GRAND RETURN OF THE WAR LORD Chapter 10
In a dimly lit room, a shadowy figure stood facing the wall. He had a cigar in his mouth, with a black hat that was slightly tilted to the side. While he was there, thinking about all that has happened in to him in the last twenty seven years if his life, down to the last three years when he lost his most trusted soldiers to the cruel hands of death in the Red Canon operation, he heard someone knock."Come in," the shadowy figure ushered in the gentle man who stood at the door knocking."General," the gentleman acknowledged with a courteous bow as he walked into the dimly root. "One of my men said he spotted someone that looked like Malachi Volkov,""Are you sure about that?" The shadowy figure asked, his back still turned against the young man who had come to deliver the news to him."Yes General, and it might interest you to know that he's with Mr. Lee, which in a way proves that he's the one" The young man further added."Where did you spot them?" The shadowy figure inquired, his

Immediately after the packages were delivered, and well accounted for by Logan and Jaime, Logan flagged down the first cab that pulled up in front of him, settling into the back seat and giving the driver the hospital’s address. He had no business pondering over the van anymore. Whatever it was that had sparked that form of recognition within him as far as that cab was concerned was no longer important.He had promised to visit Mr. Lee and since there was still time to do so, he decided to go over and check how he's doing. Mr. Lee had been everything to him, and the reason he had agreed to go into that contract marriage with Sophia Riven.As they wove through the city streets, he couldn't help but wonder if the life he was living at that present moment was all that there was to him. There have been days when he felt he had a life that was different from what he had now, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt delusional.He decided not to dwell too much on them, focusing

“Ring, ring,” “Will you answer that damn call?” Sophia shouted as Logan’s phone kept on ringing.Logan had eventually moved in with the Riven family after Sophia asked him to move in with her after they had the wedding contract finalized in the court registry and a little show off wedding in the presence of family and friends.Mr. Lee was still in the hospital, and would be discharged home in two days’ time. Logan had finally decided to tell Mr. Lee about everything with the Riven family when it’s time to have him discharged home.That evening, Logan was in the bathroom taking his bath when his phone began to ring incessantly.Rushing out of the bathroom to have the call answered, Logan realized that it was an unknown caller.“Hello, this is Logan speaking. Who am I speaking with?” Logan asked.“You don’t have to worry yourself about who I am,” the caller replied, chuckling slightly.Logan couldn’t hide his fear and surprise at the same time, wondering who this strange caller is, and

The following morning, Logan decided to visit the gym. He had noticed the atmosphere within the Riven’s mansion, and it was obvious that no one wanted him there, especially Sophia. Feeling that he needed somewhere to cool off for a moment, Logan decided to visit the gym. Arriving at the gym where the familiar scent of sweat and metal invigorated him, Logan slipped into his workout routine, hoping to burn out a few calories. But just as he moved through his workout, he felt the need to try out something new, something different from the usual he was used to. Sometimes, it seemed to baffle Logan why he liked the gym. He had always found the workouts there interesting and every time he visited, he always seemed to steal the show. Eventually, he noticed a particular machine which appeared quite catchy and felt the need to give it a try. From the way the machine appeared, Logan could almost feel it was a specialized piece that targeted his core, and he was eager to incorporate it i

The laughter from the gym had barely died down when the boss and the other fellow walked up to the guy who had been humiliated by Logan. They had been watching from where they stood hoping that their man would teach Logan a lesson, only to be greatly disappointed at how things later turned out. Logan had not only dealt with him, but had greatly humiliated him, which came as a sting on the boss’s ego."Where's that son of a bitch?" The man kept on growling, as he shook off the dust from his clothing, trying to suppress the feeling of humiliation that had enveloped him. Not in his wildest dreams had he imagined that someone like Logan would humiliate him, and he wanted to get back at him."I saw him going towards the rest room," the other man replied. "He thinks he's smart, but I'll make him regret ever crossing paths with us," he let out an angry breath. "Asshole!" He snarled. He couldn’t have imagined that in his wildest dreams someone like Logan would make him come crashing on the

"You really want to know where your friend is?" Logan asked, avoiding the eyes of the second man who stood there grappling with fear of what could have been the reason why his friend was no where within sight.He was beginning to enjoy whatsoever was happening in the gum at that particular hour. Not once had he imagined that he could be that strong to take down such a bully. For some unknown reasons he could tell that there was something more to where he had gotten the strength from.The only place he had seen such things happening before were in the movies, and in most cases, such stunts were only pulled up by well-trained military personnel. What even seemed to surprise him the most, was the fact that the more the men threatened him, the less afraid he was of them."What the hell did you to him," the second man asked, trying as much as possible to make sure that Logan doesn't get to see through him that he was afraid.Logan pretended not to have heard him as he moved towards the sin

"Guys are you okay?" The boss shook the other two men, but there was no response from them, as the beating they had received from Logan had rendered them unconscious. Logan had really dealt with them in such a way that it’ll take them months of therapy to recover from the beating."That son of a bitch," the boss growled as he made an attempt to drag the two of them out of the rest room, his rage boiling heavily within him. Logan had crossed the boundaries and he wasn’t going to let him get away with it.But first, he had to help his men up. He had to find a way to help them, and if possible send for an ambulance to take them to the hospital. With so much struggling, he managed to drag them to the door, breathing heavily.Considering everything that had happened, he could tell that Logan wasn’t just an ordinary man. The way he had beaten up his men was suggestive of the fact that he must have been trained specially for combat.The gym suddenly fell abuzz with murmurs, as everyone was i

Logan couldn’t contain the anger that surged through him at the ridiculous request of Sophia who had called to have her lunch pack delivered at her place of work just because she had left it behind while hurrying for work that morning.Logan was greeted by the stewardess the moment he stepped inside the house, who subsequently delivered Sophia’s message to him.“Ma’am Sophia had asked that you bring her lunch pack to her office. Here it is,” She added as she handed over the pack to Logan.Just as Logan was about retreating to his room to get changed, Rosalia walked into the living room.“Good morning mother,” Logan greeted, only to be rudely dismissed by Rosalia.“I’m not your mother,”And as if that wasn’t enough, Augusta walked in, and her facial expression was worse than that of Rosalia’s.“What are you still doing here?” She barked at Logan angrily. “I thought Sophia asked you to bring her lunch pack to the office?”‘Yes, grandmother, that’s exactly what I’m about doing,” Logan re

The weight of the leather-bound journal in Chloe’s hands felt heavier than it should have. It wasn’t just paper and ink—it was history, secrets, and, most importantly, danger. She ran her fingers over the worn cover, her mind already racing with questions. The old man’s words still echoed in her ears."Because it’s already too late."Chloe swallowed hard and flipped through the pages. The journal was filled with names, dates, and locations, but her eyes were drawn to a single phrase repeated in different entries—Red Canon of the Canon Forte.She glanced up at Mr. Buma, who watched her with weary eyes. "Tell me what you know. What exactly was Canon Forte? Was it also part of the blood moon?"Mr. Buma sighed, rubbing a hand over his bearded chin. "Canon forte was indeed an extension of Red Blood. A final phase. The real reason behind everything we did."Chloe frowned. "Final phase of what?"Mr. Buma hesitated. Then, he pulled a chair and sat down, gesturing for Chloe to do the same. "Ye

The streets were quieter than usual as Chloe left the train station, the conversation with Max still replaying in her mind. The weight of the folder in her hands felt heavier than it should, as if the information inside carried something more than just words—something dangerous.Sliding into the back seat of her car, she barely acknowledged the driver, a middle-aged man with a thick beard and sharp eyes that flicked toward her in the rearview mirror. His silence was almost unsettling, but she didn’t care."Drive," she ordered, her voice clipped.The car rumbled to life, rolling away from the abandoned station. The shadows stretched long across the pavement, the streetlights flickering weakly as if struggling to stay alive.Then, her phone vibrated.She tensed, pulling it from her coat pocket. A blocked number.For a moment, she hesitated. Then, she answered.“Ms. Chloe,” a deep, raspy voice greeted her.She felt her pulse spike. That voice—it was familiar, yet distant, like an echo fr
CHAPTER 32
Across the sprawling city, in a dimly lit office that smelled of old paper and burnt coffee, Detective Max sat at his desk, absently tapping his fingers against the thin file marked “CONFIDENTIAL.” The ticking of the clock on the far wall was the only sound accompanying him in the late hour, a relentless reminder that time was slipping away.Three days.That was all the time Ms. Chloe had given him to find something—anything—on a man named Logan.Yet after hours of combing through databases, sifting through every Logan recorded in New York's system, Max was no closer to an answer than when he’d started. There were plenty of men with that name, but none matched the peculiar details Chloe had given him. Logan wasn’t just an ordinary man. He fought like a trained operative, moved like a shadow, and disappeared just as easily. That alone set him apart from the rest.Max rubbed his temples, pushing away the headache forming at the base of his skull. His once steaming cup of coffee sat cold

Logan had barely stepped into the hall when he felt the weight of a hundred eyes land on him. The grandeur of the Rivens Health Care Foundation inauguration was nothing short of spectacular—chandeliers glowed with golden light, the scent of expensive champagne filled the air, and the chatter of New York’s elite hummed in the background. Yet, the moment he arrived, the warmth in the room seemed to shift.The whispers started almost immediately."Look at him—finally decided to show up.""Late as usual. Sophia deserves better.” “I still don’t understand why Sophia will settle for someone like this.”"He barely fits in here. A complete psycho.”Logan ignored the murmurs, but his stomach twisted. He wasn’t one to care about appearances, but tonight, the judgment weighed heavier than usual. Maybe because deep down, he was already beginning to accept the fact that he was nothing but a complete outsider in this world of wealth and influence—a world Sophia seemed to glide through effortlessly
CHAPTER 30
Sophia had checked the time on her wristwatch severally, wondering what had kept Logan so busy all day that he had forgotten that he ought to be by her side at the inauguration ceremony of the Rivens health care foundation.At first she had thought he was probably busy with work and had decided not to disturb him with calls, but as the guests started arriving one after the other, she became so angry. She remembered telling Logan not to stay too long as his presence was needed in validating her position as the new chairman of the foundation."The number you're trying to call is currently switched off, please try again later," came the repeated response from the network provider as she tried several times to reach Logan, and that made her anger boil even more.Just when she was about losing it, the door opened and Logan walked in."Where have you been?" She didn't even give room for any welcome greetings.********Ms. Chloe spent the entire day thinking about Logan and the fight that ha
CHAPTER 29
The leader of the loan sharks, a tall man with quite an intimidating look, stormed over to the table where Jaime and Logan were seated. He had been looking everywhere for Jaime and was glad to receive his call earlier that day. Coming over to the meet with him wasn't to take back the money that Jaime was owing them, but to deal ruthlessly with him.When he saw Jaime with Logan, he had interpreted it as Jaime coming over with someone who'd fight alongside himself, and it sparked up the anger that had been boiling deep within him.Without a second thought, he slammed his fist on the table, causing glasses to rattle, and grabbed Jaime by the collar, yanking him forward.Jaime became speechless, not knowing what to do as the leader of the loan sharks shook him violently hitting his back against the hard wall. “You are tired of running, huh? You thought you could hide forever, huh?" The leader of the loan sharks growled, his eyes filled with rage like he was about to suck the life out of
CHAPTER 28
Logan could see what Ms. Chloe was doing, trying to flatter him with words so he'd let his guard down. But he wasn't going to give room for it. He had made it clear to her that he was a married man, and the fact that his marriage contract with Sophia was still on, he didn’t want to do anything that will appear as a breach of contract. Moreover, he was really in love with Sophia, and couldn’t help but wish she’d see it for herself and reciprocate the love."Thank you," Logan replied, still not giving Ms. Chloe was trying to get from him. “Are you always like this, Mr. Logan?” Ms. Chloe asked.At that point, all he wanted was for her to just let him be. He wished there was a way he could reach out to Jaime to have the meeting taken to another venue, but he knew it was already almost becoming too late, and he didn't want Jaime to be in trouble with the loan sharks once again because of his own personal stuffs.Just then, Jaime entered, his sharp gaze immediately spotting Logan and givi

Logan settled into a corner booth at the bar where he had agreed to meet up with Jaime, scanning the room as he waited for Jaime whom he hadn’t seen nor heard from since he moved in to start living with the Rivens.Jaime had called him immediately after he had dropped the call with the strange number that had called him, and had told Logan that he was currently in need of some money as certain loan sharks he had taken money from were looking for him, and had threatened to deal with him if he doesn’t pay back what he owed them.“How much is the money?” Logan had asked.“It’s $20,000,” Jaime had informed him.“Alright Jaime, just call up the loan sharks and ask them to meet up with you at the upscale restaurant in town. I’ll be there waiting for you to help you settle your debt,” Logan had promised, owing to the fact that he still had Sophia’s debit card with him which she had dropped earlier while being harassed.Logan knew just how ruthless these loan sharks usually operated and since
CHAPTER 26
Sophia, shaken and trying to steady her breath, looked up at her rescuer. In the dim streetlight, his face was mostly obscured by the cap, and his voice was gruff and unfamiliar.She couldn't help but wonder who this brave man was that had showed up at the time when she really needed someone to come to her aid, as she couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if he hadn't shown up.A thought had first occurred to her that it might be Logan, but she wasn’t so sure anymore. The jacket and the cap that he was wearing had pushed away the thought, as he couldn’t remember Logan having such a jacket and such a cap.She had met those guys who had tried to molest her while she was waiting for a cab to pick her up to the venue of the pool party. They had pulled up in front of her in their flashy car seeing how hot she was looking and had offered to give her a lift, seeing that they were heading in the same direction.Sophia, seeing it as an opportunity to show off that she was being adm
