Chapter 205

Cameron rested on his bed after showering. He thought about Laura and tomorrow morning's event. He didn't understand her coldness and indifference. He remembered her tension and worry for him under the ruins, and a hint of sincerity he sensed then. The nurse also said Laura hadn't left the hospital immediately after he was taken to the emergency room; instead, she'd cried secretly in a corner. And tears, he thought, are never deceitful. Perhaps she faced unavoidable difficulties? He sighed. After tomorrow's event, he would ask Laura to explain everything, including what happened seven years ago. He wanted clarity, even if it meant she returned to Leving and never came back to Yrando, even if it meant they never saw each other again. He refused to remain confused any longer.

Late that night, dozens of fighter jets circled the Leving Military District airport. A leading black jet slowly landed. The hatch opened, and a man in a military green camouflage uniform stepped out. His shoulder boards displayed two bars and four stars—the rank of vice general. His resolute face, bronze skin, and air of arrogance commanded respect. The welcoming soldiers showed him only awe. He was, after all, Andura's youngest vice general. At 27, he was already a battlefield legend, having led a hundred thousand Imperial Lions to victory along the border, earning outstanding military achievements. His return might earn him a promotion to general, making him the youngest and most unprecedented general in Andura. This man was Alan, also known as "Battlefiend." Beyond his extraordinary talent and strength, he was the young master of the Xander family, the most prominent family in the Leving Military Region.

"General Xander!" A deafening roar erupted as Alan disembarked. The soldiers presented arms.

"Hm," he acknowledged the grand welcome, a satisfied nod. Alan, like many at his age, was vain and narcissistic. "It's a pity Laura couldn't witness this," he murmured. "She would surely admire me." Laura, proud and aloof, favored strong men. And Alan was undeniably the strongest of his generation.

"General, your vehicle awaits," a trusted subordinate reported.

"Good," Alan nodded. "Inform the team to disband and rest. They've worked hard for three months."

"Yes, General!"

"Assemble a small team for me. We depart for Yrando tomorrow morning."

"Yes, General. I'll arrange it immediately!"

"Alright, everyone, rest." Alan dismissed them, then looked up at the night sky, a sharp glint in his eyes. "Laura, what's so special about that guy that makes you risk everything? Tomorrow, I'll meet him. Let's see if he's as great as they say!"
