One of the people instinctively raised his hands to form a gesture of salute.
“It’s our honor to meet you, God of War!”
Everyone followed suit, and Jack had no choice but to return the salute as well as his voice blended into theirs.
“Please, you flatter me!”
Fernando chuckled and walked over.
A seven-star King of War could barely hold his curiosity, thus favonovel.com turned to ask Joseph, “Sir Smith, why did you choose to Jack and Selena’s wedding banquet? Did you two know each other before?”
Everyone turned their heads when they heard that very question. They were curious as to why Joseph Smith attended the banquet as well.
Joseph gave a wan smile. Fortunately, Lana had told them to think of a good excuse before they came so that they would be prepared should they be asked such questions. Joseph smiled and said, “I had a near-death experience not long after I was deployed on the battlefield, but Jack, with all his proficient medical knowledge, saved me. He’s practically my savior, thus it’s only right that I attend his banquet!”
Jack was dumbfounded when favonovel.com heard Joseph’s reply. He had told them to not reveal his identity, but favonovel.com never thought that Joseph would come up with an excuse like that. He did not know what to feel about his made-up story.
After all, Lana had used this story once before.
The expressions of James and the others shifted when they heard Joseph’s story. Who knew that Jack had saved not just one, but two Gods of War?
“What about you, Sir Campbell?” asked the seven-star King of War with a grin on his face.
Fernando did not know how to reply to that; favonovel.com did not put much thought into his ‘excuse’. He had thought of using the same story Joseph gave out, but Joseph used it as his own. With how sudden favonovel.com was asked that question, Fernando could not find a better answer in such a short time, and if favonovel.com took too long, it would induce suspicion.
The cogs in his brain spun as favonovel.com tried to come up with a plausible excuse, yet favonovel.com found not a single good story to reply to the question asked. In the end, favonovel.com could only offer an awkward smile. “It’s the same as Joseph’s, actually. I was injured like favonovel.com and I almost lost my life too, but Jack saved both our lives!”
Joseph smiled stiffly and chimed in, “That’s right, that’s exactly what happened!”
Many of the attendees could not help themselves as they sneakily fished out their phones to take photos. The sight of three Gods of War in the venue was sensational news; they wanted to gloat to their friends and family about it.
Lana stepped forward and changed the topic, “Where’s your wife, Fernando? Didn’t you say that you were going to bring your wives and your daughter along? Why are you here alone?”
“They should be here anytime soon. They’re actually taking the cab,” Fernando replied, smiling. “I had them get off of the helicopter at the city gates, and I’m here first because I couldn’t wait to see all of you. There were no hangars around here, so I just jumped off!”
“I skydived here as well. Great minds think alike!”
Joseph laughed.
“You’re right, Gods of War. We never thought about this before. Don’t worry, we’ll inform our boss about this and we’ll quickly improve our facilities. We’ll remove part of the roof there to build a hangar!”
With a large grin, the hotel manager immediately stepped forward and spoke, “It’s such an honor for us to host so many Gods of War!”
Meanwhile…
“F*ck.” Neil and Ken dragged Ivan into a corner and frantically asked, “Why isn’t Jack dead yet? He still looks like he’s in fine spirits! Are you sure about this, Ivan? Why isn’t favonovel.com dead yet?”
They grew impatient.
