Chapter 377 Azure Dragon'S Apology

Chapter 377 Azure Dragon's Apology

"First and foremost, let me emphasize that I, Alger Shelton, have no bias against the military!" Alger spoke with a solemn tone. "On the contrary, I deeply admire them. Without their dedication to protecting our country, there would be no stability and prosperity in Glavale. But, this is a different matter from Alana finding a boyfriend."

"I'd like to hear more." Billy said calmly.

"You're not a parent yet, are you?" Alger looked at Billy. "Let me ask you, if you had a daughter, would you want her to find a good partner?"

"Absolutely." Billy responded promptly. However, his definition of a "good partner" was clearly different from Alger's. His only criterion for Tasha's future partner was someone who would genuinely care for her, everything else was secondary.

"The Shelton family, even though we may not be at the top in the capital, we're still among the elite." Alger continued. "There are dozens of suitors pursuing Alana, some of them young talents with far better qualifications than Azure Dragon."

"Let me ask you this, if Alana were your daughter, what would you choose?"

"Have you asked your daughter how she feels about this?" Billy asked with a faint smile.

"I know what you mean. You want to know if there's any real connection between her and them, right?" Alger responded. "You're still young, so your primary concern is emotions, which I understand. However, when you reach my age, you'll realize that emotions are just a phase in one's youth. As you grow older, you become more practical, and everything comes down to the basics of life."

"I'm watching over Alana now because I don't want her to regret her choice in the future." He added.

"Dad, I will never regret it," Alana Shelton replied firmly. "Both Azure Dragon and I are capable of living a good life together."

"Don't interrupt," Alger scolded his daughter before turning his attention back to Billy. "Furthermore, I didn't oppose Alana and Azure Dragon from the beginning. Azure Dragon, despite his shortcomings, has good character in my opinion. So, I gave him a chance. I offered him a position in one of my family's companies as long as he truly cares for Alana. But he refused outright, saying he would never leave the military unless he died. If you were in my shoes, what would you do?"

After speaking, Alger let out a heavy sigh, as if he had finally released the pent-up frustration within him.

"Azure Dragon, apologize to Mr Shelton." Billy sternly glared at Azure Dragon.

Before this, he had some grievances toward Alger Shelton based on Azure Dragon's descriptions. Azure Dragon, a hero who defended the land with his blood, was not someone to be looked down upon. However, after hearing Alger's words, Billy's impression of Alger Shelton had changed. In a way, Alger wasn't wrong; he was just doing what any father should do. If Azure Dragon had revealed his true identity to the Shelton family from the beginning, none of this would have happened. Azure Dragon was unnecessarily stirring up trouble.

When would his brothers learn to enjoy the simple pleasures of life? This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

"Uh..." Azure Dragon hesitated for a moment and looked at Alger. "I'm sorry, Mr Shelton, my apologizes."

"What did you do wrong?" Billy asked.

"I shouldn't have rejected your kind offer so bluntly. I hurt your feelings." Azure Dragon admitted, then added, "But I still mean what I said. I will never leave the military in this lifetime."

Alright, he was completely missing the point.

Commander Gardner suddenly felt exhausted.

Night Orchid couldn't hold back her laughter. "Azure Dragon, are you trying to drive boss crazy?"

"Azure Dragon, your emotional intelligence is seriously lacking." Stout chimed in.

"Boss asked for an apology, is this your way of responding? You're making him worried!"

"What does boss mean?" Azure Dragon asked.

"He means, even if you refuse, don't do it so brusquely." Stout lectured. "At least pretend you've thought about it seriously before making such a painful decision! You really frustrate me!"

Night Orchid burst into laughter again. "Stout, you better stop talking!"

"Stout, go away!" Billy was getting annoyed with the two of them. He suddenly felt like smoking a cigarette.

Night Orchid saw how irritated Billy was and quickly spoke to Alger, "Sorry, Mr Shelton, Azure Dragon is a bit straightforward. Please don't take it to heart. He's not just an ordinary soldier, he holds an important position and can't leave the military. But I assure you, he's a hundred times, a thousand times more outstanding than those young talents you mentioned earlier. He's just not good with words and never told you."

"What do you mean?" Alger was slightly puzzled.

Alana also looked surprised as she asked, "Azure Dragon, what exactly do you do in the military?"

"I..." Azure Dragon scratched his head.

Just then, hurried footsteps approached, and a group of people quickly came over. Each of them had a strong presence, and the leader was a Warlord-level expert.

"Uncle Edric, you finally came! If you hadn't, they might have beaten us to death!" Andrew Garza shouted as he ran towards the man named Edric Greenwood, who led the group.

"Hmm?" Edric furrowed his brow when he saw Andrew Garza.

"Who did this to you? Who dared to beat you like this? Do they want to die?"

Helen Greenwood also approached and said, "They're those two guys! They even threatened to cripple us!"

"Such arrogance! I'd like to see who they are!" Edric said in a cold voice, approaching Billy and his group.

"Please, calm down, Mr Greenwood. There's a misunderstanding here, and I hope you can give us a chance to explain." Alger said.

"You have no standing with me!" Edric interrupted him. "You'd better not meddle in this, or you'll regret it!"

With that, he walked up to Billy and his group and examined them carefully. Like Alger Shelton, he felt a faint sense of familiarity with Billy and Night Orchid but couldn't quite place it. After a brief pause, he dismissed the thought and continued speaking in a cold tone.

"I'll give you one chance. If any of you were involved in harming them, confess now, and I'll merely disable one of your hands or feet. Otherwise, I'll personally break both your hands and feet."
