The Supreme And Amazing King Of War

Chapter 2

“The rumors of the war is the reason this happened, if you hadn't failed in the military academy, you wouldn't have lost me.”

Sophia voiced out with what felt like a sincere tone, but Michael could tell it was a lie, even without the rumors of a war coming Sophia would've still divorced.

She was already drunk on getting to the top, nothing was going to make her wake up on that.

Michael gave Sophia a small nod.

“I wish you good luck on your way to the top, and about the war. It's better to have someone who knows how you were born into this world on the battlefield, than someone who only knows how you are currently.

I learnt that from the military academy.”

Sophia heart missed a beat by Michael's words. It was a fear that she might lose everything, but she shook the thought away immediately. She already had everything under control. Michael was her only obstacle and she had cleared it away.

Nothing could possibly stop her now.

Seeing the look on Sophia's face, Michael had nothing else to add to it. It was over anyway.

Without waiting for Sophia to respond, Michael walked away. 

He took the elevator and came down to the last floor.

Michael strolled to the exit immediately without looking back. He promised himself that he would never step foot in Sophia's company, and he would never help her beyond this.

This was basically the end for them.

Michael was reaching the existence of Newfounding powers when Sophia's mother, Charlotte and Sophia younger sister, Gianna entered the company.

“Well, if it isn't the loser, who else should be leaving this company for good.”

Gianna said as she threw a deadly glare to Michael. Michael was composed and didn't want to talk with them, but they blocked his steps from going further.

“Have you signed the papers, if you didn't, it would only be difficult for you. Sophia had the power of making just one phone call and she wouldn't need your signature on that paper.”

Sophia's mother, Charlotte folded her hands across her chest as she continued.

“If you didn't sign the paper, you should run back and do it while you still can with pride.”

Michael saw that there was no way of escaping them now. He had to voice out.

“Me and Sophia are no longer married.”

Michael said plainly. He wanted to walk past Charlotte when Gianna blocked his front view.

“You sound like you are angry. How could you be when you kept my sister waiting for five years.  The military academy was your only chance to prove that you were worthy of holding her hands, and you failed.

How shameless could you be to think you can live off a woman!

What kind of a man are you?”

Michael's eyebrows moved a little. To think Gianna would speak to him this way was absurd. 

He paid for her university fees till she graduated, not to mention he gave Sophia the business idea of this company and he was the first person to fund her as well. Out of love, he didn't take any stake in the company, only for them to forget all of that.

Truly money and power reveals a person's true identity.

Just as Gianna spoke. Charlotte turned to face Michael with a smile.

“Before you go about spending the money Sophia gave you, do well to take care of your parents grave. They weren't buried properly due to your laziness.

If you had worked hard before you went to the military or even achieved something from the military, your parents would've been given a befitting burial. 

It wasn't Sophia right to do it, and she had a big project on her neck at that moment. She had to put all her money on it, and that was why she couldn't assist in the burial, and it turned out to be the worst I have seen, all because you had no money in the bank.

I employ you to fix that before anything else.”

Michael's expression darkened at that moment.

Sophia had lied to him about his parents' burials, he noticed something was wrong with her explanation, but he let it go because they were dead already, but now he understood that Sophia was the one that did the burial herself, and she buried them so poorly.

Without a coffin, and they were buried in the same hole, not only that, she couldn't even buy a plot of land for them, she did it at the back of their old house.

Michael couldn't help but squeeze his fist hard. With Sophia's attitude just now, it was obvious that his parents were abandoned before the incident.

The little portion of love Michael had for Sophia scattered at that moment. The next time they would meet, he would walk past her like a stranger.

Without responding to Charlotte's words Michael walked away. Gianna turned to face Michael when Michael walked past her.

“It's okay that you got five million dollars from my sister but which woman would want to be with a man like you that couldn't bury his parents properly.

If you could do that to your parents, you could easily do the same to their parents as well.”

Gianna frowned seeing Michael didn't stop to listen to her instead Michael just kept approaching the exit and he was almost close to the doors now.

“How far do you think five million dollars would take you to. With the rumors of the war getting heated, you can't buy a house with that amount and if you decide to rent, that amount will only serve you for two years.

Your only hope is running to the countryside. That is where trash like you belong.”

Gianna thought that would stop Michael for sure, but Michael continued his steps without shaking for a bit. 

She really wanted to see Michael in pain but he wasn't giving her that satisfaction, it made her wonder if Sophia divorcing Michael didn't hurt Michael or perhaps he cashed out big time on it.

She believed the latter. 

Michael was a nobody, he knew nobody and had no power or anything, how could her sister give him more than five million dollars when she could end it without his approval.

Gianna's forehead folded completely the more she thought about. No wonder Micheal wasn't hurt and wasn't complaining. He cashed out big time.

If Sophia actually gave Michael more than five million dollars then there was no way she was going to let Michael leave this building.

She would take it from him.

“Shut the door!”

“Shut the door!”

Gianna roared at the security men at the doorway immediately.

“Mom, Sophia gave Michael more than five million dollars. He cashed out big time.”

She said to her mother as she rushed to catch up with Michael who was close to the doorway now.

Charlotte's expression darkened completely at that moment.

If Sophia gave Michael more than five million dollars then there was no way they would let Michael leave this building without forking the money out.

They would take everything if that was the case.

“Micheal, stop right there!”

Charlotte voiced out as she rushed to Michael as well.

The door was closed by the security men so Michael had no choice than to stop. Just as Michael stopped, Gianna got to him.

“Michael...”

She lost her words when the entrance door suddenly opened and a lady dressed in a white sparkling gown entered the premises.

She immediately recognized the lady as Silver Snowman, the steel empress of business, not only that, the Snowman family were the third most influential people in Autumnvale.

Their influence spread across not only Autumvale but other cities as well.

What could she be doing here in Newfound powers.

Could it be she was here to see Sophia.

Sophia had truly gone to the top now!

Gianna was about to smile widely when Silver stopped close to Michael.

“Are you Michael Mason?”

Silver asked politely.
