Triumph Above All Chapter 1


    Chapter 1


    Beads of sweat could be seen trickling down a woman’s neck in a dimly lit warm room.


    “No… No…” An angry murmur could be heard echoing throughout the room.


    Huff!


    Suddenly, Skr Stone was startled awake as he noticed the concerned look on an air-stewardess’


    face as soon as he woke up.


    It seemed that he had dreamed the same peculiar dream or more urately a vivid memory again.


    The memory turned out to be how Skr was ambushed and drugged by someone while he was on a


    secret mission. In order to keep innocent women safe, he desperately clung onto what little rational


    thought he had left to leave the crowd before finally passing out in some bushes behind a mansion.


    All he had to do was stay put for the night and he would be fine the next morning. However, fate


    decided to pull a prank on him. Apparently, he was found and rescued by the girl who lived in the


    mansion.


    However, as soon as he was startled awake, he lost control and shoved the girl on the ground before


    viting her.

    When Skr finally regained his senses, he realized that his enemies were still atrge and was


    worried about getting the girl’s family involved in his mess, so he left immediately without saying a


    word.


    However, a war broke out at the Northern borders after he hadpleted his mission. It turned out that


    the Northern borders were invaded by hundreds of thousands of enemy troops.


    So, Skr rushed to the frontlines to defend his country. It was a brutal war back then. The struggles


    he faced during the battle made Skr frown.


    However, he was deeply bothered whenever he thought about the blood-stained sheets.


    There was nothing he could do to forget about the memory.


    Since he could not leave his post back then, he ordered his assistant general to look for the girl from


    the mansion. He swore to give her a lifetime of glory after he had made a name for himself.


    The promise was not the only thing he left with that girl, she was also given a bank card that contained


    all of his savings from back then.


    Although the amount was barely even a fraction of what he had then, it was still enough for her to live


    quite affluently in a small town.


    It turned out that not only did the woman said that she would wait for Skr’s glorious return, she even


    gave him a picture of herself after epting the card.


    Although she was not exactly the most beautiful looking woman in the picture, she was quite attractive


    herself.


    It seemed that Skr had spent thest five years imagining a peaceful life with the girl in Cloutopia


    while staring at her picture.


    That was exactly why he decided to retire and live a simple life after the peace treaty was signed. It


    turned out that not only did he want to repay his parents for raising him, he desperately wanted to


    propose to that girl and fulfill the promise he made to her all those years ago…


    Meanwhile at Cloudtopia international airport.


    “Hurry! Get in line, quick!”


    A woman was leading a group of more than ten men could be heard saying that as they rushed to the


    exit.


    None of them were dressed the same as some were in suits while others were in uniform. However,


    every single one of them stomped their feets in unison as they knew that someone extremely powerful


    would arrive in Cloudtopia soon.


    Everyone else moved away from the group as they were not sure who wasing to warrant such a


    shy disy.


    Soon, Skr strode out of the airport confidently.


    “Sir, the higher ups have scheduled your retirement ceremony to be held in two days. So, ording to


    the agreement signed, all of your wealth and power will be restored on that day. Oh and the districts of


    Nirth, Dracovia and Midtown are yours to rule. Courtesy of the higher ups.”


    The armor-d woman came forward and handed Skr a document before saying, “Sir, these are the


    details of the three districts that I mentioned earlier. Please have a look.”


    After a simple nce, Skr asked, “Have you sent the wedding invitation to my Fiancée, Yvonne Sue


    yet?”


    “It was given to her yesterday,” The armor-d woman replied.


    Skr nodded and said, “I want her to know that her man isn’t just some no name simple footsoldier.


    No, I want her to know that her man is the literal god of war and has wealth that could easily rival a


    country in two days!”


    “Sir, I found out that Ms. Sue is on a date with a spoiled rich brat in a cafe right now.” The armor-d


    woman reported nervously.


    Skr was shocked to hear that. His demeanor was a stark contrast to how confident he looked just


    moments ago. He said, “What? A date? Was she forced? Take me to the cafe right now!”


    “Your ride is waiting for you at the exit, sir.”


    After that, Dianne Zander took a quick nce at the group before nervously asking Skr, “Sir, I’ll


    dismiss them and send them home now. So, is the wee partyter tonight canceled then?”


    “Come on now, you’ve been with me for three years. Have you not understood me yet?”


    Skr frowned before entering the jeep that was parked by the exit.


    Dianne turned to the group and said, “You are all dismissed. Just head back home now.”


    “I told you that our boss isn’t a fan of meaningless ceremonies.”


    “Sorry about that.” A middle-aged man apologized.


    Meanwhile in a private room of a cafe half an hourter.


    Yvonne was dressed stunningly and was having quite the decent conversation with a young man sitting


    in front of her.


    The man was called Harry Chase and was the heir of the second most affluent family in Cloudtopia.


    In all honesty, Yvonne had shown interest in him before this. However, since she was a nobody, Harry


    was not interested in her until something incredibly strange happened the day before.


    Apparently, a four-star general showed up at Yvonne’s house abruptly and handed two invitations to


    Yvonne. It was an invitation to the retirement ceremony of the god of war himself.


    Those simple invites had stirred up quite themotion in the entire city.


    Yvonne’s grandfather was so emotional that he was in a puddle of tears while eximing, “Oh, the


    heavens have smiled upon my family. The heavens have given me the blessings of the great


    Commander!”


    Every single member of the Sue family could not wait to butter up to their new guest.


    Harry was no exception as he was trying to butter up to Yvonne then.


    Yvonne on the other hand was clearly enjoying herself at the moment.


    However, Yvonne’s cousin, Yulia Sue seemed very disinterested in the whole ordeal.


    “Say, Yulia, why don’t you share your thoughts about the Commander’s retirement ceremony as well?”


    Yvonne said.


    “I have noments.” Yulia shook her head.


    She would be lying if she said that she was not jealous about her cousin being invited to the


    Commander’s retirement ceremony. It seemed that even someone as proud as her would be jealous of


    Yvonne to be invited to meet someone as powerful as the Commander himself.


    However, meeting the Commander herself would be nothing more than a distant and unreachable


    dream to someone as insignificant as Yulia.


    Suddenly, the door was pushed open just as Yulia was about to say something as Skr stormed into


    the room abruptly.
