Chapter 79

Burton was taken aback, “What?”

Eileen frowned, “Of course, this is my stuff.”

Burton looked at the suitcase on the ground in confusion, “But isn’t this the robbers”…”

Eileen suddenly stood up, confidently stepping on the suitcase and shouted, “I found this suitcase and

it’s mine now! There’s no name on it, how do you know whose it is?”

Burton, “Huh?”

Egbert approached, patting Burton’s shoulder, “Yeah, it’s hers.”

Burton, “What???”

He thought, “are you guys robbers?”

Anyway, Burton finally got some clothes to wear.

Just as he was about to sit down and rest, he heard Eileen say, “Go find some food.”

Burton looked around, then pointed to his nose, “Me?”

Eileen was, not satisfied, “Of course. I lent you my clothes and you should pay me back, right?”.

Burton was shocked.

Christy felt awkward, “I’ll go with him.”

Eileen glanced at him, indifferent, “Alright, be safe.”

Egbert also said, “I’ll go too.”

Eileen immediately turned to Egbert, “What are you going for?”

Egbert smiled, “To accompany them?”

Eileen frowned, “Why do you always like to make a fuss? You’re so sensitive and not helpful, just wait

here for dinner.”

Burton, “You…?”

What’s up with Mr. Reed?

Wait, Christy is not stronger than Mr. Reed, why does he have to work but Mr. Reed can chill?

Burton felt it was very unfair.

Just as he was about to say something, the girl across yelled at him, “Not going? It’s getting dark! Are

you blind?”

Burton jumped.

He swallowed his complaints, feeling wronged, and went to find food with Christy.

He didn’t mind working, but he wasn’t good at foraging. What if he accidentally picked a poisonous

mushroom?

Mr. Reed was a soldier of special forces, with over half a year of jungle tracking experience. His

survival skills were much better!

Only Eileen and Egbert were left in the camp.

The two white monkeys were still under anesthesia, sleeping in the tent.

Egbert stood by the fire, watching Eileen like a busy hamster, taking out the robbers’ suitcases and

stuffing the contents into her own backpack.

The backpack was too small to fit all this stuff.

Egbert said, “Just take the useful things.”

“No!” Eileen insisted, shouting, “These are mine, all mine, I want to take them all!”

Egbert was speechless.

Eileen struggled for a while, realizing she couldn’t fit all the stuff.

She stood there in silence.

After a while, she suddenly said, “We need more backpacks. If we had two more, three in total, we

could fit everything. Then, I’d carry one, and Burton would carry two.”

Egbert laughed, “Where’d you find more backpacks?”

Each team only had one backpack. He and Burton had lost theirs, so now they only had Eileen’s one

left.

Eileen suddenly looked at Egbert, “Hedy has a backpack.”

Egbert went silent.

Eileen squinted, “Hubery Cooper has one too.”

Egbert took a deep breath, “Where are they?”

Eileen looked up at the drone, “We should ask this drone.”

The drone that was filming them and recording their conversation clearly, “…”.

“Come down.” Eileen waved at the drone.

The drone sensed danger and flew higher!

Eileen picked up a sniper rifle with the tip of her shoë, aimed at the sky, pulled the trigger, and squinted,

“I’ll count to three, one, two…”

The drone, the officers and staff monitoring the camp were all speechless.

Egbert stopped her when she was about to count “three,” “Don’t mess around.”

Eileen angrily said, “I’m not messing around!

Egbert soothed, “The show has its rules.”

Eileen pursed her lips, finally put down the gun, took out the stuff from the backpack again, and

repacked it more carefully.

When Burton and Christy returned with fruit, they saw Eileen, serious and tense, wrestling with a large

amount of supplies.

Burton was so scared that his steps and breath lightened.

Christy quietly asked Egbert, “What’s wrong with her?”

Egbert calmly said, “It’s not convenient to carry the suitcases, she wants to stuff everything into the

backpack.”

Christy glanced at it, “That’s definitely not gonna fit…”

Before he finished speaking, Eileen turned her head and stared at him coldly.

Christy went silent.

Burton quickly covered Christy’s mouth, smiling at Eileen, “He’s joking, just joking.”

That night, Eileen couldn’t figure out how to fit everything into the backpack.

When it was quiet at night, Burton and Christy had gone to sleep.

Egbert sat by the fire, watching Eileen still pondering how to pack these things.

He suddenly remembered what Burton had told him during the day.

“Eileen, female, 19 years old. Her father, Nathan Howard, codenamed Falcon, was the former

commander of the 10th Military Region, Eaglehunt Covert Strike Team 1. He died in a cross-border

drug trafficking case nine years ago…”

Half a year after Nathan kicked the bucket, his dad, Robin Howard, who was a hotshot doc that once

treated bigwigs and his mom, Camille Thomas, who was a brainiac scientist from the anti-missile

project team at the Department of Defense, were picking up their granddaughter-Nathan’s daughter-

from school when they were caught in a car crash.

The two old folks who had once done their bit for the country were sadly toast right there and then in

the accident.

After Major Robin’s daughter was rescued and discharged from the hospital, she was sent back to the

only direct relative she had left, her biological mom Sarah

Sarah’s successor tied the knot with the Lopez family.

Eileen, when she turned eighteen, nailed the entrance exam to the Capital Military Academy, but didn’t

show up for the start of term.

In the end, her admission was axed.

When she was nineteen, she started her life in showbiz. After a few run-ins with people, she started

living in the shadows online.

“The military folks couldn’t figure out why she decided to give the Military Academy a pass,” said

Burton. “But word is, her family didn’t want her signing up…”

Egbert didn’t respond to Burton at the time.

But he knew that what Burton was saying was the real deal.

The reason her family put the kibosh on her joining the Military Academy.

In fact, when Isabel was dead set on Eileen being her aunt, Egbert also dug up Eileen’s past through

his own channels.

In this process, he not only found Sarah, Ableson Lopez, Hedy, Hubery and others.

He also found out about everything Eileen had been through over the years.

He also found someone else.

Someone he never saw coming.
