Jason’s gaze lingered briefly on the two children, Kuituo and Luogen. Their coordination just now had left a deep impression on him. One drew attention, the other struck.
If he hadn’t known that the two had never been trained, Jason would have thought they were ustomed to working together.
"Not bad."
With those words, Jason looked towards Esther.
"Is he from the ’Sanctuary’?"
Jason asked bluntly.
"Yes."
"A ’Sanctuary’ Knight, a member of the ’Faceless Men’ Legion."
Esther nodded confidently.
"Legion?"
Jason frowned.
He had tried to overestimate the ’Sanctuary’ Knights, but it seemed he had still underestimated them by a lot.
After all, an armed force that could be referred to as a legion was surely based on a considerable number of members, and the strength disyed by the other party... had already surpassed the ordinary.
It wasn’t just about physical prowess; they also mastered at least two secret techniques, simr to the ’Sanctuary’ Knight he had killed before. But this one was stronger, at least, the one before couldn’t change his appearance to that of others.
"The number of members in the ’Faceless Men’ Legion has always been a mystery."
"Not only because they move in secrecy, but also because when they be ’Faceless Men’, they destroy their own faces, and with nearly perfect disguises, they are virtually impossible to identify."
"That is also why the ’Sanctuary’ is always feared by people."
Esther added from the side.
However, after hearing this, Jason’s eyebrows rxed.
He had an immature idea.
With that thought, Jason turned and walked away.
"Lord Jason?"
Esther called out subconsciously, intending to say more.
But Jason’s steps did not stop, and Kuituo followed decisively, while Luogen nced at Esther, then at Jason and Kuituo who had walked a distance away, hesitated for a moment, and then also took a step.
Soon, only Esther was left there.
The night wind blew gently.
Esther’s raised hand remained stiff in midair.
Hey, hey, am I being shunned by two kids?
Sure enough, sons are the worst.
Daughters are so much better.
Esther thought to himself at the bottom of his heart.
Then, he saw Jason pushing open the heavy door.
Creak, creak, creak.
As the barbell tes rubbed against the floor, they made a grating noise.
Esther’s expression changed instantly as he remembered something.
"Lord Jason, don’t close the door, wait for me!"
Esther rushed over immediately.
n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om
A 500 kg door, he couldn’t push open.
He didn’t want to stand outside in the wind either.
As for having Jason specially open the door for him?
He... didn’t dare.
Esther squeezed in through the gap in the door, licked his face, smiled at Jason, and was about to enter the fighting gym.
"Esther, the mobility team will be here soon, handle it."
Edmund looked at Esther who hade in and immediately said so.
At the same time, he gestured towards Kuituo and Luogen, indicating that he needed to look after the children.
"Okay, okay."
Esther, who had just stepped on the fighting gym floor, had to twist his body and walk out again.
Through the same door gap.
Jason had not closed it.
As he walked through the alley, the gap was still there.
This made Esther breathe a sigh of relief.
"Lord Jason is still verypassionate, he just doesn’t show it."
With that thought, Esther walked towards the mouth of the alley, and then, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.
"Was Senior Edmund deliberately avoiding handling these tedious matters?"
"No way."
"The righteousness of Senior Edmund wouldn’t allow him to do that."
"There must be some reason."
"I just haven’t thought of it yet."
Esther stood at the mouth of the alley with his eyebrows tightly furrowed.
A momentter, the mobility team arrived.
However, when he saw the person leading the team, Esther narrowed his eyes.
At the front of the team were two noticeably tall and sturdy men.
Both had short hair, one wore ck sunsses even at night, and the other was fully armed.
Ang City Mobility Team Captain: rk.
Ang City Mobility Team Deputy Captain: Lites.
Although the mobility team consisted of different squads, that was only for temporary operational groupings. The real captain and deputy captain were just these two.
Simrly, most of the time, the two of them would onlymand from headquarters.
But their presence...
Implied there was serious trouble.
"It’s because of the ’Sanctuary’."
"Has the ’Faceless Men’ Legion caused other destructions?"
As Esther thought this, his expression turned grave.
But unexpectedly, after rk and Lites passed by, they directly saluted Esther.
Esther was startled.
The captain of the Ang City Mobility Team was only half a rank lower than the head of Ang City’s ’Containment Facility’, and Lites was his equal, so there was no need for such gestures.
"Captain rk, Deputy Captain Lites?"
Esther looked at the two men in confusion.
"Thank you."
"Lites and I went to the homes of Valen, Kuike, Clive, Aidiven, Qiongsi, and Luodeni. We learned what you and Edmund did."
"I thank you on their behalf."
rk spoke in a firm and rigid manner.
Even the thanks sounded stiff.
Then, without waiting for Esther to respond, the captain continued, "I want to join the ’Brotherhood’."
Esther was taken aback once again.
Looking at the stern faces of the captain and deputy captain of the mobility team before him, he suddenly understood what Edmund meant by sending him out.
Edmund had a fairly good personal rtionship with the two men before him. Thus, some things couldn’t be exined directly to them. However, Esther was different – he could speak inly.
