Jessica stood rooted in place, her confidence crumbling as she replayed the scene in her mind. Landon’s unexpected reaction to Damien had thrown her off balance. Instead of tearing Damien down, as she’d meticulously planned, Landon had greeted him with what almost seemed like respect—or caution.

Her mind raced, trying to piece it together.

‘Why would Landon back off? He’s never one to hold his tongue, especially when he was angry about Damien using Sophia's name to lie and pretend. And why was he acting as if Damien wasn’t just some nobody?’

Across the courtyard, Damien adjusted his jacket and walked away from Jessica, his steps deliberate yet unhurried. He didn’t so much as glance at Jessica, his indifference stinging more than any sharp remark could have.

At that moment Jessica clenched her fists seeing Damien walking away, which made her look even more foolish, her frustration bubbling over.

“What is it with him? How does he manage to walk away unscathed every time, first it was

    At that moment, the Supreme King’s voice cut through the tension like a blade, calm but carrying a weight that made the air feel heavier. He told the Brain to stand down, that this matter was between him and Derek, and no one else had the right to interfere. Then, his tone sharpened as he faced Derek directly.He made it clear that Derek would apologize for the way he had spoken to him, here and now, in front of everyone. He didn’t care that Derek belonged to one of the families that made up the royal bloodline, such status meant nothing to him. He had risen far beyond titles and privileges. What mattered now was respect, and Derek had trampled on it in front of every officer in the hall.The Supreme King reminded him that every ranking military officer in the nation, without exception, was under his command. For Derek to challenge him in the presence of these subordinates was an insult he would not allow to pass. In his eyes, Derek’s words were not just disrespect, they were a delibe

    At that moment, after Derek had spoken, the silence in the hall grew heavier. The other generals, along with everyone else present, didn’t dare say a word. The air felt tense, almost suffocating. Shock was written all over their faces no one had ever imagined that someone would openly confront the Supreme King like this, especially not Derek, who now spoke without an ounce of hesitation.Still, the tension didn’t stop some from acting quietly. A few generals and influential figures discreetly began recording every word Derek said. To them, this wasn’t just a heated exchange, it could be valuable evidence. And in their minds, a dangerous question began to take root: What if the man standing before them wasn’t truly the Supreme King? What if this was nothing more than a scheme, a calculated trick by the Brain to manipulate them and make fools of them all?The thought spread quickly among them, feeding a quiet unease. They had reached a breaking point everyone here already believed the

    At that moment, every single head in the room turned sharply toward the source of the sound.The heavy doors had swung wide open, and there in the doorway stood a figure whose very presence seemed to command the air itself to still. He was impeccably dressed in a military uniform so sharp and perfectly fitted that it looked as though it had been tailored thread by thread for him alone. The fabric glistened faintly under the light, the medals and insignias catching every eye.Without being told, they could tell this wasn’t just any military uniform. No, those seated in the hall could tell instantly from the gold embroidery, the rare crest on the shoulder, and the deep royal hue of the coat that this was something far above standard rank. This was a uniform worn by only one man in the entire kingdom.A murmur rippled through the hall as the truth struck them almost in unison.The Supreme King.Yet, what made their breath catch was not just the revelation of his identity, but the sight o

    At that moment, upon hearing what Derrick had just said, the atmosphere in the hall shifted into something far heavier than before. A silent wave of fear rippled through the crowd. No one dared to even breathe too loudly. Every pair of eyes turned toward the Brain, waiting, almost pleading for him to back down.Most of them thought the same thing, he should just apologize now. he shouldn't push forward. he shouldn't even try and fight back. This was Derrick they’re talking about. The man’s authority was unquestionable, and his reputation for ruthless action was well known. If the Brain had any sense of self-preservation, now would be the moment to bow his head, mutter an apology, and let the storm pass.But to their utter disbelief, the Brain didn’t move. He didn’t speak. He didn’t even blink.Instead, he simply stood there, his gaze locked directly on Derrick. It wasn’t a glare filled with rage, nor was it the wide-eyed look of a man gripped by fear, it was calm, steady, and unflinc

    At that moment, the words from the Brain seemed to hang in the air like a challenge that could not be taken back. Derrick slowly turned his head, his expression hardening into one of pure disdain. His lips curled into a sneer as his eyes locked on the Brain, eyes so sharp and cold they seemed to carry the weight of an unspoken threat.It was the kind of look that could make lesser men lower their gaze, but the Brain didn’t flinch.In Derrick’s mind, the audacity of this man was almost unbearable. Has he forgotten who I am? he thought. Has he forgotten the bloodline I carry? The family I represent? And yet he daresHis gaze grew darker, more dangerous.At that moment the atmosphere in the hall thickened. Even those who were seasoned warriors, men who had faced battle without blinking, now sat motionless, wary of making the wrong move or even breathing too loudly. Every person in the room understood the weight of this moment.Derrick was not just another high-ranking figure, he was a pi

    At that moment, upon hearing what Derrick had just said, the atmosphere inside the hall shifted instantly. It was as if the weight of every gaze in the room tilted in one direction, turning sharply toward the Brain. The murmurs fell silent. Every war king, every top ranking officer, every shadowy figure present wanted to hear what he had to say.The Brain sat with unnerving stillness, his hands folded neatly before him, posture calm, too calm for the growing storm in the room. On the surface, he appeared unbothered, like this was just another council session. But deep inside his mind, a different story played out. His thoughts raced. He knew, without a shred of doubt, that something was brewing. Something dangerous. Something irreversible.He couldn’t piece together why Damien, why the Supreme King would personally involve himself in whatever was about to unfold today. The Supreme King was not the kind of man who wasted his presence on trivial matters. He was not a figure you could un
