131: Escalating War
"Master, the War is escalating."That was the first sentence that came out of Riley's mouth as she reported to Max.Hearing this, Max froze and stood up slowly from where he sat. His family was here, he couldn't let them know.War?That was something the young, old, adults, children, strong, weak, sick, healthy feared. And maybe perhaps, only the dead didn't fear war."What exactly is happening?" Max inquired, his expression slowly easing."I don't know the details for now, but Finn and Paul seem to be having a hard time at the border and told me a lot of their men are injured," Riley responded.Max sighed and fell silent. His men were strong and he knew that. But if they were that injured, then it meant that those people were serious about what they wanted.Or could it be a strategy? Though he really didn't care as long as his family was safe.Though that sounded a bit selfish. But then, he had been fighting for the country for years and yet, how was his family treated.Not that he w
132: Maya Go Treat The Injured
"Maya," Max spoke, the instant the call connected, his voice a bit serious."Yes, master," Maya's voice came from the other end of the phone."I need you to go to the border and treat the injured," Max stated."Yes, sir," Maya didn't argue and just agreed directly.Max was the supreme leader, and everyone had to listen to him once an order was passed out.One thing they wouldn't do was question the order. It was a taboo. Most times, Max would choose to explain why he had ordered them to do whatever he asked them to do.And at other times, he never said anything and would just let them guess. He really didn't care anyway."Finn and Paul are having a hard time at the border. You go over and treat the injured of their men and also act as a backup for them," Max explained, knowing Maya was confused."I'm not sure, but the war is escalating. While you're at it, try to see if you can gather any evidence," Max added, his brows narrowing into a thin line."Understood, master," Maya nodded, en
133: Plans
(Max's Villa)"Master, Riley informed me that you sent Axel over to the battlefield," Tiger spoke, looking at Max who stood at the balcony of the villa while he stood behind."Yes..." Max nodded, confirming what Tiger had said."Should I carry out the investigation myself?" Tiger frowned slightly, feeling something was off.Riley had told him all that Max had said. So he wanted to help."Don't make a move," Max shook his head, refusing Tiger."If you do, those cunning old men would be able to tell I've started doubting them, and that would make things a whole lot harder.""So the best is for me to stay put," Tiger concluded while Max nodded."That's the best for now," Max agreed; there was nothing better than that.Those old men didn't know what they were doing. He couldn't do anything to expose himself.They've always coveted his army, not knowing he has absolute control over it."So what do you plan on doing before Riley comes back with something?" Tiger asked again, his eyes narrow
134: Date
(Hours later)Max stood outside the villa, staring at the starry sky. The full moon swam within the clouds, hiding and resurfacing after some time. Fiona had slept; Rose and Amelia were still up watching a movie.They were not going to school the next day, so he didn't force them to go to sleep.It wouldn't be better if they played around a little more. And besides, he had nothing to do, so he might as well just wait outside.After a while, a shadow appeared behind Max, standing without uttering a word.From the outline of the shadow, it was Tiger. But this time, he was silent; the fury emanating from him was something to be scared of."What's wrong, Tiger? Who made you angry?" Max broke the silence, still not turning around to look at Tiger."Master, someone tried to assassinate Allen," Tiger answered, his tone bubbling with fury.The next second, a murderous aura spread, almost suffocating Tiger.After a while, it disappeared, but Tiger could still feel Max's burning rage.The Mast
135: The Date Day
In a few hours, it was already daybreak. Max was already up, preparing for his date with Fiona.Fiona too was up and was also preparing. The only person who didn't seem to have where to go was Amelia, thus she sat on the sofa watching as the two couples got ready."Sighs, how beautiful would it be to have someone in my arms," Amelia sighed, staring dreamily at Max and Fiona who had gotten ready and were about to leave the house."Finish school first, and then maybe you can look for love. How old are you?" Max scoffed, rolling his eyes."You won't understand, brother," Amelia shook her head, pouting, still staring at the two.Rose was yet to wake up. The little one slept so late that if Max didn't force her to sleep, she would still be awake."Take care of Rose," Max said, turning to Amelia."Sure..." Amelia nodded, her eyes narrowing as she wondered how she ended up dealing with that little trouble maker.Though she had consented that Max and Fiona could go out alone, they were leavin
136: Assassin Again
"How do you like this place wifey?" Max grinned holding Fiona's hands as they strolled through the park watching kids play and couples also joking and walking around.They had finished eating at the restaurant, went to a cinema for a movie which ended up scaring Fiona and she ended up curling into Max's arms all throughout while refusing to leave as she wanted to see the end.Then they visited the Zoo where they saw a whole lot of animals. A lion pouncing at its cage scared Fiona and she ended up jumping on Max who held her firmly.Fiona was not the only one who was scared out of her wits. Others too were scared so it was a happy scenario for the couples there as their partners held onto them tightly.And now, they were at the park, taking a stroll after having lunch. It was evening already and the sun was already on its way to set.Max was the happiest of them all as he enjoyed his wife's company. At first, Fiona too had been shy, but gradually, she also became quite comfortable.Tig
137: Max's Rage
The roaring sound of the engine faded into the distance as Max drove away, his focus entirely on comforting Fiona. She had fallen back asleep in the passenger seat, completely unaware of the danger they had just escaped. Back on the dark, lonely road, the atmosphere was heavy. Tiger stood by the damaged car, his eyes cold as he looked down at the tied-up assassin. The man was dressed in black tactical gear, but at the moment, he looked like a broken doll. Aria stood next to him, her arms crossed, her face showing no emotion at all. "Should we get rid of him now, Commander?" Aria asked, her voice flat. "No," Tiger replied, shaking his head. "Master will want to see him. If we kill him now, we might miss the people behind this." "Besides, Master is furious. You saw his face before he left." Aria nodded. She remembered the look in Max's eyes when the tire blew out. It was a look that promised death. If Fiona had been hurt, the entire city would have turned into a graveyard. They di
138: Killing Jake
Jake frowned, setting his wine glass down on the table. "What's wrong with the power? Hey! Is anyone outside?" he called out loudly, but no one answered. The villa was dead silent. A strange feeling of uneasiness crept into his heart. He stood up, using the flashlight on his phone to guide his way toward the door. Bam! Before he could even take a step, the heavy wooden front doors of the villa flew off their hinges, crashing loudly onto the marble floor. Jake gasped in fear, dropping his phone to the ground. The phone fell on the floor, its light shining upward, illuminating the figures that walked through the ruined doorway. It was Max and Tiger. Max walked into the room casually, as if he were taking another stroll in the park. But the aura around him was suffocating. Jake felt like a giant mountain was pressing down on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe. "M-Max?!" Jake’s voice cracked with terror. He stumbled backward, his legs hitting the sofa, causing him to fall
139: Cover Up
Mason stood in the dark living room, his hands shaking so much that he nearly dropped his phone again.He looked at Jake’s lifeless body on the floor, then at the bloody footprints and the piece of his own jacket.In the face of something like this, his defense had been absolutely crushed and now, he was nothing, but a weak useless playboy."I need to call my dad. I need to call my grandfather right now!" he muttered, his voice cracking with panic.He quickly dialed his father's number. It rang three times before a deep voice answered."Mason? Why are you calling so late?" his father, Mark Brown, asked."Dad! You and Grandfather need to come to the Western District Villa right now! It’s Jake... he’s dead! Someone killed him and made it look like I did it!" Mason screamed into the phone, tears finally rolling down his face."What?!" Mark’s voice turned incredibly serious. "Stay there. Do not touch anything. We are coming right now."It didn't take long for the Brown family to move. Bec
140: They Are Lax
"Master, I have found what you asked me to look into," Riley's voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding serious.Max kept the phone to his ear, his face calm under the moonlight. "Speak. What did you find out about the higher-ups?""It is just as you suspected, Master. Something is very wrong," Riley explained."I checked on the other army platoons in the country. Right now, all of them are completely idle. They are just sitting around in their bases, doing absolutely nothing."Max’s eyes narrowed slightly as he listened."The entire war at the border is being fought by our men alone," Riley continued, her voice filled with anger."Finn, Paul, and now Axel are the only ones taking the heat. The other Army heads have no intention of sending reinforcements. They are just watching from the sidelines."Hearing this, a spark of pure rage burned in Max's eyes. The air around him in the courtyard instantly became heavy and cold.Even Tiger and Aria, who were standing a few feet a
