****“How sure are you of this news?”“About 99.9 percent, sire general.”“Great, you’ve done an amazingly great job for the country, and you shall be awarded heavily after the mission is over.”“Yes, sire General, thank you sire general, I was only doing my duty as your soldier, sire General.”“Good, you should make sure to keep monitoring the betrayal till I contact you, okay?”“Yes, sire general, I shall do that.”“Good, then.”(Beep)Presently, inside the private conference room within the army base of the capital city, the new general, several of his underlines, and several of the powerful people in the country could be seen seated gazing at the conference table top.It was the new general that just spoke on the phone with someone while everybody listened quietly.Although the call has now ended, everybody was still extremely quiet with their own thought.But the wide grin in their eyes and on their faces is enough to tell how great they all were feeling right now, an
****Everybody became confused and abruptly turned to study the middle-aged high-ranking soldier, their face filled with disbelief.Of course, they knew exactly how much the Divine general's men adores and respects him until he was proclaimed to be dead, so it sounded quite disbelieving to them that he had actually been betrayed long ago.Everybody began to exchange gazes, trying to see if it wasn’t only them that found this not believable.Seeing this, a cold light flashed in the general's face while an indescribable smirk formed on his face.‘You old fools, you really think I amount to nothing, right? Don’t worry, after that bastard is taken out of the way, I shall find a way to destroy you all and unify your families till I become the sole owner of Divine Country.’Thinking of this, the general's breathing quickened.Poor all the powerful people in the country.It was this fear they had of Rex Magnus previously that made them betray and schemed against him.They felt he wa
**** Not knowing that the identity of the person they were searching for is already leaked, apart from Lean Bottoms, everybody that returned from the capital city was still extremely busy right now, searching for hints and ways to get his identity.They searched high and low for any strange persons who doesn’t resemble a normal human being, but no matter how much they investigate, what they found doesn’t satisfy their searches at all.It later got to an extent where several of the families began to team up and invest their powers to get what they want, but unfortunately for them, even when they got him, they automatically filtered him away, thinking there is no way for Rex Magnus to be the arrogant ex-divine general they were searching for.Receiving all these, Lean couldn’t help but smirk coldly at him.Not even his immediate leader has he told him about his finding.Being the selfish person he is, Lean felt no need to share his findings with anybody, so apart from exchangin
****Nighttime, Fiona's villa.Right now, the family of four could be seen seated facing each other around the dining table, having their supper.Like people that have zero care in the world, both David and Sally were presently stuffing each other with blissful looks on their faces.As for Fiona and Rex Magus, their faces were currently tightly furrowed.Like someone that has the entire world on his mind, Rex Magnus could be seen playing with his chopsticks while his eyes were gazing unfocused into space.This was how he had been acting since he returned home this afternoon, and Fiona had long noticed which was why her face was also currently tightly furrowed.If not because she had been forcefully controlling herself, she would have long asked what was in her mind, but right now, it look like she finally couldn’t keep quiet anymore.Ever since she knew Rex Magnus, she had never seen him like this before, looking like someone had a piece of extremely bad news he doesn’t know h
**** Presently, the inside of the living room is populated and filled to the brim with two contradictory atmospheres.All the popular generals under Rex Magnus who strike intense fear in people's hearts and souls were currently laughing, joking, and roaring at the top of their lungs, clearly in excellent moods.As for Fiona, Sally, and David, their mouths and eyes still hadn’t closed, they had even become several times wider after hearing the most unbelievable thing in their entire lives.They hadn’t reacted even once, no matter how much joke or roar of laughter was made by the men.They just sat there, looking thunderstruck and lifeless with their emotions out to see.As for Rex Magnus, looking at his wife, mother-in-law, and father-in-law, he doesn’t know what to say or feel anymore.Half of him is presently covered with pride while the other half is filled with embarrassment.He watched as they gazed dumbly at him as if he was some beast of sorts.“So you really are
****“You… you knew he was the one all along?”Both Fiona and David asked in unison while Rex Magnus' eyes squinted instantly, waiting for a response with his heart in his throat.“Yes.”David suddenly smiled slightly, then he turned his gaze to Rex Magnus.“Back then, my son always tells me about his amazing brother who is his best friend, and most of our conversations always revolve around him. It got to a situation where I knew him like the back of my hand without even seeing him before.”Reaching here, David studied his wife's and daughter's faces.As for Rex Magnus, his heart began to pound hysterically in his chest.Of course, he trust what the man is saying without a doubt, because as far as he knew, the person his brother loved the most after his sister was his father, so he slowly doesn’t find it shocking anymore, but still, another emotion filled him.‘Why doesn’t he hate me if he knew?’‘Why does he still allow his daughter to marry me despite knowing I was the ca
****“So, you and my brother have shared so much together, hun?”“Yes. We've shared too much together. Both good and bad days.”Right now, back in Fiona's villa, both Rex Magnus and Fiona could be seen seated alone in the living room while everybody else had left for their designated places.At first, after everybody was gone, Fiona was still utterly cold to Rex Magnus, but as Rex Magnus got into his adventurous story with her, her stance and sentiment gradually changed, and she got completely engrossed in the story.Even though it's been over three hours since they began, the duo doesn’t look tired at all.With a wide smile that contain a tinge of sadness to it, Fiona began to imagine all the wonderful things, love, brotherhood, friendship, and trust her brother had enjoyed while he was still alive, then suddenly, she realized why he had sacrificed himself for her husband to live.Fiona suddenly took in a deep breath and her eyes focused once again on Rex Magnus who was also currentl
**** Like someone truly stunned by an electric current, Rex Magnus hurriedly swirled his head to the side, then his breathing quickened by the gentle face he saw.Fiona.She was only trying to soothe her husband which was why she came here in the first place, but the moment her hand also touches her husband's gently to her call, she also felt a current spark shot through her heart, making her heart skip a bit.Just as she was about to dismiss the feeling, thinking it was nothing, her husband's head turned to hers, and she saw his sudden bright and beastly eyes making her heart directly quicken.Before she could think, she was getting hot all over, and suddenly, she felt something soft touching her lips and her brain directly thundered.Her eyes also widen, and with this, the soft touch on her lips began to act, squeezing and embarrassing her lips.With her heart still pounding hysterically, Fiona couldn’t hel
