The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed A fugitive on the run
August quickly extended his phone to David, showing off the map and a red pointer located at the eastern part of the map, and was on the move. It was Emily’s car. The map was defined, it had so many navigations showing the nearest routes that could be used to catch up to her.David was quite proficient with driving, so in no time he started diverting into shortcuts at insane speed while chasing after her. Though his attention was on the road, he could not help but ask. “How were you able to figure her out?” “Have you forgotten who I am? I have a strong sense of perception David. I knew something was wrong the moment Caroline explained things to me. And watch out, Mark has something to do with this.” August said with a deadly glint in his eyes.“Mark? That arrogant brat. He has caused so much trouble beyond how you can count. If you like, I can teach him a lesson after this.” David offered.“Don’t worry, I know how to deal with him. I pray he has nothing to do with all this or else
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed I can’t hurt a woman
“Sir there are two people here beside the counter. They seek an audience with you. Please can you come down right away?” The attendant said quickly.“And who could that be? If they are not here to patronize us, tell them to get lost right away!” The manager hollered, sounding uninterested in whoever it was. The attendant became lost on what to say or do. If the manager didn’t come down at this moment then who knows, the next hit might go into the middle of her head. She couldn’t help but look at where August slammed earlier and having seen the weblike crack, her heart palpitated more.Sighing, August dragged the telephone from her before speaking. “Hello, I am the guy who slapped you yesterday, remember? I am here to look for a woman named Emily, but your attendant won’t give me her room number. You better come down here at this instant as my patience is running out.” He warned before hanging up and giving her back the phone.Did he slap the manager yesterday? Everyone in earshot g
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed Who is Jason?
The process went on for a while. David lessened the pressure of the slap else the impact would have been way worse. By now, not only would her face be swollen like that of a pig, but it would be distorted beyond recognition.“That’s enough.” August raised his hand to stop him. Emily was now breathless and couldn’t stand on her two feet anymore. Her body slumped down to the floor as pain coursed through her veins.“You! How dare you wreck my fine face? Have you no respect for women?” Emily barked, feeling miserable.“I do. But not your kind. With what you have done, you deserve more. You detestable wench.” David sneered.“Start talking. Who is Jason and how is he involved in all this?” August asked again.“He…” Emily stuttered. Even though she was feeling pain all over she knew that revealing the truth would bring more consequences for her so instead, she wanted to say something else.“Don’t even think of lying to me. Or else you won’t just receive only slaps next. I have other ways of
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed 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

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
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed 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
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed 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
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed 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

Spilling the truth about August
In no time, she was done signing the contract. Lisa went downstairs with the original copy and duplicated it into two. She gave the photocopy to Caroline while the original was kept by Ayden. “Congratulations Miss Caroline. We will be waiting for some good news from you.” Ayden stood up as he spoke.“Of course. We will start supplying as soon as possible.” Caroline felt like jumping up but she couldn’t else it appeared to be weird to their faces. “I’ll be taking my leave then.” She said and with that, she took her leave.After she left, Lisa leaned over and asked. “She’s gorgeous. The boss has a good shot as a beautiful woman. But why didn’t want her to know he owned the company?” Ayden was just as confused as her but since it was August orders, he dare not pry on it.“Go back to work Lisa.” He waved her off.Seeing his expression wasn’t welcoming, she could only swallow what she wanted to say before walking off to continue her work.On the other hand, Caroline left the company and
The manager is waiting for you
Meanwhile, August was stuck in his office, his head buried between both palms as he wallowed in his thoughts. There was nothing more disturbing than losing the people you care about. He knew this wouldn’t be the end here. For some reason, he felt at ease knowing Ezra and Tom were guarding Caroline at all times.Not just from him, but from any danger that might come her way. However, he didn’t know what motive Ms. Winston had. For now, he would watch her and see how things unfold. As for Caroline, he would also wait to see if she had decided on her feelings for him.Ding!Just then, a notification came up on his phone. He weakly looked at it, only to find a message from Caroline. She was coming here to his company to secure a deal. His eyes brightened as he thought about using the opportunity to see her but then, he would rather not reveal he had company yet, not yet, not when he had so many enemies around.Sighing, he pulled his phone and texted Ayden, telling him to agree to the corp
Securing a deal with Apex corperation
They all hopped into a taxi and drove off to the company. If not that the car August gave to her was collected, she would be driving it by now.Also, the company had made a few progress that were worth being happy about so she thought about buying a car after leaving work today. At Least, it would save her the stress of having to wait and take a taxi to work daily. She got to her office and as usual, she went through documents, signing them here and there and also giving approval. She wasn't done yet when a knock came up on the door.“Come in.” Her eyes weakly looked at it as she answered.Crack!The doorknob was twisted, and the assistant manager named Frederick walked in. He was in his late fifties but even at that, he made sure to give her the required respect as not only was she the manager, but she was the chairman too. “Good afternoon madam.” He walked in and bowed to her slightly.“Come on Frederick, you can call me by name. There's no need for formalities.” Caroline's eyes s
Cower in the darkness
“What? Kick me out of the council? After what I have done for you? After carrying out your dirty work, and yet now you want to bail out on me?” Mr. Black couldn't take this. Anger surged inside his veins. Because of them, he had most of his bones dislocated by August, just because he did not reveal anything about them.If he had given August names, none of them would be standing here today. Though August wasn't strong enough to take them down, that didn't guarantee he wouldn't do so in the near future.“You brought this upon yourself. If you had lie low and followed orders, things wouldn't have blown up to this point. We asked you to hand over the company to him and let him manage it. You shouldn't have done more and let yourself be captured by him.” Another man who couldn't be seen spoke from the shadows.“So? I should have let Gabriel continue his research about the Qi vein so be can tell August about it?” Mr. black retorted.“How about destroying it right after he had found it? Tha
Going too far
Meanwhile, standing on the lonely street of North Sub, around an abandoned warehouse, David was staring down at a body that had so many cuts on him. It was Gabriel. Someone killed him brutally just to send a message.Worst of all, they used his phone to text David just so he could come and find such a terrible sight. However, David didn't need anyone to tell him before knowing the reason for all this.Days ago, August had invited Gabriel over again to help find the Qi vein, a massive source of Qi so he could cultivate in and get his powers back. Though Gabriel seemed to be progressing, as a result, he was found by August's enemies and killed because they didn't want the location of the Qi to be revealed.Indeed, they feared for his powers to return as they knew that there wouldn't be a place they would hide in that he wouldn't be able to find them. Also, there wouldn't be anyone that could protect them from him.Shortly after he sent the address to August, he stood by the side waiting
Gabriel’s death
Thud!Nathaniel's heart sank to the rock bottom. August's words didn't sound like he was just putting up airs but instead, it was clear that he was going to act, and the outcome would put Nathaniel at a disadvantage.Just then, he remembered how Jason's leg was broken beyond repair. If such a thing was to happen to him then indeed his life would become miserable. But then, when he remembered the men who were behind him, his ego came back up.“I will take my leave now. But don't you dare say I didn't warn you! You brought this upon yourself for what you have done. After I am done with you, I'll attack your wife's company. Let's see how you can take that.” Nathaniel said and stood up about to walk off without noticing the change in August's expression.He might not react much when his company was threatened but when it came to his wife, Caroline, he wouldn't even tolerate the mere utterance of it.Swoosh!Like a gust of wind, August was all over Nathaniel choking his neck as he lifted h
Making a proposal
The man was Nathaniel, the chairman of moonlight corporation. After he had concluded on what to do in a meeting with the shareholders of his company, he came here to meet August to make sure he agreed to his demands, or else he might wage war against him.“And you are?” He asked, staring at August with a hint of doubt in his eyes. The way he was dressed wasn't as flashy as how people of high status usually dressed. If Nathaniel could guess, he might assume August was merely a cleaner or a bodyguard.“Do you dare to know who I am?” August was done with his cufflinks and he walked over to the desk and sat on the table beside it. His eyes lifted towards Nathaniel and he asked.“You can't come to my company and bark like a dog. Tell me, what do you want?” He asked, without taking him seriously.Nathaniel felt like his heart was being chiseled out of his chest. August didn't have regard for elderly people such as him and didn't even stand up to receive him even after what he had done, and
Any recent developments?
The door was pushed open, and Ayden walked in with a slim woman in a casual suit. Her name was Lisa, the receptionist in the company. When she came earlier, the door was locked, and also the security told her that the chairman had come in last night. When she told Ayden, he was stunned. What must have brought August to the company so late yesterday? Does this mean there was an issue, or perhaps he came here for something else? He thought.His heart began to thump loudly in his chest. He felt he must have gotten himself in big trouble again.He swiped the door and walked in to find August seated on the couch. The look on his face was evident that he was just waking up from sleep. Lisa and Ayden were able to confirm that indeed August was here, but what was surprising was the thought of him sleeping here in the office.“Good morning boss.” Ayden greeted quickly.“Good morning Mr. Chairman.” Lisa bowed a little as she greeted.Raising his brows at them, August greeted. “Morning.” Then h
Have you two parted ways?
While Caroline was in her room crying, her family members seemed to have concluded what their next move would be. They all came into an agreement and thereafter, everyone drove away heading back to the main Winston villa. Rachel on the other hand, rushed towards Ms Winston to ask what had been bothering her.“Where is Mark? How is he?” Her eyes held so much emotion as she asked. “Why don't you go and see for yourself? He is back at home. A doctor has been invited to treat him there.” Ms Winston sneered before turning to the exit, obviously still angry at Rachel.However, after taking a few steps, she stopped and turned towards her.“Make sure to return the car key to him. Perhaps have someone deliver the car back to his house.” She added and with that, she left.Rachel nodded, having no complaints about that as after all she was thinking the same thing. She turned towards Ezra and Ayden, “Be with her at all times okay?” She instructed, and after they had nodded in confirmation, she
