Chapter 697
Emmanuel rolled his eyes and looked at Sage as if he were looking at
someone who had lost his mind. Sage no longer suspected he had gotten
the wrong person, and his emotions gradually calmed down. The more
flawless Emmanuel’s performance was, the more certain Sage was that the
man in front of him was his superior, the Northern Region Wolf.
Could Emmanuel be on a special mission, which was why could not expose
his identity?
as
“Ashton, drag the others out. I’ll deal with this case personally,” Sage suddenly
ordered her.
“Huh? Yes, sir!” she responded, saluting as she did so. She still could not
understand why he would refer to Emmanuel as his superior.
Sage ignored everyone else. When Ashton dragged the three men out of the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt-room, he immediately locked the metal door again, after which Emmanuel
smiled bitterly. By the looks of it, he could not escape acknowledging his
comrade even if he wanted to.
“Mr. Lowe, now that there are no outsiders around, please stop pretending if
you still consider me your comrade, okay?” Sage stared intently at Emmanuel
with a pleading gaze.
“Sorry, you must’ve gotten the wrong person. I have no idea what you’re
talking about.” Emmanuel still refused to do it.
“No! I won’t mistake anyone for you, even if I die! I may mistake the entire
world, but never you!” Sage gripped Emmanuel’s shoulders again, his
expressions vivid as he revealed his truest colors. “Do you remember the scar
on my face? That time on the battlefield, we ran out of bullets and got into
close combat with the enemy! I felled 28 enemies, but another seven holes
appeared on my body. I even got slashed on the face, and it was so seriously
messed up! Back then, I thought I was dead meat, but Mr. Lowe, you
descended from above and saved me. You even used your unique medical
skill to pull me back from the afterlife! My life belongs to you, so how can I
ever mistake anyone for you?”
Seeing how emotional and livid his comrade was, Emmanuel finally let out a
faint sigh.
“Mr. Lowe, why won’t you admit to your identity? Do you not consider me your
comrade anymore?” Sage continued howling, completely revealing the side
of him known as the Jade Beast. He was a handsome man, but he became a
beast on the battlefield instead!
Emmanuel’s heart throbbed. How could he not treat his comrades as they
were? In the past, he had chosen to forfeit the mission just to preserve his
comrades‘ lives! Now that he had accepted a new mission, he did not wish to
repeat his mistakes.
Before he accomplished the mission Kolton gave him, he did not want to
expose his identity to anyone, even if it was his comrade of times past, whom
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhe had not met for the past three years. He did not know what happened in
between, but he had also gone through the agonizing experience of being
betrayed by his comrade.
Especially now, he knew very well that Magnus had sent men to attack him.
However, the next moment, Sage suddenly seemed to be in extreme pain. He
clutched at his chest and crouched, his forehead instantly filled with giant
beads of cold sweat. His strong body started trembling uncontrollably.
“Hey, what’s up with you?” Emmanuel was instantly shocked.
Sage painstakingly produced a bottle of medicine from his pockets, then
shakily opened the cap. He then took half of the pills as if it were a meal.
Slowly, his body stopped shaking, but his face was still extremely pale.
Emmanuel grabbed the bottle of medicine and took a whiff. His expression
instantly turned panic as he said, “Who allowed you to take medicine like
that? This is a strong painkiller! Are you trying to die? Have you never
recovered all this while?”
