"Stop giving your son that look, Bill!" Cassandra admonished to her husband, William, who was indeed showing a bitter expression.

William let out a long sigh, "Then, what do you want me to do? Smile broadly when I have to let go of my son who wants to risk his life for the Ans De Lou Kingdom?"

"You know I can't do that, Cassie. You know I ...."

William Mackenzie, the former god of war, the strongest general ever in the Ans De Lou Kingdom could not continue his words because his only son, Riley was already walking back to them after saying goodbye to his friends.

He certainly did not want his son to see him arguing with his wife.

"Hey, after all you gave your son permission to enroll, you can't take it back, Bill," Cassandra said as she widened her eyes, giving her husband a warning.

William could only let out a long sigh.

"Are you done, dear?" Cassandra asked her son as she stroked her 21-year-old son's arm.

"I am, Mom. Otherwise, how could I come back here?" Riley replied with a smile

    Riley Mackenzie turned his head and was surprised when James Gardner was staring at him too. "What's wrong?" Riley chose to ask James.James clucked his tongue, "You seem pretty tall. What sport are you doing?""All." Riley answered in short.Alen Smith raised his right eyebrow, "What are you doing? Why did you ask about that?""What's wrong with my question?" James retorted, not to be outdone.Diego suddenly said, "You seem to have a problem, my friend.""What do you mean?" James asked with a displeased look on his face."Politeness," Diego replied shortly.Riley, who had witnessed the three starting to argue, sighed softly. He intended to intervene but instead he heard James reply to Diego, "Civility? What's that? I don't get it at all."Diego gritted his teeth, but Alen quickly said, "Of course you don't understand. If you did, you wouldn't be Jody Gardner's descendant."Riley jumped in surprise when he heard his friend take up the topic. Sure enough, as he expected, James jumped

  • The Strongest God of War   3. A Good Idea

    "Tell me, do you really know William Mackenzie's son?" James Gardner asked with an expectant look.Alen Smith wanted to respond, but James was only paying attention to the answer issued by Riley so the man was ignored.James said again, "If so, can you tell me which compartment he's in?"Riley wasn't afraid to face James, but he just wanted to keep his secret like what his father wanted. It was impossible to hide his true identity forever, but at least not when he first left the city. He hadn't even set foot in the castle yet. How could he reveal his identity? Obviously, he couldn't. So, the young man replied, "How would I know where he is? I immediately got on this carriage and searched for my compartment. I haven't looked around."Hearing that answer, James snorted in disappointment. But, the youngster didn't seem to give up easily so he said. "I have a good idea."Alen frowned, "What idea do you mean?""And about what?" Diego asked.Riley did not ask but was still observing the y

    Riley suddenly said, "You did it, right?" James turned to Riley and then replied, "Did what?" It was clear that James pretended to not know about that. "Told them about General Mackenzie's son being here?" Riley said, still trying to hold back his emotions. James shrugged, "I just told them about the possibility. Well, who knows if they believed it?" Alen Smith snorted, "You did it on purpose because you wanted to find General Mackenzie's son, right?" Diego said, "You think you can lure the son of the great general to show up?" Once again, James Gardner visibly grinned and replied, "Of course. That guy will definitely show up on his own. And ... I'll beat him in every match, no matter what." "Just keep dreaming, as long as you can," Alen said. Riley said, "It's like you're out of work." The smug smile vanished from James' face. "Whatever you say, but you three watch. I'll beat him." Alen and Diego did not respond but Riley said, "Well, good luck then. We'll be your supporte

    Several other people also shouted the same thing."Traitor general's son!" "Get out of here! You don't belong here.""Leave!""Get him out of here!"Mary Kesley, who was the one in charge of the event, immediately raised her hand. "Please calm down!"Unfortunately, Marry's words were completely ignored by the people. They continued to shout excitedly asking James Gardner to leave.The shouts also filled the entire area in front of the gate. It could be said that only a few people were not shouting, including Riley Mackenzie.The young man seemed to not want to make a scene and just stayed there while waiting for them to stop on their own.However, as if deliberately deafening his ears, James Gardner confidently walked towards the front. He then nodded at Mary Kesley who was still trying to calm down the chaos, which was unfortunately still failing.After picking up his backpack, James turned around and walked back to where he had been.But, unfortunately, that was not all that happene

    Riley was quite impressed with the way James looked at the issue of fighting for the soldier's position. The young man even smiled a friendly smile, "You're right. We will compete fiercely." James quickly responded, "I won't be easy for you to beat." "Yes, that's what you have to do. If you're easy for me to beat, then how can you possibly face the person you're looking for?" Riley said. James snorted in annoyance but in his heart he was determined to use all his strength to be superior to all his rivals. "Are we going to stay here until everyone is called?" Allen Smith asked. "I think so," Diego Greco answered as he already looked bored. Riley joined in, "It won't be long. The bags in front are almost gone." "That's right. What do you think the number of potential soldiers will be this year?" Diego asked the three people around him. Alen immediately tried to remember, but Riley was quicker, "Last year there were around 3200 people registering and they only accepted 1000 peopl

    Riley replied quickly, "What are you saying? He probably doesn't even know you exist." James raised an eyebrow and looked sarcastically at Riley, "How could he not know?" Riley smiled in annoyance, "He probably doesn't have time to care about other people's lives." James clicked his tongue, he did not believe in what Riley said.Alen Smith said, "Good grief! Never mind that General Mackenzie's son doesn't have time to find out about you, we don't have either." "That's right. We didn't even think that General Gardner had a son," Diego said honestly. James Gardner looked at the three people who were in the same dorm as him, but he didn't find a lie in their eyes. The 22 year old young man sighed tiredly. "My mother never married my father." He then said.Riley was very, very surprised to hear this too honest confession. Really, he never thought that James would immediately open up like that. Alen and Diego looked at each other, too shocked and confused about how to respond to Jame

    Alen immediately stepped forward full of emotion but Riley quickly stopped the young man by saying, "Hold on!" Alen tried to get away from Riley but Riley still held his arm. "Why should I be the one to hold back, while he just goes around saying things that make people annoyed?" Alen said, looking disapproving. Riley said slowly, "Because he just made you angry. Do you understand that?" Alen was silent so that the young man Riley was calmer and then he let go. Diego was almost losing patience with James but had not done anything yet. James was already standing and crossing his arms, as if challenging Alen to a fight. Riley immediately stood in front of Alen and said in a sharp tone, "Is this all you can do?" James looked at Riley with a confused expression. "You're doing this, pissing off other people and challenging them to fight with you so you don't make too many enemies in the palace soldier recruitment selection?" Riley said. James smiled irritably, "What are you talkin

    Someone even dared to raise his hand. "General." Andrew Reece immediately raised his hand and asked the other prospective soldiers to be quiet and listen to what the young man who was standing had to say. "Yes, please!" Andrew invited the questioner. "General, is that some kind of special program?" The warrior candidate asked excitedly. "Yes. The soldier I train directly under my supervision will automatically participate in the selection of the next war general," Andrew explained. Andrew's explanation certainly made them even more excited. So many people wanted to ask questions but Keannu asked them to be quiet and calm first before letting Andrew continue his explanation. After they calmed down again, Andrew said, "So, there are three candidates who will be the next war generals, replacing me who will immediately step down from this position one year from now." The prospective soldiers looked even more shocked but none of them dared to speak because their king had instructed t

    Ben quickly racked his brain, thinking of the right way to put James at ease. But before he could come up with a good line, he heard James say again, "Or ... is he angry that I took his current position? But, ...."James shook his head weakly, "There's no way he's angry because of that right? Moreover ... he knows very well that I never wanted her position. He must be-""Stop thinking like that, James! Are you stupid?" Ben said in an annoyed tone.James was about to respond, but Ben raised his right hand as if asking James to be quiet for a few moments.James seemed to understand the meaning of Ben's gesture and he let out a long sigh.Ben swallowed before explaining, "James, you know Riley doesn't care about the title 'War General' either. Basically, both of you are not crazy about positions."James faltered. Ben was right. How could Riley be disappointed and angry with me over this damn title? That doesn't sound like 'Riley Mackenzie', James thought.The young man exhaled harshly.

    Without looking away, Ben thought hard. James didn't just stand by, waiting for Ben's answer. He himself repeatedly touched the handkerchief to scrutinize it. Not only that, the war general of Ans De Lou Kingdom was also sniffing the gray handkerchief as if he was looking for something.Seeing what James was doing, Ben impatiently commented, "You're not a dog. How can you track someone's whereabouts from sniffing that thing?"James instantly gave Ben an exasperated look, "That's not it. I'm just trying to smell this handkerchief. Who knows ... it might turn out to be a clue.""Then ... did you get a clue after sniffing the cloth?" Ben asked with a casual look.With a look of disappointment, James replied, "No. I didn't. I just smelled the earth."Had they not been in a serious situation, Ben's laughter would have exploded. However, they were working on an important mission so Ben knew he had to restrain himself. He certainly didn't want to be seen as trivializing his friend's rescu

    Foei Maccray turned around and looked sarcastically at the junior.When he saw Lory Blackwell's compliance, Foei Maccray smiled wryly as if satisfied that he had succeeded in making one of his juniors submit to his orders.Of course, that made him feel big-headed. Hence, Foei haughtily said again, "Keep standing here until we are out of your sight. After that ... then you can walk."Lory Blackwell did not reply. But Foei took his silence as obedience so he said, "Good! You should obey your seniors' orders."Lory just swallowed without daring to say a word. However, Foei did not need an answer so he just continued walking along with his good friend, Derrick Weybe who looked bored in Lory's neighborhood. The other soldiers followed the two senior soldiers with mixed feelings. Apparently there were some of them who were starting to feel sympathetic towards Lory. But due to their status and class being much lower than the two senior soldiers who were bullying Lory, they chose to be cowa

    Derrick snorted in annoyance, while Foei immediately responded, "Oh, you seem to be very timid!" Foei cast his gaze at Derrick and then flashed a smile with a mocking expression. Derrick shook his head, also smiling mockingly."If you're scared, why would you want to participate in this important mission?" Foei said.Lory quickly shook her head, "I'm not afraid ... I’m just-""Huh? Not afraid? Then, why did you just say that?" Derrick cut Lory off, as if he deliberately didn't want to hear Lory speak."You're obviously a coward! Oh my! You should have stayed in the palace and not joined the search for General Mackenzie," Foei explained with a lopsided smile. "Coward!" Derrick taunted again. "A pathetic soldier like you who dares to tell us we're slow? Who do you think you are, my superior?" Foei said with a cold tone and a dismissive expression.Oh, he was really very satisfied seeing Lory's helpless expression.The two men deliberately wanted to humiliate Lory. Their intentions w

    Seeing James' confident smile, Ben instantly realized that his best friend was unpredictable. But, when he recalled the relationship between James and Riley in the past, he felt that everything James said was true. Riley had always been completely open to James. The young man only hid one thing, which was the fact that he was William Mackenzie's son. Other than that, Riley had no other secrets from James. Meanwhile, Riley was also the only person who could understand James very well. Only Riley is able to understand every action taken by James and James only wants to talk about things with Riley.So, seeing all these facts, Ben finally nodded, "Okay, then. What should I do?"James snorted and immediately put on a sullen face, "Come on, Ben! I told you earlier."Ben rolled his eyes, "I still don't understand. Please explain in more detail!"With an annoyed expression James replied, "If I had the authority to downgrade soldiers, I would definitely downgrade you to class two."Ben's n

    Although they seemed confused by the war general's order, they still unanimously replied, "Yes, General."It wasn't long before all the soldiers formed a line where they would prepare to search for Riley Mackenzie as ordered by James Gardner.Most of the first class soldiers did not hesitate to do the task, but there were some of the class two soldiers who seemed to be unsure of what they were going to do.Two of them were Foei Mccray and Derrick Weybe."I don't understand why General Gardner is searching the forest. How could General Mackenzie be here? This doesn't make sense," Derrick said, who had just lined up facing the front of the forest.The twenty-six year old young man was in the front row with his best friend so they could still talk in a fairly low tone of voice.Foei nodded in agreement, seemingly thinking the same as Derrick, "He's probably too frustrated to pick a spot."Derrick exhaled harshly then glanced towards the front where several class one soldiers seemed to be

    Gary Davis shook his head with a super confused expression. He couldn't guess what might have happened. He himself did not know James Gardner very well. He entered the palace when James Gardner had just resigned from the post of deputy general of war. So basically he had only met James a few times. It was different with Riley Mackenzie. He had met Riley countless times. In fact, it could be said that he already knew how Riley behaved. However, he could not think of anything about James Gardner. He was just like a blind man when it came to James. "Even young General Mackenzie is not suspicious of you. He's been in the palace longer than that general. I don't understand," Elena said, who also hadn't found the answer to the question that was bothering her.She also still didn't understand. However, a thought occurred to Gary. "Maybe I was in too much of a hurry, Gran," Gary said suddenly.Elena frowned, "What do you mean, Gary? What kind of hurry?"Gary sighed softly, "Approaching

    Elena Goldwin bit her lip, feeling she had done something wrong. The old woman said, "I'm sorry, Prince ... oh, I mean ... Gary."Seeing Elena's soulful face, Gary became uncomfortable. He looked at the old woman who had taken care of him since he was a child. That woman had done so much for her family. Not only did she devote herself as a household assistant, she also became a substitute mother figure for his brother. Indeed, her age was more appropriate to be called a "grandmother", but her role was more suitable as a mother to herself and Rowen.Oh my! What have I done? She sacrificed so much, but what have I done? The old woman who has helped me with all her time and energy, I almost made her cry, Gary thought in exasperation.The young man touched Elena's hand, startling the woman. She then heard Gary say, "You don't have to apologize, Gran. And I ... I'm the one who should be apologizing to you. Please, forgive me for getting angry just because you called me that."Elena ga

    Gary Davis sighed softly. Guilt immediately rushed into his heart.He immediately positioned his seat towards his little brother and looked at him with a guilt-filled gaze.The boy's gaze was so innocent that it made Gary's feelings even more chaotic.Rowen, his little brother, was still very young, but he had to bear problems that he shouldn't have thought about at such a young age. In a very gentle tone Gary said, "Rowen, I'm sorry. I ... know you must feel very lonely. But ... believe me I'm doing all this for us. I-""You risked your life, Brother. I ...
