Steven was about to retaliate against Greg's insolent words, but Greg didn't let that happen because his men had already left before he could reply. "That little bastard!" Steven cursed in exasperation. He certainly didn't want to follow even though several of his men were now looking at him with questioning eyes. He tried to blind his eyes as if he didn't see the expressions that showed disappointment towards him. Indeed, he still cherished his life so he did not want to die silly just for pretending to be a hero in the battlefield. Of course he didn't need any praise or accolades from anyone. All he needed right now was to survive the war and return to the kingdom with nothing less. Unfortunately, he couldn't just stay there because over time some of the soldiers even began to speak to him. "Sir, do you really not want to help General Mackenzie?" the first soldier said. "That's right, sir. General Mackenzie must really need you there. He's obviously short of men." The third
Realizing that Bill was waiting for his answer and that they were now in the middle of a battlefield, Steven wasted no time and quickly said, "I'm ready, General." Bill smiled with relief and then began to command, "Come here!" Steven didn't ask any questions and just followed the orders of the strongest war general. Bill then began to explain some of the things Steven needed to do and led him into battle with him. Bill so deftly worked together with Steven that the man could also feel Bill's extraordinary prowess. Not only were William Mackenzie's attacks extremely accurate but also how the man protected those around him. Bill's mastery of weapons and speed was one of his greatest strengths. In addition, every decision made was always right and never failed to the point that Steven gaped every time Bill managed to make their enemy troops retreat in fear. "Why didn't you kill them, General?" "Because we are officially at war with this kingdom and they have no intention of kill
The leader of the opposing army immediately felt a little strange. He thought the person in front of him would be easily attacked mentally but in fact Jody Gardner still looked so calm and his attacks were still quite accurate. The fact that it was so clearly displayed strengthened his suspicion that the people of the Ans De Lou kingdom could not be underestimated. The war leader of the opposing army took a few steps back until one of his men asked him, "Chief, what exactly is going on?" "Why is he not bothered at all? Isn't it according to the source of the information we just obtained that the person leading this war has a very bad temper?" "That's right, sir. However, what we're seeing right now is decidedly different. He seems so calm despite our provocations," another continued. The leader whose name was Geraldi Jones also did not understand the answer to the question that was bothering him so much. "Never mind, the most important thing now is to make him admit defeat or at
Steven no longer argued and immediately brought their troops back to the Ans De Lou Kingdom. On the way, he did not speak a word and remained silent. Meanwhile, some of his troops could be seen talking at the back when they saw the face of the greatest war general was extremely unsightly. They only dared to whisper because they did not want to offend the God of Death. "Is General Mackenzie mad at us?" someone asked his companion. "No way. Why would he be angry with us? There's no reason for him to be angry with us." "You're right. We even obey him all the time and although some of us disobey at first, we eventually obey him again." Another person also responded, "We've been doing whatever he tells us to do." "I don't think he's angry at us but ...." The words of one of the troops who was relatively young were suddenly not continued because Steven glanced at him so he had to be silent first. Of course, he didn't want to aggravate the problem and make things complicated just be
Greg who was listening to Knox's explanation really wanted to laugh at the man. He wanted to make Knox's eyes widen even more after actually knowing the greatness of the war general. Unfortunately, they were currently still in the airplane so Greg had to try hard to restrain himself. However, someone not far from Knox's seat said, "That's why you should never doubt someone who you don't even know what he looks like. Because it could be that one day you might really admire him." Knox was stunned. "Everything I did was very natural, especially since he had also temporarily stopped being a soldier. Who would have thought that his strength would remain as it was and arguably even increase more than before?" Knox looked around and saw the reactions of the other troops but it seemed like they weren't really taking him seriously so he couldn't help but swallow his words back. Truly, he never thought that his hesitation would lead him to fall into such an embarrassing hole. However, at
Keannu Wellington could no longer contain his annoyance at the war general who used to be one of his father's favorite soldiers. But he was so relieved that the man met him in the middle of the night that he didn't have to endure the embarrassment in front of the palace officials. If I had met him in the daytime then he would definitely not have been able to raise his face in front of the palace officials again. It was not just once or twice that William Mackenzie had humiliated him. It was also what made her want to destroy him. Although he also understood that if he were to lose the great general then he would lose greatly. If there was no one as strong as William Mackenzie to protect his country, it was not impossible that his beloved kingdom would be completely attacked by the enemy kingdoms he had conquered. "Your Majesty, your orders are awaited," Bill said, snapping the king out of his brief reverie. Keannu waved his hand and immediately called his personal secretary, "In
Steven did not reply but instead laughed even more and this made Greg even more annoyed with the deputy general. However, since he could not force Steven to explain further, he could only wait with resignation. "You fool! Who intends to punish you?" Steven said after his laughter died down. He never thought his men would act so stupidly. Greg wasn't angry at all when he was cursed at like that, in fact he was even more curious about Steven's previous words. However, now Steven actually couldn't blame his men either because the actions taken by William Mackenzie were always unexpected. In fact, he was also overwhelmed by shock and confusion that almost left him speechless. "Sir, but you were-" "Gosh, I think the selection of palace soldiers should be more stringent. Not only through physical tests but also brain tests," an unusually lazy Steven said. Maybe after this he would try to propose that the army's admissions to hold more tests. Greg swallowed nervously, "Sir." "Liste
William Mackenzie hurriedly replied, "Cassie, this is nothing. You don't need to think about this." "What do you mean you don't have to? Do you think I can't help you?" Cassandra retorted. Bill closed his eyes and now began to feel that he might soon have a fight with his wife. "You know it's not. Cassie, I just don't want to add to your burden. That's it, I'm good to go and as soon as it's over I'll be on my way home," Bill said. Cassandra who was on the other end was silent for a while. The beautiful woman was not offended at all and instead felt sorry for her husband who had to think of everything himself. It wasn't that she didn't want to really help her husband but she felt that Bill was really thinking about her so she chose not to make an issue of it. "Well, if that's what you want." Cassandra then talked about a few things before she finally decided on the call. Bill felt quite comforted after hearing his wife's soothing voice. At least even though he was currently wo
James Gardner remained silent, giving no clear answer to Reiner's question.An immediate anxiety struck the ground war commander. Not wanting to be ignored by James, Reiner asked again, "James, tell me. Are you going to stay in the palace? You're not going to leave, right?"He looked anxiously at James who was staring out the car window. However, after he waited patiently enough he finally heard James answer, "I don't know."Reiner's heart was like being hit by a rock instantly."So ... are you leaving?" the man asked in a tone that sounded disappointed."It depends."Reiner, who was still staring at James, raised an eyebrow, looking confused, "Depends on what?"James sighed softly, "It depends on King Xylan's answer."Reiner was getting more and more confused. However, he did not have time to ask further as the car they were in had already entered the main gate of the Ans De Lou Royal palace. Even so, Reiner still did not want to give up so easily so he continued to stick to James e
At first Michelle Veren didn't understand what James Gardner was asking. However, when she saw the look on the general's face, she immediately knew he meant the time of the departure of the three people they were looking for.So, the Veren boutique owner replied, "About an hour ago, General Gardner."Hearing that answer, Reiner immediately went limp. But, it was inversely proportional to James who was even full of enthusiasm. This could be seen from James who even said, "Come on, Rei. Let's go after him."Reiner looked sadly at his best friend and replied, "It won't catch up, James. It's been too long."James did not even listen to Reiner's words and ordered some of his men, "Prepare the car, let's go after them!""James," Reiner called softly.James ignored the call and kept saying to his men who were still quietly waiting, "Find out through the CCTV which area they are currently in. They ... should be visible if they take the highway from behind this building."Reiner bit his own
Unfortunately it was all too late for the young girl to realize. All the words of the girl named Alice Porter were clearly heard by Reiner Anderson and James Gardner.With a dark look on his face, James said, "Miss, you-""No, no. I just misspoke, I ... I don't know anything. You heard me wrong," Alice said, whose face paled even more. Especially when she saw the aura of James Gardner, the terrifying war general, she found it even harder to breathe.Reiner also could not help himself so he said in an exasperated tone, "Tell me everything you know or you ... will know how terrible it is when you face the two of us.""I don't care if you are a woman. I can still find a punishment that you deserve," Reiner continued coldly.Alice swallowed harshly. Of course the young girl was very confused. Moreover, no one was trying to help her at all. All the employees in the boutique looked so frightened that no one dared to open their mouths."Say it now! We don't have much time, Miss!" James gro
James' question immediately made Reiner silent for a few moments. He stared at the boutique with a confused look on his face.Meanwhile, James didn't want to waste any more time so he wordlessly walked towards the boutique owned by Michelle Veren, a forty-year-old female designer who was quite famous in the country.Reiner didn't just stand by and do nothing, lamenting his inaccuracy. He followed James with a small trot right behind James without a word.As soon as James was faster than him to reach the door, he immediately saw the two boutique guards who opened the door for them."Can I help you?" one of the boutique guards asked James."I'm looking for Princess Rowena. Where is she now?" James asked back matter-of-factly as he darted his eyes all over the first floor of the boutique.Although there was a suspicion rising in James' mind, the young man put his anxiety ahead of his suspicion."You're looking for Princess Rowena? Who are you? You-""James Gardner. Royal War General Ans
Reiner Anderson did not answer James' question. Instead, he had a facial expression that looked both hesitant and confused.Of course, that made James Gardner even more annoyed. "Come on, tell me quickly! What's so strange about Princess Rowena?" James urged, impatiently.Reiner swallowed and scratched his ears before answering, "Well, I'm not sure if this is strange to you. But ... I think it's very strange, James."James gritted his teeth in growing annoyance and impatience.Luckily, he didn't need to ask anymore as Reiner added, "So, according to reports she went outside the palace."Hearing Reiner's answer, James snorted rudely. "What's so strange about that? I know she often goes outside the palace."Reiner sighed softly, "Indeed. But, this time ... a few hours ago, she left without a bodyguard. And she ... left with their son, Prince Kharel."Instantly James glared in shock, "What? Are you ... sure?""Yes, James. She just-""How is that possible? King Xylan ... didn't forbid he
Gary Davis did not answer Xylan's question. He just wore a pitiable expression. It instantly brought out the guilt in Xylan Wellington.Oh, no. What have I done? Did ... did I go too far in becoming suspicious of my own personal assistant? Xylan thought to himself as he stared at Gary's innocent face.The viceroy sighed softly. He went back to thinking hard. He tried to remember everything about Gary. He had never made a mistake, not once. He also never did anything suspicious all this time. Gosh, am I suspecting the wrong person? Xylan thought.However, he shook his head quickly as he realized something.But, wait a minute. It was James Gardner who suspected him. He couldn't have spoken carelessly. Otherwise, there was no way he could have been selected as the deputy war general. His instincts must be very strong that he has suspicions of Gary Davis, Xylan thought seriously.He then looked at Gary once more and finally nodded his head.He does look very innocent, but he could be h
Ben didn't know how he should respond to his friend's words, but all he could do was go over to James and pat him gently on the back repeatedly in an attempt to calm him down."He's really not coming back, Ben.""No, he's not. It's just-""He wouldn't give that kind of message if he didn't mean what he said," James cut Ben off.Ben sighed softly, "James, what I meant was ... he probably doesn't want to be looked for anymore because he wants to go back to the palace himself."Ben's words made James, who had been so frantic, straighten his back. The war general then turned to Ben and responded, "What do you mean?"Ben wasn't sure what he was thinking but he said it anyway, "I think ... he just wants to go home alone."James paused, trying to digest his friend's words."Tell you what ... how about we just go back to the palace, who knows if Riley might actually be home," Ben explained.Ricky and Steven Drilon were silent as they listened to Ben's words.They also didn't have time to reac
Ricky Drilon could only stare at the question.Oh, he often found himself in a confusing situation. But, he had never once felt depressed.Though he was also very often faced with a difficult choice. However, again, such things could be resolved well without any inner turmoil.However, one question asked by Riley Mackenzie put him in his most difficult phase. "Why are you doing nothing? Who are you going to obey? Me or General Gardner?" Riley repeated his question.Ricky swallowed harshly, getting more and more confused.His forehead was furrowed, clearly showing a great deal of indecision. He repeatedly smoothed his hair in just one minute. That made Riley smile strangely, "So, what? Who are you going to choose to obey?" Ricky bit his own teeth.How is this? What am I supposed to do? And why am I in this situation? Ricky thought.He looked indecisive, full of doubts. Riley himself looked very calm and relaxed at Ricky's confusion."Why aren't you answering me?" Riley asked with a
Ricky didn't answer James' question immediately, instead he looked back at Steven, his brother. From the look in his eyes, it was clear that the young man was seeking Ricky's approval. Apparently, James Gardner noticed this habit and with an exasperated look on his face, he commented, "Come on, do you have to have a discussion before answering a simple question like the one I asked you earlier?" "Don't you have your own opinion?" James continued in a cold tone. Ricky and Steven's faces turned a perfect shade of red. Ben grimaced at James' assertiveness but he didn't make an interruption. Not wanting to make James even angrier, Ricky finally replied, "If it's an ordinary person, we can probably still go after him. However, if it's General Mackenzie, I ...." The young man did not dare to continue his words. From the look on his face he looked hesitant until James continued his words by saying, "You're not sure we can catch up with Riley?" Ricky stammered, "Absolutely, General Gar
