*****‘What… what just happened?’Tasha, Olive, and even Olivia went daze for a moment, not knowing what had just happened.A second later, both Olivia and Tasha’s gaze went toward Olive.“Hubby!” Tasha screamed and forced herself to her feet, running toward Olive who presently had blood running down a corner of her mouth.“Are you okay?!”“What happened?!” She panicked, asking a series of questions.Meanwhile, Olivia was suddenly startled badly when she felt an abrupt presence before her.Realizing that it was her husband, she subconsciously calmed down before something occurred to her.Without knowing where she gained the sudden strength, she leaped to her feet and clutched Ares’s hand tightly.“Let’s… let’s go. Let’s escape now!” She pleaded desperately and then pulled Ares’s hand forward.At first, Ares wanted to reject the idea and rather wished to deal with Tasha and Olive right there and then.After a moment of thought, however, he decided to follow Olivia as he did
*****Ares immediately frowned when he heard his wife pleading for the insane b!tch.“Don’t tell me you are pitying this sort of person who is better off dead,” he inquired, glancing at Olivia.Although he saw the dread on her face, Ares didn’t know what it entailed.As soon as Olivia heard him, however, she heaved a deep sigh.“You can’t kill her,” she repeated seriously, trying to pull Olivia’s hand.Ares’s frown intensified. “But…”He wanted to argue, but then Tasha chuckled as though she had gone insane, no longer having the look of fear she previously had on her face.“You fool, don’t tell me you’re really scared? Why don’t you kill me now.”She taunted Ares, wanting him to respond, but she was unfortunately ignored.“Wife, you know you can’t pity this sort of insane person, right?”“For her to go through the trouble of kidnapping you for her husband, it shows how much she loves him, and now that I’ve killed her husband...” he suddenly paused, making sure his wife was
*****Ares’s face was etched heavily with a frown at this moment as he recalled the narration he just heard from Olivia.He finally knew the reason behind her anxiety, because as it was, The Vanguard, as his name had suggested was once Rex City’s strongest general.He had protected Rex City from rain, flame, and fire for many years and he was once regarded as the number one protector.The reason why this legend was no longer known has to do with his later action.Long ago, probably before he, Ares was born, this legendary god of war went on a war to fight for his city, however, before his return, the enemies had found their way into the city and had already gone on a killing spree.Killing young, old, adult, innocent, and criminal. It was a day that would never be forgotten in the history of Rex City.This killing spree went on for hours before the legendary Vanguard’s God of War returned.However, the deed was already done by then and the killed innocent ones already exceeded
***** Ares had initially forgotten about the numerous guards surrounding the factory, some of whom had beaten him up earlier, but now... his expression instantly turned nastily cold, especially as he saw the person kneeling before him whom he hadn’t seen earlier. “The last time you crossed my part, what was my warning to you?” He slowly inquired with a frosty voice, causing Dee to shiver all over. Meanwhile, the other muscular guards, witnessing their leader kneeling to a young man, were thoroughly stunned at this moment. They had previously been curious about why their leader had gathered them to wait at the door, but now... their gazes on Ares turned fearful, wondering how powerful he must be to have reduced their arrogant leader to such weakness. As for Dee, he couldn’t respond for a while before finally, he had no idea about whether to laugh or cry. “Master, I… I swear to God, I had no idea that I was going against your wife all along, I…” “Silence!” Ares suddenly barked, in
***** After what felt like an eternity, the abandoned factory was once again deserted and returned to how it had always been. This silence, however, was soon disrupted by the careful footsteps of two people. The owners of the footsteps appeared horrified at this moment and their hearts were pounding hysterically in their chests to the extent that the beat filled the hall. After making sure that the place was really deserted, they made their way toward the small room and then they hesitated greatly. “Will… will you go in first?” Tasha’s hacker looked toward the driver and inquired; his fear very evident on his face. “I... why don’t you go in first instead, I will come in behind you,” the driver responded. The two had been present from the beginning to the end, but they dared not show themselves after seeing the place overwhelmed with soldiers. They initially thought they would find ways to save their young mistress, however, they realized that she wasn’t taken along which caused
***** The Vanguard went completely blank and wouldn’t return to his senses even after a long time. “I must have misheard,” he finally mumbled to himself and shook his head hard. “What did you just say happened to my daughter?” he asked again, doing his best to maintain a calm voice that came out sounding hysteria. “Ma…” The driver yelled again, but before he could speak further, the Hacker interrupted. “We are very sorry, master, we failed to protect the young mistress,” he said with regret and resignation, knowing that there was nothing to hide anymore since the beans were already spilled. The Vanguard, realizing he hadn’t misheard the first time, suddenly shook, and the cell phone he was holding fell hard to the floor. He trembled hysterically before also falling to his butt. “Master! Are you okay?!” a guard near the middle-aged man rushed to support him. However, as the guard took a few steps closer to the Vanguard, an invisible force struck him, causing him to explode, sca
***** ‘Where is this warm energy coming from?’ In the car, Olivia, who had fallen asleep for a while suddenly thought from her subconscious mind and in the next second, her eyes flustered before snapping open. What she saw next was the side profile of an incredibly handsome young man who was focused on the road ahead with a serious face, seemingly to be pondering something. ‘So handsome!’ Olivia unconsciously thought and following that, her heart became filled with butterflies. ‘Is this the usual saying that real men typically become even more handsome whenever they are busy?’ She pondered, unable to tear her gaze away from the handsome face. Had it been when Olivia was still refusing to accept her feelings for Ares, she wouldn’t have bothered to fantasize about him and would have even forced herself to think of him in a repulsive way. Now, however, her heart was only filled to the brim with love and she subconsciously squeezed the hand holding hers, causing Ares to promptly look
***** Neither Ares nor Olivia spoke another word throughout the rest of the ride home, yet, even the slightest trace of tension could be felt in the car, instead, it was filled to the brim with love and affection. And upon the couple’s face, unhidden excitement was heavily etched. “We are here,” Ares stated as he packed in front of the not-so-big nor small villa, startling Olivia up from her reverie. “So quick,” she responded subconsciously before making the effort to open the door. Before she could, however, Ares had already opened it for her, saying; “You are in a fragile condition now, so, I wouldn’t want you to stress yourself again.” “You!!!” Olivia immediately glared at Ares with a red face, embarrassed to the core. Ares only winked playfully at her and with that, he helped Olivia out of the car, ignoring her untruthful angry look. They turned around to walk to the villa when they saw Ava, standing with a thunderstruck expression on her face as she gaped at both Ares and
