Savana swallowed hard, she couldn't think of any words to tell Xavier to refuse his grandfather's request. Instead, Xavier told her to go home alone and said he would find a job to prepare for their wedding in thirteen days.

It's not that Savana doesn't trust Xavier's words, but she can lend him the money if they want to throw a lavish party. For the sake of her husband's good name, Savana didn't want to be insulted.

Savana got into the car as soon as she realised she had been daydreaming for several minutes. She drove the car at a slow pace, looking around the streets for Xavier. Where was this guy going to get a job and make good money in thirteen days? It didn't make any sense, Savana sighed heavily when she couldn't find her husband. Finally she decided to go to the office, it was still her working time.

On the other hand, Xavier was already in the car. He deliberately walked a long way, making sure that no one saw him as he got into the car. Leo did not dare to drive the car without Xavier's orders. Apparently his boss wanted to make sure that his wife got into the car. But Savana looked like a dazed person and Xavier felt guilty that he might have burdened his wife's mind. But no matter what, it was much harder for him to tell her who he really was.

"Now go, Leo."

Leo nodded and he quickly drove the car away. "What exactly happened boss?" asked Leo curiously because Xavier hadn't told him anything.

"I'll tell you later, now I'll ask you. What did you want to talk to me about that you wanted to meet?" Xavier asked back, looking at Leo who was driving the car.

"It's a rather serious matter boss. The superiors have asked you to take over as the Commander-in-Chief who will take care of the construction of new districts on the four main islands, Shetland, Orkney, Inner Hebrides and Outer Hebrides, because only you are competent and can do the job well. We Zodiac Warriors are at your disposal, Boss," Leo said very firmly, and he should be able to get Xavier to accept the offer, as his superiors would only give such a great responsibility to their God of War.

"I will accept, provided you help me solve a few problems first. And can I go directly to the superiors today?"

Leo's eyes widened in disbelief, he immediately nodded, and how pleased Leo was that Xavier did not immediately reject the offer. "Okay, boss, let's go to the palace right now!"

The way to the royal palace that was their boss took fifteen minutes from where they were. Leo looked at Xavier who was watching the road.

"Boss, how can we help you solve your problem?" asked Leo, seeming to break the silence between them.

Xavier did not immediately tell him what had just happened. If he told Leo the truth, Xavier was sure that all those who had insulted him would not be able to escape Leo, they would get justice and feel hopeless about their lives. Xavier didn't want to do that right now. He sighed a few times and then began to express his wish. "I want to have the most elaborate wedding in town. I want to make it up to Savana for leaving her without news. She has been a loyal and devoted wife to me, so I want her to be happy."

Leo stared at Xavier's request. He didn't think it was a big deal, for a God of War it was obviously a very easy problem to solve. Xavier already had everything, anything he wanted would be possible. He would even use the royal palace as his office when he accepted his new position as Commander-in-Chief.

"Boss, are you serious? When is the party? I'll gladly take care of everything. You can even get all the companies in this town if you want, why do you look so giddy about it?" Leo chuckled softly, he really admired Xavier for not wanting to take all his wealth with him immediately after becoming God of War. He could even become a billionaire these days.

"Yes, that's all for now. I can't finish it in thirteen days. It's all too sudden," Xavier muttered as he looked at Leo.

"Thirteen days? Ah, that's enough if I use a lot of energy." Leo started to imagine where he could start.

"Good. You are indeed reliable. I trust you. I don't want to know what you are going to prepare, because it will be a surprise for me as well. Don't forget to prepare the wedding dress before the day, send it to Savana's home address and give us both beautiful diamond rings."

"Yes, boss! I promise not to disappoint you!" Leo replied firmly.

Xavier smiled mysteriously, he couldn't wait for the day to come. Then everyone would be curious to see how he could create such a big and luxurious party without any help! He would make everyone curious, including the Cooper and Smith families.

Arriving at the country's royal palace, Xavier disembarked immediately and received a respectful welcome from his subordinates who knew him well. They had apparently also been transferred to this location. While in the war zone, there were already replacements due to regeneration, and when a group was in the position of the nickname of the Twelve Zodiacs and the God of War, they could go home and gain great wealth, and even go to war with the real world to occupy the country's royal palace.

"Welcome, God of War. At last we meet," said the man behind the large chair as he turned and faced Xavier, who was completely taken aback.

This is no dream! Nor was it a coincidence. Xavier would never have guessed that his superior, who was here, was his father, who was rumoured to have suffered an accident while fighting in a war zone.

"Dad?" muttered Xavier as he searched for a seat, his legs feeling so weak that he desperately needed something to lean on.

"Yes, Xavier. Your father is alive and you finally know who your real father is. Now, I never thought that you would be the one to take over my duties of running this palace and carrying out the duties of state." David rose from his seat and walked over to Xavier, smiling happily at the sight of his son.

Then they shared a warm embrace, and Xavier seemed to be dreaming. He really missed his father.

"Dad, what happened? Did Mummy survive the accident? Sorry, I just got home and I forgot to look after Xania."

    "So that's the story," said David, who had just finished telling us what had happened in the past. "I'm sorry I had to stay away from you. I'm really sorry that I couldn't be a parent to protect you. Instead of saving Xania, I was too late."It seemed that hearing his father's confession made Xavier even more determined to avenge those people. "Father, I swear I will make them regret destroying our family. But I'm glad to finally meet you and be reunited with you. Where's Mum? Will I be able to see her too?""Your mother is at our main house, there will be time for you to go there. Father will give you our home address. We've been hiding there all this time, waiting for you to return," David said, getting a nod from Xavier."Then, now that I'm here, I'll continue your duties as Commander-in-Chief, but on one condition, Father," Xavier's speech was cut short as he paused."What is that?" David's eyebrows were half raised."I don't want to show everyone my true identity until a certain

Joseph told him to sit down, so everyone gathered in the living room, concentrating on Joseph who was about to say something."Why Dad?" Savana asked, trying to break the contact of Joseph's eyes that were piercing Xavier so sharply."Are you really incapable of thinking straight?" Joseph snapped at Xavier immediately.Savana had expected this, she was really worried that her father was angry with Xavier. But looking at Xavier's expression, he was very calm and showed no concern."I've been thinking, are you talking about my wedding on the fifteenth?" asked Xavier without taking his eyes off Joseph."Yes, what else is there to think about?" said Joseph, looking pleased with himself.Xavier just nodded and then said calmly. "I have prepared it well. Take it easy, just come to the place when I tell you. You can see for yourselves if I embarrass this fam

    "Capricorn managed to break into Smith's security centre, he's still looking for evidence related to Xania. He said it would be very difficult to find the CCTV footage connected to the location area from the Smith Group's perspective, they might have lost track of it. But if we can search from the King Group hotel's perspective, we might find it, boss!" Leo exclaimed, making Xavier look at him expectantly."Capricorn is right! Why did I just think of that?" muttered Xavier, making Leo shrug his shoulders in casual response."But the King Group's security is so strong that Capricorn will try to break in. We just need to know the date when Xania fell from the top of the building." Leo added."I wonder, was there a witness from the King Hotel at that time? It's impossible that they didn't see it. I suppose, apart from breaking into the CCTV security, what about the data on the occupants? At least on the floor parallel to the crime scene, I want to make sure one of them saw it," Xavier sa

"Does this have Xavier's name on it too?" a disbelieving Savana chirped."Wh-what?" At a loss for words, Joseph looked at the names on the front of the envelope one by one."This is all the sender gave us. I'm sure there must be something wrong! I would have come even if I hadn't received such an invitation! After all, I am the owner of the Cooper Company, and you wouldn't exist without me!" Cooper exclaimed as he massaged his dizzy head."Grandpa!"

Meanwhile, Xavier's food, which Ella had brought, was also being taken to his room by Anggie."Mum, Dad, let's go for a walk first!" called Savana as she said goodbye to them, then linked her hand to Xavier's left arm as they walked to the car."Let me drive for you," Xavier said as he took the car keys from Savana's hand.Meanwhile, Savana, who had just got into the car, looked at Xavier and raised half an eyebrow in surprise. "Are you sure you can drive for me?" asked Savana, because she had never seen Xavier drive for her before, so she was curious."Of course I can drive, even though I don't have a driving licence, but I can drive. Don't doubt me," Xavier said with a faint smile until Savana finally nodded in agreeme

When you get home, brush your teeth immediately if you don't want to get cavities".Sean, hearing Savana's advice, could only nod slowly as he continued to enjoy his sweet cake.

Does he work like Sean's father?" asked Sean, his curiosity running high.Sheila, who had always liked Sean because of Savana's son's handsome face, never tired of being seen.

It's not good to overdo it, especially if you eat a lot of sweets, do you want a lot of cavities?" said Savana, who looked angry because Sean wasn't listening to her."Dad, why are you mad at Sean? Sean just likes to eat this," said Sean, who even complained to his father about it."Honey, I'm not angry. I'm just telling you. Do you want to be ugly with lots of cavities?

    Childbirth is a life and death struggle for a woman. Therefore it would be a sin to go against our mothers and hurt them. Now, the title Savana received after her son was born on Earth was that of a mother. She gently rubbed the soft cheeks of her son, who was already scented with Telon oil and dressed like a cocoon."What are you going to call him?" Savana asked Xavier who was sitting next to her looking at her son."Why don't we just call him Sean? Because your name starts with S, so if it's a boy it's Sean, if it's a girl it's something else". Xavier expressed his opinion."Why are you following the initials of my first name?" Savana asked."Because you fought and brought her to this earth." Xavier gave her a sweet smile that brought a blush to Savana's cheeks."Girls are called Xania, right?" Savana asked as she looked intently into Xavier's eyes. "Why Xania?""Because I want to cure your feelings of longing for Xania, but unfortunately our son is a boy. So it doesn't matter if h

Gosh I'm really panicking even though I've been through this before because it hurts so much." Ella said as she gently rubbed Savana's arm, which was being carried away with a tank to lift her body as there was no way anyone else here would hold her as it might make Xavier angry."Mama, it looks like my baby is coming out," Savana cried, sending the whole house into a panic.Ella had to teach Savana how to regulate her breathing so she could hold her until she got to the hospital.

You have such potential and are so creative that I am sure anything under your control will definitely be a success".Savana was touched to receive such praise.
