Chapter 1115: Chapter 1087: Reunion with an Old Friend (Double Monthly Tickets – Hurry and Vote!) “Beautiful Lady, slow down! Don’t run too far!” Edward Wheeler called out, and the Beautiful Lady immediately stood still, waiting for him.

Edward Wheeler ran over and rubbed its head, “Are you excited to be back in the Woodland?”

The reply he got was a bark from the Beautiful Lady, which seemed to be quite happy.

Before its retirement, it had always followed the instructor on missions at the border, with the Woodland being the place it frequented the most. Being able to visit such a place again made it exceptionally joyful.

Edward Wheeler ran with it for a while until suddenly he stopped in front of a certain tree, and the Beautiful Lady adopted a defensive posture.

Edward Wheeler made a quiet hand signal, instructing the Beautiful Lady to step back. He then took out the multi-tool from his waist, bent down, and dug a few times in the ground, disabling a trap that had been buried there.

If he hadn’t discovered it and they had stepped on it, his Beautiful Lady would have been caught in the trap.

These hunting traps are not uncommon, but what made Edward Wheeler feel a sense of deja vu was their arrangement. Why did it seem so familiar?

While he was pondering, suddenly the Beautiful Lady started barking furiously. Edward Wheeler dodged to the side as a dark figure charged straight at him. The Beautiful Lady, unlike its usual timid behavior at home, bared its teeth, ready to attack. Edward Wheeler focused and saw that the assailant was a person, a tall and hefty man.

This man was bulky, even more so than Edward Wheeler, with a scarf masking his face. He aimed a kick directly at Edward Wheeler on approach.

“Beautiful Lady, stay back and sit on the side. Don’t move!” Edward Wheeler stopped the Beautiful Lady from clashing with the stranger.

The stranger was more robust than Edward Wheeler, but Edward Wheeler’s movements were agile, and it was a struggle to determine a winner between them.

After a few moves, Edward Wheeler spotted a flaw in the man’s defense and aimed for his weakness but hesitated and stopped upon touching the man’s skin.

“Are we still playing? Roughhousing like this is a bit too much for old friends meeting again.”

At that, the stranger laughed heartily, pulled down his mask, and playfully punched Edward Wheeler’s shoulder without much force.

“Good lad, I truly didn’t expect to see you again!”

Seeing the familiar face of an old friend, Edward Wheeler also smiled. The two men bumped fists, clearly excited.

“I was talking to my daughter-in-law about you today. I never imagined I’d actually see you! Baron, after so many years, why would you show up here, in our place?”

When he first saw the trap, Edward Wheeler felt it looked familiar. That technique was unmistakably Baron’s!

The two men had developed a mutual respect during training outside, but as they stood on different grounds, they lost contact after leaving the camp, never expecting to meet again. The unexpected reunion in such a place unavoidably left Edward Wheeler ecstatic.

“I retired. Spent the first few years running around with people to make money. These last two years, I’ve been looking for stability, so I got hired by the Big Boss and became his bodyguard. See, the boss is vacationing here, and I came along. I’ve got to say, your nation is really nice, with good living standards and friendly locals. I seriously want to stay here forever. I wanted to set a trap in these woods to catch some wild rabbits to satisfy a craving, but instead of rabbits, I caught you, haha!”

Baron was excited to see Edward Wheeler as well, having thought he would never see his old friend again. The surprise was truly delightful.

“Boss?”

“Yeah, Boss Li Brown, his house is right over there! He started out with logging years ago and later switched to pharmaceuticals. It’s one of the top enterprises in your Domestic Region.” Baron didn’t speak Chinese; he and Edward Wheeler communicated entirely in E-language. Edward Wheeler followed Baron’s pointing hand and looked over.

Ironically, the Boss Li Brown that Kiara visited was the same family.

“One, it’s been so many years since we’ve seen each other, what are you doing now, and how did you suddenly appear here?” Baron especially missed the days when he trained with Mario Yuno.

One had conquered the place with his outstanding performance and had earned a lot of respect, and Baron particularly, particularly liked Mario Yuno.

“Me? I went back to take over the family business. I’m here today to accompany my daughter-in-law.”

“It’s been a long time since we last saw each other. How about we have a couple of drinks? I really miss our farewell drink from those days. I admire your drinking capacity, but you said there was a kind of liquor called Moutai here that tasted better than XO, which I don’t believe. I’ve been in your country for some days now, and although people have offered me Moutai, I have refused all along because I think it’s a drink I should have with you. What do you say, shall we drink a cup?”

Edward Wheeler of course wanted to have a drink with his long-lost friend, but he was still waiting for Kiara, so he regretfully said.

“It’s not possible right now. My daughter-in-law is still at work, and I need to wait for her to finish so I can take her home and then join you for a drink.”

“What time is it already, and what job does your daughter-in-law have?”

“My daughter-in-law, she is a psychologist, and coincidentally, she’s seeing your employer.”

This visit with his daughter-in-law was indeed very rewarding, and seeing Baron made Mario Yuno particularly happy.

“Eh? She’s that very good psychologist?” A complex light flashed in Baron’s eyes, but he quickly concealed it, and his smile stiffened.

“What’s wrong?” Edward Wheeler sharply noticed something off with Baron’s demeanor.

“Nothing,” Baron quickly adjusted his expression, trying to speak in a relaxed manner, “One, don’t let your daughter-in-law get involved in Mr. Russel’s affairs, just take her and go.”

He really hadn’t expected that One’s wife would be such a key figure, and Baron did his best within his abilities to persuade him.

“Why? Is there something wrong with their family?”

Edward Wheeler asked.

The Russel family’s pharmacy factory was a rising star in biological pharmaceuticals in recent years, with a bit of dealings with the Stone Family. When the Stone Family had a financial chain break, it was the Russel family and a few other powerful stakeholders who helped them out of the crisis. The head of this family also had a good reputation in the business circle. And that Aurora Dell that Edward Wheeler just met could be considered an acquaintance as well.

But why did Baron want Kiara to leave?

“Let me put it to you this way: the illness that Boss Li Brown’s father has, he has actually seen quite a few psychologists already, none of whom could cure him. The old man is already over 80 years old, how many years does he have left to live? If your daughter-in-law can’t cure him, or if she’s only halfway through when the old man dies, what if the Russel family retaliates against your daughter-in-law?”

As Edward Wheeler listened, he faintly felt that there was a hidden meaning in Baron’s words, so he pressed further.

“Exactly what is wrong with this Old Master?”

“He keeps shouting that he has a terminal illness. Today, he says a sore throat is throat cancer, tomorrow he’ll say stomach pain is stomach cancer, the day after he’s self-researching the news, claiming that he might have liver cancer. The most exaggerated case was when he read in the newspaper that someone’s stomach hatched snake eggs and later spat out several snakes; he utterly convinced himself that he had snakes in his stomach too, because he drank a few sips of spring water at the scenic area the day before yesterday. Old Father Jackson firmly believes the spring water contained snake eggs. You tell me, is there any need to treat this kind of mental illness?”

This is pure mental illness.
