Chapter 408
Perhaps his gaze was so hot that she sensed it.
She slowly turned around and saw a familiar figure in the blur. Her eyelashes trembled and tears rolled
down. She saw the man clearly.
He wore a faded military uniform, which was not a domestic style.
Arya was too excited to breathe... She forced herself to calm down, staring at him. "Is that you?"
He was tall and straight, with a deep facial outline. He looked at her deeply, and said with a low voice,
"It's me."
She rushed over to him, with her arms wrapped around him. "Where have you been for the past few
months?"
He lowered his eyes and covered her cheeks with his hand. His palm was hot, broad, and rough. His
touch would hurt a little, making her hard to breathe. "Arya, I miss you so much." He gradually calmed
down and his voice became lower.
"Am I dreaming? Am I hallucinating again?" She was too excited to calm down and still felt that it was a
dream to see him standing in front of her.
Was he safe and sound?
"It's me." The sound was like waves, passing into her heart layer by layer.
She was so excited that she trembled. She leaned on his heart to listen to his heartbeat, and she
clutched his clothes. "Do you know how worried and scared I am..."
It was hard to fall asleep at night without him.
"Why are you back so late? Where have you been?" Arya looked up at him.
Xavier's eyes narrowed slightly with a deep look.
He remembered that on their way back from M City after attending Cullen's funeral, the plane crashed.
There were only two parachutes, so one was given to Arya and the other was given to Jacob. And
when the plane was about to hit the mountain, he chose to jump out of the plane as there was a lake
below.
He lost his unconsciousness when he jumped into the water. When he woke up, he found that he was
in a jeep, tied up, and couldn't move at all. He raised his eyes slightly to see where he was.
Suddenly, a cold gun was pointed at his head. "Major, he's awake."
Pointing at Xavier, the soldier said to the middle-aged man in the military form who sat in the passenger
seat.
"Watch carefully, the General wants him alive." The Major ordered in a low voice.
The soldier nodded, put away his gun, and said to Xavier in English, "Don't move. We won't hurt you."
Xavier was silent because he knew very well that the current situation was out of his control. He
needed to know what had happened to him. They just called the man Major?
What Major?
Want me to be alive?
According to their costumes, Xavier had already guessed that they were the army of a country against
the government. No matter what happened, they would not hurt him until he knew what was going on,
but now he needed to know where he was taken.
After that, Xavier did not speak, and quietly watched their motorcade drive towards the woods deeper
and deeper.
It had been more than two hours on the way. Although the sun had not yet set, the light dimmed down
as it couldn't penetrate layers of branches.
The motorcade suddenly stopped. A group of soldiers came out of the grass and surrounded them. A
person in front of those soldiers made a gesture and they were allowed to go further.
The motorcade continued to move forward and passed a few sentries. It was not until the sunset and
the sky was drenched with rain that they saw a building area. It was all simple houses that looked like
ordinary villages, but all of them were armed. Fires were raging in the surroundings, illuminating the
entire base area and exuding a solemn aura of death.
The motorcade stopped in front of a three-story building. There were sentries and machine guns at the
door. The soldiers in the motorcade immediately got out of the car and quickly lined up. One of them
came to get out of the car with Xavier together, followed the Major to get into the building.
The guard at the door came up to check on the situation, saluted the Major, and then walked in.
"The general is waiting for you inside." The man called Major walked in alone.
Xavier, who was still tied up, was guarded by two soldiers. He could only stand there quietly and look
around. On the way here, he had already found that this was a highly hidden military base. It was not
rich, but every soldier was very dignified.
"Is this the person the general is looking for?"
The two soldiers who were guarding Xavier immediately saluted when they saw the person walking
over. "Yes, Captain."
The Captain was called Nata. She came here especially to see what kind of person this guy in front of
her was that made the General not to keep his promise and took great pains to get this person here.
His expression was dull and his facial features were sharp. His expressionless face looked gentle, but it
was difficult to get close to him.
Xavier glanced at her lightly and then looked away. When the soldiers next to him saw his actions, they
immediately pushed him and shouted, "How dare you? don't you dare to not say greetings to our
Captain?"
Even if Xavier understood, he ignored the soldier and remained silent.
The soldier's face darkened when he saw Xavier's arrogant look. Just as he was about to scold him,
Nata raised her hand, signaling the soldier to stop.
At this moment, the Major, who pressed Xavier in, came out of the room and salute Captain Nata. Then
the Major said to Xavier in English, "Mr. Jones, General asks you to come in."
He waved at the two soldiers and signaled them to release Xavier, letting him in by himself because the
General had instructed him to go in alone.
Xavier was untied. He rubbed his wrist and walked in fearlessly without saying anything.
Looking at him like this, the soldier could not help but snort coldly and said, "How dare a capture
pretend to be noble?"
Before he could finish speaking, the Major patted the back of his head and scolded, "He's a guest of
honor invited by the General. Can you take responsibility if anything happens?"
The soldier was a little surprised by this reminder. He did not understand the reason that the general
invited such a person who did not look like a soldier to come over.
"Major, he..."
"Do not try to pry into things that you shouldn't know." After training his men, the Major turned his eyes
to Nata and smiled, "Why did you come here, Captain?"
"What's the reason for the General to bring him here? " Nata asked instead of answering his question.
In fact, the Major knew very well that not only was Nata curious about this question but even the entire
army was curious about it as well. However, it was not good to say it in front of everyone for the time
being, so he pulled Nata aside and whispered mysteriously, "We're short of military resources. I heard
he's very rich... The General investigated him very well..."
Nata's expression paused. Although they were having a hard time, Nata didn't agree to bring a
businessman here.
At this moment, Xavier had already entered the room. He was calm and unhurried. The space of the
room was very large, with a huge conference table in the middle and a lot of military information
hanging on one wall. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
In front of the huge conference table, a man in a camouflage military uniform was sitting on a black
leather chair. He wore a pair of black military boots, with a gun hanging on his waist. A dangerous aura
was emanating from his body...
