“When I helped you back then, I didn't expect you to repay me. All I wanted to do was lessen your burden so that you could focus on serving the country. Now, take a look at what you're doing. Is this what you're supposed to do? Also, are you sure you want to chase me away? If that's what you want to do, go ahead!”
Upon hearing that, Stefan was so frightened that he dropped to his knees and answered, “I wouldn't dare!”
Since neither Anson nor Stefan dared to disrespect Hansel, their soldiers didn't dare either.
Yuvan was dumbstruck by what he saw. I've already vowed to take the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor down!
He was getting anxious after seeing neither Anson nor Stefan could bring Hansel away. Hence, he opened his mouth, wanting to order someone else to handle the task.
However, the moment he wanted to give his orders, Hansel had already turned his attention toward him.
In a cold tone, Hansel said, “Yuvan, what happened back then when the Brimmopolis Capital Garrison was sending soldiers to training? I remember you were dismissed because you have short-sightedness, and you've also failed your written test. Who noticed your exemplary results in other military training programs and got the academy to accept you?”
Yuvan widened his eyes when he heard that. “It was you, Mr. Windsor,” he replied subconsciously.
Hansel nodded. “When you wanted to get married, you were a poor soldier while your wife was a daughter of a rich and prominent family. Back then, your wife's family wasn't willing to let you marry their daughter, right? Who intervened, gave you his blessings, and witnessed your wedding so that you could marry your wife?”
“It was you, Mr. Windsor. If you didn't help me back then, I wouldn't have been able to marry my wife.”
Hansel nodded and added, “When your wife was giving birth to your first child, she was having difficulties, and the doctors had no idea what to do. When the lives of your wife and your child were at risk, who got the royal physician to help with the delivery so that they were both safe in the end?”
