Chapter 361 Admiring The New General

Miles’s hand froze mid–air as he instinctively reached for the water bottle. He stared at Ken in disbelief, stammering, “G- Grandpa?”

Ken nodded confidently, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. “Of course! You’re Raven’s grandpa, which makes you my grandpa too!”

“Lieutenant Colonel Moore, what’s your relationship with Raven?”

A faint blush appeared on Ken’s sunny, handsome face. “We made a lifelong promise to each other four years ago.” “Well, it was mostly one–sided. She gave me a good beating back then, but didn’t outright deny it. If you think about it, that should be a yes, right?”

First things first–win over Miles. As for Raven, Ken was confident in his charm and good looks.

Ken’s words completely stunned Miles. Even the pain from his wounds seemed to fade away for a moment.

Ken noticed the unreadable look in Miles’s eyes and suddenly felt a bit uneasy. “Grandpa, you’re not unhappy with me, are you?”

Miles slowly withdrew his gaze. After a moment of hesitation, he looked at Ken with a complicated expression and said,” Whatever happens between you and Raven is up to her.

“However, if you two end up together, I hope you’ll do everything you can to ensure she never gets hurt.” He never thought his granddaughter would fall for someone so soon, let alone someone like Ken.

But no matter who his granddaughter liked, he wouldn’t interfere. He only hoped to do his part in making her life happier, not become an obstacle in her path.

“Grandpa, don’t worry. If anyone dares to mess with her, I’ll protect her no matter what. Even if it costs me my life!” Hearing this, a faint smile of relief appeared on Miles’s face.

Just then, a voice tinged with amusement came from the doorway. “Captain Henderson, seems like I’ve come at a bad time.” A man in his fifties, dressed in a deep green suit and exuding refined elegance, walked into the room at a measured pace. Miles’s smile disappeared instantly, replaced by a cold, imposing presence that seemed to freeze his surroundings. Ken’s brows furrowed slightly, his expression darkening. ‘How did he get here so quickly?‘

He had assumed Lionel was stationed at the Southwest Military Headquarters, which would take him at least three hours to arrive. But to his surprise, Lionel seemed to have been nearby. He arrived in thirty minutes.

Indeed, the man who entered the hospital room was Lionel, a Mid–Class Warrior who had been fast–tracked to Brigadier- General. His kill count was on the verge of surpassing a thousand, largely thanks to Miles’s contributions.

Ken stood up from his seat upon seeing him. But instead of saluting or greeting Lionel, he chuckled lightly and said, ” Brigadier–General Fleming, your timing is impeccable.”

Lionel didn’t seem to mind Ken’s lack of courtesy or indifferent tone. With a calm smile, he said, “I’m here to clear up some misunderstandings with Captain Henderson and to invite both of you to tomorrow morning’s commendation ceremony.” Miles felt a wave of unease rising in his chest at those words. “What commendation ceremony?” he asked, his voice laced with suspicion.

Lionel’s refined smile took on a smug edge as he replied, “An hour ago, my kill count officially broke a thousand. Commander Bradley has decided to hold a commendation ceremony for me tomorrow morning.”

Miles’s fists clenched tightly at those words. The force was so intense that his knuckles cracked audibly, the sound cutting through the tense atmosphere.

Lionel’s words were practically a direct admission that he had stolen Miles’s battle achievements. Lionel was honored with a ceremony personally organized by Commander Bradley, one of the military’s top leaders whom Miles deeply admired. He couldn’t accept this.
