If It's Not Me

Chapter 35 Those Days

When Daniel realized that the lady had somewhat learned about who he was, he wasn't surprised at all. The adjudicators were under the Force Tribunal, an organization in charge of monitoring the abnormal activities of Freyna's fighters. There were a total of 18 adjudicators, and Isa was one of them. In fact, Daniel and Isa went back a long way. In those days, Isa was ambushed when she was going after a fighter who was killing innocent people. In the end, she was saved by Daniel, who was alone out there. That force which the fighter had defected to at that time was also Daniel's subject of investigation. At that time, he had disobeyed the order and returned to the country alone to carry out the mission. Isa also recognized that he was Hades, the legendary figure of Thanatos. They spent around eight days with each other and completed their respective missions. Throughout this period, they became friends as well. Yet, it was out of his expectation that she would confess her feelings to him. On the contrary, he was worried that he would make her misunderstand, so he left secretly at night without her knowing. He didn't know that he would meet her here as well. "Save it. Why are you in Goldshore?" Daniel asked resignedly. Isa winked at him cheekily and answered, "I heard you're here, so I came here to look for you. You still haven't given me a reply to my question back then." Hearing that, he frowned a little. She felt that his reaction was no fun at all, so she pouted. "Sigh. After so long, you're still so cold to me. You even abandoned me at those places back then." When she talked about those days, he was slightly embarrassed and looked away. "Stop joking. Spit it." Isa didn't make fun of him anymore either and explained seriously, "Recently, the Force Tribunal found out that there are signs of abnormal activities among fighters in Goldshore, so they sent me here to see what is going on. I found out that you're here only after I arrived." "Signs of abnormal activities?" After some thought, Daniel said, "Could it be the phantom guards?" After all, he had placed the 300 phantom guards in different corners of Goldshore to collect information, so it was inevitable for them to attract attention. Reflectively, Isa's pupils dilated out of shock. "The phantom guards? You brought Thanatos' phantom guards back?" Her tone was stern, but her voice was low. "They are my troop and not under Thanatos," he said calmly. "Fine." She could only agree. The next second, she started smiling again and said, "I can save the effort to investigate then and use this time to have a trip here for a few days under the name of work." As she said that, she looked at him discreetly and pouted. "General Hardon, you can have a meal with me now, right? I'll take this as your compensation for abandoning me in those days." When Daniel heard that, he was stunned for a moment. The light turned green at the same time and a petite short-haired girl suddenly knocked him from the back. Without lifting her head, she said, "Sorry." After that, she walked into the crowd in a hurry. "It seems like I'm not free now," he said with a smile. He then pulled his arms from Isa's hands to chase after the girl. Meanwhile, Isa looked at his figure from the back, disgruntled, and threw a punch secretly. "I'll have you sooner or later!" … The petite girl used her physical advantage to travel through the crowd skillfully. She peeped at her back every now and then and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that no one was coming after her. Then, she crept into an alley and took out the wallet she had just stolen. When she opened it, there was only an ID card and a black card in it. "Daniel Hardon…" She looked at the information on the ID card and felt that this name was quite familiar, but she couldn't recall where she heard it. She then flipped through the wallet again, but there was nothing in it this time.
