Adopted Soldier

The Southern Union obviously knew the reason for Lyner’s supposed visit to the country . Most of the higher-ups of the Southern Union knew of the relationship between Lyner and the Saintess . Of course, they told the Saintess that she was being targeted by an unknown force and needed to be careful .

The Saintess Anita was one of the three Saints of the Southern Union . Unlike the other two Saints who were made for battle, Anita was more of a healer . She was considered to be the best doctor in the Southern Union . Her medical skill was Godly as long as you were still somehow in one piece, no matter the injury she would be able to heal you . Though she could also hold her own with even some of the S rank mercs .

Not only that Saintess Anita would heal anyone no matter their nationality or the status in life, to her all who ask for help are worth saving . Not only was she a good doctor, and has a kind heart, she was also extremely beautiful . With her amber hair tied in a ponytail, and her pure white skin coupled with her slender waist and long legs, made her extremely desirable . With these three factors, Saintess Anita had overwhelming popularity among the citizens especially the men .

If she knew that Lyner was in the country same as before she would stop everything she was doing and head towards him without the care in the world . That’s what most of the higher-ups believed . They then remembered her reaction ten years ago when Lyner left the country . She was a twenty-two-year-old woman at the time and was very passionate . So learning of Lyner’s departure without saying goodbye or answering her proposal she went into a frenzy .

That was the first time the people of the Southern Union saw their beloved Saintess act that way . It was like an angel suddenly turning into a demon . She demanded the Berdonian Government to hand over Lyner .

Of course, the Berdonian Government protected their strongest citizen from the accursed witch . They denied her request which made her even madder than before . It took the other two Saints cooperating to calm her down .

Who knew after ten years the unlucky star would come back .

. . .

Anita was in a hotel room, with guards in the other rooms supposedly here to protect her from some unknown terrorist . She didn’t like this arrangement since she didn’t like the idea of other people getting hurt for her sake .

Still, she had no choice since the people on top insisted . Anita sat lay down on the bed wondering what was happening . Why would some unnamed terrorist group go after her life at this time?

’Though this has happened before, never did the Government deem it necessary to protect me this heavily . There must be something deeper going on . . . ’

While Anita was thinking of what to do next, she turned on her laptop and started to check her mail . After doing that she started to look at some popular videos online . When she was looking around she found a live video that caught her interest immediately .

In that video, there was a familiar looking man . The man wore a casual shirt and shorts and was laying on the beach in a long chair while sipping from a coconut . This one man who looks like he was there simply enjoying a vacation was surrounded by more than a dozen men with guns at hand .

After showing this the video suddenly cut off . Anita was so surprised to see that man in a video . That man was the man she kept on remembering every now and then . The one and only man who was able to steal her heart . This man was none other than the monster of the battlefield, Lyner .

She started to search for more information about the incident in the video, but most forums that had this topic were immediately brought down for some reason . Seeing this Anita finally understood who the unnamed terrorist group was . It was Lyner all along, the higher-ups wanted to hide the information that Lyner was in the Southern Union .

Based on them actively hiding her, Anita had guessed that Lyner was here for her . She couldn’t ask the bodyguards since she knew that their purposes were not to help her but to keep her safe for Lyner .

Anita then started to contact the people she knew that were good with computers, to see if they can find that video of Lyner and track where he was . Or it could be he would head there . . . It was possible that he would go to the place where she proposed to him .

Anita decided to take the chance and head there to that place .

. . .

Lyner who had antagonized a local mafia group knew that they would attack him and attract some kind of attention . He was resting as he sipped from the coconut that he was holding . Doing this made the men who surrounded him furious of his actions .

They were the ones with the superior number and were pointing their guns at him, but why does it feel like they were the ones who were cornered .

"I bet somebody got a picture or a video of that, or somebody could have hacked into the CCTV camera over there . Well, it doesn’t matter how I hope Anita gets the message and heads there . "

The surrounding men couldn’t understand what Lyner was talking about, but it was clear he wasn’t talking to them . It felt like to him they were nothing but air .

"Better clean up the trash, before heading out . " A sudden flash came out from Lyner’s hands, the surrounding men couldn’t react on time, and before they knew it their heads were pierced by throwing knives .

"I’m already done with cleanup? . . . As expected cleaning trash isn’t even a good warm up . Well, I’m sure when I get to that place, maybe the two Saint will come to stop me . . . How exciting . " Lyner couldn’t help but smile just thinking about the upcoming battle with people on his level .
