“Seeing Sienna again brought back memories from before, but it made me think more of my mother. I don’t know why, but Sienna smelled like my mother. At that time, Sienna happened to be going through something awful, so I helped her, and as a token of gratitude, she decided to join me on the journey.”
“I took Sienna at her word and agreed, but it didn’t last long. I don’t know exactly what happened, but things took a turn for the worse. It seemed I couldn’t control myself anymore, and I would often do things I didn’t even remember doing. Then I lost my memories completely, and was reduced to being a total tool for Sienna.”
“It was also Sienna who asked me to pawn off the pendant because it was able to awaken some of my memories. When the pendant was pawned off, I completely became her weapon. I know that Sienna has joined some bizarre organization that is mysterious and has done many unthinkable things.”
“It wasn’t until I met you that I regained my memory! It was your voice, Defender, that awakened my lost memories. However, I didn’t show it immediately. I had to keep pretending. I had to find out what this organization wants. I had to find out their plans. That’s why I hurt you that day. I hurt you to convince Sienna that I hadn’t regained my memories.”
After listening to Liam, Greedy Wolf realized as he raised his hand and patted it on Liam’s shoulder, saying, “You are still the omnipotent general I know from the Battlefield.”
Kayden nodded, then said, “I knew it when you struck me. I also knew you would come back for me sooner or later. The Zodiac Generals could never betray me.”
It was a proud declaration and a confident statement.
Hearing this, Liam nodded his head and said, “Defender, I was born for you and will die protecting you! I have been loyal to you all my life, and my life belongs to you.”
His words were full of passion.
Kayden smiled, then asked, “Is that all you know about this organization?”
Liam nodded slightly and said, “All I know is that Sienna doesn’t hold a high place in these and takes orders from a woman. It seems that the woman is her superior. It’s a pretty powerful organization with power and powerhouses. The powerhouses are extraordinary and have been unknown to the world.”
It seemed that Kayden underestimated the power of this organization. He had thought that Liam could be a strong help in learning his enemy, but Liam couldn’t even reach the inside. In other words, up to now, the one who had been manipulating him was not even a core member of that organization. How strong were they?
Thinking about this, Kayden couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed, but he was still grateful to Liam. So he said to Liam, “Just find the woman you mentioned for me.”
Liam nodded and said, “Yes, sir.”
“Defender!” said Liam, suddenly seriously clasping his fists, “I request to come back and serve you!”
“Approved! Get up!” Kayden replied calmly.
Liam responded with a heavy yes before standing up gleefully.
They talked a while longer and Liam left the resort after learning a bit about the current situation. He didn’t want to arouse Sienna’s suspicions, lest he miss any opportunity.
Once Liam had left, Kayden got up and headed for the door. He hadn’t realized that so many unbelievable things had happened in the three short years since he had been injured. A mysterious organization was still trying to manipulate him.
Tonight’s night sky was beautiful, dotted with stars. And the surrounding area was filled with the sound of insects and birds chirping. As it was not a holiday, there were no tourists here, and naturally, no people were staying at the resort.
It was already all, but the night sky was so beautiful.
The Dragon Hold Resort was indeed a special place, with everything arranged with thought. The layouts were studied and exquisite.
It must have been designed by some expert. Kayden also knew something about Feng Shui, so when he saw the layouts, he couldn’t help but praise the person who designed them.
Feng Shui had been a national heritage of Seclela and still was. Everyone in the country respected the area of study, especially those who were rich and educated.
Kayden was pondering what kind of person the owner of this resort was when he suddenly heard the sound of two men talking.
“Master, what do you mean by that? I am too ignorant to understand.”
An old man’s voice rang out, “When nine stars align, the East will be faced with drastic changes. The clouds cover the stars before a storm.”
“I don’t quite understand.”
Kayden arrived at a cliff, only to see the two men enjoying the night sky.
A white-robed, immortal-looking old man was stroking his long beard as he watched the stars. And another old man in a suit with a fat body stood aside in a puzzled manner.
Suddenly, the old man seemed to sense something, and then, he turned around and said, “There’s an honored guest in your resort and he’s walking toward us.”
After hearing his words, the man in suit also turned around, just to see Kayden walking towards the two of them.
“I’m sorry I interrupted you.” Kayden took the initiative to apologize.
The old man held his long beard and laughed, “You have the hands of many lives and souls as well as an extraordinary demeanor. You must be a legend on the battlefield, young man.”
His words made Kayden stand still, his eyes showing respect. The old man really was a master! One look and the old man knew his identity! If he wasn’t wrong, the old man was who designed this place.
He must be a recluse, a remarkable man.
So Kayden stepped forward, bowed, and said, “My respect, sir.”
The old man laughed, his laughter echoing through the canyon and somehow sounding a little scary.
“Defender,” The old man called him without the slightest hint of hesitation, then bowed to him as well.
Quintin looked at Kayden and said with quite a bit of surprise, “You are a Defender! No wonder my Master said that I’m going to meet an important figure shortly. It seems you are it.”
Quintin was the owner of Dragon Hold Resort, and the old man indeed designed the whole place.
“May I know who you are, sir?” Kayden inquired politely.
The old man looked at Kayden but didn’t answer the question. There was a change in his expression. He became a little surprised as he asked, “Defender, may I ask, do you know Eldridge?”
