Warning: some parts have violent and disturbing scene. Please read at your own risk.** **“I am s-sorry, Sir. But Arthur, that guy, he was too strong for us. And…”Bang!One of Harry's guys, Ubert, couldn't finish what he was saying when Harry hurled the cigarette ashtray at the wall. It shattered, sending shards flying toward Arthur, and one of them nicked his cheek. Blood trickled down, but he didn't dare say a word about it.The main reason? Harry was in a terrible mood."I think I might have a hearing issue right now," Harry said with a sarcastic laugh. "I was hoping for some good news, like that useless Arthur got his butt kicked and signed the document. That's what I wanted to hear, Ubert. So, why don't you start your report over?"Shaking with fear, Ubert took a deep breath. He had been working for Harry for years and knew just how dangerous he could be."S-Sir Harry. We did everything we could to catch Mr. Arthur. But he ended up beating us, and we had no choice but to run aw
As Arthur and Sharmaine stood by the elevator, he glanced back at the twenty guards trailing behind them.He recalled a conversation he had with the Chairman two months prior: “You really need to look into your granddaughter’s bodyguards and consider hiring new ones. It’s strange that they’re armed but didn’t use their weapons when your grandchild was taken.”The fact that Sharmaine’s guards had changed and doubled in number showed that the Chairman took Arthur’s advice seriously.Ding!The elevator doors swung open with a loud noise. After Sharmaine and Arthur stepped in, the bodyguards were supposed to follow. But Sharmaine halted them.“Stay back,” she commanded.The lead bodyguard voiced his concern. “But Ma’am, it’s our duty to keep you safe.” He shot a doubtful glance at Arthur and the black bag he was holding.Sharmaine responded, “No need to do it with this man. Just follow my order, okay?”The guards couldn’t say no to the lady, so they hung back until the door shut.Sharmain
Arthur had the chance to gain wealth from the gold and treasures he possessed. Yet, he understood that revealing them to the public could raise eyebrows. In a world where cash was becoming less relevant and digital currency was taking over, discretion was key.If someone like Arthur Dwight were discovered with hidden gold, the corrupt government could easily claim it as state property. So, he decided to strike a deal with Chairman Jules instead.“If it’s you who finds the treasure, no one will bat an eye. But if I walk into a pawnshop with gold, that would raise some serious questions,” Arthur explained.Jules glanced at the gold bars and nodded. “So, you want to leverage my position to turn your treasure into cash?”“Exactly. And in return, you’ll get your fair share. I also want to propose a business partnership. I plan to invest and establish my own territory. I need influence and a name to make my mark,” Arthur continued.The Chairman pondered this. With all that money, Arthur cou
During the third conflict between Hermit and Gavor, the A.O. Army developed a battle tank called N1B2, featuring advanced armor, enhanced firepower, and superior mobility. Prior to the war's onset, General Arthur worked tirelessly to persuade the A.O. Army to back Gavor with this cutting-edge tank. His efforts paid off, leading to a significant victory for his nation at that time.Arthur was determined to achieve his goals and had little tolerance for injustice.“I’m not one to squabble over a hunk of metal, but you all are being unfair. I was the first to spot this car,” he remarked to the employee.But the employee, who judged him because of his clothes, even warned, “Sir! If you don’t calm down, I’ll have to call security to remove you.”“Excuse me,” the manager interjected, stepping into the fray. “What’s going on here?” he asked the employee.“Mr. Gotham wants to inspect the car because he’s interested in purchasing it. But this man keeps interrupting,” the employee explained.Ar
“The rights units in the right place and at the right time.” ** **General Arthur Troce was convinced that his strategy would lead his nation to triumph. It was the key to ending the relentless war between Hermit and Gavor.Equipped with the latest technology in weapons and machinery, he planned a surprise attack that would catch the enemy off guard, giving them no chance to set up a defense. This was a plan he had carefully developed over the past few weeks. But then…“General! We have a situation! The enemy’s forces were prepared for our attack! They’ve anticipated our moves!” a frantic report came to the military base.“What?!” Arthur exclaimed.He had been so certain that his plan was foolproof!‘There’s no way the enemy could have known! There has to be a traitor in my ranks!’There was a spy was hiding among his troops. And yet, he couldn’t waste time dwelling on betrayal. Arthur had to act fast and devise a new plan to shift the momentum back in their favor.“Move to base two,
Arthur found himself waking up in a hospital bed, but this time, he wasn’t lost or confused. The memories of another life flooded back to him, and he realized he had come back as a different person in a new timeline.How did this happen? He had no clue. But one thing was clear: he had been given a second shot at life.“What’s the point of starting over? I never got my revenge on the jerk who stabbed me in the back,” he muttered while sitting on the hospital bed.Once he was fully awake, he grabbed his phone to look up information about the war.If it weren’t for the memories he carried, he would have been blown away by how much technology had advanced since his original time.In any case, his name had once been etched in history. His country emerged victorious, bringing an end to the fighting. But after his death, no one noted that he had been betrayed by those he trusted. Instead, history painted him as a coward who fled in the midst of battle."This is so unfair! Why were the record
After getting back on his feet from that head injury, Arthur decided to swing by the bank to see how much cash he had left.“What did you say?” he asked the bank clerk, a bit confused.The clerk replied, “You signed a contract stating that if anything happened to you, all your funds would go to your wife’s family account. Your brother-in-law informed us you were in the hospital and provided a medical certificate. They mentioned you might not make it. So, based on that contract, we transferred the money from your account, Sir.”“Ha,” he chuckled bitterly.His in-laws were worse than he had thought. Not only were they the reason he ended up in the hospital, but they also swiped his hard-earned cash!Feeling broke, he left the bank. Just then, his phone buzzed with a message from his boss.“Where are you?! We’ve got a ton of orders today. If you don’t show up, I’ll have to kick you out!” his boss complained.Arthur sighed, "Man, if I could just track down my gold, I wouldn't have to stre
“You mentioned I haven’t seen millions or billions. I hate to break it to you, but you’re mistaken. I’ve got money that’s three times, no, maybe even TEN TIMES what you have.”Arthur was not lying. The money and treasures he stashed away were the fruits of his relentless labor as the hero of their nation. He intended to save it and use it to aid his people once the war was over.This was wealth substantial enough to save an entire island. So, Mr. Chain’s money and buildings couldn’t even begin to compare to what Arthur possessed. But…“Pfft…”Lea and Mr. Chain scoffed at Arthur.“Arthur, are you seriously hearing yourself? You think a delivery boy like you has more money than Mr. Chain? Have you lost your mind? Maybe that bump on your head scrambled your brain,” Lea mocked her husband.“Your husband is not just a pathetic loser; he’s completely out of touch with reality,” Mr. Chain spat out. He turned to Arthur and declared, “Listen up, Mr. Dwight. I’m the wealthiest man in this City.
