Chapter 162: Back To That Key Moment

Shang Ke led the soldiers to the countryside for real-time combat training that would last a month. Before they left, he made many desserts and delicious sauces to help Rhine get by this lonely month.

Rhine stayed in the empty mansion, eating desserts dipped in jam with a grave expression and distant eyes. Those not in the know-how would have thought he was thinking about some important matters of the country when he was just actually moody because he missed a certain someone.

In his memories, Filmore and him were always acting together. No matter if it was combat on the border or a special mission. Most of his time now was spent in the capital while Filmore still needed to lead the soldiers out once in a while.

Although they were not separated for long, every time they were, he would always feel flustered and wished he could tie the man to his side. But due to his desire to trust and respect the other, Rhine did not act on his own and move Filmore to a civilian post. Besides, he would rather fight together with him on a battlefield than to be here with a group of morally grey schemers.

Without his lover by his side, Rhine’s eyes turned into sweepers that viewed everyone as corpses. Those who were stared at by him, all felt their hair stand on their ends, like their life would soon cease to be.

I really want to just massacre them all… A greatly bored Rhine sat within the command room full of immaculately dressed senior military officers as dangerous thoughts flickered through his mind.

Everyone in the command room all shivered. They would recently all feel a chill, they really wondered why…

Rhine refused a couple invitations from officers after the meeting and had his adjutant send him straight home.

 
The car was halfway home when a figure suddenly rushed out from the sidewalk. The adjutant immediately slammed his foot down on the brake and felt a slight collision followed by the cries and toppling of that person.

“Go take a look.” Rhine ordered.

The adjutant obeyed and made his way to that person, who he discovered to be a young omega. He bent down to help him up and asked, “How are you? Did you get hurt?”

 
That omega raised his head, revealing a familiar face. He was that cousin of Filmore that came to ask for his father’s release, Tylo.

“So it’s you? Why did you suddenly rush out? Is someone chasing you? Did you get hurt anywhere?” The adjutant asked several questions.

Tylo held his waist as pain colored his face. But his eyes would occasionally shift to the person in the backseat.

“I think I injured my waist.” Tylo tearfully looked at the adjutant.

   
“Please wait a moment.” The adjutant got back up to report to Rhine and ask how he should handle this.

“Call the hospital to come get him.” Rhine coldly ordered. “I’ll pay his medical fees.”

With the adjutant’s driving skills and reaction speed, at most it would have given him a scrape and nothing serious. Moreover, he was also the one to rush out onto the road. He thought back to Gerald’s case and can say for sure today wasn’t a coincidence.

In respect to Filmore, he allowed Gerald to be released on bail but did not lighten his criminal charge. According to normal procedures, Gerald should be sentenced to a minimum of three years and a maximum of seven years of jail time.

When Tylo heard him, he stealthily pricked himself on the waist with a needle hidden in his ring. His eyes rolled over and he fainted on the spot.

“Eh? Tylo, Tylo?” The adjutant did a tentative check and confirmed that he really did faint. He looked toward Rhine for instructions again.
