Everyone was eventually dismissed from the from the training ground, Kathrine was so tired that she just managed to walk to where her car was. Resting on the body of the car, she decided to put a call across to Samantha to come and drive her over to the house as she was so exhausted.
"I'll drive you," she suddenly heard a masculine voice behind her. She turned her bloody face tiredly to the person and saw Derrick, handsomely dressed in his white camo.
"Marshall!" She called softly. He opened the backdoor of the car and carried her before she could even say a word then placed her gently at the backseat of the car.
Then he collected the key of the car from her and then hopped into the driver's seat.
"Marshall, I'm so honoured to be driven by you," she said.
He hummed only but didn't say a word until he pulled over before the Supreme house. Once he got down from the car, Katherine had already sat upright and was about to step down. He held her right arm and helped her step down.
"Easy," he said gently and then helped her inside. He took her to her room and even followed her to the bathroom.
"Marshall, you may leave now, I'll handle it from here." She said nervously. Like why would he follow her inside the bathroom.
"I'm your husband afterall," he said as he got water and washed her face gently with it. Her face had sticky blood therein so he added a little soap to wash her face until it became clean.
Then he carried her and placed her inside the bathtub, of course, she was still with cloth which makes it even weird. The soapy water already covered your body so you can remove all your clothes now and I won't see your nakedness.
She nodded and pulled off all her clothes excluding her bra and pant. It will sound awkward giving him those. Then she looked at him expecting him to leave.
"You didn't go to the training group without a bra and pant, did you?" He asked.
Katherine closed her eyes in embarrassment, this man is stubborn in an hot way. She pulled off her bra and handed over to him.
"The pant,please?" He asked.
She then pulled off her pant and handed it over to him as well, "you can start bathing." He then walked out with all her clothes and undergarments.
When Katherine was done bathing, she walked out with only a towel. Derrick couldn't help but stare at her fresh thigh. She then sat and said, "I thought you would have left, Marshall."
"I watched your fight with those two men, you tried." He said.
"Thank you, Marshall. Those men were far stronger than I am." She said.
"That's why it's called challenge. You challenge people that are stronger than you. I observed your fighting skills and noticed a few place that you are lagging in. If you can work more on those few places, you will be able to take down your enemies quickly and without much effort." Derrick said.
He continued, "everyone has weak point, as you have already learnt. But every individual has a specific weak point, you look out for thag that out as you fight the person. You must also be aware that as you fight, the other person is looking for your weakpoint as well."
He further lectured, "when I was fighting my way to become the god of War years ago, one of the tactics I use is..." He paused intentionally.
"Marshall, please tell me. I'm ready to learn. I'm enjoying the teaching and I'm taking notes of all you are saying." She added desperately, "please Marshall."
"I always pretend to have lost all strength and allow the other party use up their strength then all of a sudden, I strike the person hard at their weak point repeatedly until they pass out," Derrick said, "tomorrow will be your final training and your performance tomorrow will determine if you will be promoted or not."
"Will you like to train with me this night? There is a moderate field at the back of this house, have you checked it out before?" He asked.
"Yes, Marshall, I'll like to train with you." She answered.
"Good, 2AM in the midnight, I'll be waiting for you. Until then, rest very well," then he stood.
Katherine however received a message at this same moment, seeing that the sender was Richard, she checked and read the content and her heart sunk at once. The message reads, "thanks for killing my father, Katherine. My father died a few seconds after you left. All thanks to you but watch your back. You have a few hours left to die."
Derrick who had just stood noticed Katherine's troubled countenance so he asked, "something is wrong obviously, do you want to tell me?"
Katherine shook her head and looked up at Derrick, "No Marshall. I'll handle it."
He nodded and walked out of her room.
Mr. Caldwell died a few seconds after she left? She was stunned. Although the man was already close to death before she could even administer treatment to him but why must he die after she had treated him? It's making it look like she was responsible for death whereas, she had indeed administered a solution that will really help his condition.
Katherine laid on the bed and began to think about it until she slept off. She woke up hours later and went to check on her kids. Seeing that the boys were already asleep, she went closer to them and kissed them in the forehead then covered them well in a duvet.
She went to Marie's room as well and saw her sleeping sound. All thanks to Samantha, she had really been doing a good job on ensuring that the kids are doing just fine.
Katherine then went back to her room, checking her wrist watch, she saw that the time was 12 AM on the dot. She has two hours left to commence the training with the god of war. She was kind of nervous about how the training would look like.
Honestly, she had heard of how dreadful the god of war is. Infact, she had witnessed his brutality first hand. This is a man who slaughter people like he doesn't even have a heart. But mysteriously, he had never showed that part of him to her, or perhaps because she hasn't angered him yet? Well, irrespective, he still looked like a man who can tame his anger and make rational decision.
She didn't bother to sleep again out of fear that she may ended up sleeping pass the time she had agreed to train with the god of war. She wanted to text Richard to tell him that she's absolutely innocent of his father's death but she retracted. He won't believe her so she just have to be ready for whatever attack he is sending her way.
Telling the god of war might not be a good idea cause, she would feel very indebted to him. He had already helped her countless times, he didn't want to bother him about this eventhough it's life threatening.
She got busy with her phone until it was a few minutes to 2AM, she got dressed in one of her uniforms and walked to the backfield of the supreme house. She saw a tall figure already standing at the central field.
She walked towards him and salueted, "Marshall."
"Every great man you see has a secrete but this secrete doesn't always work for everyone in most times. This is why, even if this great man writers a book that contains all his secretes for his followers, they may read and enjoy but may never get to become like him," he said.
The field wasn't so dark, the light of the moon was bright enough to make them see eachother and the surroundings. Plus there were streetlights across the field and across the supreme house.
Katherine listened keenly to him, "If I teach you what works for me, you may learn it and still fail in the morning during your final battle." Derrick added.
"Fight me," he said and stood in a position ready to fight.
"Marshall, you will flawlessly beat me. What's the need?" Katherine asked.
"I won't be hard on you at all. I just want to help you find where your strength lies, in the process, try to find my weakness as well," he said.
"Got it, Marshall," Katherine charged at him at once. As he had promised, he was gentle with her, he guided all her moves easily that Katherine felt like crying at some point. How can he be this skilled?
"Marshall, you are too skilled. Even when you are gentle on me, I'm still not a match for you," as soon as Katherine finished speaking, he charged at her and she responded at once.
The training lasted until 5 PM, Katherine had been able to learn more skills, though she would have to do a lot of practice to be a master of the skill she had acquired today.
"Thank you so much, Marshall. I need to rest and prepare for the final task," she said.
"Alright," Derrick said.
