"Defender of the South, I have finally found you. Heaven truly blesses Seclela!"
"You've been gone for three years. Without your broken sword, the border would have long been invaded by enemy forces!"
"Now, rumors of your death have spread, and the enemy has dispatched one hundred thousand elite soldiers to attack our southern territory!"
"I, Greedy Wolf, implore you, Defender of the South, to return to the South and take charge once again, please."
A burly man knelt on one knee, his emotions barely concealed.
The man he faced was thin and sallow, with his head wrapped in bandages, dressed in a hospital gown.
"Heh!" The man suddenly laughed, murmuring to himself, "One hundred thousand elite soldiers? Are the Eight Royal Regiments and Zodiac Generals of Seclela incapable of defeating such a force?"
Greedy Wolf replied with guilt, "Defender of the South, you know that the Eight Royal Regiments and Zodiac Generals only obey your orders. Without you, no one can command them. Please, for the greater good, return to the South and take charge!"
At that moment, the sound of high heels clicking echoed from outside the door.
"Enough, my wife is here. You may leave now," Kayden Scott instructed calmly.
Greedy Wolf looked at Kayden in astonishment. His wife? The Defender of the South was married? Who in the world could be worthy of him? But he dared not ask more and quietly exited the ward.
A long-legged beauty appeared at the door. She wore a tight black dress that barely covered her thighs, revealing her long, fair legs. Her figure was stunning, the dress accentuating her allure.
"Are you awake? If you're awake, come with me," the woman said coldly upon seeing Kayden's open eyes.
This was Kayden's wife, Georgia Adams.
Georgia was renowned as the most beautiful woman in Hiphia. Countless young men from various rich families had vied for her affection.
But three years ago, the head of the Adams family, Christopher Adams, had somehow found a fool to marry into the family. Thus, the tale of the beautiful Georgia marrying a fool spread throughout Hiphia, turning her into a laughingstock for the past three years.
That fool was Kayden!
Kayden sat in the backseat of the taxi, his head leaning against the window. Everything came back to him.
Three years ago, he was the war god of the South, titled Defender of the South. He personally forged the Eight Royal Regiments and Zodiac Generals, defending the borders of Seclela and made them like an unbreakable iron wall. Later, when ten allied nations invaded, he battled their commanders for three days, ultimately beheading them, but he exhausted his inner strength and fell unconscious on the battlefield.
He did not know what happened next, but Christopher took him to Hiphia.
Due to severe injuries affecting his nerves, he lost his memory.
For three years, he lived as a subject of ridicule, with no one treating him as human except for Georgia.
Georgia glanced at the fool through the rear-view mirror. She thought that he seemed different today, unusually quiet.
She wondered why she was even paying attention to this fool. Georgia shook her head helplessly. Even now, she did not understand why her grandfather insisted on this marriage and even warned her on his deathbed never to divorce Kayden.
A few days ago, this fool had even attempted suicide, jumping off the company's rooftop. She thought he was done for, but he miraculously survived, only suffering a concussion.
The car stopped in front of the Adams family villa. As soon as it stopped, Georgia strode into the villa.
At the entrance, she hesitated, worried. Kayden, following closely, bumped his head against her back, hitting his wound, causing him to frown in pain.
Seeing this, Georgia asked, "Are you alright?"
Kayden nodded his head without speaking. Georgia scrutinized him and said, "At grandmother's birthday banquet later, don't say a word or do anything. Just follow me quietly, alright? I'm begging you."
"Okay!" Kayden nodded heavily as he promised.
Georgia walked into the villa.
Upon seeing her, Scarlett Wood, Georgia's mother, rushed over with a look of disdain and spoke up, "Georgia, why did you bring this idiot here? Aren't you tired of always having him around?"
When Kayden saw the annoyed look on Scarlett's face, he recalled what she had done to him. Every time he was with her at home, he was either tied to the bed or locked in a room, sometimes not even given food for a whole day.
"Mom, I promised Grandpa," Georgia said helplessly.
"Grandpa, Grandpa! You only think about your grandpa. Can't you think about me for once? I am your mother!"
At this moment, Jamie Adams saw Kayden and called out to his friends.
"Wow, isn't that the fool from the Adams family? Why is he here?"
"I heard this fool often fights with dogs for milk. Is that true?"
Jamie, arms crossed, said, "Not only that, once he hugged an old lady on the street, asking for milk, and got reported to the police."
"This time, he went even further, jumping off the company's roof, practicing his flying skills."
"And he did not die. He's really lucky."
As they talked, they burst into laughter.
Georgia heard every word, which made her both angry and helpless.
Of them, Jamie loves to bully Kayden the most. Once, he made Kayden go to the women's restroom, where he was beaten by two women. He often made Kayden steal Georgia's stockings.
Teasing Kayden had become a part of Jamie's life.
"Hey, Kayden, come here like a dog," Jamie called as Georgia and Kayden walked by, even spreading his legs provocatively.
"Jamie, don't go too far. He's your brother-in-law after all!" Georgia couldn't help but scold him.
Jamie and his friends laughed heartily. He exaggeratedly pointed at Georgia, saying, "Brother-in-law? This fool deserves to be called my brother-in-law? Georgia, you might not care about your reputation, but I do."
"Ask Kayden what he should call me."
Jamie, arms crossed, looked down on Kayden.
But Kayden just glanced at him and then lowered his head.
"Hey, I am talking to you. Are you deaf?" Jamie felt humiliated by Kayden's indifference.
"Call me boss! Are you mute? Or have you gone completely stupid?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand to push Kayden.
"Jamie, today is Grandma's birthday. Don't go too far," Georgia pointed at Jamie and warned him.
Jamie slapped his own mouth, adding, "Oh, I forgot, he's a fool. Silly me!"
His words made his friends laugh again.
Jamie adjusted himself, and then said in a mocking tone, "I can't believe you care about this fool. You two are really a match made in heaven."
Georgia ignored him and walked forward, but Jamie and his friends blocked her. Jamie said, "If Kayden doesn't call me boss, I will not let you pass."
"Get lost!" Kayden suddenly shouted.
He grabbed Jamie by the throat, lifted him off the floor, and then threw him hard. Jamie's body flew out and crashed heavily.
The whole process was seamless!
This scene shocked many. The Adams family's foolish son-in-law actually hit someone.
Jamie landed at Old Mrs. Adams' feet. Seeing it was Jamie, she hurriedly bent down to help him, asking with concern, "Jamie, what happened? Who hit you?"
Jamie, his face twitching, pointed angrily at Kayden and answered, "Grandma, it was him, the fool."
Old Mrs. Adams trembled with anger, pointing at Kayden, and asked, "You, what are you doing?"
Kayden looked at her with a commanding gaze but did not answer.
"Georgia, on such an occasion, how could you bring your useless husband here? Are you trying to shame me even more?"
Georgia looked at Old Mrs. Adams, ready to stand up for Kayden.
But to everyone's surprise, Kayden coldly said, "I, Kayden Scott, am not useless."
One sentence astonished everyone!
