*****“You… you bought a house for us?” Both Alle and her father found it exceptionally difficult to believe.They both exchanged gazes and each of them saw the massive shock in each other’s eyes, realizing that they hadn’t misheard Ares.One of the unacknowledged challenges for the two earlier was going back to their former neighborhood, located in the slums, as it was a hub for gossipers, hypocrites, and bullies.Now, however, the duo did not know what to do.They went dazed for a long time before Old Man Lean finally stuttered. “We… we… we can’t accept this, it must have cost a fortune, right?”Alle stiffened for a moment upon hearing her father, but then she nodded her head in acknowledgement of his words.“Please take them,” she scrambled to pick up the documents on the floor and handed them back to Ares.Ares, however, had expected much of this, so he wasn’t shocked at all.Instead, he smiled. “I’ve already bought the house in your name, anyway, so just accept it,” he s
*****Without saying anything, Ares rushed Old Man Lean to the closest bedroom in the villa and gently dropped him to the bed.“I will need all the medicines I’m about to list,” he said to the maids with a serious voice that gave no space for objection.Just as Ares was preparing to call out the names of medicines to the workers who had begun listening attentively, Alle burst in and caused a commotion, weeping and trembling with trepidation. “I want to take my father back to the hospital!”“I can treat him,” Ares responded without hesitation, ignoring Alle’s present emotions before looking back at the maids.He wanted to continue from where he had stopped, but Alle wouldn’t allow him."Since when did you become a doctor? Have you forgotten that we attend the same school, and your department isn't related to medicine per se?” she yelled with frustration. “Please Just let me take my father to the hospital, please!”She sobbed, unable to bear seeing her father, who was battling
*****‘What’s going on?!!’ Ares was incredibly confused and his mind was utterly topsy-turvy right now as he stared at chaos in his front.He swallowed hard with tightly furrowed brows and began to calculate his chances.Finally, after a moment, he crawled inside the car and then pulled the terrified Alle inside.“What… what’s going on? Are… are we at the wrong place?” Alle asked, panicked, and began to sob, utterly terrified.Ares couldn’t help but sigh, understanding her emotions, but he had no time to calm her, so, he shook his head after a moment and brought out his cell phone, dialing Andrew’s cell phone.It rang more than ten times before it was eventually picked up and Ares’s heart instantly dropped upon hearing the cries for help from the other side of the call.“Are you okay?” He hurriedly inquired, scared that something would have happened to Andrew."Grandmaster! Those bastards launched a sudden attack on my base and have already taken down most of my men!" Andrew y
**********“Just try your best to stay together and engage the enemies, help will soon arrive!” Andrew yelled at the top of his lungs while taking two of the enemy leaders head-on.“You said help would arrive? Kakakaka! In your dream!” Tenor roared with excitement and punched hard toward Andrew’s face, but Andrew managed to evade the attack and even counterstrike, sending Tenor back with five steps.Before Andrew could look toward his men, however, something had flown toward him, and before he could even think of evading it, a sharp pain hit him, causing blood to gush out from the place he was hit.Fortunately, Andrew was a god of war who had faced countless enemies in his life, so, he was able to act as though nothing was wrong, facing Tenor who had already rushed back at him.“You bastard does not deserve to live!!” Andrew growled with hatred and once again punched hard at Tenor, but suddenly, he felt a trace of weakness hit him, making his fist slower than it should have.An
*****“Hehehehe!” Tenor immediately cackled after his attack had met the target and he felt the blood that splattered all over his body.Without even looking to ascertain the result, he became incredibly excited, knowing that he had just hit a once-in-a-liftime jackpot that would likely ricochet his life to a level he had never before hoped in his life."Bastard! Weren't you just using me to keep him back? You hadn’t considered this, right?" He looked at Gbenga and taunted with excitement.Hearing the laughter, Gbenga smiled wryly, realizing that all his effort had just gone down the drain. He sighed, ignored the small fries, and then looked at Tenor. ***Tenor was expecting to see shock and disbelief on Gbenga’s face and those were exactly what he saw on his face."You didn't think I could kill..."Tenor was planning to further taunt Gbenga when without any forewarning, he felt a sharp pang in his neck which swiftly escalated to unbearable pain.This pain was just so sudden. But
*****“Will you stop or should I help you?” Closely following the terrified enemy with neither slow nor fast pace, Ares inquired, sounding like the harbinger of evil itself.“Just let me be!!” Gbenga screamed, his voice filled to the brim with dread and helplessness. “Haven’t you already killed my comrade and our subordinates?” He inquired.He wanted to cry at this moment, but no tears would come, especially knowing that Ares was intentionally not catching him already, meaning that Ares was intentionally toying with him, already certain that he wouldn’t be able to escape.Gbenga continued crying, wishing for nothing right now than to escape.Ares, however, only has a cold smirk of mockery on his face.He continued chasing his enemy with an unhurried pace until finally, Gbenga was on the verge of exiting the building.Ares’s eyes finally flashed coldly. “I will make a move now,” He announced like a devil, sending Gbenga into terror.Ares was about to act when without any warnin
***** Without the new leader’s contact information and no idea where else to find him, Gbenga drove straight to Mason’s house after escaping. “Have you completed the task assigned to you?” Mason, who was preparing to step out immediately inquired as soon as he sighted Gbenga. Gbenga grinned with arrogance. He was one of those who usually flatter and butter up Mason when Mason was still the leader, always acting subservient. Even after Mason was ousted, Gbenga still respected him, knowing he was the son of an elder. However, at this moment, Gbenga’s view of Mason had completely changed. It was as though two equals were now looking at each other, and Mason noticed this massive change, causing him to frown. ‘Could it be my imagination?’ he pondered, but then he shook off the irritating feeling. “Where are your other two companions?” He inquired, wondering how only Gbenga could be back. “And what does that have to do with you? Gbenga arrogantly inquired, leaving Mason completely stu
***** After arriving home that day, Rebecca became absorbed in thought, contemplating how to fulfill the assignment Mason had given her. She hesitated to invite Ares and Olivia alone, aware that such an action would expose her, especially after she had already dropped all pretenses with Olivia. After locking herself away in her room for a long time, however, she got an inspiration, and then without wasting any more time, she jumped to her feet and rushed out of her room. “Young mistress…” The maid outside the door, who had been fearfully waiting for Rebecca’s exit cried out in pain after she was knocked against, but Rebecca did not stop nor spare the pitiful maid a glance. "Where are you off to, dear?" Her mother called out from behind her. “I’m going to save the day, Mother, and make our life better.” “Huh?” Rebecca’s mother, a beautiful middle-aged woman was confused, but before she could ask more questions, Rebecca had already disappeared. The woman shook her head and retur
