Meanwhile, after August got out of the company, he waited for a while for David to join him before they started driving away, heading to Apex Corporation. August's attention was somewhat divided, half was focused on the road while the other was on David.“What's wrong? Talk to me.” He asked, curiosity getting the best of him.“I don't know who did this but August I don't think it's safe for you to keep being in this city or anywhere around Caroline,” David said, panicking.August didn't know what made him say such a thing but if he were to guess, he would say there was something or a danger that was coming and hanging around Caroline would put her at risk. His heart palpitated. The thought of it alone sent shivers down his spine. David looked at him before continuing. “Do you remember Sniper? I heard he is in blue vile as we speak, looking for you.” “What?” August's eyes widened. “How? How did he find me?” He asked looking surprised.When he was back in the military with his powers

They walked for a while into the lounge section of the clubhouse. Down the path, several doors were facing each other. They were reservations that could be booked by anyone who wanted to have a personal party without too many people intruding.The man kept walking till he was by the last door, almost at the end of the path before he stopped. He turned to the right, cracked the doorknob open, and walked in.August was right behind him. He looked into the room to find ladies stripping on a pole, some men seated just close to the entrance. Above all, there was a strong smell of smoke and liquor up in the air.Seeing he stopped, the man looked at him and smirked, as though trying to infuriate him.“Are you scared to come in? This place isn't for kids after all.” August raised a brow at him but didn't say anything. Then he took a step in, his head twirled around only for him to notice there were more men in the room. Probably fifteen of them with bulging muscles. They had an imposing pr

Gulp!Richard choked, and his mouth turned sour as the content went right in. His eyes palpitated, and he quickly wanted to spill it out, but August had already crouched down and held his throat. His fingers wrapped around his neck were like iron claws, forcing him in place.“Swallow it.” He ordered. His voice held a hint of threat, one that signified he was going to crush his throat if he didn't swallow it.“Plea–” Richard wanted to beg but as a result, the venom was able to slip down his throat.Seeing this, August pulled away smiling. “Now this is a final warning. If you survive today, eventually, and come after me, I will kill you. Read my lips, I am going to kill you.” He said, and with that, he walked towards the door and left.“Help, someone help.” Richard's entire body began to burn up. The venom was taking effect in his system, and soon he was going to die. He knew this. After all, he handpicked this venom due to how fast it worked just so he could test it out on August.But

The next morning arrived quite fast. August slept in Caroline's room, both of them had been curdling for the entire night, and didn't even realize it was morning not until his phone started buzzing on the side cupboard close to the bed.The sound was so alarming that it didn't only wake August but Caroline too. He yawned and looked at his phone thinking about switching it off for disturbing him but when he brought the screen to his face, he saw it was David calling.Wondering what it must be about, he picked it up.“You do know that it's too early right?” He grumbled.“Early? Have you checked the time? It's already ten o'clock. Or don't tell me you are curdling with your wife so much that you don't want to wake up?” David teased. The phone was on a loudspeaker so Caroline heard it all. Her face flushed and quickly, she scurried off to the bathroom.August smiled before returning his attention to the phone. “What's wrong? Talk to me?” He spoke.“This is good news and might be consider

Meanwhile, just then, August arrived at the company with David. Both of them were still inside the car when they craned their head to look at the tall building before them.As the name implies, it was a tall sleek building with several floors. The name was boldly carved in front with an explicit craftsmanship. As for the refinery, it was located behind the tall building.Besides that was of no concern to him. Who he had business with was in this building and on the top floor. That was where he was going to go to settle scores.“Let's go,” August said before hopping down while David followed. Both of them approached the entrance and got in. Immediately, they became the subject of attention but none of them cared.Just then, August felt a compelling aura coming from the top. He didn't expect this to be easy after all. Peter Derrick might be waiting for him already or even set traps. This made his lips curl into a smirk, and he looked to the side to David. Both of them exchanged glances
