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
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
The two men, Jody Gardner and William Mackenzie, began to perform their respective duties. As the two of them were just returning to duty, they accidentally met at a spot where there were not many other guards. "What did you just do from the control room, Andrew?" "None of your business!" Andrew replied with no intention of looking at Steven. Steven sneered, "Oh, you must be doing-" "What did you just do from the guard room?" Andrew asked back as he put his mobile phone in his pocket. "That's definitely none of your business," Steven replied haughtily. Andrew would have easily guessed it but he chose not to say what he was thinking. "Well, it's better to stay out of other people's business," Andrew replied and he was about to walk away. However, he could hear Steven saying, "Don't be rash! Be careful, Reece! You have to be smart in choosing the people you serve." Andrew stopped walking and turned round and looked at Steven sarcastically. "What do you mean?" Steven smiled mock
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 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
"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
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.
