"That's normal. A lot of people like to hang photos on the wall. It's a type of decoration. But the technology that was used for those photos could only be found 100 years ago, so, that indirectly explains just how wealthy the village is. There must've been some treasures hidden there, right?" Eli guessed. "Yeah, they are probably very rich, because those photos were really, really old. But there were too many photos of different people there. It seemed as though they were portraits of all of the villagers there," Sean continued. "I'm guessing that the old lady is the Chief of the village, right?" "Nope, the young lady is the Chief of the village. The old lady is the servant of their family. She prepared dinner for my friends according to the Chief's orders." "People in that old village are so considerate and kind," Eli smiled lightly. Sean smiled, then continued, "My friend needed to use the toilet, so he went out, but he didn't know where the door was. W
Eli felt a chill run down her spine, "Sean, that's enough. Your classmate escaped in the end, right?" "Do you not want to listen to the rest of the story?" Sean asked as he looked at her. Eli shook her head. After all, she was still a young girl at that time, "I don't want to hear it. Stop trying to scare me." "That village isn't that far from here," Sean said. "Ah!" Eli screamed. She held Sean's arm and said pitifully, "Stop scaring me." Sean was very satisfied with Eli's reaction. He didn't expect her to throw herself into his arms. He put his arm around her shoulder and said, "I'm not scaring you. It's true. My classmate and I are still in touch. When we go back, I'll ask him to tell you more about it. However, his other classmates were not so lucky." "Did they all die?" Eli held him tighter, her body shivering. "Not only did they all die, but if you remember what I said about the photos on the wall, then you should know by now that those pe
However, when she thought about it, she realized that he did bring her here to experience something new. After all, he did not have to come along and suffer through this with her. Although she did not know what she could do with her newfound knowledge, she still thought that being stranded in a tired and miserable state while enduring such hardships made her emotions surge. She felt the passion and excitement that she had never felt before. She smiled once more, and Sean smiled with her. He could not deny the fact that her emotions had a fatal influence on him. Eli mouthed the words, "I'm hungry." "You could take a bite, just remember to keep your head down," Sean said. He then stood up and went out. Eli did not know where he was going. She wanted to stop him, but when she heard gunshots from a distance away, she quickly lowered her head. Sean said that she could eat, but she had to keep her head down and do it silently. Dying of hunger was a bigger
"Quick Report: Team 2 has been wiped out. They have been eliminated in advance." Eli understood, "So they will also report it when a whole team has been wiped out. If Team 2 is not here, that means that the other teams are probably in battle or a stalemate, just like we are now, right?" Sean nodded. "How long will this training take?" Eli was starting to feel uneasy in her heart. "Ten days, maybe even half a month." Eli was dumbfounded. Who was the one who said that it would only take a few hours? "What if it rains? It always rains in forests," Eli asked. "There should be some medicine for colds and infections in the supplies. There might even be umbrellas, tents, or something of the sorts." Eli was speechless. She thought about her own hat emitting smoke and complained, "Why did you insist on bringing me to the training? Just how badly do you want to see me miserable? It was so rare for me to have a few days of relaxation. I
The more relaxed he was, the more serious people thought he was. His eyes were colder than frost and filled with killing intent. "One should be responsible for their actions..." The mercenary was scared, his forehead dripping with cold sweat. "You are not qualified to be the responsible one. Reveal the person who has hired you, and I give you ten million dollars for you to leave your job and be with your family. Otherwise, you and your family shall enjoy your time in hell. Of course, you will not have much time to think about this. After all, your companion was just knocked out cold. Perhaps he would be willing to confess once he wakes up," Sean said coldly. The masked mercenary took his mask off and his face was slightly pale. It seemed that he had no choice, "I don't know his exact identity. We communicate through emails and telephone. I received a notice yesterday. He asked me to come to this island to kill Eli." "If the information that you provide is useles
Sean came up to Team 1's Commander and gave him his hat in return for Eli's. He also gave them two flags and patted him on the shoulder. The Commander raised his head in respect and saluted Sean. He didn't even know when the President had gotten the flag, nor how he had managed to retrieve it amidst the chaos. Sean looked dignified and refined as a bright smile was formed on his face. He commanded Aldred with confidence and arrogance, "Send an airplane over to 16'27." "Understood," Aldred replied. Sean looked at the masked mercenary lying on the ground and ordered, "Team 27, carry your injured colleagues on your backs and follow me. The rest of you should stay and bury the bodies, then gather at the base." "Roger that," all members saluted in unison. Sean marched towards the front. Eli immediately followed him and asked in confusion, "Why are we stopping the training all of a sudden?" "We have already gotten the present. Therefore,
Yvonne smiled at 'Natasha' gently as she stood up. She placed her hands at the front of her abdomen and kept her elegance throughout as she spoke softly, "What do you think of my appearance when compared to Eli?" "Eli is only beautiful and pleasing to the eye. No one could compare to your beauty, not even your sister! If only you weren't living in seclusion in M Country, the first lady in Country M would have definitely been you and not Rebecca," 'Natasha' said as she looked at her with pity. "What do you think about my body and personality then, compared to hers?" Yvonne continued to ask. "Your figures are similar, but she is a little plumper and taller than you. However, in terms of personality, she is very straightforward and she has obviously been raised in a carefree environment ever since she was young. She is naive, romantic, willful, amiable, and easy-going, which makes people feel comfortable to get along with. However, a girl like her could be easily found i
Yvonne raised her head and looked at 'Natasha' with tears in her eyes. "I couldn't possibly let Hodge expose me. He must die before Sean gets to interrogate him." "I'll get to it right now. You should calm your emotions and make sure that Sean doesn't find out about this. He's too smart and intuitive," 'Natasha' instructed. "Please be careful, Natasha. I won't be able to live too if you ever get caught," Yvonne exclaimed. 'Natasha' nodded and quickly left the President's Mansion. ...... Eli was full after having her meal. She returned to her room and wondered if she could visit Stella. However, she was troubled at the thought of her mother and how Stella had betrayed her. The more one cared about another person, the harder it would be for them to be forgiven. This was the irony of life. Eli pondered upon the thought and became annoyed when she couldn't come to a decision. She decided to play a few games to ease her tension but her guilt r
