"General Mars, your position has been revoked!” the president boldly declares.

This causes all the soldiers to turn white with shock and look around at each other. Has the president of the country gone mad? How does he want to sack the most feared general in the entire military?!

General Mars is seated very calmly, he has not lost the smile on his face when the president has his shocking declaration.

“Oh, Mr. President. After I have single handedly ended this war, that's when you want to revoke my position? Do you even have a reason for that?” General Mars chuckles.

“Yes, General Mars, you are after all a corrupted fellow!” The president drops a heavy file on the table. “You have been accused of bribery, corruption in the military, organizing private guarding services, and betrayal of your country!”

Everyone looks around with their jaws on the ground. How dare anyone accuse the General of corruption?!

“I have shown you mercy by not throwing you into prison for your wrongs! You should bow down to me now and beg to be spared!”

General Mars knows that all of these are just lies being leveled against him, so he laughs and stands up to his feet.

He looks at the president, a smile on his face.

“So, what evidence do you have against me, Mister president?” General Mars asks.

“I am the president, Mars. That's enough evidence for you!”

Alice Yashin hits her fist angrily on the table and starts to her feet. “How dare this man accuse the General of being corrupted?! Wasn't you who came to beg the General two years ago with tears in your eyes to help get your daughter released from the kidnappers?! How dare you disrespect the General after he has been your savior in the past?! Are you trying to take away his honors?! Have you no shame?!”

Alice Yashin is General Mars' subordinate. She was a timid and fragile girl that was forced to enlist into the army because of her family's poverty, but Mars took her under his wings and she is now the best female assassin in the whole country.

She is the only one who is bold enough to stand and defend her boss against the president, but that just makes the president even angrier.

“Who have given this little mouse the audacity to speak to the president in such a disrespectful manner?!” The president blasts. “I will have you punished for this! All of your family members too!”

General Mars doesn't want anyone hurt on his account, so he raises his hand– a sign for Alice to keep calm.

The president won't sign the papers to officially end the war, if General Mars doesn't agree to his terms.

General Mars is a righteous man, but he loves the citizens of this country and wants the war to end already.

“What are you saying, Mister president?” He asks. “Tell me, I know that you want something. You will not sign the papers if I refuse you.”

The president laughs. “You are a very smart man, General Mars. I like that.” He nods. “I will forgive all the evil that you have done, all the corruption and disgrace that you have brought to this country, and I will also forgive your disrespectful subordinate… if only you drink what's in this bottle…”

The president is holding a very small bottle, the contents of the bottle is nothing but a clear liquid. It looks harmless, like water, but why is the president asking General Mars to drink this?

“What's this thing you are asking my boss to drink?” Alice asks with distrust.

“It's just medicine. It won't hurt him,” the president chuckles. “If General Mars agrees to take it, I will sign the papers to end the war immediately, and i will also allow General Mars to leave with his life.”

General Mars knows that the president is not being honest with him, but Mars laughs and takes the bottle from the president immediately.

Alice screams for him to stop, she doesn't trust the president, but General Mars pays no attention to her and drinks everything in the bottle.

The president starts to laugh hysterically as soon as General Mars drinks it.

General Mars looks down his hands and it dawns on him with great sadness that… he has suddenly gone blind!

The president has blinded him with the poison in the bottle! Now the greatest god of war is nothing but a blind man!

Alice screams with anger because her boss has been deceived. She can pull out her gun and destroy all these people right now, but she is completely surrounded.

About fifty soldiers are pointing their guns at her. She can't do nothing to avenge her boss' integrity right now! The military is even on the side of the corrupted president!

“Shame on you! Shame on all of you!” She yells at them. “You have destroyed the greatest General and reduced him to a blind man!”

General Mars, on the other hand, is calm, even though he has just lost his sight and been disgraced in front of all his subordinates, but even with all that, the corrupted president won't dare to kill him here.

He touches around Alice and calmly whispers to her. “This is not the end. Meet me in Silverview city, in three days.”

    Stacy did not expect for him to say yes, and so easily, she couldn't believe her ears. “Are you sure, Gray?” She chuckles nervously. “It's five million dollars, that's a lot of money.” “A whole lot of money, but not for you.” He says. “Now, do you want it in cash or cheque? William can drive very quickly, he will go to the bank and get it for you–” Stacy throws herself against him sobbing as she hugs him very tightly. Where has he been all her life?

    Just before two hours is done, they are done with the meeting. Gray is more than pleased with himself, he will now head back home to his wife. He glances at his wrist watch as he gets into the car and they start to drive back to the airport. “That was very quick, sir.” William smiles. “I was very time conscious. I can't break my promise to Stacy.” “She texted me because she wanted to know if I have any food that I don't care for. It looks like she is making the biggest meal.” Gray smiles and shakes his head. “That's Stacy, she is always taking care of everyone.” They are driving past the protest and Gray looks at the people with concern.

    Even the Generals are dumbfounded. They are so used to the Mars doing everything for them, that they don't even know how to strategize anymore. “That's a very good plan, sir.” The Generals look at each other and nod. “Bunch of morons! I give you many bonuses and you can't even come up with a good plan?!” The president shouts at them. “Stressing the richest man in the world to come up with a strategy for us?!” “Sorry, your Excellency.” They all bow. He turns to Gray and forces himself to smile. “Don't be angry, Mister Lance, were you in any way, in the army before this?” He asks. Gray just smiles. “I’ve shot a hunting gun a few times, if that counts as anything.” The president laughs again. This time around, he gestures for the soldiers to guard them as he starts to walk with Gray. He is done with the Generals, he wants to have a secret meeting with Gray now as they walk out of the room, and around the house. William follows him too, walking ahead of the soldiers. He will ref

    They are all laughing now, Gray laughs with them so much that they think that they have finally turned the anonymous trillionaire into their friend. William is standing behind Gray, looking back and forth in an alert manner. He has never seen a room full of more scary men. These were the men that killed his father, together with this psychopath that is running this nation. “So, you took care of him, the man that is supposed to be the greatest General in the army?” Gray asks. “Yes!” The president brags. “I killed him with my own tactics, and he fell right into my trap because he is not as smart as he thinks he is!” The Generals nod in agreement. They were all jealous of the Mars and all his prowess, so they allowed the president to use them to kill him. “Well, sounds like he had to be taken care of so I am glad for that. Now, can we move to the next topic?” Gray smiles. “Yes, yes, yes…” the president nods. “We need those weapons immediately because as you can see, these little

He has never heard something more silly in his life! “Mister Lance, please don't think that the basement sanctuary is just a poorly dug hole in the ground, it's a very luxurious place.” The soldiers assure Gray. “I have only two hours to spend here and I am returning back to Silverview.” Gray glances at his wrist watch. “Take me to the president, right now.” They all get into the elevator and

    What?! Gray cannot be in the state capital of the country tonight! He promised his wife that he is going to return for lunch! How is he supposed to return for lunch if he has to go to the capital now? “Oh, I don't think that Mrs Lance would be happy if we went to the capital together.” William shakes his head. Alice frowns at him. She hasn't warmed up to William just yet, so she casts an unfriendly glare at him. “Who said anything about you going? You are still under probation, I don't appreciate you inserting yourself in the situation!” She snaps. William immediately looks down and apologizes. He knows that Alice doesn't like him, but he knows that he must have to win her over, if he will win her over. “I'm sorry Miss Alice, I didn't mean to jump the gun like that.” “Make the plane ready immediately.” Andrew says. “We will be using the private strip and since I can't have the entire security team with me, as that will bring up suspicion, William will go with me.” “Sir, he is

Gray is the only one who has given her life meaning, she can't afford to lose him. She wakes up early and decides to make some breakfast for Gray and William, but as she is in the kitchen making pancakes, she immediately is attracted by the television. “Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, the news reaching us from the military headquarters now is that the country of Deholt has attracted the northern part of the army.” Stacy's hand flies to her mouth in shock, she can't believe what's happening now! William and Gray descend the stairs, just waking up too. “Are you guys seeing the news?” Stacy asks with concern. “This is such a misfortune, we just won the last war and for the first time, Westland has had a little bit of pe

    Stacy is shaking because all eyes are on her. She doesn't want to get involved in this, because she knows how Wendy behaves, but the ladies start to gesture to her. “Miss, is it true that you know the anonymous trillionaire?” One asks. Stacy lost her tongue for a quick second, but so that she doesn't look stupid in front of these people, she immediately musters the courage to speak up. “Well, yes.” She nods. “My husband and I, we work directly for the anonymous trillionaire!” “So, you know him personally?” “We live in his house!” This amazes everyone in the crowd. “How does one get such a privilege?” “She is so pretty, that's why the anonymous trillionaire chose her and her Mister to live in his house!” Stacy keeps a smile on her face, but she is very nervous. The ladies come to her, trying their best to become friends with her. They snap pictures with her, tagging her on social media and letting everyone know that she is an acquaintance of the anonymous trillionaire! In le
