Chapter 499

Meanwhile, back in the cafe, Sage and Laura were chatting happily. Both were quiet people with few
words. It was the first time they had met after a long time, but somehow, they managed to keep talking.
Laura was serving in the military as a Major General and a female machine gunner. She used to be
comrades with Jace and Yoel in Team Draco and had a life-long friendship. Soldiers were respectable.
Sage always had a liking for them because of her experience of being kidnapped as a child. Besides,
Laura was a heroic and handsome special force police. “And I was wondering why I never saw you
again. So you’re now a soldier.” Laura left a strong impression on the young Sage. After all, not many
could defeat Kane or make him cry. To see Laura beat Kane to tears was truly an unforgettable scene.

It was not just her. Her other brothers would bring up this incident from time to time to tease Kane.

When they were young, all of them studied martial arts in a martial arts school. Laura’s family sent her
to learn martial arts. They wanted her to become healthier, but they never thought that she would
become a little bully there.

Laura was beautiful enough to do anything she wanted. Strangely though, she insisted on finding her
place in the world of men by using her fists.

Laura’s beauty was different from Sage’s sweet and aloof appearance. Laura looked charmingly
seductive with her sharp chin and defined eyes. Her features were strong. She spent years fighting in
her career, which added a hint of masculinity and handsomeness to her appearance. A writer named
Woolf once wrote, ‘Great souls are androgynous.’

What he meant was women like Laura.

Laura laughed. “I’m a girl with a manly heart. A typical girl’s life isn’t for me. I didn’t want to go to
school, fall in love, get married, and have children. Military life is more suitable for me.” Sage said,
“Girls don’t necessarily have to get married and have children. People may think that having a husband
and children is normal life for girls, but we only have one chance to live. It’s our choice in the way we
live. I think it’s fine as long as you choose the right path and continue to walk steadfastly.” “You’re right.
I think so too.” Laura and Sage had fun chatting. They raised their glasses and toasted. Laura mixed
the cocktail herself and named it Blue Moon. The cocktail was ice-blue in color. It was nice but very
strong.

.

No one else except her would mix a cocktail in a cafe.

The alcohol was hot and spicy but gave a comfortable and refreshing feeling.

It had been a long time since Sage had such a nice chat and good drink.

Jace stood aside and watched them. He could not help but say, “This drink is too strong. Drink less.”

“Just let me be.” Sage shot a cold glare at Jace. “Are you not going to comfort your dream lover? What
are you doing here?”

Jace pursed his lips and remained silent.

Laura glared at Jace too. “She’s right. What are you doing here? Go do what you need to do.”

Jace was good-natured to Sage but fierce to others. He turned to glance at Laura and said, “Why didn’t
you go home during your break? What are you doing in Nadeem City?” “I’m here to hide from trouble



and heal my wounds.” As soon as she said that, Jace and Sage asked in unison with different
concerns. Jace asked, “Hide from trouble?” Sage asked, “Are you hurt?”

Laura saw their nervous and concerned look and smiled softly. She put her hand on her waist and said
casually, “It’s not a big deal. I have an old injury on my waist… Ah, now that I mention it, it hurts again.”

She did not explain her trouble and reason for hiding. After all, she did not even know who was stalking
her.
