"Tristan Acker!"
Priscilla's heart was about to shatter into pieces when she saw him.
Was he crazy?
Didn't he know that he was already a fugitive in Angolla? How could he appear in front of everyone?
However, a smile appeared on his handsome face, and he said faintly, "No one can hurt you if I'm around."
His voice was so soft that only Priscilla could hear it. But her head felt that it was about to burst open as fragments of her memory rushed through her head.
She remembered that they were on a battlefield, and flames were covering the sky. At that time, Tristan had rolled away as he held Priscilla tightly in his arms. He said then, "No one can hurt you if I'm around."
She was fine that time, but Tristan was covered in bruises.
That year, she was eighteen years old while Tristan was in his twenties.
At that time, Tristan was still frail, and he didn't have a good complexion. He wasn't good at fighting, but he came to save her repeatedly without caring about his capabilities.
Priscilla's head ached terribly as she recalled this. Suddenly, she remembered everything that she seemed to have forgotten last time.
It turned out that they had known each other for a long time.
In fact, they used to be so close!
Suddenly, Priscilla could smell the pungent smell of blood, and she teared up immediately.
"Are you stupid?"
"Don't cry."
Tristan wiped her tears while a pistol slipped down from his sleeve. He then immediately aimed right at the captain's temple.
The pistol had a silencer, and it hit its target immediately.
When the other people saw that their captain was dead, they panicked immediately.
At this time, Teagan came back.
When he saw Tristan's injured back and how Priscilla was crying uncontrollably, he was furious.
"I will kill you b*stards!"
He then raised his gun and went on a rampage.
Didn't they say that the Acker family had rebelled?
He would show them what a rebellion looked like!
When Tristan heard the gunshots, he turned around and saw Teagan's reckless behavior, so he couldn't help but frown.
"Priscilla, take good care of yourself. Today, the Acker family won't be able to escape unscathed. As my father is no longer around, I can't let anything happen to his only child by blood."
"Let me do it?!"
Priscilla knew how important the Acker family was to Tristan.
After all, she remembered everything now.
She recalled everything that happened when she was with Tristan.
Since he belonged to her, she was determined to pay the price for his actions.
After all, Tristan had always risked his life for her. Hence, wouldn't be a big deal if she did the same for him today.
So Priscilla pushed Tristan behind her. Even now, she was still hoping that Tristan would not expose his identity.
At the same time, Priscilla jumped up and kicked Teagan away while a bullet brushed past Teagan's
ear.
Teagan was stunned when he saw this, and he immediately realized that Priscilla had saved him. However, before he could say anything, Priscilla had already joined the battle.
At this moment, Teagan had mixed feelings.
"What are you looking at? Let's go!"
Tristan endured the pain and pulled at Teagan while exclaiming.
"Urgh! Who asked you to come back?"
"Well, you're my brother, so I can't let you die here alone! This involves the Acker family, and you can't do this!"
Teagan suddenly started tearing up childishly.
After all, they had grown up together. Although they were unrelated by blood, they thought of each other as brothers.
At that moment, tears welled up in Tristan's eyes.
He then grabbed Teagan and hugged him tightly while whispering, "Teagan, I am a soldier. However, I can't allow Laborn to die now."
Right now, he wanted to kill Laborn more than anyone else, but he couldn't do that.
After all, Laborn had committed too many crimes and needed to be put to trial in front of many countries. Hence, Tristan couldn't let him die unjustifiably because of personal grievances.
Well, Tristan knew that Teagan was going all out to kill Laborn. In fact, wasn't he doing the same?
On the other hand, his duty prevented him from doing so.
After hearing this, Teagan paused for a while and then asked, "When can it happen then?"
