Stopping by the sobbing woman, he sneered at her, "You'd better be done before I get back or I'll make you lick it off the ground."Arthur made a mental note on Pablo. Seeing as he was not only one of the lackeys who so easily followed the orders of the seven great families, his terrible actions didn't seem to stray from the norm for him.Putting his thoughts aside and Arthur crouched before the woman who looked up surprised.He had a mission and he planned to complete it without any issue.As for Pablo, just like Arthur did to Ethan Burton, Johnathan Williams and Nathaniel Burton, he would do to him as well.The war god was not one to show mercy to his enemies.Leon almost felt bad for Pablo, knowing just what would happen to him as he had not only been marked by Arthur for his actions ten years ago, but he had once again made himself into the enemy of the most feared man during the war."S-sir, you shouldn't be here." She stuttered, sniffling and wiping the tears that lingered in h
For a long time, Pablo was a person who firmly believed in doing what was absolutely necessary to succeed and that alone.Though he was born into an upper class family, his main fault was that they weren't as powerful as the seven great families.He coveted a position among them so much that any opportunity he was presented with to be amongst them, he took.These families were well aware of people like Pablo and knew how best to use people like them for their own good.So they baited the already greedy Pablo in and turned him into their hunting dog.The families promised him that should he succeed, they would have him as a business associate or a partner.And so he took part in the Rhyfel family massacre, eager and ready to prove himself to the seven great families, or more specifically the three amongst them who sought the downfall of the Rhyfel.At the end of the day, he was made an associate, just not in the manner he thought he would be.The chain of restaurants he currently manag
"That's a better look," Arthur tilted his head in mild amusement, turning to Leon who had a similar reaction."Now, the food's getting cold on the floor. Lick it.""I'm sorry to interrupt but," Ana stated, nervously fiddling with her fingers, "There's no need to do all this my sake."Raising a brow at her, Arthur said, "Don't be mistaken, this isn't for you. This is simply a lesson to teach a fool his place. And also, I don't appreciate being interrupted."But while he said that, his actions also had her in mind, because even after getting Liam McHenry to give her a job and giving her some money, the system had yet to notify him of the mission's completion.So he assumed like with his previous experiences, it was tied to his main mission which was to utterly destroy Pablo.And compared to what he had originally planned, this was much milder. But Arthur already knew, it would be all in due time.Observing her apologetic bow briefly, Arthur returned his attention to Pablo, his tone low
She exhaled tiredly, watching the cool mist that formed by her mouth with an annoyed expression. She felt like a fool expecting a lowly man of his caliber to understand manners and courtesy. Two black jeeps drove into the vicinity, their doors opening as soon as they halted. A man with a low cut and trimmed beard approached the waiting brunette with two men in tow, the rest surveying the area. Approaching her in a cheery manner, he hollered lightheartedly. "If it isn't Ms Laura Hughes of the great Hughes family in the flesh?" He neared her with an intention to hug her, but her next comment swiftly caused him to cease his action. "Lieutenant Ross, was it?" She held his gaze, her brown eyes reflecting the annoyance she felt, "You should know I don't like being kept waiting." Smiling dryly, he replied, "Don't be like that, Ms Hughes or should I say Madam Hughes?" Glancing past him to the crates that his subordinates had stacked by the cars, Laura remarked coldly, "Let's ge
Arthur had gone to the Lefevre household with the intention of negotiating a deal that would not only grant him a prominent figure as an ally but would also provide him a large network of contacts. After all if he wanted to keep the ones aware of his identity as the war god down to a small number, he had to have means he could follow as the military medic he pretended to be.But what he didn't expect was that a poison that had forced him to learn medical skills to survive as a system mission would rear its ugly head thousands of miles away.After all, with the symptoms he saw, there was no way what the daughter of the household was dealing with was anything but said poison.Silently weighing the pros and cons of his mentally suggested set of actions against each other, especially with the mission given to hjm by the system, Arthur decided to follow through.Walking to the opposite side of the bed, he observed Henri's daughter closely, tapping the bLiamm of his chin while he confirmed
A week had gone by in a flash, and a call from the Lefevre house reached Arthur.During that time, something of a warm home experience was how he would've described his time with both Luna and Agatha.He couldn't deny the motherly behavior she had towards him even though he was her superior and for a moment he could sense some similarities between her and his mother.Arthur then understood that was why Luna was so fond of her.But concerning the call, simply assuming Henri's ability to acquire his contact was because of Liam, he made preparations to see him.He didn't doubt that his antidote would work, but there were things Arthur wanted to confirm in person and so his eagerness to leave was slightly more than before.That and due to his discussion with Luna, she wanted to go along with him, eager to see the medical might of her cousin.The drive to the mansion was uneventful and silent, with the exemption of a few occasional remarks or questions by Luna.Upon arriving at the front
Luna watched the two of them discuss, surprised to see how the one she always viewed as her younger cousin had grown. It seemed his time in the military had really changed him.Smiling sadly, Luna regretted that she and Arthur couldn't have had normal lives all because of the actions of others.Shaking her head subtly, she decided to help him to have as much of a normal life as they could possibly have.Arthur noticed Luna's reactions but remained silent, leaving her to her own thoughts. At the very least she didn't feel lonely or bored in any way.Putting that aside, his thoughts returned to his earlier statement on forming a scouting team of sorts.He remembered just how important reconnaissance was in the battle and while the use of violence and the like was minimal, this was still a form of battle.And information was highly valued. So he needed a team just dedicated to searching, extracting and giving him information whenever he requested it.The car stopped at another similar ye
Scanning the records placed before him, the aged police commissioner frowned, stroking his full white beard. The three murders that had occurred in the span of less than a month had put immense pressure on them.Mainly because they were all important members of the seven great families, groups only regarded as below the four Armaments and the royal family in the empire.And while that was a nightmare for the entire law enforcement agencies within and outside the city. There was also the fact that one of the deaths had dragged in the man called the Shield of the Empire, one of the four Armaments.His very attention made the situation all the more tension filled."First, Nathaniel, then Johnathan and Ethan too. Just what is all this?" He muttered, a knock on his office door attracting his attention."Come in," his gruff voice was met by the quiet click of his door as an officer walked in, a few documents in hand."What is it?" He asked, glancing from the papers to the uniformed woman w
