Chapter 747
Tanya sat down with a frown on her face.
"Did that fool gamble in billiards again?" The smile on James's face immediately disappeared and was
replaced with a scowl. His son became increasingly unreliable as of late. Timothy had been messing
around with Young Master Leo and was neglecting his work.
"I don't care how many billiards games he wants to bet on. We went out with Fane to enjoy billiards
today, but Young Master Leo stirred trouble with us. Not only did Timothy refuse to stand on Fane's
side, but he even fired Fane despite my persuasion and warning! Now that Fane's gone, it's almost
certain he won't be coming back!” Tanya seethed in rage as she spoke, though her readily lovable face
made her look cute even as she was angry.novelbin
"Fired?" James' face darkened when he heard this. "What happened? Why did this idiot fire Fane? Tell
me everything."
Tanya nodded and told her father, James everything that had happened.
James pounded the table angrily. "That rascal! I told him so many times that Fane's more than just a
regular soldier, that he's at least a King of War. Told him it'd be best for us to be in his good graces...!
Now I'm mad at him for firing Fane!"
"Agreed, Father. Master Turner brought a marshal with him to challenge Fane, but they eventually
conceded defeat when they discovered the marshal was no match for Fane. In the end, they had to pay
Fane a billion bucks!"
If even a marshal is no match for Fane, he's definitely a King of War. I wonder how many stars he has!"
Spectre Face sighed with a frown on his face. "Fane is someone who holds himself with dignity and
doesn't go against his own words. Now that Young Master Timothy fired him, it’s impossible t o ask him
to return!"
"What was our young master thinking when he sided with Leo Turner? That's not a good person!" said
another middle-aged man with a frown. “Still, I'm sure Fane is a generous person and won't hold
grudges against such a small issue. It's a big loss for us that we've fired such a great fighter!"
“Fane is one-of-a-kind. Nobody knew what he's really made of as he kept his identity and power
hidden. We all thought that he was just a head commander!" Another elder started smiling bitterly.
“Surely Timothy wouldn't have fired him if the fight took place first. Safe to say, our young master
must've thought Fane was all bark but no bite before he could witness his power."
James’ expression darkened. "Talking about this right now doesn't benefit us! There are lots of people
out there that like t o stay low-key!" He recalled something and asked, "Do you know why the Taylor
family was requested years ago to send a young man to join the army?"
The elderly man frowned. "I'm not very clear about what happened back then, but what I do know is
that the Taylor family was requested to send a young man older than eighteen to join the military.
"At that time, everybody knew that only Ivan Taylor met this requirement!" The elder smiled bitterly.
"Nobody knew Old Master Taylor could be such a calculative man. He found Fane and married him to
Selena. With that done, this son-in-law joined the ranks in Ivan's stead as he met the requirements as
well."
James nodded. "That’s right. Everybody knew how dangerous the situation was. It was a life-and-death
matter, and young masters like Ivan Taylor weren't suited to b e in that situation. Ivan wouldn't have
survived any battles if he was the one enlisted.
"Old Master Taylor is so smart to have come up with that idea, but he never thought Ms. Selena would
sleep with Fane o n the night of their wedding, and that Fane would return alive five years later!"
An elder then recalled something and asked, "Why was the Taylor family appointed a position in the
beginning? It’s uncommon for this to happen! Was it possible that they offended someone
powerful?"
