All Chapters of The Hidden War General: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Steven Breece closed his eyes, struggling hard to restrain himself from killing the person standing right next to him.Without waiting for any further response from Zach, Steven hurried into his own room and changed into his official military uniform.It only took him a few minutes.When he stepped out of the room, he was surprised to see Zach already dressed in full uniform, just like him.The man even gave him a wide smile. “Hello.”Steven ignored him and walked straight toward the exit.Zach kept chasing after him, chuckling. “Wow! I never would’ve guessed you were actually this hot-tempered.”“I mean … I was just joking, you know.”Steven didn’t respond and simply walked much faster.He passed by several veteran soldiers he recognized by their uniforms.His uniform differed from the one Zach was wearing. The difference lay on his right sleeve.Nathaniel Lee’s troops had an eagle emblem on their right sleeves. That was indeed a hallmark of all soldiers under Nathan’s command.Meanw

Zach Drey blinked, pretending not to know what Steven Breece was talking about.However, Steven wasn’t the type to give up easily, so in frustration, he mercilessly kicked Zach in the knee.“Tell me, or I’ll never want to duel with you again.”Zach panicked instantly.He only had Steven Breece as his eternal rival, and that man had always been a challenge to him.He’d always wanted to defeat Steven, and if Steven no longer wanted to be his rival or worse, never even considered him a rival, his life would surely feel boring as long as he was in the palace.Fearfully, he immediately said, “Uh, please don’t get the wrong idea! I … was just acting.”“What do you mean?”Zach scratched his ear which wasn’t itchy and tried to explain carefully, “Here’s the thing … Arnold Reed will believe me if I look like I don’t want to let go of him. That will make him think I’m too loyal to him to ever want to serve under General Lee. That way, he’ll never suspect me.”That explained why he had to lie to

Daniel hesitated for a moment, but then he said, “No need. Just leave him be for now.”“But, Chief of the Guard. What if-”“Just keep an eye on him and don’t let him slip out of your sight.”The chief of the guard’s subordinate finally nodded obediently.Daniel then went back inside the king’s residence and made sure the king was safe before finally stepping back out.He went into his room, grabbed his phone, and opened the message that had just arrived in his inbox.He glanced at it briefly before putting the phone back in his pocket.He returned outside and spoke with some of his men.“Tomorrow I’m going to request leave. My mother is sick, and I need to go home immediately. Can you guys keep an eye on the king?” Daniel asked his men.“Head of the Guards, you don’t need to worry. We’ve received instructions from you every time you’ve taken leave. So, we’ll make sure everything stays as safe as ever.”That answer made Daniel breathe a sigh of relief.That very night, he drafted his l

The footsteps of several soldiers could be heard coming from the long hallway outside Zach’s room. The sound of their boots was rhythmic, typical of a platoon just finishing their shift. Steven, who was still leaning against the wall, turned his head slightly, while Zach remained standing by the window.Three soldiers passed by, then one of them slowed down. He glanced at Steven, as if checking something. A few seconds later, they stopped.“Excuse me,” the soldier said, his tone polite yet full of curiosity. “Lieutenant Breece.”Steven gave a brief nod. “Yes.”The other two soldiers immediately exchanged glances, then looked back at Steven with expressions almost identical to Zach’s earlier curiosity.Zach, standing near the window, turned his head slightly, the corners of his mouth curving upward. He didn’t say anything, but he was clearly enjoying the situation.“What’s it like?” the second soldier asked without hesitation. “I mean … living outside the palace, Lieutenant?”Zach chuc

Angela Jackson didn’t close the door right away after Nathan left. She stood in the doorway for a few seconds, as if she could still feel his presence in the room, which now felt emptier. Then, without really thinking twice, she stepped outside.The black car was already waiting, its door open. Standing beside it, he was now fully in duty mode. His military uniform looked more imposing in the morning light, complete with insignia and a demeanor that was no longer as relaxed as it had been inside the house.Angela watched silently.Nathan paused briefly before getting into the car, as if checking something. For a moment, he glanced toward the house more precisely, toward Angela. Their gazes met for a split second, long enough to convey something that couldn’t be spoken.Then the war general got into the car.The door closed neatly. The driver in front immediately got ready, while Henry moved quickly to the other side of the vehicle.One by one, other vehicles began to move.From behin
