Bill's words made Shirley tremble, somehow they managed to make her so scared. Indeed, since the man disappeared and then reappeared in the family Bill's aura looked very much different. However, only once did she feel the fear that broke her heart. But that didn't happen to Christopher Wood who had a very hard heart and a pretty bad temper. Rather than feeling fear, the man was so angry that he felt humiliated to have been threatened by his useless grandson-in-law. The old man snarled angrily, "Who do you think you are to threaten your grandfather-in-law, you brat?" "You're so arrogant to even have a job!" Christopher added, seemingly unable to control his anger at all. The veins in his neck were even visible as he shouted angrily. However, Bill didn't have time to reply because he was more busy taking his wife to the hospital. Luckily for Bill, Andrew wasn't too far from the Wood family home. The young man who was currently wearing his sunglasses due to the intense heat of
A strange smile immediately appeared on the lips of the handsome young king. A face that made Monica Wilhelm, who initially had no intention of marrying someone she didn't like, agree to accept his proposal. However, this time Monica looked so astonished by her husband's attitude which she thought was becoming more and more. She was not unaware of her husband's true nature who was not a king with a cool personality, but she still found it difficult to accept the bad side of her husband on this one. Slowly, Keannu turned that strange smile into a lopsided grin that was clearly meant to be insulting. The one being insulted was, of course, William Mackenzie whom the two were discussing. "He just lives in his wife's family. A burden to that family. How disgusting." Keannu paused with a small laugh before resuming his words. "Can you imagine that? The most powerful war general ever in the Ans De Lou Kingdom is in fact considered a loser in his wife's extended family," Keannu taunted
The queen of the Ans De Lou kingdom, Monica Wilhelm gave up because there was no way she could fix or thwart what her husband was up to. Keannu Wellington was the most stubborn person she had ever known in her life. If he already had a very strong desire, then no matter what he would definitely try hard to get it. Even if it meant using dirty tricks. Moreover, he was now a king who had power that could be said to be unlimited, so his desires would no longer be unstoppable. So, without wanting to try anymore Monica chose to immediately leave Keannu and go to her own residence. She waited for the arrival of William Mackenzie who was certain to return to the palace even with a compulsion. "Bring the War Advisor here tonight," Keannu ordered while still holding the glass containing the intoxicating drink. Frederick, a young man not much older than Keannu, bowed slowly. However, he suddenly heard Keannu say again, "If you can't bring yesterday, your life is at stake!" The man who was
The guard jumped in surprise, so much so that he had to take a few steps back. "I don't know, sir," the guard said, starting to look scared. "Move aside!" Bill said. "Sorry, Mr. Bill. You can't come in, Mr. Christopher forbids you-" Unable to wait any longer, Bill burst into the mansion. The guard wanted to stop him, but he didn't dare after seeing the horrified look on Bill's face. Simultaneously, Bill saw the person he was looking for. A grin appeared on Bill's face. For a moment, Arthur looked like he was going to turn around and run away from Bill. But, in fact, he couldn't move his long legs an inch from where he was. His legs felt so heavy, even though his brain had recognized the danger and ordered him to leave immediately. Bill. This grandson-in-law of the Wood family was not at all like before. The man who was much bigger than him now had a different aura that was so frightening. The sweep of his gaze even sent chills down his spine. He looked like a ruthless killer
"Me? Bill Stewart, husband of your granddaughter-in-law, Cassandra Wood, Grandpa. Have you forgotten that?" Bill replied. Christopher gave him an exasperated look. He was like to kill Bill after hearing what Bill said. To him, it was such kind of a joke. "Get out of here and don't ever come back!" Christopher snapped. Bill sighed, "This is the last time I'm holding back, Gramps. Next time, I won't care anymore. I'll face everyone, including Grandpa!" Bill never played with his words. He would do it. The expletive flew out of Christopher Wood's mouth so smoothly, while Bill left the house with wide strides. He turned around briefly before driving back to the hospital where his wife was being treated. As he parked his car at the hospital, he was somewhat surprised to see several people dressed in black with the royal lily emblem on the front pockets of their suits. The lily flower was the symbol of the Ans De Lou Kingdom. As if he was getting a warning, Bill immediately ran towar
A few years ago, the year in which the young Jody Gardner had just earned the trust of joining the main force, he was completely shocked by the unusual sight that was presented in front of his two sea-blue eyes just before he attended an official meeting with one of the ministers at the palace. At that time, the new unit was training outside the palace due to its inadequate buildings and facilities. In his full suit, he saw the war machine crouching near the grass and bushes. A young William Mackenzie was trying to free a cat entangled in a rope by the roadside. Afterwards, he picked up the grey stray cat. "It's bleeding, General," Jody said with a disgusted look. He was a soldier who had seen people killed before his eyes on the battlefield and he never minded that. But if the blood was not from the battlefield, he hated it. The handsome and alluring general calmly replied, "He is injured." Jody looked at the cat's paw and winced in displeasure. He looked the other way. "Why a
Steven did not understand the strange words spoken by his general, so he chose to remain silent, not wanting to make any unnecessary mistakes. "Stev, from now on you'll have to keep a closer eye on the War Advisor." "Yes, General." Jody grinned and said again, "How long will it take you to get him out of here?" "Gen-general," Steven stammered, actually knowing what Jody meant but he was just surprised. Jody turned around, "Come on, didn't you say you'd help me get him out of here, Stev?" "Uh, that problem ... I ... might take a while, General." Jody groaned in displeasure, "Why long? Is it difficult?" "General, King Keannu must be the one to expel him himself. And for that, it means we have to convince King Keannu that Bill Stewart doesn't belong here." "I know that. So?" Jody replied lazily. "Bill Stewart will have to make mistakes that will anger King Keannu so one or two won't be enough. We need more, General." Steven's explanation made Jody smile, "Oh, I see. So, you're
That morning was the start of Bill being aware of Jody Gardner's every move. At first, he just thought he was scared of him taking his position. But, this soon developed because it seemed that the man was suspicious of him and wanted to destroy him slowly. By approaching the king, who was quite close to him, he was convinced that Jody would use the king to put him in a tight spot. However, he was not someone who easily gave up or accepts defeat. He was a god of war who possessed the highest power the kingdom had ever seen. He certainly did not want to be defeated by anyone, his pride would not allow that to happen. He had been trained to face enemies with various characters. No one could destroy him and no one succeeded in deceiving him. Facing someone like his former subordinate was certainly easy enough for him. He then flashed a sincere smile as he looked at Jody Gardner. "Oh, of course, Your Honour." Bill said as he turned around and said again, "Thank you, General." Jo
Lory Blackwell paused, trying to compose himself.According to what he knew, the forest located in the border area close to the Mecco Kingdom was an uninhabited forest. The dense forest was a wild forest inhabited only by animals. Although soldiers from the two kingdoms, Ans De Lou Kingdom and Mecco Kingdom, did check regularly, it was still very rare.So, it was no surprise that Lory thought he had misheard. "Probably just a hallucination." The young man said quietly and nodded, reassuring himself.However, after a few seconds he heard the same voice again, "Hey, I'm over here."Lory's eyes widened. He became very alert.On such a dark night, of course he couldn't see very clearly so he could only squint and hold his gun tightly. But, from the voice of the person, Lory guessed that the voice was coming from his right so he turned his head to his right. As he climbed up the large tree that he used as cover, he did notice that there were several other large trees in the vicinity.
Ben quickly racked his brain, thinking of the right way to put James at ease. But before he could come up with a good line, he heard James say again, "Or ... is he angry that I took his current position? But, ...."James shook his head weakly, "There's no way he's angry because of that right? Moreover ... he knows very well that I never wanted her position. He must be-""Stop thinking like that, James! Are you stupid?" Ben said in an annoyed tone.James was about to respond, but Ben raised his right hand as if asking James to be quiet for a few moments.James seemed to understand the meaning of Ben's gesture and he let out a long sigh.Ben swallowed before explaining, "James, you know Riley doesn't care about the title 'War General' either. Basically, both of you are not crazy about positions."James faltered. Ben was right. How could Riley be disappointed and angry with me over this damn title? That doesn't sound like 'Riley Mackenzie', James thought.The young man exhaled harshly.
Without looking away, Ben thought hard. James didn't just stand by, waiting for Ben's answer. He himself repeatedly touched the handkerchief to scrutinize it. Not only that, the war general of Ans De Lou Kingdom was also sniffing the gray handkerchief as if he was looking for something.Seeing what James was doing, Ben impatiently commented, "You're not a dog. How can you track someone's whereabouts from sniffing that thing?"James instantly gave Ben an exasperated look, "That's not it. I'm just trying to smell this handkerchief. Who knows ... it might turn out to be a clue.""Then ... did you get a clue after sniffing the cloth?" Ben asked with a casual look.With a look of disappointment, James replied, "No. I didn't. I just smelled the earth."Had they not been in a serious situation, Ben's laughter would have exploded. However, they were working on an important mission so Ben knew he had to restrain himself. He certainly didn't want to be seen as trivializing his friend's rescu
Foei Maccray turned around and looked sarcastically at the junior.When he saw Lory Blackwell's compliance, Foei Maccray smiled wryly as if satisfied that he had succeeded in making one of his juniors submit to his orders.Of course, that made him feel big-headed. Hence, Foei haughtily said again, "Keep standing here until we are out of your sight. After that ... then you can walk."Lory Blackwell did not reply. But Foei took his silence as obedience so he said, "Good! You should obey your seniors' orders."Lory just swallowed without daring to say a word. However, Foei did not need an answer so he just continued walking along with his good friend, Derrick Weybe who looked bored in Lory's neighborhood. The other soldiers followed the two senior soldiers with mixed feelings. Apparently there were some of them who were starting to feel sympathetic towards Lory. But due to their status and class being much lower than the two senior soldiers who were bullying Lory, they chose to be cowa
Derrick snorted in annoyance, while Foei immediately responded, "Oh, you seem to be very timid!" Foei cast his gaze at Derrick and then flashed a smile with a mocking expression. Derrick shook his head, also smiling mockingly."If you're scared, why would you want to participate in this important mission?" Foei said.Lory quickly shook her head, "I'm not afraid ... I’m just-""Huh? Not afraid? Then, why did you just say that?" Derrick cut Lory off, as if he deliberately didn't want to hear Lory speak."You're obviously a coward! Oh my! You should have stayed in the palace and not joined the search for General Mackenzie," Foei explained with a lopsided smile. "Coward!" Derrick taunted again. "A pathetic soldier like you who dares to tell us we're slow? Who do you think you are, my superior?" Foei said with a cold tone and a dismissive expression.Oh, he was really very satisfied seeing Lory's helpless expression.The two men deliberately wanted to humiliate Lory. Their intentions w
Seeing James' confident smile, Ben instantly realized that his best friend was unpredictable. But, when he recalled the relationship between James and Riley in the past, he felt that everything James said was true. Riley had always been completely open to James. The young man only hid one thing, which was the fact that he was William Mackenzie's son. Other than that, Riley had no other secrets from James. Meanwhile, Riley was also the only person who could understand James very well. Only Riley is able to understand every action taken by James and James only wants to talk about things with Riley.So, seeing all these facts, Ben finally nodded, "Okay, then. What should I do?"James snorted and immediately put on a sullen face, "Come on, Ben! I told you earlier."Ben rolled his eyes, "I still don't understand. Please explain in more detail!"With an annoyed expression James replied, "If I had the authority to downgrade soldiers, I would definitely downgrade you to class two."Ben's n
Although they seemed confused by the war general's order, they still unanimously replied, "Yes, General."It wasn't long before all the soldiers formed a line where they would prepare to search for Riley Mackenzie as ordered by James Gardner.Most of the first class soldiers did not hesitate to do the task, but there were some of the class two soldiers who seemed to be unsure of what they were going to do.Two of them were Foei Mccray and Derrick Weybe."I don't understand why General Gardner is searching the forest. How could General Mackenzie be here? This doesn't make sense," Derrick said, who had just lined up facing the front of the forest.The twenty-six year old young man was in the front row with his best friend so they could still talk in a fairly low tone of voice.Foei nodded in agreement, seemingly thinking the same as Derrick, "He's probably too frustrated to pick a spot."Derrick exhaled harshly then glanced towards the front where several class one soldiers seemed to be
Gary Davis shook his head with a super confused expression. He couldn't guess what might have happened. He himself did not know James Gardner very well. He entered the palace when James Gardner had just resigned from the post of deputy general of war. So basically he had only met James a few times. It was different with Riley Mackenzie. He had met Riley countless times. In fact, it could be said that he already knew how Riley behaved. However, he could not think of anything about James Gardner. He was just like a blind man when it came to James. "Even young General Mackenzie is not suspicious of you. He's been in the palace longer than that general. I don't understand," Elena said, who also hadn't found the answer to the question that was bothering her.She also still didn't understand. However, a thought occurred to Gary. "Maybe I was in too much of a hurry, Gran," Gary said suddenly.Elena frowned, "What do you mean, Gary? What kind of hurry?"Gary sighed softly, "Approaching
Elena Goldwin bit her lip, feeling she had done something wrong. The old woman said, "I'm sorry, Prince ... oh, I mean ... Gary."Seeing Elena's soulful face, Gary became uncomfortable. He looked at the old woman who had taken care of him since he was a child. That woman had done so much for her family. Not only did she devote herself as a household assistant, she also became a substitute mother figure for his brother. Indeed, her age was more appropriate to be called a "grandmother", but her role was more suitable as a mother to herself and Rowen.Oh my! What have I done? She sacrificed so much, but what have I done? The old woman who has helped me with all her time and energy, I almost made her cry, Gary thought in exasperation.The young man touched Elena's hand, startling the woman. She then heard Gary say, "You don't have to apologize, Gran. And I ... I'm the one who should be apologizing to you. Please, forgive me for getting angry just because you called me that."Elena ga
