coldly, "The Noble Order supports this event. There a

    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
