Return of the war god Chapter 115
Arthur remained by Luna as the maids placed his luggage in the black car that was to take him to the Lefevre house. Then from there under the guise of Henri's bodyguard, he would be taken to the cruise ship where if things went as planned, he would meet the Hand of the Hughes family called the Merchant. He could sense her unease, her fear of being separated from him after being reunited for only a short while. Arthur's heart swelled with empathy; he knew exactly how she felt. He had promised her and himself that he wouldn't cause her anymore pain and yet again he found himself breaking that promise. It seemed that all his planning and their outing was not as effective as he had originally hoped it to be. "Luna, my dear cousin," he said, his deep voice soothing, "I'll be fine. I promise. This trip is just a quick one as I told you before, a meeting with a contact of Henri Lefevre to discuss potential business ventures. I'll be back before you know it." Luna's eyes narrowed, her

“Are we heading to Henri Lefevre's villa first, sir?” Leon asked, glancing at the reflection of the stoic Arthur on the rear view mirror.Resting his chin on his hand as he stared out the window, Arthur replied. “No, we'll go over to Charles' headquarters first to see if he has any new information and then we'll be on our way to Henri's place.”“Understood sir.” Leon stated curtly, returning his attention to the wheel.Prior to his departure, Arthur had made a request to Charles concerning gathering sufficient information on the venue where he would soon clash with the Merchant, one of the Hands of the Hughes family and for the first time ever, he was unable to properly fulfill his request.It would be safe to say without a doubt that Charles was the best information broker in the entire region and finding those close to his level of skill or connection was such a rare thing that one could count the number of them on a single finger.So making the statement that if Charles was unable

Assuming a more confident posture with a smile that reflected how proud of himself he was, Charles replied heartily. “Of course, sir. You don't need to worry because everything you need is right here.”Upon ending his statement, he handed a yellow folder to Arthur who did nothing to hide his expression that reflected what a pleasant surprise Charles' act was.“It was quite difficult, sir. For a long time, even I was unable to get anything on the ship or even the event. That's how secretive it was, sir! It was only about a day or two days ago that I was able to get my hands on this.”Charles exhaled audibly and tiredly, watching Arthur shift his gaze from him to the folder before him.He opened it to see several blueprints of what he recognized as the cruise ship alongside several notes and markings that surrounded it. Raising the blueprints, he peeked below at a few other observations of all sorts made in the form of notes.Placing the mappings of the cruise ship on Charles' desk that

Charles nodded in response, Arthur's confidence having an obvious effect on him. This was due to the fact that it was not mere boasting, Arthur Rhyfel was the reaper, the Unbreakable Citadel and the war god. He had crushed enemies thought to be undefeatable beneath the heels of his boots, the enemy who could defeat him was yet to exist.He stood, his mind already finalizing his strategies and contingency plans. "Thanks for the information, Charles. You've been a great help, as always."Charles nodded, his eyes reflecting his satisfaction at Arthur's words. "I'm glad to be of help, sir. I wish you the best of luck and also…give em hell."Arthur's smile grew slightly, his eyes glinting with anticipation. "Don't worry, Charles. They will not get any mercy from me.”Leon glanced up at the sound of the warehouse's metal doors opening, stepping away from the car at the sight of Arthur who shielded his eyes with his hand from the sun and approached him.“Were you able to get what you needed,

Arthur pulled out the life-like skin mask, inspecting the detail that it had for a moment before turning to Leon who had asked.“I truly hope it meets your expectations, sir?” He glanced at the rearview mirror once again in an attempt to gauge the reaction of his superior to the piece of art before him.Amelia Elizabeth in an act of showing her support to his endeavors to bring about the downfall of the ones responsible for the fall of the Rhyfel family, had personally arranged for a skin mask, the final piece of Arthur's disguise, to be created.Her aim while creating it was to make a face that while it looked like Arthur, it was clear that it was a completely different person. She did this so that it would not only fit his face perfectly, it would also serve as something of a deterrent for anyone, mostly in the hostile camp, that took notice of him.Internally grateful for her actions, Arthur replied with a small smile. “Yes, it does.”Glancing up from the skin mask in his gloved ha

Henri turned quickly at the sound of his only daughter's voice, putting on a fake reassuring smile as he rushed to her.“What's going on my dear?” He asked, placing his hands on her shoulders reassuringly.She simply shook her head, remaining silent as she eyed the man who stood behind her father cautiously.He was tall and fit, and reminded her a lot of the physical appearance of the vague images of the man her friend would often call her prince charming, the one responsible for saving her from her grim fate.Averting her gaze with reddened cheeks, Anais mentally scolded herself for gaining interest in yet another man. First, it was the one who cured her from the nearly fatal poison, then it was the man who rescued her from the men who would've done unspeakable things to her friend and her, and now it was the tall brown haired man before her.She couldn't understand why she had felt the exact same way for the three men, but what had no clue about was that who she had seen as three d

Dean couldn't believe his ears. Why in the world would his employer bring some random nobody and place in charge of the security on his impromptu trip?It didn't make sense no matter how he looked at it, and he couldn't accept it. After some pondering, he decided to voice his dissatisfaction.“Sir, this does not make any sense. Why would you have me remain here while you're taking this no named newbie along with you? You've never done this before!”Sighing loudly, Henri knew it would come to this. So out of respect for the man who had stood by his side guarding and protecting him for all these years, he explained.“The occasion I plan to attend is a hush one for the upper brass of society and I am only entitled to one bodyguard. Also, you're the only person I can trust to stay and secure my home in my absence.”Dean stepped forward, his tone reflecting more of the annoyance he felt as he spoke. “But sir! That's even more reason to have me at your side. I have far more experience atten

The two men stood face to face in the training area within the Lefevre mansion, a special room Henri had created for his occasional exercise as well as his security team's routine training.Word of their bet had spread around the entire mansion and with their employer, Henri's permission, most of the house's staff gathered to see the outcome of the bout.The children of the head of the Lefevre house were no exceptions as their curiosity got the better of them upon learning about the situation.While Anais was truly eager to see the outcome of the situation while secretly rooting for Arthur, Henri's son on the other hand had just returned home from a meeting and was somewhat coerced by his younger sister to accompany her on her way to watch the major source of entertainment at the moment.Whispers flew about as the crowd remained focused on the head of the entire Lefevre security and the unknown man who stood before him.Different conversations and thoughts rose because of the entire s

Leonard Hughes sat behind his large desk in his study, a chilled glass of whiskey in his frail hands.If he had been told this would be how the great Hughes family that had survived and prevailed for centuries would fall, he would not believe.But that was the cold harsh reality.It was ironic and somewhat of a sick joke that it all ended on the same day that it started.Like someone had chosen it particularly because of its significance. Perhaps they had.On that very day fifteen years ago, The Hughes family, Burton family and Williams family, three of the seven great had joined hands together to bring the downfall of the Rhyfel family.Their actions against them had long begun, but that day marked the finale, the end of it all.They had pooled their resources together and attacked the Rhyfel family estate with the intention to spare not a single soul.And surely they would have succeeded at that, if not for the bravery of the young flower of the Rhyfel family, Luna Rhyfel.Pushing a

His eyes widened as he took in the information: financial records, names, operations, evidence that implicated the Hughes family in countless crimes. It was the breakthrough he had been waiting for, but even more comprehensive than he had hoped."This is… beyond what I expected," he murmured, still processing the weight of what he held. Then, snapping into action, he pressed a button on his desk intercom. "Bring in Agent Marlowe and Special Operative Ryder."Within moments, the door opened, and two figures entered. Agent Marlowe, a sharp-eyed woman with an air of calm authority, and Special Operative Ryder, a tall, muscular man with a cold, calculating demeanor. They had been sent from the capital, handpicked by the emperor to assist in cleaning up the city, a task that had proven more daunting than either had anticipated."Commissioner," Marlowe greeted, nodding as her eyes flicked over to Isabella, recognizing the family resemblance.The commissioner wasted no time. "We’ve just rec

His voice, though weakened, was laced with bitterness. “Saul... if only you had been more competent. We wouldn’t be facing this now.”With a final, pained sigh, Leonard collected himself, his expression hardening into a grim resolve. “Summon all the Hands back to the estate immediately. We cannot let Rhyfel breach our defenses.”Ian nodded sharply, understanding the gravity of the command. “Yes, Father. I’ll see to it.”As Ian departed to carry out his father’s orders, Leonard muttered under his breath, his words dripping with venom. “Uther Rhyfel… you’ve always been a thorn in my side. Even from beyond the grave, your son continues to cause me trouble.”Meanwhile, Arthur Rhyfel was making his way through the bustling city streets with a purposeful stride. The same city that had seen his return for the first time was once again unaware of the storm that was brewing beneath.He approached a sleek black vehicle, where Elias, his driver, waited at the wheel. Arthur’s destination was Is

As he rounded a corner, he saw her, Luna, his older cousin, the only living family he had left and his only true reason for engaging in such a war. Yes, he wished to avenge his deceased family, yet if she had not saved him on that day, fifteen years ago, he would not have been alive to do so.She was his sole purpose for being alive and the one dearest to him. The one he had to protect at all costs.Many would claim that the war god had no weaknesses, and that was in fact true. Luna Rhyfel was not his weakness but his strength and while she might be the weaker of the two, should anything befall her it will not break the war god, no.It would simply unleash the demise of the ones foolish enough to commit such an act.The earth itself would not hide them from his fury if they were to do something as hopelessly stupid as even attempting to bring about the demise of the flower of the Rhyfel family.She was standing by the large windows that overlooked the estate’s gardens, her gaze dist

But what he did not expect was that his former mission would be erased and replaced with a new one. This had never happened since he had first got the system and the message alongside it hinted that he was in the endgame now.[New Mission: Destroy the final family involved in the downfall of the User's family, the Hughes family.][Rewards: The avenger, Acquisitions of the Hughes family possessions and the revelation of the origin of the {System}.]He leaned back in his seat, holding his chin in thought. There was no time to waste and failure was not an option.It never was.A rapid knock alerted him as the door opened and the three he had called in, walked inside, prepared for their new tasks.“Take a seat, all three of you.” He ordered, his tone cold and reserved.The three picked up on it, doing as they were told immediately. While one would have assumed that Leon would be the first to pick up on the graveness of the situation from his tone, it was actually Briar.Due to her previou

Ian took a deep breath, knowing the next part would be the hardest to convey. “To gain more information about him, we need to surrender information on the Hands of the Hughes family.”Leonard’s eyes sharpened, a dangerous glint appearing in his gaze. The Hands of the Hughes family were their most protected assets, their identities known only to the inner circle. To give up that information was to expose the family’s very core, to lay bare their most guarded secrets.He leaned back, closing his eyes for a moment as he considered the implications. Ian waited, his breath almost held as he watched his father’s face for any sign of what he might decide.Outside the warehouse that served as Charles’ base, Laura sat in the backseat of the car, her fingers tapping against the leather seat in a rare display of impatience. The weight of the conversation with Ian earlier still hung over her, the gravity of what was at stake gnawing at her composure. She glanced at the warehouse, its weathered

So while she was not one to so readily show emotions outwardly unless she deemed it necessary. Her experience growing up as the daughter of the patriarch in the Hughes family had made her this way.It was necessary for her survival, so her visible nervousness had hinted to her bodyguard and driver who watched her from the side, on how drastic the situation was.Her mind drifted to the response of her father should the news be delivered. She wondered if he would side with her uncle, his brother who had blamed the fall of two of the Hands on her “bad management.”As if that wasn't enough, more stray thoughts seemed to emerge, only further worsening her nervous state.What would the patriarch say? How would he react to the news of the war god’s return? And more importantly, what would he decide about the information Charles held?Taking a deep breath, Laura pushed those thoughts aside and steeled herself. She had a role to play, and she would do it to the best of her ability. The Hughes

Laura stepped out of the study, her heels once again clicking against the marble floor as she moved briskly through the corridor. The conversation with Ian and their uncle still echoed in her mind, but she couldn’t afford to dwell on it now. There were more pressing matters to attend to.As she stood by the car that had brought her, she began to consider her next course of action. While she was granted authority over the Hands of the Hughes family due to her father, the patriarch's current state as well as her older brother, the heir apparent’s view on handling things, her authority was limited.Something as drastic as handing over information on the group whose identities were the most secured amongst all of the seven great families was not something she had the clearance to do, so in that case, she needed to seek who could.This was a one in a million opportunity and she was sure no one else but Charles could grant her the information that would help both her and the rest of the Hug

It was what the likes of a treacherous family like them deserved.The Hughes family would get no mercy from the war god, just the pain, suffering and tears they had brought upon the Rhyfel family.Their actions had birthed the unstoppable existence that was the war god, and that very same existence that their actions had created would now be what would bring about their demise.Truly ironic if one were to consider it.And so following his order while having an idea of Arthur's intentions, the prominent information broker returned to his seat, eyeing the bodyguard as he prepared to carry out his plans.“So, are you done compiling the necessary information?” She questioned, her tone hinting at the sense of urgency she felt, although she tried to hide it.“Well, I am now, lady Laura.” he replied, adjusting his posture on his chair.“Then why the delay? Is he that important of a person that revealing his identity is problematic?” Her question did little to hide not just the sense of urgen
