She trembled in his hold and cried for longer than expected.

What if Richard didn’t appear out of nowhere and kill the boar? What if the boar had really killed her? Is the universe against her? Will she die soon?

Several questions raced through her mind, and they only made her cry the more.

She was frightened to her bones. Her bones were weak with terror.

When she was done crying, Richard cleaned her tears with his face towel. He placed the strap of the gun across his chest and proceeded to carry her in his arms.

Out of nowhere, Josh’s voice called out, “Janae!” He had heard the boar and the sudden gunshot.

“Janae! Are you hurt?” He asked, running to her the moment he found her. His eyes widened when he saw her red and tear mapped face, “Are you okay?”

“She looks startled, so I’m just going to take her,” Richard simply said and lifted her in his arms. Janae wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face in his chest.

He carried her till they were completely out of the wood

    Collin adjusted his shirt, pulling the collar down. He suddenly started to feel hot. He quickly grabbed a glass of water and chunk it down his throat. Suddenly, without warning, a sharp pain clawed at his chest. His body lurched forward—And in the next second, a violent gush of blood erupted from his mouth.Everyone’s eyes snapped at Collin. Another violent gush of blood erupted from his mouth. Tension rose and everyone dashed to his side. “Oh my God! What’s wrong??”Collin couldn’t let go of his collar as he tightened his grip on it as if he were struggling for air. His eyes bulged and his veins bulged too against the skin of his neck. “Dad! What’s the problem??” Daniel’s eyes widened in fear as he tried to hold his father in place. He grabbed a towel and cleaned his mouth full of blood, but Collin didn’t stop spewing blood. His bulging eyes were fixed on Daniel but he couldn’t speak. “Dad!” Daniel’s voice cracked with desperation as he yelled, his hands were now stained wit

    “Di–Did you just say paralysis?Richard nodded casually. Janae’s mother couldn’t contain the sorrow in her heart anymore. She immediately lunged at Josh and started hitting him, sobbing uncontrollably.“You! You sold that wine to my husband!” she screamed. “You vouched it was good! You- you-“ she began to choke on her tears. “Why did you do this to my family??!”Josh knew of the side effects of the wine. He knew the content of the wine and the damage it had caused in the country where he imported it from. But because of greed, he hopped on Colin’s deal and supplied the wine regardless, but never consumed it. He hoped that at least Daniel and Collin would have a strong enough immune system to fight the side effects of the wine. Unfortunately for him, things didn’t go as planned. “Ma’am- I’m… I’m sorry,” he tried to apologize, holding her hands but she didn't care. She thrashed her hands at him violently, slapping him and hitting his chest in intense fury.Collin’s sister and two

    Today was the remembrance of Richard’s late parents. As a tradition he had upheld every year, he went to buy them flowers and proceeded to visit their graves. They were buried in a private cemetery called Blackwood Cemetery. Richard arrived there a few hours after leaving the Vesters island. The place was as quiet as a graveyard as expected. Barely anyone was around. Richard located their graves, located side by side under the shade of an ancient oak tree. Their headstones were made of fine white marble, smooth and polished nicely. Even if they were dead, Richard made sure they had one of the finest headstones and the best location in the cemetery. A gentle breeze rustled through the benches of the tree as Richard bent down and sat on his mother’s grave cover, his finger tracing it gently. He sighed sadly before pulling out a cloth from his pocket and he began to clean, carefully g wiping away the dust and debris. He did this every time he came. When he was done, he replaced t

    “…Demar.”Richard’s eyes snapped at him, his heart increasingly pounding against his chest. “Demar??” He asked with widened eyes. “Demar what?” Richard asked to be very sure. “Demar Valkar,” Sir Bobby answered, his brows knitting together slowly. He tilted his head, “You’re Valkar. Do you know Demar?”Richard swallowed the large lump that formed in his throat and nodded slowly. “He- he was my father…”Bobby’s eyes widened in shock, his breath catching in his throat. He scrambled onto his knees, staring at Richard as if seeing a ghost. “You’re… you’re his son?” His voice barely rose above a whisper, yet it carried the weight of disbelief. Richard nodded slowly. “You know my father? He was your friend?” His brows furrowed. He didn’t remember Bobby as one of his dad’s friends, and Bobby was also quite older. “How come?” Bobby blinked rapidly, his lips parting, but no words came out at first. He ran a trembling hand over his face, exhaling sharply. “Wow…” His gaze remained locke

    Demar shook his head in dismay, his sadness palpable. “Sadly, you’re right. Isn’t it terrible?” His heart ached.A sharp gasp tore from Richard’s lips, his chest tightening at the sad discovery. His hand found his chest and he clutched it. What could his father have done to these killers to warrant taking his life?? To the best of his knowledge, his father was a good man, so why?“Why?” Richard whispered. He was beyond stunned and in disbelief that tears began to well up in his eyes. Sir Bobby sighed. “Demar was a good man… He didn’t deserve it at all. He took care of the less privileged, he was too selfless for his own good, in fact. He always made sure no one around him suffered…”Bobby let out a sudden chuckle. “He was too good. I’ve never met a man with such integrity in over sixty years of my life. He was a great man and he touched so many lives.”Richard nodded in agreement and smiled. He knew his father. “You.. said you saw the driver and the other hit man, can you describe

    When Richard stepped in, he met Janae sitting next to her father who was asleep and cleaning his hands with a damp, warm towel. “Hiii, Richard.” Her face lit up the moment she noticed Richard step in. “How are you today?” she asked. She had not seen him since the hunting day. It had been over two days and clearly, she had missed his presence on the island. “You’re finally back!” She added, her excitement evident. Richard offered a light smile and nodded. “I’m doing okay. How are you too?” he asked, before setting down his kit. “I’m good too,” she responded. Richard nodded and flashed a smile at here before opening his kit. His work today was going to be very easy; all he had to do was to administer the antidote to them and they’d be whole. So he grabbed to small vial of the antidote for each of them with syringes. Without hesitation, he pierced the vial with the needle and extracted the liquid. “Sorry, please give me a minute,” Richard said to Janae as he stepped t

    “What?!” Janae’s eyes bulged in shock. “Wh–Wha–“ she stammered, trying to comprehend what she had just heard.Colin was the perpetrator?? How is that possible??Janae was speechless, likewise Colin. Unable to speak, his eyes remained bulged as he struggled hard to speak. “Mm-hmm hmm hmmm”He wanted to speak so bad that his frustration was already boiling over at his inability to move or speak. In that moment, tears began to roll from the corners of his eyes to his ears. Janae’s head snapped to her mother, as if looking for her disagreement, but her mother’s head fell, confirming Sir Vester’s claims. Janae gasped, her heart racing faster than it was. Her dad had planned it all? Even if she didn’t have a great relationship with her dad, she couldn’t believe it. It was completely absurd. Why would he want his own father dead?Richard remained quiet and just observed. As always, he just wanted to mind his business. Janae’s eyes fell on her father and her heart ached. She could see him

    Janae’s heart filled with joy and relief as she saw her father and brother’s fingers and toes twitch. Her hand quickly found her mouth, covering it to silence her gasp. She turned to Richard and smiled. “Thank you,” she whispered from where she stood. Richard nodded, and offered her a warm smile too.“They should be good in a few minutes,” he assured them, Janae and her mother were the only ones back in the room. The rest of the family members couldn’t care less about Daniel and Colin’s recovery. Janae’s mother placed her hand on Richard’s arm. “Thank you very much, for everything you’ve done for us. Thank you, we can’t thank you enough…”“You’re welcome, ma’am,” Richard said, placing his hand on hers. He understood exactly how she felt. He knew how it felt like to lose a loved one. Her eyes were swollen and red—the evidence of how much tears she had spilled. Her face looked pale as well, she had cried her eyes out over the past two days. And with the new, sudden discovery of h

    “Ehhh!!” She screamed in shock, awe and excitement as her eyes darted to the rest of her family members. “Richard is the Supreme Commander??”Sir Vester was beyond stunned. He had zero idea. The Vester family were now back to their villa. Though, the air between the family was still thick with tension as Collin was yet to clear his name off the accusation of his father.And Sir Vester was not ready to listen to his baseless claims. But the public scrutiny was over, and Collin’s name was now cleared after he made a public apology. The antidotes Richard had provided worked perfectly well and everyone was now in good health. Josh, on the other hand, was now in police custody facing trial. The family members were utterly stunned in their seats as their eyes darted around at each other in the living room. Even though Sir Vester knew of Richard’s great martial arts abilities, he never would have expected that Richard would be filling such a great position. The position was only filled

    ***The streets of Kora trembled with anticipation. Crowds had lined both sides of the wide, cleared road by the city gates. Men, women, and children, all gathered to witness the return of their warriors. Will they come back victorious? Or will their bodies and remains be sent back home? They could only wait to find out. Then, a deep rumble echoed through the city. The first army truck rolled into view. A wave of silence passed over the crowd for a split second, as if they held their breath—then an eruption of cheers shook the air. “They did it! They won!” “Whoa! We won!”“The great warriors of Kora have returned!” People clapped and waved the banners of their country high, their voices blending into a triumphant roar. “Oh my god! I can’t believe we actually did it!” Some wept, overwhelmed by relief. If they had lost the battle, Ashton would have taken over the entire Kora. And by now, they’d have probably been getting ready to become slaves in their own land. Others

    Then Richard grabbed the sword from its sharp blade, its sharpness tearing his flesh as blood trickled down the blade. Uh! The Ashton commander and warrior furrowed their brows, taken aback just for a second. But that second was all Richard needed. Before they knew it, Richard pulled the sword out of his flesh and sliced both their throats with just one swift, precise and deadly motion on one foot.The next second, his wounds healed completely as if nothing had happened. Before their blood could even stain the dirt, his wounds had sealed before their very widened eyes. His flesh knitted itself together as if untouched, as if the injury had never happened.Across the battlefield, Delilah stood frozen, her breath caught in her throat. She had happened to see everything play out.She had seen the impossible.Her heart pounded, as her eyes widened. What... did I just witness?She gasped, her grip tightened around her sword as disbelief swirled in her eyes. "This..." she whispered, her

    Another Ashton warrior sneered as he dodged a desperate strike from a Kora fighter. “Pathetic. Do you even know how to wield a sword, or did they just hand you one and hope for the best?” He asked, making the others around him burst into laughter. “They weak as fuck!”“Haha. I expected more, can’t lie.”A Kora soldier gritted his teeth in pain, panting as he barely blocked an incoming strike. “You talk too much,” he spat, forcing himself to his feet. The Ashton warrior smirked, effortlessly pushing him back. “And you fight too little.” Without wasting time, he sent the Kora soldier crashing to the ground, the tip of his blade pressing against his throat. “Run. If you want to live.” But the Kora soldier refused to move. He knew this was the end for him as he had no ounce of strength left in him. He spat “I’d rather die than flee.” “Suit yourself,” the Ashton warrior said, raising his sword— —only to be met with a deadly slash from Richard, who appeared in a flash, his blade

    Two weeks later, the warriors of Kora took the sacred journey to The Vale of Blades. Would this be a journey of no return for them? They could only strive to find out.Dawn after dawn, dusk after dusk, they had trained relentlessly alongside the forces of their three powerful allies. Sweat and blood mixed with the earth beneath their feet as they sharpened their skills, their minds and resolve. Every morning had begun with the clash of swords; every night had ended with aching muscles and bruises, yet not once had they faltered. Richard was more than ready for this. His warriors were just as ready to put their lives on the line for their nation. They had toiled under the weight of expectation, under the pressure of the war to come. Now, the time had arrived. Today, they would fight until their last drop of blood was shed and until they drew their final breath.They arrived at the large battle field and were now standing in place; the warriors of Kora to the right and the warrior

    “In the light of that, I have three special guests here to meet you all,” he said with a bright smile. Everyone began to look around for the guests. And just then, the steel door opened and three foreign commanders walked in. They were dressed like commanders but in different uniforms. Everyone turned to look at the three figures who had just entered. Their uniforms were foreign and their faces were unfamiliar. A murmur of confusion rippled through the ranks. Who were they?Had Richard brought in commanders to train them? If so, what was the point? Training was important, but they didn’t have the luxury of time. They thought. There was no drill, no technique, no strategy they could master in the little time left that would make a real difference against Ashton’s overwhelming forces. They turned their confused glances back to Richard, but he remained calm, his expression unreadable. When the commanders reached before Richard, they bowed deeply in reverence. Richard returned

    She bit her lips lightly as her head fell. Richard turned his attention back to the rest of the warriors. “Today marks the beginning of a new era. The weak will be forged into steel. The strong will become legends…”He paused for a moment. Then, his voice rang with finality as he raised his hands slightly to his sides. “Now, warriors of the Sect, swear your allegiance.”For a moment, there was only silence. Then, as if the very walls of the hall could feel the shift in power, every warrior moved as one. “We swear our allegiance!”Their voices thundered in unison, shaking the foundation of the building. Boots slammed against the floor as they reinforced their salute, their fists striking their chests in a display of unwavering loyalty.“To our Supreme Commander. To the Blood Moon!”Richard stood tall, nodding as satisfaction overwhelmed him while he took in the sight before him. Hundreds of warriors, their faces filled with conviction, their loyalty sealed in those words. As tradi

    Commander Stephen’s voice thundered across the hall. And in perfect unison, the warriors echoed the chant, their voices rising in a powerful declaration.“All hail Supreme Commander Valkar!”“All hail Supreme Commander Valkar!”“All hail Supreme Commander Valkar!”Boots struck the ground, the force shaking the very foundation of the building. Hands remained raised in an unwavering salute, their bodies still as they honored their new leader. Richard stood, his expression unreadable. He looked too young, but his aura was suffocating in its sheer intensity. They all could feel it!With slow, deliberate movements, he raised a hand In acknowledgment of their respect and loyalty—the silent gesture that solidified his position as their Supreme Commander. He lowered it with controlled grace before turning toward the throne. Without hesitation, he ascended the platform, his steps sending ripples of dominance through the air.And with ease, he took his seat. The golden throne seemed to mol

    The following week, Delilah was in her workspace at home tending to certain top-secret documents when her phone buzzed with a text. She lazily glanced at the text, and suddenly, her brows lifted in surprise. Without hesitation, she closed the document before her, tossed it in the safe and grabbed her phone. Just as she was about to fly out of her seat, Helen barged in. “My lady, I apologize,” she quickly bowed, her tone filled with urgency. “I just received an urgent message. Your attention is needed at the headquarters…”“Yes, I just got it.” Before Helen could complete her sentence, Delilah dashed out of the office and ran to her room. She needed to change into her uniform and boots as quickly as possible and head to the headquarters. She had just received news out of nowhere that the new leader and owner of the Sect was ready to meet with the members. Finally, their mysterious leader was ready to reveal himself and sit on his throne. It was a very urgent call. She got downs
