Chapter 509
“What? Master’s at a village in Onza?”
Emmanuel and Eve were alone in the room, and the news took him by
surprise.
Onza’s right beside Yeringham! I never thought Master would be so near me.
“That’s right. Commander Stevenson told me that the Ghost Doctor went to
Onza’s North Star Village six months ago, so he should still be there now!”
Eve sounded confident. She even took out a map.
Emmanuel had faith in the information from the Northern Region.
Commander Stevenson wouldn’t lie to me.
“In that case, I’ll go and look for him right away.” Emmanuel leaped to his feet.
“Wait!” Eve stopped him. “Why don’t I come with you?”
Emmanuel shook his head. “It’s fine. I can go by myself.”
However, Eve insisted. “North Star Village is not an ordinary village. It’s a large
area with challenging terrain and dozens of settlements. It won’t be easy for
you to find him if you head out by yourself! I won’t be the only one coming
along. I have to bring along some manpower too!”
I see! Emmanuel got the gist and nodded. “Okay then. Thanks for your help!”
Eve didn’t want to hear such formalities. “Don’t be so courteous with me, or I’ll
get mad. I’m your subordinate!”
Emmanuel let out a bitter smile. He was now an ordinary citizen and Eve was
in a command position now, so he never thought she would still show so
much respect for him.
“We can leave just as soon as I make the arrangements!” Eve then got up
and left.
Apart from wanting to lend Emmanuel a hand, she was following him to North
Star Village because she had a personal matter to attend to as well.
The settlements at Eastern Star Mountain were crude and rife with crime. The
younger sister of her old comrade during her time in the Northern Region had
been sexually assaulted by a man from those settlements.
Since she was going to make the trip over there, she wanted to avenge her
comrade’s sister!
That night, Eve set out for Eastern Star Mountain in a Land Rover.
Emmanuel didn’t see the manpower she had arranged to come along, but
he didn’t ask any questions. He had faith in Eve’s preparation. Back when they
were in the Wolf Warrior Unit together, she was known for being meticulous
and thorough when it came to making plans and preparations.
“Emmanuel, do you still remember Blockhead?”
Along the way, Eve abruptly spoke up.
Emmanuel was startled at first, but he immediately clenched his jaw and
replied, “Of course! He died during my last assignment. I killed that b*stard
from Zovince to avenge him!”
“Yeah, but vengeance hasn’t been served for one other thing.”
Eve’s,gaze sharpened as she spat out icily, “After his death, his sister was
sexually assaulted by a local bully from Eastern Star Mountain!”
“What did you say?”
Emmanuel’s veins began to throb and his eyes became bloodshot.
Blockhead had only been 20 when he died. How old could his younger sister
possibly be?
The thought of that heinous man destroying a teenage girl’s life like that
made Emmanuel’s blood boil. His head was like a volcano that was about to
erupt.
Eve’s jaw was tight as she continued, “That local bully is a powerful tyrant in
that area. He’s been lording over everyone at Eastern Star Mountain all along.
Because of its distance from the government and authorities, it’s considered
no man’s land, so that vermin has been able to get away with everything
without ever facing any repercussions from the law!”
“Damn it!” Emmanuel balled his fists. His mind was made up.
He knew Eve must’ve brought it up because she wanted to avenge
Blockhead’s sister, so he said, “Once we arrive at Eastern Star Mountain, let’s
drop by Blockhead’s family’s place first!”
Eve nodded. Emmanuel was still as fiery as ever.
Perhaps this trip to Eastern Star Mountain would be her chance to battle
alongside him again. She longed to relive the days they shared back in the
Northern Region!
