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,
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed Who sent you?
Watching August leave, the expression on their faces turned even ugly. What was that attitude just now? Who told him to walk out? Had he become even more arrogant because Caroline refused to divorce him? Damn it! Ms Winston cursed. She found him on the street, crippled, hopeless and useless.She brought him here as he was a perfect victim to make her plan work, but now it felt like he was a weapon fashioned against her. He had become Caroline’s backbone, and now he was rigorously acting on his accord as though this was his turf.“We have to find a way to deal with him. I’ll make sure to hook Caroline up with some second generation and only then will she get her mind off this loser. Also, he can help us take care of him.” Ms Winston said her thoughts out loud before looking at the lawyer.“I’m sorry, my granddaughter is just blinded, but that is temporary. I’ll make sure to come find you and sign the papers.” She said to him.“No problem. Since both parties hadn’t signed the document t
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed I need names
Seeing the look in August's eyes, even if he wanted to throw more jokes, he didn’t have the guts to do so. Besides, he had been warned that August had quite a temper and if he were to infuriate him, then regardless of if he had lost his powers, he could still be killed. After all, David was always by his side. August might not be a threat now but David was. His strength was so formidable that it was also feared in the country even though it didn’t hold a torch to August back when he was still in his prime.Sighing, the man replied. “Here,” he leaned to the side and pulled a briefcase to the front. Then he unlocked it and pulled out a stack of documents. “I was asked to give you the ownership of Apex Corporation. Please sign here and the company will be yours.“Also here is the sum of five billion dollars. It’s all yours. You can take it and start your own business. The apex company is a second-tier company that is worth ten billion dollars. It should be enough for you right?” The ma
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed They got me!
Inside the Lamborghini.The man in a suit pulled out his phone and dialed a number while at the same time, his other hand was on the steering wheel, controlling the car at an insane speed.“Hello, I’ve done what you asked. But I’m afraid David is on my tail.” He said nervously as he could see David’s car was almost catching up to him. Even though his car was the latest edition of Lamborghini and was supposed to be quite fast, David's car seemed to be modified and in terms of speed, they might be considered almost the same.“That brat? Don’t worry, I'll handle it.” A voice replied over the phone before the call disconnected. The man smiled knowing he was going to get out of this situation and even though David was open to following him to get some answers, he was doomed to fail.On the other hand, David who was about to catch up to him was suddenly shot by a sniper out of nowhere.Bang!“Ooh, shit!” He cursed and quickly controlled the steering wheel to dodge the bullet, but that wasn

Meeting Mr black
David was already smiling after he was told about the plan. Last time, August wouldn’t have let Mr black leave, but he had threatened his wife’s family and that was why he was forced to compromise.But now he didn’t care about them one bit. They wanted him to divorce Caroline and seemed to be against her progress. Her mother had wanted to poison them, so why should they protect them? The only person he wanted to protect was Caroline, and already, he had sent some men to look after her. Besides, with the way Mr. black thinks, she would be the one he might try to use against August. Now, there wouldn’t be anything that could be used to suppress him again like before.Soon, they hopped into a car and left. Meanwhile, Mr. Wang had already arrived at the hotel and went on to room thirty on the top floor. He came alone just like how he was instructed but when he reached the path to the door, he saw a group of people that were none like who he had seen before.These men were burly, had thic
Just as he predicted
“What did you just say? Some man named Mr. Wang has taken over the situation, saying he is the one who sent men to destroy the building? Who the fuck is he?” Mr black ranged, his finger clasped around the phone almost crushing it into bits.Anger had seeped into his face, his other knuckles had turned white due to fist tightening, and it was only a tiny bit of resistance he was holding on to else he would have smashed something in the room. This should be how August should be reacting, but the tables have turned. What the heck was going on?“Sir, he owns the project. And just now, news has it that he gave apex corporation the sum of two billion dollars to work on a different project on that same piece of land.” The person replied on the phone.“Is he nuts or what? He is trying to butt in my business, huh? Then I will entertain myself a bit. Find me this Mr. Wang and every information about him. I want his contact now too. Do that quickly!” Mr. Black said before hanging up.“It seems s
The backlash happening
Standing at the back, Ayden was awed to the point that he couldn’t speak for a while. First, it was shocking that August knew how to draw and was able to perfectly carve out a piece. With such talent, he had rendered all the architecture departments in the company useless. The most amazing part was that he came up with this design in just a few minutes.Secondly, he wasn’t playing Mr. Black's game, but instead, he was playing his game. Mr. Black might have wanted to destroy the project just to make August suffer, but August didn’t view it like this.Though the company would face some criticism when such happened, he planned to make a comeback by building a masterpiece that would blow the entire public. Also, he had already thought of a way to curb the criticism and that was by making Mr. Wang accept the blame in exchange for a house worth two billion.Though this might be a huge loss to the company, thinking about the attention it would attract, and the deals, soon, they would recover
A comeback
“Who in the world is this twisted freak?” Mr. Wang's brows knitted together before he shifted his gaze over to Ayden. “Did you bring a conman to entertain me or what? I don’t understand this nonsense.” He added. At first, he wanted to ask about August's identity as he didn’t just condone anyone walking into his study to see him. Then he watched Ayden bow to him which seemed absurd to him and now just to make things worse, he was being told that the project which he had paid such a huge amount for would be destroyed. On what grounds? “You don’t get to insult me, Mr Wang. This is a serious matter that we can come into agreement to and I don’t think you have any choice either. So, I’m going to make you a deal.” August's expression remained indifferent as he spoke.“Who is this man again?” Mr. Wang ignored him and asked Ayden.Shivering, Ayden answered. “He is the new owner of the company. Mr. August here is the chairman.” Mr. Wang shifted his gaze back to August sizing him up. He beca
Going to see Mr wang
The office became silent for a while. Both August and David began to envision what it would be like to trap that man, leaving him with no hope of escaping. That day, he wouldn’t only reveal his intentions and list the people he was working for, that day would be the last day he ever got to keep his life again.“What do you want me to do?” David asked.“Nothing. Just wait around. If I need your help, I’ll ask for it.” August replied.“You are going out without me? What if you face a deadly foe?” David asked.“Come on, I am not that weak you know. And besides, I also need to fight stronger opponents so maybe my powers may come back earlier than expected.” August replied leaving no room for argument before striding towards the door.Just then, Ayden walked in. His expression was a lot calmer than before and also, the mess he was in had been washed off. Though the fear was still there, it wasn’t like he had any choice. He had been caught up in all this and there was no going back.“I am d
Stirring up trouble
Cough! Cough!Ayden's eyes were still red as he gasped for air on the floor. In his entire life, he had never faced a terrible situation such as today. Indeed, now he could admit that August here was scarier than me black. If he could easily push him to the edge of the broken window and threaten him, then he could as well kill him.His family wouldn’t be spared either. A great sense of fear enveloped him, and he had no choice but to take on the offer August had just given him.“Okay,” he said while caressing his sour neck. “Good. Now call Mr black and tell him that I have taken over and I am so focused on the company more than anything else.” August instructed.“Okay, sir.” Ayden was quick to pull his phone out of his pocket and dial Mr black’s number. The phone rang and on the second ring, it was picked up. Both August and David paid attention to the voice they were going to hear.“Hello, Ayden.” It was Mr. black. They were able to confirm he was the one through his voice. “What’s t
A double agent
“Ooh, is that so?” August raised a brow at him, amused by the amount of money he took and was intending to flee. Five hundred million was quite a huge sum and August was certain that it was either half of the company's annual income or it was one quarter. Yet, this man wanted to flee with it like it was his? Were people like him always this rotten?“I…” Ayden tried saying something but nothing was coming out of his mouth. He saw this as a good opportunity to leave this place and become rich. His salary was only five hundred thousand dollars yearly, and he felt it wasn’t enough. All he had to do was embezzle the company's resources and then try to cover it as much as he could, perhaps until he had left the country.He never expected that August would catch him so fast and in just their first encounter. Just who in the world is this man? Ayden was already shivering as though his body were going to melt.“Please forgive me, it’s the work of the devil. I haven’t used the money. I can stil
The company’s report
Alongside David, both of them drove to Apex Corporation. As a standard company that was worth billions, it had a unique opulence that made it stand out in the place.The building was a sleek, modern skyscraper. It stood over 50 stories high, with a gleaming glass and steel façade that reflects the city lights. The tower's design was a blend of minimalist and futuristic elements, with clean lines, sharp angles, and a spacious atrium lobby.“The sight is heavenly. It is difficult to believe that this company is now yours.” David smiled as he tried looking to the end of the building.“It means nothing. This is just to suppress me, isn’t it? I’ll play the fool for a while before confronting them at full force.” August said looking indifferent before walking towards the building. David followed him, and soon they approached the receptionist.As they got there, it felt as though the woman had been waiting for them. She wore a charming smile as she greeted.“Good morning chairman. We have al
Another threat huh?
After the call, Rachel rolled her eyes and started pacing back and forth in the room thinking of what to do. True, Caroline wasn't her child, but she was raised since she was a kid by her. It was rare to say she didn't care about her. Also, if Caroline left this house, they would no longer see each other like before, and getting rid of August wouldn't work out. If August was out of her life, they could pair her up with someone and marry her off, that way the company would be handed over to Mark. Mark was her biological son and because of this issue, he had left home. She had to do this or else she would lose her child and she didn't want that.“I have to make Caroline stay in this house. I can't let her leave!” She said to herself before walking off.On the other hand, Caroline who left went to August's room. She placed a gentle knock on the door and when he replied, and walked in.August was seated on the bed half-dressed, about to sleep when he heard her knock. He didn't have an o
