Chapter 222: Chapter 222

"Stop joking around."

Steven Everett’s face returned to seriousness, looking solemn and commanding, inspiring awe without anger.

"Take these drug dealers to the station, we must extract the location of their deals from them."

The other strong men also returned to seriousness, handcuffing the drug dealers one by one.

Steven Everett nodded, then strode directly towards that black car, checked it over, confirmed it could still run, and got in without hesitation.

The others were stunned, "Captain, you’re not coming with us?"

"No, I’m not," Steven Everett’s stern and authoritative face softened with a trace of gentleness, "I’m rushing home to see my sister, I’ll leave the rest to you."

Was their tough captain really capable of such tenderness?!

The other team members were dumbfounded, eyes wide in disbelief, then couldn’t help but speak in unison.

"Captain, we’ve heard you talk about the sister you found for so long, we’re really curious, take us to meet her too!"

"Yeah, yeah, Captain, your sister is like a sister to all of us; we’d definitely treat her well!"

"Get lost!" Steven Everett gave them a dismissive glance, "You bunch of rough men, don’t scare my sister!"

Although he hasn’t met his sister yet, he firmly believed she must be a sweet and adorable little darling!

If these disheveled men scare his gentle and fragile sister, what should he do?

Being so blatantly rejected by Steven Everett, the other team members smiled helplessly, knowing how much Steven cherished his sister even before meeting her, they responded with a laugh.

"Fine, fine, Captain, we won’t go; isn’t it enough? We haven’t even seen her, and you’re already so doting. When you meet her, you’ll spoil her to heaven!"

"Spoiling her to heaven is only right."

Steven Everett’s handsome face broke into a smile, speaking with righteous confidence.

"She’s my only sister, who else would I spoil if not her?"

Ever since he got the news of his sister being found, he’s been eager to return to Imperia, but duty kept him from coming back.

Now that the mission was complete, he rushed towards Imperia immediately, but unexpectedly encountered a drug trafficking case on the way, helping the police arrest the group of traffickers.

This caused another day’s delay, otherwise he would have been back in Imperia yesterday.

But soon, he’d be able to meet his sweet and adorable sister!

With that thought, the smile on Steven Everett’s face deepened, though it tugged at the wound on his face, making him wince in pain.

He intended to treat the wound, but ended up reaching for a small porcelain bottle.

This was given to him by a little girl before she left...

Steven Everett opened the bottle, releasing a fragrant medicinal smell, he poured some ointment onto his hand, and instinctively applied it to the wound.

He hadn’t expected much, but was surprised that once the ointment was applied, the pain vanished instantly, leaving a cooling sensation that was rather comforting.

Shocked, Steven Everett immediately tossed the small porcelain bottle to the others, "Apply this ointment to your wounds too!"

They naturally complied with Steven Everett’s words, though without much emotion, apparently thinking it was just ordinary medicine for external injuries.

However, after applying the ointment, their faces lit up with astonishment, speaking excitedly.

"Captain, where did you get this ointment? As soon as you apply it, the pain is gone!"

"This is amazing, Captain, this ointment is far more effective than those painkillers!"

A serious look appeared in Steven Everett’s eyes, "It was given to me by the girl before she left."

Upon hearing this, they became even more animated.

"That girl was incredible, driving skills so good, bold and beautiful, and even her medicine works wonders!"

"Yeah, yeah, Captain, when you find her again, make sure to ask for a few more bottles, ideally find out if it’s for sale; if it is, we’ll secure it next time!"

Every mission ends with injuries, having this medicine could spare them a lot of suffering!

They made a good point... Read full story at novęlfire.net

Steven Everett’s determination to find her deepened, and he nodded solemnly, "Don’t worry, I will find that girl."

He not only needed to repay her for saving him, but also intended to strike a deal!

"Alright, let’s not waste time, I’m leaving, gotta rush back to see my sister!"

With those words, Steven Everett wasted no more time, jumped into his car, hit the gas, and the damaged vehicle sped away.

Niall Everett and Ian Everett were already waiting at the designated spot but hadn’t seen Steven Everett’s arrival, growing worried.

"Why hasn’t Second Brother come yet, could something have happened?"

Steven Everett’s job is unique, every mission is top-secret, even from the family.

He always returns with injuries, causing great concern.

The car halted steadily before Niall Everett and Ian Everett, Steven Everett stepped out, expecting a warm embrace from his younger brothers.

But Niall Everett and Ian Everett both backed away in unison.

"Second Brother, did you... go begging?"

Ian Everett and Niall Everett stared in shock at Steven Everett, who was dressed in rags and had a face full of injuries.

If it wasn’t for recognizing Steven Everett, they’d have thought he was some homeless person!

"Handled something on the way back," Steven Everett spoke nonchalantly, "Where’s Big Brother?"

Mentioning Elliot Everett made both Niall Everett and Ian Everett roll their eyes.

Leaving them to pick up Second Brother while he hogs Serena for himself, such shamelessness!

Steven Everett couldn’t help but click his tongue, carrying a hint of roguishness.

With a precious sister, he didn’t even come to pick him up! Big Brother’s favoritism couldn’t be more blatant!

"Let’s go, head back!"

Steven Everett was already eager to see his sister, couldn’t be bothered to fuss over Elliot Everett not picking him up.

Besides, he needed Elliot Everett’s help later anyway.

Seated in the spacious car provided by the Everett Family, Steven Everett finally felt at ease.

"Second Brother, where were you this time on your mission?"

"You’ve got a lot of injuries; was the task dangerous, Steven?"

Faced with their probing, Steven Everett usually didn’t bother responding to Ian and Niall Everett, but today, unable to contain his curiosity about his sister, he casually brushed off their questions.

"Fourth, Fifth, is Serena really adorable and well-behaved?"

Niall Everett and Ian Everett responded in unison.

"Serena is surely the most adorable and well-behaved girl in the world!"
