The following morning, Jovian stood at the entrance of West Lucozia Airport, wearing a sharp suit.

Before the trip, he had contacted his comrade with whom he had fought side by side in the military. After earning military merit and with the Ballard family’s influence, he was fortunate enough to stay in Oakvale and secure a decent position.

His comrade, on the other hand, had moved to West Lucozia to carve out a life for himself. Years of hard work had paid off – he was now a third-rank general with considerable power, influence, and a strong network of connections.

Jovian’s meeting with the Prince of West Lucozia would depend entirely on his comrade’s connections.

Just then, the roar of an engine cut through the air as a military jeep pulled up beside him. The window rolled down, and the first thing that came into view was a bald head gleaming in the sunlight like a lightbulb. The glare nearly blinded him.

Under that shiny dome was a face that looked ordinary at first glance. But what stood out was the man’s thick neck-wider than his head-and his massive frame, built like a bear. This was Jovian’s comrade, Boston Graham.

“Boston?” Jovian squinted as he studied the figure before him with a hint of doubt. He wasn’t sure if he had the right person.

He recalled Boston had a full head of hair and a lean frame several years ago. But now, he was bulked up and completely bald. Without that familiar face, Jovian might not have recognized him.

“Jovian! Long time no see. I’ve missed you! “Boston jumped out of the car and immediately pulled him into a bear hug. He squeezed so tightly that Jovian gasped for air and nearly choked.

“Take it easy. You’re going to break my ribs,” Jovian gritted out as he struggled to break free.
