The man landed on the ground, he raised his hand and signaled his troop to stop.
It felt like time and space was at a halt.
It was instantly quiet, so quiet that it was terrifying.
The man didn’t say anything. He raised his head and looked at the shocked and tongue-tied people in front of the Martin family’s house entrance staring at him.
He took large strides and walked towards the crowd. The warriors stared at his back. This was their god, the legend of the H Country.
And it was nobody else but the son-in-law of the Clark family, Andrew Stone!
Andrew stopped in front of Asher. Asher was still in a daze and was out of it.
Emily and everyone from the Martin family were stunned! Nobody could recover from this shock.
After a long while, Asher finally snapped out of it. His face was changing colors as he looked at Andrew and asked, “Who in the world are you?”
“What do you think? Who do you think I am?” asked Andrew casually.
And then, a strong man walked over.
The domineering man took large strides and the moment he walked over, the atmosphere inside the Martin family turned even heavier.
He stopped at the entrance and looked around. In the end, he locked his gaze at Asher, who was also wearing an army uniform.
Asher was scared to death. He quickly stood up straight and saluted with a stern face.
He yelled, “Northwest Subregion Deputy Commander, Asher Turner, here!”
Junior was the Deputy Commander of the Northwest Region. He was from the mysterious and powerful Seven League. He was well-known.
And Asher was only a Deputy Commander of a Subregion. Their status was too far apart.
Asher might not know Andrew, but he couldn’t not recognize the Four-star Deputy Commander from the battlefield ! He was indirectly his superior!
Everyone thought that Asher, the Three-star Deputy Commander was crazy powerful enough, but there was someone with an even higher status than him!
Junior ignored him and stood in front of Emily. He held a box and bowed 90 degrees, he said, “The Deputy Commander of Northwest Region, Junior Phillips. I am here under the command of the Commander to celebrate your birthday, madam. May you be forever young and here’s a thousand years old ginseng!”
Emily’s expression changed slightly, she turned her head and looked at Andrew.
Andrew was smiling plainly as usual. There wasn’t much change in expression on his face.
The Deputy Commander of Northwest Region called her madam. Was Andrew really his superior?
Madam, it was a very respectful way of referring to someone. It wasn’t for anybody.
Then, what position did Andrew really hold?
Emily didn’t know, and nobody here knew anything either. Only Asher was trembling violently inside!
The person whom Junior was referring to as Madam, who else could it be but the god of war’s wife?
Junior finished his sentence and put the thousand years old ginseng on the table next to Emily with no expression on his face. He then backed away.
The people were still in a state of shock while the other Deputy Commanders went up one by one, presenting their gifts.
The Deputy Commanders, when not together, each existed to suppress the other. And every single one of them was here today.
And they were here to do the same thing that was to give their wishes to Emily and present her gifts.
Who in the world was Andrew?
Everyone couldn’t get their mind straight, no matter how they couldn’t comprehend the situation before them.
Asher was sweating relentlessly. The Deputy Commander of the Northwest Region was enough to make him tremble, but now 5 of them were here. They were standing side by side as if a war was going to start anytime.
He couldn’t stand it anymore, he stuttered, “Well, well, my good sirs, I didn’t know that the Martin family was related to my good sirs. If I were to know, I, I wouldn’t have come here today. My good sirs, I’ll, I’ll be taking my leave.”
He was suffocating just standing next to them!
As Asher was trying to run away, Andrew yelled sternly, “Stand there!”
Just with two words, Asher planted his feet in the ground.
