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
THE GOD OF MERCENARY'S NEW LIFE. Chapter 27: "I'll be down in a minute. Get ready to do some hard work!"
Jane let Con get off work early after the fitting.Con hadn't known that the female HR manager had actually arranged a suit fitting for him. He could have acted offended and accused Jane of thinking he was so poor that he didn't have a proper suit, but that would have been silly of him because he really didn't have a proper suit. He was piss poor, and he hadn't needed one up until this moment. Plus he knew that Jane just wanted him to look his best to the party, hence the fitting.Con walked home and ignored the car following him.He knew it would be Xavier's car but he wasn't ready to see him yet. He hadn't figured out a good enough punishment for the man. When he did, then maybe he would look Xavier's way, if only to deliver his punishment.To be honest Con wasn't really mad at him, at least not at the fact that Xavier had somehow found him after he had told the other man that he didn't want to be found. Con was actually happy to see that Xavier was doing well for himself.He lo
THE GOD OF MERCENARY'S NEW LIFE. Chapter 28: "You look precious tonight. Like an emerald."
Turns out Aubrey hadn't been joking when she said hard work, and sadly for Con she hadn't meant it the way he had hoped she meant it either. The sound of cars and life drifted into Con's ears as the car drove into the parking lot of the Grand Oak hotel. Xavier was proving useful already. After his special class with Aubrey, Con had walked down the street and stopped at the black car a kilometer away. He gave a simple order. "Get me my suit." Xavier had returned with about twenty and each and every one of them looked like they would fit Con perfectly. He now had twenty high end tuxedos in his room and he didn't know what to do with them, Xavier was desperate for forgiveness, and he would get it at the right time. He had probably come with own issue, another issue that Con would need to solve. Con wasn't ready for that at the moment. He already had some he was trying to attend to. The car stopped and Xavier's face turned to meet his. Con smiled and nodded so Xavier would stop b
THE GOD OF MERCENARY'S NEW LIFE. Chapter 29: "Feeling nervous Mr Easton?"
Soft music poured out of hidden speakers, and waiters milled around catering to the needs of the populace. The clinking of champagne flutes and the chatter of high end aristocrats poured into Con's ears and he groaned at the fact that he could hear everything so loudly.This party wasn't turning out the way he expected.Jane hadn't really filled him in on the details of the party and he hadn't really bothered to ask.That had been a mistake.This wasn't a party at all. It was a gathering of politicians and all the other people who knew those politicians. In essence, this hall was full of rich and greedy people who wouldn't stop looking at him and asking who his father was.Con tipped his champagne flute to his lips again and took a small sip.He didn't like the taste. Everything tasted sour tonight.Most of the women here looked at him like they would rather be somewhere else with him, and with how bored he was getting, Con felt he might just take one of them up on the offer.This p
THE GOD OF MERCENARY'S NEW LIFE. Chapter 30: "Now Jake, who is that man dancing with your wife?"
In a room up in the Grand Oak hotel.Three men sat gathered around a table.Two had their phones in hand and they were lazily scrolling through, while the third had his eyes on someone else. Someone who had just offended them and who now owed them a lot of money."Do you know what your problem is Jake?"Jake knelt properly on the floor once more and corrected his slouching posture. He didn't give an answer to the question he had been asked though he heard it."That wasn't a rhetorical question. Do you know what your biggest problem is?"Jake gulped down the shame that lined the back of his throat. The voice that had spoken just now was dripping with disgust and scorn.Jake looked up to see one of the men who had been on their phone earlier now looking at him with irritation in his eyes.He couldn't get angry at these people. Even his family name wouldn't be able to save him if he did.The man sitting on the left nodded to someone and Jake felt a splitting pain ripple across his skull
THE GOD OF MERCENARY'S NEW LIFE. Chapter 31: "You're not Melissa Hollow, are you?"
"You're not Melissa Hollow, are you?"Con watched as the lady in his arms did an effortless twirl and turned back to face him with a smirk on her face."Did I ever say I was?"The lady's voice sounded smooth in Con's ears and despite the fact that she was practically an imposter and not the person he was supposed to be dancing with at the moment, she still exudes this effortless charm that didn't make him as annoyed as he should have been.He had just spent the past fifty minutes socializing with a woman that wasn't Melissa Hollow!And it seemed this lady had also been content enough with misleading him.She had even asked him to dance with her, twirling a strand of her ebony colored hair in her fingers and batting her eyes at him while at it.He thought he had been making actual progress with Melissa, but then Jane had appeared in his field of vision, in the arms of another man, and she had mouthed the words "She's not Melissa" to him.That was actually a few seconds ago.The lady wh
THE GOD OF MERCENARY'S NEW LIFE. Chapter 32: "Is it polite where you come from to dance with another man's wife?"
For the next five minutes of his life, Con watched a beautiful woman cry.She lay her head on his chest as they continued with the slow dance. Whoever was in charge of music had been timely enough to play some soft music.There was no particular need to hasten up their pace and her head on his chest suited the mood the music invoked.Lana's sobs were drowned out by the murmur of people and the clinking of glasses. The whole hall was in a buzz and Con could barely hear himself think. He had lost track of Jane too.He could see some of the young men and women pairing up. Flirting was at its highest and hands were already touching sensitive spots. Most of the women here just full on threw themselves at the men that approached them.They screamed the words "gold digger" to him.The lady in his arms didn't and quite honestly, Con didn't have any gold for her to dig.The thing that unnerved him the most was the way he and this lady looked like a couple. He could see their reflection whene

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

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
