Hearing Julius' answer, Joan, of course, immediately took offense. The man felt very upset and said, "You're such a piece of shit! Just look at you! You're so ugly and weak. I'm sure you'll go down in a heartbeat. Why don't you look in the mirror, huh?" Joan's question sounded so fierce that it attracted the attention of several passers-by.Julius himself was indifferent, just looking at her without interest. Listening to Joan ramble and raise her tone until the man seemed out of breath, "Why are you just silent? You don't know yourself. You should get out of here and step aside. Realize how you look now."Joan continued talking until she felt Julius was staring at her without interest. She was really annoyed and felt like she was being played even though Julius hadn't done anything. With her anger growing, Joan shouted, "Answer me, damn it!" And now, the man threw a fist at Julius.Unfortunately, Joan's punch didn't hit Julius because he got hit first. He fell to the sidewalk, clutch
Julius saw that the men were moving to hit him. One of them raised his fist and aimed it at Julius' face. Julius quickly ducked out of the way to prevent anything untoward from happening. From this alone, Julius knew they were looking for trouble with him. Especially when one of the thugs made a move to kick him in the leg, causing him to fall, and another man blocked him with a punch to the jaw.The number of people now attacking Julius is three. They were big and tall. They seemed to have solid, well-trained muscles. Not to mention, every attack they made was very targeted. Their movements looked like something other than amateurs or street fighters relying on instinct. They were solid and clever at picking up openings, and Julius was sure they had the fighting skills from specialized martial arts training."Damn!" cursed Julius as he was accidentally kicked in the stomach. Although it wasn't a fatal attack, it was pretty painful, considering that the people who attacked him had big
It happened so fast, with a huge explosion that turned the black car outside the supermarket into rubble. Thick smoke and flames made the car look even more pathetic. Now, people were coming out of the houses and buildings nearby. Even the self-service cashier, who was almost asleep at first, came running out with a green apron on her body.People gathered around and tried to get a closer look at the source of the explosion. Some of them took pictures and videos at the scene, "What is it that exploded? It's not because he turned on his cell phone while refuelling, right?"One person from the street came closer and stood on tiptoe, peering into the growing crowd, "Are there any casualties? Did you call the fire department and ambulance?" he asked no one in particular.No one answered. People were busy speculating on their own. They wondered what had happened and asked if there were any casualties. What was clear was that they hadn't even seen anyone inside the burnt-out car.While eve
Julius sat on one of the chairs in the room, close to his grandmother, who was at the far end, where the head of the family usually sat. It was quiet at the moment, with a tense and unnerving aura. The ticking of the clock was much louder than usual. With several pictures lying in the centre of the table, the results of Jeff and his colleagues' investigation. The grandmother looked so flat as Julius stared coldly at the picture of the man who had died before he could get the information he wanted from her.Julius sighed softly, "Grandmother, what exactly is going on? It seems some people are eager to fight and bring us down." Julius looked up at his grandmother, who had both hands on the table. The woman grabbed one of the pictures Julius had been staring at and looked at it with an expressionless face.She replied, "Such things happen very often, Julius." Now, she turned her gaze to Julius and said, "Our enemies will always try to bring down the Luckystone family."The woman then lea
Julius sat quietly in the car, with Jeff driving up ahead. He looked out of the window, confirming that he was now far away from the city. The tall trees made the sunlight appear dim. The road was quite narrow and could only fit one car. On the right side of the road, there was a ravine with a depth that Julius couldn't guess because there was so much grass that had grown tall and blocked the view.Not to mention, the road was winding and steep. Julius could see the road getting higher and higher, leading to a hill. From the beginning of the journey to now, Julius could know that they had spent more than two hours. A very long time journey, and they didn't even pass through another town. Because this road route was complicated, and there were no other shorter alternative roads.Julius was still looking around when Jeff stopped the car and said, "We're here, Master." Then, Julius began to look around more carefully. In this area, the trees were not as dense as when traveling, so the su
Julius saw them all with each other. The men were tall and fit. It was obvious that they were well-trained men. And Johannes certainly didn't just have them all. Then, the two of them walked and sat down again. This time, a servant from Johannes' side had prepared drinks for the two. By now, they were free from awkwardness, although Julius had thought that Johannes was not a blind man.When they were both seated, Johannes said, "They are great and well-trained soldiers. Many have recognized their prowess. Because sometimes, I also hire them out as professional mercenaries." Ah, they are not just soldiers serving Johannes. Sometimes, they are also called to do missions for others.It wasn't just for training or to make a fortune that Johannes hired out his soldiers. The man had other intentions, such as making them all spies and getting information out more easily. People tend to use mercenaries to cover up all their mistakes and sins, not realizing if the real consequence is that the
"As we agreed before, it will be very beneficial for your country," said a man wearing a black suit with gold embroidery on the pockets. The man sat in a black-painted room with a glass table that looked luxurious and elegant. He smiled a small smile, a business smile that he had learned so well that it seemed friendly and trustworthy to anyone who saw it. Meanwhile, another man in front of him had white hair and was accompanied by two bodyguards standing faithfully behind him. The man was silent, with a face that was hard to read. He seemed stiff and did not like to wait for long. Wrinkles appeared on his forehead, with smile lines that could not hide his age.The man in the black suit now rested his hands on the table and said, "Not only could this trigger wars in neighboring countries, it could also allow you to gain a much larger territory." The man's eyes seemed to glint slyly, and now, he smiled wryly, "And of course, after all your efforts pay off and I win everything, I'll giv
Julius stood with a pair of binoculars in his hand. The atmosphere was quiet, filled only by birds chirping among the towering green trees. Some seemed to fly away to avoid the vibrations around the place. Behind Julius, a waterfall flowed freely and fell onto the rocks. The sound was quite noisy, but it didn't break Julius' concentration on observing the area. It's quite an arduous journey to get to where Julius is now. These steep hills with rocky roads can only be climbed on foot or by helicopter.Moreover, the sharp rocks and the ravines on the right and left sides meant that few people wanted to visit because of the rugged terrain. Even so, when Julius reached the top of the hill, he could enjoy the green and refreshing natural scenery. Although the purpose of coming there was not to entertain himself, the shady atmosphere on the mountain improved Julius' concentration.Meanwhile, far away, under Julius' watchful eye through his extraordinary binoculars, he saw an airplane crash
