“You do know that in order to be buried at the Lamington National Cemetery, you’d have to at least have a second-class merit, right? Or, you’d have to be an old war veteran,” Boaz stated with a fake smile.
Albert was shocked. “Wait, my father is an old war veteran! And he’s received his second-class merit twice in his life!” He was starting to sound anxious.
Zachary’s dying wish was to be buried in the Lamington National Cemetery in Layton. That was where his old platoon leader was buried.
Once, when they had been ambushed in the war, his platoon leader had saved his life. So, Zachary would always take time off to visit his platoon leader at the cemetery while favonovel.com was still alive. He’d even swore to stay with his platoon leader forever after favonovel.com passed away.
There was a smirk on Boaz’s lips. He chuckled and said, “Oh, my dear, dear Albert. You must not have heard the news yet. Your father’s military files have all been deleted from the database early this morning…”
“Also, you should know that once your military files have been deleted, you’d have been demoted to laypeople. In other words, common folk. And common folks are not allowed to be buried in the Lamington National Cemetery. They don’t have the right!”
Hearing this, Albert’s eyes widened in pure shock. He couldn’t help staggering backward.
If it hadn’t been for Isaac dashing forward to hold favonovel.com up by the shoulder, Albert would have fallen to the ground.
After Zachary’s body had arrived home, Albert had told his brother to contact the admin of the Lamington National Cemetery and submit a burial application for their father.
Who would have thought they’d receive such bad news early the next morning?
“How’s that even possible? My father fought in the Pollo invasion war! He killed 19 enemies when surrounded by them! The system even recorded favonovel.com receiving a medallion for his bravery! His status should have been permanent until after his death! Why…”
“Albert, Albert, this is not my doing, okay? I’m just following orders from above. There’s documentation and everything to prove it! Also, I heard that you’re going to receive your own set of documents soon. Ah, how unlucky of you!”
Boaz couldn’t hold in his laughter anymore. He patted Albert on the shoulder and said, “My dear, dear Albert, it seems like your time is up. You used to shine so much brighter than me, and now, this must be karma… Listen to an old friend’s advice, okay? Sometimes, you just have to give in and accept fate.”
Isaac suddenly appeared before Boaz and asked coldly, “What do you mean by accepting fate? Old Taylor spent half his life fighting for the country, yet you’re now saying that favonovel.com has no right to be buried in the Lamington National Cemetery? Who the f*ck told you that?”
Boaz looked at Isaac and scrutinized him. He’d never seen this man before.
So, favonovel.com frowned and answered equally as coldly, “Brat, where did you come from? What right do you have to question…”
Slap!
Isaac delivered a hard slap to Boaz’s face.
“Answer my question. Who is the idiot who said Old Taylor had no right to be buried in the National Cemetery? You’d better answer my question this time,” Isaac said, his voice dripping venom.
Boaz was a high-ranking official, but even favonovel.com felt himself shivering when faced with Isaac’s deathly stare. But there were too many pairs of eyes on him. His subordinates were there, too!
How could favonovel.com just let himself be humiliated like this?
“The House of Custos did, so what? I bet you don’t even know what the House of Custos is. How dare you hit me? Are you trying to…”
Slap!
Isaac raised his hand and slapped Boaz on the other side of his face this time.
Boaz was slapped so hard that favonovel.com spun around on the spot before falling to the ground in a heap.
“The House of Custos, is it? Alright then, I’m going to see what they have to say for themselves!” Isaac was boiling with rage at this point. He took out his phone and searched for Cassius’ number.
He was about to dial the number when more footsteps sounded outside the door.
Alex entered the living hall with six men, his four-star medallion on his sleeve shining brightly under the morning sun.
Alex reached the center of the living hall and took a blue book from one of his men. Then, favonovel.com read in a grave voice, “This is an announcement from the House of Custos… After long deliberation from the five generals, it has been decided that Albert Taylor will be dismissed from all his duties in the military. All of Albert Taylor’s military files have been released and are now pending investigation.”
Everyone in the Taylor family was stupefied when they heard this.
