Chapter 412
On the other hand, the military camp in the Northern Region was filled with a
cold breeze. At the same time, the buildings there looked like mighty huge
beasts guarding their kingdom, Chanaea, keeping outsiders from setting foot
on their land.
At that moment, Emmanuel appeared to be serving an old man a cup of
black tea in a spacious room. Served with the most common drink in the
military camp, the old man with gray hair seemed touched as he excitedly
raised the cup and took a sip. “Finally, haha! It’s been three years since I last
drank the tea you made. I must say that you make the best black tea in the
world.” While the man had a huge liking for drinking tea, it was in fact the
person whom he had missed.
Eight years ago, when the old man found Emmanuel among hundreds of
elites and discovered his talent in healing, he was so excited that he couldn’t
sleep. For the next few years, he dedicated all his time and effort to training
and making Emmanuel the Northern Region Wolf Warrior. Nevertheless,
Emmanuel later made a mistake as he was still too young and impulsive.
Troubled by that, he reluctantly decided to leave the Northern Region, which
came as a disappointment to the old man. Therefore, when he finally
reunited with Emmanuel three years later, he couldn’t help but feel happy
about it.
“I’m sorry, Master!” Emmanuel spoke tersely like he always did, letting out a
sigh after that.
As Emmanuel’s mentor and the Northern Region’s commander, Santiago
Adkins had sacrificed and made a lot of contributions to his nation. Therefore,
Emmanuel was especially grateful to have a respectable figure like Santiago
as his mentor.
In the first few years of his career, Emmanuel performed outstandingly on the
battlefield to repay his mentor. However, things took a turn for the worse in
the Battle of Waterloo three years ago.
Having made a mistake during that battle, he decided to put a stop to his
career to atone for his errors. As time flew, three years passed by without him.
knowing it. He later went on to kill the traitor, Kan Bender, but despite that, he
couldn’t make the guilt that was gnawing at him go away.
“Hmph! What’s the point of apologizing?! Have you returned to repay me by
resuming your military career?” Santiago suddenly became serious. “Do you
still remember how I used to teach you? No matter how many times he falls
down, a true man always gets back up.”
“Master, I…” Emmanuel swallowed his words, not knowing what to say next. In
fact, the reason Emmanuel left was not only because of his own reasons but
also because he was forced to take responsibility for the war that was lost in
the Northern Region. Right after he left the task force, it didn’t occur to him to
return to the Northern Region again. After all, he was so devastated by his
disheartenment that he no longer saw a purpose in his own life.
“Well, if you know your mistakes, you must right the wrongs!” Santiago could
sense Emmanuel’s dispirited morale, but even so, he went on to strictly say,
“Kan Bender was the one who betrayed the Wolf Warrior Unit. Although your
took his life later on, the actual mastermind is still at large. I don’t care
whether you’re back to avenge your deceased brothers, but I know you must
take responsibility and resume the mission!”
“Well…” Emmanuel became hesitant upon hearing that. After all, he didn’t
think about resuming his military career, but his vengeance had never
stopped reminding him to avenge his dead comrades.
4/5
The members of the Wolf Warrior Unit were rather close with each other, so
Emmanuel could never forget about the times they fought side by side in the
most life-threatening situations. Despite countless near-death experiences,
the bonds that they built between each other were stronger than the world’s
toughest shield.
Among the squad, Emmanuel used to call the youngest soldier Blockhead. He
once smiled and told Emmanuel that he would return home and visit his
family when the battle was over, but unfortunately, he didn’t live to see
another day during the battle. I will avenge you, Blockhead!
“What’s wrong? Did you get lost in the world out there? Is that why you refuse.
to return even until now?” Santiago teased Emmanuel, but deep down, he
knew how righteous and honest of a person his mentee was. After all,
Santiago’s granddaughter was deemed to be the prettiest lady in the
Northern Region. While she subtly expressed her feelings for Emmanuel to
him, the man didn’t seem to feel the same way, eventually leading to a
missed opportunity for them to be together. Because of that, Santiago didn’t
think Emmanuel would fall for any woman so easily, considering the fact that
he didn’t even fall for his beautiful granddaughter.
