If not because that the mansion was smaller, it looked just like the U.S white house of the 21st century, though a more technologically packed one.
The compound stretched for about 2 kilometers of land, making it seem like those depicted in sci-fi movies. It was completely colored in white, presenting it in a more beautiful and otherworldly light.
The mighty fence stretched widely like a bowstring, covering the kilometers large land like the great ancient walls of China.
The main mansion building stretched to the skies like the great castles propelled by the magic beans, in the epic Puss in boots cartoon movie of old. Clark was completely floored and mesmerized.
“Am I the owner of this mansion?” He questioned his assistant again incredulously.
Rose smiled, as with a command from her, the enormous energy-powered gate opened immediately.
On entering, Clark felt like he just stepped into the beautiful environs of heaven. Bright shin
After Clark broke the training records for 2nd rank high-grade soldiers and displayed his strength in public, all the challengers who wanted to use him to take a fast climb to fame cowered back. He succeeded in using Corporal Davis as his stepping stone to cement his position in the army. Though the result of the duel drew a lot of attention, it did not affect the important things as the Spartan army continued operation like usual.To the big shots in the army, he was still just a sprouting sapling. They would pay more attention to him when he finally grew to the required level where he would be free as an eagle.He did not care about the opinion of others though, as he got the result that he wanted. He scared the hungry challengers away and got a sizable sum of 500,000 milit
Dozens of minutes after Clark took off with his entourage of soldiers, he finally arrived at the border territory of Vatican City.On arriving, he reduced the speed at which he traveled on the highway before navigating directly to the city hall, where the current diplomatic leaders of the city were waiting.After informing them some minutes ago that he was coming, they all quickly converged from wherever they were to the city hall.After another 2 minutes of driving without sidelining, he finally arrived at the large city hall.All the influential leaders of the city stood outside the hall like a group of students welcoming their principal with respectful expressions on their faces, as they welcomed their new superior.Clark did not go inside the hall to discuss with them. He just exchanged greetings with the leaders, thanked them for finding time to come out and welcome him, before apologizing as he had to go.After leaving his soldiers to
In a brightly lit and well-furnished sitting room, Emily sat on one of the chairs, discussing leisurely with her friend. Today, she got dressed again in her red and black adventure-like outfit.Not long after, they ended their discussion before going out together. This time, Clark got dressed in a combat vest also, with a pair of black designers unaffiliated military trousers to complement it.After entering the car, they quickly drove out in the direction of the weapons specialist’s town.In this part of the Landmark kingdom, the weapons specialist’s town is a town that was established only for those selling and dealing in machinery-related jobs and occupations. It was a haven for machines.It was where most of the people specializing in anything related to machines and technology are found.This was where Monkey hands recommended Clark to go, to get his mask scanned to know its exact value.As the town was not far from the loca
After getting out of the territory of the weapons specialist’s town, Clark took a sharp turn, driving to the outskirts of the town. As the town was close to the Landmark border, they were essentially going to the outskirts of the country.During their discussions back in the day, they settled on taking the simplest and most practical mission. As its location was also the closest to the Landmark kingdom, they readily settled on it.As it was a level 1 mission, it was not too difficult. For the current them, the mission was simply beans. But they still had to be cautious, as not everything was as they eye saw, complications could arise at any point.The target of the mission was a pirate soldier. Scarface was the name he was known as. He was only a 1st rank high-grade soldier, so they did not feel any pressure on taking it.The only thing that could develop to become a problem, was that the man developed a small pirate organization that already had ab
After packing up their stuff and equipment, the group of mercenaries finally embarked on their journey to the deeper parts of the forest.None of them came with cars or any other traveling companion, so they all trudged deeper into the forest by foot. The journey was completely silent, as Clark and Emily trailed behind them with the poker expressions still on their faces.The mercenary who originally seemed like the strongest finally brought out a device to check the direction that they were going at, after confirming that the frightening female mercenary was not still pissed from what happened earlier.After checking the special mercenary tracking device, he quickly found what he wanted. He opened his mouth to speak but was swift to stop himself, he secretly scolded himself for being careless before he turned to look at Emily.His look was self-explanatory, it was the permission-asking look. Please, can I speak?After getting a stiff nod from her,
Clark was confused and perplexed by Emily’s decision to name her mercenary group after his surname. The reason that she gave for making the decision, was even weirder to him.“What is going on in her head?” He sighed again, recalling the reason why she named it after him.According to her, she named it Pendragon because she did not want to run and manage it alone. She wanted him to be the leader. The reason for her wanting him to be the leader, she did not mention.“Girls are really…?” He shook his head to dispel his random thoughts, before turning back to face her and the mercenaries.Though shouting that you’ve created a mercenary organization was simple, officially starting it after registration was troublesomely tedious.He was happy that he suddenly became the leader of a mercenary group from nowhere, but he accepted it calmly only because he did not have to take care of it. She was still the default

For the next days after he had a meeting with all the leaders and commissioners of Vatican City, Clark trained for most of the time, while at times calling again for other meetings to know the current development.During these meetings, he already forged small bonds with some of the leaders and diplomats.He was able to get close and know more about them, and he already knew the people he would remove from their positions as soon as his inauguration was successfully done.After 16 days since the terms were laid, his mansion was finally built. He launched its opening with a small party between the leaders, to forge closer relationships with them.Throughout the month, his normal routine was practically just to train, train, and engage in meetings with the leaders.Despite the slow manner in which the days passed to him, it was finally here, April 2nd, the day of his inauguration. Op
6 months ago, the sky turned red which according to world leaders signified the start of the war that would decide the fate of humanity.2 months prior, the news was finally publicized, spreading worldwide panic but with all the most powerful world leaders working together, the panic was easily curbed and order was restored.According to the government, humanity was not hopeless, they had heroes in the form of their soldiers and elite soldiers.Not only that, humanity had a superhero, the great Elite Commander Clark Pendragon. After the special training started, a fuse seemed to have been switched on as the Spartan soldier experienced a period of rapid growth.With veteran Elite Commanders around to guide him and with every resource he needed available, he encountered no bottlenecks, he improved at a superhuman speed never recorded since the human race was born.In just 4 months, he broke through 2 times, going all the way to the Elite-grade rank.
A month later, in the Gen. Clark Pendragon Mansion.At the big balcony attached to the mansion, Clark stood, looking out into the distance as a lot of things went through his mind. The past one month has been the best in his life, and he was grateful for it.Despite it being the best in his life, as a 4th rank high-grade soldier now, his intuition told him that something was happening.As a high-grade soldier and mercenary, things happened everyday around him but he knew that this was not the normal happenings, his intuition told him that this was far higher than anything that he has encountered before.And after making connections from the recent happenings, from his famous marriage ceremony, to the big 5 jointly broadcasting it, a lot of other things and now the Spartan President personally calling for him, he confirmed his guess.Something big was happening, it was just that no one deemed it right to inform him about it yet. As a man
Vatican City Central Church, General Clark Street. This was the church where the big things were happening for today. Not only people from all over the Spartan republic, even esteemed guests from foreign high-grade countries came to grace this occasion. Today was the day of Vatican City hero’s marriage ceremony. After 22 years as a single, General Clark Pendragon was finally ready to tie the nut with his fiancée. The name of the street where the ceremony was commencing was given and commissioned a few days after Clark became a General. Some of the most esteemed guests attending the marriage ceremony were the legendary President of the Spartan republic, Leonidas, and the armor tycoon, the billionaire Mr. Calibri of the Dakran republic. These 2 people were such powerful and well-known personalities in their own rights that their attendance alone shot the attention being given to the marriage ceremony to the highest point. Not only that,
“Leonidas, you wish to attend?”Hearing that, the Spartan President sighed, exasperated. “If you were not my mentor, I would have probably fired you already. Cough…, sorry for that but I’m really going, what’s the big deal?”“You’re really asking me that right now? Of course, there’s a big deal. Apart from military burials, do you know the last time you have for social gatherings?”“I dunno, probably a decade or 2”.“No…, 4 decades! 4 whole decades! You get that?” The old man emphasized by waving his hands vigorously, showing 4 fingers at the powerful soldier.“Suddenly going to a social event after such a long time staying at home, what do you think will be people’s reaction. They may feel that something is happening, they may even panic”.“And just because he’s a 4th rank high-grade soldier does not change anythin
A day after the reunion with her family, Sonia took permission with her parents before going on the first official date with her boyfriend. It was a date, but they just wanted to spend more time together and close to each other. The few years apart was torment to them, now that they had the opportunity, they wanted to make up for it by all means. At first, staying together left them feeling awkward but they soon got over it and started reliving the feelings of a few years ago. For the destination for their first date, none of them planned for it as they were both individuals who have never interacted with the opposite sex in such fashions before now. As the only daughter of a famous billionaire, other billionaire sons already tried courting her in the past but she simply didn’t find them appealing enough, so she always ignored and avoided them. After just a day of staying with Clark, her brother, and her parents in her childhood home, she now
Among the 3 Pirate Gods in the Sahara, though none of them never publicly claimed the spot as the strongest, the Black Pirate God was the one most recognized by pirates as the strongest. After him was the powerful Red Goddess Pirate, then the Lilac Pirate God. Compared to the first 2, the Lilac Pirate God was on the more glaringly weaker side but he still had the strength to back his title. At this moment, in the Black God Pirate City, a surprising piece of news was being circulated. Pirate Queen Anamel was dead, and Pirate Queen Cobra was secretly a student of the Red Goddess. Not only that, the most shocking piece of news that took the city by storm was that of Pirate Queen Cobra’s intention to leave the Sahara and settle in normal human settlements outside. … “Is this news verified?” A deep voice asked with suppressed anger in an underground room with far better living conditions than most of the others out there in the desert. “Yes
Though they both wanted to just remain in each other’s embrace forever, Clark and Sonia knew that they were still in a pirate city and what it meant. With reluctance, they quickly left the city with Arthur.Even if they tried to cover it up, it was impossible so they didn’t bother. In minutes, the news of Pirate Queen Anamel’s death spread through the pirate city and beyond.For long, Clark has always been worried about his reaction when he finally saw Sonia again but he was surprised when he did. It was like they never separated; it was like they’ve lived through all these years together.15 minutes later, they got sufficiently far away into the desert from the pirate city so they finally had the time to speak things out.Sonia brought out the stolen pistol first, which Clark handed over to Arthur. After this, she finally started detailing her encounters after Clark asked.According to her, after the fierce battle on her fa
While Arthur asked the pirate, Clark already went to work as he closed his eyes to focus. As experienced soldiers, they already put a lot of contingencies in place during their tour around the pirate city.Even if they wanted to catch some fun, it was too unrealistic for them to just keep touring without setting anything in place.With his implant, Clark immediately accessed the hidden cameras that they placed around the city, most especially this bar. It didn’t take him long; he saw a hooded female going out through the bar’s back door.“Found our target”.While muttering to Arthur, Clark already turned to storm out of the bar. Arthur simply knocked the 2 pirates out before storming out also.In seconds, they were out of the bar’s main structure.…A few meters away from the bar, a hooded lady walked through the streets at a leisure pace as she kept a close but alert eye on her surroundings.<
The next day, Clark and Arthur woke up with the intention to remain patient while waiting for their informant to contact them. They didn’t even go into the pirate city, it was too disgusting for them to stay in it. The more Clark felt this way, the more he feared what his girlfriend may have become now. If just a day staying in it could make him this irritated, he just couldn’t imagine what staying here for 4 years could have done. Thinking of this, he felt guilty again. “Why didn’t I come earlier?” Souring his mood with such thoughts, the day moved extremely slowly to him. Perhaps, having noticed his current mood, Arthur didn’t disturb him and opted to go out hunting alone. When he came back, he had a desert antelope with him. Seeing the catch, Clark was left speechless. “Can we finish that?” Arthur wasn’t fazed by his question. “If we can’t finish it today, we’ll just finish it tomorrow or the next. Don’t worry, I have preservation gadgets with me, and besides, your girlfriend
