154. Isn't That Strange?
Last Updated:
2024-07-08 10:00:04Alen immediately turned to James, as well as Riley who was staring at him with an incomprehensible look.
At first James was a bit confused by the stares of his two friends. However, he suddenly realized something, "Hey, my father was a traitor. I know about it, but ... he didn't betray this kingdom."
He took off his protective helmet and quickly rubbed his nose. That little activity was a sign that he was becoming nervous and agitated.
Realizing that, Riley immediately put his arm around James and said, "We know. Your father is not a traitor like we think he is. Calm down!"
Alen also responded, "Riley is right. You ... don't have to feel weird anymore. I'm sorry, I may have misunderstood you earlier. However, I really didn't mean to make you think of your father."
The situation became awkward. The unusual conversation made them misbehave themselves.
However, it didn't last long. When Ben and Shin moved to their places, the atmosphere became

James was silent, suddenly looking thoughtful.Alen also frowned as he looked at Riley as if asking for further explanation.Seeing an opportunity come to him, Riley emphasized again, "So, the main headquarters should be more thorough and careful. There is no disadvantage in following this procedure. It will benefit many parties, especially our kingdom.""With this test or examination, we can also find out who chose to resign or is no longer able to continue playing a role," Riley explained further.James really couldn't argue with Riley's words. He could only grumble, "But ... this is taking too long."Ben and Shin were stunned to see that Riley was able to make the two juniors finally come to their senses."Be patient!" Ben said quickly, helping Riley."Is your wound getting worse? Do you want me to check it, James?" Alen offered as he now seemed to be on Riley's side completely.Shin also said in a worried tone, "If your wound gets worse, I'll ask-""No, I'm fine," James cut in imp

Seeing the strange expressions of his two junior soldiers, Shin added, "Life as a palace soldier is not easy."A sigh was heard from the soldier who used to be a medical staff. The palace regulations did allow every soldier who finished their training period to get married. There are no regulations that prohibit them from living a normal life like the rest of society.However, in their first year of marriage, they were forbidden to bring their wives to live in the palace. The soldiers' wives could only enter and live in the palace in the second year of their marriage. But, they were not able to stay without permission. They had to undergo tests and examinations until they were cleared. However, once they were granted permission, they would be given the freedom to live in the palace with their husbands indefinitely and have the right to use the palace facilities provided by the kingdom. "General Reece is not married. Why should I?" Shin explained as he saw the shock on the faces of

James was even more inflamed when he heard these words full of sarcasm. He immediately detached himself from Riley and said, "You're class one soldiers, but why don't you use your brains to think?"The staff glared angrily, "Young man, watch your language!""Why should I?" James retorted as he was now free of Riley, "You don't watch your mouth when you speak.""James," Riley called.James turned his head, "Why? Do you want me to stay silent when we're even accused of being a treasonous force? I ... can't let them do that."The soldiers of the class one laughed condescendingly. "You're ... hm, James Gardner. Gardner.""Did you hear his last name that I just said?" the red-haired soldier continued.A staffer with a pistol in hand frowned, "Uh, so you're the one ... the traitor's son?""You're-"James' face turned red due to the anger that had overcome him. Riley clenched his fists, barely able to control himself anymore.Meanwhile, Ben and Shin also looked just as angry as Riley or Jame

Seeing James remain silent, Reynhard grinned once more, displaying his canines as if he was ready to tear James apart.The man felt that he had succeeded in scaring James so he confidently said, "Oh, good that you're scared now. You should know better, Gardner.""Don't think you're safe, just because you're friends with a future king's son-in-law!" Reynhard said, seemingly having the upper hand.The still silent James finally raised his face, looking into Reynhard's eyes with a flat expression.However, the young man still said nothing until Reynhard finally chose to speak again, "I ... may not dare to face Wood, but you ... a traitorous son of a bitch like you I can easily conquer."The man who was one of class one soldiers was about to smile, but he didn't because he suddenly heard James laughing out loud. In fact, his laughter was so crisp that the bewildered Reynhardt looked at him with a gaze full of astonishment and confusion, "What are you laughing at?" James stopped his laug

Riley didn't answer and that made Reynhard feel victorious. He haughtily added, "Wow! How pathetic! I guess you won't be able to do anything without-""If that's what you think, then I wouldn't blame you," Riley cut in quickly, making several senior soldiers immediately sneer at him.Reynhard smiled dismissively, "Oh, so you admit it." "Of course, why would I deny it? It's the truth," Riley retorted, making Reynhard's friends look down on the young man.Reynhard laughed sarcastically, "Uh, I see. You are really disgusting, Wood. "You pathetic soldier! Using your position to get special treatment." A friend of Reynhard's said while staring with a mocking expression.Some people laughed mockingly, but Riley didn't seem to care too much.However, after letting the people have their fill of laughing at him, the almost-twenty-two-year-old said, "Indeed, being a future king's son-in-law is quite an advantage for me after all."The people fell silent again, watching Riley intently.Riley t

Alen immediately shook his head, replying stammeringly, "N-nothing, General Reece."Andrew Reece looked suspicious, but the war general chose not to discuss it too much. He simply said, "Well, then please rest. Tonight you must listen to further war instructions from your seniors."James frowned in surprise, but Riley first commented, "Will the war strategy be conveyed by the seniors to ... us as juniors, General?"Andrew turned to Riley and smiled gently, "Yes. In thirty minutes, I will call the commanders along with some seniors to discuss the matter. Afterward, the seniors will call their colleagues and you as their juniors to explain what I have to say."Listening to the explanation, James suddenly became somber. While Alen let out a long sigh, realizing that their situation was not good.Meanwhile, Riley seemed to be as calm as ever and even replied, "Yes, General.""Alright, relax first!" Andrew told them.Before exiting the tent, Andrew walked towards Riley. James and Alen sta

Riley was speechless, completely unable to refute James' words.The young man then let out a long breath.James sighed seeing Riley's soft gaze towards him, "Hey, listen. I know that my father did wrong, but ... that doesn't mean that people have the right to say that he's the worst general. Right? After all, he has protected this kingdom. He also risked his life.""I ... just hope that people not only see my father's faults, but also see what he had done. Is ... is my wish too much, Wood?" James continued with a desperate tone in his voice.Riley was saddened by James' small wish that so many people had never considered. But he still tried to respond by saying, "No. Your father deserves an honor. I understand."James froze in his seat but he did not give any reaction.Riley continued to say carefully, "But you also have to understand that not everyone thinks the same way, James.""I know that," James replied without turning to Riley.Not wanting to make the atmosphere uncomfortable,

“Didn't I hear wrong?” a class two soldier commented in a surprised tone.While another also said, “How can an aspiring soldier get a chance to fight with the War General?”“You're right. Previously, none of the prospective soldiers could participate in the real battlefield, but now they can. Then what is this again? Joining the main army? It's unbelievable,” a class one soldier asked. He looked unhappy with the division of the soldiers. He even rolled his eyes when some soldiers praised James.James heard all the ramblings and still couldn't believe it himself. He then asked, “Are you sure you didn't misread, senior? It is impossible I am placed into-”“You think my eyesight is so bad that I can't read properly, Gardner?” the staff said in an offended tone.James was even more confused but he could not ask more. He knew from the staff's expression that he did not want to talk to him more.Riley saw that the situation might get out of hand due to that decision so he quickly said, “N

Ben immediately grimaced. Meanwhile, Alen and Shin laughed crisply together. Then, Diego pretended to look up.However, Reiner boldly replied, "It's not about feeling sorry for you. I ... just think Riley is too much."James clucked his tongue and took the empty seat next to Diego who immediately turned to him with the same look."That's his right," James replied, sounding casual."Rights? What right do you mean, the right to put his best friend in trouble?" Reiner replied cluelessly.James shrugged, "I've been causing him trouble for the past few years as well."Shin widened his eyes, "Hey, what are you talking about? What trouble? He-""I left this palace and let Riley handle all the problems in this kingdom by herself. I mean ... I know you guys have always been there for him and so many great warriors have helped him, but ... yeah it's still hard for him," James explained after cutting off Shin's words that he hadn't finished yet.

Reiner frowned when he saw James' expression which he found very strange. Moreover, he also saw how James' lips suddenly formed a smile."What's wrong with you?" Reiner finally chose to ask.James once again smiled at Reiner, making Reiner wink.Reiner also got goosebumps instantly. "What's wrong with you? Don't tell me you're going crazy, James!"A sigh was immediately heard from James. He snorted in exasperation, "Damn it! I still have hopes of meeting Riley, even if it's not now. Why should I go crazy?"Hearing that, Reiner let out a sigh of relief. Because, James' nagging was one of the ways that showed that his good friend was really just fine. "Then, why are you being like that? Smiling horribly. Very strange, just so you know! Not like your usual self," Reiner explained, who still looked a bit horrified.James grinned again, revealing his row of clean teeth. He then said, "Oh, it's about Gary Davis. You ... just made me realize something, Rei.""Realized? About what?" Reiner a

Instead of answering James Gardner's question, Xylan Wellington said, "I ... I know what you're trying to say, General Gardner."Great, so what's the answer? Reiner thought, starting to feel lazy.James raised an eyebrow, "Yes, Your Majesty?"Xylan sighed softly, then closed his eyes for a few seconds. After regaining control of himself he replied, "It was my negligence, General Gardner.""Negligence? About what, Your Majesty?" James asked, sounding like he wanted a clearer answer."My sister. I ... know she has done wrong," Xylan said quietly.The viceroy bowed his head for a few seconds, while James remained silent, waiting for him to speak again.And without James pressing him, Xylan said, "I've actually noticed something strange about her. This ... even, before you set out to find my brother-in-law again, General Gardner."James' eyes widened instantly, but he still refrained from commenting.Xylan cleared his throat softly before continuing, "But ... even when I felt something wa
The Strongest God of War 90. James' Accusation
Hearing the new war general's question, Xylan Wellington laughed awkwardly.It was a laugh that didn't really come off, in fact, it sounded so strange that it made anyone who heard the viceroy's laughter confused.Reiner also looked at Xylan with a strange gaze while James did not even blink. The look in his eyes showed a demand.A demand for an explanation from Xylan regarding what he had just said.When he saw that urgent questioning look, Xylan finally stopped laughing. He cleared his throat softly before saying, "Hm ... I know from the main soldier.""The main soldier?" James repeated as he frowned.Xylan gulped and smiled clumsily, "The king's court soldiers, General Gardner."Oh, that wasn't really what James meant. He knew without even asking that the main soldiers were the palace soldiers specifically assigned to escort and guard him.There were usually five of them and one of them was required to stay by his side
The Strongest God of War 89. He Already Knows?
James Gardner remained silent, giving no clear answer to Reiner's question.An immediate anxiety struck the ground war commander. Not wanting to be ignored by James, Reiner asked again, "James, tell me. Are you going to stay in the palace? You're not going to leave, right?"He looked anxiously at James who was staring out the car window. However, after he waited patiently enough he finally heard James answer, "I don't know."Reiner's heart was like being hit by a rock instantly."So ... are you leaving?" the man asked in a tone that sounded disappointed."It depends."Reiner, who was still staring at James, raised an eyebrow, looking confused, "Depends on what?"James sighed softly, "It depends on King Xylan's answer."Reiner was getting more and more confused. However, he did not have time to ask further as the car they were in had already entered the main gate of the Ans De Lou Royal palace. Even so, Reiner still did not want to give up so easily so he continued to stick to James e
The Strongest God of War 88. It Won't Catch up, James!
At first Michelle Veren didn't understand what James Gardner was asking. However, when she saw the look on the general's face, she immediately knew he meant the time of the departure of the three people they were looking for.So, the Veren boutique owner replied, "About an hour ago, General Gardner."Hearing that answer, Reiner immediately went limp. But, it was inversely proportional to James who was even full of enthusiasm. This could be seen from James who even said, "Come on, Rei. Let's go after him."Reiner looked sadly at his best friend and replied, "It won't catch up, James. It's been too long."James did not even listen to Reiner's words and ordered some of his men, "Prepare the car, let's go after them!""James," Reiner called softly.James ignored the call and kept saying to his men who were still quietly waiting, "Find out through the CCTV which area they are currently in. They ... should be visible if they take the highway from behind this building."Reiner bit his own
The Strongest God of War 87. Princess Rowena's Plan
Unfortunately it was all too late for the young girl to realize. All the words of the girl named Alice Porter were clearly heard by Reiner Anderson and James Gardner.With a dark look on his face, James said, "Miss, you-""No, no. I just misspoke, I ... I don't know anything. You heard me wrong," Alice said, whose face paled even more. Especially when she saw the aura of James Gardner, the terrifying war general, she found it even harder to breathe.Reiner also could not help himself so he said in an exasperated tone, "Tell me everything you know or you ... will know how terrible it is when you face the two of us.""I don't care if you are a woman. I can still find a punishment that you deserve," Reiner continued coldly.Alice swallowed harshly. Of course the young girl was very confused. Moreover, no one was trying to help her at all. All the employees in the boutique looked so frightened that no one dared to open their mouths."Say it now! We don't have much time, Miss!" James gro
The Strongest God of War 86. Veren Boutique
James' question immediately made Reiner silent for a few moments. He stared at the boutique with a confused look on his face.Meanwhile, James didn't want to waste any more time so he wordlessly walked towards the boutique owned by Michelle Veren, a forty-year-old female designer who was quite famous in the country.Reiner didn't just stand by and do nothing, lamenting his inaccuracy. He followed James with a small trot right behind James without a word.As soon as James was faster than him to reach the door, he immediately saw the two boutique guards who opened the door for them."Can I help you?" one of the boutique guards asked James."I'm looking for Princess Rowena. Where is she now?" James asked back matter-of-factly as he darted his eyes all over the first floor of the boutique.Although there was a suspicion rising in James' mind, the young man put his anxiety ahead of his suspicion."You're looking for Princess Rowena? Who are you? You-""James Gardner. Royal War General Ans

Reiner Anderson did not answer James' question. Instead, he had a facial expression that looked both hesitant and confused.Of course, that made James Gardner even more annoyed. "Come on, tell me quickly! What's so strange about Princess Rowena?" James urged, impatiently.Reiner swallowed and scratched his ears before answering, "Well, I'm not sure if this is strange to you. But ... I think it's very strange, James."James gritted his teeth in growing annoyance and impatience.Luckily, he didn't need to ask anymore as Reiner added, "So, according to reports she went outside the palace."Hearing Reiner's answer, James snorted rudely. "What's so strange about that? I know she often goes outside the palace."Reiner sighed softly, "Indeed. But, this time ... a few hours ago, she left without a bodyguard. And she ... left with their son, Prince Kharel."Instantly James glared in shock, "What? Are you ... sure?""Yes, James. She just-""How is that possible? King Xylan ... didn't forbid he
