His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 505 The Australian Royal Army



Chapter 505 The Australian Royal Army

  "How could I do that?" John replied to the text message and explained. "The top floor is heavily guarded. I could only visit the babies because of James. The rest may not enter the top floor." 

  "Then you have to figure it out." 

  "That is actually impossible. Other than Jacob and Vincent's parents, no one can come and go whenever they like but the Montfort couple, Andre and James."

  After his reply, it took a while before John received a response from Samuel. 

  "Then work on it."

  John twitched his mouth, reading the message. 'Like that was too simple. I'm inside Hailee's kingdom and surrounded by her knights.' However, did he have another choice? 

  "Fine." He replied later on. 

  Samuel parted his lips into a wide grin when John sent this text. His eyes gleamed with excitement. 

  'It's time to eliminate John. There's no one Master should trust but me, no one else!' Samuel thought. 

  John is gaining the master's trust. Samuel feels threatened and would not allow John to get close to the master. 

  His master clearly instructed him that the children must live. But he gives John a false order, which will be his downfall.

  When John succeeds in killing the babies, his master will be outraged and eliminate him. By then, there is no one his master will trust but only him!

  Having thought of how clever he is to plan against John, Samuel laughs like crazy. One of these days, John will disappear from the face of the earth because he will think that the order he carried out is the master's order. 

  In truth, the master wants nothing to happen with the kids, as he will use them in his backup plan if he fails to get Vincent.

  After John reported to Samuel how Hailee had forced labor and the babies were in critical condition, he went to the restaurant for a meal.

  John joined James at their table. He nodded his head to the knights and greeted the ones at the nearby tables. Although they looked at him suspiciously and interacted poorly, he remained unfazed and dodged their intent gaze. 

  He glanced around casually and scanned the place to gather some information. He noticed how Hailee's knights were careful with their discussion, not for him to hear anything.

  "Don't worry, John. Everyone is on guard because things are dreadful because of what happens to the empress. We cannot sit idly but watch each other's backs until the empress regains consciousness and apprehend whomever our enemy." 

  "I understand, of course. Hailee did not accept me as her knight, yet," said John painfully. He conceals the sadness flashing in his eyes but smiles at James before he begins eating his meal.

  Later that day, Derek spoke with Jacob in the lounge area outside the ICU. 

  "Uncle Jacob, I scheduled Hailee's surgery tomorrow morning."

  "Is her condition stable now, Derek?" asked Jacob. He wants assurance. He is too worried about his daughter, which causes him not to close his eyes even for a wink.

  "Yes, Uncle Jacob. Don't worry. The new machine I invented was 99% successful when I performed a test. My operation with Pitt and Carmen was successful. I can assure you, Uncle, Hailee's CS marks will disappear, and her wound will heal in a short time."

  "I'm glad to hear that. Thank you. Without you, what will happen to this world, Derek?"

  "I'm happy to be of help, Uncle. Besides, it's all thanks to Shun for pouring enormous funds into my research." 

  "Hah. You're right. Shun is actually doing everything to help Hailee. I'm happy he is a good brother to my daughter."

  Derek smiled awkwardly as guilt struck his heart. Until now, Jacob nor Hailee was blind to everything that was happening, and they were only hiding the truth as to why Shun wanted to make up with them. 

  "Family is always helping each other, Uncle," said Derek. 

  "Indeed. Blood is thicker than water." Jacob's phrase concurs with Derek's quote. "So I entrusted my daughter to you, Derek. Please help her."

  "We will do everything even beyond our capability, Uncle Jacob."

  "Thank you, Derek."

  "Don't mention it, Uncle." Derek didn't stay long. He excuses himself and visits Hailee inside the ICU before he leaves back to his office. Leaving that place, his steps are actually heavy. He is praying that things will be over soon and he will be free from his conscience.

  ALLIANCE HQ, Italy

  The following day, Shun visits Liam. The doctors ran diagnostic tests and saw no problem with him, but he stayed unconscious. 

  "Shun!" 

  Shun turned his head toward the man running toward him. "Daichi? What happened?"

  "Shun, our informant, sent a report. The Royal Army is preparing to deploy soon!"

  "What?" Shun was in great shock. 'This is not happening!'

  Shun pulled out his phone from his coat pocket and dialed Levi's contact. "Where is Andre?"

  "What's wrong?" Levi was in a daze after the call woke him up. He had no sleep for many days now, as he never removed his gaze from the ICU, watching Hailee 24/7.

  "Did Andre leave Dream City?" 

  "Andre? I think he's still here." Levi replied, yawning, as he was still sleepy.

  "Levi, Andre is about to deploy to the Royal Army! I want you to find out where they are headed!" said Shun. 

  "Huh? The what?" Levi forced his head to work when he wasn't entirely sober yet. After his brain fully functions, Levi jumps off the sofa and runs toward the elevator. "Oh, shot!" 

  The Australian Royal Army is not just part of the Australian Defense Force, but they were the Davies Private Army! 

  And because Jacob has no son, Andre, who he made as heir to acquire this important role and lead the army to protect the Davies family at all costs. 

  Being an Air Force pilot is just a front to Andre's real identity. He is one of the most low-key among Hailee's knights not to gain so much attention.

  However, girls are exaggerated to any handsome Air Force men like the Maverick character of the TOP GUN movie. Why not? Andre also resembles Tom Cruise, and he is not inferior to how good-looking he is. 

  As of now, no one could beat Andre as the best aviator, carrying the title of Number One in the world. 

  But Andre is not just the best pilot. Being an Air Force Captain is just his rank on the surface. But the truth is, Andre is the Fleet Commander of the Australian Royal Army, a secret army hidden by the entire Australian Defense Force's higher rank officials. 

  The Defense Forces who can join the secret army are only the best among the best. Andre is often gone for a long time because of the special training he must give all the new members.

  Davies has not just been working on growing their wealth; they have also established a force that will protect them. Hailee's ancestors built a secret army because of the frequent invasion by other explorers who also wanted to colonize the land. 

  They needed to protect their interest, so they made an agreement with every leader of many states and established a concrete constitution.

  The Davies helped establish a better political system in Australia after the great war. Including appointing the first Prime Minister by a secret order by the Davies family. 

  Davies had strengthened their standing in the Business World on the surface while they continued building an army by funding the Defense Force's advanced weapons, and it developed throughout time. Davies is still backing up the research through the Royal Army.

  "Levi…"

  "Yes, Shun."

  "I want you to investigate who is Hailee's first-in-command now."

  "First-in-Command? Isn't Pitt who carries out her direct orders?"

  "Yes, he is. But ever since Pitt was assigned to protect Vincent, I know there are changes to the Knights' rank." 

  "Then? Could it be Andre?" Levi guessed.

  "No. It can't be Andre. He must focus on leading the Royal Army. But the First-in-Command is the one who is always on Hailee's side to carry out her orders. Including giving orders to the Royal Army Commander when a Davies was in great danger. Since Vincent married Hailee, he is crucial to the Davies family, so they must protect him." 

  "The Australian Royal Army. Then? Who among the Knights becomes Hailee's First-in-Command? Is it Geoffrey? Since Bryan is out of the picture, he was to remove from being the First-in-Command. Ah! I know someone to query! I'll call you back later, Shun." Levi hung up the call and entered the elevator.

  Dr. Hector Payne Clinic

  Hector was studying some medical reports when the door in his office pushed open abruptly. He was startled when the man who entered the room rushed to his table and became violent. 

  "Master Montfort?" 

  Levi, breathing heavily, slammed his hands on the table and asked Hector several questions.

  "Tell me, did Andre prepare to launch an attack? Where is he bringing the entire Royal Army fleet? Who is in command of Hailee's entire knights!?"
