Although Lucas has confirmed that he has escaped from the surveillance network of the group of guys who are said to be protecting him, this does not mean that he can relax and take a good rest.
After all, if you don't really solve that potential threat, you won't be able to live in peace at all.
What's more, for myself, it is not just a question of "Who made Jonathan go missing", but also "Why didn't the above make me return to the team with Jonathan immediately after I returned to China?" There is no strengthening of protection and no one to investigate the truth.” This series of questions is what Lucas has to think about now.
So even if the Evans family prepared a dinner for them no matter how rich they were, and no matter how enthusiastic the friends he had helped unintentionally, Lucas would still feel this worried and swollen in his heart.
"Lucas, what trouble did you cause this time? I remember that your mercenary group is not small. Under normal circumstances, no one will provoke you casually!"
At the dinner table, old Evans accompanied his wife and children to pray, and after the dessert was served, he began to ask Lucas about the current situation.
"Of course, if it is inconvenient to say, don't say it. If you can call me, it means you can still trust my friend. Tell me, what do you need me to do?"
Without waiting for Lucas to organize the language, the old Evans, who had already felt Lucas' hesitation and distress, was very eye-catching and did not force Lucas to speak out what he had encountered. Instead, he looked at his old friend very sincerely.
Lucas was inexplicably moved when he heard the words of old Evans.
Although the old Lucas said that if it is inconvenient, you can leave it alone, but after all, he still has things to help the other party. When the other party's help is needed, it is obviously a bit too much to tell the truth about the other party's trust.
One can't do it well, but it's easy to self-defeating and ruin the relationship. If it develops like this, I am afraid that in the future, when I need help, I won't be treated as enthusiastically as I am today.
"In fact, there is nothing that can't be said."
Lucas smiled and put down the knife and fork gently. Elder Evans and Jr. Evans, who thought that Lucas would not explain to them, became serious when they heard what Lucas said.
"Hannah, take the kids to get their favorite soda, and William and I will stay with Lucas."
Old Evans reached out his hand to stop Lucas’s next words, and leaned forward to his wife, who was busy distributing food to the younger children. These little children happily left with their mothers. Lucas had a look that could be said.
"You know, I have been expelled from the army to be a mercenary for six or seven years, but in fact, the original case was not true."
Lucas was talking over there, and Evans suddenly nodded, expressing understanding, and at the same time trying to comfort his old friend and express his trust.
"I believe in your character."
Old Evans said so.
Lucas waved his hand to indicate the relationship between what he wanted to say and the relationship, and couldn't help but continue speaking slowly.
"No, no, I didn't mean that. I didn't feel wronged in this matter. In fact, there will be such a thing that was designed by me and the leaders, and the purpose is to get rid of the identity of our soldier and execute it. A new mission."
Old Evans was silent and did not speak, but the eyes of the conscripted message had revealed his surprise at this incident.
"... And this task is to join a mercenary group and deal with things that are not convenient for some countries to do with fanfare."
The lights in the restaurant are very bright, but I don’t know why after hearing what Lucas said, I have always seen the darkness of the underground world, and even experienced it. Old Evans living in the underground world suddenly felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.
Dealing with things that are not convenient for names in some countries...
Although the old Evans knew that he should be happy that his friend was not really excluded, but when he thought of all the things he had done in the diary over the years, the old Evans had heard some rumors. There is always a shuddering feeling in Si.
"And one of my most recent missions was the riots in Huaxia Capital, which was on the international news a few days ago."
Lucas said this, staring very solemnly at the two friends in front of him whose facial expressions were finally beginning to crack. There was no accident in my heart.
Shocked or even unbelievable, that's all normal. After all, the task I did not long ago was a real big event.
A mission that caused the entire mercenary team to be killed and wounded, only to return to himself and the Jonathan who didn't know his life or death.
"Wait, what are you talking about? You did the riot in China Capital!"
After hearing such news, little Evans was obviously not as calm as his father, so he blurted out a scream.
"It's not all right, William."
Lucas smiled and called the young guy's name, and then seriously explained the other party's misunderstanding.
"We were only involved in that matter. In fact, teams from many countries were involved in the turmoil. As far as I know, all of our actions are just to cover the design of the whole thing, an important task of that organization."
"What is the specific task?"
Little Evans's eyes were shining in the light, and the words were full of curiosity. As the boy's father, Old Evans couldn't help sighing silently after seeing his son's reaction and behavior.
"Sorry, this is beyond my authority, I really don't know. In short, the confidentiality level is very high, and it is a very important task."
Recommended, really good, it is worth installing, after all, you can cache books and read them offline!
As Lucas said so, the expression on his face was inexplicably sad.
"To be honest, I really want to know this answer. I think if I knew this answer, I wouldn't be so passive now."
Lucas said bitterly, while old Evans looked solemn, looking at his old friend who had begun to become stranger, he always felt that things were not that simple.
"In short, after the explosion in the capital, the only ones who came back alive were me and another companion named Jonathan."
Hearing that Lucas finally said something important and crucial, Evans sat slightly.
From the garden outside the window came the cheerful shouts of the children, and Hannah's occasional scolding. This made old Evans suddenly feel annoyed.
The riot in Huaxia Capital not long ago... It was not a trivial matter!
If Lucas really has a relationship with that thing in the car, I am afraid that what he can do is minimal. You may be dragged into the water by the other party, and you and your family will be completely far away from the current peaceful life.
What's more, if you intervene to help with ordinary things, you can help, but when it comes to the behemoth of China...How can you be right with such an opponent
Old Evans looked at his son who had listened to the story wholeheartedly, and with a look of amazement in his eyes. The son who was completely attracted by Lucas's description, the premonition of anxiety in his heart grew stronger.
I don’t know if Lucas finds himself at this time is a blessing or a curse...
"... Because of some unknown reasons, Jona and I have been staying in the hotel under the protection of the military. And they told me and Jonathan: The mercenaries are gone, our mission is over. Then we We can return to the troops quietly, with a secret file and the military ranks we deserve."
"and then?"
Listening to Little Evans’s inquiry, if it was a smile at his old friend my friend’s son, he slowly shook his head.
"Then Jonathan disappeared."
After hearing these words, Old Evans instantly tightened his nerves.
"There is no warning, and there is no search and rescue missing."
"Although those people told me to be careful and pay attention to safety when they told me things, I found that this so-called protection only limited my scope of activities."
Lucas pouted his lips in disdain, looking very dismissive of the group of experts' performance plans.
"What makes me most unbearable is that the disappearance of the little boy is like throwing stones on a calm lake. After a short period of waves, everything becomes the same as before."
"No one cares about Jonathan's disappearance where you went; no one cares whether Jonathan is still alive now; no one cares why not to look for Jonathan who has disappeared."
"except me."
There was a brief silence in the restaurant. Neither Lucas, Old Evans, or Little Evans spoke immediately.
On the one hand, he is digesting what he just heard, while on the other, he is waiting for his audience to understand what he wants to express.
"I think your relationship with Jonathan must be very good."
After thinking about what he had just heard, little Evans broke the silence in the room. (To be continued) (End of this chapter)
