Chapter 338

For someone to become a general at the age of 28, in the entire 5000 years of Andura's history, it was a commendable achievement. Even though Alan was an annoying person, his talents were admirable. If Cameron could achieve the state of martial master at the same age, Lena would be genuinely happy for him. At the thought of this, she couldn't help but sigh loudly. "What's the matter, Colonel Bailey? What made you sigh?" Cameron asked, puzzled. Taking a look at him, she answered, "Sometimes, I wish you're not bragging. Then, maybe one day you'll have what it takes to compete with the Xander family." Cameron's eyes glinted when he realized what Lena was concerned about. He was touched, and his eyes crinkled warmly as he smiled. "Thanks for your concern, Colonel Bailey." "You seem to be taking it easy." Seeing that the smile had returned to his face, Lena shook her head softly. Smiling, Cameron explained no more and said instead, "Let's go back, Colonel Bailey." "Okay." She nodded gently. … Back at Aquarine Residence, Cameron said to Lord Blackheart with a smile, "Blackheart, please drop Colonel Bailey home." "Sure, Mr. Morgan," Lord Blackheart replied politely. "I'm going now. Thanks for the ride," Cameron thanked, opening the car door before hopping out. Without wasting a second, he headed for the apartment building and entered No. 302. Meanwhile, Dakota was pacing around the living room anxiously. Several times, she wanted to dash out and look for Cameron, but every time, Charles stopped her. "Are you sure Cameron is fine, Captain Jordan? He's been gone for almost two hours!" Dakota faced Charles, her heart torn with anxiety. "Don't worry, Ms. Jennings. With Lord Blackheart by his side, Mr. Morgan will be fine," Charles offered her words of comfort. Dakota breathed out heavily. Even though she knew that Lord Blackheart was around, the Zimmers had a general from the military on their side this time. In addition, Cameron had killed Max's grandson, Kelvin. Undoubtedly, the Zimmers would extract their revenge from Cameron in a frenzy. At the thought of the brutal methods they would execute on Cameron and the incredibly bloody scene, Dakota turned pale and decided that she couldn't sit around anymore. "Captain Jordan, please take me to the Zimmers'. I'm begging you!" she pleaded. Should Cameron be in trouble, she would beg them to let him go—if that was what it took—even at the cost of her life! Charles seemed to be in a dilemma. "Ms. Jennings, Mr. Morgan has instructed—" "Captain Jordan, take it as a plea from me! Please take me to the Zimmers'!" Tears welled up in her eyes, and she wanted to drop to her knees. "Ms. Jennings, please don't do this!" Charles rushed to help her up as he trembled in surprise; she was Cameron's girlfriend! "Captain, please take me to the Zimmers', then." "But…" Charles was caught between a tight spot—on one side, Cameron had given him instructions, but on another hand, Dakota was pleading with him. It was at this moment that Cameron's voice echoed from the door, "Dakota, I'm back!" Dakota quivered and paused. After a few seconds, she jerked her head to look at the door. The moment she saw Cameron's face, tears welled up in her eyes. "Cameron!" "Mr. Morgan!" Charles' eyes lit up, and he released Dakota. "I'm back, Dakota. Sorry that I caused you worry." Wearing a warm expression, Cameron paced toward her. "Cameron…" she choked. For a minute earlier, she thought she would never see him again. Seeing that he had appeared before her again, she forgot about the presence of everyone else around and dashed into his arms. With arms wide open, Cameron caught her in his embrace, basking in her care and concern. The tenderness in his eyes grew stronger, and the last shred of menace in his heart gradually faded away.
