“Yes, we got engaged 2 weeks ago after my pregnancy was confirmed”. As she said this, Emily stealthily stole a few glances at Clark’s face to detect any change.
There was a change as she expected, Clark was not as unfeeling as he acted on the surface. The only problem was that the change was not exactly what she wanted, but she expected it though.
After hearing what she said, she noticed that Clark visibly shifted uncomfortably before trying to give her the needed distance that should be given to an engaged woman.
She noticed his facial expressions change subtlety though he tried but failed to hide it. First, his eyes became complicated, they showed slight regret and surprisingly reflected anxiousness a bit, this did not last though.
The previous emotions only lasted but a moment before Clark’s eyes became focused again, a visible gleam of determination shining from its depths.
This shattered the last hope in

Thud! A soft sound reverberated as Clark shut the door to his room after entering inside, but he didn’t move immediately. He leaned and rested his back on the door before closing his eyes. He took steady and rhythmic breaths as his chest heaved up and down, repeating this cycle in silence. His mind was not a complete total mess yet but it was in a disorderly state. It was slightly chaotic, worried, and concerned. Lots of thoughts battered his brain, making him feel more depressed. “Where are you, Sonia?” The more he thought of this, the more he felt like banging his head against a rock. He already spent millions secretly to fund a search team, but all these efforts were slowly proving to be ineffective. Even though so many years have gone by, not a single trace of Sonia has been seen. Was she really dead? Or was her father hiding her? Nothing seemed to make sense to him. Though he always thought of this daily, hearing that Emil
THE CONSPIRACY OF THE ELITES. CHAPTER 300: PAYING RESPECTS TO THE FALLEN BRETHREN.
Getting to the headquarters of the Spartan army again after years left Clark smiling nostalgically. To his surprise, he no longer felt as much awe and amazement that he felt on his first time coming here. Yes, the headquarters was still big and boisterous like a mechanically fortified city but it now just felt so-so to him. He knew exactly what caused this but he still let himself indulge in this feeling. After years of eventful missions and encounters, he already experienced so much that the Spartan army no longer seemed as iconic and indomitable as he felt before. Perhaps, this was because of his recent breakthrough in strength but he was pretty sure that his encounters influenced it too. How many 3rd rank high-grade soldiers could boast of not only entering the outer headquarters of the Seafarers alliance, entering a lost research base of the Aragan Empire, but most of all getting to meet an Elite Commander. If not for confidentiality reaso
THE CONSPIRACY OF THE ELITES. CHAPTER 301: MEETING THE PROFESSOR AGAIN.
As Clark drove away, a broad smile outlined his face. The past hour and thirty minutes were well spent to him, he had a chance to reunite with his old squad-mates and he also got the help that he wanted. He had to thank Captain Briggs for that. The fact that the captain didn’t tell them before now only made the sudden revelation that he was now a 3rd rank high-grade soldier more effective. Despite this fact, he was still surprised that every single one of them agreed to help him. He suspected that Captain Briggs did something behind his back, soldiers of their ranks were not so gullible. He sighed after deducing this, it seems that he already owed Captain Briggs a favor. Though this was done behind him, he still appreciated it. He loved results more than effort, that was his creed. Though seeing Warrant Officer Antonia’s grave dampened his mood a bit, he was able to recover pretty fast. Death was not a pleasant thing, but as ingrained in him d

“You know I’m a Captain now, right? Why can’t you give me some respect? I still had to pass through that shitty entry mechanism. Don’t let anyone deceive you, you’re a real pervert”. Ignoring the out-of-place question that the Professor asked on seeing him, Clark lashed out about the treatment that he had to pass through before getting here. Professor M.H smiled. “Just a 3rd rank high-grade soldier and you see yourself as a bigshot already. Who are you when even the Commander has to bend to my will in my domain?” “Wha, what? Even the Commander has to do that…, Uhm, that thing?” Clark stuttered, his face an expression of shock. “Kid, this is my Monkey feet workshop, not some dueling arena or a battleground. In here, I make the rules”. The Professor smiled brighter on seeing the shocked expression on Clark’s face. “Ok, let’s get to business. What brought you here?” Clark did not answer, instead, he turned his head to take a better look a
THE CONSPIRACY OF THE ELITES. CHAPTER 303: A VISIT TO THE DRAGON MILITARY DIVISION HEADQUARTERS.
Clark took public transport back to Vatican City. Since his parents’ death years ago, this was his first time entering a train. Because of a lot of coincidences that were induced by his special identity as a soldier, he hardly stays in the country. For the few times when he stayed, he always had other better modes of transportation. Casually activating his camouflage device before entering the train, he was able to make himself look like a gangster teenager, making the other passengers feel repulsed at his presence. In recent years, he hardly noticed it but he was now a celebrity. In Vatican City, he was practically the hero of every citizen. They looked up to him as a leader and as the one to give them comfort. He didn’t hate being treated and looked at like that, but experiencing repulse from people now became a new special experience to him. He basked in this feeling. By the time the train got filled with passengers and started moving, it w
THE CONSPIRACY OF THE ELITES. CHAPTER 304: THE DRAGON MILITARY DIVISION IS IN!
As Clark walked in the direction of the huge gate, he deactivated his camouflage device, bringing out his original look. He felt that it was strange how the road safety officials believed his identity so easily after seeing his badge. Heck! He was looking like a teenager then! It seemed that the Vatican citizens really held him with high esteem now, the road officials were so sure that no one had the guts to impersonate him. He only hoped that something like this would not be used to plan a scheme against the city in the future, it would be awful. Putting that aside, he looked on at the wide territory before him and the giant gate that announced the majesty of the military division. Standing proudly at the center of the huge gate was a giant emblem of the Dragon military division. It was of a red dragon soaring through the sky with red fire revolving between its extremely long and sharp spear-like teeth. Ironically, this was Clark’s fi
THE CONSPIRACY OF THE ELITES. CHAPTER 305: SETTING OUT.
“Arrange the tie to be a little tighter and to the right”. “Yes, ma”. The female fashion designer gave her apprentice instructions as they worked on Clark under Rose’s supervision. Though this was not her profession, as a trained assistant she knew a little about everything. The Spartan army did not spend so many years training her to be the assistant of a bigshot just to have skills that could be described as just so-so, she was the real deal. Clark who was under the expert hands of the 2 female designers was currently dressed in a black custom-made suit. After seeing him get custom-made weapons, Rose suggested that he start wearing custom-made clothes too to match his status as the sovereign of a city in the republic. In such a setting with a useful argument supporting her, Clark knew that he could not win any verbal argument so he just kept quiet and accepted. It may seem like Rose was imposing rules on him, but no. If they
THE CONSPIRACY OF THE ELITES. CHAPTER 306: FUNERAL.
Despite arriving at the Spartan army headquarters by over thirty minutes early, Clark and his clique were not the first to arrive. Hundreds of others already came before them. Clark was not too surprised by this though; he would have been even more surprised if he did not meet such a scenario. When he said honoring the dead was something that the Spartan republic placed great priority on, he was not lying. It was one of the most solemn creeds of the republic that had never been taken lightly. President Leonidas once said just after his coronation as President of the republic years ago that, a good leader is known by how much he protects his subordinates, but a great leader is known by that and also by how much respect he gives to his fallen subordinates. If they had the choice, no soldier wanted to die. That courage alone to remain fighting on despite the real chance of death was commendable, that’s why they must be honored after their death.

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.

“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

CHAPTER 465: IT FEELS NICE TO BE BACK.
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

CHAPTER 464: SONIA'S ADVENTURES.
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

CHAPTER 463: RE-UNION.
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.<

CHAPTER 462: WHERE IS THE PISTOL?
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
