The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed The meeting
Right after the call, the office turned silent. Caroline was seated on the other side of the table looking nervous. Both of her palms pressed together as she began to doubt if the executives would show up. Does this mean she no longer had authority in the company? Mark hadn’t only messed things up, but he made her lose her worth and power too.If that was the case, then the company was surely doomed. With the stock price going down and if there wasn’t a way to solve it, the company would have no choice but to file for bankruptcy. If that was to happen, what she had spent years to build would have been for nothing.August noticed her worry and this made him fume in anger. These loosers needed to know their place or else they could keep acting the way they wanted.“Caroline, come let’s go to the conference room. We will wait for them. Just like I’ve said, ten munites. If they don’t come, we will fire them all.” He suggested.“Fire them all? They are top executives in the company. If I f
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed Foul-mouthed husband
Everyone’s expression turned ugly except for August who was now smiling. If these fools didn’t know they could be replaced, then they could keep acting the way they saw fit.“But…you can’t fire us. We are the executives and finding a replacement will be hard. The company is already in a dire situation. Without us, it will only get worse.” Emily broke the silence. It seemed the slap didn’t do well in deforming that face of hers. August thought to himself.“Yes, you can't sack us. Doing this will affect you greatly. The workers will assume the company is going through a breakdown, and they will quit.” Charles joined in after finding so much sense in what Emily said.“Besides, I think Mark is the one making the rules here. You can't sack us unless he does.”“Exactly. Don’t just instill fear in us the way you see fit. You have lost your position in front of our eyes already. You should go home and take care of this foul-mouthed husband of yours.”“True. I won’t be intimidated by the likes
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed Taking a loan
It took a while yet no one said anything or even made an attempt to say a thing. The reason was that fifty million was such a huge amount and finding a bank that could loan it to them, especially when the company was in such a state would be very difficult.Whoever took the loan might have to be responsible for the consequences later on. Though they had told Caroline they were ready to help, going to take a loan from the bank was something they couldn’t help out with.Sighs!“Okay, I’ll go by myself. I reckon that Pinnacle Bank is the highest bank in this city that can loan us such an amount. Not to worry, I’ll make sure I get the loan.“You all can go back to your respective departments and wait for news from me. I’ll come with something positive.” Caroline said with a determined look on her face that spurred the others.After all, she was the CEO. Taking such responsibility was supposed to be part of her work. Also, given her past achievements, none of them could hold a torch to her
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed A trap
Searching through his phone, Mark found the number of the manager of Pinnacle Bank. Never did he think it could be beneficial if not today and at this moment. Days ago, he had collected the number intending to collect a loan and putting the charges on the company. His spending habit was something he couldn’t control and by taking the loan, he could keep living the luxurious life he wanted.Sadly, before he was unable to achieve that, August and Caroline came into the picture and ruined everything for him.“Hello, Mr. Ethan, you must be the bank manager of Pinnacle Bank, right?” Mark said right after the call went through.“And who is this?” The voice sounded uninterested over the phone.Rolling his eyes, Mark racked his brain on what to say and after a while, he seemed to have come up with a plan. “It’s like this, I am a worker in Aurora Corporation and my boss wants to take a loan from your bank. I know it might not make sense, but I have to warn you that our company is bad, and we
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed Sue you for slander
Both August and Caroline looked in the direction of where the voice was coming from and saw a bald head short man, clad in a suit, walking toward them. He had so many security guards behind him as he made his way towards them. Without thinking twice they could tell he was the manager.“You must be Caroline and you must be August the cripple husband who started walking as of recently? So what are you here for today? Take a loan and not pay it back? You guys are the thieves of the society. You ruin everything for us and think you can get away easily?” Ethan sneered in anger. Even though it was all an act, it had to be real since he was paid such a huge amount.Hearing this immediately sparked a discussion among customers.“They are debtor, aren’t they? So they go around taking loans and not paying back?”“Why don’t just sue their company for debt? This is too much.”“And I heard her company was one of the good ones. It seems the good they appear to be, the dirtier they seem to be on the
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed Pleading for forgiveness
Kneel? Ethan's brows creased in annoyance. Based on status, he was the esteemed manager of Pinnacle Bank, a figure whom so many people looked up to, and here was a punk, demanding he kneel in front of so many eyes. That would be a big insult to his pride and reputation.“Punk, don’t go too far. I’ve realized my mistakes. Don’t think you can threaten me the way you see fit.” He bellowed in anger as he pointed at August.“The one who threatened us here was you. You wanted to call the police, didn’t you? I’ll give you a last chance, you owe my wife an apology, do it peacefully or see you in court, pick one.” August replied with a frown, putting him in a tough position again.Thinking about it, Ethan figured he still had the upper hand here. As long as he got the recording from August, he would have nothing to present to the police as well as sue him. Besides, he had so many men behind him so why get scared of him?“Punk, you have just asked for it, and don’t blame me for being rude.” Eth
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed A reward
Huh? Wasn’t this daylight robbery? Fifty million dollars as compensation for all this? Ethan found himself in a dilemma once more. He wasn’t sure he would be able to get out of this one for the rest of his life. He only made two hundred and fifty thousand dollars here a year, how would he be able to pay the bank after this?He remained knee on the floor. His consciousness seemed to have left his body for a moment when Caroline spoke.“Bring the legal agreement. We will take it as a loan, not compensation.” Then she turned to look at August with a pleading gaze, that explained he shouldn’t pursue this matter anymore. Fifty million was such a huge amount and making Ethan bare the consequences of that would only make her feel like a bad person.“Okay, I’ll let him off because if you.” August compromised with a smile.“Thank you.” Caroline smiled before looking at Ethan.“I’ll get it right away. Thank you so much.” He replied before storming off quickly to it done. She had just spared him
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed Divorce him!
Just then, Rachel, Ms Winston, and even Mark walked out of the villa. When last had he ever made an appearance here in this house, but today he was here. All because of what?That wasn’t all, a man clad in a suit looking to be in his early thirties also walked out holding the divorce papers. He was a lawyer from the marriage union. “What’s going on here?” Caroline's brows creased as she looked around. August also frowned. He couldn’t help but shiver on the inside thinking, with their persuasion, she might give in to divorce him. Besides, a few days ago, she said that herself. What if her decision hadn’t changed? What if she still wanted to divorce him? So many thoughts were popping up in his head.“You didn’t hear me correctly? Since that bastard has come to the family, he has caused nothing but chaos. He even made you turn against me and take over the company. He beat your brother too. You don’t think I’ll take this to you?l” ms Winston said as she pulled Mark forward. Surprisingly,

Banished from the family
The words were like a bomb, but only to August and Caroline's ears. As for the others, they were more than pleased to hear such a thing from Ms Winston. It was more like they had been waiting for it to happen since they were the ones who instigated her into it.Besides, everyone wanted to get rid of him, so the feeling was general among them.“No! You can't do that. He is my husband, how can you banish him?” Caroline's eyes widened as she snapped, unable to take it.“And It's because he is your husband that's why he has been banished. Since he feels he can do what he pleases, we don't want him anymore in this family nor our house.” Ms Winston finalized, her eyes portraying a deadly glint.Hearing this, Rachel couldn't hide her happiness. She quickly stepped forward to persuade Caroline and have her view things the way she did.“Caroline, this is better. Your grandmother and everyone have made sure to come up with this because they know it's the best for you. They want to look out for
Passing out judgment
In no time, so many people hop out of the car and behold, they were all family members of the Winston family. From Ms Winston who was the head of the family down to the lowest member of the family. Each of them had frowns of displeasure in their face as they walked down to where August and Caroline were.In total, there were twenty of them. The cars they came with couldn’t fit into the house, so some had to park outside.“Caroline and August, you both outside?” Ms Winston said as she stood in front while he other family member stood behind her back. “Rachel, you are outside too.” She lifted her head towards the door while Rachel walked down to greet her.“Mother, I didn’t know you were coming. And with everyone?” Rachel was tense as she spoke. Having so many family members come to the house meant one thing. Something serious had happened.“And who do you think is the cause? Your son has been locked up in prison after he was beaten to a pulp but this brute.” Ms Winston sneered before h
Giving the car to Caroline
On the other hand, Caroline was on her way home in a taxi when she received a notification on her phone. Her account had been credited with the sum of fifteen million dollars.This made her gasp so loudly that the cab man had to look at her in worry, thinking the worst scenario had happened to her.“Did something bad happen?” He turned around to find her staring at her phone intensely. Realizing she must have raised an alarm, she quickly brushed off the expression on her face and smiled. “Ooh, it's nothing.” She said. Besides how could she start telling him she received such a huge amount of money when after all he was a stranger to her?“I see.” The man looked away and kept on driving.Meanwhile, Caroline remained restless. She became so eager to go home just so she could ask August if he had something to do with this. Or does this mean what he had predicted was right? The money was from Mark. He wouldn't randomly send her money unless maybe…. She clasped her mouth tightly unable t
What do we do now?
While Caroline was still in the company, she received a confession video of Jason stating how he plotted everything and also how Mark was the one who instigated him into it. Then again, it had to be her brother who wanted her downfall more than anything else. Was it that until she had given up and handed over the company back to him, was when he would stop trying to bring her to her demise? Why was it that people who were supposed to be family, and the closest thing you were supposed to have in the world turned out to be worse than one's enemies?In the end, she couldn't bring herself to ask the police to arrest Charlotte. It wasn't her fault since she was threatened by Emily and because she had a kid she was taking care of, Caroline was unable to let such harsh judgment befall her. She was once again put in a tough position, but that didn't mean she was supposed to be heartless. As for Emily and Jason, she made sure to expose what they did in a press conference. Also, she was sure
A thorough beating
Bang!Soon, multiple sounds could be heard as not only was Mark's head driven into the television but even the floor, the flower vase, and even the couch had been smashed with his face. He was now feeling miserable and didn’t dare to say August couldn’t hurt him.He tried to break free from August's grip, but his body was like a trash can that could easily be tossed from here to there“Wait please, let me go. What did I do?” Mark asked feigning ignorance. Though it was ridiculous, it made August stop beating him just to look at his pathetic face.Just then, the lady who August met with Mark in the bedroom scurried out of the house with her handbag and heels in her hand.She didn’t dare to completely dress after seeing how August was dealing with Mark thoroughly. She felt if she didn’t run, then perhaps it might be her turn next.Meanwhile, August didn’t bother with her and just focused on Mark. “Where is the forty million that was sent to you?” He asked. Mark was a big spender and ha
Crashing the party
The bustling of music boomed all over the house and also into the neighbor's houses from around, but somehow, none of them had come out to complain. Perhaps, they were too scared to come out to complain, or even if they had, Mark must have threatened them or either way, bribed them to keep shut now that he had a lot of money.“Excuse me, out of the way!” Suddenly, a feminine voice came from behind almost pushing August out of the way. When he looked, he saw a girl with a skimpy skirt trying to get into the house.When she felt his gaze on her, she clicked her tongue. “If you aren’t going to go in, then get lost!” She sneered before walking in.August smiled. “Yeah, I’ll go in but to crash the party.” He said to himself before walking into the house.“Come on ladies, shake that waist. Allow the music to control you. And also don’t forget to get drunk tonight. Everything here has been settled by Mark. Enjoy yourself.” The club DJ roared while making some gestures to the crowd. He was i
Paying mark a visit
Jason was in so much pain. Blood was splashing out of his broken leg, but the pain wasn’t comparable to the deadly aura he was feeling from August. He wasn’t human at all. It was like staring at a beast knowing that one mistake can cost your life. After all, August had said it already. If he didn’t do as told, then he was going to die.Though it was painful to be disabled, he didn’t want to die. Quickly he pulled out his phone and called the finance department.“Hello, I want you to sell twelve percent of the company's stock. After that, I want you to credit Aurora Corporation with the sum of a hundred and sixty million dollars right away.” Jason gave his orders while shivering.“What? Sell the company stock? The higher-ups won’t want that.” The voice protested over the phone, but Jason was firm. His life was on the line here. He would deal with all those later on, but for now, he had to try to save himself.“Shut up and do what you are told. The chairman ordered this.” Jason lied so
Double of what you took!
Soon, the footsteps that were coming from the door, amounted to the appearance of six burly guards. Each of them had bulging muscles. Their bodies seemed too thick to be covered by their uniforms and their auras were also so deadly that even the sunglasses they were wearing couldn’t hide it out.“Boss, your orders!” After assembling, they looked at Jason to hear what he had for them.Smiling, Jason looked at August and said. “Beat that punk, drag him out, and toss him away. I don’t care if he is rich, I can’t have him revealing what I have done. Break his legs too.” He ordered.“Yes, boss!” All six men cracked their knuckles as they locked their eyes on August like he was some bug to be preyed on. He looked skinny and the fact that there were six of them, these men didn’t even think that August would be a tough challenge for them. Rather, they felt it was like cornering a kid and giving him the beating of his life.Ayden who was by the side looked at them like fools. He had witnessed
Meeting Jason
“Okay, boss,” Ayden answered with a nod and quickly floored the gas pedal driving away. He could see the mood August was in and could tell something was wrong. He might not know why they were going to Moonlight Corporation, but since that was what August wanted, who was he to challenge his wishes?The drive was fast but silence enveloped the car for what felt like hours before they arrived. They parked at the entrance of the company. Compared to Aurora Corporation, this one was lagging in so many ways.The structure of the building, the size, and most especially, the landscape. August swept his gaze around the place to the top before looking back at the entrance.“Let’s go.” He motioned at Ayden and both of them began to walk into the company. Upon eyeshot, every worker who saw them, having known Ayden due to how famous he was as the manager of a construction company, assumed that they were here to seek a corporation. Wasn't this a good opportunity? All of them thought to themselve
