"Just say what you have to say!" Cassandra said, already impatient.

Bill took his wife's hand and said, "Before I met you, I was a soldier, Cassie. I worked in the palace, but ...."

"But what?" Cassandra asked with bated breath.

"I resigned over 3 years ago and on my way home I was attacked until I almost died," Bill said.

Cassandra stared in shock, "Attacked how, Bill? Who attacked you?"

The beautiful woman's lips seemed to tremble as she said it and it made Bill become more careful.

"I don't know, Cassie. That's when I was rescued by Grandma Minerva and ended up marrying you," Bill explained.

Cassandra was still a little confused, "How did she save you?"

Bill couldn't possibly say he was dumped in the suburbs because that would complicate things even more. So, he chose to say, "Grandma found me dying on the road. She healed me."

Cassandra was silent for a moment, "So, you're really marrying me because of that? As a favour to Grandma?"

Bill nodded without hesitation.

    Cassandra became even more suspicious of her husband but she refrained from asking. The beautiful woman even handed her husband a glass of water. "Thank you, Cassie!" Bill said quickly. He hurriedly downed the water and when he put the glass on the table, he still saw his wife staring at him unblinkingly. "What are you thinking about?" Bill asked after wiping his mouth with a tissue. Cassandra made a gesture as if she wasn't thinking anything nor did she force her husband to speak. Bill was even more confused and thought that maybe his wife had found out that he had more than just one company. However, when he saw her questioning gaze, he quickly dismissed the thought from his mind. "I ... haven't thought about building a company but if you want to, I can build one for you," Bill said and he chose the safest way. Cassandra was wide-eyed when she heard her husband's words, "You ... are you that rich to easily build a company?" Bill quickly shook his head, "No, Cassie. It's jus

    Bill was still trying to be patient, "Oh, the urn. If you didn't do it on purpose, of course it doesn't matter, but if you did it on purpose, of course I'll sue for compensation." Hearing Bill's answer which was said so calmly also made Shirley annoyed, "You want to sue your own sister-in-law?" "Shirley!" Cassandra said and she was completely ignored by her biological sister. Bill shrugged, "I don't care if it's my sister-in-law or not but if someone tries to interfere with mine then I won't stay silent." Shirley only exhaled harshly and then she saw her brother as well as her grandfather and also her husband who looked so enthusiastic about entering the house headed there. Cassandra quickly greeted her family, "Grandpa, George, Peter. Welcome to our house." Christopher Wood frowned at that sentence, "Your home? Isn't it a bit much when you call a rental property your own?" Cassandra immediately glanced at her husband who still looked so relaxed even though she heard her own gra

    "Something like that," Bill said. The three members of Cassandra's family froze in their places, while Peter calmly said, "Oh, it's fitting that you were able to get the gold disc. Well done, Brother-in-Law!" Peter did not hide his admiration for Bill and now he was feeling his past bad behaviour towards Bill. However, Peter was not someone who apologized easily so he didn't say a word. Bill turned to his wife who was silent and this made him very uneasy. "Grand, George, Shirley and Peter, please come to the dining room as your servants have prepared food for you," Bill said. Peter replied, "Oh, I wonder what the servants of such a luxurious house are serving." Peter then forced his wife to walk with him to the dining room, leaving George and Christopher behind wordlessly. However, it wasn't long before the two men caught up with Peter and Shirley. "Wow! This is absolutely marvellous! I've never seen such a luxurious dining table," Peter said admiringly while occasionally touc

  • The Strongest God of War   59. With What?

    With great difficulty Bill finally replied, "Yes, Cassie. I promise I won't do anything out of line." Cassandra gave a small nod. She had known her husband for more than three years but she still didn't know anything about him other than what he showed her. All this time she had never asked her husband any questions or sought information about him directly. Perhaps this was also because she always felt disappointed and resentful of Bill who she could never rely on. For her, the old Bill was just a useless husband who could only trouble her. All of her expenses were covered and the money Bill made from looking after the fruit stall was only enough to provide them with a few things. However, who would have thought that the man would have changed so drastically. Apart from leaving home and returning with a number of surprises that amazed her, Bill also seemed to have changed completely in terms of behaviour. Bill used to never reply or correct all the bad words about him that came fr

    Peter, who had heard Christopher's plan, sneered but did not respond with any words. Meanwhile, his wife Shirley seemed satisfied that her grandfather was going to do something about his arrogant brother-in-law. "Grandpa, I'm sure he has too many enemies over there," Shirley said. Christopher responded, "And it's your brother's job to find out who Bill's enemies are so we can use them to our advantage." Oh, Shirley really liked her grandfather's plan. She was really fed up with her brother-in-law who had ruined her marriage with Peter. If only he hadn't given her the gift of the gold disc that Peter loved so much back then, then her married life with Peter would still be harmonious. However, Bill had ruined everything and now her marriage was on the verge of collapse. It could be said that Peter never cared about him at all and only cared about his own affairs. "Don't worry, Gramps! I'll definitely find out who we can work with to destroy Bill!" George said. "That's right, Gr

    "My favour?" Bryan askded questioningly. "Yes. It's about my brother-in-law," George replied. Bryan was even more confused, "Hey, is this a domestic issue? I can't help you. Why don't you call a marriage counsellor?" George immediately shook his head firmly, "Oh, no. You've got it all wrong. It's not a domestic matter like you mean." "So what?" Bryan's right eyebrow shot up, looking rather astonished. Their conversation was momentarily interrupted when the waiter arrived with their order. Bryan smiled happily, "Oh, you still remember my favourite food and drink." "Of course, Bryan. We weren't friends for long, I still remember." Bryan nodded happily and when the waiter left their area, George quickly resumed their conversation. "Do you remember what I asked you at my sister's wedding? About the great General Mackenzie's gold disc?" Bryan took a few sips of his capucino before replying, "Yes, why, is it related?" "Yes, Bryan. I asked you because it was my brother-in-law who

    George smiled mysteriously in response to his friend's remark. "Come here, I have a good plan." Bryan approached George and the tall, well-built and handsome man whispered something to Bryan. As soon as he heard George's plan, Bryan frowned. But a moment later he smiled too, raised his glass and seemed to invite his friend to make a toast. "To our success." "Of course, we will," George said with confidence. On the other hand, Bill had already intended to return to the palace soon and was now packing up some of his belongings. Cassandra, who was just watching, asked, "When are you coming back here?" "It won't be long," Bill replied. "How many days does the palace staff have for holiday?" Bill immediately stopped what he was doing and turned to his wife, "I don't know, but I think I can apply for a holiday if I complete one task." Cassandra raised her right eyebrow, "Don't do that! You have to work really hard so that your job can stay with you." Bill quickly sat beside hi

    The man who was being questioned by Bill laughed even more, making Bill unable to restrain himself. Bill hit the man again but now with full force. His teeth were knocked out and Bill didn't care, he pulled his neck again even though the man's mouth was full of blood. "If that bomb goes off and kills innocent people, I swear I'll look for you even in the grave!" Bill threatened and he took the time to kick the man's stomach mercilessly. Bill closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down. "Pull yourself together, Bill! Let's think!" He tapped his finger on the windscreen. "Let's think one more time! Where do you think your enemy has placed the bomb?" He glanced at his watch and realized he was running out of time. He had only two minutes and thirty-six seconds left. He also glanced at Andrew Reece's unconscious body and it was clear that waking up the trusted bodyguard would be a waste of time. "Come on, BIll! Think it more! You were once an invincible War General. How could

    James suddenly gave Gardner a lopsided smile. He knew it was not easy being Xylan Wellington's shield. But, he really did not expect that the crown prince who he thought was so smart was also so innocent.His intelligence seemed to be inversely proportional to his knowledge in terms of understanding the world around him.However, he had already decided to replace Riley in order to make up for the few years of time he had wasted so he should try to be patient.Thus, he calmly replied, "You should start thinking about the matter of all of their opinions, Your Highness.""Why should I?" Xylan retorted, who did not seem to accept James' words.James bit his lower lip, feeling the need to suppress his irritation even more. Come on, James. Don't give up so easily! James thought to himself."Because you are the future king and will soon inherit the throne of this country. So, you should start thinking about what they think of you," James replied.Xylan was about to reply, but James was fas

    The indecision on Xylan Wellington's face was evident. James Gardner, who felt that he had succeeded in making the crown prince realize the big mistake Xylan was about to make, called out, "Your Highness."Xylan flinched slightly when he heard his name being called by James.The young man turned to James, but still did not open his mouth.At that moment, James Gardner was certain that Xylan would change the decision they had just discussed.However, he suddenly saw Xylan smiling at him. That of course made James blink his eyes in confusion.But, within seconds, his confusion was answered. He heard Xylan say, "General Gardner, what you said is true. Everything is right. I ... might get some opposition for choosing Gary Davis as the king's advisor."He nodded. James immediately got a bad feeling that he didn't want to imagine."But, General Gardner. I have found no other good candidate than Gary Davis for that position. And ...."He paused for a moment, seemingly thinking about somethi

    "Yes, that's right. My personal assistant who ... is currently outside the door of my father's residence," Xylan replied, not seeming to find anything strange about his answer.James was still so shocked that he was left speechless, at a loss for what to say in response to Xylan's explanation."Why, General Gardner?" Xylan asked as he looked at James who was not speaking.James moistened his lower lip, still thinking of the right words.However, Xylan couldn't wait for him so he spoke again, "General Gardner, I know what you're thinking."James blinked his eyes, looking stunned.Xylan let out a long breath, "This must be the status of Gary Davis who is my personal assistant, right?"James' eyes widened slightly until he then looked at the crown prince with an astonished look.That's what I mean, why would you even think of making a personal assistant an advisor to the king? Have you ... lost your mind, Your Royal Highness? James thought to himself.Uh, James Gardner actually never jud

    "Tell me, so I can do what I should, Your Royal Highness," James added.Xylan returned the war general's gaze with a look that looked very serious. The young man who had originally made one of the major decisions finally opened his mouth, "It has to do with ... the determination of the new palace officials after I take office as king."James was silent for a moment, looking a little surprised. It was only natural that Xylan Wellington had been thinking about his future reign. However, he didn't think it was the right time.His father hadn't even been buried yet. Why was he already thinking of something else? Isn't he still grieving? James thought.Xylan cleared his throat, causing James to give him a strange look. Not wanting James to think strangely about him or even misunderstand him, Xylan hurriedly explained, "General Gardner, it's not what you're thinking."James did not respond immediately and instead waited for Xylan's further explanation.Xylan himself was smart enough to q

    However, before James Gardner could think further about it, Monica Wilhelm, the queen who had just lost her husband said, "Never mind, there's no need to prolong it anymore."Afterward, Monica turned her body around and faced the palace officials who were still in the palace. She sighed softly before saying, "As I wanted earlier, are you willing to let us mourn the passing of your king before we organize a funeral ceremony for him?"Without hesitation, all the palace officials unanimously replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."One by one, the palace officials left the king's residence area, leaving only the special soldiers protecting the king, queen, princess and crown prince.Meanwhile, some of James Gardner's men also remained in the area as per James' orders."General Gardner, please help," Monica said.James nodded and immediately did his duty as the kingdom's war general to prepare all the necessities used for security.

    "Uh, if you're not ready to give up that important position, shouldn't you be careful when you speak, Prime Minister? Remember, what you're talking about is not appropriate," James said in a sharp tone.Anyone who heard James' threatening voice would surely be afraid. James waited but he was sure that his threat would be effective making that prime minister afraid of him.And unexpectedly, James Gardner's threat succeeded in silencing old Philip. Philip no longer dared to speak and remained silent. However, his resentful gaze could still be seen by James.Of course, you must be very upset with me, Prime Minister. However, you certainly don't want to lose your position just because of that ridiculous accusation, James thought.This made Monica Wilhelm and her two children feel a little calmer."Y-Your Majesty, I... I ...." Philip tried to speak again, but his nervousness was so obvious that James knew the old man would not dare to say anything nonsense again. James immediately respon

    Philip Crawford coughed as he heard James Gardner's words.James raised his right eyebrow, seemingly waiting for Philip's explanation.Philip cleared his throat and replied without daring to look at James, "I am not the one accusing you, General Gardner. It's just that ... the entire population of the Ans De Lou Kingdom is talking about this. Let's just say I'm just relaying what they're thinking."James laughed softly, making Philip instantly turn to him. Likewise, Monica and her two children looked surprised at the war general's reaction."W-what's so funny about what I said that you're laughing, General Gardner?" Philip said in an offended tone.James stopped his laughter and sighed softly before saying, "There's nothing funny. It's just that I find you very cowardly, Prime Minister.""Cowardly? What do you mean, General?" Philip widened his eyes, clearly taking offense."That's right. Of course you're just a coward. You're acting on behalf of the people's opinions, when it was you

  • The Strongest God of War   33. The Cause

    "So, you can give us time to mourn our family members, right? You have not forgotten that Keannu Wellington was not only the king of this country, but he was the head of our family. He is my husband, the father of my two children and a grandfather to my grandson," Monica said in a flat but firm tone.The queen's words apparently succeeded in making the palace officials look at each other and finally fell silent.Some of them seemed to take a few steps back as if they really didn't want to disturb members of the royal family anymore. James Gardner himself smiled to see the palace officials, some of whom were important ministers, not moving in front of the queen. James could not help but be impressed by the queen's ability to make people obey her orders. It was because according to James it was very rare.Before he gave up his post as a deputy general of war, he had met so many queens from various kingdoms around the world. However, not many queens had authority. Monica Wellington wa

    Since James had not moved from where he was standing and was instead as still as a statue, Rowena immediately glanced at Xylan.Xylan of course understood her sister's meaning so she quickly said, "General Gardner, are ... are you alright?"James snapped out of his reverie and nodded at Xylan. With confusion ruling his mind, he still stepped into the king's room.Once he entered the area for the first time, James could see the body of the king of Ans De Lou Kingdom lying stiffly on the luxurious bed. He could only exhale softly at the sight of the person who had been responsible for the complicated relationship between his father and Riley's father. As a result of the dead king's mistake, his relationship with Riley was strained.However, the king had apologized to him and he had forgiven all his mistakes so there was no anger or resentment in James' heart.Instead, he was saddened by the loss of Keannu Wellington.
