He Got His Comeuppance
Morning came again in Nicholas's residence. The aroma of toast and freshly brewed coffee filled the room.Isabella appeared, already dressed for work. She saw Nicholas busy in the kitchen."Honey, why are you bothering to make breakfast?" Isabella asked, approaching Nicholas from behind, then wrapping her arms around her husband's waist. "You should just relax."Nicholas flinched slightly, accustomed to silence or self-sufficiency. He turned, his expression a little awkward. "Bella, you're making me blush.""Blush?" Isabella looked up, teasing Nicholas. "You mean you're embarrassed to have a wife like me?""It's not that," Nicholas let out a short sigh, then turned around. "I'm used to taking care of everything myself. It's just not normal for me. I don't know how to act when someone else is doing it for me.""Oh, my dear," Isabella chuckled softly, pinching Nicholas's cheek. "You don't need to worry about my feelings. Just keep being by my side.""Are you happy being married to me? O
They're Scared
Sebastian said nothing. His eyes darted between Nicholas, then to Adam and Elsa. He didn't dare say anything, fearing that a wrong word would further humiliate himself and Green Corporation. Cold sweat beaded on his temples.Nicholas, with a cold stare, pointed at Sebastian. "Say your apology again, Sebastian. More sincerely."Sebastian obeyed instantly, not waiting for a second command. "I'm truly sorry, Nicholas, Isabella! I beg for your forgiveness for everything I've done! I promise I'll never repeat it!" His voice trembled, full of fear.Adam, who had been silent, now snapped at Nicholas. "Who do you think you are to order people around like that, huh?! You think you're hot stuff just because he's scared?! What insolence!"Nicholas turned to Adam, his gaze narrowed, piercingly cold. "Mr. Weber, do you want to end up like Sebastian? Or worse?" Nicholas said it in a calm tone, but the threat within was unmistakable.Adam took a step back, shocked. An aura emanated from Nicholas tha
Fierce Battle
After the drama in Adam Weber's office ended, Nicholas and Isabella were now outside. They walked towards the waiting car, the atmosphere calm but filled with unspoken thoughts. Isabella held Nicholas's arm tightly, her gaze fixed on him, as if she never wanted to let go again. Today was the day everything changed, a new chapter in her life."So... does this mean everyone knows about you, Nicholas?" Isabella asked softly, repeating the question that had been swirling in her mind since they were in Adam's office. "Your identity as the God of War?"Nicholas nodded. "Yes, Bella. It's time. It's too dangerous to keep my identity a secret from you and my loved ones any longer." There was a calmness in his voice, as if he had made a final, undeniable decision."So, what's the next step?" Isabella looked at him.Nicholas stopped in front of the car. He opened the door for Isabella, then turned, looking at his wife with a serious gaze. "Next step, Bella, you need to listen to what Jessica and
The Enemy Escapes
The fight between Nicholas and Lord Gideon grew fiercer. The sounds of clashes and impacts echoed through the complex's ruins, silent witnesses to the endless duel. Lord Gideon continued to display his power, each attack swift and deadly, aiming to incapacitate Nicholas. However, Nicholas remained on the defensive. He employed his battlefield tactics: observing, analyzing, and waiting for the opportune moment. Their battle was still far from over, even after a full day had passed. Nicholas and Lord Gideon exchanged blows and defended, seemingly tireless. Their breaths came in ragged gasps, their bodies covered in scrapes and bruises, yet neither would yield. Suddenly, in the midst of the fight, Lord Gideon realized something horrific. He glanced around, searching for his soldiers. He saw that Nicholas's elite forces had neutralized all his troops, binding them and taking them hostage. Only a few of his soldiers remained standing, but they were surrounded and helpless. From the start
Is He the God of War?
The deal was set. Nicholas nodded at Serafina, a silent agreement they both understood. "Show me the way, Serafina. We don't have much time."Serafina didn't reply; she simply ran. Her agile steps leaped over tree roots and slick rocks in the night's darkness. Nicholas followed right behind her, trailed by the core team of his elite troops who moved in silence. They navigated secret paths, pushed through dense undergrowth, descended steep slopes, and crossed shallow rivers. Serafina led them with certainty, heading towards the most secluded heart of the forest, where the Black Waterfall was located.After what felt like a long and arduous journey, they arrived at a massive waterfall, its black waters mirroring the night's darkness, creating a deafening roar. Behind it, a hidden crevice served as the entrance to a cave."Father is hiding inside that cave," Serafina uttered, her voice slightly trembling, pointing towards the crevice. "But he must have fortified his defenses. He won't be
They Glared
This morning, a shiny black luxury car pulled up right in front of Isabella's residence. The car door opened, and Jessica stepped out."Jessica?" Isabella couldn't believe such a special guest was at her house."Yeah, I'm supposed to accompany you to that big meeting today."Isabella nodded. "Nicholas still hasn't contacted us?"Jessica sighed, taking a seat next to Isabella. "Not yet, Bella. I'm a little anxious too, to be honest. But Martin reported everything. Nicholas is on his way back. He'll arrive before the meeting starts."Isabella clasped her hands, trying to calm herself. She knew Nicholas would never break his promise. "I hope so. I can't stop worrying about him."The drive to the five-star hotel where the big meeting was to be held felt short. The hotel looked magnificent, its lobby filled with businessmen in expensive suits, and the air was thick with the aura of power and money.Isabella and Jessica stepped inside. The gazes of the guests immediately fell on them, full
Powerless
Richard was aghast. His gaze darted wildly, sweeping across the hundreds of businesspeople now standing behind Nicholas. His mouth was slightly agape, tasting nothing."Crazy," he muttered, his voice barely audible. "They've all gone crazy."Beside him, Elsa was still frozen. Isabella's warning yesterday, about Richard's foolishness and the risks, now spun in her mind. But her arrogance made her ignore it. Now, she saw with her own eyes how the empire she believed was solid was slowly crumbling. Her mouth hung open, her jaw slack, forming a blank expression filled with astonishment and disbelief.Gilbert's hand rose, pointing at the line of people allied with Nicholas. "What the hell is wrong with all of you?"Nicholas gave a faint smile. His gaze was sharp, scanning the faces that showed surprise, anger, or even fear. He directed his gaze towards Alan Wright."Alan Wright," Nicholas spoke, "Do you have anything to say?"Alan Wright stepped forward. "No, Mr. Krause," he said plainly.
Back on Duty
Lord Gideon, now kneeling with his hands bound, had made all the necessary confessions. His eyes pleaded with Nicholas in desperation. "I've told you everything, Mr. Krause," his voice raspy, full of entreaty. "Now, please let me go."Nicholas didn't answer directly. He signaled Martin with a hand gesture.Martin immediately approached. Nicholas turned to Lord Gideon, his gaze cold. "I'm sending you to a place I've already chosen."Lord Gideon raised his head, a confused frown etched on his battered face. "What do you mean?""My warriors will take you to that place," Nicholas replied."You said you'd pardon me," Lord Gideon protested."Yes, I'm pardoning you," Nicholas countered, a faint smile playing on his lips. "I'm pardoning you by taking over all your men and placing you in a remote wilderness, far from any life."Lord Gideon gasped. "This isn't fair!"Nicholas showed no reaction. He no longer wished to hear protests. Nicholas gave Martin a firm command. "Drag them out. Now."Wit
Jealous
A month passed quickly, enveloped in busyness and drastic changes at Diamond Group. Isabella had gone through various processes, and now, a new nameplate adorned one of the executive office doors.The plenary meeting of the board of directors had just concluded. Nicholas sat at the end of the table, observing. When Nicholas declared the meeting closed, one by one the board members stood up, lining up neatly before Isabella. They bowed respectfully, a small number grudgingly, but most with genuine recognition of Isabella's new position. Isabella returned their respect with a graceful yet firm nod, showing she was ready to shoulder this great responsibility.After the crowd of board members began to thin, and only a few remained, Jessica entered the meeting room."What is it, Jessica?" Nicholas asked, his gaze slightly curious.Jessica smiled faintly. She pulled an elegant envelope from her handbag. "I've come to deliver something very important."Isabella frowned. "Something important?
Not a Trick
Serafina was already waiting at the promised training arena, a large open field surrounded by dense forest, far from the city's hustle and bustle. The morning sun was already quite high; the clock showed 7:00 AM.She paced back and forth, her eyes sharply scanning every corner. There was no sign of Nicholas. An hour, then almost two hours she waited. Serafina began to get annoyed. Her resentment slowly swelled. "He's probably broken his word this time," she muttered angrily, her fists clenched.In her frustration, Serafina kicked a rather large pebble. The stone shot fast, hitting an old tree at the edge of the arena. A "Thud!" A sound was heard, followed by a slight tremor in the tree branches."That tree didn't do anything wrong. Why are you hurting it?" A deep, calm voice suddenly came from above the tree.Serafina looked up in surprise. On one of the sturdy branches of that tree sat a man with a firm posture. It was Nicholas. He looked at Serafina with a flat expression.Without s
