"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

    People were eager to approach Riley, to help him. However, when they saw James Gardner moving toward Riley, they stayed where they were.James quickly caught Riley's staggering body as if he couldn't bear the weight of his own body.James sighed softly, “What are you doing?”“Preventing you from leaving,” Riley replied weakly.James exhaled roughly and picked up Riley who was still so weak.“You don't have to waste your time and energy,” James said.“Why? You don't have to go, James. You-”“It's my decision,” James cut in quickly.Riley shook his head, staring at the young man who was only one year older than him. “You're not guilty. I'm an asshole for wanting to keep you as my best friend.”“It's nice of you to admit that,” James replied with a faint smile.“If anyone should leave here, it's me, not you,” Riley said.James frowned, “Don't be crazy! You're the general of war in this kingdom. You can't-”“I lied to everyone from the start, not just to you,” Riley cut James off.Riley's

    Rowena nodded weakly, while the four soldiers who were also inside the infirmary immediately looked at each other. Riley himself took some time to process the information.However, Reiner immediately asked, "Your Highness, then ... where is the deputy general of war right now?"Rowena turned her head quickly, "I don't know. I ... only heard the news from the palace maid, just now. Perhaps ... he has already returned to the dormitory or-"Thank you, Your Royal Highness," Reiner cut off Rowena's speech quickly due to being too panicked.After that Reiner immediately paid his respects to the king's daughter and quickly left the area together with Diego.Ben also said, "Riley, I'll be there first. Later I ... will be here again."Alen nodded, "Don't worry! We'll let you know when we know what's going on."Riley could only stare at his friends' departure with a look full of confusion.Rowena was the only one left in the room and was accompanied by several staff, soldiers and servants.Row

    At first Riley was eager to force James to answer him, but he stopped doing so when he finally understood that James might need some time alone.He sighed softly, “I'll talk to him later.”Meanwhile, outside Riley's room, all the people who were good friends of the two young people who were having complicated problems were staring at James with questioning eyes.While Alen and Ben were silent because they didn't dare to ask, Diego casually asked, “Did you ... talk to Riley?”James nodded.“Then ... how?” Reiner asked in an anxious tone.James did not answer Reiner's question and only said, “I'm going back to the dorm first.”Shin, who heard that, bit his lip and replied, “I'll accompany you.”James did not refuse and let Shin come with him, while Diego and Reiner remained there.After James and Shin were no longer there, Alen decided to go inside with Ben.Not long after, Diego and Reiner also entered Riley's hospital room area.“He already knew about it,” Ben said when he first looke

    James laughed disappointedly when he saw Riley's silence.Riley suddenly stared at him wordlessly.“Why, did you ... did you never even have the intention of telling me about it?” James said in a sharp tone.Riley opened his mouth but not a single word came out of it.James was getting annoyed at him, “Uh, I see. I see now.”James nodded and stepped back, making Riley surprised.“James, it's not like what you're thinking,” Riley finally managed to reply to James.James shook his head.“Do you really know what I'm thinking, Riley?” James said in a sarcastic tone.The young man could no longer hide his immense disappointment, “You don't know, Riley. But ... I can tell what you're thinking.”“James, I ... know I've wronged you. But, please understand, my position is very difficult. I don't want you to ... hate me, James. I don't have-”“It must have been a lot of fun for you, huh?” James cut off Riley's words quickly.Riley who was originally leaning back immediately leaned her body, fac

    Shin and Reiner glanced at each other, as if they were both confused about whether or not to leave the area as James had requested.However, the reason they hesitated was certainly not because they were both worried that James would hurt Riley. Instead, both of them were more worried about James.Unfortunately, James, who did not get an answer from his two friends, turned his head with a furrowed brow, “Why? Don't you two trust me?”“You guys ... think I would do anything ... to hurt Riley? Is it like that?” James added with a sad look on his face.Shin quickly turned to James, “Of course not. I am sure you wouldn't do anything that bad.”“Don't get me wrong, James! We're ... just very worried about you,” Reiner said quietly.James was startled and when he looked at his two friends in turn, he instantly knew that they were not lying at all.The young man closed his eyes and instantly realized his mistake, “I'm sorry, senior.

    Ben suddenly bowed his head.James immediately closed his eyes, completely unable to believe the painful reality that had slapped him.Meanwhile, Shin looked at his friend with a look of disappointment.He touched Ben's shoulder and asked, “You knew about this big secret and you ... did nothing? What have you done?”Ben was silent.Shin took a deep breath and watched the expressions of all the soldiers who were his best friends. The man sighed softly, “Aren't we ... all friends? How could you ... and you hide this important thing?”Ben raised his head, “Then, what do you expect me to do?”“What did you say?” Shin retorted fiercely.“You think it's easy? Hiding a secret of this magnitude? You think ... what happens if I tell you and the others? Especially James. He ... would definitely fight with Riley. They'll-”“Damn it!” James cursed because he couldn't stand it anymore.The young man said, “Don't act like you know about me and can guess what I might do or happen. You think you can

    Meanwhile, William also began to be confused to calm his wife who was crying more and more.However, Cassandra's crying finally stopped when she saw the operating room door open.Everyone also immediately stared at the door, waiting anxiously.As several people from the medical team came out, William and Cassandra walked over.“Doctor, how is my son?” William asked.The elderly doctor looked up at the middle-aged man who was staring at him anxiously.“General Mackenzie,” the doctor greeted after he noticed William's face.William nodded, “Yes, Doctor Sigmund. It's me.”Sigmund was surprised, “Riley Wood, I mean General Wood is ... your son, General?”“Yes, Doctor,” William replied.James just stared blankly ahead, as if he was ready to hear that statement. Meanwhile, Reiner and the other soldiers could only squeal in shock as an important fact had j

    It didn't take long for James Gardner to understand everything. In fact, afterward he saw Alen Smith greeting the woman and middle-aged man who were obviously a married couple. “Alen, Alen. You're … a medical staff, aren't you?” Cassandra asked the young man she had already met.“Riley will be fine. Isn't he?” Cassandra said frantically.Alen nodded, “You don't need to worry, Mrs. Mackenzie. We will do our best to save Riley.”James was still silent where he stood. Alen's words had explained everything. Alen, one of his best friends, also knew everything that happened. James closed his eyes for a few seconds and chose to hold himself still.The young man took hold of the edge of Riley's bed and helped him to push again. He then said softly, “Alen, hurry up a bit!”Alen was immediately surprised and looked guiltily at James as if he already knew what James was feeling. However, he did not have time to say anything and quickly went about his duties while asking people not to come
