In a flash of instinct, the assassin executed a high-level fast step, blurring out of the punch’s direct path. His body shifted with near-perfect timing, a move refined from years of battle-hardened experience. But even with all his speed and discipline—he wasn’t fast enough.

Damien’s fist barely missed its target, but the force behind it was so sharp, so precise, that the edge of the blow scraped across the assassin’s cheek, splitting the skin clean open.

A thin line of blood trailed down the side of his face.

He froze.

His hand slowly moved up to touch the wound. When his fingers came back stained with red, his jaw clenched tightly.

It wasn’t just the pain it was the message.

Someone laid a hand on him.

In all his time serving under the most brutal units in the military, in all the secret missions, in all the ranked challenges he fought through to rise—no one had ever touched him.

Not once, and now this?

A man he’d been told was nothing but an easy target?

    The company owner began pointing aggressively at both Rebecca and Stella, his finger jabbing through the air with each accusation.“It seems you have seriously taken my quietness and patience for complete stupidity,” he said, his voice trembling with barely controlled rage.His face contorted with anger as he continued. “And I will not literally fold my hands and just sit here tolerating this kind of blatant insult from anyone.”The owner's voice grew louder and more threatening. “I absolutely will not tolerate this kind of outrageous nonsense from anybody in my own establishment.”He shook his head emphatically. “This is not going to happen - not here, not today, not ever.”His tone became more menacing as he looked between the two women. “All of you have bitten off far more than you can possibly chew with this reckless behavior.”The owner's voice dropped to a dangerous level. “And I'm going to make absolutely sure that you regret your actions - every single destructive thing you

    Rebecca and Stella stood defiantly amid the wreckage they had just created, their expressions showing no trace of regret or concern.“What does it look like we just did?” Rebecca responded with cold sarcasm, gesturing at the destroyed items scattered across the floor.Her voice was filled with righteous anger as she continued. “We just exposed the complete shenanigans that you people have been planning from the very beginning.”Stella stepped forward, her tone equally defiant. “We revealed the useless charade that you guys literally orchestrated just to extort Sophia and steal her money.”Rebecca's voice rose with authority. “So we just exposed your entire fraudulent operation for exactly what it is - a cheap scam.”She looked directly at the three experts with contempt. “So what else are you going to say now that your little show has been completely demolished?”Stella crossed her arms and stared down the company owner and his associates. “What the hell is actually wrong with you

    At that moment, Stella's expression transformed from controlled anger to something far more dangerous.Both Stella and Rebecca simultaneously rose from their seats with fluid, predatory movements.They began walking forward toward the company owner, their steps deliberate and intimidating.The atmosphere in the conference room instantly became charged with tension as the two women approached.“Do you seriously think we are just blabbering meaningless words?” Stella asked, her voice dripping with menace.Her eyes locked onto the owner's face as she continued. “Or do you actually believe we're playing some kind of childish game with you?”Rebecca moved to flank him from the other side, her presence equally threatening.Stella's voice rose with dangerous authority. “Who the fuck do you think you really are to be challenging us in this manner?”Her tone became even more intimidating as she stepped closer. “Do you honestly believe you can threaten us and face no consequences?”The owner i

    Right away, hearing what the company owner had just said, Sophia immediately nodded her head in agreement.“No problem at all,” she responded with satisfaction.She then turned and gestured confidently toward Rebecca, Stella, and the other two ladies seated beside her.“Ladies,” she said, “please go ahead and conduct your examination.”But immediately, something unexpected happened.Rebecca, Stella, and the other two women didn't move even an inch from their positions.They remained completely seated, with their arms crossed casually, showing no intention whatsoever of getting up to examine the items.Their body language was relaxed, almost dismissive, as if the entire authentication process was unnecessary.After a moment of silence, Stella spoke up with calm authority.“There's no need for us to get up and confirm anything about these items,” she said matter-of-factly.Her voice carried absolute certainty as she continued. “Everything displayed on that table is fake.”Stella's tone

    The three experts continued their praise, their voices filled with genuine amazement.“This is something we absolutely were not expecting,” the first expert declared, shaking his head in disbelief.“We came here today thinking this would be a routine authentication session,” the second expert added. “But we were completely wrong.”The third expert gestured broadly at the entire collection. “We were not expecting anything even close to this level of sophistication and rarity.”All three men looked at each other, then back at the company owner.“The quality and authenticity of everything here is beyond what we typically encounter,” the first expert continued.“We were not even expecting this kind of extraordinary collection,” the second expert emphasized. “These are museum-quality pieces - no, they're beyond museum quality.”The third expert nodded vigorously. “You have literally done an exceptional job here in putting all of this together.”“The research, the connections, the resource

    At that moment, after everyone had successfully taken their seats around the conference table, the company owner stood up and gestured dramatically toward the items displayed before them.“These,” he announced with obvious pride, “are the items that I have been able to acquire for today's presentation.”His voice took on a tone of reverence as he continued. “It took me tremendous effort - truly great effort - to obtain these pieces.”The owner walked slowly along the table, his hand hovering over various items without touching them. “It took me considerable time to literally put all of these items in place and arrange this collection.”His expression became more serious. “I had to make sure that I could actually secure them, because as you'll soon discover, they are very, very high-quality items.”He paused for dramatic effect, letting his eyes sweep across the assembled group. “And they are extremely rare to find on the market today.”The company owner's voice dropped to an almos
