Chapter 413
No way! Emmanuel nodded. “Yeah, there is indeed someone I can never
forget!”
“What?!” Santiago realized he had been wrong about Emmanuel, spitting the
tea out of his mouth in disbelief. What?! No way! thought the old man to
himself,
“It’s my mother. Her health has worsened these days. Since my sister is
already married, I reckon I must return home to look after her,” Emmanuel
responded sincerely.
Upon hearing Emmanuel’s reply, Santiago heaved a sigh of relief. For a
second, he thought Emmanuel had found someone he loved. Shortly after
that, he let out a sigh and nodded. Well, a true man should also care about
his family besides fighting for his country.
“Moreover, I already have a crush on someone, and I can’t just leave her
behind like that, which is why I don’t think I’m fit to fight on the battlefield
anymore.” Emmanuel’s next response left Santiago startled as he spat the
ck tea on the former’s face.
“W-What did you just say? You have a crush on someone?!” Santiago was
stupefied. Goodness! If my granddaughter finds out about this, she’s going to
make a big scene about it.
Emmanuel wiped off the droplets on his face, wondering why Santiago was
so agitated. What’s so surprising about having a crush on someone?
“In that case, I guess I have to tell you the situation about the Northern
Region.” Santiago eventually decided to tell Emmanuel about the Northern

Region after some hesitation, for he was afraid he would never see him again
if he made up his mind not to return.
Emmanuel nodded as he was concerned about the Northern Region as well.
After all, the ce was like a second home to him.
“When you left the Northern Region back then, many people wanted to take
over your position as the new captain. Nevertheless, your outstanding
performance left a pair of big shoes to fill. Needless to say, whoever took over
your ce often had to put up with the pressure of being severely criticized.
Because of that, the Wolf Warrior Unit became divided as everyone refused
toe together. As a result, many tough and difficult missions became
hard to aplish, unlike how they used to be,” Santiago said despondently,
implying that Emmanuel’s return as the Wolf Warrior was the only way for the
squad to triumph like before.
Nevertheless, Emmanuel was seen with aplicated look on his face, but
even so, he didn’t ept his mentor’s offer, knowing he could never perform
as well as he used to.
Santiago became irritable. “Emmanuel, are you seriously going to stand by
and watch the Northern Region and the Wolf Warrior Unit fall?”
“You think too highly of me, Master! I have be nothing different from an
ordinary man ever since getting severely wounded three years ago.
Furthermore, I still have something I cannot forget. I’m sorry about that!”
replied Emmanuel helplessly.
“s, you’re such a disappointment, son! How many times have I taught you
this? Without our country, neither of us would survive until now. Have you
really forgotten your mission as a warrior for the Northern Region?” Santiago
let out a sigh once more.
How can I forget? Emmanuel thought to himself. Every warrior and soldier in
the Northern Region knew their purpose as they all had an obligation to fight
for Chanaea until theirst breath.
When Emmanuel still hadn’t changed his mind even after Santiago’s
persistent persuasion, thetter sighed and said, “You took back the Wolf
Warrior Tablet, rascal! Naturally, you’re going to be his master! Furthermore,
even if you agree to return to the Northern Region, your reinstatement won’t
be easy either. Anyway, since you don’t want toe back, I’ll make an
exception for someone outside of the Wolf Warrior Unit to undertake a
triple-S ss mission.”
“What kind of mission is that?” Emmanuel paused and asked. After all, he
didn’t think he was as fit as he used to be before, not to mention his
reluctance to return to the battlefield. Therefore, he didn’t understand why his
mentor still trusted him so much.
