Battle of the immortals Chapter 47: Escape
Lorenz was sitting in his study, his right leg crossed over his lap, smiling. He was glad to have received a response accepting his proposal from Mawuta.Suddenly, as usual, the room began to vibrate heavily, with things shattering all over the place. He felt disturbed and scared. Immediately, Grimnar appeared before him.Lorenz was disappointed. He no longer felt scared of Grimnar's form. He hissed and said, "Could you stop scattering the place? Every time you come, there are better ways to appear." He began to pick up the scattered materials on the floor, muttering to himself.Grimnar's dark figure loomed over him, but Lorenz kept his focus on tidying up. "I'm serious, Grimnar," he said, not looking up. "This is getting old.”Grimnar watched him, his eyes glowing with a strange intensity. "I have news," Grimnar said, his voice deep and echoing. "Important news."Lorenz paused, his hands full of papers. "What is it?" he asked, still kneeling on the floor.Grimnar began, "It's good th

Royce went through the basement, holding his bleeding arm, and could still hear soldiers looking for him. He winced in pain, feeling very thirsty. He heard footsteps behind him but saw no one when he looked back. The footsteps ceased. He continued moving forward, holding his bleeding arm and searching for an escape route. Luckily, he found an opening into the villa's sewage pipe. Just as he entered the pipe, a bullet whizzed past him, narrowly missing and causing damage ahead. He heard a voice mutter, "Missed it," followed by the cocking of a gun. Royce moved quickly through the pipe as heavy gunfire erupted behind him. Covering his nose from the stench, he pushed forward, trying to move through the sewage. The smell and filth made him gag, but he pressed on, determined to escape. The pipe was dark and slimy, making every step difficult. His body ached, and he felt weak, but he knew he couldn't stop.After moving and struggling through the slimy, stinking pipe, Royce heard a famili

Royce sat in the dark cell, his arm still aching from the rough treatment. "Aethon, where are you?" he muttered to himself, glancing around the space. He had been hoping, praying, for Aethon to show up and rescue him.Days passed, each one feeling longer than the last. Royce paced the small cell, looking at the barred window, hoping to see a sign of Aethon. "Come on, Aethon, I need you," he whispered desperately, his voice breaking.But no one came. The guards brought him food and water, but there was no sign of Aethon. Each night, Royce lay on the cold, hard floor, staring at the ceiling, his hope fading. "Aethon," he said again, his voice now just a faint whisper.While Royce lay on the cold floor looking defeated, a soldier came towards his cell door and banged it hard. Royce startled up, looking at who banged the door. It was a soldier bringing food for him. The soldier forcefully opened the metal door, the hinges creaking loudly.The soldier entered with a neat bowl, covered and

"Royce, I understand how you feel. I know you are stressed out. Feel free to talk to me," the nurse said softly as she closed the cell door slightly. She secretly took out a syringe from her pocket and moved closer to him.Royce eyed her suspiciously. "Why are you coming close?"The nurse continued to approach him, keeping her voice calm and soothing. "Don't worry, you'll be fine," she said, her eyes fixed on him. Before Royce could react, she quickly jabbed the syringe into his arm. He cried out in pain, clutching his arm, but within seconds, he felt his body go weak. His vision blurred, and he struggled to stay conscious."What's happening?" he mumbled weakly, his knees buckling.The nurse stepped back, watching as Royce crumpled to the floor. "Just relax," she said quietly, though he was already too far gone to hear her. His eyes closed, and he slipped into unconsciousness.The nurse returned from the cell as a soldier locked it behind her. She approached the group of soldiers wai

Lorenz stood in front of a large crowd and many cameras. The national flag was behind him, and everyone was waiting to hear what he had to say. He looked confident and ready."My fellow citizens," Lorenz began, his voice clear and strong. "Today, I have good news about our discussions with Mawuta. We have agreed on a deal that will benefit us all."He paused, looking around at the people and the cameras, making sure everyone was listening."We have agreed to trade our oil for Makuta's gold. We will start by paying them nineteen hundred dollars for each ounce of gold. This price will be for the first three months to show we are committed to this partnership."Lorenz smiled and continued, "This deal will bring more jobs and help our economy grow. We are building a future where Parkland thrives."People in the crowd started clapping, happy to hear the news. Lorenz nodded, thanking them for their support."Thank you for trusting in our decisions. Together, we are moving forward to a brigh

Dan walked out of the room quietly, noticing that the noise had reduced and there were no more footsteps. He began to move carefully, trying not to raise any alarm. As he walked, he almost made eye contact with a soldier who was scanning the area. Dan quickly bent down, breathing heavily, and tried to hide from the soldier. He moved while lying flat on the floor, using a short wall as cover. After taking a few steps, he found a door slightly open. He quietly slipped through it. Unknown to him, a soldier had already spotted him from afar. The soldier watched as Dan entered one door and came out through another, following him quietly without Dan knowing.Dan reached a balcony and saw a rope near some piled oil cans. He decided to use it to jump down. Just as he threw the rope down, a soldier appeared and said, "Hands up!" The soldier cocked his gun, ready to shoot if Dan disobeyed. Dan immediately raised his hands in surrender but still wanted to play smart.Dan grabbed the rope, which

Lorenz was becoming eviler, and his heart hardened to fulfil Grimnar's wish to gain power and influence over all the world's nations.While in his office, deep in his dark thoughts, he came up with an idea. He needed to frame Mawuta and make them commit a big crime against him. He called for one of his closest soldiers, who would do anything good or bad for him.Without wasting much time, there was a knock on the door. Lorenz already knew who it was and shouted, "Come in!" The door opened quietly, and the soldier walked in, closing the door with a soft click.The soldier walked close to Lorenz, saying, "You sent for me, sir."Lorenz smiled and responded, "Yes, have a seat. I have a lot to discuss with you." The soldier took his seat, wondering what Lorenz wanted to talk about. Lorenz glanced at the door to ensure they were alone and said, "I have an important message for you."The soldier leaned forward, listening intently. "What do you need me to do, sir?"Lorenz began, lowering his

There's a man here, and he's been shot!."Immediately, the pilots set the plane on autopilot. Both of them ran to the bathroom. Surprised at the scene before them, some passengers stood up to check what had happened.A young lady with her little daughter also stood up to see what was happening. When the lady saw the dead body on the floor, she quickly covered her daughter's eyes. "Don't look, sweetie," she said, pulling her back to their seat.The pilots and the air hostess looked at each other, knowing they had to act fast. The plane was flying over the sea. "We need to get rid of the body," one pilot said.Without wasting time, they found an opening near the back of the plane.

"They gave us damaged gold. I thought they were better than that."Her friend defended Mawuta. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, don’t jump to conclusions. It might be a set-up.""Set-up?" the first lady scoffed, eyeing her friend with disbelief. She hissed in annoyance and began to walk away, shaking her head.****Good evening, everyone.

Joe made his way back to the villa, his anger boiling over. He wanted to confront Lorenz and expose his wicked acts to the world.He entered the villa and stormed toward Lorenz's office, forcefully barging the door open. Lorenz was at his desk, working. Noticing Joe's rough entrance, he looked up, his eyes narrowing as Joe moved closer to his desk.Lorenz eyed Joe from head to toe, then finally spoke. "What is it? Haven't I paid you off?"Joe's voice shook with fury. "I have been loyal to you all these years, and all you could pay me back with is the dead bodies of my family. I swear, Lorenz, you will pay for this."Lorenz stood up and got in Joe's face. "How dare you call me by my name! You must be a bastard, son of a monster!"Joe's anger surged. "I promise you, Lorenz, you will regret this," he said, beating his chest in frustration.But Lorenz just laughed loudly, snubbing him and returning to his work. Joe's frustration peaked, and he clenched his fists, staring at Lorenz intentl
Chapter 61: Wickedness
Joe swam through the deep sea, but his life jacket gradually failed him. He saw a shore up ahead, but reaching it was now the problem. As he forced himself to swim, a shark came to his side. Panic surged through him, and he began to swim as fast as he could, the shark pursuing him relentlessly.With all his energy left, Joe spotted a boat passing by and managed to grab hold of it. The fishermen on board shouted in alarm, trying to shake him off."He's a pirate! Chase him away!" one of the fishermen yelled, shaking his oar.Seeing the shark closing in, Joe begged, "Please, help me! There's a shark!"The fishermen saw the shark and, realizing the danger, pulled Joe onto the boat just in time. As the shark drew closer, one of the fishermen swung a big hook at the shark's head. Blood poured into the water, and Joe watched in horror as the water turned red and the dead shark sank into the depths.As Joe caught his breath, the fishermen began to question him."Who are you?" one fisherman as
Chapter 60: Pollutant
Joe slipped into the ship through a small maintenance hole, wearing a mask. Darkness filled the lower deck as he moved quietly through the ship. The sound of the sea was muted here, replaced by the hum of the engines and the distant chatter of the crew.He heard voices and footsteps approaching as he moved through the narrow passageways. He quickly ducked behind a stack of crates, holding his breath as two crew members passed, their conversation fading into the distance.Once the coast was clear, Joe continued moving. He found the storage area where the gold was kept. Two security guards stood at the entrance, their attention on the corridor. Joe crept up behind them and grabbed a cloth from a nearby crate, swiftly choking one guard while covering his mouth to prevent any noise. Realizing what was happening, the second guard reached for his gun, but Joe acted quickly. He sent the first guard unconscious with a powerful punch and grabbed a fire extinguisher, swinging it at the second g

Joe was taken aback. "Sir, what's going on?""You think I don't know what you've been doing?" Lorenz continued, his voice rising. "I sent you on a mission, and you’re out there partying, drinking, wasting time! Do you have any idea what’s at stake?"Joe's heart pounded. "Sir, I—""Shut up and listen!" Lorenz interrupted. "You have one week to do your job. If you fail, you’ll wish you were never born."The line went silent as Joe absorbed Lorenz's words. "I understand, sir," he finally replied, his voice shaking.Immediately after the call ended, Joe began to grumble and hiss loudly. "What nonsense! He ordered I shouldn't do anything, and now he's on my neck. What a stupid old fool," Joe said, throwing his phone into his pocket.He stood there angrily, thinking about what to do next. The lady he had been dancing with came over and said, "Hey sweet, what's the problem with you? Come dance with me," as she continued to sway to the music.Without looking at her, Joe pushed her away.

It's a day to party!"The whole country erupted in joy upon hearing that. Wherever people were, they shouted in celebration.A popcorn vendor was about to hand a hot bag of popcorn to a customer.

Chapter 57: Suspicion
The ship from Mawa and the ship from Parkland always agreed to meet at Port Mirath. After two days of sailing, Captain Henry finally reached the port, arriving early before the boat from Parkland. The crew members on the Mawuta ship waited patiently.Finally, after much waiting, the crew members and Captain Henry heard the ship's horn from Parkland and rejoiced greatly. They all clapped loudly, their claps echoing over the sea waves.Captain Morgan from Parkland got off his ship and met Captain Henry. They had become good friends since the trade began. They smiled and hugged each other tightly as they watched the cargo being exchanged."Hey, don't let that fall over!" Morgan screamed as he saw one of Mawuta's workers roughly handling the oil barrels. He turned to Henry. "This is clean gold, and it's so shiny.""Oh yeah, we produce nothing but quality," Henry responded.Morgan asked, taking out a note and pen, "So how many sacks?"Henry replied, "Those are 200,000 sacks of gold, more t
Chapter 56: Trade Begins
"Load those sacks well, and make sure they are well-tied! I won't condone any mistakes from anyone!" Joe shouted authoritatively, ordering the workers in his unit to carry the sacks into the heavy-duty truck. The truck was set to transport the gold to the ship that would take it to Parkland.The workers were picking up the sacks roughly, and Joe struggled to monitor them. They moved haphazardly, causing him frustration. "Okay, you know what, everyone, form a queue now! I don't want to see anyone picking gold without being in this queue!" he commanded. The workers immediately obeyed and formed a line.One by one, they came forward and picked up gold sacks. When a worker picked a sack that seemed too light, Joe called him back. You can do better than that. Drop that and take this one," Joe said, handing him a heavier sack. The worker, without hesitation, picked it up and carried it on his arm, making Joe wonder why he hadn't picked it up at first.The queue was moving steadily, and the

Joe searched for a quiet spot to call Lorenz. He looked around and dialled Lorenz's number, realising no One Was Nearby. The phone rang a few times before Lorenz picked up."R. President, thank goodness you picked up. I finally got the job, but I noticed something..."Joe paused, rechecking his surroundings to make sure no one was approaching. Seeing the clear coast, he continued," R. President, I realised these people were so nice to me. Do you have a hand in this?" He smiled as he asked.Lorenz laughed loudly, his voice echoing over the phone. "h, just a kid, Joe. You need to learn a lot."Lorenz laughed again and said, "Don't worry about that. Leave that to me. Just play along with them and be nice. Be a good boy.""h yes, Mr. President. I will surely be," Joe responded, smiling.LLorenz'svoice turned serious.
