"What does it have to do with you?" Blake Morgan was the first to reply.

"Grandpa is right. What does it have to do with you?" Alice also replied in the group.

Seeing their responses, Mason Morgan was speechless and could only send a series of question marks in the group to express his astonishment.

"Dad, although you have the final say in Alice's matters, and I trust your judgment, I should at least know what kind of man my daughter is going to marry, right? I'll find time to go over and take a look after a while. There are too many things going on here in Metropolis City at the moment. @Blake Morgan," after a long time, Mason Morgan sent another lengthy message.

"Do as you wish. It's not like you can change anything anyway," Blake Morgan said rather domineeringly.

"Dad, you're overthinking. It's only just beginning now!" Alice was obviously a bit exasperated too.

After replying, Alice put down her phone.

"Why aren't you eating yet?" At this moment, Joseph also came out from the kitchen. He placed the last dish on the table.

"Ah? I was waiting for you! I thought about it and felt it wasn't quite right to start eating alone," Alice was slightly stunned, then answered.

"Try it. No need to be so formal," Joseph picked up a piece of cheese steak for Alice, making her feel a sense of bliss.

"Thank you," Alice expressed her gratitude, then took a bite.

However, after just one bite, her expression changed, and she instantly froze.

"Um, how is it? Not tasty?" Joseph noticed Alice's unusual expression and asked.

However, Alice didn't answer. Instead, she picked up two more pieces and started eating.

"If it's not tasty, don't force yourself. Try something else?" Joseph blinked and suggested.

"Joseph, what are you saying? What do you mean by not tasty? It's too delicious! How can it be so delicious? This is the most delicious cheese steak I've ever eaten. It's simply too good."

"I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to eat first. It's too delicious," Alice couldn't wait to start eating. She was already a bit hungry, and with such delicacies in front of her, she found it even harder to control herself.

"This is delicious!"

"Oh, this is delicious too."

"This one, this one, even more delicious."

"Wow, this is the most delicious. It's too good."

As she ate, Alice kept praising Joseph endlessly.

Hearing this, Joseph felt a bit unreal. Was it really that delicious?

"Isn't this just an ordinary home-cooked meal? Is it really that delicious?" Joseph smiled awkwardly. Was this girl just teasing him?

"Joseph, you're being too humble. Whew, even the top chefs in my family can't make dishes as delicious as yours."

"Joseph, be more confident. You're really amazing and awesome," Alice continued to praise him while not stopping her hands from eating.

Joseph smiled and started eating too.

Alice ate more dishes, while Joseph ate more rice. Since childhood, Joseph had always had a huge appetite.

After about an hour, Alice was finally full. Although Joseph had a large appetite, he was already full at this point.

"If it's not enough, I can make more for you," Joseph noticed Alice's lingering desire for more.

"Ah? No, no. I can't eat anymore. Really can't eat anymore," Alice quickly responded.

She seemed to have been eating a bit like a wolf just now, not very ladylike. Would Joseph dislike her?

Thinking about this, Alice felt a bit uneasy.

"That's good then," Joseph smiled.

"Joseph, I don't usually eat so unladylike. Do you prefer gentler girls?" Alice asked tentatively.

"You just need to be the way you like. It doesn't matter what kind of girls I like," Joseph chuckled.

"How can that be? That's too casual," Alice shook her head.

"Then let me put it another way. I like all your ways," Joseph said with a smile.

"Ah? Are you serious?" When Joseph said this, Alice's pretty face instantly turned red. She turned around and fled back to her room.

Joseph watched Alice's departing figure and just laughed. She was already eighteen years old, yet still like a child.

After Alice left, Joseph began to clean up.

Back in her room, it took a long time for Alice's burning heart to cool down.

"So, Joseph likes me too. Does that mean we have mutual feelings?" Alice lay on the bed, hugging her big plush doll, talking to herself.

Suddenly, she thought of something, grabbed her phone, dialed Blake Morgan's number, and called.

Before long, the call was answered.

"Hello, Alice. How is it going? Have you arranged everything?" Blake Morgan's voice came from the other end of the line.

"Of course. It's not a difficult task. I've settled Joseph in," Alice replied.

"So, what's the matter? Calling grandpa so late?" Blake Morgan asked again.

"There's nothing in particular. I just wanted to tell you that Joseph's cooking skills are really good, much better than those top chefs in our family," Alice couldn't stop praising Joseph's culinary skills.

"Hahaha... Is that so? Now I want to taste it even more."

"However, I can't fully trust your opinion on it being delicious because, in the eyes of someone you love, even their flaws are virtues," Blake Morgan couldn't help but tease.

"What do you mean by 'someone you love'? My relationship with Joseph is not certain yet!" Alice said this, but her heart was happy.

"I remember three years ago, when Joseph married into the Cooper family, someone in our family hid and cried for a day and night, with swollen eyes."

"She even said Joseph Wilson had promised to marry her and that Joseph wasn't a man of his word," Blake Morgan teased again.

"Grandpa, you... Always teasing people. I won't talk to you anymore," Alice's pretty face turned slightly red, unable to keep a straight face. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Blake Morgan, she hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Alice opened F******k and found that her update had exploded with 99 comments.

Moreover, when she opened it, she saw that all 99 comments on the update were from the food photos she had just posted, mostly from boys.

"Alice, who is this man? He's not your boyfriend, is he?"

"Alice, are you in a relationship? Which family's young master is this?"

"Joseph? Who is Joseph?"

"Fuck, if he becomes your boyfriend, I'll kill him..."

"Hehe... Don't let me see this guy in Nova City. Every time I see him, I'll beat him up twice..."

Alice read the comments for a while. They were all a mess.

Then, together, we will weigh every opinion and formulate the landing plan."Joseph addressed the room.With that, a fierce discussion began in earnest.After two full hours, the debate finally drew to a close. At last, the group had arrived at a shared core position.Joseph raised a hand, signaling for silence.At once, the room quieted."The two main schools of thought are these: a direct frontal assault, or a surprise beachhead seizure with an elite strike force.""I think both approaches have merit.""After careful consideration, I intend to employ both. But my thinking differs somewhat from yours.""Strictly speaking, I have merely refined your proposals."Joseph rose to his feet, swept his gaze across the assembled generals, and spoke."Then we ask General Wilson to decide.""Please, General Wilson—give the order.""General Wilson, the floor is yours.""..."At his

    “You bastard—you owe me my brother’s life!”Another soldier rushed forward as well, raising his weapon to fire.Bang!Seeing this, Camden Murphy fired first. The shot struck the soldier in the hand and knocked the gun from his grasp.Even then, Camden Murphy was about to fire again and kill the soldier outright.But in the very next instant—Bang! Bang! Bang!Hundreds of shots erupted at once. The soldiers around him all opened fire on Camden Murphy together, and in a heartbeat his body was riddled through like a sieve.“To hell with this. We came here to defend our homes and our country, and now the Murphy family and the Cooper family have turned their guns on our families and demanded that we shoot our own kin.”“Brothers, I will not be the Central Council’s dog any longer.

    “Young Lord, if I am not mistaken, your forces have already set out by now.”Neil Foster’s voice came through the line.“We will reach Nova City by tomorrow afternoon.”Joseph replied calmly.“General, I have good news on my side as well.”“That lad Clarence Bennett has rallied the garrison units from five or six nearby cities. At present, he has assembled a force of more than twenty thousand men.”“The moment you arrive, he will join your ranks and march with you toward Metropolis City.”Neil Foster said, unable to keep the satisfaction from his voice.“Good. Very good indeed.”At this, Joseph gave repeated words of approval.After a brief exchange, the call ended and each returned to his own affairs.The two hundred thousand-strong army rolled onward in grand formation toward Metropolis City.At the same time, Malcolm Sanchez led four hundred thousand troops in a mighty march toward the East Coast.Once those four hundred thousand arrived, the total garrison on the East Coast would

    “Yes, General!”“In respectful submission to the distinguished commanders of the Southern Frontier, and to our brothers in arms there: the eight coastal provinces have jointly declared their withdrawal from the control of the Central Council.”“The Central Council has acted in utter defiance of reason and conscience, betraying the interests of our eight provinces and clinging to life through cowardly compromise. Such conduct is devoid of all decency and intolerable under heaven. The people of our eight coastal provinces understand their duty to defend their land and country. We swear to hold these provinces to the death and yield not one inch.”“In years past, General Eugene Wilson fought side by side with the people of our eight provinces. That bond of loyalty rises as high as the heavens themselves. Our people remain profoundly grateful and have never forgotten.”“Now the thieves and invaders have come once more.
