The news of the Supreme King’s return spread like wildfire. It wasn’t just the city—every corner of the country buzzed with excitement. Streets were alive with chatter, people gathering in shops, markets, and homes, their voices filled with joy. Some cheered in the streets, while others rushed to confirm the news for themselves. The Supreme King was back. The long wait was finally over.

In a grand office overlooking the city, London's father sat behind his desk, his fingers tapping against the polished wood. His sharp eyes scanned the headlines flashing across the screen in front of him. The return of the Supreme King wasn’t just news—it was a shift in power. And in business, power meant opportunity.

Without wasting a second, he picked up his phone and dialed.

London answered on the second ring.

“Father?”

“London, have you heard the news?” his father asked, his voice carrying an unusual excitement.

London leaned back in his chair, glancing at the news playing on the screen.

“Yes, Fa

    As soon as Demian stepped into his home, a sense of relief washed over him. His sharp eyes landed on the neatly wrapped package sitting on the table outside his house. The herbs had arrived.He walked over, unwrapping the bundle with careful hands. The moment he saw the familiar textures and colors of the plants inside, a small, satisfied smirk tugged at his lips. Finally. The herbs he had been searching for were now in his possession.That meant he was only missing two more.He let out a deep breath, leaning against the table. The last two weren’t as urgent. They were meant to stabilize Serenity’s Grandfather once it fully awakened, but if everything went as planned, her body should adjust well even without them.Right now, what mattered was the herbs in front of him.With these, he could begin treatment. He could restore Serenity’s grandfather At that moment his fingers traced over the leaves, his mind already calculating the next steps. He wouldn’t waste this chance. He had spent

    At that moment Serenity allowed herself a small, fleeting smile. Maybe it was an accomplishment. Sitting in the same room as the Supreme King was no small thing, but still—it wasn’t enough for her.“It’s nothing,” she said, brushing off the thought. “My goal is to actually meet him. At least shake his hand. If I can do that… then I’ll have something to be proud of.”Hearing Serenity words Elvis chuckled, shaking his head. “That’s true. I know you, Serenity. And if that’s your goal, you’re definitely going to get there.”Then Serenity gave him a small nod of appreciation. She would get there. She had to.Everything between them still felt light, natural, just as it always had. But then, Elvis’s expression shifted slightly, with a more serious look crossing his face.“I’ve been working on something,” he said, his tone thoughtful. “Something for your grandfather.”At that moment Serenity’s brows furrowed. “What do you mean?”Elvis leaned forward slightly. “We can’t wait forever, Sereni

    At that moment Elvis leaned forward, his brows furrowed in concern. “Serenity, if this is something I can help you, then you should tell me. You know I’ll do my best to help.”Serenity hesitated, gripping the phone tightly.Elvis sighed, something told him it was Damien, That bastard.“Come on. We’re friends. I know a lot about you… and I even know Damien.” His voice turned firmer. “So, there’s no reason to keep something like this from me.”He paused before adding, “In fact, if something feels off, maybe I should stay away from Damien until you figure out who he really is.”Serenity’s fingers twitched slightly. She exhaled, then finally spoke.“Fine… I’ll tell you.”Elvis straightened up, his expression serious.“I sent Damien’s details to the top tracking agents in the military,” Serenity admitted. “I wanted full access to his records. Even if they didn’t have everything, I expected at least something.”Elvis’s eyes widened slightly. “And?”Serenity swallowed. “I just got a cal

    And from the look on her face, it was already working.At that moment Serenity’s fingers tapped against the table, her brows furrowed in thought. Damien was suspicious—there was no denying that. Everything about him felt too controlled, too secretive. And now, knowing there was no record of his past?That was enough reason to keep an eye on him.She exhaled slowly, nodding to herself. “I need to be careful around him,” she muttered. “There’s too much happening in the country right now. The Supreme King’s return has put everything on high alert, and we can’t afford to let a potential threat walk freely.”Elvis clenched his jaw, but he kept his voice steady. “That’s exactly what I’m saying, Serenity. Think about it—someone like Damien, walking around unnoticed while the entire country is tightening security? It’s disheartening.”At that moment Serenity’s expression darkened slightly, but she said nothing.Elvis leaned in, his voice dropping lower. “And if nothing is done… what happens

    The moment Damien stepped through the door, the air in the room shifted.Immediately Serenity’s eyes widened, her body started tensing. Of all people… of all times…They had just been talking about him. Just moments ago, she had decided to arrest him. And now, here he was, standing in front of her like some twisted fate had placed him there.Her heart pounded. Did he know? Had he overheard something?At that moment she stole a glance at Elvis.His entire expression darkened. Shock flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly swallowed by anger.Damien was the last person he wanted to see right now.Seeing Damien standing in front on him, made Elvis clenched his jaw, his fingers curling into fists. ‘Why now? Why did Damien have to show up now? this wasn’t how things were supposed to go.’He whispered to himself.Elvis had been carefully leading Serenity’s thoughts, steering her into believing Damien was dangerous, making her see him as an enemy.But he wasn’t done yet. Not completely.And

    At that moment Serenity’s mind raced as she glared at Damien even more, her emotions a storm she could barely contain. How? How had her grandfather arranged this marriage if he didn’t know Damien?Her grandfather had always been a man of logic, a man who never made reckless decisions. He wouldn’t have simply handed her over to a stranger. There had to be a connection. A reason something he saw that would have made him make sure decision.Her jaw tightened. He knew Damien. He must have.And now, the one person who could confirm it—who could tell her the truth— was lying in a bed, unable to speak.At that moment her heart clenched at the thought. If only he could talk… if only he could tell her how he knew Damien, why he trusted him, why he thought she should be tied to him in marriage.But that wasn’t an option. Not now.Her grip on control was slipping, frustration clawing at her from the inside. She needed answers, but it wasn't coming in the manner in which she wanted it.And if her

    Hearing what Serenity just said.Damien stood there, unmoved, his patience wearing thin. He had better things to do. Bigger concerns. Yet here he was, stuck in this ridiculous conversation.Serenity’s accusations didn’t even make sense to him. What was she even talking about?At that moment he let out a quiet sigh, his expression unreadable. This was getting old.“Are you done?” he finally said, his voice flat.Immediately Serenity’s glare deepened. “Stop pretending, Damien! Just admit what you’re really trying to do—”He cut her off with a slow exhale, rolling his shoulders. He was getting bored.Serenity was nothing but an obstacle at this point. A loud, irritating, and utterly exhausting one.The longer she went on, the more he realized—he didn’t care.He didn’t care what she thought. He didn’t care what she believed. And he certainly didn’t care enough to stand here arguing with her.Her paranoia wasn’t his problem.“I don’t have time for this,” Damien muttered under his breath.

    Hearing what Damien just said.Serenity’s entire body burned with rage. Did Damien just say that?A nobody like him, standing before her, questioning her worth?Her fists clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her palms. She couldn’t believe this.Enough.She wasn’t going to let this go. She was going to teach him a lesson—personally.Her body moved before her mind caught up, stepping forward with dangerous intent. She would show him exactly how she earned the title of War Goddess.But before she could strike, Elvis stepped in.“Serenity!” His voice was calm, too calm. “It hasn’t gotten to this.”He raised his hands slightly, stepping between them. “Just calm down. This isn’t necessary.”At that moment Serenity’s glare snapped to him. “Stay out of this, Elvis.”But he didn’t back down. He was too careful, too measured.He wasn’t really defending Damien—he was protecting himself.If this fight escalated, if Damien retaliated, who knew what he might say? What secrets he might spil

    At that moment Deborah took a step forward, confusion written all over her face. “What are you insinuating, Bernard? What are you even trying to say?” she asked, her voice tight with frustration.Uncle Bernard let out a soft sigh, like he was tired of trying to make them understand.“I'm saying,” he said, locking eyes with her calmly, “that everything Damien said inside this room the other day... he actually did it.”Deborah blinked rapidly, not sure she heard him right. Jessica, sitting silently on the edge of the couch, clenched her hands together tightly.Then Uncle Bernard leaned back in his chair, his voice firm. “When we got there, instead of us being punished like you all feared, it was the committee members themselves who got punished.”Upon hearing what Bernard just said, Deborah gasped. Victoria looked even more stunned.“They were punished for trying to frame us, for abusing their authority,” Uncle Bernard continued, his tone carrying a mixture of disbelief and admiration

    At that moment Serenity gritted her teeth as she headed toward her car, her boots striking the pavement harder than necessary.The anger in her chest was boiling, almost choking her.Damien’s disrespect wasn’t just toward her it was toward her entire family, she couldn't he had humiliated her in broad daylight, treated her like nothing, and now, she was going straight home to tell her grandfather everything.He needed to understand that Damien wasn’t fit for their family.And if her grandfather still wanted her to marry someone like that, then he was just asking for more shame, and disrespect.Her hands tightened on the steering wheel as she drove, her mind spinning with fury.She thought about Winston’s father’s face, about the things he said...It was clear now Winston’s father was going to revenge his precious son death, now that he doesn't have any heir of his own, everything was just a mess, and she could feel it.“I’ll deal with all of them, and make sure this disrespect doesn't

    At that moment Serenity gathered more courage, standing there with her back straight as if bracing herself for whatever Damien would say next.But when Damien finally spoke, his voice was calm—too calm.“So, that's what you call an apology?” Damien asked, tilting his head slightly, his gaze sharp and piercing.“If you truly wanted to apologize,” he continued, “I would expect you to bow your head properly, and apologize proudly. Not... whatever this half-hearted thing you’re doing is.”He stood there, not raising his voice, but his words struck harder than if he had yelled.“You’re still trying to prove something,” Damien said, a slight smirk playing at the corner of his lips.“As if being the War Goddess makes you untouchable. As if it freaks me.”Upon hearing what Damien just said, Serenity’s lips parted, but no words came out.Damien’s voice grew colder.“It doesn’t freak me. None of it does,” he said bluntly.“It seems you really don't have anything else to say.”He shifted slightl

    At that moment the old man's face paled.For the first time in a long while, real fear flashed in his eyes. He staggered a little, his mouth opening and closing without any sound coming out.He couldn’t even argue it with his son, he didn't understand anymore. Everything he thought he knew about Damien shattered like fragile glass.From the look of things... Damien wasn't just some miraculous doctor’s apprentice anymore.This—this was something else entirely.Because what he just heard...A doctor couldn't do this, no mere healer could.This was clear—crystal clear—cultivation sealing and unlocking at a level that was terrifyingly beyond ordinary reach to a doctor.At that moment Sophia’s grandfather wiped the cold sweat forming on his forehead.He had been friends with some of the highest-ranking generals in the military. He had heard whispers, rumors about things like this—about techniques that could cripple a man's life force without leaving a single visible wound. But he never tho

    At that moment Serenity stood there, frozen, her mind blank and her fingers curling slightly into her palms. She couldn't move. She couldn't even breathe properly.Everything that just happened felt surreal, as if the world had been flipped upside down in a single heartbeat.The heavy silence pressed down on her, and no matter how much she tried to pull herself together, she couldn’t shake the strange, overwhelming feeling swirling in her chest. She could still see Damien's calm back as he walked away earlier, like nothing that had happened even scratched him.How? she thought blankly. How can he be so composed? How did he even do what he did?She had heard about that skill before—the technique of controlling speed within a person's body, a forbidden art in the military, only accessible to those who reached an unimaginable level of cultivation. It wasn't a rumor. It was fact.And only a handful, a very rare handful of people, could even dream of achieving it.For Damien to be among th

    The moment Winston's father spoke on the call, he didn't even let the doctor speak first.“Is there any progress?” he demanded, his voice sharp with impatience. “Have you finally gotten a breakthrough?”There was a brief pause on the line. A pause that made the air around him feel heavy, suffocating.Then the doctor's voice came through, low and apologetic.“I'm sorry to inform you, sir... your son... he's dead.”For a second, Winston's father stood frozen, not even breathing.Then, slowly, his phone slipped from his trembling hand, crashing onto the tiled hospital floor with a loud, hollow sound that echoed through the room.Everyone around turned to look.Winston's eyes, bloodshot with rage, widened as realization hit him fully. His hands clenched so tightly they turned white.“That bastard...” he growled under his breath, his voice shaking with fury. “That bastard actually killed my son!”He staggered back a step, his body almost unable to bear the weight of the truth crashing down

    At that moment, Damien stood up slowly from his chair.The faint sound of the legs scraping against the hospital floor echoed sharply in the thick silence. His movements were calm, composed—but anyone watching closely could feel the storm brewing underneath his stillness.He tucked his hands into his pockets and glanced at the people standing before him, one after the other, his gaze cold and distant, almost as if he was looking through them rather than at them.“I've kept quiet long enough,” Damien said, his voice steady, but edged with a sharpness that couldn't be missed. “And frankly, it seems I'm just wasting my time with irrelevant noise.”The temperature in the room seemed to drop by a few degrees. No one dared to interrupt.Then Damien took a slow step forward, speaking with a chilling clarity, every word landing with precision.“I'm not the kind of person who seeks the downfall of others. I'm not the kind of person who finds joy when others are crying or broken,” he said, his

    At that moment, Sophia, her grandfather, and her father were frozen in place.None of them could speak. None of them could even breathe properly.It was as if the world had tilted slightly off balance—watching, hearing, sensing the storm that was quietly brewing inside this single hospital room. Everything they thought they knew had been shaken in seconds, leaving them only with the sharp sting of reality. They were just there, stiff and confused, staring as the scene unfolded before them.Winston’s father stepped forward, anger rolling off him in waves.“This is the man,” he growled, pointing a thick finger directly at Damien. “Serenity, don’t waste time. Arrest him immediately! He’s the one. I’m very, very sure!”The room held its breath, all eyes shifted to Serenity.For a moment, she said nothing. Her sharp, calculating gaze locked onto Damien, studying him with chilling calmness. Her posture was straight, her expression unreadable, but the atmosphere around her grew colder by the

    Her question was directed at Winston's father, who stood with grief etched into every line of his face. His eyes never left Damien as he gave a slow, deliberate nod.“Yes,” he said, his voice thick with conviction. “That is the same person. I would recognize him anywhere.” His fists clenched at his sides, knuckles white with tension. “I am very, very sure.”The weight of his certainty hung in the air, choking any protest Sophia might have formed. She glanced at Damien, searching his face for some reaction—denial, shock, anything that might suggest innocence—but his expression remained carefully controlled, only the slight tightening around his eyes betraying any emotion at all.Whisting's father stepped forward, his face contorted with desperation and rage. His finger remained pointed at Damien, trembling with the force of his accusation.“He has been the one having issues with Whisting ever since the beginning,” he spat, voice breaking. “And I am very, very sure that he is also the
