"Yes, only three." "He didn't miscount, did he?" George was still hopeful that what Bryan said was wrong. Bryan replied, "If he had miscounted, he would have been hanged by King Keannu." Uh, that's right. A royal bodyguard could not have been chosen so easily. A series of tests must have been passed, it was unlikely that the bodyguard would make a mistake in arithmetic. George was forced to ask again, "So, where is the other one?" "My colleague in charge of guarding the place said that Andrew Reece received orders from General Mackenzie to give it to a man named ... wait a minute, I'll ask again. I forgot his name," Bryan replied. Christopher's aura had darkened like a crow clawing at its prey. George, on the other hand, was so agitated that he gripped his mobile phone tighter. He was very anxious, not wanting what was happening to go against his wishes. In the part of the hall where the guests were standing, Cassandra was holding her breath not yet relieved, but Emma was alrea
"Do I need to tell you about this, Gardner?" Keannu asked. Obviously, this was very bad. Keannu Wellington was known to have a high level of decorum and would never offend anyone with his mouth. Jody Gardner realized that the king didn't like him enough to call him by his last name without his title. Not wanting to make things even more unpleasant, Jody hurriedly said, "No, Your Majesty. You don't need to ... tell me. This is your business with General Mackenzie." The corners of Keannu's lips lifted slightly, seemingly pleased with his quick-to-respond general. "Good, if you understand," Keannu said. "So, is there anything else you would like to ask?" Keannu continued. "Nothing, Your Majesty," Jody replied and he quickly retreated from the king's private palace. He was holding back his anger and did not speak a word as he walked. The general hurriedly went outside with Steven faithfully walking right behind him. When they reached the middle of the road, Jody Garder suddenly
"Uh, that ... never mind, I'm just in a daze," Steven replied hastily. He had just realised that he was talking too much. After all, he was General Gardner's direct subordinate, he shouldn't be discussing the matter with others. He could be accused of spreading the general's secrets. Gosh, what had he just done? He had been a subordinate of the war general for two years and had never made a single mistake. So, why did he make a mistake now? Really, Steven wanted to sew his own mouth shut so that he wouldn't spill the beans about his general anymore. Even if it was just a little bit. "Uh, but you said General Gardner just did something. What was it? Did he make-" "No, no. I misspoke. Alright, I'll go first. I have some work to do," Steven excused himself quickly. Wallace looked suspicious, but he chose not to think about it and went back to patrolling. As for Steven, after taking care of the general's sudden leave, he rushed to the dining hall. There, many soldiers were already
"No, it's not. It's already yours," Bill said. Peter smiled happily, "Then I'll just stay in my room." "Peter!" Shirley glared in annoyance, but her husband didn't even glance at her. Instead, he went upstairs and into his room. Shirley's anger mounting, she pushed Bill's body with full force. But Bill was a strong man with a sturdy body so the push didn't move him an inch. The failing Shirley became even more furious. "This is all because of you! I hate you!" the beautiful woman said before running upstairs to catch up with her husband. Christopher sighed wearily, "If their marriage is ruined by your little gift, don't expect me to let you breathe easy, Bill." "Actually, it's not a small gift, Gramps." Of course it was. That gold disc was a symbol of his victory. He didn't just give it to anyone. At first, Andrew Reece looked so shocked when Bill intended to give it to him. However, he ignored him. This was also done by Bill after he found out that Peter Green was a big fan
Bill didn't answer and just sat quietly. "Are you mute? Can't answer?" Bill just leered and still didn't want to answer. The subordinate groaned in exasperation. "How arrogant! Take this!" He then intended to hit Bill on the head. However, Bill swiftly dodged and hit him with both of his bound hands. The man jumped in surprise at Bill's attack and was about to retaliate but again he was kicked by Bill. The man was only with a driver so it was easy for Bill to deal with them. However, Bill thought it wouldn't be fun if he just ran away. He wanted to know the extent of Jody Gardner's actions and the reasons behind the inappropriate behaviour of the man who replaced him. "Do you want to die?" the driver asked without turning his head. Bill, whose mouth was still shut, used his bound hands to choke the driver from behind. "Damn. How dare you!" The friend couldn't help the driver as his chest had just received a good kick from Bill. "Let go of me!" the driver ordered. Not wanti
Jake laughed as soon as he heard Charlie's words. "Why are you laughing? What's so funny?" Charlie replied, annoyed at being laughed at. Jake raised his hands, as if apologizing. "Sorry, I can't stand it." Charlie snorted loudly. "Why can't you stand it?" "Come on, Charlie. Did you forget or something?" Charlie just rolled his eyes lazily. "General Mackenzie resigned on his own. I mean, no one dismissed him. So, if he just resigned voluntarily, how could he come back and take the position of War General?" Jake said. The man shook his head slowly, looking at Charlie with a sneering gaze. Charlie, on the other hand, didn't want his argument to be broken. He replied immediately, "Well, that's exactly it, because General Mackenzie resigned on his own so couldn't he just come back and ask for his position first?" "What are you saying? Do you think the post of War General can be easily transferred or requested?" Jake retorted not to be outdone. "It's true. General Gardner was ap
"No problem. They'll just take me back to that warehouse and hang me," Bill said. Andrew gaped, "You're hanging, General?" Bill laughed strangely, finding what the new war general was doing ridiculous. "Yes, I was." Andrew Reece was naturally confused, not knowing where the ridiculousness of William Mackenzie's laughter lay. He could only wait for an explanation from his general. "Jody Gardner is completely inexperienced when it comes to kidnapping, Reece." "What do you mean?" Andrew asked incredulously. "He threatened me, wanted to find out about my relationship with William Mackenzie but his methods were hm ... totally unprofessional." "You were threatened?" Andrew said in shock. Bill replied, "Hm. He hanged me, wanted to cut out my tongue and all that." "What? He dared to do that to you? How insolent of him! He's-" "Reece, Reece. Remember, he doesn't know who I am," Bill cut in quickly. Andrew Reece retorted, "But, still, this is outrageous. After all, you as Bill Stewar
Without waiting for Jody to reply, Bill bowed again, "I'll take my leave, General Gardner." The man standing right in front of Bill instantly clenched his fists, held back his annoyance and then finally left the palace hall with anger still lumped in his chest. Strange. In all his life, he had never been this upset before. But, what that War Advisor did actually made him easily upset. Jody walked quickly towards the training building. Steven who followed right behind was already starting to worry if the general would go on another rampage there. He hoped that there weren't many guards there so that they wouldn't become the target of Jody Gardner's anger. But, fortunately, Jody's anger faded a little when he saw Dorothy Winks, one of the palace staff who was Jody's lover, inside the training building, checking the equipment of their tools that had become her duty. Steven was really relieved and immediately considered Dorothy as a saviour goddess who had saved everyone from Jody
