Mom, Please Marry Daddy novel Chapter 231

Looking at Charles with a smile, Emily was a little surprised by how powerful he was. She knew that Charles was good at shooting, but she didn't know much about it. After all, they didn't often shoot, and she didn't expect him to be so excellent.

However, at last, Emily was happy. Since it was impossible for Charles to totally get out of these things, he would better have a better self-protection ability, which gave him the courage to deal with unexpected things.

But obviously, Charles was not satisfied with himself. He put on a sad look. Even though in the eyes of the crowd, Charles was excellent enough. In his own eyes, he was obviously not that good.

"I have to admit that I wasn't as good as you when I was a kid. And you won." Brian said as he held Charles in his arms.

"Really?" Charles admired and relied on his unfathomable father in his heart.

"Of course."

Thinking of this, Charles was very delighted. It was rare that he was better than his father in one aspect. So he temporarily forgot that he had missed one target.

Emily sighed. She knew the feeling of the words might be different from different people. If these words were from her, it might not be as effective as that from Brian. It was more like a tacit understanding between men.

Forget it. There was no need to worry about that. The competition was over. In terms of ability, Emily was almost the same with Brian, but Charles was little bit weaker. It was totally reasonable. Moreover, his ability was still very outstanding and his future would be unlimited.

All the people in the camp was so shocked but they could do nothing about it. They were speechless in front of such powerful strength, so they would train even more hard in the future. The soldiers even began to fight against each other for a period of time because of this competition. Of course, that was the later story, which Emily did not know.

But now when Emily looked at Calvin, who had become very enthusiastic, he even wanted to rush to Charles right away, which made people have a bad feeling.

"Brian, can we have a talk?" Calvin's saliva almost flowed out.

"No way." After that, Brian walked towards the door with Charles in his arms. Judging from the look on Calvin's face, it was obvious that he wanted Charles.

"Hey, don't be so heartless. I am your elder. How about sending Charles to the army? I can assure you that he will dominate the whole military region in ten years." Calvin said excitedly.

"Not interested." Brian gave a simple answer.

"Hey, hey, you don't need to refuse me so directly. I am an old man, at least you should respect me a little bit. You must remember that it took a lot of effort for me to teach you, right?" Calvin followed him all the way.

"Anyway, it's not you."

Calvin was furious, but he couldn't do anything about it. Brian was just that stubborn. In the past, Calvin had tried so hard to get Brian into the army, but he had failed. This time, Calvin was determined to succeed no matter what happened since Charles was really talented.

So he couldn't find a breakthrough. He turned to Emily and said with a gentle smile, "Emily, we are close now. How could you refuse an elder's request?"

"Uncle, I really can't bear to refuse you. If I can make a decision, I will give Charles to you. But I can't decide. As you can see, my families are all independent individuals. If you want him to be with you, you have to ask for Brian's consent first. After all, Brian is Charles' father." Said Emily with a warm smile.

But Calvin couldn't stay calm when he saw such a smile on Emily's face. He said, "HM! What a smart girl." Now, it was time to talk with Brian again. But before Calvin could speak again, someone interrupted him.

"Calvin, I've heard a lot about you. I have wanted to see you for a long time, but I don't have time. Let's have a talk today." James had already come up to stop Calvin. How could they sit back and do nothing as there was someone who wanted to seduce his successor? Didn't he know that Charles had already been the next head of the Heavenly Shadow?

Moore agreed with James' action. Calvin could never get through his tricks to get close to Charles because of Moore's objection, not to mention that James would protect Charles just like Emily and Brian did.

Mary also agreed with him. Brian looked at James with a smile, but James always had a bad feeling when he saw Brian.

Emily didn't say anything about that. She just couldn't figure out why James and her son got along so well with each other. But now that the man came out to stop Calvin from pestering her son, she was happy about it. Anyway, the army was a good place, but she was afraid that Charles wouldn't like the rules of the army.

Like Brian and Emily, Charles didn't like the so-called rules. Brian didn't choose to go to the army at that time mostly because of this. Charles liked the free life more than Brian, because he was inherited by the two people who were not serene. But that was all right.

Of course, without saying anything, Calvin was taken away by James. In fact, Calvin really wanted to talk with James. Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed him to stay here.

After the others left, only Calvin and James were in the room. James sat down rudely. "The tea tastes good. You're indeed the commander of the army. The salary is really good."

"It's a great honor for me to be favored by the head of the Heavenly Shadow." After Charles left, Calvin didn't look like what he looked like a moment ago. Now he looked like a big boss.

"It's an honor to be praised by the General Commander of the army." Of course, James was rather straightforward. He would make some mistakes when faced with Charles and Moore. Moreover, he was generally reliable in many aspects, especially when he was faced with people he was interested in.

The most obvious thing was that he was interested in Calvin. But they didn't know whether it was because of Charles or of Calvin's identity. Nevertheless, since James was so interested in him, they could just stand aside and watch. What's more, there were not only James but also Calvin who showed great interest now.

"Haha, you're worthy of being the leader of the Heavenly Shadow." Few people could be so composed in front of the special troops, especially to such an extent of composure.

"I'm glad if you praise me. Calvin, we're all honest people. As clever as you are, you should tell me why you ask us to stay here." Since they were all clear about each other's identity, James didn't think they were here to have a chat.

One was the commander of the army, and the other was the leader of the Heavenly Shadow. They really didn't have much to talk with each other, and naturally they had some other purposes.

"It's said that the Heavenly Shadow had recently traded arms in France." Calvin asked bluntly.

Hearing this, James narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do you mean, Calvin?" Even if Calvin knew about this matter, he had no right to deal with it. Because the person they were trading with was in France and he was the most powerful man in the country. And the affairs across the country were not under Calvin's control. But now that Calvin brought up this matter, it was really necessary for James to think about what he meant.

"It is said that the Heavenly Shadow deals with new weapons, which are not simple." James understood what Calvin said.

"Calvin, you should know that our business uses a crooked means in your eyes." It was apparent that Calvin wanted to have the same deal with them.

"I have to take some unordinary measures at unusual times." Calvin was not a man who would remain unchanged. In order to better protect what he wanted to protect, many things would not remain the same.

Hearing his words, James smiled. It was rare to see a person like Calvin in such a high position. He assumed that such a person deserved to be a commander, and what's more, he had also played an important role in making a breakthrough.

"Since you know that I'm the head of the Heavenly Shadow, you should know better than anyone else that this is the territory of the Heavenly Rasetsu, and not the place where the Heavenly Shadow can get involved." They had been in mutual non-aggression with the Heavenly Rasetsu.

"Oh, I don't think the Heavenly Shadow is afraid of the Heavenly Rasetsu." Calvin said with a smile.

James smiled back and replied, "You are right, Calvin. It's just that we have never interfered with each other, so there's no need for us to be an enemy of the Heavenly Rasetsu. What's more, sometimes we have to follow the so-called rules like the army."

The belonging issue of this territory had become a simple tacit agreement among them a long time ago. Once one of them was active in a place, the other one couldn't interfere with the matters in that place. They already had reached a consensus in this matter, and if it was not necessary, they did not want to cross over the other's territory.

They were never afraid of getting into trouble, but they would not easily cause trouble, not to mention that they were in the place that belonged to the Heavenly Rasetsu. So they would not do such things.

"What if I tell you that the people of the Heavenly Rasetsu won't care? What's more, there is an army to protect you. Isn't it a good thing?"

James narrowed his eyes. Compared with the last part of what Calvin said, he heard more clearly what the first part of his words was about. No one of the Heavenly Rasetsu would care about it. Since Calvin said that, it seemed that he had a close relationship with the Heavenly Rasetsu. But what was the close relationship? A smile appeared on James's lips. It was interesting.
