2024-10-29 19:42:56Con could see that Aubrey was enraged.
For one her face had turned red and her nostrils were flaring. She was trying to rein her anger in but it wasn't working.
It seemed these two had an issue to sort out and it would be normal for a tenant to want to be out of the way in a situation like this, but Constantine didn't trust this John guy. He looked like the sort of person that would do something foolish because he thought he was entitled enough to do it. The bodyguards he had behind him too didn't make matters any easier.
"I need the boy back Aubrey."
"That wasn't what we agreed on John. That was not what we agreed on."
Aubrey could hear the pain in her own voice. There was anger there too. She let herself bask in that anger and find strength from it. Oddly the presence of someone else also made her feel a level of reassurance.
When she and John had divorced, they had signed a legally binding contract stating that she would be responsible for the care and raising of their son. John never loved her. He only got married to her because of her looks and due to the wishes of his parents. They wanted to show the world that the rich Lambert family could get married to someone from the lower class.
Aubrey had intentionally asked for full custody of her son. The life John and his family led was one that would destroy them at the end. They lied, stole, pretended. and they still had the guts to feel they were the most righteous people on the planet.
John himself was a womanizer and a drunk, but to the society he was the diligent and dashing heir of the Lambert family. He couldn't take care of himself talk less of their child. John was no better than a child himself!
John only looked at the expressions that flashed across Aubrey's face with disinterest. He didn't care what she said or what she would say. He would get the boy back.
He raised his hand up.
"I'm not here to argue or listen to your excuses. I'm here to tell you i need my son back."
Aubrey only scoffed.
"In what world do you think i'll hand my child over to you? This one?"
Aubrey only released a low laugh at that. She smiled and she fixed her gaze on John.
"Can i remind you of something?"
"You.. you were the same person that called that son a wimp, a boy who looked too much like his mother to be yours. You called my son a bastard and accused me of having him with my own brother!. You were the one that said all those things. I can bring out the gossip sites that say the same thing. Should i John? Should i?"
Con could hear the pain in his landlady's voice. He could tell that she had been repressing all these emotions. Aubrey was always calm and composed, a sweet smile on her face at all times and her voice as sweet as a summer morning.
Constantine felt like giving someone a slap.
The fact that she looked so furious made him furious.
Did this John person feel like dying?
Almost like John could feel the killing intent radiating off someone, a chill crept up his spine. A chill that made goosebumps pop out all over his body. He looked at the other person who still stood by his wife's side.
A common bodyguard.
She was having an affair with a bodyguard. The clear words that spelt out "security" on the other man's uniform made him feel disgusted.
A lowlife. Aubrey was having an affair with a lowlife.
He scoffed.
"As i said earlier, i am not here to argue with you. Get angry if you want to. I don't care. I need the boy back."
"I am not handing my son over to you. Over my dead body."
Con gave a small nod in agreement to that.
Over her foolish ex husband's dead body. He wouldn't be around and watch Aubrey die. Of course not.
If John made any stupid moves, he just might not live to regret it.
John could feel his temper flaring.
"I will have that boy back. I am his father!"
"You hardly act like it!. I mean listen to yourself John, referring to your own son as that boy! I am never going to even let you set eyes on him, not ever again. You can turn the whole city upside down if you want. You can turn the whole country upside down, search and search but i can assure you that you will never find my son."
Never! Not while she was alive.
Aubrey felt righteous fury within her. John had cheated on her, accused her of incest, let him and his godforsaken family treat her and her son the way they wanted. Only John's grandfather had a fondness for their son, she was sure as hell that was the reason why he was here
Aubrey swallowed the tears that threatened to fall out of her eyes. She returned the glare her husband gave her.
John lost it at the sight of the defiance in her eyes.
In a split second he had raised his hand up and he made to hit Aubrey.
Did she think she could talk back at him because of the fool she had by her side? He had six body guards with him! He would beat her into submission! His men could deal with the trash she had for a lover.
John could see his hand coming down towards Aubrey's face. But when it hit, it didn't make any sound.
His hand didn't even come in contact with anything at all.
He realised someone had captured that hand, someone had an iron like grip on it.
John could feel his wrist being pressed in. The blood flow was being cut off from his hand and his hand felt like it would burst.
A scream rent the silence that had settled in the air.

Constantine radiated an intense killing intent. His mouth had curved up into a sinister smile.Who the hell did this fool think he was?Constantine ignored the screams Aubrey's ex husband was letting out. He only tightened his grip on the hand he had captured.He would make sure that John wouldn't use his hand again.Con felt someone touching him softly and he turned to catch the panic in Aubrey's eyes. She didn't want him to hurt her dumb ex husband too much. Constantine let out a resigned sigh and threw John back.No one expected him to go flying into the wall!John hit the wall with a thud and he felt his spine let out a sound.What the hell!He raised his head to look at the insolent son of a bitch that had caught his hand and almost broken it. The look Constantine returned made him feel that chill go up his spine again.John looked to his body guards."Is it until he kills me that you'll do something. Attack him you fools!"Constantine only smiled as the six men approached him.
THE GOD OF MERCENARY'S NEW LIFE. Chapter 5: Oops the beauty throws herself on me
Constantine got to his place of work and released a sigh.Ever since his dismissal and subsequent departure from his mercenary crew, he had started working here. The main reason he had come to this town was because of a promise he had made to someone, a promise he intended to keep, so he worked here, as a security guard.Nurain Fashion corporation was one of the fastest rising and leading names in the fashion industry. of Glover city. They dealt in luxury pieces of fashion and jewelry. Each and every dress was pricey and worth the extravagant price. Some top female politicians chose Nurain as the go to brand for anything shopping and fashion related.The company had a value asset of over thirty billion dollars, and although that would seem like a very impressive and powerful status for any company to have achieved, in Glover city, it really wasn't much.The bustling metropolis that was Glover city had a lot of companies with impressive repertoires.Nurain was just one of those compan

Con watched as Jane flushed at his words and tried to keep a blush from spreading to her cheeks. He also watched her fail and chuckled as she blushed furiously.Jane didn't know if to count herself lucky or simply die from the level of embarrasment she was feeling at the moment.She was laying on the body of the man she had been harboring a crush on. And at work no less.Jane stood up as quickly as she could, getting off Constantine like he was a platter of hot coals and she would get burnt if she lay on him too much.Con only grinned slightly as she stood up.Jane was a good person, of course he wouldn't let her fall down when he knew he could do something to prevent it.A manager of Nurain falling down in front of mere guards didn't feel like something that was supposed to happen, and apart from that, Jane always dressed daringly.Her outfits usually had a pattern to them, the same pattern that almost every working lady seemed to use when they were dressing up for work, just that Ja

After all the guards had been assigned their duties, they disbanded from the main hall of the ground floor and went to attend to their various tasks.For Con that task was patrolling the perimeter of the Nurain building. It was one of his favorite things to do.Nurain's headquarters building was a fairly massive one. All of the company's new products would be displayed here first before they made their appearances at the company's smaller retail stores. Con always had a lot to look at whenever he was on patrol.Since this fashion company mostly focused on female wear and especially beautiful females, they were quite known now in Glover city. There were always a lot of patrons around and Constantine always enjoyed watching the beauties as they shopped and had a nice time making themselves beautiful.He was a shameless man, so he really didn't have any qualms with loving beautiful ladies so much, anyone who judged him for it could as well choke on their judgment.This life was very diff

Adeline had gone red in the face.Nurain was a company that had a more than thirty billion dollar total value asset. It was one of the leading names in fashion and one of the fastest rising companies in the metropolitan area that was Glover city.Nurain had a lot of potential, it would one day be one of the most known fashion brands in the world and it was just a matter of time before they went international.And yet here someone was publicly offering her twenty million dollars for her company. Twenty measly million dollars?Constantine wanted to know who this man was. He knew he had seen the face somewhere before, maybe on a poster or simply on the street one day. Con had photographic memory so if his mind was telling him he had seen this guy before, then he definitely had, he just had to think well and pinpoint where.Con closed his eyes and let his mind do the rest of the work. The memory came back to him in a second.He had seen this guy in a bar. His name was Jake Caswell, the
THE GOD OF MERCENARY'S NEW LIFE. Chapter 9: Giving Mr Caswell something to think about.
Everyone present knew who Jake Caswell was.Almost everyone in Glover city had heard of the Caswell family. They had a blood relation to the current mayor of the city and they were not a family to be taken lightly. They were seen as an elite family, with connections all over the globe and in all places.They didn't rule Glover city by any means, but they could do some things and no one would stop them.That was the reason why Adeline had felt a bit scared when Jake had told her she had no one backing her up before. That was true.She didn't have anyone backing her and she didn't have anyone looking out for her. She only had herself and her workers. Her brother was no more and neither was any other member of her family.Her brother had given her all their parents left for them and had gone off to join a mercenary group. The news of his death had been brought to her barely half a year ago and she was still trying to cope with that loss. This company and its employees had stuck with her

Jake and his men rushed their fallen comrade to the hospital. The small crowd was dispersed and Adeline was currently pacing the length of her office.That guard!Why did he have to do that?Of all the things for him to do he had to injure one of Jake's men so heavily.Constantine simply watched her as she paced back and forth. It seemed she had forgotten that he was even in the room, or that she had summoned him here almost immediately after Jake Caswell and his men left.Con wasn't complaining though.Adeline Firoan was a stunning woman to watch. She moved like liquid silk, exuding her femininity with each and every step she took and making him more and more entranced with every sway of her hips as she continued pacing.Adeline suddenly felt someone's hot gaze on her, like the rays of a scorching sun. She looked to see the guard staring at her boldly, without any shame or remorse at the sort of look he had in his eyes.What a shameless man.'"Hey didn't anyone tell you it's rude
THE GOD OF MERCENARY'S NEW LIFE. Chapter 11: "What do i need to do to stop him?"
Con didn't feel like himself for the rest of the day at work. Almost everyone noticed but they decided not to say anything to him about it. What he had done was brave and foolish at the same time, but it was also extremely cocky. Not at all the sort of thing that a security guard would do, especially when he was so low ranked. Con had proven his value though so everyone just stood back and let him sulk. They had all watched him break a man's jaw with a punch, and they had seen the people that had come to threaten their boss flee and rush their goon to the hospital. They had also seen the boss invite Constantine into her office so there was every possibility that he had gotten reprimanded for what he had done. That was probably why he was so gloomy. Con sighed and sat down under the tree he had been eating lunch earlier. He had a slight frown on his face and he looked deep in thought. What Adeline had said was true. He had just put everyone here at Nurain in danger. Jake Caswell

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

"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.

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.

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
