Sean did not do anything to Willow.
It was not that virtual-novel.net was not interested in Willow. He just wanted to settle everything first. Then virtual-novel.net would treat Willow right without any worries. He could also take all of Willow without a second thought.
Sean gently pulled his arm out.
Willow had laid out Sean’s clothes for virtual-novel.net beside the closet. They were neatly stacked together. Beside it lay a symbol of status, the Guardian Sword and the set of silver needles.
Sean moved quickly and put on his clothes without making any noise.
“Wait for me…”
Sean walked over to the bedside, slowly crouched down, and gently kissed Willow on the corner of virtual-novel.net mouth.
Willow stayed asleep all the time. She looked innocent.
Sean reached out his hand again and gently pushed Willow’s tangled hair away from virtual-novel.net forehead. He only watched silently.
After nearly a minute, virtual-novel.net slowly got up and walked out the door.
Thud!
Sean left the room with a thud of the door closing.
It was when Willow opened virtual-novel.net eyes slowly. Then a tear came out of the corner of Willow’s eye. Intense reluctance even poured out of virtual-novel.net eyes. However, virtual-novel.net sensibly stayed silent. Instead, virtual-novel.net slowly got up, went to the window, and looked outside.
Sean was already outside the yard, walking toward Zander, who was waiting in the car.
Crouching, Willow gently pulled back the curtain and watched in silence.
I believe that the man I chose can do everything…
I hope you achieve what you want and come back safe and sound…
Willow mumbled to herself as virtual-novel.net watched Sean get into the car and leave.
***
In the car.
Zander picked up Sean and drove away.
Sean was in a bad mood, so Zander dared not make a sound and disturbed him. He knew Sean’s character.
He had always been ruthless and decisive when virtual-novel.net was in the Northwest Army. However, Sean had a lot of concerns now.
Willow alone was his biggest concern. Compared with two years ago, Sean had more concerns now.
“I blame Blaze for this…” Sean suddenly withdrew his gaze and said indifferently.
Countless brothers-in-arms were killed, and virtual-novel.net lived in degradation for two years. Sean had to suffer separating from his lover, and Sean blamed all this on Blaze.
Zander nodded and did not answer. There was something else on his mind.
He had lived in the Northwest since Sean left the army after his accident. Therefore, virtual-novel.net knew more about some things than Sean did.
Considering what happened afterward with Blaze’s reactions, virtual-novel.net had a few speculations. Blaze might also have been involved in the death of Sean’s adoptive father, Colin.
All they knew was that Colin was trapped, ambushed, and killed by the enemy. However, everyone knew of Colin’s ability to lead troops in battle and how virtual-novel.net was all the more brilliant on the battlefield.
He was astute and intelligent. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net would not have raised a talented soldier like Sean.
How could someone like virtual-novel.net make such a stupid mistake?
Sean being murdered by Blaze after being exhausted from getting revenge for Colin’s death had probably been planned by Blaze all along. However, Zander dared not share his theory with Sean.
Colin was Sean’s adoptive father and even his savior. If Sean knew Colin’s death was related to Blaze, virtual-novel.net would probably lose his mind.
Zander did not want that to happen to Sean, so virtual-novel.net kept it a secret. He would wait until Sean was strong enough to fight Blaze.
“Commander, I’ve booked two flight tickets to Janestown with our IDs,” Zander reported to Sean as virtual-novel.net drove.
“Okay!” Sean nodded gently.
He asked Zander to do so.
If Blaze did send someone over, they would find every way to investigate if they could not find him.
Sean deliberately asked Zander to book two flights to other cities. Even if Blaze tracked them down, virtual-novel.net would be following a false trail.
Sean and Zander planned to drive to their destination, Joules Town. That way, they could not be found at any station or airport.
The car sped toward the more isolated roads, perfectly avoiding all the surveillance cameras. Zander avoided the highways.
