Chapter 1

On the Southwest border... War between the Nine Provinces calmed down.

The fortresses were secured. Each of the impenetrable fortresses instilled

fear into the enemies! At that moment, within one of the big buildings, a

ruler observed a young man. A scowl creased his face. "Are you really

planning to return to the Middle Province? You'd like to keep this position

of Supreme Warrior a secret for now?" As the ruler, the old man stared into

the eyes of the man in front of him. His gaze was filled with respect. Behind

the young man were the recently anointed Nine Great Gods of War. The

Nine Great Gods of War were meritorious. In just five year's time, they

contributed greatly. Their existence struck fear into their enemies' hearts.

The Nine Great Gods of War were given the official title as Gods of War.

They enjoyed matchless power and wealth, and would soon be returning to

the Nine Provinces, each ruling over a province of their own. They had the

power to decide life and death. However, at that moment, the Nine Great

Gods of War stood humbly behind the young man. Fane Wood, the one

bestowed by Daxia with the title of Supreme Warrior. His authority was

beyond that of the Gods of War, the most exalted. Daxia was shocked. The

media originally planned to officially announce the identities of the Nine

Great Gods of War along with the Supreme Warrior. However, for some

reason, they had only announced the identity of the Nine Great Gods of War.

As for the Supreme Warrior's identity, it became a mystery. "Mm! I wonder

how Selena is doing now? Since it's settled here, they don't need me

anymore!" The hint of a gentle smile finally appeared on that man's chiseled

face. Selena was his woman, his wife. "Master, can we go with you to meet

our master's wife?" Behind him, one of the Nine Great Gods of War, Abner

Young, asked curiously. If people found out that the Nine Great Gods of

War behind Fane, with their outstanding service, were his disciples, who

knew what their reaction would be?! "Let's talk about that some other time!"

Fane sighed, seemingly falling into a pensive mood. Five years ago, the enemies counterattacked. Daxia suffered heavy losses and conscripted

warriors from all over the country. The Middle Province's Taylor family

were trapped by some scheme, forcing the Taylor family to enroll one of

their younger generations to set an example for the Middle Province City.

Old Master Taylor was advanced in age, Master Taylor had to maintain

order, and Young Master Taylor was the only one from the younger

generation. He was the only male heir. Naturally, Old Master Taylor was

against having his only grandson to fight on the battlefield as he feared

having his bloodline ended. However… The Taylor family could not back

out of this. Coincidentally, the delivery boy Fane appeared right then. Old

Master Taylor had a sudden epiphany and made Fane marry into the Taylor

family by faking a marriage with the Taylor family's second daughter. That

allowed Fane to head to the battlefield in Young Master Taylor's stead as a

member of the Taylor family. Of course, Fane had his own conditions as

well. It was to have Old Master Taylor pay him one million bucks for his

sick mother's treatment. Very quickly, the Taylor family's second daughter

was forced to marry Fane the delivery boy. That simple wedding ceremony

made Selena Taylor into the joke of the century. On the night of the

wedding, the dispirited Selena ended up being the one to initiate the

marriage consummation with Fane after becoming drunk. The next

morning, she cried. On the same morning, Fane was enlisted by the army.

That parting lasted five years. Over the course of five years, Fane had

experienced countless life and death situations. However, he managed to

endure those hardships with the thought of Selena waiting for him at home.

In five years, he transformed from the b*stard son of the family into a major

figure. 'Selena, don't you worry. I'll definitely honor my responsibility for

you!' Fane gripped his fists. With the thought of meeting Selena soon, his

usually tranquil heart felt a twinge of excitement. … Four days later, a

private plane descended slowly onto Middle Province International Airport.

"Middle Province! What a nostalgic place!" Stepping foot onto this land

once again, the corner of Fane's mouth showed the hint of a smile. Fane looked at Lana Zechs, then stated slowly, "From the moment I left the

Southwestern battlefield, I'm no longer the Supreme Warrior. From now on,

you can just call me brother!" "Yes, mas—Brother Fane!" Lana nodded.

She was assigned to Middle Province and would be stationed here. She was

happy to be returning here with her master. An eye-catching Rolls-Royce

Phantom with the plate A99999 was at the airport exit. There was a

bodyguard with sunglasses that respectfully opened the car door as a person

in his forties came out. If anyone from a higher class were to find out that

this person was Mason Drake, the richest person in Middle Province, their

jaws would surely hit the ground. A person that could compel Mason to

personally pick him up from the airport was obviously no ordinary person.

"Today will be worth it if I can see the face of the Queen of Hell!" Mason

lamented. He knew full well what a God of War represented. Just as he

finished his sentence, a man and woman nearby walked toward him.

"Goddess of war, Queen of Hell, Lana Zechs is here!" exclaimed one of the

bodyguards respectfully as he saw them. "Let's go!" Mason adjusted his

shirt. For the first time, he walked over ever so carefully toward Lana.

"Mason Drake of the Drake family from Middle Province welcomes the

goddess of war's return! We've already prepared the War God's Residence

for you. Here's a black card. I hope the goddess of war likes it!" Mason led

his men to Lana, bowing slightly as he passed her a black card. However,

Lana frowned and calmly stated, "Your information source is quite good.

As expected of the Middle Province's richest person!" With that said, she

casually looked at the black card and laughed coldly. "Since you've

arranged a place for me to stay, I'll oblige. As for this card, you can save it

for yourself!" "Yes, of course!" Mason wiped away his cold sweat before

daring to raise his head. He then kept the black card. "This is?" Mason

looked at Fane as he probed with a question. "We're just comrades that

joined the army together!" "It's by chance that I'm returning to Middle

Province and we kept each other company! You guys go on. I'll grab a taxi

and head back!" Fane smiled faintly, then looked at Lana. "Keep in contact on the phone!" "Of course!" Lana nodded in response. Upon hearing the

exchange, Mason's heart skipped a beat. That was the private plane to send

the Gods of War. For this person to return alongside the Queen of Hell, his

background was definitely something special. Furthermore, to his surprise,

the way Lana looked at that man was filled with respect. Very soon, a taxi

was parked outside the gate of a row of villas. That was where the Taylor

family was located! Fane, having been through countless life and death

situations, could not help but smile bitterly as he looked upon the villa's

gates. Back then, if not for Old Master Taylor's threat with his own life,

Selena would not have been willing to marry him. It was also due to the

Taylor family's irresponsible attitude toward her marriage that caused her

to feel disappointed. That led to her getting drunk and having developed

relations with a little delivery boy like him. Although the marriage was

originally a fake one, Selena had lost her virginity to him. Just before he

departed, she told him that she would wait for his return. That touched Fane

greatly. At that moment, Fane had finally returned! —
