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

    “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

    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

    The room became silent as footsteps could be heard coming towards the entrance. A gust of wind seemed to have blown in full force from that direction as well, causing the entire place to tremble.When the voice spoke, it felt like it seized the tension in the room, making it plummet to total heat even though there was air conditioning in the room. Slowly and steadily, two silhouettes emerged with imposing auras.Mr Black's eyes widened as he stared in the direction. His heart shivered violently inside his chest as though it was going to fly out of his mouth.“August…reed!” He gasped, while August smiled at him. This made his face look pale, as though he was drenched in a bucket of ice.“Happy to see me? Or are you too shocked to say anything?”’ August spoke as he walked further into the room. Mr. Wang was already jubilating, but that wasn’t the end. His family was held hostage by Mr. black men and any reckless move would warrant them to be killed.He couldn’t help but tell August so

    Snap! Snap!Snap!Soon, August dislocated more of his joints, forcing a louder scream from his mouth. Each one was painful from the last and by now, he didn’t look like he would last any longer.His body was now drenched in sweat, his entire system was hurting, and he could barely even keep his eyes open, yet he refused to say a thing. August began to wonder if the people he was protecting were more important than his life.How far would he go for them? He was ready to face all this torture and still not give in? August was amused, but that didn’t mean he was going to stop. Thinking about what was taken away from him, how he was almost driven to death and crippled for three years, August felt he could still tolerate dislocating all his joints.“He’s stubborn,” David admitted as he stood by the door intending to stop anyone from coming in. “I wonder how long he can hold on. I have the whole day to torture him though.” August smiled as he continued, but then, suddenly, a deadly aura e

    Both August and David, who were boiling in anger, were forced to turn towards the door only to see a short man with a pot belly, clad in a suit standing by the door with two guards.His eyes swept around the room and having seen the bodies that were lying on the floor, he was able to confirm that his hunch was right. Earlier, when August and David walked in and didn’t seem to patronize the hotel officials to book a reservation, he could tell at once that they were here to make trouble.Also, the state in which Mr. Wang was when he hurriedly left the hotel was enough to alert them that something was going on. Having no choice, he came to check only to find such a sight.“Are…you guys criminals?” He asked again after being replied with silence.August didn’t say anything to him. He merely looked at David and gestured at him to leave with him before heading towards the door. But before he could get to it, the manager slid over and blocked his path.“You don’t expect me to watch you leave

  • The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed   Speak of the devil!

    Caroline tried to pull her hand away, but he was a little too aggressive as he pulled her. Also, what he said was still recycled in her head making her wonder in what way she was able to make their mother cry. It wasn’t like they fell out this morning, but then, Caroline was still angry at her for trying to poison August.Now connecting the dots, it just didn’t make sense. Before she knew it, both of them were already in the house, only to be welcomed by the sight of Rachel seated on the couch and crying so hard. Her eyes were swollen, and occasionally, she kept drying her tears with a towel. In summary, she was in a terrible state.Caroline was struck by such sight only for Mark to pour it all out on her. “How dare you make her cry? You were supposed to look after her just like how she carried you for nine months, look after you still you have gotten to this level. Yet, you made her cry? Are you even human at all?” Mark bashed her, leaving her speechless and looking for what to say

  • The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed   A serious problem

    “August, you are back?” Caroline smiled as she turned towards the door. It felt like it had been forever since she had since him. His face, his body, it felt like he was a piece of art she had yet to study, explore, and understand. Does this mean she was longing for him? Caroline quickly brushed the thoughts off and walked towards him.“I’ve been waiting for you. Where have you been?” Her hand slid into his and she intertwined their fingers. Her warmth surged unto him and all the anger he was feeling before washed away. He smiled and looked at her. “It seems you miss me so much.” He teased.“And I called you ten times. Did you care to call back or check your phone?” She stared daggers at him and her lips pouted.“Tch, perhaps he is seeing another woman outside.” Standing by the side, Mark was irritated by the sight. She was all chummy and smiling with him like he was someone who deserved her. He felt August was filth and never deserved to be around her or anywhere near the house. He

    “What? How is that even possible? Producing fake products? That isn’t like your company, right? Besides, it doesn't have such records until now. What the heck is going on?” August held his chin as he spoke. Already he could tell someone was behind this. He could likely say it was Mark, but how could he make such a big influence? August thought deeply.“I don’t know. I’ve made sure to supervise the production of these products and went to the warehouse to check, but I can’t find any fault with it. I don’t know where the fault might be. And I’m not sure my clients are in the wrong else why would so many of them come at me at once?” Caroline explained.“I am just so tired.” She walked further in and took off her heels. Her body became weak from the thought of what was going on, draining all the energy she had in her body.“Have you talked to the sales department?” August turned towards her.“Yes, I did. “ She nodded.“Who is responsible for all the warehouses? I’ll say it’s the sales de

    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

  • 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
