NOVGO.NET Chapter 215 What happened
The General did something that shattered the entire room.
He bent forward.
Lowering himself into an apologetic bow.
“I would first like to sincerely apologize to you.”
Silence.
Complete and utter silence.

Purple-haired man’s jaw nearly hit the floor.
What… the… fuck…?
A Marshal a General bowing his head toward an 18-year-old?
It was impossible. Unthinkable.
No matter how strong the Kane family was, no matter how much influence they had, this was something that just didn’t happen.
Even if it were Olivia Kane herself, this level of submission would have been insane.
Generals, Marshals… these are men who would rather die than lower their pride.
Not even money or power could make them bow like this.
Purple-haired man felt an icy shiver crawl up his spine.
What the hell was Lucian Kane?!
Meleonora’s entire world shattered.
Her chest tightened painfully, her breath shallow, hands trembling at her sides.
No… no, please… don’t do this…
She wanted to scream stop. She wanted to shake the General and demand he explain why he was doing this.
But she couldn’t.
She froze.
Her pride, her beliefs, her entire faith in the system
Everything she had worked for.
It felt like someone had ripped it apart.
This was the man she had looked up to.
A man who had fought for justice.
A man who had protected the country for decades.
And here he was lowering his head to an 18-year-old mass murderer.
Was this what the world really was?
Was this what power meant?
Pride could be bought?
Belief? Respect? Sacrifice? Justice?
All of it… just to one day lower your head to a stronger family?
Meleonora felt sick.
For the first time in her life, she questioned everything.
She felt a deep, twisted disgust curling in her gut.
She felt like she had been lied to.
That everything she believed in was a joke.
Her mind screamed at her to reject this.
To fight back.
To scream that this was wrong.
But she didn’t.
She just stood there.
Silent.
Head lowered.
And for the first time in her life
She felt utterly broken.
A disappointed grunt escaped Lucian’s lips as he turned his head to the side, refusing to even look at the General.
“Why did you do that? I trusted you.”
His voice was cold, emotionless.
The General let out another deep sigh, his shoulders seeming heavier than before.
“I truly apologize for that… It is all my fault,” the General admitted, his tone full of remorse.
The purple-haired man glanced around the room, his sharp eyes shifting between Lucian and the General.
Why do I feel like there’s something between these two? he thought.
Lucian exhaled sharply, his fingers tapping against the armrest of the chair.
“Old man… I don’t need an apology. I need the reason. Sit down and explain why you pulled back her security,” Lucian said, his voice low, his tone carrying an unmistakable edge. “And if your answer doesn’t satisfy me… you will become my enemy.”
A chill settled in the room.
The weight of his words hung thick in the air.
The General remained silent for a long moment before exhaling once more, as if the burden on his back had suddenly become heavier.
“And you know what happens to my enemies,” Lucian added quietly, his cold gaze locking onto the General.
It was a warning.
A chance.
Lucian rarely gave second chances, especially to those outside his immediate trust. The very fact that he was allowing the General an opportunity to explain meant their relationship wasn’t entirely severed yet.
But to the others in the room
Meleonora, and the two officers behind her Lucian’s words only fueled their anger and humiliation.
Meleonora stood frozen, head lowered.
Her belief in justice, her unwavering dedication to her principles shattered.
She had spent years upholding the ideals of law and order, believing that power should never bend the rules.
And yet, here she was, standing in a room where the General himself had bowed his head in apology to an 18-year-old.
Her shoulders felt heavy, as though an unbearable weight pressed down on them.
The two officers standing behind her shifted uncomfortably.
Why isn’t she saying anything? Why isn’t she acting?
They had always known Meleonora to be fearless. The kind of woman who would never let injustice slide.
But now?
She looked defeated.
It was as if the very foundation of her beliefs had been torn apart.
Meanwhile, the purple-haired man remained fascinated by the scene unfolding before him.
Who the hell is Lucian Kane?
He could feel it.
There was definitely something between Lucian and the General something deep.
Something personal.
But what?
Lucian’s voice cut through the tension like a blade.
“Why was there no one protecting Rose? Did you pull them back?”
His stance was clear.
His eyes were sharp, drilling into the General as if searching for the truth.
The General’s expression remained heavy with guilt.
“I… I truly am sorry, but as you know… everything operates based on profit and…”
Lucian’s gaze darkened.
“Profit?”
The air in the room grew colder.
His voice held a dangerous undertone, his disappointment evident.
“The profits I’ve given weren’t they enough?”
Lucian’s tone sharpened, his patience thinning.
“I never expected this from you, old man. I thought you were an honest person. That at the very least, you’d keep your word.”
His fingers tightened into a fist.
“I only asked you for one favor-to protect my family. And have you already forgotten what I’ve done for you?”
Lucian’s expression turned unreadable.
“I even saved your life. And now… tsk.”
His disappointment in the General was clear.
“It’s not like that-” the General started, shaking his head. “At least let me explain.”
He let out another sigh, his brows furrowed as he prepared to finally reveal the truth.
