God of Gamblers was still smirking. He folded all the cards and spread them with one hand. Instantaneously the cards became a neat fan. He raised the fan of cards with the back facing Cora and then said, "I'll answer your question if you can pick the ace of spades from these cards."
Cora glanced at the cards briefly and pulled one out. It was none other than the ace of spades!
God of Gamblers was satisfied with the result. Even though she didn't pay attention to the cards in his hands, she could still see through the trick he played.
"You should make full use of your talent in the gambling house rather than the battlefield!" he said in a stern tone. Then he raised his head and let out a laugh. On his way to the door, he said, "Cora, think it through carefully. I'm going to Dragon Island tomorrow. You'd better be going with me, otherwise..." He stopped walking and turned back to look at Cora, who was staring at him. Then he added with bitterness, "Then I'll never get involved in the business between you and Brian. Even if he hurts you, I won't help you anymore. Do you understand?"
He left the room when he finished what he said. Looking at his retreating figure, Cora clenched her teeth out of anger. She was too proud to go on pestering Brian, mainly since Brian chose to stay away from her to avoid her. Besides, she hadn't reconciled with him yet. If she weren't in a coma for so many years, maybe now everything would be different.
People in pain always had a longer night than those in joy. However, time is the only unbiased thing for everyone. No matter if one is rich or poor, happy, or unhappy, it's the same for everyone.
The dawn twilight broke the night scattering a dim light all about, and the exercise trumpet sounded. Soon it grew louder as the golden orb reached the horizon with its new sunrise inspiring the soldiers to get up with the promise of a new day.
Daniel was leaning on the army barricade climbing pole with a dog's tail grass hanging from his mouth. He watched the Falcon Commandos training, and his eyebrows creased together.
Red Falcon looked back at him, then signaled to the team to continue training themselves. He then strode over to Daniel, and after giving him a salute, he said, "What are you thinking about, captain?"
"I'm thinking about the task assigned by our leader. I'm afraid we can't finish it."
As the captain and vice-captain of Falcon Commando, Daniel and Red Falcon had established a strong friendship after going through so many battles and practices together, so they had nothing to hide from each other.
"Oh, there is one thing I'm really curious about."
Red Falcon sat on the chain and added, "What's your brother-in-law's real identity?" As a member of the commando, Red Falcon naturally had both a strong body and a clear head.
Daniel cast a glance at him and answered, "I don't know either. The only thing I know is that he is a capable man. He can achieve anything he wants."
