Noah got out of the car.With Andy helping him, he sat in his wheelchair.Soon, they all headed towards a warehouse.Inside the warehouse…In the store, a lady was blindfolded.She was sweating profusely with tears welling in her eyes.Rieka was tied to a chair.Only her sobs filled the air.Soon, Rieka heard footsteps approaching.With a sorrowful tone, she asked. “Who is there? Please help me.”“Remove the blindfold.”A manly voice ordered.“Alright.”After the blindfold was removed, Rieka saw a handsome man wearing a black shirt.The man was Dex Grichy. He was smoking tobacco. Slowly, he sat on a chair and stared at her.With smoke coming out of his nose, he said.“Look what they did to you. Can’t they respect the fact that you are this beautiful? I must confess, I’ve never seen a lady as beautiful as you are.”Rieka was irritated and the smoke from the tobacco kept choking her.Dex asked, “Tell me any of Noah’s secrets that you know.”With a shaky voice, Rieka said. “I don’t und
After some minutes of discussion, they made their way to the entrance of the warehouse. They ensured their boots didn’t make any noise that would draw attention to them.Jenny said with a low voice. “This is the only gate that leads us in. However, there might be other access points known by the people who work here.”Clack! Clack!Soon, they heard the sounds of boots walking about. They were from the men who were watching over the warehouse.With the help of Andy, they swiftly passed through the gates without making a sound.With a low tone, Noah said. “Let’s split into two. Some will follow me to the left while others will follow Andy and Jenny to the right.”So, fast they did that.“Ahh,” one of Jenny’s squad members yelled. She had hit her leg against a stone which made her fall. She was with Noah alongside six others.“Who is that?”A voice rang out as they heard footsteps approaching in their direction.Noah quickly lifted her.Shuu!Noah gestured as he placed his hands on his
Coldly, Dex replied. “I am Dex Grichy. You murdered my father and my aunt. Do you think you will be able to escape death now? I wanted it to be so peaceful but you complicated everything by killing our men.” “A member of the Grichys family?”Noah shook his head. With an indifferent tone, Noah said, “They all deserved to die. They paid for their actions. Why didn’t you come for me directly? Why did you have to involve Rieka in all this?”Mockingly, Dex said.“Noah, you are not remorseful. Well, I’d like to see what you can do when your legs are no longer active.”Dex pulled a dagger out and raised the gun he was holding. Then he said,“Choose your death.”Noah kept quiet.“Can’t you talk? Should I decide for you?”Inwardly, Noah was devising how he was going to get rid of Dex without Rieka getting hurt.Finally, Noah spoke.“I don’t want to know why you are doing all this. However, I promise that I’ll obey you as long you don’t kill her.”Dex nodded, “I won’t hurt her. By the way, she
Noah felt getting hitched with Rieka would complicate things further especially for her.Noah looked at Rieka and said, “I have to leave now.”With a smile filled with pretense, Rieka nodded.Noah and Andy left.At the Supreme Villa.Noah was resting when the doorbell rang.Andy answered the door.“Welcome! To what do we owe this visit.”Andy said to a man who was fully clad in a military uniform.The man walked with Andy following behind him.“Have a seat,” Noah said.The grand commander took his seat and stared at Noah.Due to his influence, the grand commander was aware of what transpired over the night.“Noah, you went on that mission without seeking my assistance.”The grand commander said with an arched brow.Noah smiled. “I did not want to disturb you, you were busy. You gave me the information I needed and that’s enough.”“That’s not the main reason why I’m here.” The grand commander cleared his throat.“Hmm, why are you here then?” Noah asked curiously.The grand commander e
“Santos Junek?” Lois replied with a smile.“I have never heard of that name before. Why will he take interest in me without approaching me for once?” Rieka said with an arched brow.Lois sighed, “It’s possible you’ve not been paying attention to other men because of Noah. He gave me his card so anytime you are ready to see him, it is just a call away. I also heard he is a military man. From the convoy I saw accompanying him, I can confidently say he is far richer than Noah. Getting hitched with him will make Noah regret ever treating you in this manner.”“Hmm!” Rieka reasoned with what Lois said. A thought of revenge crept into her heart.Why was Rieka having such thoughts? Having a relationship with someone wasn’t by force.“Give me his card, I’ll call him. I want to get some information from him.”Rieka asked politely.Lois picked a card that was on the table and handed it to Rieka.So fast, Rieka picked up her phone and called the number which was on the card.“Hi, It’s Rieka. My
Noah glanced at the Grand Commander. The news about who will become the next Chief of Army was yet to be announced publicly.“I have an urgent assignment to do here and it has to be kept a secret. Apart from all of us here, who witnessed my arrival, no one must know that I have returned.”Noah was led to a large room. It was the Supreme Ruler’s room in Fristico.Ever since Noah left, no one had dwelled in the room. However, the maids always kept it tidied daily.Noah freshened up and sat on the couch as he stared at the space.Knock, Knock, Knock.Some knocked on the door.Noah had already made it clear that he wanted to be left alone till he said otherwise.Who then was knocking on the door?With a frown, Noah went to open the door.Noah welcomed a man and a woman in.“You, so you had plans of coming too. Why didn’t you just say it? Did you have to make it a surprise?”Noah said with a smile beaming on his face.“I had to come along with her. We can’t just leave you. You need us mor
At that moment, Santos picked up his phone and placed a call.“Hi Santos, is anything the matter? You hardly call me.”“Jacob, I can see you know me well. We need to meet tonight, it's urgent.”Jacob was a high-ranked soldier and he was a member of the military council.All along, Jacob has been the one giving information to Santos about all that was happening because Santos handsomely rewarded him. Jacob was also a close friend of the former Chief of Army Staff.Now, he felt something was happening and he couldn’t figure it out. He had to hear from Jacob.Nevertheless, Jacob had assured him that he would become the next Chief of Army staff.Meanwhile, at the Supreme Ruler’s residence in the military base.Noah, Andy, and Giddy were standing.Noah rubbed his forehead and said, “This is more complicated than I had imagined. I don’t want to get rid of anyone but I can’t help but defend myself.”“I have a suggestion.” Giddy paused. Then he continued, “Let us visit Santos. Not to harm him
“What?”Santos expressed and gave a mocking laugh. “Who do you think you are?”Just then, he pulled out a gun and pointed it at Noah.Andy and Giddy also pulled out their guns and pointed at Santos.“I have nothing against you. I can see your greed and selfish interest is what is making you want the position of the Chief of Army staff at all cost.”Slowly, Noah approached Santos.“One more step and I’ll pull the trigger.” Santos roared.Noah sighed and he took another step. Bang!Santos pulled the trigger.Swiftly, Noah dodged it.Thank goodness no one was standing behind him.“All that happened here has been recorded. It would be used against you. You are not even worthy to be called a soldier.”Noah uttered with a frown.“Against me? We’ll see about that.”Santos said confidently.“No matter what, being soldiers, we are one,” Noah said as his eyes scanned through everyone present. For no just cause, Santos Junek wants to get rid of me. From his action, you all can see that he is n
