Chapter 163


    They were shuddering so fiercely, it looked like they were having an episode of fits. They heard what


    Hades and that soldier called Kingsley. Ares. There was only one man in Qustia who had that name,


    and he was the fearsome God of War. He was a terrifying existence that struck fear into the hearts of


    the Sweoyan Empire’s warriors. They looked at each other, and what they saw was despair in each


    other’s eyes. Ares is in the fray? The empire has lost.While they were contemting their fates, three


    helicopters hadnded on the clearing beside them. The support team had arrived. At the same time, a


    dozen jeeps were closing in as well, and clouds of dust billowed behind them. Four Coliree Ind


    warriors dragged Jonas and Karl into the choppers, while everyone else hopped into the jeeps and


    left.Kingsley looked at Hades. “Contact The Anonymous ASAP, and tell me everything about the


    interrogation once you’re done.”“Yes, sir!” Hades answered and hopped into the helicopter, leaving with


    his soldiers.When the dust had settled and everyone had left, Kingsley went over to Leoric’s ce. He


    knocked on the door. “It’s me, Kingsley.”Sounds of hurried footsteps approached the door, and Leoric


    opened it a momentter. He looked outside, an expression of fear etched on his face. He quickly told


    Kingsley toe in. Aside from Yvonne, there were three other men in the house, and all of them were


    bandaged. They were all Leoric’s men who were previously injured by Kenzo and his men.The men


    were huddled together, looking fearful. What happened outside was akin to a shootout, so of course


    they would be terrified.Leoric asked Kingsley to take a seat. He then gulped and asked with a trembling


    voice, “M-Mr. Nicholson, w-was that a shootout? I think I heard something explode too.” “That was the


    tear gas,” Kingsley said. “We did shoot a little, but I sustained no casualties.”“T-Tear gas?” Everyone


    gasped, and their hearts raced. It was not even a skirmish for Kingsley, but it was a different story for


    Leoric and everyone else. They would usually only fight with bats in the gang wars. Knives and sharp


    weapons were rarely used too. And Mr. Nicholson throws tear gas grenades and carries guns around


    like they’re nothing? Holy smokes. Leoric was starting to shiver. Who is he? Not even Jarett can fight


    on this scale.Kingsley saw through them, and he smiled. “My identity and what happened tonight is a


    secret. Don’t say a word to anyone, understand?” He was just trying to remind Leoric and everyone to


    keep a secret, so Kingsley sounded friendly.Much to his surprise, Leoric and his men knelt before him


    right away.“W-We won’t say a word, Mr. Nicholson! Never!”“I didn’t see anything! I have no idea what


    happened!”“Please don’t kill us, Mr. Nicholson!”Kingsley was surprised that they were so terrified, and


    he touched his face. “Am I that scary? Well, stand up, you guys.” He tapped on the couch’s armrest. “I


    have no reason to kill you if you keep this a secret.”Leoric and his men got up, feeling relieved that


    Kingsley had given them mercy.“Don’t worry, Mr. Nicholson. We won’t tell anyone what happened


    tonight, not even to Miss Jeanne.”Kingsley nodded and looked at Yvonne. “I hope you aren’t


    scared.”“Of course not!” Yvonne beamed. “You promised that I would be safe. I knew you wouldn’t


    break your promise, so I wasn’t scared.”“You got guts. Perhaps someday you could really be a


    heroine.”Content held by N?velDrama.Org.
