THE GOD OF MERCENARY'S NEW LIFE. Chapter 19: "Well someone's early to work."
Con scanned his surroundings for signs of whoever might be following him and taking pictures of him.It was just six thirty in the morning for crying out loud. What the hell was someone doing taking pictures of someone else at six thirty in the morning?Whoever was doing this probably had a death wish, or maybe they were some kind of pervert.Con looked around again and saw some of the people who had been looking at him avert their eyes. They were just normal people who were coming out to open their stores and get work started for the day.They would look at anybody that passed by, so they really didn't count. The main person he was looking for was nowhere to be found.In fact there was no one with a camera on them as far as his eyes could see.So why did he always keep on hearing that clicking sound then?Con turned and continued on his way to work. He would catch this person, whoever it was, and he would scare them off so they could desist with the constant picture taking.Having p
THE GOD OF MERCENARY'S NEW LIFE. Chapter 20: "I can't let you do that. No one-night stands."
Melissa Hollow was one of the biggest names in fashion. She was a beautiful young lady of northern descent and with her father as a major supplier of almost all essential raw materials needed to create anything really noteworthy in the fashion industry, some could say that her family basically ran the business.Of course her influence was most strong in Glover City.But it wasn't really her influence Jane wanted them to rely on.It was the influence of the almost one million women that followed her on social media, among which many of them were also influential women in their various fields of expertise.It should be easy getting a woman to do something for her fellow woman right? Jane replied in the negative when Con asked her. In this case and due to the sort of person they were dealing with, it would be extremely hard.To begin with Melissa was a very snobbish person. She would never take notice of you or help you if she wasn't getting something in return, and in this case Nurai
THE GOD OF MERCENARY'S NEW LIFE. Chapter 21: "How are you sure you're not going to kill someone?"
Three more bullets had been shot at the building before Con could convince the male HR manager to hand him a gun.John looked at him warily before handing him the gun."How are you sure you're not going to kill someone?"Con repressed a sigh and ran his hand through his hair instead."I know what I can do with a gun, I also know what type of weapon is being used to fire those shots and trust me when I say whoever is shooting at the building isn't joking. They're going to seriously hurt someone if we do not take action."The male HR manager still didn't seem convinced and Con didn't really blame him to be honest.Handing over a gun to a security guard was against the rules. Con was a low rank security guard too and to the best of John's knowledge he probably had no training, a short temper, and he was always goofing around.Even he wouldn't hand a gun over so hastily to someone that behaved the way he did. But there were a lot of things that the HR manager didn't know about him and th
THE GOD OF MERCENARY'S NEW LIFE. Chapter 22: "Are you ready for the show daddy?"
Jake walked over to his ringing phone and picked it up.He had a call and the name Dadris was flashing repeatedly on his phone. Jake sighed and took the cigarette he had in his mouth out.The heady feeling he had been basking in a mere moment ago was gone now and he felt annoyed.Couldn't he take one day off to enjoy himself? He had given them a simple task, even allocated a huge amount of money to make sure they did the job well. So what was so hard in shooting at a building that he still had to receive a call?Jake pressed the button to answer the call and put it on loudspeaker."Bosss, isss that you?"Dadris was still suffering from the effects of his cracked jaw. He now had this silly lilt to the way he spoke, dragging out the ssss with a lot of spittle in his mouth."Give the phone to someone who can speak well. I'm not in the mood to be annoyed."Jake felt a shiver run down his spine as his secretary took his hand and led him over to the bed. He had just come out of the showers
THE GOD OF MERCENARY'S NEW LIFE. Chapter 23: "Who gave you permission to dress like that?"
Lana Caswell was the wife of Jake Caswell.She was known for her good looks and top notch skill as an actress. She had starred in many movies both in Glover City and a number of international blockbusters, and she had married Jake out of obedience to her parent's wishesLana had grown up in Glover city herself and so had her parents. They were grimly determined to make sure that she had a say in the affairs of the city, and since the mayor's son was already married, they arranged a meeting for her and Jake, and subsequently they had arranged their marriage too.Jake had treated her like she was the world at first and for a moment Lana had actually thought that she would come to love him and build a family with him, but she knew better now and it hurt her that she did.It really hurt her.Lana looked around at the house. Her house.This was the house her parents had gifted her and Jake after their marriage. It would have gone to her brother, if he was still a part of the family and on
THE GOD OF MERCENARY'S NEW LIFE. Chapter 24: What was this goof doing here?
Con handed the rifle back to John and nodded at the HR manager. The man had a concerned look on his face.Some things just weren't making sense about this particular guard. A lot of things weren't making sense but he couldn't really point out what.John knew the day Con had been hired. He was the one who had hired Con himself. He had conducted an interview for him and the background info Con had given about himself wasn't anything out of the ordinary.His name was Constantine Easton. He was single and both his parents were deceased. He had some experience in the military and he was now living in the city. He wanted to become a security guard at Nurain.John had found that military experience a noteworthy enough subject to probe and he had inquired further about that from him, but the young man had only said it was nothing really, that he just helped his uncle who was in the military from time to time and that he also trained with them.John wouldn't have hired Con if not for the fact
THE GOD OF MERCENARY'S NEW LIFE. Chapter 25: "How do you know that man?'
Xavier couldn't believe his eyes. He had found his boss. The smile on his face was a weird one. It was one that was mixed with fear and happiness, and he felt like crying. This was his boss! The legendary God of Mercenary. Leader of the Teutonic knights. His boss was right here before his very eyes, and he was in a guard's uniform? Con on the other hand felt like spitting blood. To begin with, how had Xavier found him? He was using an old fashioned telephone and an article he had read once said signals from such phones were much harder to trace. And there was also the question of why had Xavier come to find him too? If it was anyone else, Con would have felt anger rushing through him at the fact that his orders had been disobeyed, but he never got angry at his men because they never disobeyed his orders. Their relationship was simple like that. For Xavier to be here, something had to have happened, or something was about to happen. Adeline and Jane passed inquisitive look
THE GOD OF MERCENARY'S NEW LIFE. Chapter 26: "Good luck tonight Mr Easton."
Con didn't tell Adeline anything more than he had already told and she didn't pull the trigger on him.He had seen her hands shaking slightly and he had heard her heart pounding in her chest. He could see tears shining in her bright brown eyes and he could see how much she was trying to hold herself together.He knew she had made a connection.Xavier and Mark had been good friends. There was every possibility that Mark had mentioned the silver haired man and there was every possibility that he hadn't.Con would have liked to believe he hadn't, if not for the question Adeline had asked him after she pointed the gun directly at his head.Adeline Highton wasn't foolish. Con knew a man that would have liked to think she was. His father would have thought she was foolish. Something about Adeline pointing a gun to his head made Con think of his mother, and of home.Not home but rather the house he spent a few years of his life in.His crew had been his home. They would always be his home

Chapter 171: The end.
Xavier stared at the files in his hands and tried not to get too scared by them. There was information on them, more information than he would have felt comfortable ever knowing but he could see what Con was so scared of now. He might even be sure that he had managed to see the things Con had not. To begin with, this world was not what they thought it was.At least it was not all they thought it was. It was much more than they imagined and the fact that Con had somehow managed to stumble on this clearly meant the cosmos was seeking their help, or rather Con's help. Somehow somewhere there was someone or something pushing Con towards making these decisions and he could feel it now. He was sure if he told Jane and Aubrey that they would plan to eat him up alive. Both him and that thing he felt was guiding Con into making the decisions he was making. Their world was under threat, and he would be damned if he just sat back and watched it all crumble.Xavier reached for his phone and tap
Chapter 170: "That's enough."
Con watched the hackers he had hired work and he came to the conclusion that he had undoubtedly made a very huge mistake.There was little he could do in terms of making them more coperative and oddly he got the feeling that they wanted to make him frustrated. One of them full on refused to listen to his commands and Con felt the urge to give the man a sound slap at the back of his mind. He had to resist it because the others were already working and from what he could see, they were doing what he wanted them to do. That was enough for him, but what he truly wanted was their total cooperation.From the way they had abandoned their jobs to go chase after money, he knew that he couldn't use them for any of the jobs he would have wished to. Since they had the basic knowledge he would need in the people he wanted to recruit, it would have been better if they had behaved and not messed up that way. It was not like he was that desperate that he would hire them despite whatever they did, but
Chapter 169.
Jake looked out his window and tried to assess his surroundings. He could tell people were trying to hack into the cyber security of the the hotel. The alarms had gone off the moment the breach was noticed and he had spent the past one hour trying to calm himself down and not fly into a rage. The fact that whoever this was thought he could mess with him and get away with it felt funny to him.The only problem right now was the issue of intention. The hackers seemed to be aiming for the security controls to switch them off. That was what they had been trying to do in the first place and he felt they might have done it sucesfully if they hadn't diverted to start hacking away at money. If they were petty thieves then he would make them pay. He would make them pay badly for having him all worked up for nothing, but if they posed a greater problem than than that then he would have to solve that problem, probably with the aid of some thugs and torture. He just bought this hotel. It was on
Chapter 168: "I'm going up to my room."
Xavier watched as Lisa and Clay kept their eyes on him like he was performing some kind of magic trick just sitting down there and doing nothing. He could already tell that it would be a long time before they left him alone and honestly, now he was up to the challenge. There was no way he was going to let them keep him in when he already had something he wanted to do.Lisa could be dealt with. He could persuade her with treats and make her feel he should be let loose to do what he wanted because he was her father and even he would have to admit that he let her loose to do what she wanted too sometimes.Lisa would let him do what he wanted to do because he also let her do what she wanted to do at times. It was an agreement they had both reached and he was sure she would honor her part of their agreement. The one was really worried about was Clay. The fact that the younger male just stood there watching him gave Xavier a funny feeling in his stomach. He and Lisa should have done off t
Chapter 167.
Con could swear that he had thought there was a chance of Xavier calling him on the phone and offering his help.He had been expecting that for a day plus now but yet nothing had happened and he was getting skeptical. Was he wrong to expect that his comrade in arms would come to him at this moment? And was he sure that he could pull off this operation with Xavier?Con stared at the building in front of him and turned to look at the others in the car. Two of the maids had revealed themselves to be hackers specially trained by the Black family. It seemed his uncle had also believed that one day he would need the help of such people so he had gathered them, from all walks of life, which to him probably meant the prisons. The man was a cheapskate. He couldn't hire professsionals who would get his job done for him, so instead he went to the prisons and got men and women who had been arrested and convicted of various internet crimes .He had bailed them out, paid the men behind the desk eno
Chapter 166.
Lisa stared at her father and tried to assess the level of damage she had done.She had one hand over her mouth and the other helping her prop that arm up.'"When the heck did my father become ebony haired?""Language Lisa.Lisa rolled her eyes and walked over to go stand near Clay."We did this didn't we?"Clay couldn't help the chuckle that escaped his throat. Somehow he had imagined that Lisa would have more information than he would on what was happening to her father. She had asked him to promise that they would both take the fall for whatever happened and when this happened, he suspected she knew about it. No just knew about it but expected it. He would not have been surprised if Lisa expected this to happen, but it seems she had not. She was just as surprised as he was, or she was now a great actress and she was faking all this, but he could tell there was no talent for acting in Lisa so he was sure it was the first one.Lisa was shocked, the same way he had been and it was fu
Chapter 165: "Is it really hurting that much?"
"What exactly did Lisa put in to make your hair this color?"Xavier could see Jane was getting distracted already. Her eyes were gleaming as she fingered his lock of hair and he could already see the longing in her.Jane wanted to cut his hair and take it in to be studied. He could proudly say that he had taught Jane as much as he could in the art of detectiving in a science lab. He had taught her how to determine how long a piece of fabric would retain its color if dyed, what mixture of dyes to use and what colors seemed to have an affinity for each other. In part he was a fundamental aspect to the success of Jane's clothing brand and he had felt a bit disappointed when she had abandoned their lab meetings to focus on leading her company, but now he could see that the spark wasn't totally dead yet.She looked at his hair with a clinical eye, from a scientific point of view. Lisa was asleep and he had asked Clay to leave her so she could take the rest she needed. Lisa rarely slept
Chapter 164: "What's all the staring for?"
Clay left Lisa in the room and descended to the lab beneath her to check for himself how her father was doing. Maybe it was because he had been there when the man collapsed or maybe because he had been just as scared when it had all happened, but he had a deep feeling of worry for Mr Frost. There wasn't much for him to do concerning the cure Lisa had administered to her father. She seemed sure of it and it seemed the cure had worked the way she said it would.The ice core had been repaired. By a bunch of black petals. It still surprised him as to how that happened but as long as Lisa's father was out of the danger zone then he would be happy. They were in enough confusion as things stood already and more confusion was not something he wanted for any of them. What he wanted at the moment was to confirm that Lisa's father was okay, and if he was then maybe he could ask if they could run a brain scan on Lisa. She had lapsed off into thought again and it was making him feel a bit scared.
Chapter 163.
Lisa could feel her heart slam into her chest the moment she heard the question. Her face turned red and she looked away, not because she was ashamed but because she was embarrassed."How the hell can you pop that kind of question on me so casually? Do I look like I have someone on my mind?""You look like you've been hella distracted and when girls are at your age they tend to think of boys twenty four seven. Can you see the reason for my curiosity now?"Lisa rolled her eyes and noticed how close she and Clay were. Closeness between the both of them had never bothered her, Clay was like a brother to her and she was like a sister to him, but he had grown these past few months and she wouldn't say she had failed to notice the changes in herself too. They had both grown a lot and somehow this kind of closeness made her extra aware of that.Everything around them was changing. Not just the climate or global warming, but mostly a lot of the other things, the more important things, the peo
