Semua Bab The Strongest God of War: Bab 371 - Bab 380

“Mom, what are you doing?” James complained as he gave his mother a sullen look.Dorothy chuckled, still ignoring her son's words she said to Diego, “You must be very patient to be able to listen to my son's sometimes painful words.”Diego was stunned. He had never expected James' mother to be so open and honest. Shin, who was holding back his laughter, finally responded, “Auntie, you've described James' character very well.”“Of course, young man. I'm his mother, I know how my son is,” Dorothy replied while glancing at James who still looked annoyed.“Mom, just so you know. I now have many friends and they-”“Immune to your sharp tongue?” Dorothy cut off her son's words.Diego couldn't help but laugh and he ended up chuckling along with Shin.James chewed his food quickly then replied, “Trust me, Mom. In fact, I have one close friend who almost sacrificed his life for me.”The young man looked proud to show off to his mother, while Dorothy raised her left eyebrow and asked quickly,

Riley was instantly speechless. Alen's words had shocked him. He had never realized that before.However, it wasn't long before he heard Ben say in a soothing tone, “There's no need to think about it. What you said is just an estimate. We still don't know what might happen.”“Remember, the future can easily change greatly. A prediction is neither a verdict nor a fact,” Ben added.Riley nodded with relief. Alen felt guilty, “Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you think so hard.”“Never mind, it doesn't matter. By the way, how long will it take us to arrive?” Riley asked intentionally to distract her friends.Meanwhile, Ben had apparently contacted his best friend and had gotten a message back.The man breathed a sigh of relief, “Shin and the others have also left. We'll arrive before them.”Riley nodded and immediately rested his body because when they arrived at the palace later, he knew he would be very busy.Meanwhile, inside the palace, the ground war commander, Reiner Anderson

While Reiner was already looking rather irritated, the other two war commanders also shared Reiner's frustration.Meanwhile, James himself was still pensive as if he was confused. However, it was different with Riley. The young man still looked calm and Andrew just watched the son of the legend carefully without interfering in the slightest. “I'll try to discuss it with them,” Riley said suddenly.James immediately turned to his friend, “You mean you want to negotiate with them? Is there any way they'd be willing to do that?”“I don't know, but it's one of the better ways to go about it than starting an attack right away,” Riley explained.Joseph gulped, “Are you sure about it?”Riley looked at Joseph and then nodded, “It's not a matter of being sure or not, but it's more of a way to avoid war and ... even if this method fails, at least we still have time to prepare our troops.”Reiner suddenly winked, seemingly amazed by the strategy Riley had chosen, “Wow! That's good.”Riley nodde

James sighed softly, but still seemed reluctant to answer. Meanwhile, Shin apparently still had high curiosity so he asked again, “It's been three years. Have you given up on finding him?”Ben saw James' complicated expression. The young man quickly responded to his friend's words, “Shin, what's wrong with you? It's all in the past. How could a deputy war general have time to think about such matters?”He chuckled but apparently no one was laughing with him so he returned to shutting his mouth tightly as he began to realize that the tension around him was getting serious. Meanwhile, Reiner who was actually very curious but didn't want to make James dig into the past again said, “You've been here and achieved many things, James. You're ... not just an ordinary soldier, but you're a deputy war general who has helped win this kingdom several wars.”“Your service to this kingdom is great. You ... wouldn't possibly destroy all those efforts and achievements just because of that past, wou

“I can't, General,” Reiner replied in a formal tone.Riley called him by his title which meant that the youngest war general was exercising his authority so he had to behave the same way towards him.Riley sighed, “I have to go there. This is to save our kingdom.”Reiner remained adamant, “Then why don't you talk to the deputy war general, General?”Riley exhaled harshly, “You heard yesterday that he doesn't agree.”“Me too. I don't agree with you going there alone either. That would be like handing yourself over to the enemy. Gosh, Riley, you're not that stupid, are you?” Reiner retorted.Riley fell silent.At the sight of Riley's silence, Reiner was stunned. He had just realized something.“Shit! Riley ... you went there on purpose to give yourself up, right? You knew that was going to happen and you were still determined to go there. You-”Reiner did not have time to finish his sentence because at the same time Riley hit him on the weak part of Reiner's body and slammed Reiner onto
