Return Of The Warlord

A chill pervades the hallway of a hospital. It wasn't dark yet, but the damp, cold walls seemed to be doing their part in causing goose bumps to form on the skin of Alexis's hands. "Honey, how was your day? I'm sorry I haven't been able to--" "I'm still busy with my job applications. I have to send out a lot of resumes tomorrow. You can call me later, ok." "I'm in the hospital, my mom is--" Alexis' explanation to the woman on the other end of the line, who was none other than his girlfriend, was interrupted again. "I'll tell you later, I'm really...busy." "Honey, what's wrong with your voice? Where are you? In our apartment? Are you joking with your friend? Diana?" Alexis' barrage of questions went unanswered by Meliza, his girlfriend, who hung up the call even before his consent. Alexis' eyebrows knitted together in confusion. The sound of Meliza's laughter just now, was not the laughter of a joke with Diana, Liza's close friend. But it was a distr

Soon, a car arrived. Two tall and muscular men got out of the car. One of them invited Alexis into the car. "We are messengers of Supreme General. We will take you to the hospital. Please, get in the car." "I have no reason to trust either of you!" snapped Alexis. “But you must trust us.” “First, I don't know you. Second, you are dressed all in black and wearing black suits as well. The person who kidnapped me yesterday wore clothes like you're wearing now. Third, my destination is the hospital, not anywhere else!" "The offer doesn't come three times. I'll make sure once again, do you want to go to the hospital now or not at all?" "No!" Alexis immediately ran, but the mysterious man quickly caught up and struck the right side of Alexis's neck with the edge of his palm. The man who spoke earlier could only laugh, seeing his friend knock Alexis unconscious. Now Alexis has fallen on the ground, unconscious and not moving again. "It's better that he's

However, suddenly his cell phone rang. There's an incoming call. Without looking at the name on the screen, Alexis picked up the phone. “Don't forget your first task to validate the Golden Dragon card which you used to pay for your mother's hospital bills, Rebecca!" “I definitely did. I have found my hope in life again. My mother was finally cured. Never mind the card validation task, even if you give me an impossible task, I will complete it with all my might. In fact, you asked me to fall from the eighth floor of this hospital too, I would have done it because you saved my mother's life." "No need to be excessive, just carry out your first task and I will give you your second task later!" “Promise me, after I complete my three tasks, tell me who you really are and what your motive is for giving me three missions like this!” Alexis looked serious when saying this sentence. “As I said yesterday, that question will definitely be answered as time goe

"Alexis?" At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly sounded behind Alexis. Hearing this voice, Alexis's entire body froze. His hands trembled as the owner of that voice seeped into his brain. Alexis turned slowly, and indeed, it was his ex-girlfriend, Meliza. "Is that Meliza!? Damn, why is she here? How could she flaunt that coy act with a new man again right in front of me?" In contrast, Meliza shot Alexis a scornful look.Not far away, a brand-new luxury car was parked in a special lot. A man and a woman had just stepped out of the car. The woman looked stunning, with subtle makeup accentuating her natural beauty. She entered through the back door.Meanwhile, Meliza walked towards the entrance of Royal Bank while being all affectionate with the handsome man next to her. They seemed so intimate! Observing this, Alexis felt his emotions flare up again. Unbelievable! From their intimacy, who knows how long they've been involved behind his back.

Alexis couldn't believe it at first, but when he turned his head and saw the man Andre had pointed out smiling at him, Alexis was stunned.It was Lea who immediately waved and greeted him."Mr. Kingston."Kingston.The name spontaneously came to Alexis' mind, as she muttered a name."Alexis Phoenix Kingston."Alexis' head suddenly felt spinning, then heavy, as the memory he had always thought of as a nightmare was present, but the face of the man in his every fear was clearly the man not far from where he was sitting now.The veil was lifted, the accident of an attempted murder from the nightmare that had haunted his was a reality.The fear Alexis felt was now realized as the fear of losing the man wearing sunglasses, who was his biological father.Alexis only moved to the table where James Kingston was, after Lea and Andre had preceded him."Daddy," Alexis called awkwardly. The memory started to come, as James stepped closer and hugged him."Zero. You're my savior." James couldn't ex
