The General Who Hates Me
/ The General Who Hates Me Chapter 217
"Are you sure about this, daughter? Is there really no other way to stop you?" Mrs . Chan sighed as she gloomily looked at her daughter .
After visiting the Lim Family, she and her husband had gone directly to Keira's dorm at the military base . When they arrived there, her daughter was already busy preparing her things for the mission . The special task force team would embark on the rescue operation tomorrow .
Keira smiled as she held her mother's hands and said, "Mom, don't worry… Everything will be fine . I will return with Zach and we will give you a lot of grandchildren soon . "
Mrs . Chan gave Keira a weary expression as she contested, "No, just return home safe and I will be at peace . "
"Yes, you should first focus on returning home safely with Zach, daughter . Only then can you fulfill your promise to give us grandchildren to play with," interrupted Field Marshal Chan in jest .
Keira laughed and gave her dad a wink before she replied, "Of course, Dad . I will . So please stop worrying . "
"Oh, this child! You know we can't stop worrying…" Mrs . Chan whined . She burst out crying . Keira was their only treasure in this world . They cherished her so much that it was difficult for her to let her go, especially when she knew how dangerous the place to which Keira would need to go .

Keira hugged her mom tightly and tried to pacify her by saying, "I know you can't, Mom . And I really feel bad for making you two worry about me . But please have faith . Everything will be fine, nothing would happen to me and I will bring your son-in-law back soon . "
She was so excited yet also nervous, that it was hard for her to get her sleep after her parents left that night .
Finally, she would see her husband again . Finally, she would be able to get him back .
She looked at the couple bracelet she was wearing . Just like Zach's bracelet, it also had a tracking device . She would ask Thea to wear it inside the ship . She hoped that Leon's new security system would not be able to detect it .
. . . .
The special team that would go undercover to rescue Zach was made of thirty well-chosen special task force members, including Keira, May, Lana and Drey . Jeru would lead the entire operation .
Thea was introduced to Keira's friends . Although everyone already knew her, it was their first time to meet Thea in person .
They all boarded a private plane with their disguises already on, except Thea and Chin . Keira was disguised as a wealthy sixty year old lady .
The tournament would officially open tonight and they had managed to get an invitation as special guests who would shower the tournament with a huge amount of money in betting .
Keira and Jeru had put up a lot of their own as well as their family's money to make their disguise look more convincing and real .
Once the plane landed they would be split into two groups; the guests and their bodyguards . Jeru, Keira and May would act as guests while Lyra and Drey would act as their bodyguards, along with the rest of the team .
They would have the opportunity to stay inside the ship for three days during the tournament .
They would have three whole days . That was more than enough time to rescue Zach . They were all just praying for one thing… That at least one of the tracking devices that were put on Thea would work well and would not be detected .
May noticed that Thea and Jeru had been stealing glances at each other when they thought no one was looking . She smelled something fishy, so she elbowed Lana and pointed her lips to Thea and Jeru . The two had been acting very suspicious .
Lana gestured for May to stop and not to mind other people's business . But May could not help it . She looked intently at Thea who was seated only a few meters in front of them .
"Did Jeru harass you when you were staying at his place?" She asked bluntly . Jeru's face crumpled at May's straightforwardness . He had become close with Keira's friends during the three years that he had spent with them . So he knew how savage this group of friends could be when they were joking and bantering .

Thea's face turned crimson red while May who had just confirmed her hunch from Thea's reaction laughed out loud .
May looked at Jeru with excitement as she said, "Oh my gosh! It looks like my second lead syndrome would finally turn into a male lead soon!"
Jeru's eyes narrowed at May as he murmured irritably, "Stop it, May, or I'll have you assigned to a post where there'll be limited food or no food at all!"
May's eyes rounded instantly . She knew Jeru would really do it, so she could only swallow hard and zip her mouth tightly .
Lana laughed and looked at Thea . She whispered to her, "Don't mind them . They are always like that whenever they are together . Also, I hope you don't mind it, but this is just how our group is… We love to have fun, but we also make fun of each other a lot . "
Thea gave Lana a timid smile . May twitched her mouth while still giving Jeru a teasing look which the latter ignored .
Thea released a silent sigh of relief . After that kiss, she and Jeru had become awkward with each other again . 'It's not my fault,' she comforted herself, because it was Jeru who clearly kissed her first .
She was really confused and wanted to confront him about the kiss, but she knew that it was not right to do it now, considering the situation that they were in .
Keira, on the other hand, smiled as she watched her friends banter from the other side of the aisle . She felt lucky and blessed to have such wonderful and supportive people around her .
Drey could sense that Keira was nervous so he held her hands and kept them warm by rubbing them together .
"Everything will be fine . I can feel it… We will rescue him and the two of you will soon be together again," Drey said with a smile . Keira smiled back and nodded as she emitted a loud sigh .
