Chapter 261 A Gathering of Old Friends
As the oldmander spoke, emotion welled up in his eyes.
Whether he was looking back on old times or filled with profound regret, Milly got the impression
that he genuinely missed his old friend.
“For years, I’ve been on a quest to find her, desperate to tell her about our victory, yet she’s been
nowhere to be found.
This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
“She gave me this Eagle Medal because she was worried about forgetting. She left it with me as a
sign, a hint for the day she’d return, and a hope for my safety. I’ve kept this to myself, never sharing
its real importance with anyone. It seems like fate that you brought it up today.”
Milly’s heart raced.
Despite never seeing the medal, she was inexplicably sure it was the Eagle Medal. The online
information she found mentioned the team, not the medal.
It felt as though…
The knowledge had subtly nted itself in her mind.
But why she felt so sure, she couldn’t quite articte.
Milly tried to speak, “Old Mr. Scathings, I …”
But Thomas interrupted, “My dear, maybe this is meant to be. I’m leaving you with this medal,
hoping destiny guides you to her.”
He handed her the medal.
It looked like an ordinary piece of iron but felt smooth from years of handling, with warmth as if still
holding a human touch, making Milly’s palm tingle.
Milly’s hand shook. The medal meant the world to Thomas. What was going on? Despite feeling it
was meant for her, she questioned epting it.
“Old Mr. Scathings, this medal is too meaningful. I can’t take it. I’m a regr person and can’t hold
onto such an h ur. If you really miss your friend, look for her yourself.”

Chapter 261 A Gathering of Old Friends
Thomas looked at the medal, his eyes mncholy, but he didn’t withdraw it,
Instead, he solemnly said, “At my age, I might not get another chance to find her. If you do, tell her
it’s been too long.”
“But….”
As Milly hesitated, the medal in her hand shed like a malfunctioning light flickering under the night
sky.
Milly and Thomas needed that short moment to see everything clearly beneath the night sky.
Milly was taken aback, struggling toprehend what she saw. She took another look. Could
medals nowe with a night mode? Or is there some switch or something?
Standing beside her, Thomas was just as surprised and quickly looked at Milly, his eyes wide,
reflecting a swirl of unclear emotions.
Despite theck of hostility in his look, his experiences from the war had honed a certain intensity in
his gaze that was hard to miss.
How long had it been?
He couldn’t remember thest time he saw the medal glow..
When she had given it to him, she mentioned it would guide her back if she lost her way. She might
forget, but the medal would always remember him.
So, has he been waiting around all this time?
Thomas smiled, his voice suddenly light, “Long time no see.”
Milly was confused. “What?”
Now, she was really thrown off, sensing something was off, but couldn’t quite figure out what it was.
Didn’t Commander Scathings greet his old buddy with ‘Long time no see‘? Why’s he saying it as if
he’s talking to himself now? And on a closer look, that medal wasn’t just any regr piece.
Thinking about asking for some exnation, Milly looked up only to see Thomas had already left.

The bracelet, quiet for so long, started to shake violently out of nowhere.
Medal and bracelet.

This time, Milly didn’t attempt to stop the shaking. Instead, she just watched it, deep in thought,
trying to make sense of it.
In her view, this world always felt like something straight out of a novel. She was convinced that
everything around her was pre–written, as if everyone acted out their parts in a story, following a
script to the letter.
But was it really like that?
She started feeling like many things were beginning to veer off from what she remembered in the
story. The arrival of the bracelet, changes in the brothers, the monk, and now the medal … It all
seemed to connect, yet it made zero sense. Who was actually behind all this?
Was her showing up here changing things?
If so, what did that mean for Milly? After all, she was in Milly’s body now, so what happened to the
original Milly? And if this was all just one big story, when it all ends, what happens to everyone here,
herself included?
Was everything just a big mystery?
It was the first day back at school in no time.
Since Milly didn’t live on campus, she just had to show up to get registered.
She wanted toplete all the paperwork today and return to her ce, ready for sses
tomorrow.
But before she could even get out of her car, there was already a bit of a disagreement.
Jordan was dressed to impress, in a sharp suit and tie, his hair perfectly done by a stylist that
morning, looking every bit the part of a top executive. However, his expression had turned cold and
unweing. “Are you telling me I can’te with you?”
“Uh…”

Milly bit her lip and responded, “Jordan, we had a deal that you won’t reveal who I am. If you walk in
with me, won’t that set off the rm?”
Jordan didn’t budge. “Can’t I just drop by your school for a business reason?”
Milly stood her ground, “Sure, but let’s not walk in together. How about you head in first, and I’ll
come inter?”
Jordan wondered what the point would be if they couldn’t go in together
Just then, Anthony caught wind of their talk and said eagerly, “Hey, Milly, since Jordan can’t go with
you, how about I join you instead? Everyone knows I’m connected to the Buts.”
