Return of the war god Chapter 55
"Then do it." Arthur replied casually wiping his gloved hands on the clothes of one of the unconscious guys. Noticing the shocked expression of everyone present, he continued, "The moment you do that, there will be nothing holding me back from venting my annoyance on you and I doubt you'll live long enough."Arthur's words were delivered with an icy tone emphasizing his stand on the matter.This wasn't the first hostage situation he had been in.Even if one didn't wish to count the several experiences he had during the war, he recalled the most annoying memory of Luna's situation.And not only did that make him grow more frustrated at the current situation, it also reminded him of what was at stake.He was the war god, the unbreakable Citadel and he was not going to let anything or anyone taint those titles."Don't give me that! You will not move from there, understand?!" Sighing tiredly, Arthur beckoned Anais over, taking off his coat and handing it to her before he removed his bow

Noticing her hesitation and linking it to their earlier interaction, Arthur chuckled and opened the glove compartment in the car, pulling out a familiar white mask with a rose pattern on the side.Showing it to her and responding to her wide-eyed expression with a smile, he asked cooly, "Does this answer your question?"The doors to the Lefevre mansion opened quietly, a silent exchange between Anais and her father's butler prevented the head of the house and Anais' visiting brother from being aware of her returning home.Washing up and laying on her bed, Anais covered her face with her pillow and squealed gleefully. Never would she have thought she would get the chance to meet with the one Ana teased as her "Prince Charming" so soon.Deep down, Anais hoped she would have another chance to meet Arthur Rhyfel.Arthur leaned back in his chair, sighing tiredly. Though several days had passed, it was only a few moments ago that the assault case by a few college kids against him had close

Clearing his throat, Charles continued, "Unfortunately as she is usually hidden and not as popular as her counterparts among the seven great families, I am not wholly aware of her family's interests but what I did fine after some digging was this." He handed two files to Arthur."What am I supposed to be looking at here?" Arthur asked, glancing from the papers to Charles."A list of her informants in various organizations including the police." Arthur's subordinate, Charles said proudly, interlocking his fingers and resting his elbows on the table.Right from the war period to even before that, Charles had been widely known amongst the upper brass of society as the best information broker.But even while he was neutral while distributing the required information with most of his customers, he had an undisputed loyalty towards Uther Rhyfel, Arthur's father. While due to his position as a widely known information broker, he couldn't publicly express his loyalty, both he and Uther were

To her this was both the most difficult part and at other times the most beautiful part of her show, depending on how generous her fans were, or in some cases, how good they wanted to look.Her brows furrowed slightly at the persisting silence and a tired sigh escaped her, she expected at least one person would be kind enough to donate any amount to her cause.The screen behind her dinged as a well-known philanthropist climbed onto the stage, a small round of applause from the crowd as he made his way to the manager and Ayame who rose to shake him.Ayame's hopes that had risen earlier were soon dashed and not a single person had donated after the previous encounter. Masking her frustration with a smile, she stole a glance at her manager, unable to read the expression he wore.Sighing into the microphone, the manger spoke up, his next words shocking Ayame beyond measure."Ah, it seems Aya and I forgot to mention this beforehand so there's an announcement I'd like to make. The donor wit

It's quite funny, y'know," Arthur said, with an amused glint in his eyes, "when people accuse others of what they themselves are guilty of.""How dare you?!!"Meeting the man's enraged glare with a mocking smirk, Arthur pulled out his phone from his pocket, paying no further heed to their statements.But that phone was no ordinary phone, it was one linked to the series of rewards that his obsidian card was a part of.The card which seemingly had an unimaginable amount of money within.While he could not recollect the exact mission that had the phone as a reward, as he usually was more focused on the stat upgrades as well as the presence of any new titles, he had noted how beneficial the physical rewards were.After all, it was mainly because of that Luna had once again regained her ability to walk and after he rescued her, being able to treat her without issues was also a result of the system reward.The phone gave Arthur the ability to use the finances within the obsidian card withou

A genuine laugh escaped Arthur, an act that he hadn't expressed in a while. Rising from the chair, much to Ayame's surprise, he turned around and said. "I was promised a dinner date and I don't know about you but I'm quite hungry."Hopping off the sofa, Ayame stretched, pointing to the door afterwards with a playful tone, "Let's get going then.”The dinner went by far faster than Aya had hoped it would, bringing to mind the common saying, "Time flies when you're having fun."From catching up to the usual jokes exchanged between the two of them, if one had seen them at that dinner, they wouldn't have believed that years had passed since the last time the two had met and hung out with each other, much less spoken to one another.After a few hours of enjoying the three course meal and each other's company, they stepped out of the restaurant, which coincidentally happened to be the one he had relieved Pablo of.Taking a deep breath, Arthur stretched out, raising a brow at Ayame's amused e

"Oh yeah," she turned around, digging into one of the pockets of her brown trench coat and pulling out a black face mask. "You don't want a case where you're seen right?""Thanks." He smiled gratefully at her, putting it on with ease and adjusting it with his gloved hands.He waited until she had hidden completely, rising to a stand and putting on his black leather gloves. Walking to the warehouse with both hands in his pockets, a slim and sturdy steel pipe caught his interest.Picking it up and doing a few experimental swings, he was satisfied with its weight distribution and decided to use it.Arthur scanned the entire compound, focusing on the warehouse and means of entry. After planning out his route mentally, he decided to implement it.It was then, the infamous kidnapping ring met their end.The silence was interrupted by muffled whacks which cued in a series of dull thuds with the only thing interrupting the quiet afterwards being a pained groan.After making quick work of the

"I'll give a recommendation to our clients about whoever can bring me his head and as for the girls, throw them back in their cells, we'll discipline them later." The rotund man ordered, his men cheering in response.Their cheering soon ceased as a loud thwack echoed throughout the building, the dull thud that was the body of one of their colleagues startled them even further, a few stepping back instinctively."You didn't come to me, so I had to come to you." Arthur remarked coolly, spinning the pipe in hand."What are you idiots waiting for?! Get him!""That's it, don't waste my time." Arthur said cooly, rushing towards the approaching henchmen.For a plan that was created for the purpose of destroying the hope of the victims, the kidnappers watched any hope of winning slowly dwindle against the masked man.He weaved through their attacks and struck in a manner that reminded one of a mamba, but the strength in each of his strikes was slightly off from being fatal, after all they wer

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
