Searching through his phone, Mark found the number of the manager of Pinnacle Bank. Never did he think it could be beneficial if not today and at this moment. Days ago, he had collected the number intending to collect a loan and putting the charges on the company. His spending habit was something he couldn’t control and by taking the loan, he could keep living the luxurious life he wanted.

Sadly, before he was unable to achieve that, August and Caroline came into the picture and ruined everything for him.

“Hello, Mr. Ethan, you must be the bank manager of Pinnacle Bank, right?” Mark said right after the call went through.

“And who is this?” The voice sounded uninterested over the phone.

Rolling his eyes, Mark racked his brain on what to say and after a while, he seemed to have come up with a plan.

“It’s like this, I am a worker in Aurora Corporation and my boss wants to take a loan from your bank. I know it might not make sense, but I have to warn you that our company is bad, and we

    “What’s wrong, Lisa?” August asked as soon as he noticed the change of expression on her face. Well, not that it changed, it got worse, giving off the impression that something worse had just happened.Lisa looked up at him. Her lips trembled a bit. “The Mystic Corps manager has just made a post that there will be a conference in twenty minutes.”She said at first and gulped to adjust her breathing pace before she could continue. As for August, what she said didn’t add up to anything, at least not yet, until she uttered her next words.“He said he wants to announce to the public that a certain company stole their formulas and designs years ago. And also hinted that he has proof.”“Bastard! He intends to exploit the data he got for his own gain? He seems to be a sly fox, huh?” August said.“What do we do now? Jerry, is the cause of all this. We should be giving him the beating of his life.” The more Lisa thought about it, the angrier she got by the second.“I’ll deal with this. Go ba

  • You worry too much!

    Maxwell felt like he was being drenched in cold water. How could those words have so much effect that it was able to affect his well-being? It was now feeling like August was stronger than him even though he had yet to test the waters. A frown emerged on his face, and he looked away. “And you have less than twenty-four hours to leave this country. All your properties will be confiscated too.” With that, he walked away. At once, David sneered. “I wish I could snap his neck in two!” He grabbed a flower vase by the side and smashed it on the floor. Anger had consumed him whole. He was filled with so much rage that he craved wreaking havoc on the entire place.August looked at him and quickly spoke. “Stop that. And so what? When have I ever been suppressed by such nonsense?” He asked.“This matter is quite serious, August. I know you are strong, but can you stand a few gods of war sent to you? Even the entire dragon unit won’t be able to. We are talking about people who have achieved

  • We are now enemies!

    Now it became like August wanted to interrogate him. His movement, his actions—though it might not seem like he was arrogant, it didn’t look like he feared anything at all.That was expected since he was such a strong man, given his age and what he was able to achieve. Maxwell began to feel that things might not go well. He had heard so much about this man, and none of them were welcoming at all.“You wanted to see me? I am here now.” August said casually.Maxwell looked at him before his gaze shifted to David, who was now leaning against the wall close to the entrance; his eyes then moved back to August, and a loud sigh escaped his lips.He was contemplating how he was supposed to start what he wanted to say. After a while, he decided to just say what was on his mind.“August, you can have a bright future, but first you need to relinquish your quest for vengeance. You can build your life and start all over. If you can do this, I can hand over Oakdale's military to you.” Maxwell said.

  • You wish?

    In Apex Corporation Maxwell was seated on a couch offered by Ayden in the visitors' lounge. After some research, he found out that this was the place he could find August, which was why he came over so early to try to talk to him and inform him about what was going on.He didn’t meet him, but not long ago, David had offered to call August over, and now he was on his way.“Can we offer you some refreshments, sir?” Ayden asked shortly after. He was surprised to see Maxwell, after all, as everyone knew his status. He was the supreme commander of the country’s military and also a peerless hero.His achievements were featured in TV broadcasts and even documented for future purposes. If August could know such people, then of course it was easy to say he wasn’t an easy person either. “I am fine. I don’t think there will be a need for that.” Maxwell shook his head as he forced a smile on his lips. Was there a need to feel relaxed with what was going on?Ayden looked at him and sighed. He de

  • Your husband is rich

    The next morning arrived. Caroline woke up earlier to prepare breakfast for not just her and August, but also, Shadow, Maddie, David, and Alpha One. She had carefully packaged them separately for each person into a paper bag. Then she took them all to the car and dropped them all in the backseat before walking back into the house to get her bag and also check on August to see whether he had woken up or not.“You are up early?” Just then, August walked out of his room fully dressed. He was supposed to go to Mystic Corps today to settle the issue he had, but first, he knew they had to drop by the hospital then he would drive her to her company before driving off to his company to meet David and Jerry.He didn’t expect she would be up so early when she had been stressed all day long yesterday.“Ooh, you are awake now? Come, I packaged yours too. Do you want to eat here so I can unpack it onto a plate for you?” She asked.August looks at her for a while before shaking his head. If he we

  • This calls for a celebration!

    Back at the villa where Bruce was.A smile crept on his lips as he already knew everything was now playing by his fingertips. He was in total control now. How come he didn’t know about this and try it all this time?Well, it didn’t matter. Those people who were killed deserved it. They were foolish and incompetent. He warned them to take extra precautions, but none of them took his warnings seriously.Now that things had happened like this, after August had been chased, he could go over to acquire all that he had accumulated. This was the biggest profit ever. Indeed, he would reap a bigger benefit.Just then, a call came into his phone. He took a glance, and after seeing it was General Enderson, he didn’t hesitate to pick up.“Hello, General.” A smile crept on his lips as he spoke.“Hello, Mr. Bruce. I saw your message. Ooh, I am so grateful. You have my full support. In fact, Maxwell Spencer doesn't dare to go against the orders he was given. He already knows that if he does that, a
