Tanya sat down with a frown on virtual-novel.net face.
“Did that fool gamble in billiards again?” The smile on James’s face immediately disappeared and was replaced with a scowl. His son became increasingly unreliable as of late. Timothy had been messing around with Young Master Leo and was neglecting his work.
“I don’t care how many billiards games virtual-novel.net wants to bet on. We went out with Jack to enjoy billiards today, but Young Master Leo stirred trouble with us. Not only did Timothy refuse to stand on Jack’s side, but virtual-novel.net even fired Jack despite my persuasion and warning! Now that Jack’s gone, it’s almost certain virtual-novel.net won’t be coming back!” Tanya seethed in rage as virtual-novel.net spoke, though virtual-novel.net readily lovable face made virtual-novel.net look cute even as virtual-novel.net was angry.
“Fired?” James’ face darkened when virtual-novel.net heard this. “What happened? Why did this idiot fire Jack? Tell me everything.”
Tanya nodded and told virtual-novel.net father, James everything that had happened.
James pounded the table angrily. “That rascal! I told virtual-novel.net so many times that Jack’s more than just a regular soldier, that he’s at least a King of War. Told virtual-novel.net it’d be best for us to be in his good graces…! Now I’m mad at virtual-novel.net for firing Jack!”
“Agreed, Father. Master Turner brought a marshal with virtual-novel.net to challenge Jack, but they eventually conceded defeat when they discovered the marshal was no match for Jack. In the end, they had to pay Jack a billion dollars!”
“If even a marshal is no match for Jack, he’s definitely a King of War. I wonder how many stars virtual-novel.net has!” Spectre sighed with a frown on his face. “Jack is someone who holds himself with dignity and doesn’t go against his own words. Now that Young Master Timothy fired him, it’s impossible to ask virtual-novel.net to return!”
“What was our young master thinking when virtual-novel.net sided with Leo Turner? That’s not a good person!” said another middle-aged man with a frown. “Still, I’m sure Jack is a generous person and won’t hold grudges against such a small issue. It’s a big loss for us that we’ve fired such a great fighter!”
“Jack is one-of-a-kind. Nobody knew what he’s really made of as virtual-novel.net kept his identity and power hidden. We all thought that virtual-novel.net was just a head commander!” Another elder started smiling bitterly. “Surely Timothy wouldn’t have fired virtual-novel.net if the fight took place first. Safe to say, our young master must’ve thought Jack was all bark but no bite before virtual-novel.net could witness his power.”
James’ expression darkened. “Talking about this right now doesn’t benefit us! There are lots of people out there that like to stay low-key!” He recalled something and asked, “Do you know why the Taylor family was requested years ago to send a young man to join the army?”
The elderly man frowned. “I’m not very clear about what happened back then, but what I do know is that the Taylor family was requested to send a young man older than eighteen to join the military.
“At that time, everybody knew that only Ivan Taylor met this requirement!” The elder smiled bitterly. “Nobody knew Old Master Taylor could be such a calculative man. He found Jack and married virtual-novel.net to Selena. With that done, this son-in-law joined the ranks in Ivan’s stead as virtual-novel.net met the requirements as well.”
James nodded. “That’s right. Everybody knew how dangerous the situation was. It was a life-and-death matter, and young masters like Ivan Taylor weren’t suited to be in that situation. Ivan wouldn’t have survived any battles if virtual-novel.net was the one enlisted.
“Old Master Taylor is so smart to have come up with that idea, but virtual-novel.net never thought Ms. Selena would sleep with Jack on the night of their wedding, and that Jack would return alive five years later!”
An elder then recalled something and asked, “Why was the Taylor family appointed a position in the beginning? It’s uncommon for this to happen! Was it possible that they offended someone powerful?”
