A few seconds pass since Zhu Wushang looks into the leader of the men in black robes eyes and the primitive fear of the unknown has intensified within the heart of this leader. He began to repress his fear and slowly utter a question. “What… what are you?” The man cautiously asks as if he’s walking on thin ice that one wrong step and the cold dark ocean under the ice would suddenly swallow him whole. “Zhu Wushang, Director of the Empire Defense Initiative Enforcement, and a human. I thought you already knew before you decided to mess with our date.” Answer Zhu Wushang. “Now, My turn. Messing with my date like this, What do you want from me? Tried to gain a moral high ground while apprehending me by using some low-level BS to frame me? Then after using key information you got from me to assault the Qin Empire? Is that it?” He asks. What Zhu Wushang asks was a common practice that the secret intelligence agency organization might do to their enemy. If it were him, he might have done
The man was 2 meters tall and his finely big muscled body told them about the origin of a warrior this man had.“Greetings, foreign god… I am Mars, the god of war.”Said the man who introduced himself as Mars, The Roman God Of War.The man's tall body stood straight, black jeans and black leather boots, his body was protected by an armor that looked like a muscle that the old Greek warrior would wear when they were going to war. The armor looks like it was made from bronze, but Zhu Wushang was sure that it was not that simple. The armor is covered with a red and black long leather coat.“How can I know that you are the real deal? You might be an intimidating-looking guy and might be strong to the point that you could hold your own against me, But where is the proof that you’re a God of War?” Zhu Wushang asks, trying to gauge the ability of the other.The man who called himself Mars is amusing and lets out an intimidating smile.“Then I’ll show you proof” The man reached his hand in fr
Hearing that, The leader of the men in black robes immediately knelt and prostrated.“What! Your Excellency Mars! Please! Do not do that If you did that then all of our research relates to your war domain! All of our order clerics would have… they would have!”“Yes, They would have killed you… or worse.” Mars said at the black-robed men leader's face.In this world, magic has been divided into two categories.The first one was the magic that used the magical energy of the user including a profound understanding of the magic theory plus a long year of practice and experiment to produce single stable magic for magicians to use. Even if that magic only has a function no different than a cigarette lighter. It still requires great resources and understanding of said magic to not make it unstable and turn into a bomb that might destroy or burn the user's hand.The second one was the magic that used God’s favor and blessing. This kind of magic didn’t need a deep understanding of magic theory
Aurelia who saw this leader pleading like his life depended on it began to sympathize.“Wushang… Can you…” Aurelia wanted to ask again for this man's leniency but she knew that the man beside her came from a world where killing and massacring were considered the norm. So, she didn’t want to impose her will on him too much. She doesn’t want to be that kind of girlfriend who is selfish and likes to impose her will on her boyfriend.Zhu Wushang didn’t respond to Aurelia but continued looking at the leader with cold eyes. His silence makes the air heavier, the uncomfortable feeling begin to seep into both the leader and Aurelia’s heart.From the signal of one of his monsters that resides within his shadow called him a moment ago. Zhu Wushang knew that the leader was lying to the naive Aurelia because the leader knew that Zhu Wushang can’t comfortably say no to the woman beside him. Aurelia was not yet his fiance but could be considered that both of them have the same mind and are attracte
Mars looks toward Zhu Wushang who looks at where the leader of the black-robed men retreats with a knowing smile. Feeling a gaze that fell on him, Zhu Wushang looked at Mars. “So, your excellency Mars. Can you tell me why you want to meet me?” Zhu Wushang asks warily. Mars smiled, amused at Zhu Wushang's reaction and warry. He, as the god of war himself, knows that Zhu Wushang has enough power to go toe to toe with him, hell, he might even get his ass kicked if he’s not careful when fighting against Zhu Wushang. But this guy was still so cautious toward him. “Isn’t it obvious? I live in my home minding my own business, then suddenly a stranger walked right into the middle of my front door. I would check him out even if he didn’t do anything bad.” Mars explains while shrugging. Hearing Mars' reason, Zhu Wushang doesn't know what to say. He awkwardly laughed scratching his head. “So… That ancient building… It belongs to you?” Asked Zhu Wushang. “Nah… It does not belong to me… um…
“What? Why do I want to do that? I’m a god of war, not an idiot god who has a screw loose in the head like those evil gods such as the god of slaughter, the god of the massacre. Hell, even they didn’t have a self-destructive tendency to destroy themselves and their followers by putting themselves in conflict with a strong god who they fully knew could kill them with one slap. Do I look like a masochist to you?” Mars asks back with a face that has the word “What the hell are you talking about?” over all his faces.Aurelia, who heard both Zhu Wushang's question and Mars' answer giggled uncontrollably while covering her mouth as she tried to hold her laughter.That was because 80% of what Zhu Wushang described as the symptoms of those idiot young masters in his world. At first, she didn’t want to believe that there will be such an idiot person who seems to like to seek thrill by courting death, just like many novels she had read from the Qin Empire.“Girl, What are you laughing about? Di
Zhu Wushang thinks about the topic before asking again.“Then… What sort of power could bind all of the gods in this world to honor this oath? That tells me nonsense things like the good in your heart or the respect of honor. I don’t believe that such a thing could bind all of you to honor this oath. There must be a higher power that enforces this oath to all of you…. Am I Right?”Zhu Wushang smiled, while a complicated expression mixed with fear, awkwardness, and awe showed on Mars' face.“Why do you want to know that?” Mars asks warily.“There’s a saying in your world that says “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” So, I just want to avoid some trouble by learning some street rules around here.” Answer Zhu Wushang.Mars then thinks about it for a moment before nodding.“Ok, but you need to come to meet with us at this address tomorrow,” Mars said and gave his business card to Zhu Wushang.[Mars Security Service.060 74X XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXEmperor Road, Floor 80, Olympus Building]W
— Morning - Rome - 10.00 AM —Outside the Roman senate building, many cars and reporter vans from many news channels and television networks are parked in the parking lot for the reporters. The crowd of reporters stood in front of the double glass electronic door at the entrance senate building, waiting for the man on the topic that they want to make a report on today.Some of the reporters start to look at the watch anxiously as this is already the appointment time that the other has made. They wait for some time before the armored cars leading the procession of vehicles drive into the walls of the senate building and pass through the front door.All of the reporters quickly move toward the front most of the barrier trying to get near the red carpet path as much as possible to get their chance to ask some questions from the people within the black armored limo that just stopped at the red carpet. At the moment when the car door was opened hundreds of flashes from the camera were sho
