Adopted Soldier

Chapter 204 - Saintess Anita



Lyner who has been in the Southern Union for two days had tried to find information about Anita. Yet no matter where he looked or who he asked no one could give a definitive answer. It would seem that Anita has been moving around from one place to the next.

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.
