Chapter 1276 Extra Story 31 Of Edgar The Rival in Love (1/2)
”Go home and stay with your mom today,” William urged. ”She heard that you were back, and keeps asking me when you are coming home. So, relax for now.”
”Yes, sir!” Maggie responded with a salute. She turned around and walked out of William's office.
A small smile appeared on William's face and he murmured to himself, ”It's going to be noisy at home today.”

”Sir, what do you think?” the captain asked the bald lieutenant general in front of him.
The lieutenant general looked far into the distance through the window, with his hands clasped behind his back. His beer belly easily touched the glass window. He squinted at the soldiers receiving training in the grounds. Slowly, he spoke to the captain, ”I didn't think Edgar would make it out alive. It was an unexpected outcome. We made it sound like an effortless mission so that he would underestimate his enemy. But he turned to Brian Long for help.” He had failed to predict that. After all, too many other factors were involved.
”How about we reveal to the officials about what Edgar had done?” the captain suggested with an evil smirk.
The lieutenant general shook his head in disagreement. ”What difference would it make?” He paused to think about what had happened, then continued, ”Brian is a reliable person. So, why did he turn to Eric for help?” He turned around to look at his subordinate, waiting for his explanation.
The captain looked confused.
The lieutenant general smiled and explained, ”Let's assume that some confidential information of the Dragon Empire Group and the Dragon Island's National Congress was also leaked.
If that was the case, then everything that happened was just a coincidence. Both sides just happened to encounter each other on the way from the data bank. So, they offered each other a helping hand. In times of crisis, it's natural for acquaintances to provide assistance.
Although such a coincidence is highly unlikely, considering Dragon Island's reputation, it is inappropriate to lie to the Ruler of the Dragon Island. But, considering Edgar's competence and his high level of intelligence, it is also possible that he was counting on such a coincidence.
So, it's better if we avoid offending people with power and getting ourselves into trouble.” The lieutenant general patted his subordinate's shoulder when he saw his disappointed look. ”Don't worry. We will find lots of opportunities in the future. Haste makes waste. We should wait patiently, young man.”
”Yes, sir!”
”You may leave now.” He waved his subordinate off. The captain saluted and left the office. After the door was shut, the lieutenant general quickly dialed a number on his private phone. When the call connected, he spoke without any greeting, ”What are you going to do to fix this issue?”
