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 Find a way to keep her at bay
Hearing this, Rachel's eyes widened. All she wanted was to kill August but nothing else. If Caroline was to eat that food, then of course she would be the one to die. Not only could this cause a huge crisis in the family, but also, as her mother, she wouldn't want such a thing to happenOn the other hand, August didn't have the intention of letting her eat it. Though this poison might take a while to kill him, as for Caroline he wouldn't say the same thing as after all, she was just a normal human with no abilities.Moreover, Caroline had already taken a chunk when Rachel dragged it off her hand, kept it back in the plate, and took it away. She didn't say anything else, but her actions had already proven that what August said was true.August was about to stop her too but when he noticed Rachel's panicked expression, he let her do it, so the truth could be revealed. Now it wouldn't seem as though he was trying to frame her.“Ooh my God, she poisoned the food?” The realization dawned o
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed 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
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed 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
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed 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 Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed 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
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed 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
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed 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

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
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
