I Was Wrong

Wolly City Hospital – POV

Lucian leaned back, arms crossed, his gaze locked onto the General. His voice was calm, but there was a storm behind his words.

"Don't regret it, General… I've given you a chance to handle this in your way." His eyes were sharp, unwavering. "Get me Theo Silvit, and I won't take action myself. If not… then you and your people will bear the consequences of whatever happens next."

The General let out a deep sigh, rubbing his temple as if trying to ease a growing headache.

"Lucian… believe me, neither I nor the country has anything to gain by standing against you. If anything, we'd only suffer losses."

His voice was steady, filled with experience and patience.

"But can't you see what you're turning into? You're walking down a path of no return."

Lucian said nothing. He simply watched.
