“Young master, Young master...”
The soft, urgent calls jolted Lucas awake from his slumber at the desk.
“Hmm?” Lucas opened his sleepy eyes. He could feel the warm breath of the caller on his cheek, carrying a faint fragrance mixed with the scent of pizza.
Alright. There was no need to guess—he knew exactly who it was. Besides the busty Ayesha, no one else would shake him so insistently.
“Aha~~”
Aiden hurriedly returned to the military camp, closed his room door, and pulled out the document Lucas had given him. As he read through it, his brow furrowed deeper and deeper. Once he finished reading the documents, he locked the document away in a steel safe.
This kind of safe was only possessed by a few individuals, such as Aiden and his brothers. It was used to store important intelligence and documents.
Once a major incident occurs, this steel safe woul...

As for the Director, it goes without saying that Lucas will take that role. He will not relinquish military authority; in fact, he visits the military camp every f...

But he was also lucky. Because he met Edward. In the end, he didn't take Edward's bank card. His stubbornness still made Edward look at him with admiration.
But when he left with the math Olympiad test paper, Edward clearly saw a powerful aura of "silent but deadly" in him.

In the early morning, before the sun had even risen, the sharp, commanding shouts of a military drill echoed through the village.

As Lucas emerged from the secret chamber, he heard Nicole's voice from outside the door.
"Come in." Lucas replied, stretching lazily. The air in this world always made him feel so comfortable.
The door creaked open, and Nicole entered. Seeing Lucas there, she let out a sigh of relief. She had been worried that he might suddenly disappear, just as he had appeared out of nowhere before.

Fear was evident in the eyes of those watching them. These were people who had been living ordinary lives just a day before, and expecting them to act with any kind of alertness after seeing the deadmen in less than a day was a distant hope or simply impossible.
