**********“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
*****"What do you think of this town?" Sitting in the passenger seat of a luxurious Lincoln vehicle, Olive couldn't help but suddenly smile warmly and admiringly at Olivia, who couldn't seem to stop gazing out the window.“It is really beautiful,” Olivia responded with a deep sigh, unable to get enough of the beautiful scenes around her.“It appears to be on the same level as Rex City, even a bit better.”“Hehehe,” Olive beamed with pride. “You haven’t even seen anything. I will show you through this beautiful town very soon and it is only then you will tell me whether this city is only slightly better than Rex City.”“Sure, I can’t wait,” Olivia responded, giving Olive a daring look.The two joked for a while more before Olivia abruptly looked seriously at Olive. “So, when are we meeting the investors?”“This…” Olive went blank the instant he heard Olivia’s sudden question.He stared blankly at her, not expecting Olivia to not want to waste any time.“Looks like you can’t
*****“Why?” The Old man gazed askance at Rebecca after a moment, deeply perplexed and stupefied by her sudden outburst.“Is there something you really aren’t telling me?” He inquired.“I…” Rebecca immediately became awkward, realizing that she had just lost her composure.“Actually, I feel that the quicker I mend my ways with my cousin, the better for me it would be, as the latter it becomes, the more I might not want to do the right thing again,” She explained, but her grandfather continued staring blankly at her, showing that he did not accept her explanation.After a moment, however, he sighed heavily. “I don’t want to misunderstand you again,” he said and then redialed the number he just called.…..Within the hotel room, Olivia, who was insanely starving was on the verge of going for launch in the hotel dining hall when a knock sounded on the door.Checking, she realized that it was a waiter with a trolley.“I did not order anything, did I?” She inquired in a stupor, th
***** “You mean you won’t leave this hospital until your father wakes up?” Ares stared speechlessly at Alle and inquired. Finally, he became slightly infuriated, not knowing why Alle must be so adamant. Alle, however, failed to notice his expression. “Yes,” she responded to his question without hesitation, making Ares go silent for a moment after hearing her before he finally spoke with a tinge of anger. “Could you just stop all this childishness of yours already?!” “Huh!” Alle was immediately dumbstruck by Ares’s sudden anger. She stared speechlessly at him for a moment and wanted to ask questions. Before she could open her mouth, however, Ares continued. “Have you still not learned your lesson even now?" He became genuinely frustrated. “Your father tried chasing you away yesterday because he thought he would become a burden to you, yet it did not occur to you to change your thinking?” Ares immediately clenched his fists and then forced out a deep breath before forcing the bre
