Although Lucas has confirmed that he has escaped from the surveillance network of the guys who are said to be there to protect him, it does not mean that he can rest his mind and take a good rest.

After all, if you don't really solve that potential threat, you won't be able to sit on the life of peace at all.

What's more, for himself, it is not only the question of "who made Jonathan disappear", but also the series of questions that Lucas has to think about now that Lucas has to think about "why did he not let himself and Jonathan return to the team immediately after he returned to China", "why did he neither strengthen protection nor investigate the truth after Jonathan and his confidant disappeared".

So no matter how lascivious the Evans family prepared for themselves, and no matter how enthusiastic the friends he had inadvertently helped were, Lucas always had this feeling of worry and swelling in his heart.

"Lucas, what kind of trouble have you caused this time? I remember that your mercenary group is not small, and under normal circumstances, no one will provoke you casually!"

At the dinner table, Evans Sr. prayed with his wife and children, and after the dessert was served, he began to ask Lucas about his current situation.

"Of course, if it's inconvenient to say it, don't say it. If you can call me, it means that you can still trust me as a friend. Say, what do you need me to do?"

Without waiting for Lucas to organize the language, old Evans, who had already felt Lucas's hesitation and danger, was very discerning and did not force Lucas to say what he encountered. Instead, he looked at his old friend very sincerely.

When Lucas heard the words of old Evans, his heart was inexplicably moved.

Although the elder Lucas said that he could not say it if it was inconvenient, he still needed help from the other party after all. In the case of needing the other party's help, it is obviously a bit too much to always trust the other party and tell the truth.

One can't get it right, but it's easy to be self-defeating and ruin feelings. If this is the case, I am afraid that I will not be as enthusiastic as I am today when I need help.

"Actually, there's nothing you can't say. ”

Lucas smiled and gently lowered his knife and fork. And the old Evans and little Evans, who were full of thought that Lucas would not explain to themselves, suddenly became solemn when they heard what Lucas said.

"Hannah, take the little ones to get the soda they want to drink the most, and William and I will accompany Lucas. ”

Old Evans stretched out his hand to stop Lucas's next words, leaned over to his wife, who was busy distributing food to the younger children, who had happily left with their mother, and only then did they give Lucas a remarkable look.

"You know, I've been expelled from the army to be a mercenary for six or seven years, but in fact, the original case is not real. ”

As Lucas spoke, Evans suddenly nodded in understanding, and at the same time tried to comfort his old friend and express his trust.

"I believe in your character. ”

Evans Sr. said.

Lucas waved his hand to signal that what he was about to say was related to this, and he couldn't help but continue to talk slowly.

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I didn't suffer any grievances in this matter. In fact, there will be such a thing that I and the leaders have designed just to get rid of my military identity and carry out a new mission. ”

Old Evans was silent and did not speak, but the eyes of the enlisted message already revealed his surprise at the incident.

“...... And this task is to join the mercenary group and deal with things that are inconvenient for some countries to do with great fanfare. ”

The lights in the restaurant were bright, but I don't know why after hearing Lucas's words again, I was used to seeing the darkness of the underground world, and even experienced it. Old Evans, who lived in the underworld, suddenly felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.

Deal with things that are inconvenient for names in some countries......

Although old Evans knew that he should be glad that his friend was not really ostracized, he always had a chill when he thought of the ** appeal that his friend had done all these years in the past few years, and heard some rumors.

"And my latest mission was the riot in the capital of China that was on the international news a few days ago. ”

Lucas said this, his eyes staring solemnly at the two friends in front of him whose facial expressions were finally beginning to crack. But there was no surprise in my heart.

Shocked and even incredible, that's normal. After all, the task I did not long ago was a real big deal.

A mission that caused the entire mercenary team to be killed and wounded, and then only came back to himself and Jonathan, who did not know whether he was alive or dead.

"Wait, what are you talking about?

After hearing such news, little Evans was clearly not as calm as his father, so he blurted out an exclamation.

"Not exactly, William. ”

Lucas called the young man's name with a smile, and then seriously explained to the other party that the other party had misunderstood.

"We were just involved in that thing, and in fact, there were a lot of national teams that were involved in that upheaval. As far as I know, all of us are acting just to cover up the whole thing, an important task for that organization. ”

"What is the specific task?"

Little Evans' eyes sparkled in the light, and the word curiosity was written on it. And as the boy's father, old Evans couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart after seeing his son's reaction and actions.

"I'm sorry, this is beyond my purview, I really don't know. In short, the level of secrecy is very high, and it is a very important task. ”

Lucas said this, the expression on his face was inexplicably a little stunned.

"To be honest, I'd like to know the answer. I don't think if I knew the answer, I wouldn't be so passive now. ”

Lucas said bitterly, and the old Evans looked solemn, looking at his old friend who had begun to become strangers, and always felt that things were not so simple.

"Anyway, after the riot in the capital, the only ones who came back alive were me and another companion named Jonathan. ”

Hearing Lucas finally say something important and crucial, Evans sat down slightly.

From the garden outside the window came the cheerful cries of the children and the occasional reprimand of Hannah. This made old Evans suddenly feel a pang of irritability.

The riot in the capital of China not long ago...... That's no small fight!

If Lucas really has a relationship with that thing, I'm afraid that what he can do is very little. Maybe he will be dragged into the water by the other party, and he and his family will be completely away from the peaceful life they have now.

What's more, if it is a general matter, you will help if you intervene to help, but when it comes to the behemoth of Huaxia...... Where can such an opponent be right?

Old Evans looked at his son, who had listened to the story with all his heart, and with a look of amazement in his eyes, completely attracted by Lucas's description, and his uneasy premonition intensified.

I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for Lucas to find him at this time......

“...... For some unknown reason, Jonah and I have been staying in the hotel and receiving the protection of the military. And they told me and Jonathan: the mercenary is gone, and our mission is over. Then we can quietly return to the army, with a secret file and the rank of merit we deserve. ”

"And then?"

Listening to little Evans's inquiry, if he smiled at his old friend my friend's son, he shook his head slowly.

Then, Jonathan disappeared. ”

When old Evans heard this, he instantly tensed his nerves.

"There was no warning, and there was no search for the disappearance. ”

"Although they told me to be careful and to be safe, I found that this so-called protection was only limiting my range of activities. ”

Lucas pursed his lips disdainfully, looking very dismissive of the group of experts' performance plans.

"And what I find most unbearable is that the disappearance of the little boy is like throwing stones into a calm lake, and after a short wave, everything becomes no different from before. ”

"Nobody cares where Jonathan is missing, no one cares if Jonathan is still alive, and no one cares why he doesn't look for Jonathan, who is missing. ”

"Except for me. ”

There was a brief silence in the dining room. Neither Lucas, Evans Sr., nor Evans Jr. spoke immediately.

Instead, they digest what they have just heard, and on the other hand, they wait for their audience to understand what they are trying to say.

"I think you must have a good relationship with Jonathan. ”

After a little more reflection on what he had just heard, little Evans broke the silence in the room.
