Chapter 412
On the other hand, the military camp in the Northern Region was filled with a
cold breeze. At the same time, the buildings there looked like mighty huge
beasts guarding their kingdom, Chanaea, keeping outsiders from setting foot
on theirnd.
At that moment, Emmanuel appeared to be serving an old man a cup of
ck tea in a spacious room. Served with the mostmon drink in the
military camp, the old man with gray hair seemed touched as he excitedly
raised the cup and took a sip. “Finally, haha! It’s been three years since Ist
drank the tea you made. I must say that you make the best ck tea in the
world.” While the man had a huge liking for drinking tea, it was in fact the
person whom he had missed.
Eight years ago, when the old man found Emmanuel among hundreds of
elites and discovered his talent in healing, he was so excited that he couldn’t
sleep. For the next few years, he dedicated all his time and effort to training
and making Emmanuel the Northern Region Wolf Warrior. Nevertheless,
Emmanuelter made a mistake as he was still too young and impulsive.
Troubled by that, he reluctantly decided to leave the Northern Region, which
came as a disappointment to the old man. Therefore, when he finally
reunited with Emmanuel three yearster, he couldn’t help but feel happy
about it.
“I’m sorry, Master!” Emmanuel spoke tersely like he always did, letting out a
sigh after that.
As Emmanuel’s mentor and the Northern Region’smander, Santiago
Adkins had sacrificed and made a lot of contributions to his nation. Therefore,
Emmanuel was especially grateful to have a respectable figure like Santiago
as his mentor.
In the first few years of his career, Emmanuel performed outstandingly on the
battlefield to repay his mentor. However, things took a turn for the worse in
the Battle of Waterloo three years ago.
Having made a mistake during that battle, he decided to put a stop to his
career to atone for his errors. As time flew, three years passed by without him.
knowing it. Heter went on to kill the traitor, Kan Bender, but despite that, he
couldn’t make the guilt that was gnawing at him go away.
“Hmph! What’s the point of apologizing?! Have you returned to repay me by
resuming your military career?” Santiago suddenly became serious. “Do you
still remember how I used to teach you? No matter how many times he falls
down, a true man always gets back up.”
“Master, I…” Emmanuel swallowed his words, not knowing what to say next. In
fact, the reason Emmanuel left was not only because of his own reasons but
also because he was forced to take responsibility for the war that was lost in
the Northern Region. Right after he left the task force, it didn’t ur to him to
return to the Northern Region again. After all, he was so devastated by his
disheartenment that he no longer saw a purpose in his own life.
“Well, if you know your mistakes, you must right the wrongs!” Santiago could
sense Emmanuel’s dispirited morale, but even so, he went on to strictly say,
“Kan Bender was the one who betrayed the Wolf Warrior Unit. Although your
took his lifeter on, the actual mastermind is still atrge. I don’t care
whether you’re back to avenge your deceased brothers, but I know you must
take responsibility and resume the mission!”
“Well…” Emmanuel became hesitant upon hearing that. After all, he didn’t
think about resuming his military career, but his vengeance had never
stopped reminding him to avenge his deadrades.
The members of the Wolf Warrior Unit were rather close with each other, so
Emmanuel could never forget about the times they fought side by side in the
most life-threatening situations. Despite countless near-death experiences,
the bonds that they built between each other were stronger than the world’s
toughest shield.
Among the squad, Emmanuel used to call the youngest soldier Blockhead. He
once smiled and told Emmanuel that he would return home and visit his
family when the battle was over, but unfortunately, he didn’t live to see
another day during the battle. I will avenge you, Blockhead!
“What’s wrong? Did you get lost in the world out there? Is that why you refuse.
to return even until now?” Santiago teased Emmanuel, but deep down, he
knew how righteous and honest of a person his mentee was. After all,
Santiago’s granddaughter was deemed to be the prettiestdy in the
Northern Region. While she subtly expressed her feelings for Emmanuel to
him, the man didn’t seem to feel the same way, eventually leading to a
missed opportunity for them to be together. Because of that, Santiago didn’t

think Emmanuel would fall for any woman so easily, considering the fact that
he didn’t even fall for his beautiful granddaughter.

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.
