*****Cloe was slightly startled upon realizing that she was the first person to be called out and then she became nervous.“Go for it, girl!!” Her friend cat called toward her, and immediately, Cloe saw everybody’s anticipated stares on herself. She beamed and then stood up.“Everyone,” she called out gently. “Well, these recent years have been very good to me. Not a single percent up to brother Bernard, of course,” she did not forget to flatter Bernard, which everybody did not find out of place.“Although I only stopped my education at high school, I was able to get myself a job in a multimillion-dollar company, and in just a few years, my salary managed to exceed $30,000 per month and with it, I was able to by my second car just a week ago, a BMW M2 of 200,000 dollars.”“Oh my god!!!” Everybody gasped with shock upon hearing Cloe’s achievement.As she was a lady, a beautiful one at that, everybody had always treated her well and had never bullied her. Yet, they had always loo
*****Who isn't aware that one of Bernard's favorite activities is tormenting Ares?Knowing grins immediately spread across their faces as soon as Bernard's proposal was mentioned, then everybody glanced at Ares, waiting to hear his response."Idiot, you'd better seize this amazing opportunity that's landed in your lap without any effort on your part. You may never encounter such a remarkable chance again, not even one percent as good, for the rest of your life." Cloe jeered at Ares, relishing in his humiliation.Ares, though initially unable to respond, suddenly smirked. "I'd be happy to extend the same offer to you. Interested in signing? I'll have someone prepare the perfect servitude contract for you immediately."“This…” Everybody’s mouths opened wide as soon as they heard Ares playfully using Bernard’s suggestion back at him."Has this dude gone nut?" they whispered to each other, but then remembering Bernard's history of bullying Ares due to his strong and muscular physiq
*****“Loser, where do you think you are going?!” Cloe abruptly jumped to her feet after returning to her senses and instantly rushed to bar Ares’s way just as he was about to rush away.“You think that was smartness you were on the verge of portraying, no?” She inquired sarcastically.“It is nothing but foolishness!” She gave the response to her own question with a sudden yell and then placed her hands on her waist like how a housewife, whose husband was trying to leave the house after she had ordered him not to leave would do.Hearing her abrupt yell, the others in the room also returned to their senses and most of them jumped to their feet the following moment.They hurried towards Ares and quickly set up another barrier behind Cloe, without any hesitation, also aiming to prevent Ares from escaping. “So, this was your aim when you arrogantly stated that you were going to settle all tonight’s expenses? You are truly a fool!” Someone mocked.“I knew it! How could you, someone
***** For some reason, Olivia suddenly became uncomfortable by the gaze she was being given by Ares.Holding Olive’s hand the way she had just done was something the two of them had been used to doing since their childhood, and she hadn’t put much thought into it when Olive proposed it earlier, but now, she couldn’t help but feel awkward. Olivia immediately wanted to take away her hand, but Olive would not let him go.“What are you doing here?” She finally broke the stalemate silence between herself and Ares. Ares scoffed upon hearing her question. “Shouldn’t I be asking you that? A married woman intimately holding another guy’s hand in the public… what a joke.”“You…” Olivia immediately became even embarrassed by Ares’s allegation, but then this embarrassment rapidly turned into a deep humiliation.“What do you mean?” She growled at him. “What do I mean?” Ares smiled with anger. “Look for yourself and see what I mean.”“You!!” Olivia’s breathing became heavy and then she became in
*****"Didn't she inform me that she'd wait for me here?" Ares found himself puzzled as he looked around the spot where Alle had pledged to stay and wait for him.He even sent out his mental energy to scout the area, but he failed to locate even the slightest trace of Alle.“Hope she had not gone there alone?” He mumbled to himself and immediately, Ares’s heart skipped with nervousness.“Had I not warned her to not go alone?” He sighed exasperatedly.Following that, Ares gritted his teeth before quickly taking out his cell phone.He dialed the number with which Alle had called him earlier, which was picked at the first ring.“Where are you?” He inquired as soon as he placed the cell phone against his ears, but in the following second, he seemed to perceive an irritating and disgusting aura, greatly confusing him.“Are you searching for her?” A cold voice came out of the phone, further intensifying the disgusting aura leaking out of the cell phone."Her, who? Whom are you refe
*****"Channeling my qi to deal with you insignificant ants is nothing but a mockery and smack to my face," Ares remarked coldly as he observed the fifty men who had encircled him. “You!!!” They became incredibly infuriated, hearing Ares and seeing how little regard he had for them despite them being fifty times his number.“Kill this fucking bastard already!” The leader yelled and following that, the fourth-nine men rushed at Ares in unison, some with nightsticks, some with knives, some with cutlasses, and some with bottles.Watching this, however, Ares did not falter. Instead, he remained unmoving as they neared him aggressively.Just two to three feet from the fifty men closing in, each swinging their weapons in perfect synchronization, fully aware that they couldn't underestimate him, Ares's eyes flickered with coldness. “Now!” He growled from his throat and with that, he took a single step forward.The following moment, bang! Someone was sent flying.“You fucking bastar
*****“Water! Please just a drop of water!!!”“Please grant me death!”“I’m begging you, please release me from this hell!”“I can’t handle this anymore!”“Mercy please!!!”These were the sorts of cries that filled the dark underground bunker as soon as Ares stepped through it.The voices resonated with the most excruciating agony Ares had ever heard before in his life, nearly matching the intensity he felt when Jackal was consuming his soul and spirit just days prior.Not to be overlooked, Ares's eyesight had greatly improved, allowing him to see clearly even in the darkest conditions. As a result, darkness held no power over him anymore.He was able to see all the people making these cries, causing chillness to hysterically run down his spine and goosebumps to crawl amok on his skin.Within the bunker, several individuals were suspended in the middle of poles, the shafts piercing through their heads and emerging from their private areas.Some were just blood figures, with
*****“Hello.” Marcus smiled heartily at Ares, looking down on him.Ares’s hair immediately stood at the end. He had been too distracted by the scene of the father and daughter duo earlier to notice the formation wall at their front.He felt a massive level of danger and he immediately wanted to roll away. The following second, however, he realized that all his Qi had been locked, rendering him useless and turning him into a mere mortal.Just then, bang! A fist hit him square in the face, sending him flying rapidly toward the father and daughter duo. The next second, A Ares was knocked into the formation screen again and he was sent flying back before crashing down just as he was about to reach Marcus.“Hahahaha!” Marcus laughed heartily, then he glanced at Manager Mo, who was also incredibly excited, seeing Ares suffer.“You’ve done a perfect job, managing to control him here and making him lose guard.”“I…” Manager Mo smiled sheepishly and wanted to respond when suddenly, he
