The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed

Sign it!

August didn't bother about sparing her a glance, instead, he was stunned by the recent changes in his body. His legs were now fitted to walk, and he could feel his Qi circulating all over his body including this leg.

This was only possible as he usually visited a secret military rehabilitation program just so he could find a cure for his legs. And for the fact that he wanted to leave the military, he had to pay these expenses out of his pocket.

That was what was going on for three years now. Every day in a month he went on for this treatment, but it seemed his actions were misinterpreted, and now he was being accused of having another mister and even spending much money to give her a lavish life.

A frown etched on August's face as he thought about all these before finally taking a step and his feet moved. He didn't feel any numbness nor was any pain circulating his system. He felt lightweight just like before.

But then, Rachel who was watching him didn't seem pleased by this.

So, now he can walk? And so what? This doesn't change the fact that he is just a worthless human being who is not supposed to live in her house. He is such an eyesore to her already. She thought to herself.

“August, good, now that your legs are working fine, you can walk over to the wardrobe, pack your bags, and leave this house at once.

“Ever since Caroline married you, nothing good had ever come out of it. All you do is sit on that wheelchair of yours looking useless and unworthy of her. I suggest you leave this house at once, or I will find some boys to cripple you once more before sending you out!” Knitted lines appeared on Rachel's face as she bellowed. She didn't look scared anymore or was even bothered by his chilly aura.

After all, he was just a nobody. What could he even do?

Hearing this, August turned towards her frowning. Not because of what she said but because his cultivation level had depreciated from how it used to be.

Before, he was at the grandmaster level, but now he was much lower, just at the warrior level. Now there was a big gap and he had to be in several life-challenging training to be able to climb back to the level he used to be in the past.

But then, he wasn't too bothered about this. What he cared mostly about was his wife and protecting her. Now that his legs were working, he would be able to do that undoubtedly.

Taking a mental note of this, he started walking towards the door, however, Rachel thought he was coming at her so she shivered.

“You…what are you trying to do? I told you to pack your things and leave didn't I?” Her voice cracked, and she looked panicked.

“I'm going to look for Caroline!” Those were the only words August said before walking off.

…

Meanwhile, the main villain of the Winston family, seated on an expensive vast chair was a woman who was in her late seventies but the way her skin was glowing, one might assume she was in her early fifties.

Her name was Elena Winston, the current Helmsman of the Winston family and also the woman for forced Caroline to marry August. She had a solemn expression on her face as she gazed upon two people in front of her, most especially Caroline.

“Damn it, Caroline, why are you so stubborn? Do you not value this family anymore? I am warning you, sign this now!” A young man in his late twenties bellowed with disdain in his eyes.

His name was Mark, he was Caroline's brother who had taken over the family business just as instructed by Ms Winston, but now all that was left was for Caroline to sign off the rights and ownership of the company to him.

That way, in no circumstances will Caroline be able to take back the company or even have anything to do with it. Just like that, the company she had nurtured into a billion-dollar company would be gone, forever.

Gritting her teeth tightly, Caroline couldn't take this. She might have lost everything, but it wasn't over. Even if it would kill her, there was no way she was going to hand over ownership of the company to her brother. Never!

“No! I won't let my suffering and handwork go up in the smoke. How about you, if I remember correctly, we were both given the same amount of money to start up a business.

“While you were there having woman swooning over you and spending the money the way you see fit, I, on the other hand, was painstakingly working to build my company up to this state. Now, out of the blue, you want to reap where you didn't sow? You want to take away my hard work? Never!” Caroline's eyes which were already red from all the crying, conveyed the anger in her chest.

At this moment, she was ready to fight it out. She couldn't afford to keep being the weak girl they could trample on anymore. Even if she had to step up for herself she would do it alone.

Hearing this, Mark’s blood boiled even more. It seemed this foolish sister of his wanted to do this the hard way, and he was more than prepared. Even if he had to teach her a thorough lesson just to get what he wanted, he was more than prepared to do it.

After all, he already had the backing of their grandmother, Ms Winston.

“I am warning you for the last time before things get messy, sign the document!” Mark bellowed as he pointed at the stack of papers on the table.

However, Caroline retorted stubbornly. “No! I'm not going to sign it. Do you worst.”
