The Almighty General 48
Toby's POVI'm sitting in the SUV and Dallas is sitting right next to me staring at the screen, he's chewing gum, I can smell the minty flavour. I hate mint. I turn away from him and face the screen, I can barely see a thing. It's raining heavily and we're at the location of the drop off.“You think the kidnapper would provide Hans alive?." He asks me.“I guess so." I reply still trying to make out the figure of Max carrying a big bag filled with money.“Seventy million... Rich assholes, you know what I'd do with that money?." He asks.“No, what would you do?." I ask him.“I don't know." He says chewing the gum noisily. “Hey, I can not see a thing. I'm going down there to check it out." He tells me taking the ear phones off.“You're not supposed to." I remind him.“How are we gonna catch the criminal if we don't go out and check it out?. " He pulls open the door of the SUV and he jumps down, mud splash from under his foot, the soil is damp from the rain. I watch as he u
The Almighty General 49
It's been two weeks since me and Dallas went in the van to pick up Hans's body and capture the kidnapper. I'm still in bed, I look at the clock, it's 6:57.I hear the door bell ring. I get up from the bed and I walk to the door, I hear knocking on the door. I don't need to check the peep hole to know that it's Amarà that is knocking on my door. I know it's her because she's the only one that thinks to knock at my door at early hours of the day.“It's not even full day break yet." I tell her. She walks past me into the sitting room.“Tell me everything." She says sitting on the couch. She drops her purse on the table, surprisingly she's not holding a cup of coffee. “I told everything already." I said to her. “It doesn't explain why Max had some how found a way to claim everything... Everything Toby. Everything the Ronalds ever owned. Everything Hans worked hard for, his companies…everything." she says. She's as frustrated as i was two weeks ago.“Do you really be
The Almighty General 49
Lexi's POV I hear the churning of something.... Like a spacecraft. I stand up, although I tried…but I couldn't, because my hands and my legs were fastened to something soft, a bed. I look around, assessing my surroundings, I was placed in a crater, like the cot of a new born but this was much more bigger and there was a bubble like shield covering me from the outside or were they trying to protect themselves from me. I knew that I was abducted by the people of Tar. I still remember standing in my room and hearing the explosions, I heard footsteps in the hall way and I was about to go under my bed to hide when my door opened and there was nobody there... The invisible bodies... I thought to myself. I heard when Hans was discussing about them, you can't see them but they can see you and they're terribly looking. I was still there stocked and frozen by fear when I felt something lift me up from the ground and ran out of the castle with me screaming on its shoulder
The Almighty General soldiers, not today
Jax's POV The words leave King Cypher's mouth and the Moment the meaning rests on my chest like heavy metal, I look up at him. His eyes were dark with rage and wickedness... When I look at him, what I saw was a greedy man that I had served my heart to, a man that I had given a lot of things for, a man that I had relentlessly done his biddings and now when I am here in desperate need to help the only surviving family that I got, he's quick to tell me that I shouldn't do it.“The what would happen?." I asked him dropping my sword on the table that stood beside me. I was suddenly aware of everything, I was aware of every cell in my body. “What happens...." He said repeating my question as if he is asking someone else for answers. “Troy isn't here to advise you because he's dead, he's dead because you killed him... Now answer me if I do not go to fetch my sister what happens, who will.. someone has to. Don't think that I'd let my sister just die or perish in the hands of the
The Almighty General Red sea
Jax's POV I lay on my bed, waiting till dawn breaks. It's been a month and one week since my sister had been captured by the soldiers of Tar. Immediately I see the first streak of sunlight, I stand up. I wear my clothes and I hurry to the market. I had an appointment with a store owner, I enter into the store. The owner of the store is waiting for me, he's short and he's stocky. He's chewing on something, maybe gum.“You're here early." He says trying to make conversation.“Well you said you'd be out early." I tell him and he shurgs.“Here." He said handing me the container. I stare at it and I put it into my pocket. I pay him for the item.“One drop of that would paint a sea red..." The man said laughing.“I didn't ask you, did I?." I ask him and his smile turns into a smug.“Well, you're right." He starts to say, and even before he completes his statement, I was out of the store. I wait for the right time when King Cypher would be alone in his throne room. I wa
The Almighty General But, time and blood are being shed
It's evening Late evening. King Cypher is furious. His vineyard and his royal barn and garden has been lit on fire, the water is red and it tastes gruesome but King Cypher's heart is still hardened.“What is he trying to prove?." King Cypher asked the moment he found out that Jax had lit his garden on fire.“We'll get another supply of water!." He said merrily when he heard that Jax had polluted the water supply.“What are a few grapes going to do to me?." He asks slightly frustrated when Jax had burnt down his vineyard. Then the orchard, he took a little to heart and asked that if Jax is found, he should be brought to the palace stressing the 'IF' meaning that Jax should not be searched for. Hes a stupid man, I had heard a messenger say while washing her hair with the water that Jax had polluted. It was King Cypher's order that the staff of the kingdom that had lesser jobs should use the contaminated water.“It's water after all, isn't it?." He asked.“Indeed, he's a stupid
The Almighty General precise
Diane's POV He walks towards me, I don't see him but I hear his footsteps. Quick and precise, as if he thinks of where and how to step before his foot touches the ground. I feel his hand in my hair before I hear him say he's sorry. But it's not his fault I want to tell him, he's a prisoner to my father... A slave... Slaves don't have options but freedom and escape. A slave that is given the armour of a commanding general. “I'm sorry " I say to him instead. For trying too hard and making him stress about it when he dosen't even know what happened to him. I was there that night, hiding far away from the dungeon house, just somewhere that my father and Jax wouldn't notice. I saw them walking in with the gas tank and mask. I saw them call the other guards to lift Hans' body and take him back to the teleporting room as if he had just arrved for the first time. I saw him after that time. He was a strong man, I didn't know what he was before the system, I met him after
The Almighty General capture
Jax's POV My whole happiness seized the moment my eyes fell on their hands, the way they held on to each other. Diane smiled at me and her father called her to his throne. She looked shagged... Her hair was not like the usual, it was as if she hadn't had the time to brush it.They were together last night, I concluded. I take my sister's hands and I give a small bow.“Where are we going?." She asked me, then I realized that she had been gone the time they built the qauters so she wasn't familiar with it.“My quarter." I told her briefly.“Jax... I have something to tell you" she tells me. I stop walking and I turn to examine her.“Sorry... I haven't asked you... Are you alright?."“You've asked me if I'm alright like a million times and I told you I am. " She said rolling her eyes.“Okay. What is it you wanted to tell me." I asked her.“The people of Tar... They're not what we think they are. They're good people." She says and I pull her I to my quarter.“I know." I tell he
