We need to bring him back
“Huh? What?” Not only Jinx but everyone was stunned. He was going to let him go like that?They wanted to ask but Jinx, who was the subject here, raced them to it, as after all, it was about his life. “Can I go? Do you mean it?” He asked, his eyes beaming with hope.“I can change my mind if you like.” August frowned.“No, please don’t. I’ll leave now.” He said, and with that, he stood up and dashed away with all the strength and speed he could muster.Everyone watched him running away for his life, and even though the scene was so funny to watch, no one had such time to kick up a fuss about it. “Why did you let him go?” David asked.“Well, I am sending a message to not just the council but the other generals. Don’t worry, he won’t live for so long.”No one knew the details of what he meant, but they didn’t dwell on the matter for long. Since he let Jinx go and said it was to send a message, they naturally believed him and wouldn’t question his order.“Shadow, how are you feeling?” A
A one sided battle
“This…” Rhino stuttered as his eyes widened, almost like they would fall out of their sockets.“How…how is this possible?” Jinx also gasped in shock. Right there, August had merely used a stick engulfed with Qi to block their attacks like it was nothing. In fact, it was useless for them to use a sword to attack. Just a mere stick could subdue their power?It would have made a lot of sense if he had used something that was metal-like, engulfed it with his Qi to block their attack, but still, he was expected to stumble back, but not them. This was such an insult indeed.August looked at them, and seeing the shocking gazes on their faces, he smirked and decided to lecture the fools.“It doesn't matter what I use. Even a rubber can block against your strike as long as it’s been swathed with concentrated Qi. As you can see, I am stronger than both of you combined; that’s why my weapon didn’t waver at all. In fact, this mere stick that had my Qi swathed on it is actually stronger than your
Using him as a ladder
“Huh, you actually want to die, don’t you?” Rhino roared as he felt insulted by what he just heard. He had fought countless battles. Some masters had died in his hands, but none had ever been so bold as to tell him such a thing to his face. Yet this man was?Wasn't he digging his grave too soon already?“And you think you are worthy of killing me? Dream on.” August felt like laughing out loud as he saw how determined the man was to strike him down. If he were such an easy person to deal with, he would have died a long time ago.“Is that so? Then I won’t stand on ceremony with you.” Rhino stuck his tongue out and licked his lips. Wouldn’t it be nice if he killed this arrogant punk and took the money all to himself?Everyone might have thought he was in the early stage of grandmaster level, but they were mistaken. He had achieved more. He was already at the late stage, and soon he would break through his bottleneck into the legendary grandmaster level, just where August was. Today, if
Not entirely bad
Shortly after they left, about ten men emerged from the shadows. Two stood in front, having some ancient sword strapped on their backs. One had a scar on his face and was bald. He looked quite bulky with bulging muscles here and there, as though it was going to tear out the military attire he was clad in. Coupled with that, he had a deadly aura surrounding him, and even the earth seemed to have vibrated violently as soon as he emerged. His gaze locked on ahead, and he spoke. “Hmph, so that's the man who has achieved the legendary grandmaster level? If that's true, then why is he running away?” “Perhaps the rumors are just rumors, but there is nothing to be certain about. What do you think, Rhino?” The man standing close to him spoke. He had a low cut and was clad in military attire too. Though he was a god of war, one wouldn't get the impression as quickly as the other man, who was named Rhino. “Shut up, Jinx. Let's go after him and finish him off. I'm still wondering
Let him go
Both men looked at each other, as all this while the thought had never crossed their minds if not now. Well, they didn’t even need to think too much about it, as their heads had come up with an answer already.“We will stay. Our families are here. We can’t just leave them and go.” They said even when they knew what the consequences of their actions might be.August smiled. Such men who were loyal to his family were the kind of people he wanted to keep around.“Okay, I will surely protect you all when things get even messier. But first I want you to escort my wife and friend to the airport. Make sure they leave in one piece before you can go back to your homes.” August ordered.Both men froze, since they had pledged their allegiance to August, wasn’t it idle for them to go home and use every available resource at their disposal to protect their families? Why was he asking them to escort his wife? Wasn't he selfish?David saw their expression, so he immediately explained. “The council
Devilish woman!
“Caroline?” He uttered softly, but a frown emerged on his face right after. This wasn’t a safe zone, and she had brought herself into it. While he was watching her, he saw how she ran from the car coming towards where he was. Should this be called love—- when someone could risk facing danger for your sake? Thinking about it, he realized that if she was in trouble, even if it was the pit of hell, he was going to go to her aid.She felt the same, that was why she was here. Just as he figured it out, she arrived at where they all were and quickly asked.“August, are you alright? Are you hurt? Come, let me take a good look at you.” She couldn't reach him, as Mr. Wang, Logan, and David were standing close to him, but as she stood away, he beckoned him over like a kid who was expected to go hug his mom.Though this was done out of curiosity, she didn’t even know how it sounded or looked, but those around, could see it. However, no one dared to complain.“Yes, wife, I am fine,” August said
