Stab, the head of the Black axe confraternity was talking to his superiors, the imperial lord of the Black axe confraternity. He had earlier reported how Jake and his privately hired military squad thrashed them, even the guts Jake had to step on their toes that provoked them.Stab needed to exert revenge on him."I want permission to take along the strongest of our confraternity to eliminate Jake. No one dares or defile Black axe confraternity and goes Scott free" Stab said, with his heads facing down. He was kneeling down before three imperial lord's who sat majestically in the "thrones of axe" thrones that wield their ancestors spirit man.The Black axe confraternity is merely one of the mafia group that makes up the city Triad. If Jake reports to them that the president general doesn't have the silver ring anymore and they in turn report to the triads Lords. They'd be promoted above the other two confraternities that makes up the Triad.Stab was still facing the floor impatiently
Presently at the black axe Confraternity home. Jake and his entourage had been let him after he stated his reason for his impromptu coming and now they were having further discussion with the imperial lords."You take me off your death list and I tell you a vital information that will rank you above the other two Confraternities...." Jake proposed..With no gap in time, they resolutely came to a conclusion, Jake is of the Black axe death list and they now have a vital information to rank them above the other two Confraternities.. The imperial lord didn't believe them at first, until Jake showed them the video Hannah sent to him earlier on.One could calm the exchange Trade By BarterAnyone who has the silver ring can control the triad and the triad hated being controlled, thus they wanted the silver ring for themselves, furthermore the person who now posseses the ring doesn't even know it's use. Before now, they only obeyed the president who in turn has power and authority because of
Meanwhile, Stoic and Legacy were Preparing a birthday present for their mother. She thought her children had forgotten and didn't even bother to remind them. She was even nervous and filled with "what if thoughts..." about tomorrow..."Cut the chase....Go Straight to the point... Why did you asked me to meet you here? " Mark inquired as he unlocked the warm embrace and sat on the chair just besides the one Flora sat on, just in front of the counter.."What may I offer you?" The bartender immediately came over and requested. Meantime, Flora was dragging a shaking breathe into her lungs as she sat on her seat."Just a bottle of water...." Mark answered the bar tender who was impatiently waiting for Mark's order to be placed. With that said, the bartender turned and walked away, most likely to fetch the bottle of water."Bottle water? Wow my son has grown to become such a responsible powerful figure!" Flora muttered to herself. Though she is in her 50's, she still looked like she was in
Stoic, Legacy and Jennifer glanced at themselves wryly, they Intuitively knew what he was trying to do, but nevertheless followed the flow. But, however stick to their plan."Yes!" They said in unison, almost excitedly.“Don’t look, don’t look . . .” Diana laughed. “I’m not looking.” There were hands over her eyes: Mark's hands, slim and flexible. His arms were around her, and they were shuffling forward together, laughing. He’d grabbed her the moment she’d walked in the front door, wrapping his arms around her as her whistle dropped from her hands. “I have a surprise for you,” he’d said, grinning. “Close your eyes. No looking. No, really. I’m not kidding.” “I hate surprises,” Diana protested now. She could perceive the scent of the man holding her, it was the president general and she intuitively knew that. "Let go of me!" She agitated but Mark didn't let go. Diana was wondering what people would say about the all of sudden closeness between her and the president general who w
It was now morning,the day is bright and sunny. It didn't take long for Diana to arrive at the president general unit to meet the president general as she was to check him to confirm if he was fit to fight. When she got there, she found Mark ready too, in his snow-white coat, just like a martial art master in Kung Fu movies. It had buttons as well.Mark choose the clothing as it was very light and convenient. Besides, it will much more easier for him to exert strength with it. A light flick of the coat can cause serious damage. To check for it's authenticity he flicked it powerfully and it caused a loud thud that resounded the air. The snow white clothing accentuated his composure and elegancy.The flick sounded like a whip against a millstone.Diana could imagine how painful it would definitely be against someone's skin. With a dumbstruck expression, she asked Mark 'Are you sure you're ready for this combat? May it not be that you're not a skilled martial artist..."Mark let out a
Back at the VIP room provided for them to rest, someone had taken Diana's first aid box and replaced it with another first aid box but was however undetected as it was done very swiftly and skillfully.Each of the first box contained same "Stuff" except for two particular injections. If you see the two injections in the original first aid box and compared it to the other two on the substitute first aid box, one would think they're the same except you test for their content. The formers content was a quick energy booster and the former was a bodily paralyzer.Presently, Diana is holding the first aid box with injections that exactly looked like and are branded like a glucose injection but, however filled with contents that when inserted into one's system would paralyze whoever for life.Hannah knew it was under a must she would administer the glucose injection into Mark's system after the round one and then she would launch her attack.Diana's heart was pounding..... Richarlison's hea
All of a sudden, the both of them appeared in front of Mark like a bolt of lightning, thier claws aiming directly for his neck, obviously for his life. Although such performance might impress an amateur but not an expert. Mark leaped backward and before he could improvise his killer technique 'Hmmmp!'The sound of a bell echoed through the air.....A signal round one was over! The grandwar masters withdrew, so did Mark as well. In a jiffy, the fighting pitch was empty. Just the stains of blood on the ground. Meanwhile, some army medicals were taking the dead body of the dead grandwar officer off the area. Some, were cleaning off his blood.Mark came down the fighting pitch, the spears had been drawn off into the ground leaving the holes with which they protrude out. The pitch about three metres higher to meet Diana. He looked very exhausted as he slumped to the ground. The effect of the shockwave that hit him earlier was still intact.Diana realizing she had to get the president ge
Meantime. Hannah had an evil smirk on her face. She will finally suffer 'Hahaha" she scofffed internally.Diana's blinked her eyes in confusion when she heard what the bloody civilians just said .."They're accusing me wrongly and setting me up" She barked, she needed no soothsayer to say she is been set up, but who could be setting her up?"What's her motive? She had just been caught trying to poison me..." Mark clenched his fist in anger. How dare this woman do such? "Believe me... I have never met with this men before. This is my first time seeing them. I have never had any dealings with them!" Diana tried defending herself. Mark is caught in rage, Owens too and even Richarlison.Who'd think that this seemingly ordinary lady would go this far? But what's her ulterior motive?One of the bloody civilians added, "She is working for the mega island to help annihilate you!" The mega island was an island and posed major threat to sterling city and as such they were natural enemies. Th
Meantime,Anamika on the other hand was restless when the thoughts of Diana probed into her mind.She was seated close to her sleeping mum on the bed, but was completely absent minded. Then her phone chirped with a message, she dug her hands into her pocket and unearthed the phone. She quickly navigated to the message centre and saw the message from her secret lover, and it read,"Diana's children are illegitimate, no one knows their father!".Diana was stunned that she clenched her fist anxiously. She had told her secret lover to find out about Diana's children father, providing him with the necessary details to do so.The kids sure has a resemblance with the five star general and about six years old. Anamika suddenly became sensitive especially while trying to discern and connect the dots.She was now feeling like it was a necessary prerequisite to be aware of everything about Diana now! Aside being the four star general and a mother to triplets? What else?Deep down,she could not
At the end of the day. It was a successful surgery for Otani and he was now rehabilitating in the military rehab unit.Words had gone out. Jason, mega Island god of war received the news on time. "Someone killed Flora and his son?" His phone fell from his hands and scattered into smithereens on the hard floor.He was coaching his men for the battle ahead, which was tomorrow when the call arrived....."This had better not be true...... No, no, no, no ....." However, there was an oddness. He didn't wince in pain. His facial expression were devoid of any kind of pain. It was blank and cold. That was common with the god of wars... However, his heart was racing and he was filled with thoughts when his Personal Assistant walked up to him and handed him a phone. "Your son wants to speak with you ..." He said.Jason quickly grabbed the phone when he heard that...two different thoughts were left now and the both assailed him."Hello Dad, I'm fine...." The voice at the other end spoke out qui
Jake and his men were at a T junction. Otani was handcuffed, leg-cuffed and blindfolded, he was made to kneel down before Jake's car.Jake's Mercedes G-wagon was in front while three Lexus cars parked behind it like a fleet. Jake was sitting in the passenger seat in front while some of his men secured the perimeters. Two of his men stood side by side to the car he was in, they both wore a black suit and their hands dipped underneath their jacket like special protection unit.In a jiffy, the van carrying Flora arrived and Flora was forcefully dragged down by one of the vans occupant.When Richarlison noticed the van had stopped about 300 metres away. He paid the cab driver and alighted. The cab driver was clever that the van driver didn't notice the cab was trailing him.Richarlison thanked the driver before he entered the rubber tree plantation that surrounded the whole vicinity. He needed to get a clear shot of who Flora was meeting with, and most importantly why?Soon, he was hidin
In Northeast of the continent, there lies the sambisa forest which is regarded as niche of the Wagnar group of soldiers led by Mr Kane.Mr Kane is the father of Bernard who is now Jake. He is the step father of Mark the president general. Many years ago him and his late wife abducted Mark as their son.Mark grew up with Bernard (Jake). They got separated when Jake was sent to prison for murdering the families maid. Jake is indeed innocent of the crime and now he was exerting his vengeance on Mark because Mark knew all that happened but didn't unveil the real truth and as a result of that, Bernard was sent to prison.Mrs Kane, Bernards mum died shortly after Bernard was sent to prison and because of that, Mr Kane withdrew more to himself and became the fierce leader of the Wagner group of soldiers.Bernard had gotten out from prison few year later, after he experienced a serious fire-burn while in prison. He did plastic surgery and his facials changed. He started working as a security
Mark was back at his chambers thinking of how to go about his investigation after so many failed attempts . His instinct told him Diana was innocent of the crime of burning the ammunition house but however, clearly she is guilty for breaching the military rule and all evidence pointed out that she was guilty of both crimes.The most gruesome of the two crimes Diana is supposedly a prime suspect of is the crime of burning down the Ammunition House two days to a major war that will determine the future of Sterling city.Mark was deep in thoughts that he didn't know when Richarlison walked in. He was so much worried of exoneration good Diana's penance. He didn't want her executed. He had only 23 hours left."Sir!" Richarlison saluted. Mark didn't respond, he obviously didn't hear him."Sir!" He saluted again, this time more loudly that it jolted Mark from the land of thoughts."What?" Mark asked brusquely, rather tiresomely. He has been unable to catch a sleep for the last 24 hours becau
" Kill her!" "Execute her!""Make her experience the most gruesome death!"The crowd started to chant, it was not a surprise to all of them that someone such as Diana could commit such a big crime. Afterall, they are trained to never trust anyone."Silence!" Mark walked up to the microphone and said coldly. He was finding it hard to believe, yes, he had seen Diana and her mum walking towards that direction. Why did Diana go close enough when she knew it was a violation of the military rule?The next moment, the chants died down and the peace and graveyard silence was restored, everyone was anticipating Mark's judgement.Then some officer walked up the large podium, holding Diana, so, she doesn't get the chance to do anything drastic. "Leave me alone! I -" Diana wanted to complain but a stern and icy cold look from Mark shut her off, she was shocked and heartbroken. Mark of all people should know she can't do anything of such, but it seem like he doesn't even want to hear her own sid
Mark began to speak into the microphone,"We've encountered a huge loss in our ammunition sector just two days before we wage a war against the Mega Island military...and that puts us at a great disadvantage".. he cleared his throat, After a moment of dreadful silence and then continued."And as we speak, they may lunch their attack on us anytime soon. We need to be prepared for the worse to happen...", As he spoke, no one dared make a noise. There was a graveyard silence as everyone listened attentively with fear gripping their hearts.Then he continued.. "We're all aware that this ammunition building that was burnt down house all the sterling city military ammunition and it costed sterling city government billions of dollars, however, as the president general I'll be held responsible and I'm ready to face all the necessary panels...." everyone could see the hard look in his eyes as he turned to face the grand war king and grandwar masters. Then he cleared his throat before he conti
Diana was a only a few metres away from the villa when an officer approached her and saluted her, subsequently giving her some papers. It was met for the president general and since she was now his vice personal assistant, she could handle it.As she flipped the papers , she heard someone call her name from behind. She turned and surprisingly it was Flora. The president generals mother."Hi!!!!" She said with a forced smile. She didn't like Diana from the onset because the love she ought to be getting from her son were all going straight to her or atmost being shared between the both of them.Yes, she was that kind of mother..."Hi, Good evening ma'am!" Diana greeted respectfully, even though Flora ought to be the one to greet her.In the military base, age is just a number... Even if you're 70, it's your duty to obey your superior even if he or she is 10 years old."How are you? " Flora inquired,Gradually she successfully initiated a conversation with Diana and it was going well. A
Mark is usually very pretentious of his own good, so, naturally, and as usual, he would deny something as such but he couldn't - He only Coughed! - "Just came to check up on you as you couldn't came to check up on your mother... And yea, I understand why. You care for her much more than you do for me!" Flora again broke the silence. As she walked all over the room."I'm sorry mum, she is going through alot and I need to be by her side.... Her ex-husband has just legally taken her Triplets away from her..." Mark explained and then seized the opportunity to backlash his mum for abandoning him."She cares for them... Unlike some people I know...." He added as he leaned over to Diana who was changing her sleeping posture. He thought something had gone wrong with her or unsettled her - that explains how deep he cares for her -Flora was sensitive and she knew Mark was getting at her with what he said. It was indeed wrong for her to have left him all alone..she failed. Even his dad failed
