THE GOD OF MERCENARY'S NEW LIFE.

Chapter 7: "Are you deaf and dumb?"

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 different from the bloody one he was formerly used to. He sort of liked it.

Patrolling the building felt like a walk in the park and Con enjoyed the activity. Soon it was high noon and it was time for his lunch break.

"Aren't you going to come get your lunch Con?"

Constantine rolled his eyes as he heard Finn's voice behind him. The man never let anyone under his division miss lunch.

"I'll be coming to get it now."

Finn only nodded at him and disappeared as he went round the corner of the building. Con followed him and soon he had his lunch pack in his hand. He settled under the shade of one of the trees at the back of the building and he was joined by a fellow guard.

They ate in silence and halfway through the small meal, their walkie talkies started ringing.

Con looked at the other soldier and found he was also looking at him.

They both picked up their receivers and the same message rang out at the same time.

"All available guards are to report to the main entrance, i repeat report to the main entrance, the CEO is in danger!. All available guards report to the main entrance now, I repeat, report to the main entrance now!"

Con looked over at the other guard. He had gone back to consuming his lunch like he hadn't just heard that message.

"Aren't you going to heed to the directions of the order we were given just now?"

The guard simply shook his head and took a bite of his sandwich.

'"We have more than fifty guards stationed all around this building, I'm sure more than half of them are attending to her right now. We wouldn't be of any use if we went there."

Con simply ignored the guard's words as he stood up. Guess it was time for him to start fulfilling his promise.

The CEO and founder of Nurain Fashion corporation was none other than the stunningly beautiful Miss Adeline Firoan, a well endowed woman with the face of a goddess and the body of a vixen. She was smart, industrious, well grounded and a business monster. She was also the sister of someone he had lost on the battlefield.

Someone who he had made a promise to in regards to protecting his little sister.

Mark had begged him to protect her. He had made Con promise that to him as he breathed his last breath. 

Con was a man that kept his promises.

She was the reason he had come to Glover city, he could have decided to do anything else with his life. He could have chosen to make the generals that had blamed him and disgraced him for what happened at the battlefield pay for how they stripped him of his position, he could have made them eat their words.

But he came here instead to fulfill his promise first before he did any of that. He wasn't even sure he would do much of that revenge stuff anymore, he liked living this life of a nobody, someone so low down the food chain that they were barely noticed or seen as a threat.

He would continue living like this if life allowed him.

Con walked with determination in his heart as he thought and soon he was at the gate. He could see all wasn't well.

A small crowd had gathered there already and they seemed to be watching the two small groups that now faced off against each other.

The people in the crowd parted for Constantine as he walked through, none of them knew why he was giving off such a serious and foreboding aura at that moment.

Con got to the front of the crowd to see that Adeline hadn't been hurt.

He was relieved to see that. 

She wasn't alone too, she was surrounded by most of her day to day staff. The chief executive of fashion designers in Nurain and most of the fashion designers stood with her, all the essential staff and even John.  He and Jane stood at the helm of the group and glared at the other group. 

Con moved his eyes to them to see what they were up against.

The face of the man he saw tickled his memory a little but he couldn't place where he had seen him.

The man had silver blonde hair and an arrogant expression on his face, like what he was seeing at the moment annoyed him and he couldn't wait to get rid of it.

He was leaning against the door of his red luxury car in a deep ash suit and his eyes were specifically on the CEO of the company whose entrance he had parked his car.

"I want to buy Nurain."

The arrogance in his voice could literally be heard in every word he said, and much more than arrogance, there was hate and spite and conceit too.

"Who is he?"

The guard beside him didn't get the chance to answer before the silver haired man spoke again.

"My final asking price is twenty million dollars."

Con felt annoyance rush through him.

What?
