Chapter 53: 53: The Lifelong Nemesis 

DK Group – Infinite Dimensions Division 

Usher was abruptly awakened from his game by an assistant. 

"You won't be able to touch him—not in reality, at least," came a calm voice. 

A middle-aged man in casual attire stepped into Usher's office, his presence unremarkable, but the two sharply dressed military officers flanking him—one a female major—made his authority clear. 

"K.D., right? I don't quite follow who this 'him' is that you're referring to," Usher replied coolly. 

Feigning ignorance, he tried to mask the storm brewing inside him. 

K.D. wasn't having it. "Orson. Infinite Dimensions' top-ranked player. He's now under the military's protection. Understand now?" 

Usher's eyes narrowed. "I'm confused. To my knowledge, he isn't affiliated with the military." 

"That was true. But now, he is," K.D. responded matter-of-factly. 

The revelation stunned Usher momentarily. He wasn't afraid, though; he was angry.
