Then It came slowly—like a sliver of doubt slicing through all his self-assured pride. Why is he still alive? He had spent more money on contracts through the Circle than some nations spent on defense. Ruthless killers. Professionals. Men who don’t miss.Then why is Damien standing here? Not injured. Not bleeding. Not even bruised. Not breathing heavily.Winston’s father’s smile faltered ever so slightly, he blinked.A bead of sweat slipped quietly down his temple.That was when the realization hit him like a brick wall: All the countless number of jobs that he had given to the Circle… all of them were resolved quickly, seamlessly…So how come Damien is still standing? And he couldn’t believe it not even for a second that Damien had the audacity, the guts, to step his feet into his mansion. His mansion. That wasn’t courage, no. That was insult. That was a man spitting on the threshold of power. That was a declaration of war, and Winston’s father wasn’t one to take that lightly. His eye
Chapter 389
Upon hearing what Damien just said, both the assassin and Winston’s father felt their anger boil. It wasn’t just what he said, it was how he said it. The mockery. The cold confidence. The way he stood in the middle of their territory, untouched and unshaken, like he owned the place.At that moment Winston’s father, unable to hold his fury any longer, stood up sharply from his chair, the legs scraping against the polished marble floor with a screech.“Did I just hear you correctly?” he spat, pointing a trembling finger toward Damien. “Did I just hear you talk to me like that? In my own house?”The assassin’s eyes narrowed, shifting between the two of them, his body subtly turning to face Damien. The tension in the air was thick, ready to snap.Then Winston’s father slammed his hand on the glass table, causing a slight crack to run through its surface. “You walk in here like you're untouchable, like nothing can happen to you?” His voice shook with rage, his face red with disbelief. “Wel

He paused and chuckled lightly, but it wasn’t the happy kind of laugh. It was the type of laugh that told Winston’s father, you’re playing a dangerous game.He sat back in his chair now, arms crossed on his chest, but his stare never left the man across from him. “You even mentioned General Marcus,” he said slowly, his tone tightening. “Only a few people know about what I did for him. You… you must’ve paid a lot, or scared the right people.”Winston’s father remained silent, nodding slightly. He wasn’t smiling anymore. The man in front of him was no longer just a hired gun. He was something far more dangerous. A shadow from the past.The man took in a deep breath. “But I’m not mad at that,” he said. “In fact, I respect it. You went after what you wanted, and you got it.”Then he leaned forward again, voice dropping lower. “Let me tell you this now… I don’t shy away from anything. Not from war, not from blood, not even from death. If you say this so-called person needs to disappear—” h

At that moment, Winston's father sat forward, his voice slow, firm, and laced with a subtle weight of authority that only men who had survived dangerous games carried in their tone. The room was quiet, lit dimly by a single chandelier overhead, casting long shadows across the table between him and the man seated across from him—a man whose silence alone could send shivers through any seasoned soldier.“The pay,” Winston’s father began, placing a thick brown envelope on the table, “is one million dollars. Half now, half when the job is done.”He slid the envelope slowly across the polished surface. It stopped just before the man’s fingers. However the man didn’t reach for it. He simply looked up, waiting.Winston’s father narrowed his eyes. “I don’t want complications. I don’t want explanations. I want confirmation.” He leaned forward, his voice dropping. “Damien. If he’s still alive, I want to know. If he’s already dead, I want proof.”There was a brief pause. A subtle shift in the ro
Chapter 386
At that moment, Serenity just stood there, her lips parted slightly as though she wanted to speak, but no words came out. Her throat tightened as her grandfather’s words echoed in her head. The Brain called... the Brain himself. It sounded impossible. Too heavy. Too real.She tried to shake it off, to find some ground to stand on maybe it was all a trick from Damien. “Grandpa, I—”But before she could complete her sentence, her grandfather waved her off and cut her sharply.“Don’t even bother,” he said, his voice calm but unrelenting. “I know what you’re thinking. ‘How could you be sure it was the Brain?’ ‘What if it was Damien pretending, manipulating things from behind the scenes?’ Isn’t that right?”Serenity didn’t respond. But her silence said enough.Her grandfather gave a tired sigh and leaned over to the small side table beside his seat. He picked up his phone, unlocked it with a swipe, and then tapped a few times. After a moment, he turned the screen to face her.“Then see fo
Chapter 385
Upon hearing what her grandfather just said, Serenity’s heart jumped in her chest. She blinked, stunned not because of the threat, but because she never thought her grandfather would say something like that. The War Goddess Tattoo and Title… it wasn’t just her identity. It was her pride, her legacy, something she had earned through sweat and sacrifice. And now he was bringing it up like it could be tossed aside?At that moment, Serenity’s voice trembled slightly as she spoke—not from fear, but from the weight of everything pressing down on her. She looked at her grandfather with disbelief in her eyes, her fists clenching at her sides as if trying to hold back the rising frustration burning in her chest.“I don’t understand…” she said, her voice sharp but wounded. “I don’t understand what you meant by those words, Grandpa. You said I could be dismissed? That my War Goddess Tattoo and title could be stripped? Why are you saying this to me? Why are you threatening me—because of Demian?”
