James sighed softly, “How can I say that before, when I even opened my mouth, you were already pelting me with your weapons from the kitchen?”

Dorothy raised her left eyebrow and gave her son a stern look, “It was your own fault, James.”

However, soon Dorothy walked up to Diego and Shin with a bright expression and also with a warm smile, “Oh, I'm sorry, Dear. You two weren't hit by my throw earlier, were you?”

Shin and Diego were quite surprised. The middle-aged woman standing in front of them was very different from the woman who had thrown those horrible things at them.

She was even smiling warmly and kindly at them, in contrast to the way she looked fiercely at her own son.

“Of course they weren't hit, your son is used to deflecting your attacks, Mom,” James replied in a casual tone.

Dorothy shook her head as if dismissing her son's words.

She then said in a soft tone, “Don't listen to James' babble!”

James immediately pouted.

“Oh, you must be so tired! Come on, let's go inside. I

    “Mom, what are you doing?” James complained as he gave his mother a sullen look.Dorothy chuckled, still ignoring her son's words she said to Diego, “You must be very patient to be able to listen to my son's sometimes painful words.”Diego was stunned. He had never expected James' mother to be so open and honest. Shin, who was holding back his laughter, finally responded, “Auntie, you've described James' character very well.”“Of course, young man. I'm his mother, I know how my son is,” Dorothy replied while glancing at James who still looked annoyed.“Mom, just so you know. I now have many friends and they-”“Immune to your sharp tongue?” Dorothy cut off her son's words.Diego couldn't help but laugh and he ended up chuckling along with Shin.James chewed his food quickly then replied, “Trust me, Mom. In fact, I have one close friend who almost sacrificed his life for me.”The young man looked proud to show off to his mother, while Dorothy raised her left eyebrow and asked quickly,

    If it had been someone else, he would have refused to answer. However, it was his own mother who asked, so there was no way he could refuse to answer.“Not much. He ... just said father isn't as bad as people think. After all, dad is a general of many who has also sacrificed a lot for the Ans De Lou Kingdom,” James explained.Hearing her son's explanation, a faint smile appeared on Dorothy's lips. She then responded, “He hasn't changed, still as wise as ever.”Diego was dumbfounded, while Shin frowned in astonishment at James' mother's words.James snorted and gave his mother a disapproving look, “Mom, come on!”Dorothy waved a hand, “Hey, don't stare at your mom like that. After all, what you said is true.”Suddenly, Dorothy got up from her chair, “Never mind, time has passed. By the way, why haven't you finished eating your food yet?”Shin hurriedly resumed his chewing, while Diego plucked a piece of cake. James sighed softly, not wanting to eat anymore.“When you're done eating, t

    Riley was instantly speechless. Alen's words had shocked him. He had never realized that before.However, it wasn't long before he heard Ben say in a soothing tone, “There's no need to think about it. What you said is just an estimate. We still don't know what might happen.”“Remember, the future can easily change greatly. A prediction is neither a verdict nor a fact,” Ben added.Riley nodded with relief. Alen felt guilty, “Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you think so hard.”“Never mind, it doesn't matter. By the way, how long will it take us to arrive?” Riley asked intentionally to distract her friends.Meanwhile, Ben had apparently contacted his best friend and had gotten a message back.The man breathed a sigh of relief, “Shin and the others have also left. We'll arrive before them.”Riley nodded and immediately rested his body because when they arrived at the palace later, he knew he would be very busy.Meanwhile, inside the palace, the ground war commander, Reiner Anderson

    However, Reiner, who was indeed ignorant and did not really want to know other people's secrets, immediately pushed that matter out of his head.Uh, why would I think about that? It's none of my business, Reiner thought to himself.After finishing the discussion, the war commanders hurriedly left the room along with Andrew Reece who walked towards the direction of the king's residence.“I didn't expect that General Reece would take such offense,” Joseph said.Seamus nodded with a grim expression on his face, “I should have known ....”He let out a long breath first as if gathering strength and only after gaining energy again did he speak, “General Reece has been a war general for more than twenty years and he ... is one of the senior soldiers who has gone to the battlefield thousands of times. He must be able to judge a person's ability well so ... he chose Riley.”Seamus wanted to hit himself on the head for his stupidity in doubting the soon-to-retire war general's choice. Reiner r

    While Reiner was already looking rather irritated, the other two war commanders also shared Reiner's frustration.Meanwhile, James himself was still pensive as if he was confused. However, it was different with Riley. The young man still looked calm and Andrew just watched the son of the legend carefully without interfering in the slightest. “I'll try to discuss it with them,” Riley said suddenly.James immediately turned to his friend, “You mean you want to negotiate with them? Is there any way they'd be willing to do that?”“I don't know, but it's one of the better ways to go about it than starting an attack right away,” Riley explained.Joseph gulped, “Are you sure about it?”Riley looked at Joseph and then nodded, “It's not a matter of being sure or not, but it's more of a way to avoid war and ... even if this method fails, at least we still have time to prepare our troops.”Reiner suddenly winked, seemingly amazed by the strategy Riley had chosen, “Wow! That's good.”Riley nodde

    Michael Hellfric waited for James' reply.Come on, hit me first and I swear I'll hit you back with more painful blows. This is for the sake of my uncle who was killed by your father! Michael thought to himself.However, Michael's hopes could not be realized. Instead of hitting Michael with an outburst of emotion, James gave him a casual smile.This left Michael dumbfounded.James sighed softly, “I know, the inauguration as deputy war general is curious. But ... you should know one thing, Mr. Hellfric.”Michael raised his right eyebrow, looking wary as James walked closer to him and then hunched his shoulders.The young man continued, “King Keannu knew from the beginning that I was the son of Jody Gardner, a war general who was labeled a traitor in this country.”“However, he still gave me the opportunity to prove my worth and this is the result ... I was chosen as deputy war general,” James said as he touched the label on his military uniform.Michael was silent, as if confused by Jam

    James sighed softly, but still seemed reluctant to answer. Meanwhile, Shin apparently still had high curiosity so he asked again, “It's been three years. Have you given up on finding him?”Ben saw James' complicated expression. The young man quickly responded to his friend's words, “Shin, what's wrong with you? It's all in the past. How could a deputy war general have time to think about such matters?”He chuckled but apparently no one was laughing with him so he returned to shutting his mouth tightly as he began to realize that the tension around him was getting serious. Meanwhile, Reiner who was actually very curious but didn't want to make James dig into the past again said, “You've been here and achieved many things, James. You're ... not just an ordinary soldier, but you're a deputy war general who has helped win this kingdom several wars.”“Your service to this kingdom is great. You ... wouldn't possibly destroy all those efforts and achievements just because of that past, wou

    Riley turned to James and said, “I'll go there alone.”Reiner and the other two war commanders gaped in shock, while James firmly said, “No. You're not. Are you out of your mind?”“This is one way we can find out what they really want,” Riley replied.James shook his head and got up from his chair with an angry expression. “We already know their purpose for invading our kingdom. It's clear that they want to take control of part of our kingdom. So, what else should we investigate? Isn't the most important thing to defeat them?” James said in exasperation.If James already looked emotional like that, almost no one would dare to oppose him. He was still very young and everyone in the room was older than him, except Riley.But, the fact was that they knew that whatever the young man who served as a deputy general of war said was mostly the truth.However, Riley was not like other people who just stayed silent when James was angry, so calmly the young man who was only one year older than

    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

    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
