“How do you know?” Zeke asked.
“I can sense your aura. You carry the air of a soldier from the North. This is a quality that cannot be masqueraded.
Besides, your aura is very intense, so I suppose you have stayed in the Military District in the North for a long time.”
Zeke nodded. “That's right. If you can sense the air of a soldier from the North on me, I assume you must've served
in the Military District in the North as a soldier too.”
Johan flashed a bitter smile. “Mr. Williams, have you heard of Cygnus Room?”
Zeke bobbed his head. “Of course.” Not only have I heard of Cygnus Room, but I'm also the one who established it.
“Strictly speaking, we are considered comrade-in-arms. Actually, I am from Cygnus Room, and Cygnus Room is a
subsidiary body of the Military District in the North.”
“Oh?” Zeke was surprised. “I did not expect you to be from Cygnus Room. All the soldiers from the North are
extremely loyal to the Great Marshall, so why did you betray Cygnus Room and join Theos Sect in the past?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJohan was slightly infuriated. “Mr. Williams, you shouldn't go around spewing nonsense. How can you associate a
soldier from the North like me with committing a betrayal?”
“Oh? In that case, I would like to ask why you have joined Theos Sect.”
Johan let out a long sigh. “It's a long story. In fact, Cygnus Room noticed signs of Theos Sect's activity in Eurasia a
few years ago. However, due to Theos' over-secretive nature, we failed to grasp much information about the sect.
In order to get a better understanding of Theos Sect and eliminate them once and for all, Cygnus Room assigned
me to sneak into the sect to carry out an investigation and obtain evidence. In the end, my investigation led me all
the way to Theos Island. Then, I realized there was no way for me to leave this place, and I lost all means of
communicating with Cygnus Room's headquarters. After that, I had no choice but to stay on Theos Island and spend
the rest of my life pretending to be one of their followers. Unintentionally, I climbed the ranks and became a
Chieftain of Theos Sect. All these years, I've never stopped investigating Theos. I've finally found a way to leave
Theos Island recently, but the method is too harsh and cruel, not to mention it will inflict a heavy toll on my body.
I'm already very old now, so I cannot withstand these torments anymore. I planned to give up, but your appearance
reignited my hopes. I want you to lead the worshippers in the outer district to leave this hellhole.”
Zeke regarded Johan with a faint smile. “Why do you trust me? Aren't you afraid that I will reveal your secret to
Theos?”
Johan responded, “There's already no way out for me, so I can only risk it all and place all my hopes on you.
Moreover, I can tell you're a man of honor and justice, so it is unlikely you will do anything detrimental to the North
Regiment.”
He paused briefly before continuing, “Alas, I'm also suffering from lung cancer, so I don't have much longer to live.
If I don't hurry and find someone who can bring these believers and the information I collected out of here, I'm
afraid there won't be a chance for me to do so in the future.”
“Oh?” Zeke glanced at Johan. “Lung cancer?”
Johan nodded.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZeke casually grabbed Johan's hand, wanting to take his pulse.
Taken aback, Johan attempted to retract his hand. “Stop that! What are you trying to do?”
“Stay still. I'm checking your pulse.”
“You're adept at medicine too?” Johan asked curiously.
“Of course.”
Johan was in disbelief. “If that's the case, you must be a military doctor in the North. As far as I'm concerned,
military doctors never engage with enemies in frontline battles, nor do they need to learn to protect themselves.
However, your combat prowess is exceptional... Did you hold an important position in the army? Only the higher-
ups are proficient in both medical and combat skills.”
Zeke chuckled inwardly. I'm the Great Marshal. I wonder if you will consider me one of the North's higher-ups.
Soon, Zeke was done checking Johan's pulse. “There is a disease spreading in your chest due to the accumulation
of negative energy in your body. You are indeed suffering from lung cancer. However, there is still a way to cure
your condition.”
