Celena was still looking worried and anxious as she asked, "Can we do that? But we don't know if Mr. Lynch has left or not. Even if he's still in Drunham City, haven't you heard what they said earlier? The garrison doesn't take visitors at all now. How could we meet him?"Liam grabbed Celena's hand and smiled before he said, "We'll find out if we can meet him if we just try, won't we?"He led Celena out of the living room as soon as he said that and was ready to head to the garrison.As soon as they walked out, they saw Cheryl standing at the entrance, looking arrogant.At first, Cheryl had an indifferent expression. However, she sneered as soon as she saw Liam and Celena and said, "Oh, are you going to head to the garrison right now, Celena? You have to do your best, then. After all, you're carrying the burden of building a good relationship with the new commander-in-chief on your shoulders now. "Did you think you relaxed just because you have the project with the Max Group in y
After Yafe, Sherah, Celena, and Liam got out of the car, they walked straight to the gates. Yafe was all smiles as he said to the soldiers on guard, "Hello, sir. I'm Yafe Stone. I'm here to see Mr. Lynch. We have something urgent to discuss with him."However, the soldier did not budge at all after he heard Yafe's words. His expression got even colder instead.He pointed to the group of people at the side and said icily, "See those people over there? All of them said they had something urgent to discuss with Mr. Lynch. I'm sorry. Mr. Lynch has already been transferred out of here. He left Drunham City an hour ago."Both Yafe and Sherah were dumbfounded after hearing that.Sherah even exclaimed, "What? Mr. Lynch has left Drunham City?"The soldier frowned and looked at Sherah with a stern look as he said icily, "Ma'am, this is the Drunham City garrison. It's not a market."Yafe smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, sir. I'm sorry. We have something important to discuss. Ma
Yafe was way more clever than Sherah, and he was almost scared to death by Sherah's foolish behavior. He quickly grabbed Sherah's arm and pulled her back."You're the one being insolent and also an embarrassment! Hurry up and get out of the way!" Yafe growled at Sherah.Then, he quickly smiled at the soldier apologetically and said, "Don't be angry, sir. She's not sensible. Please don't stoop to her level."Here's the thing, sir. Our family is collaborating with the Max Group. We're here because of that as well. Can you please do us a favor and let us go in and meet Mr. Lynch?"However, the soldier's gaze was still frosty. He glared at Yafe and said icily, "Enough with the nonsense. Everybody who came here today said they're collaborating with Mr. Lynch and have something important to discuss with him."If you're collaborating with Mr. Lynch, show me the documents. I'll let you in once you bring me the documents. Get out of here now or I'll shoot!"The soldier's patience was comp
Sherah was infuriated. She felt her cheeks burning in embarrassment because of the crowd's ridicule. The sight of Liam and Celena made her feel even more upset.Sherah stepped forward, stopping Liam and Celena. She glared at them and bellowed, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear? Mr. Lynch already left Drunham City an hour ago, and the new commander-in-chief is not taking any visitors. Hurry up and get back there. Why did you get out here and make a fool of yourselves?"Sherah could sense the crowd poking fun at her behind her as she spoke. Her cheeks were so flushed that they were burning.Yafe glared at Celena in embarrassment as well and said icily, "You're the person in charge of the project, and you've been asked by my old man to visit the new commander. But look at you. You're just dilly-dallying. I have to take the lead in everything!"Celena felt wronged and said, "I-I'll ask again—""What's there to ask?" Sherah barked before Celena could finish. Then, she pushed Celena's arm
Sherah looked incredibly disdainful as she barked, "Who do you think you are, Liam? Do you think we'll be able to go in today if you just go and say a few words? Did you not hear what the military officers said earlier? Some people just don't have self-awareness at all!"Celena did not feel confident at all as she listened to the crowd. However, a voice inside her was telling her that Liam could do it.Thinking of that, Celena grabbed Liam's arm tightly and whispered, "Liam, do you have a way? Why don't we just forget it!"Liam smiled at Celena and said calmly, "Alright. Don't worry. We'll know after we give it a try."Upon saying that, Liam ignored Yafe and Sherah and brushed past them as he walked to the soldiers who were standing guard.While everyone watched in confusion, Liam and the soldiers had some brief exchanges. Then, he followed the soldiers to the guard post at the side and chatted with the soldiers inside the guard post.At that moment, Yafe, Sherah, and the others
Liam drove slowly toward the gate of the garrison as everyone watched.All the people who were present were still thinking that Liam must have lied and he would be stopped by the soldiers at the gate.However, not only did the soldiers at the gate not stop him, but they straightened their backs respectfully and saluted Liam as his car drove past them.Sherah and Yafe, who were in the car, were shocked. The crowd who were waiting for the drama to unfold were stunned as well.The few representatives of the wealthy families who ridiculed Liam the most were dumbfounded after seeing that."Did I see that right? Those soldiers saluted Liam, the loser who married into the Stone family?""Holy shit! What the hell is going on? That loser can go in?""If that loser can enter, then does it mean we can go in too?""Yes, yes! We can enter as well!"As soon as they said that, the crowd at the entrance walked to the gate of the garrison with excitement.However, they were stopped by the sol
The leader of the soldiers walked over to the crowd and barked, "This is the garrison! It isn't a place where you wealthy families could come and cause a scene!"Also! Do you know why we let them in? Because that so-called loser who married into his wife's family and is living off his wife's income that you guys talked about is our newly appointed commander-in-chief!"I'm warning you! If you continue causing trouble here, we'll charge you with trespassing the garrison and execute you by shooting!"Besides, remember this! Our new commander-in-chief's identity still has to remain a secret. If any of you were to leak this out, we will punish you by shooting as well!"Those words dropped like a bombshell to the crowd, especially those who mocked Liam the most. Those people were dumbfounded after they heard that Liam was the newly appointed commander-in-chief. Colors drained from their faces. They looked at each other and said in aghast, "W-We're done for! He's the new commander-in-ch
At that point, Yafe was stunned. He looked at Liam suspiciously and asked, "Could Liam be the newly appointed commander-in-chief?"Sherah and Celena were equally stunned. They looked at Liam in bafflement as well.They thought about how they were stopped by the entrance, but they were let in after Liam talked to them.This was way too strange!Celena looked at Liam curiously and said, "Liam, what did you say to those people just now? Why did they suddenly let us in?"While they were discussing a moment ago, Liam already thought of an explanation. When he heard Celena's questions, he calmly said, "Have you forgotten? It was on the news previously. The newly appointed commander-in-chief was transferred here from the Pendragon War Zone. I was previously serving at the Pendragon War Zone!"Celena, Yafe, and Sherah immediately came to a realization. Yes! How could they forget about that?Liam served in the Pendragon War Zone. The new commander-in-chief came from the Pendragon War Zon
