“Yeah, I used to work in an army kitchen for two years.”
Sean paused before explaining softly.
“Uhm…”
Lexie was disappointed when she heard this.
“No wonder he’s so good at cooking...” Willow was taken aback when she heard those words and muttered in a low voice.
“Forget it, Willow. Rae has repeatedly told me that this photo must not be shown to others.
“If we didn’t have a very good relationship with her, I wouldn't have shown it to you.”
Lexie retracted her gaze and tactfully halted any further conversation.
“This should be all right because Sean used to be in the army.
“Also, I’m sure he won't tell anyone.”
Willow really wanted to show the picture to Sean because she wished to get an answer from him.
Therefore, she insisted again on showing him the picture.
Lexie hesitated.
In her heart, she was also very curious about the identity of this man!
‘He’s just a cripple, and he has no friends at all, so he probably won't tell the others...’
With this in mind, Lexie nodded and handed her phone to Willow.
“Sean, look at this person. Do you know who he is?”
Willow took the phone and could not wait to get it in front of Sean.
Sean slowly turned his head and looked at the phone upon hearing this.
Time seemed to stop at his first glance of the picture.
Sean’s eyes were bulging, and his pupils constricted.
How could he not recognize himself?
How could he not remember that the Northwest army had only allowed their nine-star commander to board the military watchtower?
Right then, countless pictures flashed through Sean’s mind.
In the past, 100,000 personal guards had stood at attention like loaded steel guns.
Countless soldiers stood at attention in front of him, every pair of eyes looking up at him.
All of them were waiting for him to give them their orders.
He had been wearing a smart nine-star commander uniform in the Northwest desert, holding a Nation Defending Sword in his hand.
He had led countless armies under his command to guard the frontiers.
He had conquered the Northwest with millions of troops in battle and recovered 4,000 kilometers of land.
After eight years in the army, Sean had fought countless battles without a single defeat!
A general who achieved constant victory, an undefeated god of war, a commander who protected the country…
Those honorary titles were all given to Sean.
However, he still lost in the end.
He had not lost to the enemy, but...
He had lost to the trusted brother beside him.
Sean remained silent. He stared at the photos, countless memories flashing through his mind like a movie playing.
Willow and Lexie looked at Sean with some expectation.
‘Why is Sean not speaking? Does he really know the man in the photo?’ Willow thought to herself.
Willow wanted to know more about the connection between this man and Sean so badly!
“Sean, do you know him?” Willow looked at Sean and asked cautiously as she pursed her mouth.
