Macy had always been the one to drive Sylvia around, but this time, she was pretending to be the wife of the God of War. She even ordered Sylvia to drive her.
The armored soldiers could not hold back from laughing when they saw Macy giving orders to Sylvia.
"Hurry up and get in the car. I'll send both of you back," Macy said to Willow and Zoey.
Both Willow and Zoey followed without hesitation.
Sylvia then drove the car to Riverside Villa.
The armored battalion also got into a car of their own and escorted Sylvia's car.
"Are you really the God of War's wife?" Willow asked again when she was inside the car.
Something did not feel right, but she could not put it into words.
"Why? Don't I look like her?" Macy asked. She had already immersed herself in the role of the God of War's wife.
In fact, when she first met Caspian, she felt that she and Caspian were a match made in heaven.
"Are you tricking us, Macy? I don't think you look like the God of War's wife," Zoey asked.
"Why? Are you doubting me as well?" Macy asked. She was getting annoyed that neither of them believed her.
"Aren't you Caspian's subordinate? If you're working for him, how did you suddenly become the God of War's wife?" Zoey asked.
Macy was momentarily stunned but fortunately for her, she was quick-witted.
"I really am the God of War's wife even though my position may not be as high as Caspian's. Moreover, he made many contributions during wars. So, even though he's only a general officer, his position is higher than that of an ordinary officer.
"It's also true that I'm his subordinate." Macy made up a random reason.
If they kept questioning her, she would be exposed.
Sylvia smirked. She was in the driver's seat as she listened to Macy with her blatant lies.
…
In less than half an hour, Sylvia had arrived at Riverside Villa.
When Willow and Zoey were about to enter the villa, Macy blurted, "Stop! Don't enter the villa!"
Both of them were momentarily stunned. They looked at Macy.
Even though she was the God of War's wife, she had no authority to interfere with their plans.
"Something's not right about the villa. Look at the lawn. It looks like someone walked on it," Macy said with her brows knitted together.
Sylvia and the armored battalion instantly became vigilant after hearing what Macy said.
They took their weapons out, getting themselves ready for any potential ambush.
Macy had been fighting in South Aridlands. She had good insight as well. She would not have said such things lightly.
"The villa seems fine. What could be wrong?" Willow was momentarily stunned. She felt slightly uneasy. She did not see anything unusual about the lawn as well.
Having just experienced an assassination, everywhere felt unsafe to her.
Sylvia could not afford to be careless either. She suddenly thought of the fact that she had brought everyone with her when they left the villa. Nobody had stayed behind to do patrolling.
There was a possibility that their enemy might have sneaked in during that period!
"Protect Willow and retreat!" Sylvia ordered.
Macy escorted Willow and Zoey into the car.
Sylvia started the car again and began to reverse.
The armored battalion did the same as well.
When they had retreated about a hundred meters away, Sylvia asked Macy, "Tell me, what's going on?" She also had the feeling that something was not quite right.
"A woman's sixth sense is often very accurate," Macy said.
"But we're women too. Why didn't we notice anything?" Zoey asked in a confused tone.
"Macy, go and take a look. I'll be here protecting Willow," Sylvia instructed.
"Got it!" Macy nodded.
