Chapter 4707
"In my eyes, you're not that much different from those two."
Eliel Braff rephrased his words, emphasizing his praise toward Harvey York.
He sized up Harvey, daotranslate.com wondering if he should bring his dear granddaughter back from her studies
in America.
After all, the family had a spot for a live-in son-in-law.
Harvey showed a faint smile.
"Thank you for looking up to me like that, Mr. Braff."
Eliel could tell he did not want to be compared to Emery Wright, so he tactfully changed the subject.
"What are your thoughts about the future, Sir York?"
Harvey froze. He had a mighty legacy as the Chief Instructor. Nobody else could compare to such feats.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter pondering momentarily, he replied, "I want to live an ordinary life with my wife. I want to have a boy and a girl
with her and watch them grow up."
Eliel froze before he burst out laughing.
"You're not going to make a career out of your talents? Why not contribute to your country?
"It'd be a waste, don't you think?"
Harvey let out a chuckle.
"I have no right to decide that.
"If my country needs me one day, I'll go through the fire and flames for it.
"But if not, what's the problem with living a normal life?"
A sense of experience could be seen in Harvey's eyes.
Eliel was filled with shock when he saw it.
He did not expect Harvey to say such a thing, let alone feel this way.

All the young men crave to be reckless. They want all eyes on them.
Even if they were discreet, it was only another form of humble bragging.
That said, Eliel could not sense that from Harvey.
He found it hard to imagine the kind of struggles Harvey went through to be this unfazed about honor or disgrace.
A talented person would always rise to the top one day!
In Eliel's eyes, Harvey was that person!
But he did not realize that he had already gone through that.
Eliel smiled faintly.
"With that attitude, I'm sure you'll be standing at the peak of Country H soon.
"Then again, the attitude might not be suitable for you.
"After all, not everyone can walk down the path of the Chief Instructor."

Harvey froze.
"Are you saying that he's an ambitious man?"
Harvey felt speechless. He was never ambitious the entire time he was the Chief Instructor...
But outsiders thought differently.
Eliel thought about the situation for a while.
"I haven't seen him, but I've heard many stories.
"He destroyed the alliance of the five strongest countries single-handedly.
"Safe to say that he significantly contributed to the country's smooth development.
"Even the people know who the Chief Instructor is.
"This would greatly affect Emery!
"The louder the military forces and the elders scream the Chief Instructor's name, the more uncertain the future of
the Big Boss 'successor would be. This is a threat to him.
"Great merits would scare the greater power!
Those words aren't just for show..."
