Chapter 12 - the unexpected encounter
The sixty-five-year-old Marine Corps veteran, Sergeant Miller, did not leave the gym immediately. His old yet sharp eyes remained glued to the fading back of the maintenance worker.
Miller knew exactly the kind of power Damon had just utilized. It wasn't performative martial arts, but a lethal survival skill passed down only to the ghosts of top-secret special forces.
After ensuring the surrounding area was safe, Miller decided to quietly follow Damon. He found the father and son waiting at a bus stop a few streets away from the gym, under the evening's light drizzle.
Damon immediately realized someone was tailing them. He gently pushed Evan behind his back, his body instantly shifting into a state of high alert. However, upon seeing the Marine Corps cap, he relaxed slightly.
"You have the skills of an invisible ghost," Miller spoke, his voice warm yet carrying absolute, profound respect. "I never thought I'd see someone like you again in a private martial arts gym."
Damon didn't reply immediately. He only looked at him with a cold, flat gaze. "I am currently just a maintenance worker. Those days submerged in deadly darkness ended forever a long time ago."

Miller nodded in understanding. He pulled an old business card from his coat pocket and handed it to him. "That champion won't let this go. If you need a truly safe place, come find me."
