Chapter 447
And into the hall walked six figures.One in front, five flanking him like a protective wall.Their movements were slow, deliberate, commanding. They didn’t need to say a word; their presence alone sucked the tension right out of the room and replaced it with a colder, sharper kind of silence.The kind of silence that warned of something catastrophic.The man in front walked like someone who had never once known fear in his life. His steps echoed with purpose. The five behind him moved in perfect rhythm, their faces expressionless, their eyes scanning everyone and everything.They weren’t just soldiers, they weren’t even ordinary elites.These were his guardians his shields, his fangs. Each one of them a living weapon, and just like that, the weight of the room shifted again.The tension didn’t build this time it vanished, disintegrated into the air, as though the very presence of these six men had seized it… had stolen the fire from everyone’s lungs.They didn’t quite understand what
Chapter 446
Inside the grand marble hall of the Royal Command Citadel, where golden torches flickered against the ancient walls and the floor echoed every subtle shift of boot and armor, all the mighty war kings, seasoned generals, and top-ranking military officers were already seated. Each man and woman wore a uniform that told tales of blood, conquest, and power some more decorated than others, but all equally respected across the lands.Yet today, none of their medals or hardened expressions could hide the unease building in the room.The Supreme King had summoned them without explanation. A royal decree had gone out at dawn, no delay permitted, no excuses tolerated. And now, here they were, seated at the long crescent-shaped war table, their faces stiff, some confused, others whispering quietly, their eyes glancing at one another as though trying to read minds. But no one had answers.Because this wasn’t normal.The Supreme King did not summon meetings like this for mere protocol or greeting
Chapter 445
As Damien descended the stairs, his footsteps were unnervingly calm, almost silent against the creaking wood. The air below was heavy, thick with tension and lingering fear. Jessica clutched Deborah’s arm so tightly her knuckles had turned pale, while Uncle Bernard stood rigid, his face drained of color, eyes darting nervously toward every corner of the room as if expecting someone, or something to lunge out at them.The moment Damien’s figure emerged, all three froze. Their gazes instinctively swept past him, scanning the room as though expecting another presence to follow. The absence of Victoria’s uncle, the man who moments ago was suffocating them with his killing intent was more terrifying than his presence.Jessica’s lips trembled as she blurted, “Where… where is he? Where is that man? Where is Victoria’s uncle?”Deborah’s voice followed almost immediately, shaky and sharp, her fear laced with disbelief. “Tell us he’s gone… please tell me he’s gone.”Damien’s expression remained

At that moment, Damien’s voice was calm, almost unnervingly calm, as he spoke to Victoria’s uncle. “Looking at you,” he said, his tone steady but sharp enough to slice through the thick air in the room. “I can see it in your eyes, you’re telling the truth. I can feel it. And because of that… I’ll make your death seamless. No pain. Quick.”The words hung there, cold and final, like a blade resting against a throat.Victoria’s uncle felt his chest tighten as if invisible hands were squeezing the life out of him. His legs trembled involuntarily, and a drop of sweat ran down the side of his face. The promise of a painless death wasn’t comforting, it was horrifying. It was the calm certainty in Damien’s tone that struck fear deep into his bones.“W–wait!” Victoria’s uncle stammered, his voice breaking as he instinctively stepped back, his hands trembling. “Y–you promised! You said if I told you the truth, you wouldn’t hurt me!” His words came fast and uneven, like a man desperately graspin

At that moment Victoria’s uncle swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing nervously as he tried to find his voice. His pride screamed at him to stay silent, but his survival instinct, sharper than any blade forced him to speak.“I… I don’t know what you are,” he said, his voice trembling, “but… I’ll answer… I’ll tell you everything.” His words cracked under the weight of Damien’s quiet stare, as though each syllable was dragged out of him unwillingly. “I was blinded… by anger. I thought I could take what I wanted… that I could force the truth out of them. I didn’t think. I didn’t ask. That was my mistake. I…” He paused, lowering his eyes in shame, “I should have known better.”However Damien didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he tilted his head slightly, almost as though studying him, weighing his words, his tone, the sincerity behind them. The silence stretched painfully long, each heartbeat in Victoria’s uncle’s chest pounding like a war drum.Finally, Damien spoke his voice low, s
Chapter 442
At that moment, inside Damien’s room, with Victoria’s uncle’s severed head still dangling in his grip, Damien’s expression remained unreadable. His breathing was calm, but his voice carried a sharp edge of mockery and controlled anger.“You thought you were wise,” Damien said coldly, his words cutting through the still air like a blade. “You thought that little trick of yours would stop me from dealing with you. I understand what you were trying to do, every desperate move, every little detail. I know the only way to make you useless you is to cut your head off cleanly and make sure it never touches your body again.”His eyes narrowed as he studied the lifeless face in his hand, the faint trace of defiance still frozen in its expression. “I’m curious, though… where did you learn this little trick of yours? Who taught you something like this? Was it born out of desperation… or arrogance?”Then Damien’s tone shifted into something quieter, almost contemplative, though the coldness never
