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
"So, what should I do now, General?" Steven asked after seeing the general's laughter stop. Jody Gardner calmly said, "Leave it alone for now, Stev." "You mean we don't need to investigate Bill Stewart anymore, General?" Steven was astonished by Jody's sudden change of attitude. For Jody Gardner's trusted subordinate, the man in front of him had changed his plans too quickly. "Yes. Leave it for the time being. Don't do anything." "But, General. What if he-" "Calm down, the longer you watch him, the more careful he'll be. So, it's better to just wait for him to let his guard down," Jody said quickly. Steven was silent, trying to understand the general's decision. After thinking more deeply, he finally concluded, "You intend to make Bill Stewart reveal his own secret?" Jody smiled broadly, seemingly satisfied that Steven knew what he was thinking. "That's my man." Steven smiled back, "Do you still suspect that Bill Stewart has a deal with General Mackenzie?" Jody's smile disa
Bill then got ready to shoot at another target. So perfectly did he manage to hit the heart of the mannequin that Bryan gasped when he saw the impossible result. But he tried to compose himself and fire again. As expected, he lost to Bill again. "Second question. Who did you meet when you were outside the palace?" Bill asked casually. This time Bryan began to understand the reason why Bill was asking one question after another. With fear beginning to choke his neck, Bryan answered, "George Wood, War Advisor." Bill then smiled with satisfaction at the honest answer and went back to shooting at the mannequin again. Bryan couldn't contain his fear any longer. He didn't even dare to lift his gun to shoot at the mannequin. Until Bill had to say quietly, "Your turn, Bryan." But Bryan still didn't move and Bill was forced to help him by holding his shoulder and slowly lifting Bryan's gun. "Fire now!" Bill said in a commanding tone that was so horrifying it sounded in Bryan's ears. Th
