War God's Vengeance: My Fiancée's Family Will All Pay

"You've finally decided to turn your phone back on, Callan. I assume you're back with your family; is everyone doing okay?"Gunthar's booming voice came through the line. Each word sounded like a battle cry, warming my heart."There's a little trouble at home, General, but I can handle it." I swallowed hard, fighting back the crack in my voice. The last thing I wanted was to bring my negative emotions back to the unit.But Gunthar was a veteran of a thousand battles. He caught the strain in my voice, and his tone turned deadly serious. "Stay put. I'm coming to HC myself. It's high time the Sentinel's Edge plaque you earned sees the light of day."His words sent a stream of warmth rushing through my veins. I'd spent ten years guarding the nation's borders and earned that plaque with my blood and soul.With a sharp crack, Jude slapped the phone out of my hand and stomped hard on it. "You won't stop playing make-believe and calling the General, will you? You must think you're in so

By the time I reached Piper, a concrete slab was already pinning her leg to the ground. Blood soaked through her pants.My eyes were bloodshot. With both hands, I grabbed the edge of the slab to lift it with every ounce of strength I had."Help him! We can't let someone die; it'll tank the company's stock price!"Velda's urgent voice rang out, but the company's profits were her only concern.A few bodyguards finally stepped forward to help.The moment the slab was lifted, my heart stopped cold. A piece of steel rebar had pierced straight through Piper's calf, and she'd passed out from the pain.With trembling hands, I tore strips from my shirt to wrap the sound, the pain in my chest making it impossible to breathe. Her face was deathly pale, and her breathing was faint as blood continued to seep from her wounds."She should've watched where she was going. Now she's got no one to blame."Jude hopped down from the excavator and clapped his hands with a taunting grin. "Go on the

Gunthar's thunderous shout scared Jude half to death. As he raised his trembling hand, the pathetic sight reminded me of the drug traffickers Talon Unit used to corner at the borders ten years ago.Gunthar grabbed him by the collar and pointed at the plaque. "Open your damn eyes and take a good look. Who the hell gave you the nerve to tear down a First-Class Meritorious Hero's family home?"Jude had wet his pants from fright. He dropped to his knees, and his words tumbled over each other. "I-I didn't know! If I'd known, I wouldn't have dared touch him, not even in a million years!"I let out a cold laugh and picked up the crushed phone. "Earlier, you told me that Velda is the law, didn't you? Well, can she still save you?"He paled and broke down in tears. "I'm so sorry! I swear! I thought you were just some loser…"I crouched down to look into his eyes. "You said you were going to dump me and Piper into the river, so I'll give you that chance right now. Do you even have the guts

Piper's leg was fully healed a year later. Seeing her walk around the house finally lifted the weight that had been crushing on my chest. The team of medical specialists sent by the state had worked a miracle and healed her leg to a perfect recovery.Our parents' graves were relocated to a martyrs' cemetery. The gold letters shining on the headstone were a silent testament to the honor they deserved.Every time I visited, I would silently murmur, "Mom, Dad… I didn't let you down."I founded Apex Draconic Technologies with my military pension and a new patent. The company grew at a breakneck pace and turned into the industry's new powerhouse in just a year.As for Jude, he was sentenced to life imprisonment on multiple felony charges, with no possibility of parole. I heard that the other inmates educated him on proper behavior, and every day was a living hell for him.Mercer Group was charged with astronomical fines for multiple crimes, including tax evasion and embezzlement of s
