Chapter 517
At that moment, upon hearing what Damien just said, David’s lips slowly curved into a wide, mocking smile. Then, he began clapping loud, slow, sarcastic claps that echoed through the room like gunshots in a chapel.“Clap…!! clap…!! clap…!!”Everyone’s attention snapped toward him.“Wow,” David sneered, his tone dripping with ridicule. “Just look at him… sitting there so proud, so mighty, like he owns the air we breathe. Like nobody can touch him. Like he’s untouchable.” He scoffed and shook his head. “You really think you’re something, huh? Walking around in that black uniform as if you’re the son of the president himself.”His voice rose slightly, enough for everyone to hear. “Well, I’ve got news for you, Mr. Untouchable your days are numbered. You’ve pushed it too far this time, and today… today, I’m going to deal with you mercilessly.”The room grew tenser with each word, and just then, Cecilia who had been burning with anger stepped forward and added fuel to the fire.“Yes!” she s

All eyes slowly shifted to Damien, who remained seated with perfect calmness. His back was straight, one hand resting gently on his lap, the other casually on the armrest. His face held no fear, no panic, just a slow, measured smile that formed at the corners of his lips as if he’d been waiting for this moment.His presence was unsettling, like a lion calmly lying in a room full of barking dogs.Sophia, seated beside him, clenched her fists slightly. Her heart was pounding, not because she feared David’s threat but because she was overwhelmed by how calm Damien still was. She could feel the tension, the pressure, the doubt growing like weeds around them, but Damien’s energy was… unshaken. And that made her proud.She leaned forward to say something in his defense, her lips parting ready to tell David off but before she could utter a single word, Damien gently reached out and held her hand.“Don’t,” he whispered, his voice low and tender. “I’ll handle this.”Sophia froze for a second,

At that moment, David let out a low, calculated smile. He wasn’t in a hurry. He straightened his jacket slowly, as if adjusting it for dramatic effect, and then ran his fingers through his neatly combed hair before locking eyes with Damien again.“I didn’t want to do this,” David said, his voice calm but cold. “Honestly, I planned to let it go. I thought maybe you were just someone who didn’t know any better just trying to impress a few people, maybe even impress Sophia.” He looked over at Sophia briefly, then returned his gaze to Damien. “But now I see you're not just trying to impress. You're trying to deceive. You're sitting there acting like you know things about the military that even high-ranking officers keep secret, and you expect us to believe all of it without questions?”David chuckled, but there was no humor in his voice.“You see, I hate liars. I hate people who try to take others for a ride especially when it’s done so shamelessly in public. And since you want to raise y

At that moment, David couldn’t help it he started smiling, but it wasn’t a smile of joy. It was smug. Condescending. He slowly rose from his seat like a man who believed he had just cracked the biggest joke of the night. Straightening his suit, he gave the crowd a short nod, soaking in the energy of the whispers and laughter that still lingered in the air like smoke after a fire.“Well,” David began, his voice loud enough to capture the entire hall’s attention, “I honestly didn’t want to say anything. I really didn’t. I came here to have a good time, not to be pulled into some circus performance.”A few people chuckled, others turned to look at him with curiosity.“But one thing about me,” David continued, now walking slowly in front of the long banquet table where Sophia and Damien sat, “is that I hate liars. I hate people who live fake lives. People who walk into rooms trying to act like something they’re not. I hate people who think they can take others for a ride.”He turned, his

At that moment, Demian simply smiled. It wasn’t forced or nervous it was calm, controlled, and deliberate. The kind of smile that said he saw through the game being played. The kind of smile that warned everyone in the room not to push further than they could handle.He didn’t need anyone to spell it out. It was obvious from the way the announcer dragged out his words, the way eyes kept darting between him and Sophia, the way the silence stretched just a second too long after the question was asked. This was staged. It wasn’t curiosity they were setting him up. Planning to expose or embarrass him. Maybe they thought he was just some random man Sophia picked off the street. Maybe they believed they could throw him off, make him stumble, make Sophia feel ashamed for bringing a man like him here.Well, they picked the wrong person tonight.That was exactly why Demian came prepared. He knew how these circles worked he understood the whispers behind polished smiles, the judgment behind eve

Then, without hesitation, he stepped forward and bowed deeply toward David not out of formality, but out of pure, unshaken respect.He remained that way for a few seconds before rising slowly.“In all honesty,” he said, “I shouldn’t even be standing tall while speaking about a man like David. I am not worthy to list his name in the same breath as mine.”The moment carried weight. The atmosphere thickened with reverence.But then David, calm and composed, slowly rose to his feet. His presence was effortless like a breeze that didn’t announce itself but changed the air when it arrived. He gave the announcer a small nod, his voice deep, but gentle.“You’ve said enough,” David said. “But if you must speak of me... mention this humble people deserve great respect. That is all.”The words echoed through the crowd like thunder wrapped in silk.A few people clapped softly, others bowed their heads. Even Rebecca, seated a few steps away, looked toward David with a different kind of gaze this w
