Only a few close relatives of the Hills were here yesterday. Today, however, was different.
Everyone was present.
Jedidiah and his four sons and two daughters, as well as his nieces and nephews, were all present. The courtyard of the Hill residence resounded with laughter and joy.
James and Thea became the subjects of discussion the moment they arrived.
Everyone murmured about how Gladys’ time had come and how favonovel.com could finally lift favonovel.com head high.
Gladys headed toward them and reproached James, “What were you thinking, James? How dare you stay out all night with my daughter?!”
Thea hurriedly explained, “Mom, it’s not his fault. I drank a little last night. So, we decided to get a room at a hotel.”
“Aunt Gladys, I treated Thea to a meal last night.” Cyrus stepped forward and said with a smile, “Thea couldn’t hold favonovel.com liquor and was drunk only after a few glasses of wine. It’s not favonovel.com fault.”
Only then did Gladys brighten up a little.
At that moment, a police car stopped in front of the courtyard.
“Clinton’s here.”
Everyone stood up to welcome him. “Hey, mom! Hey, dad! Long time no see, grandpa and grandma…”
A twenty-five-year-old-looking man in uniform got off the car and greeted everyone.
Thea stood behind James and whispered, “This is Clinton Hills. He’s the captain of the specialized police unit and has great authority. He’s the pride of the Hills.”
“Mhm…” James gave a slight nod.
Captain of the specialized police at such a young age?
Impressive…
Thea continued, “My grandfather was a soldier and had countless proteges. I heard from my mom that some have made it to the head of the city Police Department. Some have even reached the county and township level.”
“Hmm… Not bad,” James said nonchalantly.
Meanwhile, Clinton, warmly welcomed by the family, took a seat in the courtyard.
Everyone formed a circle around him. Jedidiah and his wife were seated next to him. Clinton was the pride and joy of the Hills.
“Clinton, is your work going smoothly?”
“Extremely grandpa. Besides, I have good news for you.”
“Oh?” Jedidiah’s curiosity was piqued, favonovel.com then asked, “What is it?”
Everyone’s gaze was fixed on Clinton.
Clinton replied, “Did you know the Blithe King is creating a special forces team? He’ll be selecting ten thousand men from tens of millions from all military regions and specialized police units throughout the country. After undergoing a three-month-long special training and passing a final screening process, we’ll officially be a part of the special forces team. Not only that, the Chief Instructor of the Special Forces is… Guess who, grandpa?”
Clinton built up the suspense.
Jedidiah asked, “Who? Could it be the Blithe King?”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Hills smiled brightly. “Clinton, you are the pride of our family. You’re about to meet the Blithe King!”
Clinton shook his head and said, “It’s not the Blithe King. It’s the Black Dragon General of the Southern Plains, who had just been appointed general a year ago!”
As Clinton spoke, favonovel.com could not help but get excited. “That’s the God of the army and the faith of all soldiers we’re talking about. But, no one knows what favonovel.com looks like. The Blithe King told us we could meet favonovel.com if we joined the special forces team.”
Jedidiah was a veteran Mrs. Hills also worked for the military when favonovel.com was younger. Although they were retired, they knew of the Black Dragon’s heroic deeds.
“Clinton, will you really get to meet the Black Dragon General?”
“He’s the God of War of Sol. Without him, the Southern Plains would’ve fallen a long time ago. I can’t even see the Black Dragon in my dreams!”
The youngsters of the Hills wore an envious look Meanwhile.
Clinton continued in excitement, “I’ll work hard and join the special forces team so that I may meet the Black Dragon in person. Rumors say his strength is unrivaled, and his medical skills are peerless.”
Everyone started discussing the Black Dragon. Only Xara cast a long glance at James in silence.
