2024-10-29 19:42:56“Kid, you better check your facts before you go getting hot and bothered. Now I am going back to training. Hope you figure your shit out.” And with that Andrew turned to go back to his training.
Jay tried to stop Andrew from turning his back on him “I said I want to see your foremen not talk with you, you ungrateful pissant! If you ever want work again you will do what I say!”
“Kid, I don’t work here, I live here, I train here. Now piss off,” said Andrew over his shoulder.
Jay Eisen spluttered “You don’t even work here?! What are you some vagrant squatter? You will leave now!” with that threat, Jay tried to pull out a handgun. Unfortunately, Jay was not one skilled in the use of such a tool, and the magazine dropped to the ground. Well, he still had one round, right? Jay pulled the trigger.
CLICK.
When you try to use a gun, the loudest noise in the world is a CLICK with no bang.
Jay’s eyes got big and he scrambled for the magazine, scooping it up and jamming it into the gun.
Raya commented ‘I thought guns were uncommon….’
Andrew replied ‘o they are. Some of the rich families still have a few, and if they served, they may have an old service piece. This moron clearly stole this one from daddy.’
‘do we need to be nervous about him having it….’
‘No, I think he would be lucky to shoot it at all and even luckier to not shoot his own foot in the process.’ Said Andrew, keeping a sharp eye on jay.
Jay stuck the gun out again and CLICK.
Andrew chuckled and walked over to jay.
“Here let me show you.”
Jay just kept his arm pointed but was simply too confused to realize Andrew had grabbed the gun from him.
“Look here, you have to tab here.”
‘CLICK’,
“and pull here” the slide made a ‘shlick’ sound as it slid into place.
“Check that you actually loaded one, and make sure to click this lever here. Here you go.” With that Andrew placed the gun back in the startled Jay Eisen’s outstretched hand.
“Now aim over there.” Said Andrew and he fixed the gun position and pointed a finger at the manager's trailer.
BANG. With the sudden recoil and loud discharge, a startled jay dropped the gun.
“well don’t drop it!,” said Andrew in mock alarm. “At least you got it to fire…. I think you missed the whole building though…” said Andrew bemused. “These things take practice. Here let me take that before you get hurt.” And with that, Andrew swiped the gun back from jay’s hand and disassembled it.
“I… I… you need to get out of here! I will have the police toss you out!” jay said as he wiped out his phone and began dialing.
“Hello, Emergency dispatch? Yes, I am at the Eisen construction site and there is a squatter here I need to be thrown out!”
Andrew just stared at him dumbfounded. Was this guy really this stupid?
Jay hung up with a smug look and turned back to Andrew.
“you bastard, thinking you can take advantage of our workers not being present and just move into our site. You will have a roof over your head tonight! Let you think about it in JAIL!” said jay in triumph. He would make his father proud and get back their site from this street thug.
Andrew was just speechless. Was this kid really that dumb? Raya just chuckled in the background of his mind. “guess we will see what comes of that…” said Andrew to Raya.
As jay waited for the police, he thought the thug’s mannerism was odd. Was he talking to himself just now?
Soon there were sirens heard heading toward the site.
Two police units pulled into the site. They spotted Jay in his business suit and walked over. “Mr. did you call us?”
“Yes! I am Mr. Jay Eisen of Eisen company! This is our site! This vagrant is squatting on our site! Remove him immediately!” screamed Jay Eisen.
The officers were a bit indignant at the attitude, but they were used to big men of all favors and saw that the man Jay pointed to was clearly covered in dust and sweat. He must be some sort of day laborer.
They approached him with their batons out.
“Sir, Mr. Eisen informs us that you are trespassing on Eisen company land, you will need to leave at this time,” said the first officer.
Raya just kept laughing in the backdrop of Andrew's mind. ‘so how are you going to deal with these men? It's not like you can keep ignoring the world, apparently. Trouble has a way of finding you. So, will it be smashing your way out or will we see your silver tongue finally?’ said Raya.
“Just shut it for now ok?” said Andrew as he turned to the two officers. Whoops. Did he say that part out loud? Oh well.
The officers were taken aback, not expecting a laborer to talk back to them.
“Officer, it would be best in your line of work, to check who is who before you make demands. You will find that Mr. Jay Eisen has no right to this property. He is in fact the one trespassing” Said Andrew firmly but still respectfully.
“Now see here, this is Eisen Company land, you need to leave peacefully, or we will have to force you off!” said the second officer.
Andrew frowned. This was not at all how he wanted to start life in Durres. He was trying to retire from the battlefield and had little tolerance for politics now that he was out of the chain of command.
“Gentlemen, if you will please join me in the office over there I can show you the paperwork that clearly shows that EISEN Group did indeed transfer this to the Fire Dragon Corp. thus this is no longer an Eisen company site,” said Andrew.
The officers both looked at each other, clearly unsure of the situation. Could this day laborer possibly have documentation? What was going on?
In the distance, jay shouted “What is taking so long? Toss his ass out! I have things to do!”
Andrew began to walk to the small mobile office building on-site that would normally be the foreman’s office. The two officers decided it would be best to follow.
As they approached, they each noted the very expensive-looking motorbike parked out front. While they may not know which big shot it belonged to, they both knew that a bike like that was worth a huge fortune. Only someone that was mega-wealthy could own something like that. Perhaps there was a bigshot inside the office!
As Andrew reached for the door, they heard Jay shout again “hey he is not allowed in there! That is our private office space!”
Andrew simply took out a key and unlocked the door in front of the officers.
“if I am not allowed, why do I have a key?”

Everyone was open-mouthed. As the officers walked up to the door, one noticed a hole near the top of the door. “What is this?!” the officer said. Andrew looked at the whole and exclaimed, “Hu, I guess it he did manage to hit the building. I will have the charge him with the repair bill.” “What are you talking about, sir?” said the first officer. “What? You didn’t see the gun in his hands? He shot it and clearly missed me, but I originally thought he missed the whole building too. Guess he managed to hit there” said Andrew. “Gun?! He has a gun and shot at you?” “I believe I already said he had a gun and the bullet whole clearly shows what he hit. Hard to classify that as shot 'at' me when he can’t aim to save his own life.” Andrew strolled into the office space and over to the desk where he had the plans for his training site and shuffled through for the contract. After located the needed documents, he handed them to the

Shane Eisen was sitting in his office reviewing a new proposal that had come in to make a bid with the DREADNOUGHT INVESTMENT group for a new building in Durres. If they could secure this contract, it would be a huge boost to the company. Thus far it looked like things might actually work out, and in this, his niece Roisin possibly had some benefits. Her female figure was quite the eye candy for local businessmen and Shane was sure that is why the Dreadnought Investment CEO, Liam, had been willing to sit through several rounds of negotiation with Roisin so far. While a final agreement had not been reached, if Liam was willing to sit through this many pitches, it was a good sign. Many businessmen could not even get a meeting with such a person!Just then, his phone rang with a number he did not recognize.(If you are not reading this on the GoodNovel app or site, you are on a stolen site, and not supporting the real author)“Hello, the is Shane with Eisen G

At the same time – construction site.Andrew finished up his practice and realized there were still a few hours of daylight left.He flipped open his cell and called Jackson.“Sir.”“Jackson, this site will work fine. I have a few hours of free time. Is there anything that needs my attention?”“Well sir if you are free, it would be good for you to meet Mr. Liam. Right now, I have him running the Dreadnought Investment group. There is an office prepared for you there on the top floor, that will run the whole Fire Dragon Corp. I have assigned a vice President for you, who will also act as your secretary and liaison for any business needs. She is extremely capable. Her name is Arya Croft,” said Jackson.“Very good, I will pass there within the hour.” Andrew said as he hung up.Jackson quickly called ahead to Mr. Liam.Liam was packing up his office for the day when he saw his p

Andrew made his way over to the Dreadnought Investment group. He knew from Jackson that this company had been established in its current form just a few years ago. Jackson briefed him from time to time, and he gave input and resources as needed. Thankfully Jackson was a capable person and had been ever since he had been assigned to Andrew’s team in the field all those years ago. When he got out and came back home, he quickly became Andrew’s top force and right hand in many ways. When he stepped up to the receptionist, he asked politely to informed Mr. Liam that Andrew was here to see him. “Mr. Andrew is it? I am afraid I do not have you, or any for that matter, on the schedule… Mr. Liam does not normally take visitors that are not scheduled ahead of time.” “Miss, please inform him, and let him decide. I am confident he will be down shortly.” The secretary frowned but picked up the phone. “Mr. Liam, there is and Mr. Andrew here to see you. He does not

Just as they were concluding, a knock sounded on the office. Liam jumped up, furious someone would interrupt. But when he answered the door, he froze. Arya Croft, Vice-Chair of the whole Fire Dragon Corp stood at the door. While Liam had met her on previous occasions, it was rare to see her now except in passing, being that her office was on the top floor of the same building. “President Liam, Is this Mr. Andrew I have been told about?” “Yes, Ma’am.’ “When you are done with him, please send him my way.” “Well actually, we are finishing now,” said Andrew as he stood from the desk. “Shall we?” And with that, he left the room to follow Arya upstairs. Liam was ready to melt and felt a huge pressure leave with Andrew. Upstairs was an impressive area. The whole floor had a clearly fung shui focus and Raya instantly could sense that it was well done. There was even a large waterfal
Civilian Dragon lord Chapter 13 Roisin
Roisin Eisen was one of Durres’s cities great beauties. To her, being told this was next to telling her that a bear craps in the woods. It was a useless bit of information and in no way felt like a compliment these days. Her beauty had never brought her a suitable man nor had it been a huge asset in business. Instead, she was envied by women who felt inferior and thus targeted by all manner of mean schemes. She was practically stalked by men of low IQ and even lower hygiene habits. Her own mother insisted on setting her up on an untold number of blind dates. It was true that she was of a good age to marry, and she would not mind finding someone she could enjoy being with. However, right now, she was successfully climbing the ladders in the family business, and working hard to get her family of two out of the squaller house they lived in. well, perhaps family of three if you considered Emily who practically lived with them now. Both Roisin and Emily were making great strides in

Roisin looked at him curiously but noticed as Andrew subconsciously touched an earbud and realized he must have been on a phone call when she walked up. She wondered absently who Raya might be. A coworker at Dreadnought Investment? A girlfriend?“I don’t believe we have met before. But my mother told me to meet you here. Is now still a good time for us to catch a meal together?” this blind date was off to a grand start Roisin thought.Andrew was utterly lost, but here was a beautiful woman who knew his name and wanted to have dinner.‘if you don’t say yes I will do it for you.’ Snarked Raya.“yes, yes of course have a seat,” said Andrew in an instant as Raya snapped his confusion.“I know these blind dates are a bit awkward, so sorry for that. My mother has set me up on enough.” Started Roisin.“Blind date? Ah yes, they can be quite awkward but with a beautiful woman

“Well Miss Eisen, I do think there are opportunities for you to look at in the future. I have a proposition for you to consider,” said Andrew.“Yes, have already given me much to consider. Wait, a proposition you say? What do you have to offer?” asked Roisin noticing Andrew’s attention had shifted back fully to her from his moment of absence.“I believe the Fire Dragon group would be interested in working with your company. They have resources few can fathom. They even wholly own Dreadnought Investment as you may be aware. I can connect you with Miss Croft, who would be the one to discuss possible future cooperation, but I can give you a taste of what such cooperation might benefit your company. How much would a brand new formula be worth?”“A new formula? Something the push my company forward?”“Well, the formula is actually very old but would be something the modern world has not seen.

Andrew led the way as they headed back toward the great hall. “Come, it is time to return to Durres.” As they passed into the grand hall, Alexa let out a shocked squeak as two men grabbed her arms from either side. Anika and Andrew spun back to her and Anika drew a dagger. Conner’s two younger brothers held Alexa. “Lookie what we found. A murderous little bitch.” Lord Devos stepped out of the shadows then with a man that Alexa felt bore a striking resemblance to lieutenant Tannis. “Ah, goddess Anika, you saved me a lot of trouble bringing this traitor to me. I thank you. the Praetorian guard has already been summoned. After all, the death of the son of Senator Palmos cannot hardly be overlooked.” “Lord Governor Devos, you will release Alexa now. If you don’t, you will find I am far more than you can afford to offend.” Andrew said coldly. “Son, don’t play here.” Governor Devos said, snapping his fingers. Twenty home guard stepped out of the shadows and surrounded them. General Ezra

Alexa marveled at the militaristic atmosphere as they entered the palace of Devos Mansion. There were guards stationed at the entrance who bowed respectfully as their badges automatically lifted the gate without the guard needing to activate it.When they arrived at the front doors of the castle, six guards came to the side of the car and stood at attention. They exited the car and Anika led the way into the grand hall.“Seems they might have expected us.” Anika said softly as Alexa took in the numerous guards who lines the alcoves of the grand hall. Many were hidden in shadow and if her keen hearing had not detected their breathing, or the subtle expansion of their chests against taught leather and breast plates, she likely would have assumed they were statues. At the far end, a throne sat empty. A steward stood off to the side and raised his voice.“The Red Dragon, Anika Archeron and company.”Nothing happened, and the room fell eerily silent.“Are the devos not in?” Anika asked A

The ride to Kaibain started out quiet. Alexa stared out the window, lost in thought. The realization that she had killed one of their own soldiers over a stupid argument galled her. Raya joined her thoughts, ‘He pulled a weapon on of god of war. That is tantamount to treason.’ ‘He didn’t know I was a god of war. You only just made that appointment. I don’t wear any insignia, nor am I even in this army.’ ‘Alexa, you are my warrior. You were there under Andrew’s command, with Anika, Nash, and the rest. Everyone of them is a known god of war and every member of the dragon squad outranked that pissant. That is over 1000 soldiers from across the land that are KNOWN to outrank him. no one travels in the company of the gods of war without outranking that traitor. He still chose not only to disrespect you but to pull a weapon on you. He disobeyed a direct order from the supreme commander, and chose to use deadly force on a higher ranking office

Alexa unstrapped her blade and handed it to Andrew. Her wolf, Cole had been his name before he took on the designation of #2, handed over several blades as well. Nash checked the other soldiers to make sure they were not hiding any weapons.Satisfied, Andrew glared at Tannis, but opted to let Alexa fix this herself. “Winner gets the title and honor. Loser is demoted. No weapons. Submission wins. BEGIN!”The word begin had barely left Andrew’s lips when Alexa and Cole exploded. Alexa’s black hair billowed in the wind and she rushed forward, and then Cole powered before Her, arm out stretched. She caught hold of his arm and he swung her, tripling her speed and he added every bit of momentum he could to her flight. Alexa rocketed at the soldiers and flipped into a feet first attack at the last second, crashing into two soldier’s mid sections. They were rendered unconscious as they flew back, smashing into the side of a transport truck, the wi

“Alexa, Raya has bestowed this upon you. You are now officially one of us. As far as the king is concerned.. Meh, he does not need to know. However, I have the ability to now grant you full authority as a god of war. You will not be subject to any authority except mine and Raya’s, and with this rank, you also now have authority second only to mine and the other gods of war.”Alexa blanched, realizing just what was being bestowed upon her. “Are you sure?”“It is not up to me. This is Raya.” He said calmly. “Now, It is time we get back to our own tasks in Durres. There is still plenty left undone there, and sadly we have new business to attend.”Alexa remembered her dead wolves and nodded.“Go ahead and load up. I will be out with Anika shortly.”Alexa headed out, flanked as soon as she left the meeting hall by several wolves who had been waiting outside the doors.When th

Alexa’s eye’s opened to light streaming into her eyes. Pain radiated around her neck. The light moved away and was replaced by Anika’s face.“Lay still, Alexa. Your windpipe is damaged, but you will be fine. Likely just some bruising. Here, I am going to help you swallow this pill.” Anika gently helped her open her mouth, which sent spasms of pain along her jaw. The pill dissolved instantly when it hit her tongue. She closed her eyes as the pill did its work.When she opened her eyes again, it was to the gentle rays of dawn peaking over the lake. They had moved her to the shore and had packed sleeping bags around her. Her neck felt stiff and when she reached up, she felt the rigid frame of a brace around her neck. Anika’s face loomed over head then.“Hey, sleepy head. Don’t try to talk, try squeeze my fingers to answer me.” Anika held out two fingers. Alexa obeyed. “Now, Are you hurting?”A

Howls erupted around her as Alexa’s wolves went battle mad. The sound aroused a spark of consciousness. Raya was screaming in her mind as silverly wings enveloped her mind. Alexa’s eyes flashed with defiance as she reached up and gripped the flat top of bloodbane. Any mortal that tried this would be sliced or simply have the blade moved down out of their grip. Alexa’s grip however, viced onto the blade so tight, its motion toward her neck halted completely.The commander looked at her, shocked. Clearly he had intended on placing the blade flat against his fist and pushing it away from him, across the top of his hand, taking alexa’s head off in the process. He had maneuvered the blade a bit slowly. Perhaps out of caution, knowing its deadly power, or perhaps due to bloodloss. Either way, the blade was now frozen, inches from Alexa’s neck. She still dangled in the air, legs suspended by his massive grip but her defiant eyes were not dying like they

Alexa walked along the cliff face, glancing over her shoulder at the rock debris that covered the cave entrance. Her stomach roiled as she thought about the wolf that she had lost. She vowed to visit his family and ensure Andrew and Anika would take care of the family from now on. Lost in thought she didn’t see the crack in the rock as she passed. The shlick of a crossbow bolt being released had her spinning around and dropping low as she looked for the attacker. Behind her # 26 slumped to the, a bolt protruding from his chest, as red blood leaked from the corner of his mouth. “NO!” she cried, her black blade flashing in her hand. “Down!” she waved at the men behind her and the took cover, but not before several more bolts flew, taking down several more of her men. Carter grunted as a bolt caught him in the gut. “Alert! We are under fire” Alexa barked into her mic. The whole squad rushed in her direction, cautious of the incoming bolts. To her horror,

“For fuck sake that could have gone better.” Anika spat as they set down two injured wolves. Anika sported a slice across her bicep but it didn’t look bad.“The numbers were agaist us. But they needed to be taken out. A unit that size moving around our back door?” Said Nash, appearing out of the dark.Gad materialized next to him, “Question is what now? They know we are here. We are not going to get that kind of surprise again.”Alexa tagged her communicator, “Jackson, can you those with Thermals get a count for us?”“Give us a minute.” Came the reply.“How are our numbers here?” Nash asked, looking around.Alexa grimaced, and started looking for her wolves. “Wolf pack, sound off!”All but one answered. 28 was MIA. Likely dead. “Minor wounds mostly. A few took bolts in that last volley.” She said to Nash.“They have a cav
