Chapter 511

The others present might not know about it, but Eve knew full well that

Emmanuel was once the Wolf Warrior, commander of Northern Region’s most

elite team, and a hero who once led his people to great victories!

Emmanuel’s eyes were swimming with tears as he was overcome with

emotions. “Before Dillon died, he used to call me his brother! Now that he’s no

longer with us, I should be the one taking care of his parents in his place!”

The elderly couple teared up at his words.

They didn’t want much in life. They were simply worried that with their son

gone, they wouldn’t have anyone to send them off when their time was up.

Therefore, after hearing Emmanuel’s declaration, they felt a surge of warmth

in their hearts. They were a lot less worried now. Even though it was only their

first time meeting Emmanuel, they felt like they could depend on him!

“Dillon sacrificed his life for the country. The Northern Region had issued a

death gratuity for his family, so why are you still living in this state?” All of a

sudden, Eve asked a crucial question.

When ordinary soldiers in the Northern Region died, their families would

receive 120 thousand in the form of death gratuity. Blockhead was a member

of the Wolf Warrior Unit, so his family should’ve gotten multiple times that

amount! They wouldn’t have to live like this if they received that money, right?

Emmanuel got back on his feet. He was curious about this too.

However, Dillon’s mother Martha had a blank look on her face. “What are you

talking about? What death gratuity?”

Upon seeing the look on her face, Emmanuel and Eve exchanged glances.

The same thought occurred to both of them. They didn’t receive the death

gratuity from the Northern Region!

At last, Dillon’s father Frank hoisted himself up with the help of a log of wood

that served as his cane and cried out, “Mr. Hound and the other b*stards with

him must’ve taken the money before it got to us!”

Eve’s brow furrowed at once as she recalled what happened back then.

Although she wasn’t in charge of the Northern Region’s finances, she did

handle some of the administrative tasks. At the time, someone from finance

had asked her for the details and addresses of the families of the Wolf

Warrior Unit members.

Blockhead was one of them! Now that I think about it, I bet Blockhead’s family

doesn’t have a bank account where the money could be transferred to.

Maybe they had to send cash or a check to the family.

Eve muttered all she knew into Emmanuel’s ear.

At once, Emmanuel’s fists clenched so hard that his veins popped. He turned

to Dillon’s parents and promised, “Since I came here today, I will get to the

bottom of this and help you get back your son’s death gratuity!”

Even if he couldn’t recover the funds, he would give them the sum from his

own pocket instead.

Although Emmanuel made his promise with absolute confidence, the elderly

couple simply nodded absent-mindedly and sighed. It was clear that they

didn’t think Emmanuel and Eve could do it.

At last, Eve asked, “Where’s your daughter, Dillon’s younger sister?”

That was one of the reasons they came to Eastern Star Mountain.

“You’re looking for Amy?” Frank said. “She left a year ago to live with her aunt

at West Shelter Village.”

West Shelter Village was one of the settlements on the west side of Eastern

Star Mountain.

Before coming over, Emmanuel had pored over a map that he got from Eve.

Not only did he know where the village was, he even knew that it was one of

the most remote settlements on this mountain.

“Why did she leave to stay with her aunt?” Eve queried.

Frank sighed. “Amy has some kind of mental illness, and well… One of us has

problems moving around and the other is sick most of the time, so we can’t

raise her. We had to let her leave with her aunt instead!”

The more Emmanuel heard about the family’s situation, the more his heart

ached.

Blockhead sacrificed his life for his country, but his family has been suffering

so terribly in their hometown! His sister was sexually assaulted by the local

bully until she became mentally unstable, and even the death gratuity that

was given to his family because of his death had been stolen from them.

Why is the world so unfair?

“I’m sorry! I failed your son!”

Emmanuel closed his eyes to stop his tears from falling. His jaw was tight with

bitterness as he declared, “Don’t worry. Your son used to call me his brother,

and now that I’ve come here today, I will definitely resolve all your difficulties!”

He wouldn’t have known that Dillon’s family was in such dire straits if he

hadn’t come to Eastern Star Mountain in search of the Ghost Doctor!
