With Gray's connection, he, Landon and Williams were able to leave the country without detection. Gray has put on his secret identity of the Mars, which everyone assumes to be dead. Landon is very excited to have you on Mars with him right now. He told his people, the soldiers of Deholt, that he was going to bring help to them. If the Mars trains the soldiers, it would be impossible for the Westland enemies to even win this war. Landon quickly made a call for them to prepare VIP accommodations for the Mars, and William. It's a long journey and takes about 5 hours until the plane touches down in the military airstrip. Thousands of soldiers have been willingly waiting for him under the sun and as soon as the door opens, they shout and cheer as soon as they see him. “Westland lies! The sword of justice, the Mars is here!” They roar, jump and clap their hands. They heard months ago that the Mars was missing, presumed dead, and that's the biggest tragedy for them this year. Even

General Landon Hayes doesn't know how to thank Gray for doing him a favour and agreeing to come here. “Honestly, Mars, I don't know what I would have done without you. If we had gone to war without your strong training, we would have fatally lost everything.” He shakes his head “Come on, General Hayes, you are not going to give me all the credit. These people were already well trained by you, I just did a little polishing.” “Nonsense.” General Landon Hayes snorts. “Thank you, man. This is a debt that I would never be able to pay.” Gray inhales and slips his hands into his pockets. “Who knows? One day, I might need a humongous favour from you. We can't tell.” “And I will do all I can to repay you when that day comes.” The two men shake hands. The rest of the Generals are waiting and they all shake hands with Gray respectfully, even those they are old enough to be his fathers. When they are done, William takes a few steps back as the camera approaches the Generals. Gray is still

Mrs Lance doesn't tell anyone, but she stands up very early the next morning and writes a heartfelt letter addressed to the anonymous trillionaire. After she is done with the letter, she puts it in an envelope and seals it. The sun rises quickly, and soon, Stacy comes to the door and knocks on it before opening it. “Good morning, mum!” Stacy beams with happiness. Her and Gray's mother are now so close that she now addresses her like her mother. This pleases Stacy so much because she was very close to her mother before she died, so this is like God has given her a second chance. “Good morning, my lovely daughter.” Mrs Lance says. She has Stacy before she looks at her tummy and gently kisses it. This has been their secret ritual every morning, since they haven't told Gray about the pregnancy yet. “How is my little grandson doing?” Mrs Lance whispers. “Fine.” Stacy grins. “We want to know what Grandma would like to eat for breakfast?” Mrs Lance sighs as she stands straight up. “D

How am I supposed to believe it?” “You don't have to, mum.” Gray says. “Just know that you don't have to worry about me having a better job, because everyone in this building is on my payroll.” Her smile disappears and her heart jumps immediately. What if he is not lying?She gets closer to him, staring into his eyes, but she doesn't see an iota of lie in them. “Oh my God!” She holds her hands over her mouth. “Please, Gray, tell you that you are joking.” Gray sighs and rubs his fingers over his forehead. “It's hard to believe, I know, but if you remember how I worked hard, how I studied for multiple degrees at the same time, if you remember how much sleepless nights I have put into this, then you will know that it's not just any

Is Stacy and the baby fine?” “Yeah, they are both sleeping. I just need you to send some files to me.” He says to her.

She is being very generous, but he won't allow that. They have worked so hard for months to see that his mission is fulfilled, and now he is going to handle this one by himself. “Don't worry about it, Alice, I just need you to do one single thing for me.

She opens her mouth with a small gap, but no words can come out. Everyone is kindly smiling at her, the way people would look at their savior…She sighs and presses her hand against her forehead. “But, I can't deliver the speech? I'm not the Mars' wife, that's not even possible.” William smiles at her. “Oh, Stacy. You have no idea how possible anything can be.” That's when it strikes her with a heavy beating of her chest.

Stacy is very surprised to see her Aunt, but she is even more surprised to see her Auntie kneeling in front of her and begging for mercy. “Please, I was blinded by the devil!” She cries. “I didn't know that you were going to turn out so great. Remember that I gave you a roof over your head and fed you for years. Please have pity on your old and wrinkled auntie. The truth is that Wendy and Mateo told their family that Gray and Stacy are not ordinary people, but the richest and most powerful couple in the country. Mr and Mrs de Nicola believe it very easily because they got their house back. They were happy and satisfied, even though they didn't get everything they had before, and they made sure to stop by the Gray corporation headquarters to thank him.

Please, spare me that nonsense!” Wendy continued to try to get her mother to change her mind, but her moth

President Brody is dead and now, the Mars is going to take over as the president of the country by virtue of being the most competent General. No one is even opposed to this, and everyone is very happy. General Micheal retires happily, after everything, he is sure that he will now live a happy and peaceful life. Everyone is preparing for July fifth, for it's going to be the day that the Mars, who everyone now knows is General Gray Lance, will be sworn in.

No one, except Brody, knows that this man is the anonymous trillionaire, but as soon as they see the fear in Brody's eyes, they immediately know. Brody fired up to three shots and none of them hit this man. He drops his gun in fright and starts to back into the wall. “You are not human!” He shivers. “You are not human, you fucking bastard!” He tries to find something to shield himself because from the look in Gray's eyes, he knows that he is about to be killed. He throws a chair in Gray's direction, but when he sees that doesn't work, he grabs the almost frightened newscaster lady and uses her as a human shield. She shrieks and he immediately slaps his hand over her mouth. “Shut up! If you come any closer to me, I am going to shoot her, you hear me!” Everyone is shaken, they don't want to lose another of their colleagues. They expect that the Mars would throw away his gun and negotiate with the crazy man, but that's not what happens. Gray casually checks his gun to see if it's

Once Brody had said the single line that he had rehearsed, he expected for the professionals to take over. Yes, even though he has just barged into the place, shot a bunch of people, and traumatized the hell out of them, he expects for them to still be very professional and come up with the best questions. He sighs with anger when he sees that the newscasters are just holding on to each other like scared chickens, and trying their hardest not to make eye contact with him. “Now, listen to me, you two fools,” he picks up the gun again. “I didn't go through all that trouble for you two to be fucking dumb, so you better get your shit together, or I am going to blow your fucking brains all over the place.” The lady shuts her eyes as more tears pours out. She is sobbing, she has to press her hands over her mouth to keep the sound out. The man has to summon courage, else they are going to be dead, so he whispers to his colleague and pushes her to the side. He takes out his handkerchief

Brody feels like he has been caught up in a crossroad, the only man that would have been able to help him turns out to be the enemy himself. He watched the official announcement, now the whole world knows the truth about what has happened. He doesn't have anywhere else to go, he doesn't have anything to use to save himself. He still has a few tens of supporters, they are afraid to come out and say so because they fear Mars and also the judgement from their friends and families. Some of them have cut off contact with him, and this breaks his heart even more. He can't flee the country too, because he knows that he is going to be caught at the airport, or as soon as he approaches any border.Brody knows that surrendering won't work, not after the many things that he and his family did. So, what will he do now? He decides to go on live TV and say his mind. Brody is surely a master manipulator and he knows that if he plays his cards right, he will gather the gullible lots among the W
