Love Began with the First Meeting

God of Gamblers was still smirking. He folded all the cards and spread them with one hand. Instantaneously the cards became a neat fan. He raised the fan of cards with the back facing Cora and then said, "I'll answer your question if you can pick the ace of spades from

these

cards."

Cora glanced at the cards briefly and pulled one out. It was none other than the ace of spades!

God of Gamblers was satisfied with the result. Even though she didn't pay attention to the cards in his hands, she could still see through the trick he played.

"You should make full use of your talent in the gambling house rather than the battlefield!" he said in a stern tone. Then he raised his head and let out a laugh. On his way to the door, he said, "Cora, think it through carefully. I'm going to Dragon Island tomorrow. You'd better be going with me, otherwise..." He stopped walking and turned back to look at Cora, who was staring at him. Then he added with bitterness, "Then I'll never get involved in the business between you and Brian. Even if he hurts you, I won't help you anymore. Do you understand?"

He left the room when he finished what he said. Looking at his retreating figure, Cora clenched her teeth out of anger. She was too proud to go on pestering Brian, mainly since Brian chose to stay away from her to avoid her. Besides, she hadn't reconciled with him yet. If she weren't in a coma for so many years, maybe now everything would be different.

People in pain always had a longer night than those in joy. However, time is the only unbiased thing for everyone. No matter if one is rich or poor, happy, or unhappy, it's the same for everyone.

The dawn twilight broke the night scattering a dim light all about, and the exercise trumpet sounded. Soon it grew louder as the golden orb reached the horizon with its new sunrise inspiring the soldiers to get up with the promise of a new day.

Daniel was leaning on the army barricade climbing pole with a dog's tail grass hanging from his mouth. He watched the Falcon Commandos training, and his eyebrows creased together.

Red Falcon looked back at him, then signaled to the team to continue training themselves. He then strode over to Daniel, and after giving him a salute, he said, "What are you thinking about, captain?"

"I'm thinking about the task assigned by our leader. I'm afraid we can't finish it."

As the captain and vice-captain of Falcon Commando, Daniel and Red Falcon had established a strong friendship after going through so many battles and practices together, so they had nothing to hide from each other.

"Oh, there is one thing I'm really curious about."

Red Falcon sat on the chain and added, "What's your brother-in-law's real identity?" As a member of the commando, Red Falcon naturally had both a strong body and a clear head.

Daniel cast a glance at him and answered, "I don't know either. The only thing I know is that he is a capable man. He can achieve anything he wants."

After a brief pause, he added, "I also learned several days ago that the captain of the Black Wolves had made an assassination attempt on my brother-in-law's life earlier."

"What?" Red Falcon gaped in shock. "Captain Howard?" he asked, almost choking on his own spit.

Daniel nodded. He wore a complex expression, a combination of distress and complacency. "Yes, but he failed. Some of his men died in that attempt."

The corners of Red Falcon's mouth twisted and he stared wide-eyed in shock at Daniel. It took Red Falcon quite a while to regain his composure, and when he finally did, he shook his head and said, "Now I suspect even more, that your brother-in-law is not just a member of the Long family."

The military force of Dragon Island could be categorized as first class in the world and was famous for its Shadow Organization. Even Red Falcon had to admit that Captain Howard was a capable man. However, he failed in that task and lost some of his men. That meant his enemy was even stronger than him.

"I'm not curious about my brother-in-law's identity actually," Daniel said in a serious tone. He paused for a moment and added, "It's just a shame that I won't have the chance to see more of his marksmanship."

Red Falcon nodded quickly in approval when he heard Daniel's words. They were both once snipers and had a keen interest in improving their marksmanship. In a competition between Brian and their leader, both Daniel and Red Falcon had initially believed that Brian had lost. However, when they saw the bullet holes in the target boards, they were astonished and shocked.

Without the aid of night vision goggles, Brian should have had no idea of the placement of the markers and could have seen not a thing in the dark. However, every single shot that he fired was a bull's eye, right between the eyebrows. His marksmanship was extraordinary. The sky slowly brightened up with the sunrise, and many soldiers had already returned after a five-kilometer walk with fully laden rucksacks on their backs. The trumpet sounded once again urging the troops to line up and head to the dining hall for breakfast.

Because Brian and his family were here, the leader asked the cook of the dining hall to make the food more to Evelyn's taste, hoping to get on Brian's good graces by being more attentive to Brian's children.

Therefore, the soldiers also got a chance to eat more food after training for a whole day. The dining menu was changed entirely, and the soldiers were so happy to eat the delicious food, which was not their usual staple.

Stepping into the dining hall, Daniel found that Edgar wasn't there and then he remembered that Edgar had gone to a meeting. Daniel was happy about that. He asked Red Falcon to have breakfast at another table with the troops, while he went to the table where Brian's family were seated. "Good morning, sister, and Brian."

"Good morning, Uncle Daniel,"

The twins chimed in together after he had greeted their parents. The next moment, Evelyn threw herself into his arms. D
