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

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
Picking a side
Maxwell was stunned. He never expected that Bruce, who called not long ago to threaten him, would be able to pull off such a move. Is he making the president bend to his rules or what? Maxwell thought to himself.As much as it was very hard to believe, he had no choice. The president sounded angry as he was talking to him; it was like he wasn't concerned about what position Maxwell held, but instead, he held Bruce in much higher regard than him.What the heck is going on? Should he choose between the president and August Reed? That was such a tough challenge for him. In just a little time, sweat had broken out of his pores already.“Hello, are you there?” The president called out again as there was no response. Maxwell was forced to snap out of his nerve-ending thoughts. He swallowed hard as suddenly his throat had turned sore and was hurting a lot.“Sir, I don’t think this is a good idea.” Maxwell immediately spoke to try and open his eyes to the visible fact, that even if not take
You have no choice!
Meanwhile, somewhere, inside a luxury suite. Bruce was seated with a frown on his face. Before him was White Fang, who was kneeling after explaining how his mission turned out. He couldn’t get to Maddie, and, worst of it, he encountered an opponent that was able to march on his realm, and thus it was difficult for him to proceed with the mission. “You should have just killed her.” Bruce gritted his teeth as he spoke. “But sir, we both know she is such a great asset. Her knowledge is rare, and killing her will be a huge waste.” Whitefang drew his attention to this fact since he was too consumed by anger to see it. “But since I couldn’t get her, how could I let August have her? I am sure that she has saved Shadow already. You and Scarface have failed me completely. Santos, Michael, and Peter are now dead. The councils are falling off indeed.” The anger in his chest flared up as he poured his heart out. Over three years each of them had built wealth and power, yet they allowed thei
