Darnell didn't even get the chance to finish his explanation as Arnold slapped him again.Arnold was so frustrated that he could hardly control himself.He pointed at Darnell and shouted. “You imbecile, that bitch Helena behaves like an idiot who looks down on everyone!... Do you even know what she did that forced the King of the North to wish to terminate her contract?”“That…”“Shut it!” Arnold bellowed. “One of her men pushed the daughter of the King of the North and got her injured. However, instead of apologizing and making amends, she went as far as to threaten the King of the North, vowing to use her clout to turn the public opinion against him!... A national hero!... What level of insanity is that!?”“This…” Darnell could hardly believe his ears, his eyes widened in shock as he stared at Arnold.“Now do you understand what she's gotten herself into?... Do you think she can get away with treating the King of the North like that?... The three War Gods our country has all recogni

“How many people are inside the hotel at the moment?” Elijah asked with Leo responding.“There are more than three hundred people currently, sir. I've already instructed our men to put together a name list of all the people there. The mercenaries are yet to make a move for now. However, I believe it will take less than ten minutes for them to seize control of the hotel after the hotel's management is fully subdued. Their goal is to hold the city to ransom to force us to make a choice.”The rebels and Elijah were bound by a blood feud.Elijah had annihilated more than a hundred thousand rebels on the battlefield in the past so it was expected that they would wish to have their pound of flesh.“Who is leading the mercenaries?”“The Sixth Disaster, Chronos.”Elijah's expression darkened as he remarked. “Understood, gather all the troops and meet me there.”“Yes, general!”Once the call dropped, Elijah rushed out of the bedroom only to find Claire standing outside, clutching her doll.“Da

As Chronos communicated with the burly man in a foreign language, Alice froze as she recognized the language as the national language of the nation, Crimea.According to what was known to the public, Crimea shared a border with Avalon and was a known rival.What was known to a few knowledgeable fellows, though, was that not only were they rivals, but Crimea had been the ones financing the chaos at the northern border by funding the rebels and helping them with weapons as well as fighters.To think that Crimea had not given up just yet. Just then, a young man next to Alice muttered. “Pretty girl, can you tell?... These men are from Blackrock. If I'm not mistaken, that man over there is a decorated general from Crimea and also a member of the Thirteen Disasters, Chronos, otherwise known as The Freak of Time.”“How do you know that?”The young man chuckled. “I have my ways. If I could guess, he has taken us hostage in an attempt to force the War God out of hiding so he would kill him.”

Thomas words were enough to shock even the police officers because they weren't used to such aggressive words.They were even worried that his anger would end up worsening the situation.Imagine their surprise when Chronos says nothing back, instead moving to show himself on the balcony of the hotel.One of the snipers that the police had brought along was foolish enough to try and snipe him only for the bullet to be repelled like it was a pebble.Chronos glared at the offending party and a moment later, the individual let out an agonizing scream before passing out.“Damn it!” The police commissioner was about to order his men to shoot, but Thomas spoke up.“If any police officer dares to shoot, kill them.” The order silenced the commissioner and the policemen he was ordering.None of them expected Thomas to say such a thing.Wasn't he just antagonizing both parties at this point?But then Thomas didn't bother explaining as he stared at Chronos with the latter looking back at him. S

Clenching his fist, Elijah swam up to the surface, gasping as he reached the top where there was no water.He reached out and grabbed the cover only to realize it was sealed shut.But that was no problem for him as he put out two fingers and coated it with spiritual energy before using it to cut a hole large enough for him to pass through.He was careful not to make any sound as he stepped out and quickly hid to avoid being discovered.Taking a moment to scope out the area, Elijah discovered that Chronos had taken a number of precautions to avoid being blindsided.From drones to guards to even security cameras.Everything was set up so that there was no blindspot.The current situation took him back to a mission he did in the past when he had to infiltrate enemy camps to slay their leader.And just like back then, Elijah was determined to finish successfully.Meanwhile, those who were watching saw as the fake War God moved to a blind spot in the cameras, after which he began to climb
