Arriving at the restaurant, he was quickly escorted to a secluded room at the back.

The manager was already waiting, a small wooden box sitting on the table in front of him. As Damien entered, the manager stood and bowed slightly, his demeanor respectful but professional.

“Mr. Damien, thank you for coming on such short notice,”

the manager said.

“We believe this herb matches your description.”

Immediately Damien nodded and sat down, his eyes locking on the box.

“Let’s see it.”

Hearing what Damien just said.

The manager carefully opened the box, revealing a delicate plant wrapped in protective material. Its slender leaves and faintly glowing stems bore a striking resemblance to the herb Damien had described.

At that moment Damien leaned forward, inspecting it closely. His sharp gaze picked up on the subtle differences almost immediately. The color was slightly off, and the scent, while similar, lacked the distinct sharpness he knew the correct herb would have.

Immediately he let ou

    At that moment the man let out a weak gasp, his throat constricted, his face twisting from the unbearable pain.However his boss eyes stayed locked on him, pure hatred burning in his stare. He raised the man even higher, his muscles tightening, preparing to slam him straight to the floor hard enough to break bones, enough to silence him forever.But just as his arm was about to swing down.“Relax.”The deep voice of his elder brother Victoria father— cut through the tension like a cold wind.“Relax,” he repeated, his tone firm but calm. “Let the man speak.”Then he stood still, his arm frozen mid-air, his chest rising and falling sharply with each breath of anger. He turned his head slightly, his eyes still sharp, waiting for a reason to finish what he started.Victoria’s father sat forward in his seat, his eyes calm but focused. “Maybe... just maybe... there’s some truth in what he said earlier.”For a moment, the room stayed silent, the man still dangling helplessly in his’s grip,

    At that moment, hearing everything Victoria’s father’s younger brother had just said, the man who was standing there with his cheek swollen didn’t dare say anything. He didn’t even flinch. He stood rooted to the spot, his head low, his eyes glued to the floor like the tiles suddenly became the most important thing in the world.He knew better, he knew that when his boss was this angry, the worst possible thing to do was to talk. No excuse, no explanation, no attempt to clarify just silence. That was the only safe option.Because his boss... was no ordinary man.He wasn’t just the younger brother of Victoria’s father. He was a former retired War King, a title that carried weight across the nation. A man who had stood in battles where hundreds fell and still returned without a scratch. His name alone was enough to make seasoned warriors shiver.But his boss wasn’t satisfied with just that legacy. After retiring from the battlefield, he did something no other War King had done, he steppe

    Victora’s father sat in the middle of his lavish living room, yet his posture was nothing like a man surrounded by wealth. He sat stiff, his elbows resting on his knees, his eyes dark and distant like a storm was brewing inside his head. His face looked heavy, his breathing deep and slow, like he was holding back a wave of rage that could break loose at any moment.Seated directly opposite him was his younger brother the youngest in the family and his only sibling. The man sat with his legs apart, his hands clasped together between his knees. He looked restless, like a man who hadn’t eaten for days, though food wasn’t his problem. His face was pale, his eyes sharp, yet sunken as if he was carrying a burden too heavy for his shoulders.Neither of them spoke. Not a word. Yet, the tension in the room was so thick it could suffocate anyone who dared step inside. The silence wasn’t peaceful it was sharp, cold, and dangerous.Then, the door creaked open gently, and a man stepped inside. He

    Shadow Knights seated before the Royal Family were not just ordinary men.They were well-trained warriors, each one of them skilled in so many aspects of life—combat, strategy, assassination, warfare, even the unseen arts that most in the kingdom and the Country only whispered about.It was said that each of them was stronger than five... no, even seven War Kings combined. They were the kind of men who didn’t just fight battles, they ended them.And if... if all seven of them were to stand together, to fight side by side, their power would be unstoppable. Together, they stood a greater chance to achieve something truly remarkable, something that could shift the balance of the world.Then the man on the right throne continued speaking, his voice deep, heavy with meaning.“The Royal Family has made a decision,” he declared. “A threat... a threat that has been looming for many years, one that has grown quietly, hiding beneath the surface... is growing into something far worse.”His eyes

    Not all of them looked rough or scary, but each of them carried an air of strength.Four of them looked rugged, their bodies broad and tough, some with visible scars on their faces and arms marks that showed they had seen many battles and survived them. Their eyes were cold, their faces set like stone.But the other three men stood out differently. They were handsome, well-groomed, dressed sharply in royal garb that hugged their fit bodies perfectly. Their faces were calm, clean of scars, but the sharpness in their eyes showed they were not ordinary either. Their kind of strength wasn’t in brute force, but in intelligence, skills, and cunning.The room was quiet. The Royal Court didn’t summon men like these unless something serious had happened.The seven men sat proudly, waiting, their backs straight, their eyes fixed ahead on the Royal Families.The tension was growing. The air felt heavy, and it was clear whatever was about to be said, whatever mission or judgment was about to be p

    Deborah kept her head down, her hands squeezing together in her lap.Uncle Ben continued, his voice even sharper, “If you like, go ahead and start trouble. Go and start throwing accusations around. But let me tell you now, don’t put that on Damien’s head. That boy is the same person who saved us earlier today.”He paused for a second, his chest heaving with breath, his eyes still locked on her. “I don’t want to experience what I went through today ever again, not because of your stubbornness.”Deborah said nothing, still staring at the floor.Uncle Bernard shook his head and added coldly, “If you want to look for trouble, do it on your own. I won’t follow you, and I won’t beg anybody to help you either. You’ll be on your own.”Then he took a sit and sat back slowly, still watching her, making sure she understood he meant every single word.At that moment, Deborah raised her hand slightly, her voice low and careful. “I’ve heard what everyone said,” she muttered. “It was just a suggesti
