Riley suddenly said, "You did it, right?"

James turned to Riley and then replied, "Did what?"

It was clear that James pretended to not know about that.

"Told them about General Mackenzie's son being here?" Riley said, still trying to hold back his emotions.

James shrugged, "I just told them about the possibility. Well, who knows if they believed it?"

Alen Smith snorted, "You did it on purpose because you wanted to find General Mackenzie's son, right?"

Diego said, "You think you can lure the son of the great general to show up?"

Once again, James Gardner visibly grinned and replied, "Of course. That guy will definitely show up on his own. And ... I'll beat him in every match, no matter what."

"Just keep dreaming, as long as you can," Alen said.

Riley said, "It's like you're out of work."

The smug smile vanished from James' face. "Whatever you say, but you three watch. I'll beat him."

Alen and Diego did not respond but Riley said, "Well, good luck then. We'll be your supporte

    Several other people also shouted the same thing."Traitor general's son!" "Get out of here! You don't belong here.""Leave!""Get him out of here!"Mary Kesley, who was the one in charge of the event, immediately raised her hand. "Please calm down!"Unfortunately, Marry's words were completely ignored by the people. They continued to shout excitedly asking James Gardner to leave.The shouts also filled the entire area in front of the gate. It could be said that only a few people were not shouting, including Riley Mackenzie.The young man seemed to not want to make a scene and just stayed there while waiting for them to stop on their own.However, as if deliberately deafening his ears, James Gardner confidently walked towards the front. He then nodded at Mary Kesley who was still trying to calm down the chaos, which was unfortunately still failing.After picking up his backpack, James turned around and walked back to where he had been.But, unfortunately, that was not all that happene

    Riley was quite impressed with the way James looked at the issue of fighting for the soldier's position. The young man even smiled a friendly smile, "You're right. We will compete fiercely." James quickly responded, "I won't be easy for you to beat." "Yes, that's what you have to do. If you're easy for me to beat, then how can you possibly face the person you're looking for?" Riley said. James snorted in annoyance but in his heart he was determined to use all his strength to be superior to all his rivals. "Are we going to stay here until everyone is called?" Allen Smith asked. "I think so," Diego Greco answered as he already looked bored. Riley joined in, "It won't be long. The bags in front are almost gone." "That's right. What do you think the number of potential soldiers will be this year?" Diego asked the three people around him. Alen immediately tried to remember, but Riley was quicker, "Last year there were around 3200 people registering and they only accepted 1000 peopl

    Riley replied quickly, "What are you saying? He probably doesn't even know you exist." James raised an eyebrow and looked sarcastically at Riley, "How could he not know?" Riley smiled in annoyance, "He probably doesn't have time to care about other people's lives." James clicked his tongue, he did not believe in what Riley said.Alen Smith said, "Good grief! Never mind that General Mackenzie's son doesn't have time to find out about you, we don't have either." "That's right. We didn't even think that General Gardner had a son," Diego said honestly. James Gardner looked at the three people who were in the same dorm as him, but he didn't find a lie in their eyes. The 22 year old young man sighed tiredly. "My mother never married my father." He then said.Riley was very, very surprised to hear this too honest confession. Really, he never thought that James would immediately open up like that. Alen and Diego looked at each other, too shocked and confused about how to respond to Jame

    Alen immediately stepped forward full of emotion but Riley quickly stopped the young man by saying, "Hold on!" Alen tried to get away from Riley but Riley still held his arm. "Why should I be the one to hold back, while he just goes around saying things that make people annoyed?" Alen said, looking disapproving. Riley said slowly, "Because he just made you angry. Do you understand that?" Alen was silent so that the young man Riley was calmer and then he let go. Diego was almost losing patience with James but had not done anything yet. James was already standing and crossing his arms, as if challenging Alen to a fight. Riley immediately stood in front of Alen and said in a sharp tone, "Is this all you can do?" James looked at Riley with a confused expression. "You're doing this, pissing off other people and challenging them to fight with you so you don't make too many enemies in the palace soldier recruitment selection?" Riley said. James smiled irritably, "What are you talkin

    Someone even dared to raise his hand. "General." Andrew Reece immediately raised his hand and asked the other prospective soldiers to be quiet and listen to what the young man who was standing had to say. "Yes, please!" Andrew invited the questioner. "General, is that some kind of special program?" The warrior candidate asked excitedly. "Yes. The soldier I train directly under my supervision will automatically participate in the selection of the next war general," Andrew explained. Andrew's explanation certainly made them even more excited. So many people wanted to ask questions but Keannu asked them to be quiet and calm first before letting Andrew continue his explanation. After they calmed down again, Andrew said, "So, there are three candidates who will be the next war generals, replacing me who will immediately step down from this position one year from now." The prospective soldiers looked even more shocked but none of them dared to speak because their king had instructed t

    Andrew Reece replied, "Your Honor, I don't think any of this has anything to do with you at all." "How could it have nothing to do with me? Since he left the palace, he immediately disappeared. His companies were also sold and he must have started a new company. His wife's family also never talked about him, so what if it wasn't because he didn't want the palace to know? By me, to be precise," Keannu explained in a disappointed and sad tone. Andrew Reece turned to the king and said in a calming tone, "Your Majesty, if General Mackenzie hated you, it would be impossible at the end of his reign for you to be close to him. I'm sure you also felt that General Mackenzie was actually friends with you at that time." "Yes, but only for a moment," Keannu replied. Andrew nodded, understanding, "But that's enough to show that your relationship with General Mackenzie has improved since then. So it can't be the main reason." Keannu was silent, trying to believe Andrew's words. "I think he dis

    "Yes, Your Majesty," Andrew Reece answered firmly, as if there was no doubt about his decision. Keannu looked at his war general with a strange look, as if the person sitting beside him had lost his mind. "Are you crazy or what, Reece?" Keannu said with confused eyes. "Your Majesty, I am still very sane. Please listen to my explanation first," Andrew Reece said in a serious expression.Keannu snorted in annoyance but the king who had two children still said, "Say it!" Andrew Reece nodded, excitedly, "James Gardner is said to be looking for General Mackenzie's son. His determination must be very strong. This must be related to events in the past, where Jody Gardner, his father was killed by General Mackenzie." "I already know. That's the problem, Reece," Keannu said through gritted teeth, trying hard to suppress his annoyance at Andrew Reece. "Yes, I understand, Your Majesty. However, that is also what we want, isn't it?" Andrew asked. He tried to make Keannu understand."What do

    James Gardner was silent for a moment, but the young man immediately replied, "Of course I learned about it. That's why I know who killed my father." Several people who initially wanted to attack James with words finally chose to abandon their intentions after they heard the bitterness in James' voice. Riley Mackenzie was at a loss for words. James said again, "You may know all the history of this kingdom better than me, Riley. But ... I certainly understand more than you when it comes to matters related to my father, including my father's murderer." You're wrong, James. I understand the same as you about that problem, Riley thought. The two of them looked at each other as if they had been enemies for a long time, but Riley did not reply to James' last words. "Come on, restrain yourself a little, Riley! You know he's crazy, you don't need to pay attention on him!" Alen said, to which Riley only responded with a small nod. That evening at the palace, all prospective soldiers were

    The 23-year-old loosened the collar of his shirt and then sat down comfortably. His face was bright with a smile. In fact, one of the other passengers sitting in the same compartment with him felt that the young man carrying a backpack with the emblem of the Ans De Lou Kingdom was a very cheerful young man."Excuse me, where are you getting off?" Gary asked to make small talk with his compartment mate.The man who looked about the same age as him replied, "Vues Hill."Gary nodded, "Oh, you mean getting off before me.""Where do you get off?" the man asked back. "Uh, I'll get off at the last station, Wenderstein," Gary replied.The man frowned, "Wenderstein? You're from an area ... that once belonged to the Sealand Kingdom apparently."Gary smiled kindly and nodded, "You seem to know my area."The man immediately nodded, "Of course. I've been there a few times."Gary was reluctant to respond, but the young man sitting in front of him still seemed interested in the topic and asked aga

    "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I ... will stop talking and listen to you," Gary Davis said, who after saying that immediately closed his mouth tightly. The young man also bowed his head as if afraid that he would anger the viceroy.Xylan sighed softly at the compliance of his personal assistant and then responded, "Gary, I ... have broken my promise. I can't make you occupy an important position in this palace."He observed Gary's facial expression which was unfortunately invisible to him as his head was bowed rather deeply.But, looking at Gary who didn't move an inch Xylan was sure Gary was listening to everything he said carefully."But ... that doesn't mean I can't do it forever," Xylan continued.Xylan's words managed to make Gary move his head slightly but still remained in a downcast position.Xylan smiled faintly and added, "Yes, Gary. You didn't hear wrong. I only delayed your appointment. This means that my decision has not changed."Slowly Gary raised his head until Xyl

    "General Gardner, you've always been able to read what's inside my brain," Xylan replied quietly.The corners of James' lips lifted slightly to form a faint smile."Say it, Your Majesty! I am at your disposal," James said casually.Xylan nodded his head, "It's about you.""About me?" James repeated with a surprised expression.The young man had not expected the king's answer to be about him. He thought Xylan meant his concern for the government. In a confused tone he asked, "Does anything I do bother you, Your Majesty?" Xylan shook his head emphatically, "No. You've helped me more than anything. You've actually helped me more than I expected."That certainly made James even more clueless, "So what do you think of me?""It's about our agreement before I was appointed," Xylan replied.James' broad forehead wrinkled, but he quickly realized what Xylan was referring to.As he had expected, Xylan was actually saying, "So, when are you going to start looking for my brother-in-law again?"

    A female staffer from another ministry immediately laughed at Celine Klein's words. That young woman was Lucy Berry.But Celine, the twenty-five-year-old young woman only looked at her with one eyebrow raised. She didn't seem bothered at all, just curious.Some people also ended up laughing along with the woman who also looked Celine's age.Not getting the response she wanted, Lucy said sarcastically, "Why would King Xylan choose a woman from the commoners? Are ... you interested in being his wife?"Celine was about to answer, but Lucy laughed at her again and said, "Don't get your hopes up! Even if King Xylan chooses a woman who is not a member of the royal family, he is still unlikely to look at an ordinary staff like you."The look in her eyes at Celine was clearly very dismissive, yet Celine still looked calm and relaxed.Instead, the young woman boldly said, "Oh my! I didn't say that. I was just wondering. Oh, I see. Perhaps you're the one who dreamed of becoming King Xylan's wif

  • The Strongest God of War   54. The Best King?

    The words of Royal Prime Minister Ans De Lou, who had done a lot for the country, instantly made most of the ministers in the palace become dumbfounded.Many of them were afraid to breathe. In fact, there were also those who dared not just move their eyeballs. It was because they thought Philip Crawford was too bold that they thought that this time the young king who had just been inaugurated would surely lose his temper and become furious.Reiner Anderson, one of the country's war commanders, almost felt that it was the end of the debate between the two men of different generations."Prime Minister Crawford is definitely finished this time. King Xylan won't let him," Reiner said with a tone of voice that sounded full of horror.Josh Cleve winked and said, "You're right, Rei. That accusation is a bit outrageous in my opinion. If that's the case, the viceroy will definitely kick old Crawford out."Benedict Arkitson, who had just joined them, responded, "What's going on between them? W

    Philip Crawford replied, "Your Majesty, you have made a big mistake."Everyone held their breath at Philip's bold answer.In fact, Ashton Rowles looked so shocked that he forgot to close his wide-open mouth."Oh my! Has the Prime Minister lost his mind?" a minister standing not far from Ashton, muttered.A friend of his who was also a minister replied, "He has indeed gone mad.""I think he dares to contradict the king because he is not willing to lose his position," another minister said.A forestry ministry staff nodded, "You're all right, Ministers. It looks like Prime Minister Crawford can't accept the king's decision.""That's obvious. It's just that ... if I were the Prime Minister, I would do the same thing," another ministry staffer said.The Minister of Social Affairs responded, "Why?"The person shrugged, "The problem is ... he was replaced by someone who has criteria far below his. Just imagine! Gary Davis was just a personal assistant. He's nothing more than an ordinary man

  • The Strongest God of War   52. Yes, Prime Minister?

    "No, I told you he couldn't do it, Prime Minister," Ashton Rowles said quietly.However, from the tone of his voice, Philip sensed that Ashton was not sure of what he was saying.That made Philip cluck his tongue, while Ashton himself was also actually beginning to be unsure and astonished.However, he would not reveal his doubts to Philip because he did not want his senior to feel upset."Never mind, if he really intends to fire me, I'll accept it. Maybe it's time for me to retire from the palace," Philip said in a gloomy tone.Ashton suddenly felt sorry but he knew he could do nothing but wait for the king's decision."The position of Prime Minister of Ans De Lou Kingdom will still be held by Philip Crawford who has contributed so much to this kingdom," Xylan said.Philip gaped in disbelief.While Ashton immediately laughed with relief and said, "I'm right, Prime Minister? He didn't fire you.""Congratulations, Prime Minister. You're still in your position," another minister said.T

  • The Strongest God of War   51. The Ministers

    Apparently Ashton did not take offense even though Philip said to him in a sarcastic tone.Instead, Ashton smiled soothingly, "I wouldn't laugh at my senior, Prime Minister."Ashton was indeed fifteen years younger than Philip. Apart from being much younger than Philip, Ashton also had less experience than Philip.Ashton Rowles only set foot in the palace about twelve years ago, when he was 30 years old. He was appointed Minister of Education 4 years ago when he was only 38 years old.He was indeed one of the youngest ministers ever in the Ans De Lou Kingdom, but when compared to Philip Crawford who had served in the palace for more than twenty years, he certainly did not compare."So, why?" Philip asked, still with a resentful tone.Ashton replied, "King Xylan values others. I ... firmly believe that he will retain you, Prime Minister."Philip was stunned, "How can you be so sure, Ashton?"Ashton suddenly became happy, as well as relieved. For him, Philip Crawford calling his name wa

    "Please, Your Majesty," James said softly to the viceroy.Xylan Wellington nodded with relief.With the courage he had always possessed, Xylan began to give his first speech as king of Ans De Lou Kingdom.The young man was smooth and even charismatic. He delivered his entire speech very smoothly. Not once did he falter. So many people immediately admired him. Not only were the officials and staff of the palace impressed by Xylan's speech, but most of the residents of the palace also seemed to like Xylan."He's still very young, but I'm sure he'll make a good king, just like his father and grandfather," one of the female servants said in the grand palace.A friend standing next to her responded, "He not only has a very handsome face, but is also very authoritative. I ... can't believe that the little prince is now officially our king.""The youngest and handsomest king in our kingdom," another servant agreed.The other servants nodded along, agreeing with the words of their friends.
