Chapter: 1072
She walked up to her two confidants and asked casually, "Do you have any information on the person I was looking for?"
The two major generals were named Georgia and Bridget, respectively.
"We’ve searched the entire Millsburg for someone with the same name, but none of them was the person you wanted. We suspect that the person isn’t here," Georgia said with her head bowed.
"That’s impossible!" Scarlet said.
"Adam would never have the guts to lie to me. He must be here but under a different name. Keep searching!"
"Yes, ma’am!" Georgia answered and quickly left with her men.
"I plan to stay here for an extended period. Get me a place to stay," Scarlet ordered.
"I’ve already arranged for that, General! It’s at Fallonge estate," Bridget reported.
"Lead the way!" Scarlet wasted no time on small talk.
"Yes, ma’am!" Bridget nodded and drove off with Scarlet, leaving the rest of the troops in their dust.
"Who exactly is the Goddess of War here for, General Winslow? She seems so anxious to find that person." Dylan could no longer hold in his curiosity when he saw the car leave.
"How would I know?" General Winslow rolled his eyes.
"Who dares meddle in her personal affairs?"
"You’ve got a point there." Dylan chuckled awkwardly. Scarlet was an intimidating figure in the army, so nobody dared speak freely about her.
"I’m not sure who she’s after, but I’m certain that it’s a man," General Winslow said thoughtfully.
"A man?" Dylan’s eyes widened.
"No way! What kind of man can make the Goddess of War place such importance on him?"
Scarlet was such a skilled martial artist, second to none, and was an amazing woman who trumped every woman in Dragonmarsh. If word were to get out that she had traveled such a distance to Millsburg just for a man, it would create a significant commotion among the public! At the thought of that, Dylan could not help but feel slightly jealous. Scarlet was a gorgeous fighter who was beyond everyone’s reach. To be able to get Scarlet’s attention was something worth boasting about. Dylan wondered who the lucky bastard who caught her eye was.
Over in the moving car, Scarlet carefully pulled out a well-kept photograph. In it were a teenage boy and girl, at the peak of their youth. The young girl leaned on the boy’s shoulder, a hint of a smile replacing her usual aloof expression. Looking at the pair of youths in the photo, a look of melancholy came over Scarlet, as though she was reminiscing about the past.
After gazing at the photograph for a moment, she pressed it to her chest and sighed.
"Where are you, Logan? I’ve been searching for you for the past 10 years."
"Achoo!" Dustin, who had finally wormed his way out of his predicament with Dahlia, began sneezing the moment he got back to the Flame Dragon Dojo. He wondered if someone was bad- mouthing him behind his back.
"Sir!" Right then, someone called out to him. Dustin looked up to see Abigail standing up from her seat, waving excitedly at him. It looked like she had been waiting for quite a while.
"My apologies, I was caught up with something else earlier on, that’s why I’m late." Dustin walked up to her with a smile on his face.
"That’s alright, I just got here too." Abigail wasn’t bothered by it.
