Some days later, Roger and his team had returned to the headquarters.

Ansem and his team who had undergone the mission were given training under a superior to prepare for their promotions.

Ansem was promoted to Major General without a doubt, he was the youngest among them. Amber, with her skill and talent she was not far behind either with a position of Lieutenant Colonel. The others were also promoted one by one. Ian was now a colonel under Ansem. And Amber too, under Ansem.

Being a Major General, he had many teams under him which he will meet after teansferring to the headquarters afterwards.

After a month or so, the formalities were completed with many congratulatory banquets.

Headquarters---

Ansem came up and did a military salute to his superior when he came to headquarters. He was welcomed well.

"Major General Ansem, Congratulations and welcome to the Headquarters!",Roger came out and wished him. He also wished the others one by one.

"You know Ansem, you took my position as the youngest Major General away", Roger complained silently. Ansem didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Rick came up to Lan who had a knowing smile on his face.

"Rick! I mean, Lieutenant Rick! Welcome to the Headquarters. How are you feeling?", Lan spoke to him in a natural way.

While Rick was somehow both happy and sad. Happy that he and Lan would be together now and sad that Lan didn't think too much of what had happened back then. But boy, was he wrong. Lan was a mastermind in covering his emotions and because he was an emotionally insecure child since young, he didn't know what to do much about it.

"Been well. What about you, Major?"

"Haha, it feels weird when someone calls me that. Call me by my name. After all you are my superior. "

Both of them smiled.

Towards the evening, the HQ was busy with the welcoming of new soldiers into their base. Ansem had naturally drunk too much. Amber hated alcohol but had a few sips of wine as a courtesy so she could easily take care of Ansem. They were shown to their quarters.

Ansem,"My lady, Congratulations for your achievements!", he said rather straightly. The more drunk he was, the more sharper and polite he became.

Amber laughed,"Thank you, Major General! You too!"

"But i am not pleased with you about one thing! Next time, stick with me. You are not allowed to go anywhere !"

"Ah?"

Yes, he was possessive, that's why no other men had ever come up to Amber nor has anyone come up to him. He was always protecting her never leaving her. Because of this, his superiors had kept them together and yes it didn't affect anything in their careers but rather their performance were very good.

"Ansem, i feel that you becane much more polite when you are drunk. That's new", Amber said.

Ansem perked up,"My lady, i want you. Can i eat you up?"

Although that sounded polite, his voice was hoarse and his eyes couldn't hide the lust.

The next day, Amber was quite angry with him. It seemed that drunkeness made him lose control making it very hard to Amber to slip out of his hands. He fiercedly attacked her last night showering hot kisses all over her body. Their pheromones were suffocating each other and they were entangled deeply.

If Amber was any normal girl, she would have stayed at bed for the whole day and even for two days but Amber was not the typical next door neighbour sweet girl. She got up at her usual time tomorrow and severely scolded Ansem while the latter could only bow his head and listen to all his beloved's complained. Infact, he was rather very happy seeing her fierce expression. He loved it and so he couldn't help but shower her kisses again specially at their bond-mark.

The next day, they were introduced to many people and teams on the training grounds. Ansem naturally had many teams under him being a Major General. His uncle had come out today to congratulate him too and all the others and gave a heartfelt welcome to all.

Somewhere in a unknown place in the Pacific Ocean a middle aged man was fiercely glaring at his attendant who brought him a very bad news.

"I knew that boy would make trouble now he falls into their hands! Don't do anything, we can't provoke the military since this time many countries' militia is involved", he gave a stern command. His eyes showing dissapointment and ruthless light.

"Master....as you wish", originally the attendant wanted to say something but he knew his Master's temper too well and also his Young Master had seriously offended many people this time so he couldn't help but swallow his refute down his throat. But even if he wanted to say something, he couldn't ..there was no way to refute his Master's words.
