William immediately turned to his wife and held her shoulders, trying to calm her down, even though he himself was growing restless.

Then he turned his eyes back to the young girl who was the daughter of his best friend.

"Mary, you're not wrong about this, are you? Jody Gardner ... has a son? Why didn't I hear about this before?" William still sounded like he couldn't believe it.

Mary explained, "We don't know exactly how, General Mackenzie. But judging by James Gardner's birth record, it is most likely that his mother, Dorothy Winks, left the palace while she was pregnant. And ... it is possible that Jody Gardner himself did not know that his lover was pregnant."

William frowned, as if trying to jog his memory. The incident had happened more than 20 years ago, but he was sure he could remember what had happened.

He vaguely remembered that Dorothy Winks had left the palace long before the incident in which he killed Jody Gardner.

"Well, actually, his birth certificate has the name

    "Yes," William replied again, simply.Before Mary could ask any questions of the war general who had once earned the nickname "God of Death," Cassandra, who had lived with her husband for nearly twenty-five years, asked with widen eyes in disbelief, "You're going to keep your visit to the palace a secret, Bill?"William gave his wife a faint smile, "You know me very well, Cassie."Cassandra snorted, "The two of us have lived together for almost half my life, of course I can guess your train of thought.""But ... why do you want to keep it a secret?" Cassandra asked now with her thick eyebrows raised."Because I only want to talk to Riley, not the people in the palace," William explained firmly.He remained true to his principles, unwilling to dwell too much on the palace life he had left behind long ago. All he cared about was his son.Cassandra still showed a confused expression, so William slowly and patiently explained, "I need to talk to Riley so that he knows what he is doing now

    "The most important thing for us right now is to get the two remaining pins. Losing the current two pins won't have a bad effect," Riley explained reasonably.Alen winked, "Oh yeah. That's right. The number of pins taken from us is unknown, but ... I still think the number we will get is much higher.""Hmm, the issue of the number of pins taken by the enemy only affects our final ranking, right? It has nothing to do with whether or not we can escape," Dean said.Warren, who was able to think clearly, finally said, "Then go. Get the remaining pins! We'll try to keep the pins we still have, but if we can't ....""It won't be a problem," Riley continued, trying to reassure Warren.Warren also nodded with a slightly embarrassed expression. And with that agreement, Riley left his three friends in the area near the food warehouse.Riley moved quickly with sharp eyes always watching his surroundings. He didn't have any pins to protect, so he was now completely an attacker.As soon as his brig

    "Riley Wood?" one of the group said, laughing."Why should we run? He's alone," the second pin owner said."That's right. We can definitely catch him," the first pin owner continued, looking confident that he could defeat Riley."You idiots, this is Riley Wood. Did you forget what the ... group said?"The warner did not continue, but instead snorted in annoyance. In an exasperated tone, he said, "Screw you!"After swearing like that, he was the first to run away. Meanwhile, the two pin owners and the other two people were still standing there as if they wanted to prepare for fighting Riley."He's such a coward!" the second pin owner said sarcastically when he saw his friend actually running to save himself.Riley let out a harsh breath and charged at them without a word. As usual, the young man did not actually hurt his opponent. He always tried to render his opponents helpless by attacking some of their weak points.In fact, as far as attacking his opponents was concerned, Riley had

    Justin didn't take offense and said, "Hm, you're right. I'll see you at the palace."After saying that, Justin and the rest of his group left the area. Riley walked at a light pace towards the main post where his airship was waiting for all his group members to be brought back to the palace. He could see a lot of confused would-be soldiers looking for pins to make their group escape. When they saw Riley, they could only hold their breath in disappointment for not getting anything. One of the rules of the third mission was that the group that passed should not be disturbed and the pins could no longer be taken. However, even so, Riley was quite curious about the final result regarding their missing pins.So, when he reached the boundary line, after the staff had logged him out of the forest area with the automated machine, he immediately looked for the special monitor where there were details about the pins gained and lost of all the groups.And he breathed a sigh of relief, pleased

    "Oh, he's really got me worried, Riley," Alen said anxiously.He was wringing his hands to overcome his anxiety. Riley himself was also starting to worry but he was still trying to remain calm, unlike Alen who was becoming increasingly agitated to the point of repeatedly standing on tiptoe to look towards the forest border area.With only three minutes left, Alen exclaimed, "There he is! Damn it!"Riley caught sight of a young man with a sweaty face who ran over in a hurry at the same time that Diego Greco's group had also completed the third mission."I'm going to give him a beating first for giving me a near-heart attack," Alen said who then ran straight towards Diego who was also running.However, apparently Riley didn't see the scene where Alen hit his room-mate, the young man hugged Diego as if he hadn't seen him for a long time. Riley smiled and shook his head at the encounter between the two friends.As he waited for the next announcement, someone cleared their throat behind hi

    Alen was instantly silenced. The soldier's words were too sharp for him to answer.The soldier let out a long sigh. He could not really blame the future soldier for his complaints. However, he had to be strict in order to make their recruit's mentality stronger.With a serious expression, the soldier who looked quite young said, "This is just an exercise. But you're already complaining. I suggest that if you really feel that you can't handle your days as a junior soldier here, you better pack your things and leave the palace now." "You know, there are thousands of people who want to be soldiers in this country. And we just sent home hundreds of potential soldiers who failed the third mission," the officer named Daniel Moore continued.Daniel looked at Alen's name tag and said again, "And you, Alen Smith. We don't mind sending you home if you don't want to. How's that?"Alen was even more stunned, unable to move, even breathing was very difficult at that moment."Do you want to take yo

    Mary Kesley who was standing behind William Mackenzie with Vincent who was also watching the monitor could certainly see how agitated the general was. However, they remained silent, not responding.Suddenly William got up from the chair, "Vincent, we're going home."Mary's eyes widened, "General?"William sighed and smiled faintly at the beautiful girl who looked shocked. "James is not like Jody, Mary."He paused for a moment before continuing, "And Riley ... he must have known what he was doing, along with the risks. I'm sure he's thought things through and I think he can handle himself.""But, General. Isn't their closeness very dangerous?" Mary asked, who still looked confused.William shook his head, "That's true, but what I saw earlier was enough to show that ... those two kids are becoming friends. That's different from Jody and me in the past."Vincent, William's personal bodyguard was just as confused as Mary. Until then he who was worried about his young master also said, "Sir

    William, feeling he had no choice, finally said, "Your Royal Highness, I apologize in advance.""You must have been very surprised to see me. I ... entered the palace only to see the condition of my son, who was participating in the selection process for future soldiers," William continued.Rowena frowned but still said nothing."The palace does not allow prospective soldiers to contact their families. You must also know that their cell phones are confiscated. But, Your Highness ... as a father, I am very concerned about my son's condition, I want to see him, if only for a moment, to make sure he is okay," William explained at length.Rowena looked at the middle-aged man and took in his appearance.His appearance is clean and not suspicious. He looks like a pretty noble guy. Oh, maybe he's a businessman. Rowena Wellington thought."Then how did you get into the palace? Security is very tight and this area ... not many people know about it. Who told you? Were palace staff involved?" Row

    "That’s impossible," Ben said in a firm tone.Reiner also responded, "They couldn't have killed Riley."Ben added, "If they killed Riley, I'm sure they'd have announced it. Or ... at least they would have done something like confuse us with Riley's whereabouts."Seeing James looking frustrated, Reiner said again, "He must be alive. It's just that we haven't found him yet.""That’s right. He was probably transferred to their secret place," Ben said.James' face relaxed more than before when he heard the two friends' soothing words. He was a little more relieved.James then nodded his head, "Then we should find out more.""Yes, we will. Don't worry!" Reiner said.Ben said with a confident tone, "We will definitely find Riley, James."James chose to believe and returned to search more thoroughly. Unfortunately, although the soldiers of Ans De Lou Kingdom had interrogated the prisoners of Mecco Kingdom, they still could not find a single clue regarding Riley's whereabouts.In addition, K

    Reiner frowned, "That's impossible. Is he lying?"James shook his head firmly, "No way.""How can you believe her so easily?" Reiner asked while still inspecting the area.James sighed softly, "I have never met an Ans De Lou soldier who dared to lie to me."Reiner instantly turned his head and looked at his friend without blinking.Two seconds later he nodded in agreement, "Oh, you're right. How could anyone dare to deal with you?"James waved his hand.He looked up and widened his eyes once he got something. He quickly asked Reiner to come closer to him."What's up there?" Reiner asked as James looked up.However, James did not answer Reiner's question and instead stood on tiptoe and picked up a small object attached to the wall."What is it?" Reiner asked with a curious expression.James examined the object and immediately cursed, "BASTARD!"Reiner was wide-eyed in shock. James' swearing really sounded full of emotion and his tone of voice was almost like someone who was shouting.

    James sighed softly, it was clear that the soldier knew nothing about the latest situation outside."Yes, I'm back. I wasn't captured by them," James explained as he helped the soldier to lean against the wall.James glanced at his friend who looked very weak, but didn't dare to touch him as his wounds looked much worse.James examined the soldier's wound whose shirt had been torn off briefly and knew immediately that the soldier must have been severely tortured.He gritted his teeth, trying to contain his anger."Then ... did we win, Deputy War General?" the class two soldier asked with a hopeful look in his eyes.James nodded, "Yes, we won.""R-really, Vice General of War? We won? I'm not dreaming, am I?" the soldier asked with tears on the verge of falling.James looked at the soldier with a sad gaze.The torture he received must have frustrated the soldier for his emotions to become so unstable."You're

    Xylan immediately realized that his father wouldn't just let him go.He knew that Keannu Wellington wasn't in the best of shape, but his father was still thinking things through carefully.Therefore, Xylan who had never lied and would never want to lie, especially to his father replied, "Yes, Father. He is not a palace staff who has been in the palace for a long time. In fact, he doesn't even have any relationships with other palace officials."Keannu instantly fell silent.Xylan quickly composed words and continued, "But ... I can guarantee that he will do his duty well. You will see that my choice will not be wrong."Keannu let out a long breath.Xylan was beginning to worry.And after a long silence, Keannu finally looked back at his son and said, "Alright."Keannu's one-word statement confused Xylan so he asked again, "Alroght? What do you mean, Father?"Keannu smiled gently, "You can choose him."

    Xylan could only remain silent without being able to say a word.Keannu sighed softly. He looked at his son who was still so shocked.The old man said hoarsely, "I know you're not ready yet, but ... I believe you're capable of leading this country."Xylan lifted his head and looked at his father's pale face that looked so very weak.Xyan instantly wanted to curse himself. How could he think so weakly? He may be young, but he was not ignorant. Over the years he had learned various things, including about the government system. His father had also taught him about many things to prepare him as his successor.Then, after all that had happened, how could he be hesitant like that?Moreover, his father's condition no longer allowed him to rule the country. Keannu Wellington was no longer young. He had experienced a great deal of health problems.Keannu's time as a king was up.

    James didn't have to wait long to connect with Josh Cleve.Once connected, before James could speak, he heard Josh say, "I've got it, General Gardner."James didn't have time to reply, but Josh was already speaking quickly, "Thank you, General Gardner. This is all because of you.""If it wasn't for your strategy, I wouldn't have been able to conquer the sea area," Josh continued, sounding like someone who was holding back tears.He didn't even dare to look directly through the screen at James.James smiled at Josh and chuckled, "Gosh, are you going to cry?"Josh snorted but everyone could see that Josh was really very moved. All the soldiers of Ans De Lou Kingdom had known all the efforts that Josh Cleve had made to improve his sea warrior skills. However, he had not been successful.However, after James Gardner became his leader, he was able to bring victory to the Ans De Lou Kingdom.With so much gratitude Josh said again, "It's all thanks to you, General."James instantly shook hi

    A class two soldier of James' age replied, "Maybe he was practicing during his long break."Ben shook his head, "I'm not sure.""You mean, Senior Ben?" Jason Hoult asked with a facial expression full of confusion.Ben smiled faintly.Without turning his head towards Jason, the man who had long been a first-class soldier replied, "There's no time for that. He's very busy managing his business.""What business, Senior Ben?" Jason asked back, looking both surprised and curious. Ben almost tapped his forehead from talking too much."Uh, what are we doing? Isn't it time to help him? Come on, Jason. Get back to your position!" Ben ordered.Jason was forced to move away from the area in disappointment. Uh, he was really very curious about the story of James Gardner.He used to feud with the young man who always had a cold impression, but he could finally understand James' attitude.James always had an annoying expression on his face, but the young man wasn't actually an annoying man.

    Kurt Zys smiled mockingly, "Thank you?"He then spat to the side and said again, "Are you dreaming? Do you think that by capturing us, you think your army will win over our army?"Kurt laughed dismissively. "In case you forgot ... I'll remind you, we ... have an important person from your kingdom.""That's right, your war general is in our hands. What can you do with your new war general? What can he do?" a soldier sitting beside Kurt said in an annoying tone.Kurt flashed his mocking smile again to irritate Justin.Justin raised his right eyebrow and immediately realized that there was no way he could get what he wanted from the enemy soldiers. The young man sighed softly. He felt that talking to the enemy soldiers was pointless so he simply replied, "Well, since you can only belittle us, it would be much better if we didn't hear your voice."Kurt frowned, looking somewhat confused.However, it wasn't long before he heard Justin command, "Shut them all up!

It looks like General Gardner is confused.""What? Why is he confused? Does that mean he's going to ... retreat?"A class two soldier who heard those words instantly turned to the class three soldier as he raised his visor, "What did you just say, huh? You think General Gardner is a coward?""No-no ... so, Senior. But ... why didn't he act immediately? We're already in enemy territory," the soldier replied, who initially seemed to doubt his general stammeringly.The class two soldier who defended James replied, "Perhaps General Gardner is adjusting himself.
