Not entirely bad
Shortly after they left, about ten men emerged from the shadows. Two stood in front, having some ancient sword strapped on their backs. One had a scar on his face and was bald. He looked quite bulky with bulging muscles here and there, as though it was going to tear out the military attire he was clad in. Coupled with that, he had a deadly aura surrounding him, and even the earth seemed to have vibrated violently as soon as he emerged. His gaze locked on ahead, and he spoke. “Hmph, so that's the man who has achieved the legendary grandmaster level? If that's true, then why is he running away?” “Perhaps the rumors are just rumors, but there is nothing to be certain about. What do you think, Rhino?” The man standing close to him spoke. He had a low cut and was clad in military attire too. Though he was a god of war, one wouldn't get the impression as quickly as the other man, who was named Rhino. “Shut up, Jinx. Let's go after him and finish him off. I'm still wondering
Using him as a ladder
“Huh, you actually want to die, don’t you?” Rhino roared as he felt insulted by what he just heard. He had fought countless battles. Some masters had died in his hands, but none had ever been so bold as to tell him such a thing to his face. Yet this man was?Wasn't he digging his grave too soon already?“And you think you are worthy of killing me? Dream on.” August felt like laughing out loud as he saw how determined the man was to strike him down. If he were such an easy person to deal with, he would have died a long time ago.“Is that so? Then I won’t stand on ceremony with you.” Rhino stuck his tongue out and licked his lips. Wouldn’t it be nice if he killed this arrogant punk and took the money all to himself?Everyone might have thought he was in the early stage of grandmaster level, but they were mistaken. He had achieved more. He was already at the late stage, and soon he would break through his bottleneck into the legendary grandmaster level, just where August was. Today, if
A one sided battle
“This…” Rhino stuttered as his eyes widened, almost like they would fall out of their sockets.“How…how is this possible?” Jinx also gasped in shock. Right there, August had merely used a stick engulfed with Qi to block their attacks like it was nothing. In fact, it was useless for them to use a sword to attack. Just a mere stick could subdue their power?It would have made a lot of sense if he had used something that was metal-like, engulfed it with his Qi to block their attack, but still, he was expected to stumble back, but not them. This was such an insult indeed.August looked at them, and seeing the shocking gazes on their faces, he smirked and decided to lecture the fools.“It doesn't matter what I use. Even a rubber can block against your strike as long as it’s been swathed with concentrated Qi. As you can see, I am stronger than both of you combined; that’s why my weapon didn’t waver at all. In fact, this mere stick that had my Qi swathed on it is actually stronger than your
We need to bring him back
“Huh? What?” Not only Jinx but everyone was stunned. He was going to let him go like that?They wanted to ask but Jinx, who was the subject here, raced them to it, as after all, it was about his life. “Can I go? Do you mean it?” He asked, his eyes beaming with hope.“I can change my mind if you like.” August frowned.“No, please don’t. I’ll leave now.” He said, and with that, he stood up and dashed away with all the strength and speed he could muster.Everyone watched him running away for his life, and even though the scene was so funny to watch, no one had such time to kick up a fuss about it. “Why did you let him go?” David asked.“Well, I am sending a message to not just the council but the other generals. Don’t worry, he won’t live for so long.”No one knew the details of what he meant, but they didn’t dwell on the matter for long. Since he let Jinx go and said it was to send a message, they naturally believed him and wouldn’t question his order.“Shadow, how are you feeling?” A
A message?
At the same time, in the reservation where Bruce and the other generals were.They had all taken a different lodge for each of themselves since Bruce had assigned them four ladies each, even for himself. One could only imagine the kind of ungodly things going on behind closed doors, as moans and giggles could be heard as time went on.The ladies were seemingly enjoying themselves, and even the men seemed to be basking in pleasure. However, all that came to an end after someone rushed into the place.It was Jinx. He knew the location, as, after all, he was asked to report in after completing it. However, though he was disgusted by what these men were doing at such times, he just couldn’t bring himself to complain about it. They had a bigger issue at hand.“General Enderson, come out now!” Jinx roared as he was clueless as to which room to look into first. Besides how he yelled, they were supposed to be alerted that something was wrong.But then his thoughts were actually wrong. His r
You guys are trapped
“What does he mean? We didn’t directly get involved with what happened to August, did we? How will he come after us?”After digesting what Bruce had said not long ago, they all refused to agree to it. All they did was to receive money so they could stand with Bruce, and now they only sent a few men to kill August.Though they lost some men, it was their loss but not his. They didn’t kill him, nor were they even able to injure him. If anyone was deserving of an apology, then it was them. August shouldn’t pursue this matter and come after them. It didn’t make sense, right?“What do we do now?” Mateo.“Well, we can just go back to base like nothing happened. I think this is the right time we listen to Maxwell. Besides I feel August still has no way to win. He has a few hours left before he will be dragged out.” Dave spoke next.“And if it comes down to it. We will have to fight. We didn’t make it to the position we were just with mere words. Each of us here is a powerful cultivator. So
Even after three years?
Bruce said anxiously. Since the situation had turned out to be like this, and it felt like he had reached the end of a path where a wall was standing strong to block his way, however, with this plan he had just devised, it felt like he now had a jackhammer to bring down that wall and force his way through. In the game of survival, one has to use every available piece, or else one would lose. How could he accept this when there was a way out? However, there was silence on the other side of the phone. He didn’t notice at first as he was so lost in his thoughts, but after a while he did.“Whitefang, why aren’t you saying anything?” He asked.“Actually, Caroline, Maddie left the country long ago. August is way smarter than we think. He seems to have predicted our move even before it happened.”“Why don’t you send someone to abduct them on the way?”“They are being escorted by Logan and Bruce. They have tough experts with them and have been on high speed. I am very sure that they had gott
Having no choice
“And who is this black eye?” Ezekiel asked with a frown on his face as he walked to the front.“You don’t know? You can ask the others. They don’t seem as clueless as you are.” Alpha Five said with a grin, referencing his colleagues—Enderson and the others. When he looked, and saw the pale expression on them, it felt like the answers he wanted to hear were written on their faces.“August is the Black Eye, huh? Why hasn’t Bruce given the order already? How many hours are left?” He asked.“Or is he playing us? Why is he delaying? If he had given out the order already, these men wouldn’t be patrolling here or even think of caging us here.” Dave chimed in.“Let’s break through the barrier. What are we? We are the top generals, an entire force of our own. These men, there are only six of them. How can we not take them on?” Matoe spoke next.The whole thing felt like an insult to them. Even if it was August himself who was here, could he dare to be this arrogant to them? Did he want to die
Maxwell’s hidden agenda
There were about fifteen minutes left before the order would be passed on and every military person would be patrolling the country to get hold of August and drag him out of the country either dead or alive.Who knows what countermeasures they are preparing to take, but in the meantime, August was standing in front of the White House where President Oliver was.This wasn’t an ambush; instead, he wanted to have a few discussions with him. How it would go depended on how the other party would receive him. The White House was a grand, neoclassical building with a striking facade. It featured six Ionic columns on the north and south fronts, with a central balcony on the second floor. The building's exterior was made of white-painted sandstone, with a mix of rectangular and Palladian windows. The iconic north façade has a portico with columns, while the south façade has a semicircular porch. As a place where the president was staying, it was expected to have very tight security. There
A sly fox!
“What…are you doing here? You must be August Reed, right?” President Oliver felt like peeing his pants as he stared at the deadly eyes before him. It was as though he would be swallowed at any moment if he wasn’t cautious. Sweat immediately broke out of his pores.At this point, he no longer looked like the high-and-mighty president who was good at giving orders but a criminal who was hellbent on escaping the police.“I want us to talk. I hope that’s okay with you.” August's expression suddenly softened as he walked towards him. He then wrapped his hand around his shoulder and turned towards the house.“It seems you are good at being people’s lackeys, and as a result, you have chosen to become my enemy. Do you know what that means?” He asked again.At once, Oliver felt an unprecedented fear coursing through his veins. His head began to bring up scenarios that might happen after he heard those words from August.Also, it was only now that he was able to remember the tales he had heard
