Return of the war god Chapter 34
"That's a better look," Arthur tilted his head in mild amusement, turning to Leon who had a similar reaction."Now, the food's getting cold on the floor. Lick it.""I'm sorry to interrupt but," Ana stated, nervously fiddling with her fingers, "There's no need to do all this my sake."Raising a brow at her, Arthur said, "Don't be mistaken, this isn't for you. This is simply a lesson to teach a fool his place. And also, I don't appreciate being interrupted."But while he said that, his actions also had her in mind, because even after getting Liam McHenry to give her a job and giving her some money, the system had yet to notify him of the mission's completion.So he assumed like with his previous experiences, it was tied to his main mission which was to utterly destroy Pablo.And compared to what he had originally planned, this was much milder. But Arthur already knew, it would be all in due time.Observing her apologetic bow briefly, Arthur returned his attention to Pablo, his tone low

She exhaled tiredly, watching the cool mist that formed by her mouth with an annoyed expression. She felt like a fool expecting a lowly man of his caliber to understand manners and courtesy. Two black jeeps drove into the vicinity, their doors opening as soon as they halted. A man with a low cut and trimmed beard approached the waiting brunette with two men in tow, the rest surveying the area. Approaching her in a cheery manner, he hollered lightheartedly. "If it isn't Ms Laura Hughes of the great Hughes family in the flesh?" He neared her with an intention to hug her, but her next comment swiftly caused him to cease his action. "Lieutenant Ross, was it?" She held his gaze, her brown eyes reflecting the annoyance she felt, "You should know I don't like being kept waiting." Smiling dryly, he replied, "Don't be like that, Ms Hughes or should I say Madam Hughes?" Glancing past him to the crates that his subordinates had stacked by the cars, Laura remarked coldly, "Let's ge

Arthur had gone to the Lefevre household with the intention of negotiating a deal that would not only grant him a prominent figure as an ally but would also provide him a large network of contacts. After all if he wanted to keep the ones aware of his identity as the war god down to a small number, he had to have means he could follow as the military medic he pretended to be.But what he didn't expect was that a poison that had forced him to learn medical skills to survive as a system mission would rear its ugly head thousands of miles away.After all, with the symptoms he saw, there was no way what the daughter of the household was dealing with was anything but said poison.Silently weighing the pros and cons of his mentally suggested set of actions against each other, especially with the mission given to hjm by the system, Arthur decided to follow through.Walking to the opposite side of the bed, he observed Henri's daughter closely, tapping the bLiamm of his chin while he confirmed

A week had gone by in a flash, and a call from the Lefevre house reached Arthur.During that time, something of a warm home experience was how he would've described his time with both Luna and Agatha.He couldn't deny the motherly behavior she had towards him even though he was her superior and for a moment he could sense some similarities between her and his mother.Arthur then understood that was why Luna was so fond of her.But concerning the call, simply assuming Henri's ability to acquire his contact was because of Liam, he made preparations to see him.He didn't doubt that his antidote would work, but there were things Arthur wanted to confirm in person and so his eagerness to leave was slightly more than before.That and due to his discussion with Luna, she wanted to go along with him, eager to see the medical might of her cousin.The drive to the mansion was uneventful and silent, with the exemption of a few occasional remarks or questions by Luna.Upon arriving at the front
Return of the war god Chapter 38
Luna watched the two of them discuss, surprised to see how the one she always viewed as her younger cousin had grown. It seemed his time in the military had really changed him.Smiling sadly, Luna regretted that she and Arthur couldn't have had normal lives all because of the actions of others.Shaking her head subtly, she decided to help him to have as much of a normal life as they could possibly have.Arthur noticed Luna's reactions but remained silent, leaving her to her own thoughts. At the very least she didn't feel lonely or bored in any way.Putting that aside, his thoughts returned to his earlier statement on forming a scouting team of sorts.He remembered just how important reconnaissance was in the battle and while the use of violence and the like was minimal, this was still a form of battle.And information was highly valued. So he needed a team just dedicated to searching, extracting and giving him information whenever he requested it.The car stopped at another similar ye

Scanning the records placed before him, the aged police commissioner frowned, stroking his full white beard. The three murders that had occurred in the span of less than a month had put immense pressure on them.Mainly because they were all important members of the seven great families, groups only regarded as below the four Armaments and the royal family in the empire.And while that was a nightmare for the entire law enforcement agencies within and outside the city. There was also the fact that one of the deaths had dragged in the man called the Shield of the Empire, one of the four Armaments.His very attention made the situation all the more tension filled."First, Nathaniel, then Johnathan and Ethan too. Just what is all this?" He muttered, a knock on his office door attracting his attention."Come in," his gruff voice was met by the quiet click of his door as an officer walked in, a few documents in hand."What is it?" He asked, glancing from the papers to the uniformed woman w

Turning to him wide-eyed, Isabella glanced back at the older men who stood in a group, a few catching her eyes and smiling at her. She faced Arthur with a sigh. "Guess I've been found out." Arthur sipped the last of his drink, placing his glass and gesturing for her to put hers on a passing server's tray.Clinging on Arthur's hand much to his surprise, Isabella leaned closer as she spoke, "Since you've exposed my genius plan, you'll have to make do as my date for the night."Arthur had decided since he set foot in the auction hall, that he would place his role as the son of the Rhyfel house as first priority and if that required him to adapt as he did on the battlefield, then so be it.Smiling politely, Arthur's gaze took on a cold calculative look while he watched the seemingly innocent Isabella.He knew something else was at play, but decided to go along with it, after all there was nothing anyone of them here could do to be a threat to him.Leading her through the hall, they sca

Arthur smiled in response to her remark, and saw her off, returning to meet the surprised Isabella."That was Mrs Elizabeth? The Mrs Elizabeth of Elizabeth lines??" "Yes, it was." Arthur replied curtly, taking away the briefcase of money that she held in hand easily."Everything went according to your plan, didn't it?" He stated, his jovial expression nowhere to be seen."I don't get what you mean?"Letting out an annoyed sigh, Arthur stated, "You were looking for someone to rid you of that pest, so you decided either you get someone good enough to have him gone or a nobody who he can get drunk of the fame of embarrassing, am I wrong?"She went silent, pointedly avoiding Arthur's cold gaze while fiddling with her fingers."I simply went along because he began to annoy me, and nuisances like him need to be put in their place, but," he walked closer to her, his tone taking on a threatening growl, "I do not appreciate being used."He recalled experiences he had during the war.When othe

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
