The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed Taking a loan
It took a while yet no one said anything or even made an attempt to say a thing. The reason was that fifty million was such a huge amount and finding a bank that could loan it to them, especially when the company was in such a state would be very difficult.Whoever took the loan might have to be responsible for the consequences later on. Though they had told Caroline they were ready to help, going to take a loan from the bank was something they couldn’t help out with.Sighs!“Okay, I’ll go by myself. I reckon that Pinnacle Bank is the highest bank in this city that can loan us such an amount. Not to worry, I’ll make sure I get the loan.“You all can go back to your respective departments and wait for news from me. I’ll come with something positive.” Caroline said with a determined look on her face that spurred the others.After all, she was the CEO. Taking such responsibility was supposed to be part of her work. Also, given her past achievements, none of them could hold a torch to her
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed A trap
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
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed Sue you for slander
Both August and Caroline looked in the direction of where the voice was coming from and saw a bald head short man, clad in a suit, walking toward them. He had so many security guards behind him as he made his way towards them. Without thinking twice they could tell he was the manager.“You must be Caroline and you must be August the cripple husband who started walking as of recently? So what are you here for today? Take a loan and not pay it back? You guys are the thieves of the society. You ruin everything for us and think you can get away easily?” Ethan sneered in anger. Even though it was all an act, it had to be real since he was paid such a huge amount.Hearing this immediately sparked a discussion among customers.“They are debtor, aren’t they? So they go around taking loans and not paying back?”“Why don’t just sue their company for debt? This is too much.”“And I heard her company was one of the good ones. It seems the good they appear to be, the dirtier they seem to be on the
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed Pleading for forgiveness
Kneel? Ethan's brows creased in annoyance. Based on status, he was the esteemed manager of Pinnacle Bank, a figure whom so many people looked up to, and here was a punk, demanding he kneel in front of so many eyes. That would be a big insult to his pride and reputation.“Punk, don’t go too far. I’ve realized my mistakes. Don’t think you can threaten me the way you see fit.” He bellowed in anger as he pointed at August.“The one who threatened us here was you. You wanted to call the police, didn’t you? I’ll give you a last chance, you owe my wife an apology, do it peacefully or see you in court, pick one.” August replied with a frown, putting him in a tough position again.Thinking about it, Ethan figured he still had the upper hand here. As long as he got the recording from August, he would have nothing to present to the police as well as sue him. Besides, he had so many men behind him so why get scared of him?“Punk, you have just asked for it, and don’t blame me for being rude.” Eth
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed A reward
Huh? Wasn’t this daylight robbery? Fifty million dollars as compensation for all this? Ethan found himself in a dilemma once more. He wasn’t sure he would be able to get out of this one for the rest of his life. He only made two hundred and fifty thousand dollars here a year, how would he be able to pay the bank after this?He remained knee on the floor. His consciousness seemed to have left his body for a moment when Caroline spoke.“Bring the legal agreement. We will take it as a loan, not compensation.” Then she turned to look at August with a pleading gaze, that explained he shouldn’t pursue this matter anymore. Fifty million was such a huge amount and making Ethan bare the consequences of that would only make her feel like a bad person.“Okay, I’ll let him off because if you.” August compromised with a smile.“Thank you.” Caroline smiled before looking at Ethan.“I’ll get it right away. Thank you so much.” He replied before storming off quickly to it done. She had just spared him
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed Divorce him!
Just then, Rachel, Ms Winston, and even Mark walked out of the villa. When last had he ever made an appearance here in this house, but today he was here. All because of what?That wasn’t all, a man clad in a suit looking to be in his early thirties also walked out holding the divorce papers. He was a lawyer from the marriage union. “What’s going on here?” Caroline's brows creased as she looked around. August also frowned. He couldn’t help but shiver on the inside thinking, with their persuasion, she might give in to divorce him. Besides, a few days ago, she said that herself. What if her decision hadn’t changed? What if she still wanted to divorce him? So many thoughts were popping up in his head.“You didn’t hear me correctly? Since that bastard has come to the family, he has caused nothing but chaos. He even made you turn against me and take over the company. He beat your brother too. You don’t think I’ll take this to you?l” ms Winston said as she pulled Mark forward. Surprisingly,
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed Who sent you?
Watching August leave, the expression on their faces turned even ugly. What was that attitude just now? Who told him to walk out? Had he become even more arrogant because Caroline refused to divorce him? Damn it! Ms Winston cursed. She found him on the street, crippled, hopeless and useless.She brought him here as he was a perfect victim to make her plan work, but now it felt like he was a weapon fashioned against her. He had become Caroline’s backbone, and now he was rigorously acting on his accord as though this was his turf.“We have to find a way to deal with him. I’ll make sure to hook Caroline up with some second generation and only then will she get her mind off this loser. Also, he can help us take care of him.” Ms Winston said her thoughts out loud before looking at the lawyer.“I’m sorry, my granddaughter is just blinded, but that is temporary. I’ll make sure to come find you and sign the papers.” She said to him.“No problem. Since both parties hadn’t signed the document t
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed I need names
Seeing the look in August's eyes, even if he wanted to throw more jokes, he didn’t have the guts to do so. Besides, he had been warned that August had quite a temper and if he were to infuriate him, then regardless of if he had lost his powers, he could still be killed. After all, David was always by his side. August might not be a threat now but David was. His strength was so formidable that it was also feared in the country even though it didn’t hold a torch to August back when he was still in his prime.Sighing, the man replied. “Here,” he leaned to the side and pulled a briefcase to the front. Then he unlocked it and pulled out a stack of documents. “I was asked to give you the ownership of Apex Corporation. Please sign here and the company will be yours.“Also here is the sum of five billion dollars. It’s all yours. You can take it and start your own business. The apex company is a second-tier company that is worth ten billion dollars. It should be enough for you right?” The ma

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
Meeting one of the council members
She moved closer, pressing herself into him as she squealed in excitement. August didn't complain as rather he was enjoying it and also, the feeling of seeing her happy was a thing to kill for.“Sorry.” Her face flushed hard, and she pulled off after realizing she was squeezing him too tightly.“It's fine. Don't forget that you have to go to work.” He reminded them and watched her nod her head in agreement. “I will see you when I get back.” she placed a kiss on his cheek before turning and hurrying towards the car. As she got closer, she couldn't help but examine its features.After all, it was a BMW. A car known for its powerful performance, sleek design, and advanced technology. It offered a comfortable and premium driving experience, with innovative features and a reputation for quality. Though she had wanted a car, she never thought of something this expensive and flashy.Rather she would have gone for an Audi as it was a few thousand dollars compared to this one. Quickly, she op
Its true?
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
You owe me one
“Do you think you have subdued me? Are you sure about that?” Sniper said, his lip curled up. Even as he was pinned on the floor, it felt like he still had the situation under his control. August had a hunch. He looked around trying to pinpoint where the danger might be coming from when Sniper pulled out a small device from his mouth and threw it onto the floor.Bloom!Next thing, there was smoke everywhere. The smoke was foggy but what's more, it seemed to be hot to the eyes. Before August could close his eyes, a bit of the smoke had gotten in and now the effect was taking place.“What's this? Pepper powder or what?” August winched in pain but just then, Sniper was able to use the opportunity to his advantage. August wasn't as strong as he was before, so all Sniper did was force his hand out of his grip, and then he quickly turned to face August, thereby pushing him off.This made August stagger to the back. The substance in his eyes was still hurting, and he had yet to overcome it
Sniper attacks
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
But, I will die
“Be a good boy and open your mouth so I can empty this venom inside.” The man in suit turned towards August grinning as he spoke, taking him like a fool and someone who would easily be forced to do something out of fear. All fifteen men gathered stepped forward and were facing him. There was no way he would dare to say he wouldn't do as he was told.“Be fast. We staked a lot of money on you. Or do you want us to pin you on the floor and feed the poison to you by force?” Another man asked while the others began to chuckle.“I'll give you a chance. Give that venom to Richard over there, and then I might let you live.” August said with a deadly aura that seized the tension in the air. The men shuddered looking into his eyes that was like a void but soon after, they were quick to shrug the feeling off. “What are you doing? Attack him at once.” Richard bellowed from behind as he was so eager to see August jerking on the floor and then dying while he laughed at him.“Okay, boss.” The men
How long do you think he will last?
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
The invitation
August drove off to the company and decided to take a stroll around to take a look at the recent developments. Then he went to the site to check out the Wang project.They had dug the foundation and had started the building process. The place was precisely the way he drew it out for them and even though they hadn't gotten to a higher level, the structure was already captivating to the eyesThereafter, he drove again to the warehouse that was destroyed by Nathaniel. He had already sent some work there to start building it back up. Though it might take time, it was better to start now.By the time he was done checking all this out, time had traveled far into the day, and it was afternoon already. There was no news from David about Sniper or if he was spotted around.Caroline was safe and sound and so was he. He wasn't facing any trouble at all. Perhaps, it was because he was moving around that was why it was difficult for him to be found. August thought to himself when his phone starte
I like to chase my preys
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
