After the people from Homeland Security left with tails tucked firmly between their legs, Paul got bored and called Julian to drive over to pick them up.
Jessica looked at Paul with interest for a long while before saying with a smile, “Mr. Evans, I never expected you to have such a powerful identity…”
Paul shrugged his shoulders and said, “It’s just for fun. Nothing unusual.”
Jessica giggled and said, “Few people can move up to the position of brigadier while having fun.”
Not long after, Julian arrived, surprised to see the mess.
Paul didn’t bother to explain, taking the car key and driving away with Jessica and Hannah.
Before leaving, he said to Julian, “Go tell Viola to take a day off tomorrow. I’ll tell him when to practice.”
Julian nodded and watched the tail lights gradually disappear from his sight. After a while, he came back to his senses.
“Hey, what about me? What should I do? I don’t have a car here!” Julian yelled in despair.
Paul went out of the way to drive here, but Paul drove away without him.
Did he have to go back on foot?
At this moment, Julian was dismayed.
No wonder Viola always complains about this guy and says he’s an evil merchant…
Paul drove to Gloire Hotel and took out his membership card, asking for a presidential suite.
“I’ll ask the hotel to bring us some clothes. Take a bath and have some drinks to relax,” said Paul.
After he spoke, he went straight into the bathroom. Paul took off his clothes. There were bruises all over his body.
Not all the bruises were from the battle with Andrew. Some of them were from the attack of machetes when he used his ability to sustain the thrusts on his bare skin.
“There is no internal injury. It’s minor. I’ll recover within twenty-four hours…”
Paul stood naked under the shower and began to use Sanskrit to wash his tendons and marrow and stimulate his blood. The bruises on his body started to disappear at a visible speed. It didn’t take long for his skin to return to its normal state.
As soon as he put on his bathrobe and came out of the bathroom, Paul received a call from Wendy.
Wendy said, “Everyone says you killed Andrew from Dracodise in Rikkus…”
Paul said, “I didn’t kill him. I just tore off one of his arms, and he escaped in the end.”
Wendy asked, “Where are you? I heard that someone bombed your Almonube Palace!”
Paul smiled helplessly.
Bad news had Wings.
“I’m staying in a presidential suite at Gloire Hotel. What happened today was beyond the reach of ordinary people. It must have been done by a powerful force or organization, ” Paul said coldly.
Wendy breathed a sigh of relief and said, “I’m relieved that you’re fine. You must be tired today. Go to rest early. Take a good rest. You’re going to meet Natasha the day after tomorrow.”
Paul knew Natasha was disappointed that he didn’t die today. This must have something to do with Natasha. It was not that simple. However, he wondered which force arranged so many killers.
Right after hanging up on Wendy, Paul received another call from Thunder.
“Brigadier General Evans, I know what happened in Mimar City!” Thunder said in a deep voice.
“Mr. West, do you? When Jessica and I were hunted down by the whole city, no one stood up to help me.” Paul said with a sneer.
Thunder said, “You allied with the Giradia Group and offended so many powerful people, who want you to die. They worked together, and no one can resist them.”
Paul fell silent. Sure enough, people like Natasha were behind all this. They wanted to kill Jessica and Paul with the strength of the force. Even if Paul didn’t die, he couldn’t afford the consequences if Jessica died.
Thinking of this, Paul was annoyed. These people were unscrupulous and lawless.
Paul said, “Mr. West, do you know which force is trying to kill Jessica?”
Thunder said, “It’s okay to tell you. The government of Manskarta secretly spent a lot of money and hired an organization called Blood Skull to kill her.”
Paul had never heard of this organization. There were a lot of big shots in his prison, so he knew a lot about the underground world, but he had never heard of Blood Skull.
“Blood Skull was founded by Henry Parker, who used to be a senior member of Homeland Security and defected from our country back then. They can do anything as long as they’re given money,” Thunder said sullenly.
Paul narrowed his eyes. Paul had long heard of Henry and even talked about him with Angelina today.
Angelina asked him for help, but he didn’t want to do that. But Henry had the nerve to offend him. Paul had gone too far.
“Is Henry in Hechland?” Paul asked, “Give me his address. I’ll kill him.”
“Henry’s identity is too sensitive, and he doesn’t show up easily. Even if he is in Hechland, he must have changed his name, so we can’t find him.” Thunder sighed.
“He’s a chronic problem. Many of our secret service personnel abroad were killed after he betrayed our country. We’ve suffered heavy losses…”
Paul felt disappointed.
Thunder said, “I’ll assign you a second mission. You are going to protect Gerard Hopp, the mayor of Mimar City.”
Paul didn’t hesitate this time and said with a smile, “Okay, I’ll take it…”
Paul wouldn’t agree so readily in the past. But now, his own villa had been blown up by Blood Skull, and he was fuming. Paul couldn’t sleep if he didn’t kill the bastards.
“But your most important job is to protect Jessica,” Thunder said in a deep voice and added.
“Tomorrow morning, I will send a plane from the War Department and escort her back to Manskarta,” Paul sounded serious.
Paul was silent for a moment before saying, “Mr. West, you won’t trade other people’s lives for benefits, will you?”
Thunder was also silent.
After a long time, he sighed and said, “You can trust me…”
“Okay,” Paul agreed.
Jessica’s identity was too sensitive. Even Hechland might not take the side of the Carter family. Someone tried to take the chance to intervene in Manskarta’s affairs. Holding Jessica hostage was a bargaining chip for them to meddle with the affairs of Manskarta.
“Henry may not have come to Hechland in person this time, but his subordinates should not be underestimated. According to the information I have, his… Also, according to the information I have, Henry’s current martial arts level is somewhat terrifying…”
Paul couldn’t help asking, “How terrifying is it?”
Thunder said solemnly. “At least he is above Elixir Field Force. Paul might have broken through the limit of human beings.”
Paul instantly got interested.
So this Henry is a strong fighter…
Paul wished Henry would come to kill Gerard.
