Without turning to his best friend, Riley replied with a shocked look in his eyes, “Who else? The one whose name is Benedict Arkitson is the Senior Ben we know.”James immediately smacked his lips, still looking surprised.However, it was only for a few seconds, as he was able to control himself well, “Calm down, it's just a challenge, nothing real.”Riley closed his eyes, looking stressed and depressed.“We're not really fighting, James. But ... this is also about Senior Ben's reputation too. Do you understand what I mean?” Riley said who suddenly had a bad mood.James was not ignorant, of course he knew and understood what Riley was saying. It was just that he tried not to make Riley more depressed.“Look, I'm sure Senior Ben won't blame you if you beat him. He also knows your position, so he'll understand,” James said.Riley opened his eyes and turned to James, “Why me? Why can't he just be Senior Josh's opponent?”“I ... don't want to be the one who will embarrass him,” Riley cont
The Wood family was currently gathered together in their living room after the engagement ceremony between Shirley Wood, the youngest of the Wood family and Peter Green, the son of the gold mine owner at Carlo Hill. Cassandra Wood who was the older sister of Shirley, was sitting on the edge and didn't seem to like being there. Several times she saw her husband being a servant to her family. She was upset. Very upset. How could she not? Her husband had no authority whatsoever and was often the target of her family. She really wanted to see her husband fight back, at least once. But, in fact, until they had been married for almost three years, Bill was still the same. Still becoming a useless son-in-law to her family. "Hurry up and fill this glass, Bill!" Shirley ordered her brother-in-law. Bill calmly picked up the bottle of red wine and opened it quickly and refilled Shirley's glass. He then stood next to the old man who was Cassandra's grandfather, Christopher Wood who h
It was clearly seen that Bill was very angry. A shocked Christopher immediately asked, "Why are you yelling at Peter, Bill?" Bill pointed at Peter with his index finger with uncontrollable anger. "He's-" "What are you doing? Why are you pointing at Peter like that?" Shirley said, already approaching her future husband, visibly annoyed by her brother-in-law's behavior. "He said he wanted to get close to Cassandra," Bill said with an angry growl. Shirley was wide-eyed and immediately raised her hand, intending to slap Bill. But swiftly, Bill managed to brush it off. "How dare you make such a dirty accusation. He's not as low as you are, Bill!" Shirley said with great annoyance. "He said it himself. He-" "Enough, Bill!" Christopher shouted, looking furious. Bill let out a long breath. His chest was heaving, indicating he was furious. Peter said, "What do you mean by that? I'm just saying your wife is beautiful. Is that wrong?" He turned to Chistopher, "Mr. Wood, I
Bill sat in front of Emma's fruit stall until morning. The stall owner was quite surprised to see Bill there in the same clothes. However, she didn't ask any questions because she saw Bill's somewhat rumpled expression. As Bill was cleaning up the fruit scattered on the floor, a fruit buyer who had been there since before Bill arrived approached him. Bill turned to him with an astonished look. "Yes, Sir. How can I help you?" "Yes, General." Bill's pupils suddenly dilated at the call. Why was this man calling him 'General'? Did he recognize him? But how could he? Bill quickly put down the fruit basket and looked at the neatly dressed young man with a probing look. "Who are you? Why are you calling me 'General'?" The young man, who Bill guessed was much younger than him, said, "It's me, General. Your subordinate. Andrew." Bill squinted, trying to remember. Only a few people knew his real face.Was it perhaps someone he knew? But, it doesn't feel like his face is w
Then, after knowing about the news he should think how to stop his grandfather-in-law. In the evening, when he had just locked Emma's fruit stall, he was suddenly approached by a number of large men who Bill guessed were common thugs. "I'm tired, don't bother me now!" Bill said with a face that looked so tired. A thug who appeared to be their leader came forward carrying a barbell. Bill scowled, "What are you going to do with that?" "You're the one who broke Baron's arm yesterday, right?" The thug asked with the fierce look. Bill frowned and suddenly remembered a thug who had come to Emma's stall and intended to disrupt it. "Uh, I didn't know that I broke it." "Hit him!" the leader ordered with anger. Bill casually engaged the men without expending much energy. He managed to land several punches on target. However, Bill was caught off guard by his cell phone which suddenly vibrated. The leader took advantage of Bill's unpreparedness and hit him rather hard in the stom
Bill walked into the Woods' house in confusion. He wanted to help his wife but he still didn't know what to do. In the midst of his confusion, Andrew Reece, who was his trusted man, came back. "No, General!" Andrew said. "My wife is inside. I have to help her." "General, how about we make a deal?" Andrew asked. Bill frowned, "What deal?" "If you are willing to come back, we will help you, General." Bill exhaled harshly, realizing that nothing in this world is free. Very reluctantly, Bill said, "Alright, I'll be back." Andrew smiled happily. Andrew then took an action to help Bill. "Good morning, General!" Andrew greeted on the day of Bill's return. "How are you today, General?" the young man asked with a bright smile. "No need for pleasantries. Get on with it, Reece." Andrew even smiled nervously from too much excitement, "Yes, General." "But before that, I'll have a word with King Keannu first." "Yes, General. He will be happy to see you." "I'll take my
"Your Majesty," Bill said suddenly.He bowed before his king, paying his respects. "It is my pleasure to have the honor of meeting the leader of this country."King Keannu frowned, somewhat confused. But when he saw Bill's expression as if he was throwing a code at him, the king understood."Your Majesty, he is-""General Gardner, there's no need to prolong this," Keannu said in firmly."But, Your Majesty. This man-""He's my guest, General. He is under my supervision. Do you understand now?" Keannu asked.Jody was about to say something else but suddenly the king said, "I would like to speak with my guest for a moment, General."Obviously an order telling Jody to stay away from there, the man understood quickly. Although, curiosity got the better of him, Jody chose to retreat."Yes, Your Majesty," Jody excused himself.The man bowed and left the building followed by his loyal men.As soon as the doors of the Silver building were closed, Keannu immediately turned to Bill and smiled bro
"Shut up, Harry!" Andrew snapped, already filled with the anger that was rapidly coursing through his veins after hearing the derogatory remarks that his two colleagues had hurled at the great general he respected so much. He simply could not accept it.Harry looked up in surprise, "Why are you angry? Isn't the one you brought a beggar? Look at the clothes he's wearing! The taxi driver's clothes outside are better than his.""Stop it! Don't ever dare to say like that!" Andrew said, pointing at Harry with his index finger."Have you forgotten who I am?" Harry retorted, now glaring fiercely at Andrew."Let's fight!" Andrew said irritably."This isn't necessary," Bill said and he strangely didn't feel offended by the two men's remarks. This was probably because he was so used to being insulted and abused by people, that he just took it as an afterthought."They have the nerve to insult you, Gen-""Andrew Reece!" Bill cut it.Andrew realized he was about to make a big mistake. He complie
