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
Marco clenched his fists tightly. His face was red with protruding neck veins. Immediately, the sound of a table being hit violently rang out, causing some of the servants and soldiers to jump in surprise. Several ceramic cups arranged with the teapot clinked against each other. Marco glared at the people there. He looked like he was ready to swallow them alive. Marco would immediately smash them with his fists if anyone made the slightest wrong move.Not content with punching the wooden table until it cracked, Marco also threw a vase of flowers right in front of the remaining squad leader's feet. The man shouted loudly, "You're all so annoying! You fools!" The green veins on Marco's neck seemed to tighten, and the man's eyes bulged like they could roll to the floor. He girded his loins, along with his intimidating gaze. The people there had no intention of answering, acting like blind and deaf statues. They were there because Marco had called, and now, they had to be ready to listen
News of the war that was taking place was now starting to spread widely among the people. The citizens of Pharae and almost the entire country of Skylonia were talking about it. Some TV news had shown the results of the war, along with the people involved in it. Even so, no one knew if Julius was involved in the war. They only knew that big people who had a share in the money circulation in Skylonia were involved in the unrest.One Skylonian interviewed in a TV program said, "This war feels very scary. I can't imagine it happening near me." The man was wearing a black hat with a backpack hanging on his back. Apparently, he was planning to hike before the news of the war broke and had to return home due to the unsafe situation.Another man added, "It's a good thing our country won. Otherwise, I wouldn't know where to run." The two men nodded at each other. They shook their heads in unison until the reporter asked them if they knew who was involved in the war. Apparently, Julius managed
"Apparently, they are quite difficult for us to fight. Our enemies have a backup strategy," Marco said as the president of the country of Infrastraat sat before him. The man looked at the president with an ordinary gaze as if the position held by the old man was nothing.Marco then crossed his legs and handed a document to the president, "But you just relax, I'll give you the help you deserve." When Marco said this, the president's face immediately brightened. The man named John Freddison took the document handed over by Marco. When he opened it, he immediately smiled broadly. He laughed, nodding in agreement at Marco's amount for their cooperation.Marco grinned, "Under these circumstances, we should take better care of ourselves." Marco's initial remark caught the attention of President John. The man turned away from the amount he received and focused on what Marco wanted to tell him.And now, Marco paused, "You know, just by sacrificing a little, we can get what we want. A better l
"Damn, man! You don't know yourself!" cursed the man whose hand Julius had not yet let go. The man tried to pull his wrist, which was aching, and his eyes were sharp as if he wanted to devour Julius alive. The man then pointed at Julius' face with his left forefinger, "You've made the mistake of being violent to me. Do you think I'm going to just let you go? You must have hit me deliberately to make my shoulder hurt this much. You have to take responsibility!"Julius shook his head. He tried to speak calmly, "You were the one who walked in a hurry and bumped into me. I was stationary here when you suddenly charged in from the side." That's right, Julius wasn't moving when this strange man in front of him suddenly appeared and hit him with force. The man also cursed him outright when Julius hadn't said anything yet.But the man still didn't accept Julius' explanation. He even came forward and pushed Julius' shoulder with an unfriendly look in his eyes, "What the hell? You think I don't
The two bodyguards' eyes bulged when they heard Julius' denial. To him, Julius was just a janitor who was no higher than a presidential bodyguard. The man girded his loins and stepped forward to intimidate Julius, "Do you know what you just said? How dare you!"The man then pointed at Julius with a very annoyed look, "I'm very tired, and I already have a lot of work to do! Don't you try to add to my burden! Besides, this cleaning is your job. What's so hard about mopping the dirty floor again? Is it my business if you have to clean the floor you cleaned earlier?" His eyes bulged so many times, scolding Julius that some of his spit seemed to fly in the air.The guard spoke loudly, half threatening Julius in the hope that Julius would immediately apologize and do what he asked. But apparently, the guard's loud voice did not have much effect on Julius. Instead, Julius casually said, "I'm busy."Not only that, Julius also added, "Besides, you're not babies anymore. So clean up your mess."
