The Charismatic Kai Bowen

In the courtyard of the Burden family mansion, there was a man who had just gotten out of a taxi. He smiled warmly at the Burden family mansion, which was currently bustling with guests. "Anchi must be happy with my return," Kai said while imagining the face of his wife, whom he hadn't seen for three years. Today was the birthday of Anchi, the first daughter of Thomas Burden, the former great general of the Southern Fronch nation. Kai walked calmly towards the door of the Burden family home while carrying his backpack. Some people looked at Kai strangely, but Kai didn't care about that because his only thought at the moment was to meet the woman he had loved since he was a warlord of the Southern Fronch country who was respected by everyone, until he turned into a prisoner for three years and now returned to the Burden family's house according to the agreement he agreed to with the Burden family. In the middle of his steps, his cell phone suddenly rang. "Sir, where are you?" asked the man on the call. "I'm back home; today is my wife's birthday; you all come here," Kai said casually as he continued to walk. "You mean the Burden family home?" asked the person on the call, who sounded surprised. Kai immediately stopped walking. "Why?" he asked, feeling strange at the tone of one of his trusted men. "We're going straight there now," replied the person on the call. After that, the call was immediately disconnected. Kai pushed the phone away from his ear and then stared at his phone screen for a few moments. "He's getting bolder; I'll punish him later." After putting his cell phone back into his pants pocket, he then walked back towards the living room of the Burden family home leisurely. 'Dad will definitely be happy and proud when he finds out what I've gotten for these three years,' Kai thought confidently. After five minutes of walking, Kai finally arrived at the living room of the mansion. Of course this attracted the attention of almost all the invited guests in the place because only Kai was currently wearing a t-shirt and cotton pants typical of the Fronch country army, while everyone else in the room was wearing neat suits and dresses. At first everyone was just shocked at Kai's appearance until finally someone recognized Kai. "Isn't that Kai, the former son-in-law of the Burden family who was imprisoned for the murder of Doctor Zuming three years ago?" said one of the invited guests. "Former son-in-law?" Kai frowned at one of the guests' words. Now the invited guests began to talk about Kai, who was considered shameless for daring to come to Anchi's birthday party. Meanwhile, Kai is now walking quickly past the invited guests to meet Anchi and Mr. Thomas, who are currently talking to some important guests on the other side of the room. And when Kai had arrived near Anchi and Mr. Thomas, suddenly one of the important guests greeted Kai. "Is that you, Kai?" asked the white-haired man who was 50 years old, but his body still looked as fit as a 30-year-old man's. Kai immediately lowered his backpack, then slightly bowed his body to show his respect. "Right, it's me, Kai Bowen. I feel very fortunate to meet you, Mr. George," he said calmly. Immediately Mr. Thomas and Anchi looked back. Their eyes bulged when they saw Kai. Kai immediately looked at Anchi. "An-" Plak! A hard slap hit Kai's cheek. Kai's eyes widened as he felt the slap from the hand of the woman he loved so much. "What do you want by coming to this house? Do you want to humiliate my family again?" Anchi asked as her tears began to fall. A moment later, Mr. Thomas hugged Anchi. "Calm down, it's nothing; Daddy is here, and he won't hurt you," he said as he rubbed his daughter's back. Of course, Kai was confused by everything he saw. 'What's wrong?' was the only thing on his mind at the moment. He was silent, looking at Anchi's attitude as if he was hurting him. A moment later, Mr. Thomas shouted, "Guards!" Kai immediately directed his gaze around; now he realized the unpleasant look of everyone in that place. After a while, two guards appeared who immediately held Kai's hands. "What is this?" asked Kai while looking back at Mr. Thomas. "You are a disgusting person; what do you expect from my daughter after humiliating this family!" shouted Mr. Thomas. Kai's eyes widened. "What do you mean? I came back to this house after I was released. I—" Plak! Anchi slapped Kai across the face once again. Kai immediately glared at Anchi. "What do you mean by slapping me? I'm here to meet you and celebrate your birthday." "What right do you have to celebrate my birthday? You're a jerk who killed a doctor who had the heart of an angel. You are a sinful human being!" Anchi said out loud. Kai was dumbfounded by Anchi's words. He recalled three years ago, the day after their wedding, Anchi suddenly came to him, who was discussing with his men—about the problem of arms smuggling by a large mafia group in the country of Fronch—while crying because Mr. Thomas was fighting with Doctor Zuming in the park beside the military defense headquarters of the Southern Fronch country. After that, he and Anchi came to the scene. But there was Doctor Zuming, who had been shot dead, and Mr. Thomas, who was unconscious. After taking Mr. Thomas to the hospital, the doctor said that Mr. Thomas had a heart attack. Anchi knelt down and begged him to help her father keep his good name because Mr. Thomas would surely die if he was imprisoned, and Mr. Thomas even directly pleaded with him on the grounds that if Mr. Thomas was punished, the Southern Fronch country would be in chaos (because at that time Mr. Thomas was still a major general). At that time, because of his love for Anchi and his trust in Mr. Thomas, he was willing to bear Mr. Thomas' guilt. He was dishonorably discharged from the army and sentenced to three years' imprisonment. * "Don't talk nonsense!" shouted Kai while pointing at Anchi and Mr. Thomas. "You are the ones who know the most about what I did for you. You guys—" Ah! Kai sighed loudly when a punch hit his head from behind. And when he was about to turn his head back, suddenly a hard kick hit his back so that he tumbled over and hit the table containing the rows of food and then fell on the floor along with the fall of the table and all the food. "Public scum like you don't belong anywhere near the Burden family!" shouted a man who had just kicked Kai. Kai was silent for a few moments. His chest hurt from hitting the table, but right now the pain in his heart outweighed everything because he clearly recognized the owner of the male voice that had just attacked him from behind. "It's you," Kai muttered as he used both hands to start getting up. He raised his head, his eyes staring intently at Anchi, who was currently hugging the arm of the man who had just attacked her. "It's really you," Kai muttered with his hands clenched into fists as he clearly saw the face of the man who had just attacked him.
