Maximus sprinted towards the path leading to the gateway. There was no way he would let the Vengeance god lay waste to the good people of Triton City.'I have to return as fast as I can!'As Maximus got close to his destination, he sensed powerful auras around the place.'I should have known they would leave a few persons to guard the place, wouldn't want the people of Vantrea fleeing out of the town.' Maximus thought to himself as he stealthily walked towards the source of the aura.“You don't have to hide. I spotted you a long time ago.” a teenage voice said from behind Maximus. Immediately Maximus took a defensive stance before leaving his hiding spot. He walked forward with his two daggers in hand, ready for any surprises, which there wasn't.Maximus finally came face to face with the sources of the powerful auras he had felt a while ago. They belonged to seven persons in total, and one of them was a female. While five were standing in front of him, two were behind him. The moment
While we leave Bryan to sort out a way to defeat Maximus and make the Alorea Nation a peaceful Nation, let's take a good look into the origin of this big Boss who's not only a menance to the Alorea Nation, but also the entire world.*[April 2022]I walked into the half-dark neon light room. There was a long table with three seats on each side. The room was so dark that I couldn't even see myself, let alone the other occupants. I took the only seat available and sat down.I knew why I was here, but they felt I was simply too immature and weak for this mission. I'm the leader of a small mercenary group. Although our number is something is to laugh at, but everyone of us is an elite amongst elites. We have taken way more dangerous mission than any mercenary group in the country.Flanked on my sides were high ranking men and women dressed in dark suits. I had been called to handle a few problem for them.“The Caspian militia are planning to send in reinforcements, we need you to infiltra
“TEN HUT!” The deep husky voice boomed around the field. The field could be said to be a perfect artistic masterpiece if it wasn't situated inside a military camp.Rows of military men stood erect next to each other as they awaited the orders of their superior. Soon a muscular man donned in exquisite military uniform with three stars stripes on his shoulder walked out.“Shit! It's Major Cutthroat!”“Are we being assigned to Major Cutthroat!?”“Our days in the military is over! Mama I'm dying soon!”Murmurs arose amongst the ranks of the soldiers. Major Cutthroat was known for his brutality in the army and he personally disposed of any soldier who disobeys his order during any operation; No Court-martial, just a bullet in the head, or a slit across your throat.“Hush! Or I will be sending you girls to meet your creator!” His voice boomed again. This time there was absolute silence.“You girls are being assigned to me! And believe me when I say that I do not.. condone any weakling in my
Click!Bryan walked into the Major General's office and saluted.“Sir! You sent for me Sir!”Major General Bourne seemed to be in his late-forties, with a bald hair and a Caesar's moustache. The man gestured to the chair in front of him for Bryan to sit.“I was told by Command Sergeant Major Cutthroat of your achievement. I must say I am impressed.” the man spoke with a smile on his face. His voice was a bit identical to that of Command Sergeant Major Cutthroat, except for the ferocity part.“Thank you Sir, I was merely doing my duty.” Bryan replied with a humble expression on his face.“Oh no son, what you did is what no one else was willing to do. You chose to face more than two hundred Taliban soldiers alone, just so you could make sure your teammates survived. Now that's commendable, but what got my attention is this report here made by your commanding officer.” he said while tapping on the file on his desk.“You took out a kill count of more than a hundred Taliban soldiers alone.
The soldiers formed a wide circle so as to create a stage of some sort. Bryan walked to the middle of the makeshift stage and waited for his opponent while he scanned the faces of the Delta Squad.“Private Grayson! You have been selected by your superior to duel the members of the Delta Squad! Failure to win in the duel will earn you a court-martial for insubordination! If you are not confident in fighting, I suggest you get your sorry ass out from there now! Do you wish to proceed!?” Lieutenant Colonel Durke said with contempt and authority. In his mind, he could already see Bryan cowering away from the fighting stage. Unfortunately Bryan was not only confident he will win, but also he didn't just plan on fighting one at a time.Bryan glance at Lieutenant Colonel Durke and smiled“Affirmative!” Bryan said, then he turned to Major Cutthroat and saluted.“Private Grayson reporting for duty! Sir! I pledge to uphold not only the honor of the United States of America, but also crush the e
Bryan came over to Major Cutthroat's office. The Major General had received an order from the Secretary of Defense to send someone capable to guard his daughter while he goes on a campaign trip with the US president. He instantly thought of the new rising star; Private Grayson. After briefing Major Cutthroat of this vital matter, it was now up to Major Cutthroat to brief Bryan of the upcoming mission and how important it was.“Sir! You sent for me Sir!” Bryan saluted as soon as he stepped into the office.“Have a seat Private.” Major Cutthroat said in a gentle tone.“Thank you Sir.” Bryan responded in a respectful way and sat down.“Private Grayson. I will get straight to the point. We have just received a mission from the Secretary of Defense himself! He requested that we send someone to guard his daughter; Maryanne. Are you up for the job!?”“Affirmative! Sir!”When Bryan heard the word 'Mission' from his commanding officer, he started to shift gears into his mission mode.“Good! P
The girl stood up and glared at Bryan. She was a beautiful girl with long black hair that was tied into two messy low pigtails. She had a fringe just above her blue eyes, her body was fair and slim. She seemed to be exuding an almost haughty aura.“Hey! Why the hell did you throw me!?” the girl asked Bryan in an irritated tone.Bryan who had once stood on the battlefield and defeated level 3 metahumans, fought six strong soldiers without a tinge of worry on his face, was now very much worried. He didn't know what to say in a situation such as this, he didn't even know how to have a dialogue with people as he's always been excommunicated from almost everyone who came across him. Now he has to talk this girl whom he already wronged? Besides, this was not just an ordinary girl, she's the only daughter of the Secretary of Defense! This is a great headache.'I can't believe I'm going to fail my very first covert mission. I have to do something.'“Sorry Ma'am, for throwing you. It was an ac
At the police station inside an interrogation room, Bryan was sitting in front of a grumpy police officer.“Why don't you just admit that you were stalking that poor girl?”With an emotionless face, and an indifferent tone, Bryan responded.“Like I keep on saying, I wasn't following her, it just so happens she was going the same way as me.”“Really? I know you're in the height of your youth, and falling in love is something you'll be experiencing right now, but stalking is no good.” The other police officer responded, the two police officers seemed to be playing the most common role scene of good cop and bad cop.Bryan could only sigh and continue to persuade the officer that he wasn't stalking Maryanne.“Like I said I wasn't stalking her, also what are you talking about falling in love? I just met the girl today when I was transferred.”The bad cop slammed the table and shouted“You are simply wasting everyone's precious time! Why don't you just admit you were stalking her!”The good
