It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 162

“Commander, let me bring Ms. Lucia back,” Tandy said after standing up and looking at Lowell for a long moment.

“No. Tandy, listen carefully to every word I say. So swear to me by your loyalty.” Lowell looked at Tandy for a long time. “No matter what happens, whether I am alive or dead, please protect Lucia with your life and be faithful to her, just as you are faithful to me,” Lowell said word for word.

“Commander…Please calm down.” Tandy was shocked by what Lowell said and didn’t know what to do.

Ignoring his words, Lowell looked at him calmly, as if waiting for his response. After a long silence, Tandy gave Lowell a standard military salute and repeated word for word what Lowell had just said. Once a mercenary has sworn loyalty to someone, he would never betray that person.

Lowell’s words and the “Mermaid’s Tear” had already decided Lucia’s position. No matter what happened in the future, at least Lucia would be under protection. That was enough for Lowell. The unknown risks he faced could only be faced by himself.

Today it was time to put an end to all the grudges of the last thirty-four years. Despite their own expectations, the outcome would be decided by God.

Lowell took off his costume and put on the previous outfit as a mercenary. And the people in the villa seemed to have changed overnight. From top to bottom, they were all hidden masters. They were mercenaries who only took the highest level missions. At this moment, they followed the call of their spiritual leader and entered this unknown abyss without hesitation. They have no regrets even if they die. It was the highest spirit of a soldier.

“Commander…all members of the mercenary system will also be loyal to Ms. Lucia as for you.” The other mercenaries present also swore to be loyal to Lucia like Tandy did.

Tandy looked at Lowell in front of him. He remembered the first time he met Lowell. At least at that time, he never thought that such a person with oriental b***d could finally take over from the previous spiritual leader and lead the mercenaries.

Tandy and Lowell entered the mercenary training base at the same time. Most of the people there were orphans, entering the training base for special reasons or through special channels and becoming mercenaries. No one was invincible from the start. At first, everyone was harassed by their superiors. Later,

Not everyone had the courage to undergo the inhuman training again, and not everyone had the energy to start from scratch. However, Lowell was an exception. He had been a person of few words since childhood, but his imposing natural aura had unconsciously suppressed many people. He fell, got up, failed, succeeded… Lowell moved forward step by step.

Tandy always remembered the look in Lowell’s eyes when he first met him. The indifference in his eyes and the coldness from the bottom of his heart were inconsistent with his real age. As a result, high-level mercenaries looked down on him. In their opinion, such a young boy could not accomplish anything important. However, when their heads were pointed by Lowell’s gun, they realized that they had underestimated this young boy.

In the mercenary system, the level of mission one could undertake depended on one’s qualifications, years of service, and the success rate of the mission. After leaving the training base, Lowell began taking missions. It was he who was promoted to the rank of senior mercenary at the fastest speed. And his failure rate was zero. The reason for his last unusual promotion was that all the senior mercenaries in the system had failed to complete a mission, while Lowell, who was only a mid-level mercenary at the time, skipped his level and took on this seemingly impossible mission.

There were many people waiting to make fun of him, and even many of them started betting. Ninety-nine percent of them bet that Lowell would fail or even lose his life. However, Lowell completed the mission within the allotted time, got the final reward, and returned unscathed. This was the first time such a thing had happened in the mercenary system. He received more criticism than praise. Even the congratulations were full of hypocrisy and distrust.

“Congratulations!” Tandy walked over and looked at Lowell for a long time before saying lightly.

Lowell’s eyes fell directly into Tandy’s eyes. There was no warmth or emotion in them. He just gave Tandy a slight glance, turned and left. This was the first time Tandy took the initiative to speak to Lowell.

Things didn’t go well after that. Under the leadership system of the previous spiritual leader of the mercenaries, there was also cruel competition between the mercenaries. The winner would be the king. And when the spiritual leader intended to step down, such competition became more evident. In fact, they were united in the event of an invasion from external enemies. In peaceful and prosperous times, they began to fight against each other.

Lowell became the main target of many people. It was too catchy. The outstanding appearance, the perfect success rate… Any one of them could drive people crazy. Many people wanted to frustrate him. For countless times, countless people had provoked him, but ultimately failed. Finally, Lowell took on a high-level assignment. He completed all the arrangements by himself and returned with victory. After that, he led most of the mercenaries with his energetic way of doing things.

Although he did not officially become the spiritual leader of the mercenaries, he was one in essence. The previous spiritual leader appeared when he retired, and Lowell respectfully called him “father.” Everyone present was shocked, and the expressions in their eyes slowly changed from disbelief to admiration. As the adopted son of the previous spiritual leader, he could emerge from the darkest depths step by step, then his temperament and abilities would have long been unquestionable.

Finally, Lowell became the spiritual leader of the mercenaries. He ruled all mercenaries more openly, but since then he had strictly forbidden them from fighting against each other within the system. It allowed reasonable competition, but did not authorize the operation of the black box. The mercenaries of this period were even more powerful than before.

“Commander,” Tandy said respectfully.

This was the second time Tandy had spoken to Lowell, but her tone was different, from the original equality to the present respect and obedience. And Tandy had long become a mercenary who only took the high-level mission and became an elite among mercenaries.

However, the memories that Lowell had left in his mind for more than ten years began to become very clear. Every expression, every movement, and even every word of Lowell appears over and over again in Tandy’s mind and cannot be erased. He was like a young man who gradually came into contact with romance. Looking at this unattainable man, Tandy gradually changed his original idea and had a trace of feelings that he should not have had for Lowell.

Even though he had slept with countless women, he still couldn’t find a sense of satisfaction in them. There was only physical pleasure. Only when he faced Lowell calmly would he have a crush again. It was a kind of excitement and desperation for romance.

Then, Tandy hid her feelings well. But he inadvertently revealed it when he wasn’t paying enough attention. But in return, Lowell always looked at him coldly and mercilessly. The vague relationship between him and Lowell was just like that. He didn’t say it clearly, and Lowell didn’t seem to know. Lowell was calm, but Tandy was deeply trapped there and couldn’t escape.

As a result, Tandy had absolute loyalty to Lowell. And what Lowell cared about would also be what he cared about. Just as he had sworn, he would protect Lowell’s beloved Lucia until her life perished, just as he was loyal to Lowell.

It seemed that Lowell had noticed Tandy’s gaze and thoughts. He turned back to Tandy. The feelings hidden in Tandy’s eyes became more complicated. After a long silence, Lowell looked away and examined his outfit again.

“Commander, I don’t think this video was as simple as we saw it. Maybe it’s just a trap to lure you to go alone,” Hudson persuaded.

Just like before, the Evans family members could create false information and change different scenes, so they could not find Lucia’s trace. After careful tracing, they had discovered that these videos had already been tampered with. The Evans family members just wanted them to constantly watch the fake videos, which made them confused.

And people were likely to misjudge when they were perplexed and nervous. Everyone present knew how important Lucia was to Lowell, while Malcolm was their long-time adversary. Everyone knew his coldness and cruelty. At least they didn’t think Malcolm could still wait so calmly to kill someone at such a time.

Hudson suspected that the video, like those they had seen earlier, had been recorded in advance, not a live video. Maybe Lucia had already been killed without waiting an hour for Lowell to save her. And if Lowell went there, he would fall into the trap alone. In such a closed environment, no matter how well they arranged, they could not easily fight against the members of the Evans family. So the result could be imagined.

Hudson’s doubts were written clearly on his face. Everyone knew about these possibilities. Looking at the determined look on Lowell’s face, everyone knew that his mind couldn’t be changed because of their opinions.

However, Lowell was their spiritual leader and they could not allow an accident to happen to him. In a sense, a spiritual leader was more like their spiritual sustenance. If these mercenaries lost their spiritual sustenance, they would fight separately and no longer work together. It would be a piece of cake for someone powerful to destroy them.

But now there was no more fitting spiritual leader than Lowell in the mercenary system. His abilities, his intelligence and his charm had already exceeded the limits of what people could have. Any word from Lowell, even unintentional, would be followed like the will of a god.

The spiritual leader was the supreme god in the hearts of the mercenaries. They did not believe in any church or any god. They only believed in god in their hearts.

However, in a certain sense, a god’s order could not be disobeyed or changed. Lowell looked away. Everything was settled.
