Reaching the entrance of the club. Weber looked at the two bouncers and said in a slightly authoritative and arrogant voice, “I would like to meet Mr. Green,”“Do you have an appointment with the boss?” one of the two burly and fierce looking bouncers asked.“Yes and No,” Weber said, “but I have an offer that he can't refuse for him,”The duo glanced at Weber cautiously as they sized him up. Normally what Weber did to the punk at the other end of the street did not escape the notice of the two bouncers. Hence, it was the reason why they treated him with respect and didn't try to turn him away at the entrance after all, he did not look simple.“It's OK boys,” a young beautiful teenager with dark hair came out from the entrance. “Mr. Green said to let them through.”“My name is Angel Cake.” she said to both Orion and Weber, “I will be taking you to Mr. Green. Follow me!”The duo cleared the path as Weber and Orion made their way into the club under the lead of the teenage prostitute cal
“Mr. Sandstone, I understand what you need but forgive my curiosity,” Cole Green uttered before looking at the hooded figure intensely, “although you said you needed a Wheatstone for your fighter. I don't see a need why you have to see me directly as he could just enter the ring like any fighter that comes to this place, for a fee of course.”“There is a need of course,”Weber said as a matter of fact, “My fighter isn't here for the fame and money brought by the ‘Hotboxing’ event. He is just here to hone his skills, I fear that too much publicity now isn't good for him and could go to his head hence making him lose focus.”Weber paused as he looked straight into Mr. Green's small beady eyes from beneath his hat, “What I want exactly is a very private arena for my fighter. And I'm willing to pay quite handsomely for you to make that happen, Mr. Green. In fact, the fee would be the equivalent of the prize money for the ‘Hotboxin competition.”Mr. Cole Green was quite intrigued by the off
Orion merely grinned and said,“Good thing then that I have an iron chin.”Cole Green laughed as he replied, “We shall put that to the test soon enough.”Weber only shook his head after listening to the light banter between the Prince and the boss of Scarlet District. Although he was a little displeased earlier at the Prince's insistence on fighting a dangerous pugilist; after all unlike Orion, he knows that the ‘best’ Mr. Green had to offered was a dangerous boxer whom other pugilists in this place feared or respected for their skills or ferocity in the ring.Moreover, he was still just a courtier and a butler to the Crown Prince. Hence there were things that he should or should not say in the face of a shrewd observer like Mr. Green. Despite their disguise as boxer and promoter, they were in reality master and servant. Nevertheless, he would find the opportunity to advise the young prince on his rash decision.After a while…A knock sounded on the door to Cole Green's office then a y
AWAKENINGCHAPTER 15THE AWAKENINGWhile his people and the rest of the continent mourned his death. Orion in his near-death state was undergoing some changes at this moment. The werewolf venom in his blood has circulated fully thereby causing more than a few transformations; his scar especially had started to heal after remaining dormant for quite a while.The wounds had started closing at a rate invisible to the eye that anyone who had witnessed it would have been shocked at the impossibility of such a thing occurring after all the fatal injuries suspected to have taken the life of someone presumed dead for days had already started to heal.At this moment.The eyelids of Orion had begun to flutter and what had happened to him a few days ago seemed no more than a distant memory. His reverie into the past had seemed so real to him that it felt like he was like an outsider in his mind experiencing the memories of what he had lived through.With a foggy mind. Orion tried sitting up only
Down The RiverThe Royal yacht of Eleftheria sails unopposed on the great river of Nist; It was a great marvel of nature that split apart all six nations on the continent of Bastion, some natives even called it the longest river in the world due to its length extending over 7000 km.Despite the technological advancement of the Bastion continent in developing nuclear warheads and various types of battleships, its people still had not yet developed a means of traveling in the air yet, hence their preferred method of transportation by ships.Meanwhile, in the sitting room of a royal yacht, a handsome young man around the age of twenty-five with dark hair, greenish-blue eyes, and a hawk-like nose sat in front of a desk with various letters scattered on it. The crown prince of Eleftheria, Orion Darkwood looks lost in his thoughts as his pair of striking greenish-blue eyes sift through his correspondences from the other ambassadors of the four nations (Victoris, Amicitia, Libeirio, Adlino).
Perhaps the reason was to make him feel despair, the werewolf assassin didn't immediately kill Orion Darkwood with the same agility and ferociousness that it had used to kill his men. It stood before the crown prince as if to make him realize what exactly had come to take his life.“By the Maker! W-what are you? Your Highness, stand behind me!” gasped Weber.Perhaps it was out of fright and a sense of duty of having served the prince as a boy that made the elderly valet say those words without realizing that he wasn't armed or equipped to protect anyone, not even himself.Nevertheless, it was after a few moments of initial shock before Weber realized this point. But it was too late as at this moment, the werewolf swiped its claws and slashed his throat hence killing him.Though Orion was also shocked and frightened by such a thing as a giant wolf-like creature in front of him, something he had never seen before but only read about in myths. But the death of his valet who had been with
14 DAYS AgoIn the football stadium of the great institution of learning in the capital of Victoris. There stood a man behind the pulpit. A handsome, tall, and imposing young man with an extraordinary temperament and bearing as he spoke in an eloquent tone to his audience composed of elderly men and ladies, middle-aged men and women, and thousands of young men and women some of which were dressed in graduation attires.“I have to say that I'm honored to be invited to the 150th graduation ceremony of the University of Petra, one of our oldest institutions on the continent, to give a speech to the younger generations as they complete their journey of acquiring knowledge in their various fields of expertise. But make no mistake, learning doesn't end within the four walls of an institution.“Life continues to teach us various things through our experiences. Things I have also personally experienced. Over the past couple of months, I have traveled the continent, visiting the various nation
“And why is that? Your Highness,” Kay Segreti asked curiously.“Well, it's a secret, and all that has to do with the Treaty of Metus. Just know that the other leaders will follow me if I ask them to.” Orion replied vaguely.Then further stated, “Nevertheless, there comes a time when men must ensure with their valor, blood, and sometimes their lives to ensure that Justice must be upheld in the land. And I will do whatever it takes to see this through,” Orion vowed.Kay Segreti frowned at those words, and said inwardly, ‘Is it possible that he knows about that issue? It seems that this man will be a problem for us. Despite knowing that he is outmatched, he still wants to try to stand against absolute power.’With all these thoughts in mind, Kay Segreti decided to play another card in hand by bringing up Orion's father.“Your Highness, what does your father, his Majesty think about this?” From what has been known so far. He hasn't been quite supportive of your aspirations.”Orion sighed
