“What? You still don’t believe me?” L raised an eyebrow, sensing the other’s hostile gaze.


    Simeon snorted coldly. “You’re just a martial artist! I admit you may be stronger than me in terms of physical strength, but if it came down to life and death, you would be the one to die!”


    “Oh? Is that so?” L sneered.


    Simeon gritted his teeth. “Kid, on a real battlefield, physical strength ys a very limited role. Military training is the key to victory! Even if you have superior martial arts skills as an outsider, I could take your life from a kilometer away with my sniper rifle. Your fists and feet couldn’t even touch a hair on my body! And even if your martial arts skills are high enough to match modern heavy weapons like nes and tanks?”


    As he spoke, members of the Dragon Sword Brigade chimed in agreement.


    “That’s right! Martial arts skills mean nothing!”


    “If it came down to life or death situations, our captain could kill him instantly.”


    “We receive military training every day; that’s what true killing techniques are all about!”


    “Martial arts skills are just for fun.”


    At this point L smiled and nodded his head. “Yes! I admit that when ites down to life or death fights, you guys are better than me! You’re soldiers who protect your country. I really admire that.”


    Upon hearing this, Simeon was taken aback; he didn’t expect L would say something like this. With a cold snort, he took advantage of the opportunity to step back from confronting L any further.


    Turning around, he wiped away some blood from his mouth before addressing Eduard, “Eduard, everyone is here now right? Can we depart?”


    “Yes,” Eduard nodded in agreement.


    A few minutester, Conor was escorted onto an armored vehicle by several soldiers before seeing L again – his eyes filled with resentment towards him for exposing him as Ski spy.


    At 9:00 in the morning, the escorting force officially set out, leaving Ednd.


    The decision to travel bynd was made to ensure the absolute safety of the prisoner during transport to Iylonio. Air travel posed too many uncertainties, and any mishap would be irreversible.


    The goal was to extract everything Conor knew, and perhaps even gather information about other Ski spies within Priocia. Therefore, it was crucial that nothing went wrong with this individual.


    The escorting force was evidently divided into two groups. The Dragon Sword Brigade,ing from Iylonio, served as the main escort, while the Ednd Security District appeared more like apanying personnel.


    At this moment, L sat in a military vehicle with Stephen and ke.


    “L, you really let off some steam when you made that guy vomit blood earlier! Haha…” Orionughed.


    “These guys from Dragon Sword Brigade are all so arrogant!”


    “What’s so great about them? Even their captain got beaten up by L! Pfft!” Stephen and ke also praised L.


    It was clear that these three young soldiers were not fond of the members of Dragon Sword Brigade.


    L smiled. “It’s nothing special. Simeon wasn’t even one of their strongest fighters. There’s a female member among them who is quite good-looking. Did you notice her? She has simr strength to Eduard.”


    Upon hearing this, Stephen and his friends chuckled mischievously.


    “How could we not notice her? That girl is definitely the most beautiful soldier I’ve ever seen!” said Stephen with a smirk on his face.


    ke and Orion also had stars in their eyes as they talked about her beauty.


    The other security soldiers in the car joined in on discussing her too. After all, they were all men cooped up in camp without seeing any women for months on end. Sometimes even seeing a pig would make them feel like it was attractive – let alone such an incredibly beautiful woman like Fox from Dragon Sword Brigade!


    “I heard she’s an external staff member specially invited by Dragon Sword Brigade just like Mr. Willis,” said one soldier excitedly.


    “She’s really pretty! What’s her name?” asked another soldier curiously.


    “I don’t know what her real name is but I heard that members of Dragon Sword call her Fox. It should be some kind of code name or something,” replied another soldier confidently.


    “Yeah yeah! And apparently shees from Lucoork West too – she must be part of some secret sect or something!” added yet another excitedly.


    Listening to these discussions, especially upon hearing that the woman was from Lucoork West, L couldn’t help but perk up his ears.


    There was a newfound curiosity in L’s heart regarding this Fox from the Dragon Sword Brigade.


    The words “Lucoork West” carried both pain and a faint glimmer of hope for L.


    His parents disappeared from the human world when he was 18 years old, and Lucoork West was thest known location.


    Even now, L vividly remembered the appearance and smiles of his parents. His mother’s gentleness, his father’s stern yet loving gaze – everything felt as if it happened just yesterday.


    For years, L had countless dreams of the warm scene of his family of three. In the picture, his mother was busy in the kitchen wearing an apron, cooking her favorite braised pork ribs. His father sat next to him with a serious face supervising his studies and homework.


    Every time he woke up from such a dream, L found tears had already wetted his pillow and couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed with sadness.


    It was because he lost his parents that L treasured family affection even more and selflessly devoted himself to Nora. He pampered udia to the extreme as well but was hurt badly by that woman.


    “Mom, Dad! Are you still alive?”


    “Just unable toe back from some corner in Lucoork West!”


    “Right?”


    “Wait for me. I will definitely find you.” L thought silently in his heart.


    That evening!


    Their escort team passed through Jada’s border with Foria and entered a vast mountainous area after surveying the nearby terrain. They chose a rtively open area with good visibility and close proximity to water sources for temporary camping.


    Both members of Dragon Sword Brigade and soldiers from the security zone were busy doing their respective tasks methodically – setting up tents, being on guard duty, making fires for cooking…


    Only L seemed somewhat idle at this moment. His gaze couldn’t help but look towards Fox who was also busy building tents. When she bent over, a jade pendant hanging around her neck slipped out of her cor.


    Seeing this jade pendant caused L’s face to change suddenly; pupils shrinking involuntarily!


    “L, are you also checking out that beautiful woman?”Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    “Heheh… do you want me to go talk to her?”


    Orion approached L teasingly after seeing where he looked at before asking him these questions.


    “Sure!”


    L smiled slightly then nodded before walking towards Fox confidently while Orion muttered under breath, “Damn it! He really goes there?”
