George stepped out for a moment because Gavi had called him earlier. George couldn't possibly take Gavi's call in front of Alexa and Niccole, especially since he was trying to hide his identity.

Liam also introduced himself as George's friend, not as his subordinate, to Alexa and Niccole.

"Liam, it looks like Geo is taking an important call. Does he have to go back to America?" asked Alexa.

Liam scratched his head, which wasn't itchy. He didn't know who was calling his boss.

"I don't know who called George either," Liam replied with an awkward chuckle.

Of course Liam felt awkward, because he wasn't used to calling his boss by his first name directly.

"I thought you saw who called Geo earlier," Alexa said with a chuckle.

Suddenly, George appeared at the door. "Liam, can you come with me for a moment? I need to talk to you about something." Liam nodded and immediately went over to George.

"You two take a break. We're going out for a bit," George ordered.

The two of them left Alexa and Niccole behind.

"Niccole, did you see Geo's face? He looked tense, like he was in trouble," Alexa said with a worried look on her face.

Niccole smiled at Alexa, then gently rubbed her head. "You don't need to worry about things you don't need to worry about. Your brother is not a weak man. Right now, all you need to think about is your recovery."

Alexa sighed with a sad expression.

"If Geo has problems with his work, plus he has to take care of me in my condition, I feel sad. I'm just adding to his problems," Alexa said softly.

"Oh my God, Alexa. I'm your family too, right? So don't think I'm not here. If Geo is busy with work, I'll take care of you," Niccole replied.

Alexa looked at Niccole with teary eyes, then hugged her.

"Thank you. You're so kind to me," Alexa murmured.

On the other hand.

George invited Liam to talk in the hospital cafeteria while eating, because George knew Liam must be very hungry.

"Can you take care of Alexa and Niccole for me for two days? I have to go see someone," asked George.

"You mean, I'll take care of them here and you'll go back to America first to see someone?" Liam asked George for clarification.

"No. I'm going to meet someone in Hougang," George replied with a slight smile.

Seeing George's smile, Liam became suspicious that this had something to do with Charlotte.

"Does this have anything to do with Mrs. Charlotte?" Liam asked.

"She invited me to come, so I have to meet her," George replied.

"What do you mean, commander? I don't quite understand. Isn't she trying to kill you? Why would she suddenly invite you to come?" asked Liam.

"I just want to surprise them and come at their invitation," replied George with a chuckle.

"Your job for now is just to protect the two women until I return here," he continued.

"Don't you need a bodyguard?" Liam was naturally concerned about his boss's safety.

"What for? I'm not coming to fight. But I might bring Gavi with me," said George.

"All right." Liam seemed resigned to George's decision.

Liam was sure his boss had made the right decision and would not leave without a good reason.

"Tomorrow I'll talk to Alexa," George muttered.

"It seems difficult for you to leave your sister again, especially since you just met Alexa," replied Liam.

"It is difficult, but I still have to go. Besides, Alexa won't be sad because Niccole is with her," replied George.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of Alexa and that woman," said Liam.

"Thank you, Liam," George said with a slight smile.

The next morning.

Niccole had just helped wipe Alexa's body and change her clothes.

Soon after, George and Liam arrived.

"Breakfast for you," said George as he handed the paper bag to Niccole.

"Thank you," Niccole said as she accepted the paper bag from George.

George sat in the chair next to Alexa.

"Alexa, how are you feeling? Do you still have any pain or dizziness?" asked George.

"No, Geo. It's just that I still can't walk," replied Alexa with a slight smile.

"Don't worry about that. Just focus on your therapy and you'll get better. And don't think about anything else. I just want you to focus on your recovery," said George firmly.

"Thank you, Geo." Alexa looked happy and hugged George.

George gently stroked Alexa's back.

Alexa let go of the hug.

"Alexa, I have to go away for a few days for work. Liam will stay here to take care of you both. Don't be mad at me for leaving," said George.

Alexa's smile immediately disappeared. It turned out that George really did have work issues.

"Will you let me go?" asked George.

"I promise it won't be long," he continued.

Alexa sighed. Now George had a big responsibility. If he didn't carry out his boss's orders, he would definitely be fired from his job.

"I can't stop you either. Now you have a big responsibility. But promise me you'll come back safely. We just got together, Geo," Alexa replied softly.

"I promise I won't be long," George replied with a smile.

"When are you leaving?" asked Alexa.

"I'm leaving soon," replied George.

"What did your boss order you to do? Is it serious?" Alexa couldn't help but be curious, and of course she was worried about George's safety.

"Just taking care of useless people. You don't need to worry, I'll be fine," said George, stroking Alexa's head.

"I believe in you, Geo. Come home safely," Alexa said, holding back her tears.

Shortly after, Gavi contacted George to say he was already at the hospital George had instructed him to go to.

George kissed Alexa's forehead briefly, then left.

"Geo, wait!" Niccole called out.

George, who was already in the hospital parking lot, had to stop in his tracks and go back to Niccole.

"What do you need?" asked George.

"Go home safely, without a scratch. Alexa will be waiting for you, and so will I, waiting for your answer," replied Niccole, lowering her head.

"Yes, I will definitely return safely." After saying that, George left again and got into Gavi's car.

Niccole continued to watch until the car was no longer visible. She was increasingly convinced that George could help her.

Elsewhere.

Charlotte invited several of her business associates and threw a lavish party for her important guests.

"Remember, we all have to make the warlord happy with us. This very luxurious welcome must impress him," said Charlotte.

"You're right, dear," replied Gerry, putting his arm around his wife's waist.

"We just have to wait a few more hours," said Charlotte with a happy expression.

"Finally, I can get rid of those two damn kids and follow their mother to hell. I'm sure that after I get help from the strongest warlord, George will die quickly," Charlotte said to herself with a slight smile.

"Oh my god, honey, his assistant has contacted me to say they will arrive here soon," said Gerry.

Charlotte asked her entire family to welcome the special guest. They waited near the door.

Soon after, the door opened, and someone entered. They all bowed respectfully, but when they saw the person's face, they were stunned, as if they couldn't believe their eyes.

    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

    George turned off his phone to focus more on handling the village’s issues. He certainly couldn’t resolve them all at once, but he would ensure that each problem was resolved one by one.That damn president sent a message. Saying that his reputation was about to be ruined, but George chose not to respond. He already knew the direction of that bald man’s devious plan.“He’s completely unfit to be president. Just because I didn’t bow to his rules, he’s so eager to destroy me,” George thought to himself with a faint smile. “We’ll see if he’s really capable or not.”They had arrived at the village, where many residents’ conditions were worsening. Upon seeing the three private jets, they looked overjoyed. With enthusiasm, the villagers immediately rushed toward the jets.Fortunately, the village area was accessible to their private jets.George immediately ordered the medical staff to treat the sick villagers and instructed his men to distribute food and clean water to the residents.“Than

    George saw Liam, who was already in the living room chatting with Alexa and Niccole.“Liam, have you been waiting long?” George asked as he sat down next to Alexa.“Not too long, but it looks like we need to leave soon because there’s a little problem,” Liam replied.“Another problem?” George asked.Liam gave George a signal to check his phone. George understood the signal Liam had given him.“It doesn’t seem like a big problem, but we still need to leave right away, before it turns into a big one,” Liam replied.“Alright, I understand.”George took out his phone and read Liam’s message carefully. However, he tried to stay calm since Alexa and Niccole were still there.He instructed Gavi to carry out his plan. They must not know that the food and clean water were intended for that village. The two spies had to be fed false information.“Geo, is there another problem?” Alexa asked with a worried expression."It’s okay, Alexa. It’s still about that village suffering from drought—we have

    George gave a faint smile; he had now arrived at his rental home. He couldn’t wait to see Alexa.George reached out to knock on the door, and shortly afterward, it opened.“Geo,” Niccole whispered.Niccole looked at George with concern, especially since he looked a complete mess. His face was a little pale and dirty, because George hadn’t had time to shower or change his clothes.“Are you okay?” Niccole asked, her face full of concern.“I’m fine. I just haven’t showered in a few days, so I look a mess. I came straight home after my shift. I’ve missed Alexa—where is she?”Just as Niccole was about to answer, George spotted Alexa. He kept watching Alexa, who was now able to walk normally, without needing a wheelchair anymore.His heart ached, because he hadn’t been able to be there for Alexa’s recovery process.“Alexa!” George called out.Alexa, hearing her name, immediately turned toward George; she was very surprised to see him already at home.Alexa ran straight over and hugged Georg

    Liam felt like it had been more than two hours, but he hesitated to wake George, especially since his boss looked like he was sleeping soundly, exhausted as he was.“I’d better wait until the commander wakes up on his own,” Liam muttered, scratching his head even though it wasn’t itchy.George opened his eyes. He looked at Liam with a faint smile. “You were hesitant to wake me up? Even though I’ve told you, for now, consider me a friend, not your boss.”George felt much better, even though he hadn’t completely shaken off his fatigue.He’d had more than enough rest. It was time to get back to the fight; many citizens were counting on him, and were confident that he and his team could resolve their problems.“Even though you said that, I’m still hesitant and can’t bring myself to wake you up. Your fatigue only increased because you helped me find food. You walked all the way from that forest just to come back and see me,” Liam replied with a sad expression.“Don’t worry about it. No mat
