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
The first guard growled with hostility, and within a flash, he swung his hardened fists forward!!James remained rooted at his spot. When the fists were about to make an encounter with him, he shifted his weight forward, ready to strike back. In a swift motion, he raised his hands, countering the guard's fists. This stunned the first guard all of a sudden, blinking repeatedly as he watched James grasp both of his hands, holding them in place. Before he could react further, James had released the guard’s hands from his grip, pushing him a few steps away. With a huge slam of his hands together, the terrible force generated from the clap was enough to throw the guard off balance, sending him rolling twice on the ground!The pressure the guard felt made his head spin, and his mind started buzzing with different scenarios until his head smashed against the pavement, after rolling twice. Crack!The sound of a bone cracking could be heard, accompanied by a piercing shriek from th
Without warning, Kael lashed out his hands, delivering a series of nonstop slaps to Marcus' cheeks!! Pah!!!!!!!Immediately, Marcus' cheeks swelled up visibly, turning red. The pain numbed his face, making him unable to say anything. Once James gestured for Kael to round up the punishment, the latter stopped the slaps, stepping back from Marcus. The series of harsh slaps made Marcus dizzy, his eyes going round. He almost lost his balance, his feet shaking and warm blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth. Pointing at Kael, the chief Editor could only grumble, clutching his swollen chubby cheeks with his other hand. " Do you need some more?" Kael stood akimbo, twitching his lips as he taunted, " I bet you enjoyed it." A bottomless fury surged from Marcus' heart, while his face twisted into a snarl! He couldn't take this! How would high-ranking personnel like him be subjected to this sort of ridicule and humiliation?! After being slapped severely! This was a blatant sla
As soon as Chairman Cole processed all the words from President Richard, his face grew white, bloody draining from his skin rapidly! His head started buzzing uncontrollably as if he just realized he had done the worst thing in his life! " You .........are.........."' Richard waved him off immediately and said, " It's unnecessary to regret now." Chairman Cole's face turned pale with Richards's words and he rubbed his temple nervously. Marcus who listened to this, hissed immediately, refusing to believe what Richard just said. " Chairman Cole! Don't listen to him! The president has been brainwashed and doesn't know what he is saying!" Then, he skipped towards Chairman Cole with his fat belly, trying to counter Richard's words. " What the president said can't be true. It's all made up. The news is evidence of this. We have all witnessed how this James Donovan was dragged as the penniless and worthless live-in son-in-law of the Thompson. Please, let's not make a mistake and be
Once the call ended, Chairman Cole's face twisted into a vicious one, seizing the half-dead-looking Marcus. " You better get prepared cos this is just the start! I will make you pay for almost destroying everything I have worked hard for!" Thud! Marcus collapsed weakly on the ground, losing control of his bladder immediately. His face resembled someone, that just had an encounter with a terrifying ghost! Without thinking, he knew he was finished! Chairman Cole paid no attention to him, sneering coldly. He turned away and rushed back into the media house, his heart thumping in his chest due to immense nervousness. One could even see how some beads of sweat had pulled out from his forehead, dripping slowly down to his face. As he pushed the door opened, his trembling eyes caught sight of James and Kael, talking to the receptionist. Quickly, he ambled towards them, patting his thighs to keep himself calm. He had no idea James was such a powerful figure. But why was he drag
