Chapter 1146 - Myrth: 117

Chapter 1146

(Unedited)

…

How could she not be afraid? When she knew that she would be forcefully drafted into the army regardless of her family's background and protest. It has happened many times and even with the influence of that person's family, she was still drafted into the military. It is the law, and everyone is expected to follow it.

War is coming, so no one dares to throw their weights around. If they do, then the kingdom's military would have the opportunity to bring them down. So no matter what no one dares violate this law.

And so Xin Ja and Yao Mai Lin have no choice but to be drafted into the military as 'volunteers'.

As the town guards march away from the alleyway while taking the two students with them, a few students peek out from a window and watch the group walks away.

The burning gaze in the eyes of one of those students watching the group is fiery and blazing with anger.

Wing Cao Jun planned everything today and has been preparing for such a long time to get his hands on Senior Yao. She always brushes him aside and avoids him for a long time now. He could not take it anymore and decided to do something about it. In fact, one could say that he is far too obsessed with her that he would always dream about her at night.

He could not sleep just thinking about her and would always have her in his erotic fantasies.

Wing Cao Jun has set his eyes on Yao Mai Lin ever since he saw her in the academy. In those years he had done everything he can just to attract her attention but to no avail. He was very patient, kind, and friendly which differs from his actual self.

His real self is something else.

In the Wing family, he has done things in secret that even their servants did not know his real nature. So no one really knows who he is and what he is capable of.

In his younger years, he was seen by his father killing an animal. It might have frightened his father that he began teaching Wing Cao Jun about controlling his desires. And from that time forth, he began to hide his dark side.

But this is something that he could not hide forever. Every now and then it would appear and he would indulge himself on it. And by doing so made him felt happy and engrossed in such acts. It is something that he could not let go of.

And so, Wing Cao Jun began living two lives.

Once every quarter, he would go out and do something vicious and atrocious. Rape and murder would always satisfy his lust and craving for blood. And from the time he started, he could not stop already. And one of his tricks is what he used today in the banquet for the War Games team of Ogden Academy.

He put some of the drugs he usually uses in Senior Yao's drinks and he feels elated upon seeing her drink it. He knew of its effect and waited for it to happen.

But who would have known that the warning gong would sound in the town and this has caused him to lose his chance to get his hands on Senior Yao?

He did not want Yao Mai Lin to be just a victim of his obsession. He wanted her to be his. He wanted to claim her for his own.

But everything was for naught because of that little guy named Xin Ja. He saw it with his own eyes. Xin Ja is helping Yao Mai Lin as the two left with the town's guards.

"That bitch! Why would she choose that puny boy instead of me? With regards to family background and wealth, I Wing Cao Jun is clearly superior. That brat only has a father that works as a town council. He is nothing compared to me!" Wing Cao Jun shouted in his mind.

He truly wanted to run out and stop them, but he is also afraid.

War Game battle is only games and their lives would not be in danger if they are careful. But war is different.

The idea of going to war alone already made his body shiver in fear. How could he not be afraid? He has seen bloodshed and he has seen how his victims cry for their lives. If he is in their shoes, he would also feel the same way.

And because of that, he fears war more than anything. The idea of losing his life in someone else's sword made his knee soft.

And he watches the figures of Xin Ja and Yao Mai Lin and the rest of the town's guard disappear from the corner, he slowly retracted his gaze.

"Damn it! Will Senior Yao be really drafted in the army?" one of the students blurted out.

"Well, she was caught by the guards…"

"Why was she outside? We were having a party in here and yet she went out. Plus she seems a bit weak… What happened?"

"Wait a minute… did you not see the other student? That was the freshman who came with our group, right? The medical apprentice who cures us really well and really fast…"

"Don't tell me… He is the one responsible for making Senior Yao weak?"

"What? That was too despicable. How could he do that? Senior Yao took care of him too well…"

"Who knows… People have dark secrets you know. Maybe he is just hiding his true self and then grabs this chance to take advantage of Senior Yao…"

"No… That is impossible…" someone rejected the idea.

Suddenly, a strange glint appears in Wing Cao Jun's eyes. He suddenly had an idea of what to do. He did not know what happened outside, but one thing is for sure. He has to get Senior Yao back and make use of this chance to put a wedge on the two's relationship.

"He might be showing weakness in front of our eyes… but maybe the truth is something else… You've seen what he could do in the War Games…" Wing Cao Jun suddenly said while casually walking away from the window and taking a seat.

They would have to wait in hits place for a while before they could go home.

But his words seem to make many of the students inside that room realize something. And as they look at each other, there seem to be a tacit understanding among them.

…

Meanwhile, Xin Ja and Yao Mai Lin were sent to a detention room in the town.

Their names, family registration, and background were checked thoroughly. After that, they were sent to a room where there are others inside.

Xin Ja requested to be with Yao Mai Lin as he still needed to help her recover her vitality.

The town's guards look at each other and decide to let him treat the young woman. At this point in time, they have no time to look for a physician outside. And no physician dare go out of their house or clinic at this time. So the guards are hopeless in this situation.

"How are you, senior?" Xin Ja asked as he noticed Yao Mai Lin opening her eyes.

"Ugh… I… I'm fine. Where… where are we?" She asked upon looking at the unfamiliar room.

"We are in a detention center of the town…"

Upon hearing that, a helpless sigh escaped her mouth.

"I'm sorry… I have implicated you…" she said with a sad expression.

Yao Mai Lin knew that if Xin Ja did not help her to recover, then he would have already gone home. But instead, he helped her in that alley to recover… hence he was implicated and was drafted as a volunteer instead.

While looking at the young face of Xin Ja, Yao Mai Lin could not help but heave another deep sigh.

"Senior you don't have to be sorry… I can take care of myself…" Xin Ja said with confidence.

"Have you recovered now?" he added as he brushes the matter off.

Yao Mai Lin nodded her head as she could already feel her strength returning. She did not know what Xin Ja did but, she could already feel that she has recovered and is now fine.

Before the two could talk further, someone barges inside the room.

"You little fellow… follow me." the guard said with a strict tone.

"Wait! Don't take him away… He is just…" Yao Mai Lin wanted to stop the guard but she could not as pressure was exerted upon her.

"Do not interfere. The two of you are now in the military. No matter what happens to you now, remember that you two are forced, volunteers… We have already informed your families…" the guard said as he grabs Xin Ja's arm and drags him outside.

Xin Ja felt helpless as the guard has the strength of a 5th level, so how could he fight back when he could not even struggle from his grasp.

Yao Mai Lin could not say anything and just watch as Xin Ja was dragged out of the room. She could only shed a tear for the young lad who helped her out of his own accord.

"Be safe…" she muttered as she closed her eyes.
