"Really?"
Sean was a little surprised.
He had one hundred thousand in his personal guard in the Northwest Army back then.
They took orders from no one but Sean.
Zander was their leader.
However, Sean had no idea that so many of those people were from Joules Town.
"Yes, Commander.
"As you know, a great event took place in Joules Town.
"So the men in Joules Town have a deep hatred of invaders.
"Many young men enlisted in the army immediately as soon as they came of age."
Zander nodded and explained with a smile.
"In that case, this is fate."
Sean smiled and nodded at that.
"Fate? What fate?"
Zander was a little confused.
"I'm from Joules Town."
Sean was silent for two seconds but told the truth anyway.
"What?"
Zander was stunned. It was the first time he had heard of it.
"No way. How is that possible? How can you also be from Joules Town?
"What a coincidence."
Zander thought it was too much of a coincidence.
Sean was going to Joules Town to meet his adoptive father's friend. It was a bit of a coincidence that he was also from Joules Town.
"Coincidence?
"My adoptive father visited his friend in Joules Town.
"And he coincidentally met me at the orphanage and brought me to the Northwest Army."
Sean smiled and answered casually.
"Ah... I see. Ahem..."
Zander came to himself and coughed to hide his embarrassment.
"Speaking of which, I haven't been back for more than ten years."
Sean sighed and thought about all the people he had met when he was younger and wondered if they were all right.
He had no idea if the orphanage was still around.
"Commander, do you want to go back and check it out?"
Zander asked cautiously after a pause.
"No."
Sean shook his head slightly.
He would not have waited until now if he wanted to go back.
However, he had no intention of going back.
After all, no one wanted to relive their painful past.
It was unspeakably bitter, especially for a child who grew up in an orphanage.
"But the orphanage raised you..."
Zander knew Sean was a man of gratitude.
How Sean had repaid Willow for taking of him for the past two years was the best example.
Therefore, he thought Sean was trying to avoid something. Maybe he only did not want to talk about his sad past.
After all, no one wanted to be an orphan.
