On hearing the surprising news that his relatives came to visit him, he was at first surprised, before quickly coming to a realization. He did not know if he should laugh or cry.
He should have expected it. He was no longer the insignificant Clark that he was 4 years ago; he now had an exalted status.
His originally cold relatives suddenly coming to meet him now no longer seemed surprising, if their motive was to come to lick his boots and make their relationships better with him.
“The words of the wise are always right”. He sighed ruefully.
Pursue greatness, and greatness will come voluntarily to you. This was the exact template of what was happening. He had never seen his relatives physically before, but now they were coming to him voluntarily.
Well, dwelling on such insignificant matters was not his style. He calmly sat down on his master chair, before telling his butler to let them in.
A minute after he gave the order,
At the edge of one of the countries bordering the Spartan republic, the spy men dynasty, a large battle was currently going on in the nearby forest between the borders of the 2 countries.Gunshots rang repeatedly, forming a loud cacophony of ear-splitting sounds, as soldiers died every minute like chickens in a slaughter hall.The forest floor was already dyed all over with blood, but this did not deter the soldiers as they continued attacking each other like they had a thousand-year-old vendetta.This was one of the few mercenary missions of average scale, that the Pendragon mercenary organization took and got involved in.In the terms of the Mercenary Alliance, small-scale missions are those involving only one mercenary organization. High-scale missions involve between 5 and above amount of mercenary organizations, to ensure their successful completion.While the ones that they were currently engaged in, average scale missions, were the ones that
“Ok, boys. Let’s move, we have a bus to catch”. Emily clapped to rally her mercenaries, as they quickly stood up, getting ready to leave.After Clark left, she quickly took over as the new temporary Commander of the mercenary group by default. This was a rule that they already set after Clark started leaving after some missions.She guided the mercenaries to carefully pack and arrange their loot before they all went out of the forest.Their destination was the Spy men dynasty. As their next mission was in the dynasty, they intended to directly go there to not waste money unnecessarily for other travels.This brought the problem of them not having a private transport vessel again. When they finally get enough remuneration from their missions, Emily already placed getting a private exotic jet as their priority target to purchase.As they just underwent a huge battle, they all needed rest, and she was sensitive and perceptive enough
In the extremely luxurious and militaristic styled presidential villa of the Spartan republic, the rarely seen President Leonidas of the republic sat on his personal outdoors gold chair to sunbathe.As he was topless with only a nice pair of beach shorts with his name branded on it using gold, his buff muscles, and enormous hulk-like chest was in full display.His strong leg muscles and well-developed veins stood out conspicuously from his outstretched legs that rested lazily on his pool water. This was his leisure sunbathing time, after his daily routine training.Even as the strongest individual of the Spartan republic, he still needed to train as he was not the strongest in the world yet. The world was just too big and enormous, housing and hiding frightening talents.There were some secrets that he and some few knew in the whole Spartan republic, which prompted him to train more. He was never complacent; his training hours were gold
The sun shone down on its full splendor, illuminating the large mansion with its shine while making its walls and surrounding environment sparkle with a light golden sheen.After Clark got the mission from General Vincent, he immediately put his now enormous influence into play by issuing a region-wide search for the thief. With the silent help of the General, his decree quickly came into effect across South Sparta.Despite the enormous mobilization of the regions’ intelligence agencies, this thief still proved to be extremely elusive, proving the General’s words that he was probably a spoiled brat from a high-grade country.To show contempt for the search methods being utilized against him, he struck again thrice during the last week.What really pissed off Clark was that this brat targeted him specifically, as 2 of those theft attacks were aimed at Vatican City.The first one was the next day immediately after he issued the decree, wh
On the way back as Clark escorted his friends to their various destinations, he finally decided to tell them one of the less sensitive plans in his stashed blueprint of missions.“Guys, before we part again, I want to inform you all that I’ll likely go to the exobeast training base of the Spartan army. I intend to go there, to see if I can find the right catalyst to induce my next breakthrough”.“If any one of you intend to come with me, you can just indicate, I’ll generously pay for your registration and work it out”.“I’m a nice friend, right?” He winked at his friends, who grew dazed after hearing what he just heard.“What the f*ck? We are still stuck at the 1st rank, and you in the 2nd rank are still not satisfied, you still want to hit the next bottleneck. Training maniac, you’re a real freaking training bastard”.Though they felt like punching their friend to reset his co
Everyone was so focused on what their Major was handing over to his follower, that they all failed to think about the repercussions of when an all-purpose emp device was activated.What brought them more surprise and questions, was that how did their Major know that someone was hiding within their midst.Their expressions changed from surprised to shocked, then to disgraced and humiliated, when the small figure of this mischievous thief who gave them so much trouble was finally unrivaled due to his failing and fluctuating armor system.The youth in question was also surprised, as a horrified expression quickly overtook his face on seeing so many eyes suddenly turn to focus on him.“The scenario was not supposed to be like this!!”Unlike what was expected of a now notoriously infamous thief, he was a handsome boy with blonde hair tied to form a manly bun like those of the ancient attacking footballer, Erling Haaland.Despite havin
Broom!! Clark’s gloved hands shook to the vibration of the enhanced military power bike, as it advanced crazily like a bull on steroids. His armor already covered his face, so the fierce wind pressure did not affect him.As he drove in deeper, outside light quickly got cut off away, as the darkness of the underground slowly took over. Only the faint electricity light illuminated the walls and the surrounding.Seeing that his pursuer was still determined to go after him, the thief said nothing and just squeezed more power output from his crazy bike.2 figures blew across the underground passage like the raging wind, leaving afterimages and scattered dust behind which quickly merged with the wind on appearing.With their current speed, the fast and furious squad led by Toretto in the ancient action movie looked just like children’s stuff.Noticing that despite his speed, his opponent was still a little faster, Clark finally took the level
After Clark got back home to his mansion, he responded mildly to the cheerful greetings of his workers as he went directly to his room and plopped down on his bed.It was already late, so he had nothing to do outside again. He laid on his bed while looking at his ceiling, as he tried without much success to organize his random thoughts.Despite him knowing that it was a fluke and wanting to get over it, he could not. His thoughts could not help but go back to what just happened.He knew that him taking a defeat so personally was childish, but he just could not get over it. It was a common military mission to bust a thief, but he was now feeling that it was a personal challenge.After finally sorting out his thoughts, he was surprised as after going through his experiences, he discovered that this was his first personal setback against a same ranked soldier.He didn’t know why, but he felt emotionally defeated for a reason. This defeat made hi
