Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 1345 Extra Story 100 Of Edgar An Imaginary Love Rival

Reflexively, Maggie disbelieved his words. That was because she had been in the Eagle Special Brigade for more than half a year, and for a big part of that period of time, she had been trained together with Falcon Commando. Although later she had been transferred to the sniping company by Edgar as punishment, she had already known clearly how cruel the Falcon Commando's training was. With these thoughts on her mind, she fixed her eyes on Edgar. However, she saw nothing but a faint smile at the corners of his mouth and affirmation deep in his eyes. Unconsciously, her pupils dilated. In astonishment, she asked him for confirmation, "Really?"

Feeling amused by the continually changing expressions on Maggie's face, Edgar nodded and said, "It's true. The eldest son of Brian and Molly, Addison Long, is the first candidate to the ruler of Long Family now. Three years ago, he attended closed training in Eagle Special Brigade for a whole year." As soon as she heard that, the corners of Maggie's mouth began twitching. However, Edgar didn't stop shocking her. He added, "And he left with an A-level record."

The performance of training in Falcon Commando was divided into five levels-Falcon Eye, A, B, C, Falcon Tail. That meant Falcon Eye was the best record one could get, while A was only second to Falcon Eye. Maggie had previously been proud of achieving her A-level record after being trained there for only several months. However, now Edgar told her that a child who had been less than ten years old at the time had also reached an A-level record. This made Maggie feel really awkward.

Seeing that she was in low spirits, Edgar said with a smile, "You don't need to feel uncomfortable to submit." After a short pause, he explained, "Dragon Island goes too far in training their candidates to be a ruler. Their training could be described as abnormal. Before going to Eagle Special Brigade, Addison, whose pet name is Mark, had already undergone two phases of training at Dragon Island." Then Edgar sighed deeply, "But I have to admit that he used some knack to get the A-level record. Sometimes I'd really like to open up one of the Longs' heads to see how they tick. I'm sure they have some precision instrument installed in their brains."

Hearing that, Maggie felt quite distressed. She felt that fate had dealt her an unfair hand. 'Some people have both outstanding appearance and a smart brain. However, what is the most important is that they also have a noble background and a higher position in the whole world. On top of all of that, each of the Long men loves only one woman faithfully all their lives, without being distracted by any other woman. That is the most intriguing and legendary part of their stories.'

Edgar knew what Maggie was thinking by looking at the expression on her face. He couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Hmm, every member of the Long Family has a fated lover. Once that person appears, they would be faithful to the person until they die. This rule applies to not only the men of the Long Family but also the females," he said. At least it had been proved by Richie and his brothers as well as Brian, Wing and Eric.

Maggie and Edgar were walking along the streets of Dragon Island. It was different from A City, which was obstreperous, and S City, which was quiet in a noisy neighborhood. Maggie felt peaceful here. It was as if people would slow down their footsteps unconsciously once they lived on Dragon Island.

"It seems that the citizens are quite pleased and contented to live here," Maggie couldn't help but sigh with emotions when she observed the passers-by.

"Don't be deceived by anything superficial," Edgar said that while his eyes fell on the building of the Tang Group in front of them. "Dragon Island has always been ruled by the Long Family because the island has been a possession of the Long Family from as far as it could be traced back. However, with the development of economy, the Dragon Empire Group is no longer only rooted on Dragon Island. The struggle between several parties has been surging forward vigorously here."

Maggie looked at Edgar in confusion. Due to her background and environment, she knew that sometimes politics could be the most terrible thing. However, neither her feelings at present nor the news she had watched and heard gave her the impression that there could be the same kind of problem here.

Edgar responded to her only with a smile. After all, that was something about Dragon Island. As an outsider, it wasn't appropriate for him to say too much about that. Besides, Maggie would keep on asking questions out of her curiosity, which would leave him with no choice but to tell her. Therefore, he didn't want to make trouble for himself.

As something came to his mind, Edgar fixed his eyes on the building of the Tang Group ahead of him. Among the four big families on Dragon Island, one was in support of the Long Family and one was taking a wait-and-see attitude, while the other two families were contending fiercely against the Long Family. Edgar wondered whether there would be an optimistic result in the end.

He didn't know the answer. He only knew that Eric would have to deal with increasing problems in future.

While he was lost in thoughts, Edgar's cellphone rang, bringing him back to the present. He fished his cellphone out of his pocket and answered, "You have finished?"

On the other end of the line, Eric was walking into an elevator with an evil and attractive smile at the corners of his mouth, and one of his hands was tucked into his trouser pocket. While Lenny pressed the button for the underground parking lot, Eric said on the phone, "Empire Hotel."

"I'm near the hotel," Edgar said, glancing across at Empire Hotel. It wasn't far away from the Tang Group building. "It seems that lots of changes have taken place in the neighborhood since I was here last time."

Hearing that, Eric's sight deepened a bit. In a lazy and casual voice, he said, "I didn't know that you had paid so much attention to Dragon Island."

"When you know both your enemy and yourself well enough, you can win every battle!" Edgar said on the phone. After giving a hint to Maggie with his eyes, the two of them returned to the parking place. "I'll be waiting for you," he said. "Okay!" Eric said. "See you later!"

When Eric hung up the phone, they had reached the underground parking lot. He and Lenny got out of the elevator and made their way to the car. Once inside, Eric dialed Brian's number.

Brian was frying eggs for Evelyn when his phone rang. He pressed the button on the Bluetooth headset in his ear to answer the call. "Have you finished the conference?" "Hmm," Eric answered.

Brian stopped for a moment paying more attention to the call. "What's the matter? Have you met any difficulty?"

After sighing deeply, Eric said, "Half the members of the National Congress disagreed to take action against the four big families right away."

Brian put the fried egg with the sunny side up onto a plate using an egg spatula. Then he broke another egg and put it into the pan. "Do you have a plan?" he asked.

Eric furrowed his brows slightly. When the car slid out of the parking lot and passed the Z-shaped administration building of the National Congress, he said slowly, "I don't think we can wait any longer. If I go on waiting, I'm afraid the Tang Family and the Lu Family would become variables."
