Jane searched all round for Con but she couldn't find him.

It was three the next day now since he had suddenly disappeared and she had a lot of questions to ask him.

Like why would he disappear all of a sudden when she hadn't even taken him out to celebrate the victory they secured for themselves at the grand oak.

And why did he leave work without coming to see her or sign out for the day.

Despite the fact that Con hadn't really managed to get to Melissa, he had gotten to someone better than her and kinder too.

The hashtag Lana created for them was still trending, as popular as ever, and it was getting maximum engagement from almost all social media users who saw it.

The fact that Lana had also attached a clip of her husband slapping her made it all the more tragic.

Jane sighed and turned around in her bed to face the other side of the wall.

She didn't like this feeling she was getting. For some reason she felt scared.

Almost like something had happened to Con and she hadn't been ther

    Con woke up to the sound of rain pattering down on the house.He turned in the bed, fully aware that this wasn't his bed and that this wasn't Glover City.He had been half conscious when the men in the car had hefted him up and put him on a stretcher. Even when they had to carry him up the stairs, they did it with utmost care.So much so that he didn't really feel disturbed in his sleep.He slept peacefully.Con reached for his phone by the side of the table.The phone he picked up wasn't his but it had a picture of him on it.Con sighed as he put the phone down and looked around the room.With walls painted in dark shades of green and gold and the room tastefully furnished and looking like it had a whole bunch of technological fittings, Con could tell he wasn't in the room of just any family.This was probably the Olson family the guards had kept on going on and on about.Con released a dry chuckle and got up from the bed he was sleeping on. He grabbed the phone, scanned his surroun

  • THE GOD OF MERCENARY'S NEW LIFE.   Chapter 46: "Are you ready to leave, Mr. Easton?"

    The Olsen family resided in a state of the art mansion just outside Glover city.The compound spanned twenty acres and there was a lot of bare land as far as the eye could see. Though most cities were now highly populated and it was almost impossible to find any spare piece of land that wasn't occupied or getting set for construction, the Olson's seemed to have enough power to make sure that their lands stayed intact and they had this sweeping view of the forest.Con liked the fact that they liked the forest but he didn't like the fact that they were holding him captive.The lady in the room hadn't really explained much to him. She was still in there "getting ready" and she had asked Con to please go out onto the balcony.She didn't order him around and that seemed a good enough sign to him, so he didn't make any fuss about having to go to the balcony while she changed her clothes.It was an opportunity for him to scope the house out anyways and plan his escape.Under normal circums

    The wall scanned their hands before an AI announced with a loud voice."The Lady Miranda and the young master, Constantine."The small crowd below them broke out into soft applause and Con resisted the urge not to throw this lady down the stairs."Why didn't you tell me we were coming to a party?""Cos this isn't a party you nitwit. Now shut up and stop talking."Her semi silent rasps still managed to convey the annoyance in her voice and Con rolled his eyes at her statement too.This lady had brought him to a party while he was wearing nothing but shorts and a round neck shirt!What kind of person did that?Con ignored the anger and the annoyance that had flared up in him and took his time to look around.On their way here, his new ''wife'', had explained everything to him.Firstly she was now his wife and he was now the son in law of the Olsen family.Secondly she was the one who was going to do all the talking, all he had to do was stand there and look pretty.He mustn't act famili

    The strange party continued for a while before Con decided that he had seen enough.No one glanced their way and no one seemed to be taking note of the fact that the lady in his arms could barely breathe properly.He still had her propped up against him, his hand on the small of her back and his eyes darting to and fro as he looked for anyone that would get that freaking AC turned off.The irritant was getting to him too, and he didn't want to imagine what effect it would be having on Miranda.Con glanced down at her and pulled her more tightly into his arms. She didn't hesitate to lean in close and Con found that he was actually feeling protective towards this strange woman.She ignited a strange feeling in him. She felt familiar, in a way."I think you'll have to let me take you somewhere else."Con wasn't even done speaking when he felt her shake her head against his chest."Don't even think of it, we just have to endure this for a few more minutes and then we'll be out of here."

    Jake stormed into the hotel room with a gun in his hands.Gabe had a lady riding him and Clark had some girl sucking him off.Jeremy was nowhere to be found so Jake did the next best thing.He shot Clark in the leg.The shot rang out loud."You mad fuck!!!!"The lady who had been on her knees in between Clark's legs screamed and ran off to go hide behind Gabe's chair.Gabe's lady screamed and buried herself into his chest.Clark was holding his leg and cursing loudly as he looked at the new bullet wound on his leg and then at Jake, the one who was currently wielding a gun.Jake could tell that Gabe and Clark would make him pay for interrupting their good time but he didn't care."I thought you guys said we were friends!""I thought you said you would help me!!"Jake lowered his eyes as Gabe tapped the lady on his laps on the shoulder. She got off him and Jake felt something like shame and disgust flowing through him.He had indulged in the pleasures of the flesh like this once, and he

    "I can explain....."Con didn't wait to listen to what she had to say."Con please wait..."The way the raspy tone of her voice always made him feel sorry for her annoyed him now.She slapped him! They weren't even fully out of the hall yet and she slapped him!He didn't really know why it hurt him that much, but it did.He was getting sick of trying to help people only for them to stab him in the back. He had tried to help Adeline and she had sold him off to this strange family, and now he was trying to help Miranda of the raspy voice and even she wanted to get her fill of humiliating him."Con please wait. I had to do it. My grandmother would have killed you if I didn't."She could barely speak clearly now but Con could still hear all she was saying.He turned around to look at her and he scoffed."Matter of fact Miss Olsen, your grandmother can't do anything to me. I'd have sent her off to the great beyond before she even thinks of pulling out any of her guns."The lady in front o

    Con found that he really wasn't walking into a trap.Miranda didn't take him back to the room immediately.She took him out of the house first and after they walked around the grounds of the house a bit, she suggested they go get some lunch.Con suspected she was stalling so they didn't go back to the room and meet the trap she had ordered her men to set there for him.They could easily sedate him again with Sedative X or they could use the phyths on him.But for some reason Miranda Olsen wasn't doing that and Con had a feeling he knew why.She needed him.She really did need him.It didn't come as a shock and neither did it come as a surprise, but he wanted to know why and in what way.After lunch at some private restaurant that Con wasn't even allowed to see the name of because Miranda had her drivers drive them into the building directly, they had come back home and now it was eight in the evening and about time for some answers.Miranda had received a summons from her grandmother

  • THE GOD OF MERCENARY'S NEW LIFE.   Chapter 52: "Are you wondering why my brother's room is in a military base?"

    Miranda explained all the other things she had to as the night went on. From how she had gotten Con from Adeline to how Adeline had been all but eager to sacrifice him to save her company. It would seem Miss Highton simply looked innocent but deep inside she had the mind of a snake. Or maybe she had just been too frantic to protect Nurain permanently and so she had done the next best thing. She sold Con to the lady of the rich and powerful lady who had asked it of her. And not only had Miranda Olsen done her homework on who Con really was, she had also gone a step further to find out what linked Con to Adeline. It was remarkable work really, very impressive sleuthing and Con felt impressed at the fact that she had been able to uncover all she had. She knew he was the man once referred to as the God of Mercenary. She also knew a lot of things about the current happenings in the military world, including the fact that he was almost a legend now, a legend that was fast fading awa

    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

    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

    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
