Chapter 522
At that moment, Cecilia's body locked in place.Her leg, mid-step, refused to obey. Her heart thudded against her chest so loudly that she could barely hear her own thoughts. She knew she had been caught. That voice from Sophia had sliced through the room and landed straight on her spine like ice water. All the courage she had gathered to make that quiet escape vanished into thin air.Her breath stuttered.She slowly turned her head, trying her best to force a smile one that didn’t reach her trembling lips. With a shaky voice, she muttered, “I-I didn’t forget anything… I was just, I was just looking for… where is—”But she didn’t get the chance to finish.Before her words could even form properly, a thunderous voice broke the air one filled with fury and urgency.It was David’s uncle, he snapped his head toward David and barked, “What the hell are you still standing there for? Are you trying to kill us all?! Get down on your knees now and beg!”David flinched, even Cecilia jolted at t
Chapter 521
At that moment, David’s mouth opened, his voice low and trembling like someone trying to force words out of a throat gone dry.“Uncle, wh...what…?” he barely muttered, confused, his words cracked mid-air like a broken whisper.But he didn’t even get to finish the sentence.His elder brother suddenly turned around with a sharpness that cut through the tension in the room. His eyes usually calm were now wide with fear and filled with urgency. His lips were tight, and his voice came out like a whip, fast and harsh.“David!” he snapped. “If you know what’s good for you… get on your knees! Right now!”David froze again, he didn’t move. He didn’t speak.It was as if someone had just unplugged his entire system. His legs were locked. His heart slammed against his ribs. His eyes darted from his brother’s trembling face to his uncle’s clenched jaw, then back to Damien still seated calmly, yet with a terrifying presence that filled the entire room like a silent storm.“What… are you people sayi
Chapter 520
At that moment, David felt like the ground beneath his feet was spinning. He stood frozen, eyes wide, mouth slightly open. He had known his uncle and elder brother all his life men who never bowed to anyone unless it was the highest-ranking official in the country. Yet here they were… on their knees… bowing to Damien.Not even hesitating, not even blinking. It didn’t make sense, David blinked once.Twice.Closed his eyes tight and opened them again expecting, hoping, begging for the image to change.But it didn’t, they were still kneeling. Still humbling themselves before Damien like loyal subordinates before a supreme commander.David’s heart thudded loudly in his chest. He quickly reached into his pocket and brought out a small, neatly folded white handkerchief. With shaky fingers, he wiped his eyes, thinking maybe just maybe he was hallucinating. Maybe stress had gotten to him.He wiped again, the image didn’t change.He nearly choked on his own breath.“What the hell is going on…?
Chapter 519
At that moment, all heads turned toward the entrance as the heavy sound of synchronized boots grew louder, commanding silence across the hall.Then they appeared, two men stepped into the hall side by side, dressed in full military regalia. One of them was clearly older his face weathered by time and leadership, with silver streaks decorating the edges of his neatly trimmed hair. The other, slightly younger, walked with the same confident gait, his chest held high, radiating authority and calm dominance.They didn’t speak, They didn’t need to.The badges, the ribbons, the polished boots it all screamed rank. The crowd didn’t need anyone to explain who they were. Just the sight of them was enough to send waves of unease through the room.And behind them? Ten military officers followed in strict formation.Each one carried the presence of someone who’d seen battle. They weren’t ordinary foot soldiers. They might not have held the same rank as the two in front, but their aura told everyo

At that moment, Sophia didn’t say a word.She just turned slowly and gave Cecilia a cold, disgusted look—a look that spoke louder than any insult could ever manage. Her eyes didn’t carry anger. No, they carried contempt. The kind of look that said, You’re not even worth my energy. But Cecilia didn’t seem to care. She took it as a silent admission of defeat, and that only made her smirk even wider. Just then, Damien leaned in closer to Sophia, his voice low, calm, and unshaken. “Don’t even think about stepping in,” he whispered gently, but firmly. “Whatever happens from here, just stay calm. I don’t want you getting involved.”Sophia turned her head slightly to glance at him, her expression unreadable.“I’m not warning you,” Damien added, his tone still soft but steady. “I’m only telling you this because I want you to be relaxed. I’ve got this handled.”He looked back toward David and Cecilia, his face now blank no emotion, no smirk, nothing.It was the silence before the thunder.So
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
