Chapter 8
He stubbornly believed that Harley loved him deeply, so he would stop at nothing to win him over.
But he didn’t realize that, he didn’t know since when, Harley’s love for him had already completely vanished.
Joaquin stared at the man, laughing bitterly.
“Do you know why, even though you felt like you were working hard, you couldn’t secure a spot to return home for several years?”
The man had never seen Joaquin’s expression before, as if he was going to devour him alive, and unconsciously swallowed his saliva.
“Why… why?”
Joaquin’s gaze turned cold, and he said, word by word, “Because your mindset was flawed. Look deep within yourself and ask, isn’t your so- called effort just a facade?”
Furthermore, if the organization were to find out that you could do such despicable things, you would never be able to go back for the rest of your life.
“I would report to the organization truthfully, but it is not up to me to decide how to handle it.”
Joaquin tied the man up with a rope he found from inside the house, and then picked up the landline phone to truthfully report the situation to his superiors.
After the superior sent the security guard to take the person away, Joaquin
finally collapsed on the sofa, feeling relieved.
He glanced at his watch and realized that it was already ten minutes past the departure time. Myra and her friends must have left early.
Just as I was thinking, there came the sound of footsteps outside the door.
Myra pushed open the door in a fluster, panting heavily, with fine sweat covering her forehead, looking somewhat exhausted.
“Joaquin, why did you suddenly go back?”
“Why didn’t you leave with the rest of the troops?”
The two of them almost spoke at the same time and then simultaneously froze.
After a long silence, Myra was the first to answer Joaquin’s question.
“I was worried about you, so I decided to come back and check on you. After all, there will be another chance to return to the city, but it wouldn’t be good if something happened to you.”
“And Joaquin, I just asked someone, and in this situation, we can apply to the organization. In a few days, there will be another trip that can take us back, so we don’t have to wait for another six months to fight for a spot to return to the city.”

Myra approached and took hold of Joaquin’s arm, her eyes gleaming with joy, while Joaquin kept his hand in his pocket, caressing the letter inside.
“Since you came back, there is something I want to ask you.”
Myra was a bit confused.
“What’s the matter?”

Joaquin took out a barely stuck envelope from his pocket and looked at Myra with a serious expression.
“Was this letter from Harley that was torn up and thrown away by you?”
Myra’s face slightly changed; she didn’t expect that this letter would be discovered by Joaquin. Immediately, she put on a shocked expression.
“Was that letter written by Harley to you?”
“Sorry Joaquin, at that time. I had put that letter and some scrap paper together. thinking that it was not important, so I tore them up and threw them away.”
Myra’s eyes were filled with apologies, as if it was truly an accident.
“What did Harley say? Did she tell you the address for going out, and when will she be back?”
Joaquin kept staring into Myra’s eyes, trying to catch a glimpse of something.
But Myra’s expression didn’t seem fake, so he had to suppress his doubts. for now.
“No, she didn’t say anything.”
Myra was a little helpless.
Is this child going through adolescence and doesn’t want to be controlled by others?
“Wait until we returned to the city, let’s go to the nearby schools and inquire about it, to see if Harley has enrolled. If not, we can search elsewhere.”
Joaquin nodded and said he was tired, then went straight to his room to

Myra on the sofa looked at the envelope on the table and clenched her fist tightly.
