"Yes, only three."

"He didn't miscount, did he?" George was still hopeful that what Bryan said was wrong.

Bryan replied, "If he had miscounted, he would have been hanged by King Keannu."

Uh, that's right. A royal bodyguard could not have been chosen so easily. A series of tests must have been passed, it was unlikely that the bodyguard would make a mistake in arithmetic.

George was forced to ask again, "So, where is the other one?"

"My colleague in charge of guarding the place said that Andrew Reece received orders from General Mackenzie to give it to a man named ... wait a minute, I'll ask again. I forgot his name," Bryan replied.

Christopher's aura had darkened like a crow clawing at its prey.

George, on the other hand, was so agitated that he gripped his mobile phone tighter. He was very anxious, not wanting what was happening to go against his wishes.

In the part of the hall where the guests were standing, Cassandra was holding her breath not yet relieved, but Emma was already smili

    "Do I need to tell you about this, Gardner?" Keannu asked.Obviously, this was very bad. Keannu Wellington was known to have a high level of decorum and would never offend anyone with his mouth. Jody Gardner realized that the king didn't like him enough to call him by his last name without his title.Not wanting to make things even more unpleasant, Jody hurriedly said, "No, Your Majesty. You don't need to ... tell me. This is your business with General Mackenzie."The corners of Keannu's lips lifted slightly, seemingly pleased with his quick-to-respond general."Good, if you understand," Keannu said."So, is there anything else you would like to ask?" Keannu continued."Nothing, Your Majesty," Jody replied and he quickly retreated from the king's private palace.He was holding back his anger and did not speak a word as he walked.The general hurriedly went outside with Steven faithfully walking right behind him. When they reached the middle of the road, Jody Garder suddenly stopped w

    "Uh, that ... never mind, I'm just in a daze," Steven replied hastily. He had just realized that he was talking too much. After all, he was General Gardner's direct subordinate, he shouldn't be discussing the matter with others. He could be accused of spreading the general's secrets. Gosh, what had he just done? He had been a subordinate of the war general for two years and had never made a single mistake.So, why did he make a mistake now? Really, Steven wanted to sew his own mouth shut so that he wouldn't spill the beans about his general anymore. Even if it was just a little bit. "Uh, but you said General Gardner just did something. What was it? Did he make-" "No, no. I misspoke. Alright, I'll go first. I have some work to do," Steven excused himself quickly. Wallace looked suspicious, but he chose not to think about it and went back to patrolling. As for Steven, after taking care of the general's sudden leave, he rushed to the dining hall. There, many soldiers were al

    "No, it's not. It's already yours," Bill said.Peter smiled happily, "Then I'll just stay in my room.""Peter!" Shirley glared in annoyance, but her husband didn't even glance at her. Instead, he went upstairs and into his room.Shirley's anger mounting, she pushed Bill's body with full force. But Bill was a strong man with a sturdy body so the push didn't move him an inch. The failing Shirley became even more furious."This is all because of you! I hate you!" the beautiful woman said before running upstairs to catch up with her husband.Christopher sighed wearily, "If their marriage is ruined by your little gift, don't expect me to let you breathe easy, Bill.""Actually, it's not a small gift, Gramps."Of course it was. That gold disc was a symbol of his victory. He didn't just give it to anyone. At first, Andrew Reece looked so shocked when Bill intended to give it to him.However, he ignored him. This was also done by Bill after he found out that Peter Green was a big fan through h

    Bill didn't answer and just sat quietly."Are you mute? Can't answer?" Bill just leered and still didn't want to answer.The subordinate groaned in exasperation. "How arrogant! Take this!" He then intended to hit Bill on the head. However, Bill swiftly dodged and hit him with both of his bound hands. The man jumped in surprise at Bill's attack and was about to retaliate but again he was kicked by Bill.The man was only with a driver so it was easy for Bill to deal with them. However, Bill thought it wouldn't be fun if he just ran away. He wanted to know the extent of Jody Gardner's actions and the reasons behind the inappropriate behaviour of the man who replaced him."Do you want to die?" the driver asked without turning his head.Bill, whose mouth was still shut, used his bound hands to choke the driver from behind. "Damn. How dare you!"The friend couldn't help the driver as his chest had just received a good kick from Bill. "Let go of me!" the driver ordered.Not wanting to get

    Jake laughed as soon as he heard Charlie's words. "Why are you laughing? What's so funny?" Charlie replied, annoyed at being laughed at.Jake raised his hands, as if apologizing. "Sorry, I can't stand it."Charlie snorted loudly. "Why can't you stand it?""Come on, Charlie. Did you forget or something?"Charlie just rolled his eyes lazily."General Mackenzie resigned on his own. I mean, no one dismissed him. So, if he just resigned voluntarily, how could he come back and take the position of War General?" Jake said.The man shook his head slowly, looking at Charlie with a sneering gaze.Charlie, on the other hand, didn't want his argument to be broken. He replied immediately, "Well, that's exactly it, because General Mackenzie resigned on his own so couldn't he just come back and ask for his position first?""What are you saying? Do you think the post of War General can be easily transferred or requested?" Jake retorted not to be outdone."It's true. General Gardner was appointed as

    "No problem. They'll just take me back to that warehouse and hang me," Bill said. Andrew gaped, "You're hanging, General?" Bill laughed strangely, finding what the new war general was doing ridiculous. "Yes, I was." Andrew Reece was naturally confused, not knowing where the ridiculousness of William Mackenzie's laughter lay. He could only wait for an explanation from his general. "Jody Gardner is completely inexperienced when it comes to kidnapping, Reece." "What do you mean?" Andrew asked incredulously. "He threatened me, wanted to find out about my relationship with William Mackenzie but his methods were hm ... totally unprofessional." "You were threatened?" Andrew said in shock. Bill replied, "Hm. He hanged me, wanted to cut out my tongue and all that." "What? He dared to do that to you? How insolent of him! He's-" "Reece, Reece. Remember, he doesn't know who I am," Bill cut in quickly. Andrew Reece retorted, "But, still, this is outrageous. After all, you as

    Without waiting for Jody to reply, Bill bowed again, "I'll take my leave, General Gardner." The man standing right in front of Bill instantly clenched his fists, held back his annoyance and then finally left the palace hall with anger still lumped in his chest. Strange. In all his life, he had never been this upset before. But, what that War Advisor did actually made him easily upset. Jody walked quickly towards the training building. Steven who followed right behind was already starting to worry if the general would go on another rampage there. He hoped that there weren't many guards there so that they wouldn't become the target of Jody Gardner's anger. But, fortunately, Jody's anger faded a little when he saw Dorothy Winks, one of the palace staff who was Jody's lover, inside the training building, checking the equipment of their tools that had become her duty. Steven was really relieved and immediately considered Dorothy as a saviour goddess who had saved everyone from Jody

    "You're the one," Jody argued. "We'll talk later. I have to report to King Keannu," Dorothy retorted. Without wanting to argue anymore, Jody let her lover go and he could only vent his frustration through physical exercise in the building. Meanwhile, in the Silver Building, Bill stood looking through his old belongings accompanied by his ever faithful Andrew Reece. "You don't have to keep me company like this, Reece," Bill said. "It's my duty to serve you, General." "No, it isn't. I'm only a War Advisor now, Reece. You don't have to serve me," Bill said. However, Andrew Reece remained adamant. "No, General. I swore to serve you to the death, so I will." Bill sighed wearily and let Andrew follow him. "General, it's unacceptable to me that you have to bow before that jerk Jody Gardner." "Shh, watch your language!" Bill admonished. Andrew said, "But he is a jerk, General. He kidnapped you, held you captive and-" "I know. You're right about that, but you have to remember, he's

    "What's going on exactly?" Reiner looked even more confused.Normally, if they won a battle, they would be greeted with great fanfare.Not only a number of palace soldiers would welcome them, but also palace officials and members of the royal family would welcome them.However, at that time there were only a few soldiers and soldiers escorting the prince in the field where their plane was about to land.That naturally led to various questions that finally popped into the heads of the soldiers who had just returned from a life-and-death battle."Didn't they hear the news of our victory?" one of the class one soldiers said in a disappointed tone.A class two soldier responded, "No way. They must have heard. This is the big victory they've been waiting for. They can't possibly not know.""That's right. The palace must have announced this happiest of news," another class one soldier chimed in.Meanwhile, Ben who was still nea

    "Oh my, Xylan! Why do you doubt him?" Rowena replied in a low tone, as if afraid of waking up her little son who was asleep in her arms from her perhaps too loud voice.Xylan shook his head, "I didn't mean to doubt him at all. It's just that I know his main purpose for returning to this palace, Rowena. He's ....""Stop thinking like that! He will be very disappointed if he finds out that you doubt his loyalty," Rowena said sharply.Apparently the tone of her voice was a bit louder this time so the son, Kharel Mackenzie was disturbed from his sleep until the little boy stirred his body.Rowena again tried to make the little prince fall asleep again by holding him lovingly and tenderly.Xylan was silent, as if he knew his sister still hadn't finished talking.It turned out that Xylan was right. After his favorite nephew fell asleep quietly again, Rowena said again, "Xylan, why do you think Riley is so close to James Gardner? And why has he felt so guilty over the years?"Xylan looked at

    In all the time Ben had known James, it was the first time he had seen James look so frustrated.Usually James always seemed flat, cold and often even emotionless. However, the very stiff James had changed.The anxiety and restlessness were clearly displayed. It certainly made Ben quite confused in response.But, he then heard Reiner say, "Calm down, James! It's not that you can't bring Riley home forever. However, you just can't bring her home right now."Reiner patted the slightly trembling James' back. Oh, Reiner was so surprised. Apparently James really thought deeply about the feelings of their best friend's son. "Remember, James. We'll go back there to look for her again, so you don't have to feel guilty," Reiner added.Instead of calming down, James became even more agitated. The young man turned to Reiner and replied, "How can I not feel guilty, Rei? I ... promised him I would bring his father home. But ... I failed to keep my promise." Ben swallowed, looking so sad to see

  • The Strongest God of War   27. What Should I Do?

    As if coming to his senses, James nodded slowly, "You're right, Rei. We ... should go back to the palace and strategize again to find Riley."Reiner could finally breathe with relief."Come on, we should leave this place first," Reiner said.James looked around the area one last time. After he felt that all his efforts were enough for the time being, he quickly boarded the airship that would take him back to the Ans De Lou Kingdom.During the trip, James was mostly silent.While Reiner and Ben who were also on the same plane with James repeatedly still invited James to talk. However, the young man still chose to be silent.In fact, Reiner wanted to entertain him by distracting James from the problem of Riley who had not yet been found. Unfortunately, he still failed to do so. James still didn't seem to want to join the conversation between the two.Some more James also heard the chatter of the soldiers, but sometimes he fe

    The soldier was suddenly afraid. Moreover, the look in James Gardner's eyes suddenly turned sharp as if he was stabbing him. Oh, he really only meant to express what he was thinking. He didn't mean to offend the war general. He certainly didn't dare go against James Gardner. His nerves dropped even further when he heard James speak again, "Come on, tell me, do you mean to tell me that Riley doesn't want to see me?" The soldier named Joseph Zow immediately shook his head vigorously. "No, General Gardner. That's not what I meant. I just-" "Then, what, how can you think Riley doesn't want to come out of his hiding place?" James' tone now sounded more frustrated. Not wanting the situation to get out of hand, Reiner immediately approached his best friend and said, "James, stop it!" James still did not move and stared at the soldier as if waiting for an answer. However, Joseph did not open his mouth. The young man glanced at the Ground War Commander as if asking for help. Luckily

    Reiner winked at his friend's words. The man shook his head firmly, "Military matters in the palace? Are you crazy? What kind of trouble?""There is no power struggle in the palace, James. Prince Xylan and Princess Rowena have a very good relationship," Reiner explained with his eyebrows raised in astonishment.Before James could answer Reiner's explanation, Ben had already hurriedly joined in, "Reiner is right. The two of them have never had any problems. It's impossible for them to fight.""Of course. In fact, Princess Rowena has always supported Prince Xylan. It's impossible to fight over a throne. Besides, Princess Rowena must still be very sad that Riley hasn't been found yet. How could she possibly think of-""ENOUGH!" James suddenly cut off Reiner's lengthy speech.Reiner was about to continue, but apparently James was a bit annoyed so he ignored Reiner's intention and continued to say, "Oh my! Come on, was I talking about a possible war between Prince Xylan and Princess Rowena

    "That’s impossible," Ben said in a firm tone.Reiner also responded, "They couldn't have killed Riley."Ben added, "If they killed Riley, I'm sure they'd have announced it. Or ... at least they would have done something like confuse us with Riley's whereabouts."Seeing James looking frustrated, Reiner said again, "He must be alive. It's just that we haven't found him yet.""That’s right. He was probably transferred to their secret place," Ben said.James' face relaxed more than before when he heard the two friends' soothing words. He was a little more relieved.James then nodded his head, "Then we should find out more.""Yes, we will. Don't worry!" Reiner said.Ben said with a confident tone, "We will definitely find Riley, James."James chose to believe and returned to search more thoroughly. Unfortunately, although the soldiers of Ans De Lou Kingdom had interrogated the prisoners of Mecco Kingdom, they still could not find a single clue regarding Riley's whereabouts.In addition, K

    Reiner frowned, "That's impossible. Is he lying?"James shook his head firmly, "No way.""How can you believe her so easily?" Reiner asked while still inspecting the area.James sighed softly, "I have never met an Ans De Lou soldier who dared to lie to me."Reiner instantly turned his head and looked at his friend without blinking.Two seconds later he nodded in agreement, "Oh, you're right. How could anyone dare to deal with you?"James waved his hand.He looked up and widened his eyes once he got something. He quickly asked Reiner to come closer to him."What's up there?" Reiner asked as James looked up.However, James did not answer Reiner's question and instead stood on tiptoe and picked up a small object attached to the wall."What is it?" Reiner asked with a curious expression.James examined the object and immediately cursed, "BASTARD!"Reiner was wide-eyed in shock. James' swearing really sounded full of emotion and his tone of voice was almost like someone who was shouting.

    James sighed softly, it was clear that the soldier knew nothing about the latest situation outside."Yes, I'm back. I wasn't captured by them," James explained as he helped the soldier to lean against the wall.James glanced at his friend who looked very weak, but didn't dare to touch him as his wounds looked much worse.James examined the soldier's wound whose shirt had been torn off briefly and knew immediately that the soldier must have been severely tortured.He gritted his teeth, trying to contain his anger."Then ... did we win, Deputy War General?" the class two soldier asked with a hopeful look in his eyes.James nodded, "Yes, we won.""R-really, Vice General of War? We won? I'm not dreaming, am I?" the soldier asked with tears on the verge of falling.James looked at the soldier with a sad gaze.The torture he received must have frustrated the soldier for his emotions to become so unstable."You're
