James Gardner turned his head towards the person who had just spoken. Riley and Alen glanced at each other as if they knew something bad might happen.

James smiled at the senior and said, "Senior, what makes you conclude that I need attention?"

Joseph Cole shrugged and grinned, "Isn't it obvious, Gardner? You're saying we're annoying for not mentioning your services?"

"Not so. You misunderstood," James said, still sounding casual and it was beyond Riley's prediction.

Alen even raised his right eyebrow in disbelief that James could still use words and a gentle tone.

"Misunderstood? Do you think I can't digest what you're talking about with these two friends of yours, Gardner?" Joseph replied, this time while squinting.

James walked over to Joseph who was surprised by the step James had taken. But, Joseph still looked warily at his junior.

"Senior, what I mean is that I just find it strange that you and your friends are acting like I'm not in the war," James explained.

    Kharel froze where he stood.Meanwhile, Richard quickly ran towards the scene of the car accident. Elliot grabbed Kharel's hand and urged the young man to chase after Richard.Knox rubbed the back of his head, confused, but in the end he followed the three people who were now his allies.Elliot was quite shocked to see the license plate number of the car that had crashed."Car number eleven. This is ... Gale's car, Kharel," Elliot said weakly. Several staff members had arrived, but Richard, who had arrived first, quickly opened the door of the overturned car. The accident looked so severe because several windows were broken and shattered. However, no one knew the condition of the three passengers inside."Kharel, help me!" Richard shouted. When Kharel did not respond to his words because he was too shocked, Richard shouted again, "Kharel, wake up!""Kharel!" This time Richard yelled at the young man. However, Richard's loud voice managed to snap Kharel out of his daze.Together w

  • The Strongest God of War   88. Where's Gale?

    If only Knox Mest wasn't afraid of Riley Mackenzie, he would have snorted loudly in response to Elliot Gardner's words.The two men talked as if he wasn't there. But the person they were talking about was him."Elliot, my son, this is the best way. If we don't use this method, I'm not sure we'll be able to get you all out of this area," Riley said.Elliot could only accept the plan devised by his father’s close friend. However, Knox, who was still in shock, asked, "Deputy General Mackenzie, I ... am not an important person in our group, and I'm not sure they will listen to me.""I know that. Well, we can't force your friends to believe everything we say, but what I can assure you is that we will do our best to save all of you," Riley said.Nevertheless, Knox remained doubtful. Some of his friends were still so eager to participate in the competition and become winners. They still didn't fully understand what they were facing, and most of them seemed indifferent to everything that ha

  • The Strongest God of War   87. A Well Thought out Plan

    Knox Mest, who heard Elliot Gardner's question, felt that it was unnecessary to ask it.After all, who didn't know about the war strategies that James Gardner had been implementing all this time? As far as he could remember, the Kingdom of Mecco, where he came from, had also been defeated by James Gardner in a war. So, who else could have devised such a meticulous strategy that the competition organizers didn't even realize that two intruders had entered the competition area? And this was confirmed by Riley Mackenzie, who smiled when he heard the question from his best friend's son. He then said, "Of course, son. In fact ... he was the one who made the plan to protect you so that you could reach the official competition area."Elliot was stunned. Ah, he knew his father was great. But he just didn't expect that his father had thought it through so thoroughly until now."It was your father who placed three commanders on each of your trips. And ... thanks to his crazy idea, the tw

  • The Strongest God of War   86. Do You Agree?

    James Garder suddenly sighed in annoyance when he heard Kharel Mackenzie's question.But he still answered, "He's now ... in Elliot's car.""Huh?" Kharel raised his eyebrows when he heard James' answer, looking surprised.James laughed irritably and then began to grumble in an unclear voice, "We made a mistake. Oh, I mean he ... your father made a mistake. He was supposed to drive this car, but ... he got the wrong number."He shook his head and continued, "Maybe he's lost his good eyesight so he can't read properly. Ah, that old man!"The middle-aged man looked like a child who had lost his toy. In fact, Richard looked confused by James' behavior in front of him.This made Kharel smile at Richard as if asking for his understanding.For the first time, Richard smiled understandingly. "Er, Uncle. So ... what's the plan?" Kharel asked, hoping James would forget his annoyance with his father. As if forgetting his irritation, James suddenly changed his expression to a serious one and be

  • The Strongest God of War   85. You're Too Careless!

    Kharel was about to speak, but the driver cleared his throat softly, as if he hadn't finished talking yet. Kharel chose to remain silent for the time being, furrowing his brow."But ... unfortunately, you're too careless, young man!" the driver continued, followed by a soft laugh.However, it wasn't a mocking laugh. He was just laughing casually, as if what Richard had done was funny.But Richard still didn't like being laughed at like that, so he pressed the gun harder against the driver's forehead. "Don't talk too much! Or I'll really make you stop breathing!"However, the driver's reaction was beyond Richard's expectations. He casually replied, "Young man, a bullet is very precious in this place. You wouldn't use it just to kill someone you don't need to kill, like me, would you?""You talk too much!" Richard said in a slightly harsh tone.Kharel, who couldn't take it anymore, sighed irritably, "Uncle, stop playing around!"The driver laughed casually, "Your Highness, you recognize

  • The Strongest God of War   84. That's Their Goal!

    Kharel was about to answer Elliot's question, but his best friend spoke first, "Kharel, have you forgotten my father is James Gardner and ... my grandfather is Jody Gardner?"Kharel's right eyebrow rose slightly. Elliot smiled crookedly, "I inherited two different traits from them. So, you ... don't need to worry. No one can fool Jody Gardner's grandson."Actually, Kharel wasn't surprised that Elliot was proud of his origins. He knew that Elliot's father was indeed a great war general. No one would dare doubt the abilities of the man who was his father's best friend.However, this was the first time he had mentioned Jody Gardner, a soldier who had been labeled a traitor because of his many actions that had harmed the Kingdom of Ans De Lou in the past."My grandfather did make many big mistakes, but ... I don't think anyone can deny that he was also quite clever ... cunning, right?"Elliot’s ears turned red, but he continued with a slightly embarrassed expression, “Ah, I mean … I inhe
