Chapter 618


    Alexia stared at the man''s back as she inched toward him, her eyes filled with anticipation.


    Memories of the time when she was young came flooding back to her. She had lost both of her parents


    during the riot, causing her to be a lonely and helpless little girl whose life was in danger. It was


    then Keh showed up as if he was heaven-sent and freed her from her misery.


    At that thought, an unbidden smile touched her lips.


    I''ve waited too long for this day!


    She stood behind him and took a deep breath before voicing, “Savior!”


    Keh was still chatting with the men, so he had not noticed her. Even when he heard her voice, he


    did not give it much thought until one of the men beside him turned around and said, “Alexia? You''re


    back?”


    That had him turning around slowly.


    With the corner of her lips quirked into a smile, Alexia looked at Keh as if she only had eyes for


    him. “Savior.”


    Keh knew, without a doubt, that she was looking at him and talking to him.


    However, he had no recollection of her.


    Everyone wore puzzled expressions on their faces as they watched on.


    With a distant look in his eyes, Keh gave Alexia a once-over and queried, “You are?”


    “I''m Alexia. You saved me when I was a little girl,” she replied.


    He then narrowed his eyes as though he was searching through his mind for memories of her.


    Unfortunately, it was evident that nothing came up.


    “You don''t remember me?” Alexia asked, disappointment appearing in her eyes.


    Just then, Dave chimed in, “A riot broke out during one of our missions eight years ago. A young girl


    was almost shot by an arrow, but you saved her in the nick of time.”


    At the mention of that matter, Keh nodded contemtively. “I suppose something like that did


    happen.”


    A look of delight manifested on Alexia''s face.


    “That''s her. She''s all grown up now and has be a part of DX Group,” exined Dave.


    Alexia looked at Keh with anticipation, as if she was waiting for a response or to be praised by him.


    At that moment, she seemed to have returned to being a child.


    s, the man merely swept his gaze past her and nodded indifferently. “That did happen, but I can''t


    remember it clearly.” He then fixed his gaze on Dave and chided, “Seriously? You can''t even spare a


    child?”


    A child...


    Hearing those words, Alexia retorted, “I was a child when we met, but I''m not one anymore.”


    That took Keh by surprise. After snapping back to his senses, he nodded in acknowledgment. “I''m


    sorry. I didn''t mean anything else.”


    Yet, she frowned at his apology. “You don''t have to apologize to me, Savior. All these years, I''ve always


    wanted to meet you and thank you personally.”


    “Don''t mention it. Anyone would''ve done what I did back then.”


    Alexia shook her head, staring at him. “No, not everyone would do something like that.” She witnessed


    gruesome things during the riot, so she was very certain not many had the courage that Keh


    possessed.


    Keh cast his eyes downward. “What I meant was that anyone in DX Group would''ve done the


    same. Isn''t that right, Dave? You''d do it, too, right?”


    Dave nodded. “Indeed, but I''d be a step behind you.”


    Keh smiled at that.


    Even so, no matter what they said, Alexia still regarded Keh as her one and only savior and the


    first ray of light in her life.


    “It doesn''t matter if you don''t remember the incident. I still want to thank you from the bottom of my


    heart, and one day, I''ll definitely repay you for saving my life!” she dered.


    “There''s no need for repayment. Since you survived the ordeal, you should live well,” Keh replied.


    The young woman bobbed her head. “I will.”


    Without saying anything else, he nodded at her in acknowledgment before shifting his gaze toward


    Dave. “Why don''t we look for a quiet ce? I don''t have much time to spare since I have to head back


    soon.”


    “Let''s go upstairs,” thetter suggested.


    The two men turned around and left, with the other men following closely behind.


    Alexia wanted to say something, but Keh had already left by the time she raised her head.


    A smile yed about her lips as she stared at the man''s retreating figure. I knew I would see you


    again. If God truly exists, He''d give me an opportunity to repay you...


    That thought prompted her to smile even brighter than before.


    Upstairs, the jolly atmosphere soon turned heavy.


    “Boss, we know you haven''t gotten over what happened to Zavier, but it has been years since then. No


    one mes you, so you shoulde back to us...”


    “That''s right, Keh. Everyone was delighted to hear that you''d being back. None of us me


    you for what happened, so please,e back,” Mike persuaded. He knew Keh before DX Group


    was established, long before anyone else, and he had been following thetter ever since.


    Hearing their persuasion, Keh lifted his gaze and fixed his obsidian eyes on Mike. “You''re the one


    who told everyone I wasing back, right?”


    Mike was stunned for a moment. “You can''t me me for this, Keh. Many saw you as well...”


    “Only a few among them know who I am. Besides you, no one else can spread the word about my


    return so quickly.”


    Mike fell silent before murmuring, “Yes, it was me. I just wanted to see you and convince you toe


    back...”


    Keh sighed in resignation as he gazed at him.


    “Please, Keh. Come back!”


    “Yeah, Boss!”


    The other men chimed in as well.


    “Haven''t I already?” Keh retorted.


    “What we meant was for you to return to the base and continue to fight alongside us!”


    At that moment, Keh tilted his head to nce at Dave, who was making a call outside. “DX Group


    has been growing stronger day by day under Dave''s leadership. This shows that he''s a capable leader.


    Where does that leave him if you insist on having me back?” he questioned.


    Silence hung in the air as soon as those words fell from his lips.


    “Dave doesn''t mind, which shows that he doesn''t like being in charge, but it''s a fact that DX Group has


    made significant development since he became the leader. I don''t know what you guys are thinking, but


    I know that DX Group might not have turned out this way if I were the one who had been in charge,”


    Keh continued.


    None of them dared to say a single word upon hearing his utterances.


    After all, Keh was an intimidating man. Although he treated them like good buddies, his imposing


    aura alone was enough to render them speechless at critical moments.


    Once again, a sigh of resignation escaped Keh''s lips as he gazed at them. “I''m aware of your


    sentiments and appreciate your kind thoughts. For that, I can promise to visit often and keep in contact


    with everyone. However, there''s only one person in charge of DX Group, and that''s Dave. Have I made


    myself clear?”


    Convinced, the men bobbed their heads in unison.


    All of a sudden, Mike broached a question that caught everyone''s attention. “Keh, I heard you


    came back because of Vermillion Base. Is that true?”


    He was always good at keeping everyone in suspense.

    The rest of the men fixed their eyes on Keh, awaiting a response from the man himself.
