Chapter 438: Chapter 438

Anna knew the mercenaries had anesthetics, and their medical supplies were more complete than Bem’s side.

Because Licia had used it on her!

However, before she could figure out a way to contact them, they actually came looking for her voluntarily.

"Excuse me, are you Sister Anna?"

Anna looked at the girl in front of her, puzzled: "Should we know each other?"

"Sister Anna, you might not have met me, but I’ve often heard the master mention you. My name is Irene."

"Oh? The master? What did she say?"

"The master said that the three of us sisters who came later were just your stand-ins in front of the boss."

Saying it so bluntly is indeed her master’s style.

Anna could confirm that this Asian-looking girl in front of her was indeed her junior sister whom she had never met.

"By the way, sister, I’m here to deliver anesthetics to you."

Irene handed the medical kit she was carrying to Anna, who looked at her with caution.

"Sister, you don’t have to worry. The anesthetics and medical supplies I brought are because we thought you might need them. Absolutely no problem. Moreover, didn’t the master injure many of your people today? I’m here to apologize on her behalf, hoping you can speak well of us to President Sterling after accepting the gift."

"Yes, sister, didn’t you know? Shortly after you left Besland City, the mercenary base was attacked a second time."

"Do you think it was Conrad’s men?"

"Who else could it be? Your President Sterling really doesn’t let anything go unanswered, he won’t take a single loss. So I came as a representative to deliver medical supplies hoping you could plead for us with President Sterling, to negotiate a truce! The master didn’t intentionally want to make things difficult for you; blame that pervert!" Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on Nove1Fire.net

Even Irene and the others referred to Smith as such in private, showing how deeply that perverted image was ingrained in their minds.

Anna snorted coldly: "It’s not us who’s so vindictive! I was just shooting an ad and got kidnapped, what did I ever do to anyone?"

"That’s why it’s all Smith’s fault, you don’t know how much more excessive he’s become! Sister, I’m warning you..."

Irene moved closer to Anna and whispered: "Since you left, the boss has developed a habit of collecting women who look like you, but he’s dissatisfied with all of us. So you know... he might still trouble you in the future."

Up close, this girl with a tan complexion didn’t actually resemble Anna at all.

But her expression revealed a ’boss not liking us is his own bad taste,’ this narcissistic energy was somewhat similar to Anna’s.

"I understand, thank you for the reminder!"

Anna accepted the medical supplies offered as a gesture of goodwill: "By the way, how’s the master doing?"

"The master only wounded people and didn’t kill anyone today, didn’t take out President Sterling’s men, afraid they’d hold it against your natal family later. But she said that you ’ungrateful disciple’ shooting at her from behind broke her heart. Although she also shot your man once on the spot, the master still decided to be mad at you for a month."

"When she’s over it, she’ll come to claim the fried chicken with you."

Anna went abroad back then because she had no home.

Later, she met Mary and Dragon Mama, who both were willing to take her in and give her a place to belong.

Anna never mentioned her time with the mercenaries learning marksmanship, attracting someone like Smith; she had to learn more survival skills for self-protection, after all.

Dragon Mama was very respected among the mercenaries, having taken this path since her youth and becoming a legend.

People called her ’Dragon Mama’, not only out of admiration for her almost magical marksmanship but also because of the fearsome stories of her ruthlessness when she was young.

But those who truly knew Dragon Mama, like Anna, understood that privately, the master was just a beauty-loving foodie who adored chicken legs!

That’s right! Just a beauty lover!

She took Anna as a disciple back then because she thought she looked good!

She took one once and now couldn’t stop.

Even when Anna shot at her from behind, she only stayed angry for a month.

This was the tacit understanding between them as master and disciple!

Dragon Mama didn’t intentionally want to make things difficult for Anna and Conrad, but she was currently under Smith’s command, unable to disobey.

Her bullets hit Conrad’s men with great precision, severely injuring them but not fatally.

Just like when she was later hit by Anna’s bullet!

Their fake acting skills were in the same tradition, in order to have an explanation for the mercenaries to go back.

After all, with a pervert waiting to inspect, their act had to be convincing to fool him.

Including the last shot Dragon Mama fired at Anna, it was real, but Conrad shielded her.

Back at home, Anna handed the anesthetics to the doctor, Conrad seemed a bit displeased.

The man’s eyes burned into hers, and suddenly Anna felt her cheeks flush.

She went out for some fresh air and called Mary to assure her safety.

The news of Anna’s disappearance was kept from others, Mary was the most worried.

During the video call with Anna, hearing her say personally that she was fine, Mary’s worry finally subsided.

"Anna, was it President Sterling who saved you?"

"I thought the big boss abroad would find you first, President Sterling is really something."

Mary’s words hit Anna right in the heart.

People are always compared to others, although Anna isn’t easily moved.

Yet this kind of heroic rescue once or twice is fine, but three, four times...? Each time more thrilling than the last!

Conrad had once again gotten injured for Anna, who could withstand that?

Who doesn’t have a bit of a romantic side?

"Mary, I discovered something."

"That actually, Conrad and I are quite compatible!"

Mary thought, hearing Anna’s suddenly serious tone, that she was going to say something else.

"Anna, you know you’re not nearsighted, so how come you’re just realizing you and President Sterling are meant to be?"

"Compatibility doesn’t rely on appearance, it’s just that..."

Just through a few perilous encounters, Anna found out she and Conrad were quite in sync.

There was no intellectual gap between them, keeping up with each other’s thoughts.

Anna didn’t expect Conrad, always surrounded by admirers, exuding charisma in the business world.

Could still maintain his composure in a blood-and-guts battlefield.

Such men were scarce now, and... damn attractive!

Unfortunately, there was one point, as Irene said, ’holding grudges.’

Which decided that though they were compatible, they could not be together.

After all, they both had a vengeful nature!
