'Liam, when are you coming back? When are you coming to save us?' Celena thought.She was in despair as she kept begging profusely. She was bawling so badly that she could not even utter a sentence.Right at that, Patrick walked in as well. Seeing Celena begging on the floor and smelling the pungent odor in the air made him frown. He walked up to Brianna and asked, "Brianna, is this woman still refusing to reveal Liam's whereabouts?"Brianna sneered. "Don't even mention it. She's tight-lipped."Patrick's expression darkened upon hearing that. He long wanted to teach Liam a lesson, but he listened to Trevyn and waited until the night of his induction dinner. However, Liam sneaked off when they were just a couple of days from the dinner.With his anger all pent up, Patrick was incredibly annoyed. Seeing that Celena refused to tell them where Liam was, Patrick walked up to her and kicked her on her shoulder."Bitch! You really can't tell what's good for you. Hmph! You cover up for L
"I-I don't know. He didn't tell me where he was going. Mr. Hughes, Ms. Hughes, please—""Enough!"Annoyed, Brianna shouted at Celena to cut her off. As she looked at Celena on the ground, an icy grin appeared on her face, and she barked, "Celena, you're the one who refused to take the easy way out, so don't come at me for not giving you a chance. Guys, lock them in the cage and get them out of here!"At her command, two soldiers walked forward in big strides and threw Celena and Jovie into the giant dog cage, locking them inside.Celena felt hopeless at that moment.She looked at the locked cage, grabbed the bars with all her might, and begged Brianna and Patrick, "Please save my daughter! Please save her! She's dying soon! I beg you, please! I'm not lying. Please take her to a doctor!"Celena wailed in despair and kept banging her head against the steel cage.However, Patrick and Brianna were completely unfazed. They just let the four soldiers pick up the cage and walk out of t
There was a tall monument standing in the square at the military headquarters of the capital. Everything looked formidable and solemn there. There was a guard post at every ten meters, and armed soldiers in full tactical gear were patrolling the vicinity.The national emblem of Biskeland was hanging above the giant red door to the building of the headquarters. The gold emblem was dazzling under the sunlight, making it even more awe-inspiring.Two rows of soldiers armed with bayonets were standing on each side of the door. All of them were full of vigor as they carried out their duty to guard the place.An hour before Celena was carried off in a dog cage, four soldiers worked together and pulled open the huge golden dragon door at the military headquarters. Then, a group of men and women of different ages dressed in military uniform walked out of the solemn meeting room in the building.The man walking in the forefront was dressed in a robe, and he was Liam.Liam was wearing the un
The soldiers guarding the door and along the way were all stunned to see the car speeding off. Nobody had any idea what was going on.They saw the license plate, and it seemed like it was the designated car for the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors. Why would King Pendragon be in such a hurry? Did something serious happen?The soldiers on duty immediately reported the situation to their superiors, who also thought something serious happened. Everyone just kept reporting to their superior until the reports finally reached the federal office.The Four Elders were sitting at the meeting table in the head office at that moment, trying to come up with a conclusion for the meeting.The meeting was interrupted when Timothy suddenly received a call from his assistant. His expression darkened, and he asked in a frosty tone, "What's the matter?"The assistant could hear that he was not happy, so he replied in a shaky voice, "Sir, I received reports from my subordinate earlier tha
Geoffrey's expression got darker and darker with every single line his subordinate uttered. In a frosty tone, he asked, "What else?"The subordinate from the intelligence department looked at the rest of the intel he gathered and continued, "Also, Trevyn's sister, Ms. Hughes, barged into Drunham City Hospital with her men two days ago and abducted the immediate family of a lady. They are members of the Stone family, Yafe, Sherah, Qemal, Celena, and Jovie.""Hold on! What did you say? Trevyn's sister barged into the hospital and took Celena and Jovie away?"Geoffrey was so shocked that he shot up from his chair once he heard Celena's and Jovie's names. A frown appeared on his face as his eyes were filled with anger. He had an intense frosty air to him as well.Timothy and the other two elders looked sullen too after they heard Geoffrey's words. All of them stood up and stared at Geoffrey anxiously.The intelligence officer thought he made a mistake and infuriated Geoffrey, so he st
"Cisco! How the hell do you manage your subordinates? Your subordinate, the senior captain named Trevyn, is truly arrogant. Do you know he's in hot waters? He's just a senior captain, yet he dared to ignore the law. "He stopped the local police chief in the street and abducted him! He also detained the deputy chief-of-staff of the local garrison. Not to mention, he dared to capture the wife and daughter of King Pendragon! Do you have any idea what he's done?" Timothy bellowed.He could not believe that Trevyn dared to be so arrogant when he was just a senior captain. He did not take the law seriously at all and stopped a police chief's car in broad daylight. Not only did he take the police away, but he even locked him up. On top of that, he detained a deputy chief-of-staff on his whim. He was practically staging a rebellion!Cisco was stunned after he received the call. He panicked and was extremely nervous after he heard what Timothy said. With a trembling voice, he said, "Is that
Just as Liam was longing to get home, Malcolm's car cruised into Drunham City. Malcolm was beside himself with boiling rage as his car cruised smoothly along the streets of Drunham City. This was because he had just received a call from Cisco Quigg, the assistant commander-in-chief of Northern Biskeland. Cisco had vehemently explained to him what had happened, including the trouble that Trevyn had stirred up over the past two days in Drunham City. Malcolm was so stunned to hear all this that he did not know how to react, but soon, his expression of shock was replaced by a scowl. He could not believe Trevyn's audacity! How dare he commit such heinous crimes in his absence?He had provoked the chief commissioner himself by intercepting Howard's car in public and even went so far as to capture Howard himself! Not only that, but when his deputy chief-of-staff, Adrian, stopped by to talk some sense into him, Trevyn did not even hesitate to arrest Adrian as well!What angered Malcolm the
He swiveled around on his boot-clad heels, then sauntered out of the house and stood for a moment at the door, glancing proudly out at his audience as he allowed the spotlight to settle on him. Everyone's eyes were on him, and a split second later, the audience erupted into thunderous applause!The party had begun!Trevyn was clutching his symbolic army knife in one hand while raising the other above his head as a gesture of appreciation to everyone's applause. He smiled in a triumphant smirk. As the applause settled down, Trevyn stepped forward while a hostess approached him, holding a tray with a glass of champagne. Trevyn took the glass, raised it above him and declared, "Thank you all for finding the time to attend my party tonight—a celebration of my promotion to army general!"Everyone raised their glasses. "Here, here, General Hughes!"Trevyn beamed. "I welcome you all to my humble abode. Although I may or may not know all of you who have granted me the time to celebrate t
