‘’ I think we should plan on how to double our guards, arrange the news into a false one with solid evidence, and most important is to eliminate our huge hindrance, James Donovan!’’Leonard threw out a suggestion, which immediately rendered the rest silent. In fact a pin drop could be heard at this moment. ‘’ This is great. Why didn’t we think of this earlier?’’ The aged patriarch of the Rogers laughed out suddenly, breaking the awkward silence, and he nodded from the screen, agreeing with what Leonard just said.‘’ Because of the news, several people have surrounded the private hospital, causing damage, but I will make sure they pay for this, especially James Donovan.’’ Leonard added, snarling through the screen. Isabelle twitched her lips visibly, a look of skepticism roaming across her face as she questioned instead, ‘’ Will this truly solve the mess?’’ ‘’ It will,’’ Zhao spoke up in a cold tone after a while, drifting his eyes away from the screen. ‘’ Together with my new
Watching James walked in without any regard, Steven exploded, his face twisting as his chest tightened rapidly. He looked like he was going to suffer another heart attack.Steven gaped, his eyes dilating, and he quickly clutched his chest with his hands. At the moment, he wasn’t expecting to see James due to the so called bad things he had heard about him from Juliet.Who could be proud of such in law, not to talk of James’ penniless status. Just his presence alone was enough to frustrate him! Emily turned her body to James, who was approaching her and shook her head, frowning. ‘’ You shouldn’t be here.’’‘’ I can’t let you go through this alone.’’ James stated simply, refusing her words. He had prioritized his wife’s protection, especially since she was now aware of his real identity. So how could he allow anyone to bully her? Not even her biological parents!Pressing her lips together, Emily said nothing, facing her parents. Juliet wasn’t pleased, scowling, and she snappe
" Actually, the main reason why I called is to know about your real identity. Is there more to your god of war status? I want to know everything about your life in the past five years."Her voice lowered as she demanded from James seriously.James watched her, his gaze unwavering, knowing he couldn’t avoid this no matter how he tried. ‘’ How long have you been thinking about this?’’ His voice was full of a teasing air, arching his brows. ‘’ The moment I got to know about the truth, and I swear, if you don’t tell me now, I will leave with my daughter. You wont see us again.’’ Emily squinted her eyes fiercely, threatening James in an impatient manner. For some reason, there was something strange about her today, in which James failed to comprehend. He countered immediately, ‘’ Okay fine, i will tell you. ‘’However, he was in doubt, unsure if telling Emily what she demanded would lead to change of things. Of course, change was inevitable. Moreover, he was already prepa
" What will you rather have me do, Emily?"' James's eyes pleaded for understanding as he grasped Emily's hands, his voice laced with conviction. "I kept my true identity hidden to protect you, Emily. As the God of War, my enemies would stop at nothing to harm those I love."Emily's gaze faltered, her eyes welling up with unshed tears. The pain and betrayal etched on her face cut deep into James's soul. "Why did you keep it from me, James? Didn't you trust me?" Her voice trembled.James's grip on her hands tightened. "It wasn't about trust, Emily. It was about keeping you safe." His words spilled out in a rush, "I couldn't bear the thought of losing you, not after everything we've been through, especially knowing we have a daughter now." Emily's expression softened, her anger yielding to compassion. "You should have told me, James. I can handle it." Her voice barely above a whisper.James's face contorted in anguish. "I'm sorry, Emily. I was wrong to keep it from you." His apol
As Zhao discovered the truth, his mind raced with tons of questions, trying to come to terms with the sudden unexpected information. He had guessed there could be more to James' identity, but he didn't believe the latter would be the truly rumoured god of war. Even when Victor had mentioned it casually to him, he refused to acknowledge it, dismissing the thought. However, his rationality was now hunted by truth. At this moment, Zhao's thoughts were jumbled, calculating various way to deal with this unexpected information. But no matter what, James Donovan has crossed the line. His only beloved grandson died because of him. Thus, whether James Donovan was the god of war or not, he has to avenge his son! Therefore, his eyes turned colder like a freezing ice, unconsciously crushing the sheet of paper which contained the hidden information about James. Getting the information costed him a lot, ranging from a high fee and a high risk, though it was worth it. Crushing the paper c
James raised his head coldly, his lips almost feeling hard.." My sister didn't die. She was taken by the Tarlose and imprisoned for trying to expose their hidden secrets."Hearing this, Kael was stunned, unable to react for a split second.He stood straight with his hands clasped behind him, furrowing his brows. This new information was something unexpected for him.‘’All these times, I had thought Winter was dead, and several times I have blamed myself for not been able to save her when she needed me.’’ James pulled himself up from the seat, his heart heavy with the sudden realization. ‘’During my days in the battlefield, there’s no moment I think of Emily, and I wouldn’t remember Winter, knowing I owe her too much for not saving her.’’ He maintained a straight face but the killing intent he exuded, refused to decrease.Kael listened carefully to James, the frown on his face deepening. He couldn’t believe the Tarlose had fabricated such a lie for them, deceiving them complet
Because of the sudden news, the ward had fallen into an abyss of silence, the tension palpable. Zhao observed the expressions of Leonard and Victor, hooking his lips mischievously. ‘’ It seems you are correct, Victor. Your guess is the truth.’’ ; Leonard’s face turned grave, a grim look clouding his face. ‘’What are you saying Zhao?’’‘’I don’t believe this!’’ Shaking his head, Victor snapped, disagreeing with Zhao’s sudden news. ‘’How can that shameless and penniless bastard be the god of war?! He is suspicious but he can’t hold that huge title! That will be disastrous.’’ A crease deepened on his forehead, as his eyes glinted with disdain!‘’ It is.’’ Zhao didn’t pay attention to Victor’s outburst. He snapped his fingers, ‘’ Bring me the files.’’ He ordered, his gaze lingering on Victor. ‘’ Recall carefully, your first encounter with me at the hostel. You told me something.’’ Immediately hearing this, Leonard faced his son, furrowing his brows deeply. He pondered on what Zha
Before they could take a step further, a deep unfriendly voice rang out, interrupting their movement….. ‘’ Hey! Who the hell are you, people?!’’ The bodyguard standing at the entrance of the media house, yelled as he pointed at them. He let out a sigh that was filled with disgust, his eyes seizing up James and Kael. James and Kael paused in their steps, their indifferent gazes swept across the bodyguard, who looked as if he was ready to stop them at all costs. Impatiently, Kael snapped at the guard, twisting his face out of irritation. ‘’ Do we have any business with you?’’The guard’s forehead furrowed, a sign of being displeased at Kael’s statement. Retorting, he marched forward angrily, ‘’ You don’t have any business with me but your presence is not needed! Sunshine Media House is a unique media house that stands amongst the list of large media houses in the country. Stinky and wretched people like you are not welcomed and don’t deserve to be here!’’His eyes narrowed, add
