The guard jumped in surprise, so much so that he had to take a few steps back. "I don't know, sir," the guard said, starting to look scared. "Move aside!" Bill said. "Sorry, Mr. Bill. You can't come in, Mr. Christopher forbids you-" Unable to wait any longer, Bill burst into the mansion. The guard wanted to stop him, but he didn't dare after seeing the horrified look on Bill's face. Simultaneously, Bill saw the person he was looking for. A grin appeared on Bill's face. For a moment, Arthur looked like he was going to turn around and run away from Bill. But, in fact, he couldn't move his long legs an inch from where he was. His legs felt so heavy, even though his brain had recognized the danger and ordered him to leave immediately. Bill. This grandson-in-law of the Wood family was not at all like before. The man who was much bigger than him now had a different aura that was so frightening. The sweep of his gaze even sent chills down his spine. He looked like a ruthless killer
"Me? Bill Stewart, husband of your granddaughter-in-law, Cassandra Wood, Grandpa. Have you forgotten that?" Bill replied. Christopher gave him an exasperated look. He was like to kill Bill after hearing what Bill said. To him, it was such kind of a joke. "Get out of here and don't ever come back!" Christopher snapped. Bill sighed, "This is the last time I'm holding back, Gramps. Next time, I won't care anymore. I'll face everyone, including Grandpa!" Bill never played with his words. He would do it. The expletive flew out of Christopher Wood's mouth so smoothly, while Bill left the house with wide strides. He turned around briefly before driving back to the hospital where his wife was being treated. As he parked his car at the hospital, he was somewhat surprised to see several people dressed in black with the royal lily emblem on the front pockets of their suits. The lily flower was the symbol of the Ans De Lou Kingdom. As if he was getting a warning, Bill immediately ran towar
A few years ago, the year in which the young Jody Gardner had just earned the trust of joining the main force, he was completely shocked by the unusual sight that was presented in front of his two sea-blue eyes just before he attended an official meeting with one of the ministers at the palace. At that time, the new unit was training outside the palace due to its inadequate buildings and facilities. In his full suit, he saw the war machine crouching near the grass and bushes. A young William Mackenzie was trying to free a cat entangled in a rope by the roadside. Afterwards, he picked up the grey stray cat. "It's bleeding, General," Jody said with a disgusted look. He was a soldier who had seen people killed before his eyes on the battlefield and he never minded that. But if the blood was not from the battlefield, he hated it. The handsome and alluring general calmly replied, "He is injured." Jody looked at the cat's paw and winced in displeasure. He looked the other way. "Why a
Steven did not understand the strange words spoken by his general, so he chose to remain silent, not wanting to make any unnecessary mistakes. "Stev, from now on you'll have to keep a closer eye on the War Advisor." "Yes, General." Jody grinned and said again, "How long will it take you to get him out of here?" "Gen-general," Steven stammered, actually knowing what Jody meant but he was just surprised. Jody turned around, "Come on, didn't you say you'd help me get him out of here, Stev?" "Uh, that problem ... I ... might take a while, General." Jody groaned in displeasure, "Why long? Is it difficult?" "General, King Keannu must be the one to expel him himself. And for that, it means we have to convince King Keannu that Bill Stewart doesn't belong here." "I know that. So?" Jody replied lazily. "Bill Stewart will have to make mistakes that will anger King Keannu so one or two won't be enough. We need more, General." Steven's explanation made Jody smile, "Oh, I see. So, you're
That morning was the start of Bill being aware of Jody Gardner's every move. At first, he just thought he was scared of him taking his position. But, this soon developed because it seemed that the man was suspicious of him and wanted to destroy him slowly. By approaching the king, who was quite close to him, he was convinced that Jody would use the king to put him in a tight spot. However, he was not someone who easily gave up or accepts defeat. He was a god of war who possessed the highest power the kingdom had ever seen. He certainly did not want to be defeated by anyone, his pride would not allow that to happen. He had been trained to face enemies with various characters. No one could destroy him and no one succeeded in deceiving him. Facing someone like his former subordinate was certainly easy enough for him. He then flashed a sincere smile as he looked at Jody Gardner. "Oh, of course, Your Honour." Bill said as he turned around and said again, "Thank you, General." Jo
"Why are you looking at her like that, Dorothy?" Jody Gardner asked as he was suddenly behind her. Dorothy turned round and faced her lover, "Just wondering. By the way, I haven't had a chance to congratulate you on your victory yet." Jody Gardner smiled even though his mind was filled with suspicion. He had clearly seen the way his lover stared in confusion at the War Advisor. "It's good to have you back here. Is everything sorted out?" Jody asked. Dorothy nodded, "Of course. But, it's getting more and more tiring by the day. Do you think I should just quit working at the palace?" "What? Quit?" "Yes. I'm so tired of doing all this routine. But, how ... life also requires money so I think I should refrain more from staying here until I have enough money," Dorothy said. Jody Gardner said, "Wait a minute. Why are you bothering to think about the economy? There's me, Dorothy." "You do. Of course, but how could I bother you all the time?" Dorothy said so honestly. "You never trou
"You ... ask too many questions, Reece!" Bill said as he seemed to no longer want to discuss the matter. Andrew Reece no longer wanted to ask questions and chose to try to forget about the matter and talk about other matters. "General, what about the war in two weeks at Mondega?" Andrew asked when he was now distracted. Bill was really happy to have such an understanding subordinate like Andrew Reece. He then tried to recall the name that his loyal subordinate had mentioned. "Mondega?" Bill repeated. "Yes, General. A kingdom located in the north, close to the border of the Cruela Kingdom." Bill was still thinking and digging into his memory. Then, as if remembering something, he said, "Uh, the kingdom that has the largest export of armaments?" "That's right, General. The Mondega Kingdom used to be one of the centres for making our weapons in the days before you became a war general here." "Why should we go to war against them? Isn't it the case that even though they no longer s
Mary, seeing the anxiety in the young madam's eyes, said, "Madam, I apologize if I seem to be interfering, but let me give you an opinion." Cassandra turned to the nun who didn't seem too much older than herself, "Yes? Tell me!" "Madam, as far as I can see Mr. Bill is not someone who seems to be working in an illicit field," Mary said. "How can you say that? Have you known my husband for a long time?" Mary replied, "Actually, I only met him the day he hired me to be your nurse." Cassandra became pessimistic about Mary's opinion which might not be objective. "But, I'm sure you wouldn't do anything against the law. This is also because Andrew Reece, your friend, is one of the most famous palace guards. You can probably look at the palace website. There, his name is there and it means that you work in the palace." Mary's information gave Cassandra some hope of finding out what kind of job her husband might have. She quickly grabbed her mobile phone and started searching the Royal
