Chapter 118 You’ll Never Walk Alone
Following Leones’s request, Gloria drove him straight home. Leones planned to continue concocting some elixirs for unexpected needs.
Meanwhile, in Zombric, the central military tent.
“Mr. Waltson!”
Veronica’s arrival surprised Carlos, who had just returned to the camp. And when he heard about
the events following her departure from Sherland, he was even more shocked.
“You said… you led a team and took down the Lewis Club?!” Carlos’s face changed slightly.
“Yes!” Veronica then took out a list and handed it to Carlos. “And I also got this.”
Carlos took the list, glanced at it, and his expression grew even graver. He naturally understood the implications of this list.
“Did you submit this list? Has anyone else seen it?” Carlos quickly asked.
“The list was kept private by me. I haven’t submitted it, and no one else has seen it.” Veronica wasn’t naive; she knew that fewer people should know about such a sensitive list. Submitting the list would not only cause an uproar but also implicate related personnel.
“Good job,” Carlos said approvingly, even though it broke the rules. He then took the list and, without hesitation, began to burn it over a candle.
“Mr. Waltson!” Veronica, seeing this, rushed forward and snatched it away. But still, a third of the names were burnt off.
“What?” Carlos asked, “Do you want to continue investigating? You should realize that there are some names on this list, that even I would have to be cautious about!”
“I don’t know,” being young and inexperienced, Veronica had never encountered a case with such wide implications before. “That’s why I wanted to consult with you.”
“My advice?” Carlos smiled, “Stay here in my camp.
“Even though you’ve stirred up a hornet’s nest this time, no one can touch you while you’re with
me.”
In Carlos’s view, since the list hadn’t been leaked, keeping Veronica in his camp was the safest option.
“Stay here for a while to avoid attention.” Carlos said.
Hearing this, Veronica remained silent. She didn’t want to hide.
“I can’t hide here forever,” Veronica stated defiantly. “And you can’t protect me forever, can vou?”
Seeing her resolute face, Carlos laughed heartily. “Although we are not related by blood, you possess the same fearless spirit I had when I was young!”
“But I have grown old. When faced with this situation, my first thought was to avoid it Ah how fleeting a hero’s courage can be,” Carlos sighed deeply, finding it unexpected that even a war god like him could have moments of fear. “Had this been ten years ago, even if the sky were talking be there punching a hole right through it”
Carlos then patted Veronica’s shoulder, encouraging her, “Go on, then! Since you abreach have your answer, there’s no need to ask me lust go and do what you need to de Fil always support
SELL
”
With Carlos support the weight on Veronica’s mind was lifted
me because she was afraid, but because she was concerned about implicating Carlos, Mutin is with Carlos’s clear stance, she could return and face the storm head–on.
Take care, Mr. Waltson,” she said and then left the tent without looking back.
Remember, Carlos’s voice echoed from inside the tent, “when facing powerful enemies, not only use brute force but also use your brain! You might be facing many enemies, but remember, you have many friends too. You’ll never walk alone.”
After leaving the camp, Veronica immediately boarded a helicopter, heading back to Sherland.
Upon landing, she received a call from her deputy, Lois, “Ma’am, something’s wrong. The owner of Lewis Club, Isaac, who was detained, was assassinated!”
What?!
Veronica was taken aback. She hadn’t expected the enemy to act so swiftly.
It hadn’t even been a full day, and an assassin had managed to strike unnoticed.
“To silence him…” Veronica murmured, her brow furrowed. It made sense for the club owner, who knew many secrets, to be silenced.
And if there was to be another victim, it would most likely be her.
Realizing the danger, Veronica suddenly felt uneasy. If the assassins couldn’t find her at the Commandery Manor after killing Isaac, they would undoubtedly head to her house.
“No! Ariella…” The realization hit Veronica hard.
Ariella was still at home and might encounter these assassins.
“Quick – prepare the car! Take me home!” Veronica immediately rushed home.
Meanwhile, inside the Gloriland Manor.
Ariella was doing her leg rehabilitation training at home when the villa’s alarm system suddenly went off. The surveillance showed someone had broken in.
“How could this be?!” Ariella, having never experienced this before, froze in place.
She quickly recalled what her friend Veronica had told her, “If trouble ever arises, run up the mountain and seek help from Kenton.”
Run!
This thought flashed through Ariella’s mind as she hurriedly fled from the backyard.
