Chapter 398
At that moment, Sophia quickly leaned forward a bit, her eyes locking onto Damien’s, a quiet desperation hiding behind her calm tone.“The situation is really important to me,” she said earnestly, trying to steady her breath. “That’s why I asked for this meeting. I didn’t want to just send a text or call and let it pass like that. I wanted to look you in the eye and say it properly. I wanted to apologize and clear the misunderstanding between us.”Her voice softened even more, almost breaking. “I know it may not mean much to you now, but it means everything to me.”Still Damien’s eyes remained on her for a while, unmoving, unreadable. He didn’t respond immediately, and for a second Sophia thought maybe he was considering having a conversation, maybe her words had touched something. But then Damien leaned back slowly and exhaled.“Well,” he said, “like I already told you… I’ve forgotten about it. It’s done. It’s behind me. So if you’re saying you’re the last to let go, then fine. Let i

Then, at that moment, Damien calmly pulled out the chair opposite Sophia and sat down, his posture relaxed but his eyes fixed on her. There was a stillness about him quiet, composed, but undeniably alert. His presence filled the room without trying to hardImmediately Sophia gave a small smile, but there was tension behind it. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, then reached for the menu on the table, more out of something to do with her hands than genuine interest.“Um... do you care for anything?” she asked, trying to steady her voice. “Like... should I order a drink? Or maybe some food? Or at least something sweet? I mean, you came all the way here and I just—”Then Damien gently raised his hand to stop her.“It’s alright,” he said, his voice calm and firm. “Just water is fine. They can bring that.”He leaned forward slightly, his eyes narrowing just a little. “Sophia, I’m curious,” he said, not wasting time. “I really want to know what it is you wanted to talk about. Becau
Chapter 396
Because he knew that since General Marcus was involved in the smuggling of potions, there is definitely going to be some other ranking officers, generals, or even more higher rank than generals, that is also involved in this. And without being told, he knew that definitely war is coming. And also, he really wants to know where and how they got those forbidden potions, and how come the Circle, they are kind of getting stronger, and how they were able to get their hands on that kind of potion.And he needs to find who and how they were able to get it into the country.Damien’s mind was racing now, but his expression remained unreadable, like a man who had made peace with the storm he was about to unleash. Whoever smuggled those forbidden potions whoever opened the doors for such dangerous power to leak into the shadows of the nation had to be uncovered.Not just uncovered—exposed. Burned.The Circle was no longer a faceless rumor whispered among mercenaries and cowards. They had structu

At that moment, the Brain’s fingers froze on the edge of his desk, the weight of Damien’s words crashing into his mind like thunder. His pupils dilated slightly, and for a brief moment, silence filled the room. The usually unshakeable Brain, known for being calm even in the face of chaos, was now visibly disturbed.Then he sat upright, eyes fixed on the glowing screen of his secured communicator, unable to look away.He had worked under Damien for years, and in all those years, Damien had never, not once, called for a full general meeting. Damien operated from the shadows, commanding legions and empires without ever showing his face. His name alone sent shivers down the spines of even the bravest warriors. His presence had always been distant yet absolute, like a god who ruled from a high throne, never needing to descend.But now…Damien wanted to stand before them.At that moment The Brain slowly walked away from his seat, his breath shallow. He walked to the reinforced glass window

At that moment, Damien calmly said, “I don’t have any issue with you anymore. Since you’ve come clean, I’ll no longer kill you immediately… but I’ll still punish you for what you did.”Winston’s father’s eyes widened instantly. “W-What? Punish me? But… I told you everything! I came clean!” His voice cracked, rising with desperation. “You said you wanted the truth, I gave you the truth!”However Damien didn’t respond. He just stared at him with that same unreadable coldness in his eyes.Then Winston’s father stood up shakily, pointing at Damien. “You… you killed my son! I was angry! I acted out of pain and rage! I made a mistake, I admit it! I’m sorry! Why… why are you still going to punish me?!”But before he could finish what he was saying, Damien slowly walked closer, his steps silent, heavy with judgment, and gently raised his hand.Immediately Winston father froze.Then, Damien’s index finger pressed down lightly on the center of his forehead.In that instant, Winston's father bod

At that moment, Damien’s eyes narrowed slowly, but he didn’t move. His presence alone was already towering enough to freeze the air in the room. His voice came out calm, yet dangerously quiet—each word layered with a hidden storm.“What did you help General Marcus smuggle?” Damien asked again, his tone leaving no room for excuses. “Don’t play games with me. I don’t want guesses. I want the truth.”Immediately Winston’s father shivered slightly. His lips quivered as he tried to find words, but the weight of Damien’s eyes on him was heavy—like judgment itself had stepped into his home. He knew this wasn’t a time to fabricate stories. He had seen what happened to the assassin just minutes ago, and that man was no amateur.“I swear to you,” Winston’s father finally said, voice low and shaky, “I don’t know the exact substance.”He raised his hand in surrender and added quickly, “Marcus never told me what I was helping him move. All I knew was… it was dangerous. He said it was something tha
