Unrivaled Warrior novel Chapter 4

Back at a suburban cemetery in Sioux.

Lucian returned to his father's tombstone in despair and fell to his knees. "I'm a terrible person, Dad. I've hurt Fay and Minnie. They despise me. Your granddaughter Minnie sees me as an enemy."

"Don't worry. I'll do everything in my power to make it up to them. No one will ever torment them again."

"As I promised before I joined the army, I'll ensure that your killers pay a heavy price for what they've done. Expect some company on the other side. I know how much you like Sioux Peak. I'll give you a proper funeral next month. I bought Sioux Peak to move your grave to the summit."

"I've also dug a hundred pits at the foot of the mountain. I'll make sure every single person who participated in your demise will be buried six feet under."

"I'll make sure you have all the companions you need in the afterlife."

"Hey Mr. War God, I've prepared the dowry you wanted. Everything is now in Sioux. When will we be picking up your wife from the Harrison family? Hahaha."

Liam Martinez, Lucian's proud assistant, asked excitedly.

"Not for a while."

Lucian got up and shook his head.

The smile on Liam's face froze. He gave Lucian a confused look. "Why not, Mr. War God? We've been preparing for this for such a long time. We can't just abandon it all, right?"

"I said, we are not doing this for a while. Do you understand me?"

Lucian glared at his assistant.

Liam feared Lucian. With how angry his superior was, he could only nod. "I…I got it. I just don't understand why we aren't going. Did something happen?"

Lucian sighed and told him everything that had happened with Freya and Minnie.

Liam looked surprised by what was revealed to him. It was unexpected to see Lucian's life had undergone such a significant change. He even had a seven-year-old daughter.

"So… what do you plan to do now, Mr. War God?" Liam asked weakly.

"I can't propose for now. With how they act around me, Freya would still say no even if I asked for her hand. I'll spend the rest of my life making up for my mistakes. I'll also ensure that Freya's condition is treated," he said.

Liam nodded. There wasn't much he could say. He had never been in love before but knew that a relationship was doomed the moment a woman who gave her all to love gave up. A marriage proposal now would only end in failure.

Marriage would only harm Freya further.

"By the way, don't reveal my identity. Not a word about me being a war god. I promised the old chief before I retired that I am not to disclose the news that the Infernal War God has left the northern border. That would spell trouble for Vandergrift as a whole."

"Enemy nations haven't made a move because they still think you're holding the northern border. I'll make sure this doesn't get leaked."

"There's one more thing, My Lord. After you retired, the old chief passed down the largest state-owned enterprise in Sioux, the Infernal Group, to you. You are the shadow chairman of the Infernal Group. The group currently has several large-scale projects being tendered. Many families, including the Grays and the Harrisons, are involved. Would you like to review them yourself?"

"Do you think I care about participating in a bidding war?"

Lucian shot a glare at Liam and said, displeased, "They can handle themselves. I'm heading home to have dinner with my mother. Don't come to me if nothing important happens. Also, stop calling me Mr. War God. Lucian is fine."
