The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed An act
“Rachel?” August couldn’t believe his eyes. His mother-in-law was here inviting him for dinner. This had never happened before. She hated him to the core, always berating him for no reason, and worst of it, never had she offered him food.If not for Caroline, she wouldn’t do it. And now, on her accord, she was here inviting him? Shortly after they wanted him to divorce Caroline? Something was fishy. He could smell it.Sensing his hesitation, she frowned. “I know I’ve not been a good mother-in-law to you, but now I want to make a difference. I can see Caroline likes you so much. She even stood up challenging her grandmother that she wasn’t going to divorce you. “I can see how you support her company's progress and I won’t lie, I feel you are the best one for Caroline. Since you can now walk, I have no issues accepting you. Taking this dinner as an act of apology for how I’ve berated you these past few years.” Rachel expressed herself with teary eyes hoping he could find a place in his
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed Where have you been going?
Creak! The cranking sound of a wheelchair resounded in a pathway as a young man in his late twenties wheeled himself toward his wife's room to meet her. As his hand reached for the doorknob and was about to pull it, he heard a furious roar. “Let me guess, you are leaving again, aren't you? Is that what you have come to tell me? Huh? August reed! Tell me! Is that what you came to tell me?” Caroline, his wife who was drowned in her never-ending thoughts, upon noticing it was him, bellowed with red eyes. “Yes, I have to go, Caroline. But I promise I won't take long,” August replied as he went ahead to push the door open and wheeled in. Hearing this, Caroline was more furious. The frown on her face deepened, and she looked around looking for something she could use to vent her anger on him. Just then, she caught a glimpse of a glass cup beside her and without thinking twice, she grabbed it and hurled it at him. Ever since she married August, her life had never been the same.
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed Nothing to offer
“A divorce?” August repeated the words as he clenched his fist tightly. Though he could see she was trying to intimidate him into giving out what she wanted to hear but then, in no circumstances was he ready to part ways with her. “I still love you. I won't agree to the divorce.” He said with a straight face, and she was forced to look at him. “Is that so? Then tell me the truth, or do you want to be forced to say it? Remember no one gives a damn about you and if you keep pushing me to the wall, you will hate it!” She said in a threatening tone. Although divorcing him wouldn't be that easy, not because she wasn't willing but because her grandmother who forced the marriage upon her just to subdue her wouldn’t want the divorce to go through. “It's better if you don't know. Moreover, it isn't like it will be beneficial to you.” August said helplessly. “So it's true, huh?” She suddenly said, and her hand flew to her mouth. Lately, she had been hearing rumors and his stubbornness
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed One more day, please
Inhaling deeply, August clutched the edge of his wheelchair and tried to lift himself. Perhaps if he was able to reach where Caroline was and hug her to console her, then she might stop crying. That was what he thought, but it didn't seem like his legs agreed to it. The more he tried, the harder it was for him but he kept trying. Caroline, who was crying looked up to see this, and a smirk curled up on her sorrowful face. “What are you planning to do? Get up with those condemned legs? “You are helpless already so I see no reason why you'll want to waste your energy. Have you forgotten you wanted to leave before? Just save that energy for your mistress. I'm sure she will need it.” Caroline rebuked coldly and even chuckled to her heart of contempt. However, August ignored her and kept on trying to get up. He was determined to prove her wrong, but first, his legs had to agree to it. He kept pushing. His teeth gritted as he cursed at his weakness. He used to be a fearsome man, som
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed Sign it!
August didn't bother about sparing her a glance, instead, he was stunned by the recent changes in his body. His legs were now fitted to walk, and he could feel his Qi circulating all over his body including this leg.This was only possible as he usually visited a secret military rehabilitation program just so he could find a cure for his legs. And for the fact that he wanted to leave the military, he had to pay these expenses out of his pocket.That was what was going on for three years now. Every day in a month he went on for this treatment, but it seemed his actions were misinterpreted, and now he was being accused of having another mister and even spending much money to give her a lavish life. A frown etched on August's face as he thought about all these before finally taking a step and his feet moved. He didn't feel any numbness nor was any pain circulating his system. He felt lightweight just like before.But then, Rachel who was watching him didn't seem pleased by this. So, no
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed You are just a woman!
“Shut up! How dare you? Are you in the right state of your mind at all? Or has your brain turned into dust? How dare you talk to your brother like that?” Ms Winston retorted furiously with knitted lines on her forehead. She had always regarded the males in the family to be the stronghold and also the backbone of the family whereas someone like Caroline could never hold a torch to them. How dare she talk like that when she was just a housewife? She was supposed to be at home taking care of her crippled husband and thus was supposed to hand over the company at once, yet, she was seemingly stubborn. It seemed she had to be taught a thorough lesson. Seeing she was siding with him as expected, Mark felt more thrilled. Now he was sure Caroline would have no choice but to give in. “Look here, I am warning you for the last time. Take that pen and sign off the ownership of the company to your brother or else I won't hesitate to kick you out of the family. “You should be grateful that your
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed Just a lowlife!
Seeing who emerged, everyone was shocked to the bones. August reed in the flesh? And shockingly he was walking on two feet? Wasn't he supposed to be on his chair forever and should be at home helping out with the dishes? These were Ms. Winston and Mark's thoughts as they stared at him. Meanwhile, August walked towards his wife who was standing close to the table. The cold aura varnished as soon as he set his eyes on her. There was nothing but emotions stirring inside him and now that he could finally walk again, of course, he would stand by her side and make sure she was never bullied. “August?” Caroline muttered in shock. Not long ago, she left him at home, still seated on the will chair so what in the world was going on? Hearing her say his name, his heart fluttered, but right after, he grabbed the documents on the table. Without going through it, he clasped the edge and tore it into pieces. Then he threw it off on the floor. This immediately made both Mark and Ms Winston fum
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed Meeting trusted ally’s
After August and his wife left the villa, he led her into the car and drove off to their house. All along, Caroline didn’t say anything nor could she bring herself to be harsh to him anymore. He was no longer the cripple but someone strong who had just defended her from her family who wanted to take over everything she painstakingly built. In thirty minutes, they arrived home. Once again August led her to her room and tucked her under the sheet. She hadn’t been getting enough sleep ever since and tomorrow she would be busier, it would be better if she got enough rest lest she get dark circles around her eyes. “Take some rest okay? We will go to your company tomorrow, and you will handle things,” August said as he wrapped the sheet around her and also kissed her forehead. He was about to go when she grabbed his hand. He twirled his head only to find her eyes that had emotion in them. Furthermore, he knew she wanted to apologize and thanked him for defending her, but he didn’t thin

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
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
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
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,
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
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
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
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
