Return of the war god Chapter 120
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

Standing between, one of Henri's subordinates explained the rules and conditions for the fight less for the participants and more for the onlookers, to bring some up to speed while validating the theories of others.After confirming that both parties were in good condition and ready to begin, he signaled for both men to begin.And thus began the legend of the war god within the Lefevre house.“Oh and just so you know,” Arthur stated, causing his opponent to ease his stance as he raised a brow in curiosity. “Don't be foolish enough to say anything stupid like you'll give me a chance to land three hits or something.”Shrugging while purposefully ignoring the infuriated man, he continued, “Not only is it awfully cheesy, there's another major problem with it.”He paused for a moment, holding the gaze of the head of security with that of a solemn look.“You'll die if you do that, y'know.”Dean wasted no time in closing the distance between them, throwing out jabs with lethal precision and

Dean's mind raced with questions or as much as he could manage considering how much heat he felt in his torso and how difficult it was for him to breathe.He had imagined how his state would have been much worse than how it currently was if he hadn't instinctively listened to Arthur's warning.That was before he realized how lucky he was that his opponent gave him a warning in the first place, else it would have been less of a difficulty in breathing and more of an inability to breathe.A set of violent coughs racked his body and the ringing in his ears slowly died down. His near crippled state had been brought about by a single punch.But it wasn't a strike from just anyone, it was one from the war god himself, even though he was still holding himself back greatly to avoid killing Henri's head of security.As a loud buzzing sound soon replaced the former ringing that was brought about by Arthur's hit, Dean was unable to hear the chatter that passed across the audience.No one present
Return of the war god Chapter 125
For the fourth time that morning, a gasp emanated from the crowd as they all set sight on the one thought to be undefeated lying on the floor unconscious.The onlookers had experienced one shocking scene after the other. Their surprise wasn't just because they hadn't expected such things to occur, it was also because they did not believe it could be as absurd as they had witnessed.It was one thing telling them that Dean, the head of the Lefevre's security and the strongest man most of them knew, was defeated, but it was another completely different thing saying he was taken down in two hits, where the first would have done the job.Their whispers grew louder as the man granted the role of the referee cautiously approached Dean to inspect his unconscious form. After noting he was still alive although possibly experiencing a concussion, he sighed in relief and turned from Arthur to the crowd, announcing him as the winner.Dean's direct subordinates were the most surprised out of everyo

Arthur inhaled deeply, exhaling audibly right after while he stared at the ceiling. He remained in that position for a few moments before assuming a more formal posture afterwards.He glanced from the man before him to the translucent blue system window that had appeared right after his victory but as he was unable to respond to it due to the heavy crowd surrounding him, it disappeared from his sight as it had done many times before.Aside from the more expected vanishing that always occurred after he accepted a mission, right from the very first time he had come in contact with the system, he noticed that on the occasions he was unable to interact with it, perhaps due to onlookers or emergencies, it would simply vanish and reappear much later.A small smile vanished almost as soon as it appeared on his lips as he recalled the very first time it had occurred and he was truly frightened that he had perhaps lost all his rewards at the time as the mission was quite difficult. But fortu

Arthur had given him an instruction and Henri was ready to fulfill it as soon as he possibly could.So once it seemed Arthur was done speaking with him, he set out, eager to cross out the tasks he had set in his mental to do list.They were simple straightforward tasks and unless another variable arose, he was to have no issues accomplishing them. So he set out.His first mission as he had already rounded up all his paperwork the night before, was to check on Dean's state in the infirmary within his manor.While Henri was told that Dean's state wasn't one that required one to go to the hospital, it was still a big enough problem that he couldn't have been instructed to just sleep off the problem.“Welcome sir.” The staff on the clock greeted the silent Henri.With his response being a simple nod, he looked about the somewhat empty clinic before returning his attention to the slowly breathing form of his head of security.Moving his troubled gaze from the unconscious Dean with the I.V

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
