James sat in President Richard's study, staring at the latter with a collected expression . "Zhao's declaration has shaken everything," Richard uttered, his voice laced with worry. He was still unstable from what his encounter earlier with Wei Zhao, his face tensing. "He has gained too much power, General. The only way he can be stopped before more damage would done, is for you to reveal your true identity - as the god of war."The expression on James' face was undescribable, hearing this. He squinted his eyes calmly. " Tell me more about the sect." Ignoring president Richard's statement, he instead demanded. President Richard sighed unwillingly.How could he forget no one can force the king of the west, to reverse his decision?He answered, rubbing his chin. " The sect is called the Lords' world. It was created a decade ago, when some important personalities felt the need to have a space of their own. This was not only to form more social capital and network but to control the

James's voice was deadly low and urgent as he called Kael. "Pick us up. We need to get to the secret house now."Kael's prompt response reassured James. "Yes, my lord. May I ask what happened?"He could sense the urgency and deadly intent from James' voice. "The car exploded," James replied, his tone grim.Kael was silenced for some seconds. " Zhao is really unrelenting!" ...Within few minutes, Kael got to where James and Kael were..James and Emily thanked the kiosk man sincerely before they took their leave. However, James instructed Kael with his eyes to reward the kiosk owner. After the two got into the car, Kael approached the kiosk man and sent him one million dollars, which was nothing compared to the abundant wealth belonging to the god of war. The kiosk man trembled all over, not anticipating this. He collapsed on the ground excitedly and screamed with joy bursting out from his face!" This is much!" He cried out, his eyes bulging at the amount he was seeing on hi

After the call with Wei Zhao, Victor didn't hesitate to call his father, although large amount of shock was written over his face. He instructed the guards beside him to dial Leonard's line, the hospital's fluorescent lights above his bed casting an eerie glow.The call went through immediately. "Dad...James Donovan...he's still alive," Victor stammered, his voice barely above a whisper.The line crackled, and Leonard's shocked tone echoed through the phone." What?! Don't spout nonsense! What are you saying?!" " Zhao just called me! James Donovan is all over the news with his wife!" Victor exclaimed, his face becoming gloomy even more. Leonard demanded over the phone, his voice laced with disbelief. " Are you sure about this?" Victor's grip on the phone tightened. " Yes!!! He said he will burn those who tried to frame his death! Dad, I thought you said you took care of him! Didn't he dare from the car explosion?" Leonard's pause was palpable. "No, this can't be!" It was still

James remained rooted in his place, his gaze burning with resolve.The God of War had awoken.Some minutes later after the meeting, Kael presented some documents to James. " This is the evidence about all of the Tarlose and Wei Zhao's corrupt activities." James's eyes narrowed as he opened the documents been handed him. The contents chilled him. Illegal drug trafficking, human trafficking and slavery, organ harvesting, money laundering and sex trafficking..Kael inserted the USB drive with him into the personal computer provided. A video played instantly, revealing gruesome scenes:A young girl, no more than twelve years was forced into a dingy room. A familiar voice echoed, which seemed to belong to Zhao. "Prepare her for the auction."The same time, a group of people, shackled and gagged, were loaded onto a truck. The guards controlled by the Tarlose were overseeing the operation.A makeshift medical facility showed organs being harvested from unwilling donors.James's me

James and Kael stepped out of President Richard's office, into the chilly night air.Suddenly, shouts erupted, piercing through the air! "Justice for Victor!""You Monster!""Crusher of palms! You deserve to die!" A mob converged, hurling objects at James, whose figure was imposing even in the dark! Bottles, rocks, insults, all flew maliciously towards James. Due to victor's live stream earlier, they decided to locate where James was, searching all around till they found him. They didn't even care if it was late or not. They just wanted to avenge Victor at all cost! The Tarlose is a huge empire in the city, how could they be treated like that by a reckless and foolish live in son in law who is a complete nobody, with no status! "Victor's palms will never heal because of you!" a woman screamed."You're a heartless beast!" a man spat.Reporters swarmed in at the same time, cameras flashing rapidly! "James, how do you respond to Victor's allegations?""Is it true you are the one
