At that moment Jessica's lips curved into a mocking smile.
“Oh, this is rich.” Her perfectly manicured nails tapped against the doorframe. “How much did it cost to rent the car and hire this... assistant?” She said with a mockery tone. However Damien did listen to her, he rose quietly from his seat, straightening his simple robes. “Uncle Bernard, thank you for your hospitality.” “But Damien, we haven't even had tea—” Uncle Bernard started. Bernard at that moment just smiled. “Some matters can't wait.” He bowed respectfully. “I'll visit again when time permits.” immediately Jessica laughter followed him down the path. “Did you really think we'd fall for such an obvious act? A village doctor with a Phantom Spirit Ultra?” Damien didn't pause or turn back, simply nodding once to the driver as he stepped into the vehicle. The car purred away, leaving Jessica and her mother standing in the doorway. “Can you believe his nerves?” Jessica turned to her mother, her voice dripping with disdain. “Hiring actors and renting luxury cars just to impress us!” Her mother's laugh tinkled. “Such desperation! As if we wouldn't see right through it, he's as foolish as I thought.” “That young man Damein,” Uncle Bernard's quiet voice cut through their amusement. “has never needed to pretend to be anything other than what he is.” “Oh, Father,” Jessica rolled her eyes. “You're too trusting. He's clearly just a—” “The Damien I know,” Uncle Bernard continued firmly, “would rather walk than rent a car for show.” Upon hearing what Sir Bernard just said. Jessica and her mother exchanged knowing looks before dissolving into laughter again, their certainty in their own judgment leaving no room for doubt. ** “The herbs are prepared.” Dr. Kyle arranged his instruments on a silver tray, each movement precise and practiced. “We should begin immediately.” Sophia watched the steam rise from the medicinal decoction, her heart started pounding. The treatment would save her grandfather's life, yes, but at what cost? he might be in coma, The memory of what Damien said to them still tugged at her thoughts. “Wait.” Her voice cracked slightly. “Please... just wait a moment.” Upon hearing what Sophia just said Dr. Kyle hands stilled over his instruments. “Miss Sophia,” His tone carried decades of authority. “Every minute we delay—” Sophia didn't allow Dr. Kyle to finish his words when she interrupted him. “I've called another doctor.” immediately the room temperature seemed to drop several degrees. Dr. Kyle straightened slowly, his distinguished features started darkening. “Another doctor?” “Sophia!” Her father stepped forward, his face flushed with anxiety. “What are you thinking? Dr. Kyle has cleared his entire schedule for us, and it took the grace of Young Master Landon to make this possible and you—” “The clinic this morning,” she rushed to explain, pulling out the card Damien gave to her. And face her brother. “Remember? The young doctor who knew Grandfather's symptoms just from a cough?” “A village doctor?” Her father's voice rose in disbelief. “You're risking Dr. Kyle treatment because of a low life village doctor —” “He knew, grandfather problem.” Sophia's fingers tightened around the card. “He knew exactly when Grandfather's condition would worsen. The timing, the symptoms... everything happened exactly as he predicted. Everything.” At that moment Sophia's father's fingers tightened on his armrest, uncertainty flickering across his face. “The Legendary Master Raymond clinic, you say?” At that moment Sophia's brother wouldn't keep calm. “Father, she's being fooled! it was just a lucky guess, nothing more. This... village doctor probably sees dozens of similar cases.” Dr. Kyle who has been trying to make sure the words didn't get to him, by measuring herbs with meticulous care. However, hearing what Miss Sophia just said he suddenly looked up. His eyes sparkled with poorly concealed excitement. “Master Raymond himself? The legendary healer is coming?” “No...” Sophia's voice grew small. “Just... just a young doctor from his clinic.” They watched Dr. Kyle enthusiasm drain away like water. His lips pressed into a thin line as he adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. “It's disrespectful to think a mere assistant can do better than me? Really, Miss Sophia, this is beneath me and it's an insult.” At that moment the silence grew heavy as Dr. Kyle set down his measuring spoon with deliberate precision. “I must be frank. Either I proceed now, or I leave. Choose.” Upon hearing what Dr Kyle just said Mr. Oliver's face paled. His eyes darted between his daughter and the renowned physician not wanting to take any chances he decided to agree. “Dr. Kyle, please, begin the—” At that moment a voice Interrupted them. “Stop!.” The quiet command cut through the room. At that moment Damien in simple healer's robes stood in the doorway, his presence carrying an inexplicable weight. “This treatment,” he stated, his eyes fixed on the herbs, “will trap your grandfather in eternal sleep. He will never wake.” Upon hearing what Damien just said Dr Kyle eyes turned deadly immediately, he couldn't believe a newbie would dare write off his method of treatment. Dr. Kyle's face flushed deep red. “You dare—!” “Guards!” Mr. Oliver said and pointed at Damien. “Remove this imposter at once!” “Father, no!” Sophia rushed forward, placing herself between the guards and Damien. “This is him – the doctor I told you about. The one who knew everything about Grandfather's condition from just a single cough.” “Since you hold my master's exclusive card,” Damien voice carried a quiet edge, “I will honor his promise, that is the reason I'm here” Without another word, Damien stepped forward, removing an ancient jade flask from his robe. Without a word, he poured three drops of clear liquid into the air – but instead of falling, they hung suspended. His fingers moved in intricate patterns, and the drops began to orbit each other, forming the ancient symbol for “life.” “Impossible...” Dr. Kyle whispered, his medical bag falling forgotten from his hands. “The Celestial Dew Technique? It vanished with the last imperial physician five centuries ago.” The luminous drops suddenly shot forward, absorbed instantly into three precise points on the patient's body – throat, heart, and forehead. “Remove him from all other medicines,” Damien said quietly, already turning to leave. “When the frost patterns fade at sunrise tomorrow, he will wake, fully healed.” At that moment Dr. Kyle stumbled forward, his eyes widened, he couldn't believe he just saw a technique he had long aspired to learn but never came close to master it.

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
