Hearing his opponent's threat, Riley simply responded, “Do you think I'm stupid?”

He raised his weapon and aimed at the enemy. He even calmly aimed the weapon right at the heart of the soldier standing at a distance from him.

The Fermoza Kingdom soldier named Hugo Wilson who was not wearing a protective helmet raised an eyebrow, looking shocked.

“You-”

“Shoot if you can,” Riley said fearlessly.

His grip on his weapon was even stronger.

Ben smiled, praising when he saw Riley's calmness. He was not surprised at all by Riley's decision. He himself had no problem dying there.

What he thought was that when Riley complied with their enemy's wishes and dropped the weapon, they had surrendered themselves to the enemy.

“Are you challenging me, young man? Don't you know I'm the one-”

“Yes, I know of course. You ... who killed my commander and-”

“And you still dare to face me?” a lopsided smile full of arrogance was etched on Hugo's lips.

Riley let out a long breath, “I remind you of one thin

  • The Strongest God of War   184. About You

    Ben suddenly laughed so hard that James, Riley and Shin thought his friend was crazy.In fact, the soldiers of the Fermoza Kingdom also looked shocked by the reaction shown by their opponent.“If the Fermoza War General hadn't cheated, there's no way he would have been killed by our War Commander. You guys are so weird!” Ben said, sounding annoyed.Apparently, Ben's words had succeeded in making the remaining enemy troops fall silent.Reiner added, “Anyone knows that a duel between two people has clear rules. If they decide not to use weapons, everyone must obey them. But, the fact is that Fabian Fermoza broke it.”“That’s right, so it wasn't wrong for our War Commander to kill him. It was an act of self-preservation,” another class one soldier continued.The enemy troops still seemed unable to accept it. One of them spoke up, “But, your commander killed a War General just to save a lowly soldier. How can their status be equalized? They are of different levels. They-”“Shut your mouth!

    James' question instantly made Alen realize something. He immediately understood that he had almost spoken about something he shouldn't have. Now, all his fellow soldiers were looking at him with curious eyes. Oh, Alen wanted to sew up his own mouth that had put himself in such an unpleasant situation.“Hey, what's the matter? Tell me! Why are you keeping quiet?” James urged.Reiner also said, “Hm, but ... if it's a secret, you ... shouldn't tell us.”Alen suddenly turned to Reiner, the soldier who was Greg Sehel's potential replacement. In his opinion, Reiner was really quite wise. He was also sure that Reiner would become a great commander with charisma one day.But, unfortunately, another fellow soldier said, “Hey, you made a statement earlier. You ... made us very curious, Smith.”Alen sighed and tried to rack his brain for a safe answer. However, before he could do so, Riley said, “Did they ... I mean General Reece and Commander Sehel discuss my rescue attempt?”Alen gaped for

    William Mackenzie was silent for a long time. However, Keannu Wellington waited patiently, as if to give William time to think.And in the end, Keannu heard William say, “Yes, Your Majesty. I will attend Greg Sehel's funeral.”Keannu sighed, relieved and happy that William would do what he wanted.Actually, the king with two children did not want to encourage William Mackenzie to harm Riley. Obviously this was very much different. He thought William's public appearance wouldn't bring any harm to Riley as long as no one knew Riley's true identity.So, Keannu added, “Don't worry! Riley's identity will remain safe and will not be known by anyone except those who already know. You know ... only members of the royal family and Andrew Reece know his real identity.”William nodded, not doubting at all about the truth of what Keannu said.Besides talking to William, the king also spoke to his three family members.“Actually, I still wonder why he had to hide his son's identity. If it's to pr

    “I also never thought that she would be that determined. Oh my! What is she thinking?” Monica who stood up said without blinking an eye.The Queen was very surprised seeing her daughter’s way to show her affection.Her eyes were still looking straight at her daughter who was still reluctant to let go of her embrace on Riley. Meanwhile, Xylan, the young prince could only shake his head, “My sister seems to have become infatuated with General Mackenzie's son, Mother.”Not long after, the fifteen-year-old youth added, “Perhaps you should arrange their marriage soon, Dad before ... it's too late.”Keannu turned his head towards his son, “Too late, how do you mean, Xylan?”“Hm, Father. You ... must know that ... Rowena is sometimes beyond prediction. She ....” Xylan shrugged, unable to tell his father what he was thinking.However, Keannu had understood the meaning of his son's words and the king who still looked handsome at more than half a century old sighed softly.“You're right, Xylan.

    Riley immediately approached and hugged his father tightly.William returned the hug no less tightly while patting Riley's shoulder. Shortly after, Rowena, who had witnessed the scene, said, “General Mackenzie, I'm going out. You can talk to Riley alone.”William threw a smile of gratitude at Rowena which was returned with a small nod by the young girl.“I'll wait for you outside, Riley,” Rowena said quietly before the girl stepped out of the Xylan residence.Once Rowena had left, Riley said, “How can you still be here, Dad?”“I thought you went straight home after the war was over,” Riley continued.William let out a long sigh, “I'd be an ignorant person if I left right away, Riley. I'll still be here, attending Greg Sehel's funeral.”“But, Dad ....”William immediately calmed his son down and said, “You, take it easy! I've arranged everything. James won't know about you ... my son.”Riley frowned, “What do you mean?”“All the royal members have agreed not to reveal your status. You

    William Mackenzie immediately held his son's shoulders. He then lowered his voice, “Attend the funeral and talk to the family, Riley.”Riley was taken aback. Attending Greg Sehel's funeral was an obligation, but for the second thing his father said, Riley was not sure.“Why are you silent?”Riley moistened her lower lip, “Dad, what can I talk to his family about?”William smiled, “You'll find out when you meet them.”“But, Dad ....”“You'll find your own way. Trust me, Riley, you can do it.” William nodded confidently to his son.Riley, who still did not know what to say, could only nod back.“Riley, you have to go back,” William said then.Huh? That fast? Riley was a bit surprised. He had only been talking to his father for a few minutes but was already asked to leave.“Why, Dad?” Riley asked in astonishment.“Princess Rowena brought you here. People will gossip about you two if the princess is not seen in public for a long time,” William explained.Riley swallowed and a pink tinge

    Oh, it turned out that his father's words were true. Everything a member of the royal court did quickly spread, as if there were no secrets in the palace when it came to them.Sure enough, the news quickly reached the ears of every resident of the palace. Because, the incident where Rowena took him away was indeed witnessed by all the soldiers. So, it was easy for the spies who were witnesses to look for the whereabouts of him and the king's daughter. Realizing all that, Riley let out a long sigh.“We went to Prince Xylan's palace because his residence is closest to the field. Besides, Princess Rowena ... knows what I'm going through so she ... tried to comfort me,” Riley explained a little too long so that no one would ask any more questions.But, unfortunately, someone felt that explanation was not enough and so he still asked, “Oh, then what did Princess Rowena do to comfort you?”“Huh, you want to die? How dare you ask such a personal question?” Alen said as he glared at one of th

    “There's no mistaking it, it really is General Mackenzie.”Someone enthusiastically spoke, “Look at his clothes! Those are the clothes on display at the silver building, right?”One of the prospective soldiers lined up parallel to Riley responded, “That's right. I notice that. That really is General Mackenzie's armor.”“I can't be wrong, it really is General Mackenzie.”“Oh my! This is amazing, I can see the legend in person. The best general this kingdom has ever had.”But then someone whispered in a slightly hushed tone, “But, wait a minute! What is the greatest war general doing here?”“Hasn't he decided to never appear in public? Then, why is he here now?”“Is he coming back?”Someone else clucked their tongue, “Don't just talk! Isn't he too old to come back? Perhaps ... he has some interest here.”Alen Smith, who was standing right behind James and Riley, was even more interested in seeing James' reaction than in hearing the ramblings of the other soldiers' friends.The young man

    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

  • The Strongest God of War   86. Veren Boutique

    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

    Benedict Arkitson instantly froze like a statue as if he dared not move his body at all. The thirty-four-year-old senior class one soldier was stunned without being able to issue any rebuttal to the junior soldier's explanation.He thought that he had no reason to doubt Lory Blackwell's words. Meanwhile, the strangely gloomy James Gardner looked the other way, as if reluctant to meet Lory Blackwell's eyes that were staring at him innocently. The young war general then said, "It's Riley. It must be him, it can't be wrong."Lory smiled with satisfaction and nodded with relief. The young man let out a long sigh after his statement was beyond doubt.However, he saw the sad look on James Gardner's face that the war general couldn't hide.He even heard James mutter softly, "It really is him. But ... he must be angry with me. If he wasn't angry, why would he leave?"That of course made Lory very surprised. James Gardner had always been known as a very rigid and cold person. He never imag
