Hudson dropped his sword with a disappointed look on his face. ‘I know I did it, but for what cause? Killing someone? Morris might be a dangerous criminal, but do I get to make the call on whether he lives or not? I can’t say I am happy about killing him; if it wasn't to pass my mission, I wouldn’t have done it. Also, I never thought the system issued such missions’ Multiple thoughts ran through Hudson’s mind.Ajax saw how sad and tensed Hudson looked as he placed one hand on his shoulder. "What are you thinking about?" Ajax didn’t need to ask the question, as from the look on Hudson’s face, he could already tell that he was feeling bad about killing Morris."It’s just that I did…." Before Hudson could finish his speech, Ajax cut him off. "I know what you are going to say, but you don’t have to feel guilty; Morris deserved it, and it’s not like it was easy for us to kill him; it was a difficult process, but now that we have done it, you should be happy that you have passed your missi
"Hmmm," Ajax muttered as he placed one hand under his chin.‘What we are going to need to get out of this situation is going to be a lot; the king is very stubborn, and I think he is ready to do whatever it takes to get rid of me. So, pleading with him is not an option; we are going to need to do something bigger to get rid of this situation. I think what we need to do is get rid of him, but how are we going to do that? The king is a level 100 magician; it will be very tough to go against him, and to do that, we are going to need more magicians and manpower’ Hudson thought.Hudson was thinking about going against the king, as that is the only option that comes to mind, but with the power the king possesses and the number of guards he has, it would be almost impossible to go up against him. If they are willing to get that done, they are going to need a lot of people and manpower. But Hudson was not sure if he should tell Ajax about the plan he has on his mind; he is not sure if Ajax wo
Alexander gasped. "A teacher? What does he have with Hudson? And why would he risk his life for Hudson?" Alexander bombarded Athens with questions as he waited for an answer."We know nothing about that, but the dean mentioned that Ajax was the one that assisted Hudson in enrolling in the academy and that they are very close; aside from that, I don’t think they are related by blood," Athens answered, gazing at the king."Hmmm," Alexander mumbled as he placed one hand under his chin. ‘Since Ajax is the one that helped Hudson enroll in the magical academy, that must mean that they had a relationship prior to that assistance, and their bond must be stronger than what meets the eye. Because how does a high-grade magical teacher risk his life and freedom for a mere student? Something is going on with those two; they might be brothers for all we know. But regardless, I am going to make sure that I capture the two of them and have them face the punishment for their consequences, which is dea
***Meanwhile, in the modern world,Tricia was at home; she was sitting on one of the couches in the living room, watching television. Ever since she found out everything about Pete, she has not been able to go outside properly and carry out her regular tasks. Instead, she just has her workers watch over her restaurants."I need to hear what’s going on in the news," she mumbled as she picked up the television remote and switched it to a news channel."Today, popular businessman Pete Gilmore has been sentenced to seventy years in prison for multiple organized scams. Pete was also charged with two murders, and from the information that we have gathered, Pete will also go to stand trial in court in France after he is done serving his time here in America. Looks like this is the end of Pete Gilmore." A young lady who was in her early 20s stated this boldly.Tricia stood up right away with her eyes wide open. ‘Oh my gosh, he is going to die in prison’ She thought. On the one hand, she was
"Hudson and I are planning to gather an army to fight the king and kill him," Ajax said bluntly. Brabus gaped. "What the hell! Are you out of your mind?" Brabus screamed at the top of his lungs."Calm down," Ajax said, waving his hands at Brabus for him to lower his voice."I am calm, but what the hell are you talking about? Do you know how dangerous King Alexander is? Or did you forget?" Brabus asked, raising an eyebrow.Hudson felt that it was time for him to interfere in the conversation and add his own views. "Look, we know how powerful and dangerous the king is, but we have no choice but to go up against him; if we don’t fight back, he is going to kill me and Ajax. Fighting back and trying to kill him is the only option we have left. At least if we die, we will know that we died honorably in battle rather than having him kill us however he sees fit," Hudson narrated calmly."I see, you and Ajax share the same view as well as the same willpower," Brabus replied. He was surprised t
"Alright lads, make yourself at home; I will be going to the palace now," Brabus said as he moved closer to Ajax, shook his hand, and hugged him. "I am doing all this for old times’ sake; if everything works out fine, you owe me big time," Brabus whispered in Ajax's ear."Of course," Ajax replied as they broke the hug. After that, Brabus went out of the living room.Hudson and Ajax sat down on the couch next to each other. Hudson has a couple of things on his mind that he has been worrying about, but he couldn’t say any of them in front of Brabus."Now that he is gone, there are a few things I would like to talk to you about," Hudson said calmly.Ajax turned to face Hudson on the couch. "Go on,""Look, do you think we can trust him completely? Because, like you said, it has been up to twenty years since you last saw him. What makes you think he would help us just like he said? What if he is going to report us to King Alexander?" Hudson bombarded Ajax with questions."I understand your
"That’s right, they killed the two guards that were at the bridge and went into the city, and from everything that is going on, I am one hundred percent sure that they are the ones responsible for the missing of those guards," Alexander explained."Oh, my word, so what are we going to do now?" Athens asked with his eyebrows slightly raised."I don’t even know; that’s why I wanted to speak with you. If we send a letter to King Julius, he might not acknowledge it on time, and by then we might have lost both of them. It might be from changing their identity, how they look, and various other things. So, we don’t have the time to wait for the letter to be approved if we want to send a letter," Alexander explained."Hmmm," Athens muttered. He could understand that Alexander was in a dilemma about what to do. So he started thinking of ways they could send men into the city without getting any approval from King Julius. That’s when an idea hit him."Your majesty, I have an idea," Athens said
"Okay, please introduce yourselves to the king," Brabus added. Of course, Brabus told the king about them, but he knew it was a formality for them to introduce themselves.Hudson and Ajax introduced themselves to the king. "So, what brings two high-ranking magicians to my palace today? I hear you lads want to talk business," Julius said, stroking his beard."Yes, your highness," Ajax replied. Ajax was nervous to tell the king that he needed an army from him. He knew if he made the request, the king would look at him as crazy, but they are already here; there is no turning back at this point."You see, Hudson and I are planning a coup against King Alexander of Magnitoz City, and we need men for that," Ajax said calmly."What!" Julius screamed as his voice echoed throughout the room."Yes, my lord," Hudson added."What type of treachery is this?" Julius asked in a rumbling tone with his eyes wide open."My lord, before you say anything, let me explain the reason why we are planning a co
Ajax picked up the pen and dipped into the ink as he started composing the letter “Julius I caught a couple of your men in my territory they killed hundreds of my men and now they are all dead including the head Hercules. With all this information, I would like for you to pick inside one of the two options that I’m giving you. One is either you get ready for war in the next three days as me and my men will be invading your city, two is either you come to my palace tomorrow with 3,000,0000 gold coins and 500 of your men that are going to be working under my kingdom. There are no negotiations, if I don’t see you in my palace tomorrow, I’m going to assume that you picked war. Have a nice day,” Ajax ended the letter.After that, he sealed it up and gave it to the guard that was standing in front of him.“Your job is to deliver that letter to King Julius, after you give the letter to him, get out of there and head back straight away,” Ajax instructed. After that, he dismissed the guard.Hu
“Sounds perfect,” Ajax muttered.“Now I want you all to move back from the prisoners,” Ajax said in a rumbling tone as he stood up. Telling them to move back didn’t entail that they should leave the room. So, they understood his orders perfectly.Ajax came down from his throne and walked toward the men who were kneeling on the floor including Hercules.“Now, I can tell that you lots are not from this city, hence why none of you know magic and couldn’t even dress accordingly like a true Magnitoz citizen. That must mean that you all are from Human Valley, so, I would like for you all to help me understand who sent you here and why did you target my guards,” Ajax said in a rumbling tone as his voice echoed throughout the room.All the men were quiet, they were now four in number including Hercules. “Are none of you going to speak!” Ajax screamed with his eyebrows tightly pressed together. Hudson and the guards that were in the room were all quiet. They could sense how angry Ajax was.Aja
‘Oh my goodness, could it be Julius’s men behind these attacks? Does that mean that Julius is trying to start a war with me? I don’t think he would want to start a war though. I will have to give him the benefit of the doubt, if I catch one of those men tomorrow, I will interrogate him and get the information I want out of him. I will have to get to the bottom of all of this, Ajax thought.***Meanwhile, inside a large bush that was filled with a lot of men, they were the 50 trained men that Julius had deployed in Magnitoz city and their leader was a 35-year-old man named Hercules, he was about 7 feet tall and built with a lot of muscles. They had killed 23 of the men that Ajax sent to them and dumped their bodies in the river that was at the back of the bush. Hercules was told that two of the men escaped from them.“Listen up everyone!” Hercules screamed calling all their attention over to him.“Yes, commander!” They all answered in unison as they shifted their attention over to Herc
“You are right honey, this is what we are going to have to be doing now,” she replied with a smile. After that, Hudson told her goodbye as he ended the call. He sat down on the chair.***Later in the night,Hudson was lying on his bed; he was scrolling through his contact list as he saw Maddy’s contact and remembered that he hadn’t called her just like he promised her he would. Also, Hudson had an idea for a second date that he planned for when he got back from the magical world from his mission. He dialed her number and placed the phone on his ear. After a few rings, Maddy answered the call.“Hey Maddy, how are you doing?” He asked in a loving tone.“I’m doing fine and you?”“Fine, you know, I’m sorry I didn’t call you yesterday, I was occupied with a lot of things,” he said calmly.“Nah, don’t worry, it’s fine, I was also occupied with a lot of things,” she replied.“Cool, you know, I had a lot of fun time with you, and I have an idea for a second date, I don’t know if you would be
“I will do it, I will hang out with Maddy and go with the flow, I won’t think about secrets for now,” he said gazing into her eyes. Tricia let his head go as she stood up.“That’s good, just let everything flow for now,” she replied. She was happy that Hudson was going to lose up about the whole thing and let everything flow with Maddy.“I will be heading down to the dining table to set up dinner, I will call you when I’m done,” she said attempting to leave the room.“Okay Mom,” he muttered. After that, Tricia went out of the room.‘My mom must want me to get close to Maddy or even be dating her or she just wants to see me dating a woman or be happy, I don’t know which might be the case, but I am happy to oblige, I truly do like Maddy. I don’t know why I have never tried going on a date before, but I felt alive talking to Maddy today, and talking to a woman other than my mom is not that bad. I did feel a lot of sexual tension with her, even if I am still a virgin’ Hudson thought.As h
"Yes, I have been in love three times before and in three relationships overall. My last relationship ended five months ago; he was very toxic and abusive. It took a lot for me to get out of the relationship because I loved him a lot, but after I gathered the courage to leave him, since then I haven’t been able to get back into the dating pool as I had poured all my efforts and myself into my work. But I will say this: I am attracted to and interested in getting to know you," she stated calmly, staring into Hudson’s eyes.Hudson smiled upon hearing the last words she said. ‘I wish it were that easy for me to let her into my life; I wish it were that easy, but I am not sure she would be able to handle the truths that come with being in my life, and I am sure if she got to know the type of person I am, she wouldn’t want to stay or even believe what I actually do for a living’ Hudson thought."I am equally attracted to you and interested," he replied. ‘It’s not bad after all; I am glad m
***Hudson arrived in front of a fancy restaurant that had bright fancy lights all over the place. As he entered the restaurant, the sound of classic music hit him, and that was when he realized that the restaurant was not a regular restaurant. Hudson looked around and saw multiple people occupying the tables in the restaurant. He looked around to see if he could spot the description of the lady that his mom gave him and a lady that was sitting alone. Hudson spotted a table where a blonde woman was sitting alone, and from the way she was sitting, he could tell that she was short. "That’s definitely her," he mumbled as he ambled over to the table."Good afternoon, are you Maddy?" He asked with a smile. She raised her head to look at him as she realized that it was Hudson; she had seen photos of him that Tricia had sent to her prior to the date."Yes, I am. Have a seat. It’s nice to finally meet you, Hudson," Maddy said with a bright smile. She was wearing a red dress with bright crysta
"For this particular job, I will get it done for 20,000 dollars," Joshua responded."Sounds good. When do you think you are going to get it done?" Hudson inquired. Joshua assured him that he was going to get it done within three days. After that Hudson escorted him out of the house as Joshua carried the bags of gold coins with him."I look forward to doing a lifetime of business with you," Hudson said in a rumbling tone. As Joshua was heading towards the gate."Me too, sir!" Joshua replied.***Later in the afternoon, Hudson was getting ready in front of the large mirror that was inside his closet. He wanted to head over to the mall and get the items for his shop in the magic world."Hudson, where are you?" Tricia called out to him. Hudson was shocked to hear his mom’s voice; he didn’t think that she would be home at this time of the day."I’m in here, mom!" Hudson answered as he swiftly closed the button of the blue shirt that he was wearing.As he was about to come out of the closet
"Yeah, you are right; do you know any goldsmith?" Hudson asked, hoping that she would know a goldsmith.Tricia told him that she doesn’t know any, but that Hudson could look for one himself and that Goldsmith is everywhere online. After that, they both agreed that Hudson would look for a goldsmith himself, negotiate everything with the person, and then keep in touch with the goldsmith."It is settled then; you are going to work on getting a goldsmith," Tricia said, staring at Hudson. She noticed a sad look on Hudson’s face. ‘I don’t think Hudson is himself at all; he looks down. I think I should do something nice for him, something that would lift his spirit’ she thought."Yeah, I will start doing the research tonight," he replied. Tricia stood up from the couch."I should get going back to the restaurant; I need to get a few things done. We will catch up in the night when I’m back," she said with a smirk. Hudson stood up as he hugged her, and after that, Tricia went out of the house.
