Calvin stared at both of them with eyes filled with anger. Knowing how truly awful their behavior was made it unbearable for him.Selly looked at him coldly. “How dare you look at me like that? Lower your gaze, damn it!” Selly pointed at Calvin’s face with one hand.“Someone like you, just a staff member, doesn’t deserve to be here. Leave and stop trying to play the hero,” Jessy added firmly.Of course, she wasn’t pleased when someone came and interfered in her affairs. She had to teach that foolish Claire a lesson.Calvin’s gaze remained sharp. “I’m not a staff member.” His voice was cold.His eyes turned to Claire, who now looked like she was in pain. Her hand was slightly red, making Claire hiss in discomfort.Calvin gently held her hand, ignoring the burn on his own.“I’ll treat it right away,” Calvin said softly.He pulled Claire’s body gently and helped her sit down, but Jessy quickly blocked him. “She doesn’t deserve to be here!”“She needs to work, and this is no time to act s

Claire was already seated at the vanity. She was getting ready for her makeup session. Her gaze had been fixed on her reflection in the mirror for some time. Meanwhile, a woman was carefully applying makeup to her face.From time to time, the woman smiled at Claire. “You look absolutely stunning, miss.”Claire barely registered the makeup artist’s words. For the most part, her expression remained flat and uneasy.She kept fidgeting with her feet and wringing the fabric of her dress. Her chest pounded with anxiety.The makeup artist paused, looking at Claire’s blank expression. She frowned slightly, sensing that something might be wrong. “Are you alright, miss?”Claire moved her eyes to meet hers and quickly nodded. “Yes, I’m fine.”She forced a smile, trying to reassure the makeup artist.Of course, there was something Claire was hiding. And naturally, she couldn’t tell anyone about it—which only added to her sense of pressure.The makeup artist nodded. “Alright then. I’m glad you’re

Calvin had arrived at his home. His eyes immediately fell on Claire, who was currently sitting in the room. Calvin quickly walked over and gave Claire a smile. “I’m sorry I didn’t get the chance to pick you up.”Claire shook her head. “It’s okay,” she replied in a weary voice. There was even a smile on her face, though it looked clearly forced.Calvin furrowed his brows, sensing that something had happened to Claire.He sat beside her and touched her hand. “How was your job?”“Did everything go well?” Calvin continued asking.Claire looked at him and nodded. “Yes, everything went well.”She answered in a soft voice. From the look in her eyes, Calvin was sure something had happened to her.Calvin raised an eyebrow, observing Claire more intently. “Are you alright, Claire?”Claire gave him a faint smile and nodded. “Yes, I’m fine. There’s nothing to worry about,” she tried to reassure Calvin.Calvin just let out a sigh. Then he nodded and stood up from beside Claire. “It’s your first da

The three men furrowed their brows. They glanced at each other, then turned back to Calvin and burst into laughter.“What’s wrong? Are you embarrassed to apologize to us?” Dev said mockingly, clearly underestimating Calvin.He was completely convinced that deep down, Calvin was terrified of facing all three of them at once. Dev believed Calvin was already imagining his defeat—he just didn’t have the guts to admit it or apologize for everything that had happened.“You don’t have to be ashamed to apologize. We’re still being kind enough to give you a chance,” Dev said arrogantly.He stepped forward a little and extended his foot.“You can start now. Apologize and bow at my feet.” Then he laughed again along with the other two men.“It’s not too late yet—before you really regret it. In fact, I doubt you’ll even survive after this,” the man in black added, threatening Calvin.He thought attacking Calvin would be an easy task.“What are you waiting for? Do it now before I actually attack y

Dev was utterly shocked when he felt the burning pain in his hand.His eyes widened in disbelief. He quickly pulled his hand back and saw that his fingers were red and nearly broken.“Arrgggg… damn it. This really hurts!” he screamed again, clutching his hand.Fully aware, Dev realized that he had just punched Calvin—so how was he the one feeling such excruciating pain?His eyes locked onto Calvin, who was now staring back at him with a cold gaze.Dev swallowed hard.“What’s happening? Why does my hand hurt so much? And his body—” he paused mid-sentence, staring at Calvin seriously. For a moment, Dev could hardly blink. He kept observing Calvin’s body.Dev had always thought Calvin was just an ordinary man. His build wasn’t even bigger than his own. How could his body be as hard as steel?The pain in his hand pulsed more intensely. He was nearly unable to move it. Dev truly had no idea what was going on.“Who is he?” His heart pounded violently. Suddenly, his whole body felt cold, swe

Hearing the words spoken by the man, Calvin raised one eyebrow and glanced at Dev with a cold stare. “Oh, really?”Calvin spoke with clear disdain, even feeling tempted to laugh at the man’s overconfidence.Of course, he wasn’t the least bit afraid of what the man had said. In fact, Dev had no idea that he was currently standing in front of a powerful general—one feared by all.But the man kept puffing out his chest as if trying to prove that he was some invincible figure.Dev nodded firmly, pounding his chest hard. “Yeah, you have no idea who I am. I’m a great man—unbeatable.”“You’ve made a huge mistake going up against me.”“I could kill you in a matter of minutes. You wouldn’t stand a chance. And a fool like you shouldn’t dare underestimate me,” Dev boasted, full of pride. “I’m the one in charge around here.”Calvin looked at him with a cold, unreadable gaze. This time, his eyes moved deliberately, scanning Dev from head to toe. And now, Calvin was fairly certain—Dev held some sor
