Alen sighed in frustration that he had to get involved in the fight.

However, Riley didn't seem to mind that at all and instead hastily replied, “Everything James Gardner said is true, senior.”

“Not only did James attack Senior Alex Hopskin, but he also attacked James,” Riley explained.

The seniors and staff looked at Riley as if they were investigating. One of the staff immediately recognized Riley and said, “You ... aren't you also a war general candidate?”

His friend whispered softly, “He's not just a candidate for war general. He's the king's future son-in-law.”

The staff nodded and looked relaxed. However, one of the seniors clucked his tongue.

He gave Riley a disapproving look, “That doesn't affect us in any way. If what you said was indeed a lie, then we have the right to teach you a lesson.”

Riley wasn't upset at all and simply replied, “I'm telling the truth, senior.”

Alex, who felt his position was being threatened, quickly said, “What the hell? They're both friends of Gardn

    Alex's friends, who had come to defend their friend, turned to Alex, watching his response.Apparently, instead of looking confident, Alex looked hesitant. That expression clearly showed that in that case Alex had lied.One of Alex's friends clucked his tongue and said quietly to Alex, “Damn you, Alex! If you made a mistake, why drag us along?”Alex immediately turned to his friend and replied with a sardonic look, “What do you mean? Didn't you say you wanted to teach that Gardner a lesson?”“Then why are you blaming me now?” Alex added in a tone of voice so low that it could only be heard by his three friends.One of Alex's other friends spoke up, “Alex, did you really attack him?”Alex was taken aback, shocked that his friend seemed to have decided to turn on him.“If you did attack him, then you're just as guilty as he is,” the other friend continued.Alen and James looked at each other, seemingly confused by the actions of Alex's friends.However, Riley was not surprised at all.

    Alen and Diego were happy to see their enthusiasm. The two young men immediately embraced Riley and James.“Calm down guys! It doesn't matter if no one supports you two, there are still us,” Alen said sincerely.Diego also added, “James, Riley. You've got us to be the noisy audience.”Riley smiled happily, while James immediately grumbled, “What the hell are you doing? The palace staff can kick you out of the selection arena if you're loud.”Yet again, Diego took no offense to James' sometimes annoying words.The young man knew how James talked and knew that he wasn't as bad as people thought. He also considered James to be one of his best friends, just like Riley and Alen.After talking incoherently, the four young men set off towards the selection arena building where it turned out that there were already thousands of soldiers present inside the building.Alen stared in amazement at the uncountable number of soldiers as if all the soldiers of Ans De Lou Kingdom had come to witness t

    “Of course he's coming. He couldn't have let the selection go by without him, right? What's more, there's you who ... has been personally selected to come along,” James replied lightly.The young man was honestly happy to see the arrival of the current Ans De Lou Kingdom's war general, but he didn't want to show it too much in front of Riley.Riley glanced at James. Riley's smile instantly expanded at the sight of Andrew, even from a long distance. “He looks healthy, doesn't look like he's had major surgery,” Riley said.James snorted softly, “Oh my goodness, Riley! He's been missing for a few days, I guess he used that time to recuperate.”“It would seem so,” Riley replied, agreeing with James' words.James immediately stopped talking when Mary Kelsey, as usual, started to speak. Oh, somehow he felt he had memorized Mary's voice and strangely he always shut up automatically.The event started after Keannu Wellington gave the signal and Mary began to explain some of the main rules

    A roar of applause erupted inside the training ground that could hold thousands of spectators. The shouts of “Josh Cleve” were so loud that they made James Gardner frown.The young man even wanted to cover his ears altogether because they were starting to hurt. However, before he could raise his ears, the person whose name had been called out by Mary Kesley spoke into his ear in a rather loud voice, “Forgive my supporters! They just want to give me support.”James forced himself to smile and replied silently, “No problem.”Josh flashed a big smile at James and also at Riley who then said, “Good luck, senior. You'll make it.”“Thank you,” Josh replied and then waved at his supporters.This immediately excited the supporters of the senior class one soldier. Shortly afterwards Josh made his way to the arena where he would fire at the twenty targets. James didn't stop staring at the senior, while Riley was more interested in reading the rules on the monitor.Before they heard Josh fir

    James strode back to his place with pride. He also felt as if he had won a big prize game. His smile spread out so wide as he sat to the left of Riley who just shook his head realizing the satisfaction James was feeling over his friend.All the spectators seemed surprised by the shocking result. Many had predicted that Riley Wood would be able to compete with Josh Cleve, but they never expected that James Gardner would also be able to display his greatest abilities that were not inferior to Josh. Even though almost all the soldiers of Ans De Lou Kingdom supported Josh Cleve, the results of the first session were very unsatisfactory for them.However, it wouldn't be James if he didn't show off his abilities so he proudly called the person sitting to Riley's right, “Senior Cleve.”Josh Cleve looked too shocked, but still tried to smile slightly, “Yes?”“Aren't you going to congratulate me?” James asked in a casual tone.Riley exhaled harshly, starting to feel like his friend was goin

    Riley was silent for an instant.He never thought James would ask for such a thing. To him, James was a soldier who would do anything the right way. But, what would make that young man think such a thing?Was it because he wanted to become a war general? Is it to shut people up and stop making fun of him for being born the son of Jody Gardner? Riley thought confusedly.However, if he did ask for that, Riley did not mind at all. He was even willing to step down on the spot to allow James to achieve his goal. Perhaps, by doing so, he could get rid of his guilt towards James.However, he suddenly heard James speak, “Oh my! Why did your face suddenly become like that, Riley?”Riley blinked her eyes, still looking somewhat confused.James observed the expression on Riley's face and instantly said, “Oh, Riley! Do you believe what I just told you?”James laughed crisply, “Don't tell me you actually thought about all those words!”The young man shook his head, looking very happy when he saw

    As it turned out, contrary to what James expected, Josh casually replied, “What makes you think that I want to talk to you?”James shrugged, “I saw you looking at me constantly.”Diego snorted and gave James a look that said 'You're too confident'.James and Josh's conversation managed to get Riley's attention. He began to worry that something might go wrong there.However, just like James, Riley also apparently guessed wrong. Josh laughed so hard that many people looked shocked, including Ben and Shin who could only look at each other, without being able to express what they were thinking.Some of Josh's friends were also surprised by Josh's reaction, but the man who was over thirty years old said, “I'm just too amazed and very surprised by your ability. Oh, not only your skills, but Riley's as well.”James was stunned.Josh explained, “I think they … I mean my friends have been exaggerating about you and Riley.”He shrugged, “I thought, how could a newly inducted soldier have such

    "There is no specific strategy. Me or James will just do what we've learned," Riley said.Ben frowned, looking somewhat confused.He knew Riley was very good at shooting. However, he still didn't know Riley's ability in archery. As for James, Ben had already seen James' action in archery when the young man was still a prospective soldier.Shin responded, "You better not underestimate him!"James shook his head firmly, "I never underestimated him at all, Senior Shin. In fact, he was the one who always underestimated us. And ... but those words spoken earlier surprised me."Alen nodded, "I still don't like him, I don't know why. It's just that I feel like he's a little weird."Ben sighed softly, "Well, there's no need to think about Josh's attitude. All you need to think about is giving your best in the next selection.""Of course, we'll do that," James said confidently as he embraced Riley who had gotten used to James' behavior.The next day, on the second day of the challenge, the th

    Xylan Wellington did not immediately answer Ronald Wings' question. The viceroy looked thoughtful with furrowed brows."I ... can't confirm that yet," Xylan said, sounding hesitant.Ronald bit his lower lip. Uh, his words were actually the same as accusing one of the servants of betraying the king. Because, only the servant who was around at the time of his conversation with the king. However, all of the king's servants who were close to them at that time were women. Ronald felt that he had spoken wrongly.But, just as he was about to open his mouth to correct his words, Xylan said, "I will do something to check."Ronald widened his eyes, looking shocked. "Your Majesty, I beg your forgiveness. What I said earlier-""What you said could have happened. Well, I think I have to consider many things. So, it's not a big deal if I have to check on the maids," Xylan cut off Ronald's words.The twenty-seven-year-old soldier blinked, looking surprised that Xylan could read what he was thinkin

    James shook his head, "I can't say right now."Reiner immediately let out a disappointed sigh. "You are ... making us curious.""Right, why can't you say it now?" Ben asked with a curious expression."Can't you give us just a little ... bright spot?" Shin tried to persuade hopefully.James chuckled softly, "Sorry, I really can't tell you guys right now, but ... I'm sure it won't be long before we know everything."Diego gave him an unsure look, "Will it be us or will it be you?"James flashed a bright smile, "Of course we all will.""I don't believe it," Alen said quickly.The war general blinked repeatedly and looked at each of his good friends with a puzzled look.He then pointed at himself with his right index finger and said, "You think I'm lying? Since when did I lie or break my promise?"Ben frowned and looked thoughtful. He looked up as if he was considering something.An exasperated James said, "Damn it! Do you have to think just to answer a simple question?"Diego held back a

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
