George was focused on his work, even when he wasn't working, he would find other things to keep himself busy. Such as physical exercise, or any other useful activity. So that he could slowly get rid of his sadness.
"Commander, you'd better get some rest. You've been exercising for too long, and you only sleep for a few minutes at night. If you keep this up, you'll get sick," said Liam, trying to advise George. George sighed, then took a bottle of mineral water and drank it all. For weeks now, George had been unable to sleep peacefully. He kept thinking about Alexa's frightened face. He was overwhelmed with guilt because he hadn't been able to protect Alexa properly. If only he hadn't ignored Alexa's phone call that time, maybe Alexa would still be alive now. And they would be back together again. "If you get sick later, our enemies will be happy and try to take advantage of the situation," Liam grumbled. "Okay, Liam. I'll get some rest. Thank you for worrying about me," George replied with a slight smile. George then patted Liam's arm gently and headed for his room. As he was about to enter the room, Sam called out to him, causing George to stop in his tracks. "Commander, someone wants to see you. They want to ask for your help and cooperate with you," said Sam. "Who are they?" asked George. "Mr. William. Three years ago, he asked for your help to fight the rebels in the city he led. And this morning, Mr. William contacted me again to ask for your help," explained Sam. George was silent. He had indeed helped that man before. "Actually, this time it's not Mr. William himself who wants to ask for your help, but one of his business partners. He wants you to kill someone because their family feels they have been greatly wronged," said Sam. George laughed softly. "Oh my God, do they think I'm a hitman?" George shook his head slowly, he wasn't interested in that kind of thing. "He said they can pay whatever you want, because the man they want killed is very powerful," said Sam. "I don't care about that, Sam. That's not part of my job. I'm not a hitman who gets involved in other people's family problems," replied George. "Okay, commander. I'll contact Mr. William again if you can't help his business partner," said Sam, who was only answered with a nod from George. Sam bowed his head respectfully, then left George. George also walked back to his room, deciding to take a shower. Hopefully tonight, he could sleep peacefully without thinking about his regrets about Alexa anymore. "Charlotte, that damn woman must already know about Fellix's situation. She'll be targeting my life even more," said George with a chuckle. "I can't wait to meet her," he continued. The next morning. George came out of his room, intending to go to the dining room for breakfast. "Commander, wait a minute. I want to let you know that Mr. William's business partner still wants to work with you. Last night, he contacted me himself and asked for your help," said Sam. "We'll discuss it later, Sam. Have you had breakfast yet? If not, have breakfast first," replied George. George then went to the dining room. "I don't think he'll ever be interested in a menial task like this," muttered Sam with a soft chuckle. After breakfast, George was in his private room working. Not long after, Sam came to ask George for an explanation as to whether his boss was still not interested in helping William's business partner. "Commander," said Sam, bowing halfway to show respect. "Do you want to confirm my answer, Sam?" asked George, looking at Sam. "Don't they think that killing one person requires my help? Is that person too strong, or are they too weak?" he continued. Sam scratched his head, which wasn't itchy. He himself hadn't gotten any clearer information. "Last night, the man only said that his enemy was indeed very strong. He managed to kill Dev Cafxon and all of his best men. Not only that, Anthony Zen also died because of him. Those two alone were quite strong, which means their enemy was indeed no ordinary person," explained Sam. George immediately stood up upon hearing Sam's explanation. "Oh my God, what kind of joke is this?" said George with a laugh. "Is something wrong, commander? That's the information we got from them," said Sam with a slightly worried expression. George sat back down. "What's the man's name?" George asked, smiling slightly at Sam. "Gerry Thompson," Sam replied. "Gerry Thompson? Charlotte Quintrel's husband?" Sam answered with a nod. George laughed again, then enjoyed his coffee. "What do you say, commander? What's your decision?" Sam asked hesitantly. "Just let them wait. I want to see what else they do," George replied. "As you command, commander," Sam said with a respectful bow. Sam then left George's private room. "They intend to ask for my help? Without finding out any information about me first. How stupid!" George laughed softly as he shook his head. "Oh my god. How ridiculous! Asking for my help to kill me," he continued. George went back to enjoying his coffee. He thought it would be exciting to surprise them, and at the same time, he would get revenge for the destruction of his family. "Alright. I'll make them wait first, then I'll give them an interesting surprise," said George with a slight smile.Latest Chapter

Niccole touched George’s forehead and found that he had a fever. Perhaps it was because his wound had been left untreated for too long. Niccole then hurried to get a small towel to apply a compress to George’s forehead to bring down his fever.Niccole checked George’s temperature and found that his fever was over 38°C.“Geo needs to take some medicine to bring down his fever,” Niccole muttered.Niccole first tended to the wound on George’s back, applying pain-relieving ointment. After that, she tried to wake George up so he could take his fever medicine.“Geo, take your medicine first so your pain goes away; then you can go back to sleep,” Niccole instructed.But George ignored Niccole and stayed asleep. Perhaps the dizziness made him choose to sleep instead.Niccole sighed. George still had to take the medicine so his fever wouldn’t get worse, so she boldly popped the pill directly into his mouth.“What did you put in my mouth? Why is it so bitter?” George woke up suddenly. His head

George sat in his office chair with his eyes closed. He had managed to get rid of that lowly traitor, but he was absolutely certain that the damn president would create more trouble until he was forced to fall to his knees and submit to him. But that was impossible; he would never submit to a leader who was in the wrong.“Do whatever you want, you damn bald man! I won’t submit to you,” George growled inwardly.“Commander, you’re truly amazing. You can easily spot someone who’s betraying us,” Gavi said admiringly.“It’s not that hard, Gavi.” George replied, his eyes still closed. Seeing this, Gavi sensed that his superior was exhausted. These past few days, he hadn’t had a proper chance to rest.“Commander, you should just go home. It seems like you need some rest. You haven’t rested properly for three days; I’ll handle the work issues at headquarters,” Gavi said.George opened his eyes and gave Gavi a faint smile. It seemed he really did need rest; his body was utterly exhausted, and

George smiled as he saw one of them tense up. Clearly, that was the real traitor.George glared at him; how dare anyone betray him. He wouldn’t give a traitor a chance—he hated traitors more than anything.“How dare anyone betray me! It seems I haven’t been firm enough in my leadership since there are still those trying to betray me. I hate traitors the most, no matter what the reason!” George growled, which only made them even more terrified.George noticed one of them clenching both fists; his face looked annoyed, but it seemed he still wouldn’t back down from his stance and was trying to find a way to protect himself.“Vero, what’s wrong with you? Why are your fists clenched like that? You don’t seem to like what I’m saying,” said George, making Vero look nervous.“You might be mistaken, Commander. I wouldn’t dare defy you,” Vero replied, trying to stay calm.“You certainly wouldn’t dare defy me directly, but that doesn’t mean you wouldn’t dare to be a traitor,” George retorted.“W

George asked Gavi to help him find ingredients for an antidote. It wasn’t just Gavi; several people who hadn’t been poisoned also helped George search for those ingredients.Some ingredients were hard to come by, usually found in dangerous places like forbidden forests or cliff edges. For those high-risk ingredients, George decided to search for them himself; he had to take full responsibility without putting others in danger.“There are a few key ingredients I have to find myself, because the locations are quite dangerous. While I’m gone, make sure those who’ve been poisoned receive the best care. I’ll do my best to quickly obtain the key ingredients for the antidote,” George explained.“Commander, you can’t go alone.” Gavi certainly couldn’t let his superior take on the danger by himself.“Commander, it’s better if I’m the one who goes to find the ingredients in that dangerous place; you’re needed much more here. I’m worried something might happen to you,” said Gavi.“No, Gavi, I do

The orphanage director bowed his head. It wasn’t the first time George had helped this orphanage; he was practically a major donor there, providing money, food, clothing, and other supplies almost every month. Usually, when George was very busy, Gavi or Liam would take over the task of delivering aid to the orphanage.Only this time had George assigned the task to an ordinary subordinate—without his supervision.“Let’s investigate this matter together; I will take full responsibility. Whether this is my fault or not, I will still help the victims,” George said firmly.Actually, George had already suspected this problem would inevitably arise; he had intentionally made sure the bald man focused solely on the fact that he was buying a lot of food for the orphanage, without realizing that he had been aiding a village located in that damned president’s territory.“Alright. Let’s investigate this together. I’ll gather some of the staff who weren’t poisoned so they can provide an explanatio

The village chief and several villagers immediately approached George with worried expressions.“Commander, do you have an urgent matter? You’re free to leave. It seems many villagers here have already recovered, and conditions here are much better now. Don’t let that man tarnish your reputation if you stay here,” said the village chief.George gave a faint smile, as the village chief here was very understanding and wise. He was quite impressed with the leader of this village.“Thank you. But it seems only my assistant and I will be leaving. The rest of the team has been assigned to stay here, as many villagers are still sick and the situation isn’t yet stable,” replied George.“Thank you, Commander. You’re still concerned about this village, even though you have issues of your own to handle,” said the village chief’s wife.“It’s fine. They just want to tarnish my reputation; it’s not a big deal. They don’t have strong evidence to bring me down,” said George.George still looked very
