James Gardner laughed crisply, pleased to see the panic among the now defenseless enemy troops.

The remaining soldier immediately took offense, “Are you laughing at us?”

James in between laughs replied, “Of course I am. Who else can make me laugh?”

James glanced at the name on the right side of the man's combat uniform. Edwin Grace.

“Damn you. You're laughing when your life is in my hands, do you think he's going to save you? Don't ever dream it!” Edwin said.

James grinned, “You idiot, do you realize that or not? That guy already managed to get your friends down. If I were you, I would have saved myself.”

“I'm not a coward,” Edwin retorted as he wandered around, scanning every corner of the forest.

He didn't want his attacker to catch him off guard and end up attacking him too.

James wanted to open his mouth again to reply, but Edwin shouted again, “If you don't come out, your friend will die.”

James bit his teeth and snapped, “Just kill me! Hurry up! You say you're not a coward, bu

    James took no offense and instead chuckled, “I'm just tired.”"Tired? Are you stupid or something?” Riley retorted, getting annoyed.“I'm tired of the insults,” James said in a soft tone.Riley did not reply it.James winced as his broken leg hit a rock as they walked over the rocks.Riley suddenly turned his head and glanced at James' leg which was not bleeding but seemed to be dangling. Without even examining the leg, Riley had already guessed that James' right leg was broken.James was not a weak person who would complain if he was sick. The man would act strong and not suffer anything. However, seeing James not hiding his pain from himself, Riley quickly assumed that the injury was indeed severe.“How bad is it?” Riley asked in the end.James grinned, “No need to worry about that. I can still walk although not normally."Riley sighed in exasperation, she shouldn't have

    "Hey, don't be quiet! You made me bored,” James said with an annoyed snort.Riley kept his eyes locked with James who was still raising his eyebrows, waiting for an explanation.Was it because of guilt? But, why?Riley didn't know how to answer that either. He himself could not understand his actions. The young man with the injured leg had indeed grown up from a baby without his father present. Even though it was all related to his father, it was still not his father's fault.If that was the case, shouldn't he not have any guilt towards the young man?Then, why was he doing this? Come to think of it, this was the first time he had done something so dangerous in his life. The thing he did this time was not like breaking the palace rules that would only end in a punishment, but certainly not to the point of sacrificing his life.But, this time he was actually risking his life in the enemy kingdom's territory in order to save the young man who annoyed him so much.However, when he lo

    “Ryan, stop it!” Ben screamed, the group leader who quickly ran towards Ryan who had grabbed Riley by the neck.He did not want his friend to do unnecessary thing towards his junior. "Don't do that!"Actually, it wasn't that Riley couldn't fight the senior soldier, but he seemed to know that it would be better if he kept quiet. After all, he had indeed broken the rules and had certainly angered the senior soldiers.Ryan still wouldn't release his grip on Riley so Ben was forced to take action by pulling Ben away from Riley."You're defending him, Ben? Seriously. Because of him, Commander Sehel is angry with us,” Ryan shouted with an angry snarl.Ben also knew that but he tried to be more patient."That's enough, Ryan! Control yourself!” Ben said sharply.Riley was still silent, not daring to say anything. James, meanwhile, remained where he was. He heard the small commotion and chose not to take any action so that things wouldn't get worse.Ryan hissed, “What the hell are you doing? H

    Riley could only smile in resignation. However, at least he was not punished alone. There was James who would accompany him through the punishment that he didn't know what form it would take.At the same time, more precisely in front of the main gate of Ans De Lou Kingdom, William Mackenzie had just arrived accompanied by Vincent Crack, one of his bodyguards who had also accompanied him to the palace when he wanted to meet the son.Unlike in the past when he entered unofficially and became a sneak. This time the most powerful war general used the official process, entering through the main gate. In accordance with royal regulations, William immediately walked to the staff section that would record who would enter the palace.On the side of the gate, there was a room where visitors or guests of the palace were required to report. “Good afternoon, I would like to see King Keannu,” William said as he searched something into his coat, intending to take something.The staff, who was a yo

    The male staffer was silent for a moment, but then he snapped his fingers as if he'd just realized something.“His son is here,” the male staffer said.The female staff clucked her tongue, “Oh, my God. I can't believe it. That's just a rumor. Everyone knows that it's just a rumor that James Gardner started."The male staffer shook his head in disagreement, but his friend chimed in again, “If it were true, it would have been exposed already. There are only about 300 prospective soldiers right now, there's no way the palace can't find someone who is considered General Mackenzie's son, right?""Then, can you find a reasonable reason, Julia? Why would a war general who decided to retire and withdraw from the palace and then even disappeared from the palace or can be said to have hidden his life, now appear in the palace?” the male staff named Bernard asked. Julia, the female staff sighed in annoyance, “How would I know? Perhaps General Mackenzie has some important business at the palace.

    William Mackenzie turned to the king and nodded, “Yes, Your Majesty. I see he has a strong friendship with James Gardner.""Oh, not even that. My son even shares a dormitory, a room with him,” William added.Keannu was pensive for a few seconds and then raised his head, looking back at the general, “Your son ... he's ....”Before Keannu could finish his sentence, he saw three of his family members enter his garden area unannounced.The man immediately said, “You three. What are you doing here?"Monica along with her son and daughter just tried to smile awkwardly. William Mackenzie immediately greeted the queen of the country, “Good evening, Your Majesty.”He also greeted the princess with a warm smile, “Princess Rowena, we finally meet again.”Rowena smiled back awkwardly, but she responded by saying, “Welcome to the palace again, General Mackenzie.”William turned to a teenage boy who still looked very young and said, “Good evening, Crown Prince.”Xylan stammered, “Welcome, General.

    The young girl's face suddenly changed. What had been a bright blush now looked pale. William Mackenzie easily understood what was going on with the king's daughter who was rumored to have had an affair with his son.So, remembering the relationship between the two young people, William said, "Your Majesty, you are frightening the princess. How about I explain the matter?""I happen to know quite a lot about it," William added. Keannu turned his gaze to William, "What do you mean you know about it, Bill?""You know about this, General? How is that possible?" Monica asked with a surprised look on her face.William Mackenzie told him everything he knew including the princess' confession about hiding her son's identity. Several times Monica was seen sighing in surprise, while Keannu gritted his teeth to overcome his annoyance at being lied to by his own daughter for so long.The king turned back to his beautiful daughter and said, "Rowena, you also know ... how I was always arguing wit

    William Mackenzie's expression clearly showed great disappointment. However, Keannu didn't run away from the problem and still answered honestly, "Because I think and people think your son might be able to replace you."William was dumbfounded.Seeing that expression, Keannu quickly added, "Don't think anything bad just yet!"The uncomfortable Keannu asked William to sit down before he continued, "I mean this, Bill. Andrew will be retiring soon. Actually ... his health is already failing and I ... haven't found a single suitable replacement.""Then ... there was a rumor that your son was in this warrior selection so ... we instantly had high hopes. If you can be that good, your son is of course likely to have the same extraordinary abilities as you," Keannu explained.William looked frustrated. In fact, he was seen drinking water before Keannu gave him permission to drink.Keannu sighed, knowing full well that all the ways they had tried to find the general's son could not be consider

    Hearing the new war general's question, Xylan Wellington laughed awkwardly.It was a laugh that didn't really come off, in fact, it sounded so strange that it made anyone who heard the viceroy's laughter confused.Reiner also looked at Xylan with a strange gaze while James did not even blink. The look in his eyes showed a demand.A demand for an explanation from Xylan regarding what he had just said.When he saw that urgent questioning look, Xylan finally stopped laughing. He cleared his throat softly before saying, "Hm ... I know from the main soldier.""The main soldier?" James repeated as he frowned.Xylan gulped and smiled clumsily, "The king's court soldiers, General Gardner."Oh, that wasn't really what James meant. He knew without even asking that the main soldiers were the palace soldiers specifically assigned to escort and guard him.There were usually five of them and one of them was required to stay by his side

    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
