Chapter 414


    “To take out the enemy of the country! The enemy who abetted Kan Bender


    in betraying Chanaea! The enemy who put our country through so much


    unimaginable suffering!” Santiago replied briefly, showing his trust in his


    mentee, Emmanuel. Deep down, he trusted his own judgment about


    Emmanuel, believing he could perform as well as he used to before despite


    not being as fit as his former self.


    Emmanuel was surprised, not expecting Santiago to assign him with such a


    mission. “Master, I…”


    “What’s wrong? Have you lost your guts or something?” Santiago interrupted


    Emmanuel when thetter didn’t give him an affirmative answer. “It’s been


    three years! The punishment that the country imposed on you back then is


    no longer effective, so what are you waiting for? Don’t you want to avenge


    your deadrades? Don’t you want to do something about the humiliation


    the Wolf Warrior Unit suffered, as well as the Northern Region’s defeat?”


    Bang! Agitated, Santiago mmed the wooden table with his palm and


    broke it into two. At the same time, the old man’s hair billowed in the air as his


    sleeves fluttered in an intimidating manner. As the Northern Region’s


    experiencedmander, Santiago’s charismatic persona and persuasive


    words seemingly awoke the passion within Emmanuel, who had left his


    career for the past three years. “Avenge our brother! Kill our enemies!”


    Emmanuel also echoed his mentor’s words.


    As the atmosphere intensified with their emotions, Santiago went on to


    bellow in anger, saying, “Those people would do anything for their personal


    gains at the cost of the country’s interest. After so many years, that man is


    still atrge, and because he has a hugework of connections, he takes


    advantage of the rich and powerful to cover for his tracks. Can you tolerate


    this?”


    “Who exactly is he?” Emmanuel asked with a cial look on his face,


    wondering what kind of rtionship that mysterious person had with the


    Zelinsky family.


    Instead of answering Emmanuel’s question directly, Santiago ced a


    brocade bag in front of Emmanuel. When Emmanuel opened it, he saw a


    picture of an individual and, some documents rted to the person’s identity.


    At the sight of that, he felt goosebumps running all over his body, his eyes

    filled with disbelief. “Well, I can’t force you to rejoin the squad if you insist, but


    since you’ve epted this mission, this is your payment. The contract will be


    effective for two years, so don’t let me down.” Santiago then ced a golden


    card right in front of Emmanuel.


    “But…” Emmanuel was filled with mixed feelings, knowing the card was no


    ordinary item when he nced at it. I bet I’m going to have a lot of money to


    spend with this card, but I’m someone who made a terrible mistake in the


    past, so do I really deserve this?


    Nheless, Santiago waved his hand, his agitated reaction slowly turning


    into a benevolent and calm look. “These awards were given to you back then.


    Thus, they belong to you. Now that you’ve killed Kan and returned to the


    Northern Region once more, I’m just returning the things you left behind three


    years ago to their rightful owner.”N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    Emmanuel felt touched, thinking Santiago was just like a loving father to him.


    “By the way, if you’re going back, don’t go back directly to Yeringham!”


    Santiago reminded Emmanuel after discussing important business with him.


    Emmanuel nodded as a gesture that meant he understood Santiago,


    showing he didn’t need his mentor to borate. After all, he knew how


    important it was to keep his whereabouts mysterious. Furthermore, his n


    was to kill the main enemy behind the treason conducted against Chanaea,


    which was all the more reason for him toy low, or his enemy would know


    he was onto them. Thus, he did everything he could to keep his whereabouts


    a secret and was even thinking about taking a few days off in another city to


    create some confusion.


    Half a monthter, Mackenzie was hosting a board meeting in the


    conference room at Terence Group. “Mr. Schwartz, your on-time delivery date


    has gone down by 30 percent this quarter. If this continues, you can prepare


    your resignation letter this month.”


    “Mr. Lanaway, it appears that your marketing strategy is working. Our next


    target is to expand our reach to the Southwest region and increase our


    coverage by 30 percent!”
