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
"So, what do you say? Is my offer generous enough?" He asked raising an eyebrow."Yes, your highness," Ajax responded."Give me a moment; let me talk this out with Hudson," Ajax said as he did a half bow and turned to look at Hudson."What do you think about his offer? Do you have up to 300,000 gold coins in the system’s vault as we speak? Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we need this offer," Ajax said in a low tone, staring at Hudson."Yes, I do have that amount in the system’s vault, but don’t you think the amount of gold coins he is calling outrageous? This amount is almost all the money I have left in the system’s vault," Hudson replied softly.The king could barely hear what they were talking about, but he hoped that they would accept his offer. Brabus, on the other hand, was just standing behind them and watching as they discussed amongst themselves."Hudson, that doesn’t matter at the moment; what is the use of the coins if you won’t be able to spend them when
They arrived in front of the courtyard, where they saw the hundred men all gathered and chatting amongst themselves. As they saw that the king was in front of them, they all went quiet. "Listen up!" Julius screamed."I have summoned you all here today for a very important and dangerous mission. You all are some of my most skilled men, and I want you all to give your best to this mission and make the most of it. I want you all to be prepared to give your lives for this cause, as it is a very delicate matter," Julius stated in a rumbling tone as his voice echoed throughout the courtyard."We are ready!" A couple of the men screamed in unison as they went down on one knee and did a half bow for the king.Rise, my soldiers!" Julius yelled. "Now, I will have the man that is going to be controlling this whole operation come and address you all," Julius said as he turned to look at Ajax and waved at him to come forward.As Ajax looked at all of them, he started to become nervous; he didn’t k
