Chapter 227 The truth
John and others returned to the Oracle Palace.
In the south part of the palace.
Kate woke up from a coma, her face as white as a sheet. What she saw first was a familiar face looking at her with concern.
“Little John...”
She murmured.
Her mind was still in a mess.
Was it an illusion?
She was dead, right?
Then why was John in front of her? Was he a fake shadow she imagined before she went to the underworld?
Kate reached out her hand to rub John’s face. “My little John... I’m so sorry.... I have just met you once, and now I’m leaving...I’m so sorry”
“Kate, see, you are still alive. I have killed all the bastards that dared hurt you.”
John was heartbroken when seeing Kate's pale face.
“Am I still alive?”
Kate was stunned.She could feel the pain coming from her shoulders.
How could a dead person feel pain?She rubbed her face in a daze, the touch was so real, so warm.
“I thought I was dead! I thought I would never see you again...” Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Regardless of the pain on her shoulder, Kate threw herself onto John’s arms and burst into tears.
John hugged her tightly, his heart also trembled.
Kate was so pitiful and helpless, like a little rabbit in the grass.
But those beasts had the heart to kill her!
“It’s all right, Kate. I will never let you get hurt again. If anyone dares to hurt you, I shall tear them apart and send them to hell.”
Comforted John, patting Kate on the shoulder,
Kate cried for a long time.
Then something ran a bell.She turned over her collar to check her buttons.She had put a micro— camera there.
But now it was gone.She must have lost it when she ran away.
“No...”
Tears welled up in her eyes again.
They had spent so much time lurking in Texas and recording the evidence about crimes, but she lost the camera! She couldn't live up to her dead companions...
“What's going on, Kate? What were you up to in Texas?” Asked John.
If there were just investigating a kidnapping, how could they be hunted down by mercenaries?
Kate’s eyes were red and swollen from crying. After hearing John’s question, she shook her head in silence.
John's face darkened. “You don't want to tell me? Alright. I'll go to Texas myself to see what's going on.”
“No...”
“Then tell me the truth!”
John looked at Kate seriously.
Kate saw the determination in his eyes.
She lowered her head, hesitated for a moment before saying, “Okay. Don’t do anything reckless. I will tell you everything...”
It turned out that...
In recent months, more and more people were missing in the US.
Kate and her colleagues had been secretly following this matter and finally found that it was a cross— border human trafficking case.
They had made a lot of preparations before getting to the root of the case.
They followed the criminal gang all the way to Texas.
Finally, they found that those missing people were all sent to a lab base and never came out.
One of Kate’s colleagues offered to take the risk and go deep into the base to investigate. But out of expectation, he was noticed by them. That was why they were hunting down by mercenaries.
This was the whole story.
Kate survived. What a narrow escape!
After hearing this, John was lost in thought.
Human experiments?
And it was a human experiment specially designed for the people of the US? it was not a trifle deal.
“Kate, could you... Tell me the address of the lab base?” John looked into Kate’s eyes.
“What are you doing?”
“I've told you not to be impulsive. Do you want to make trouble in Texas? You’re not going to do this!” Kate blurted out.
She chose to tell the gravity of the human trafficking case to John because she was afraid that he would risk his life to get revenge for her. Who could know that he was even more determined to go there after what she said!
“You are neither a reporter nor a member of the relevant department. Why do you want to go to such a dangerous place? Are you seeking death?” Her voice was firm.
Kate was strongly opposed to John’s idea.
After pondering for a while, John said, “Kate, aren't you curious about how you survived?”
Hearing this, Kate paused.She hadn't had time to think about it after she came to herself.
How could she survive when being chased by so many mercenaries?
Besides...
Where was she?
Why was John here?
Kate didn’t think too much about these questions as a feeling of resurrection from death filled her head. In addition, she had just finished talking about her investigation of kidnapping, leaving her no chance to think too much about other things.
It was not until then that she felt her survival weird.
When she was about to inquire.
Linen walked in and said, “Your Highness, when will we set off?”
Your Highness?
Kate’s body stiffened and her gaze fell on the hand of Linen.
It was a mask
A dragon—shaped mask that she felt quite familiar with.
The owner of the mask was her idol, the King of Horizon. To interview him was her lifelong pursuit.
Was it possible that...
She tried to calm herself as she was breathing quickly.
At this moment, John put on the mask, turned around and walked to the bedside, saying, “That’s my duty!”
Then he reached out his hand and rubbed Kate’s head.
“Those bastards in Texas dared to hire mercenaries to hurt you. They must pay the price! Or I shall be ashamed to say that lam your brother.”
John was the King of Horizon.
Kate looked up at John in a daze, her eyes became moist again.
She wasn’t sure if she was in a dream or not.
Her younger brother, John, was the unparalleled great hero in US: the King of Horizon!
What a coincidence!
The dream she had had at home that day wasn't utterly unreasonable.
Her dream came true!
It was like the combination of illusion and reality.
She felt... She felt her heart was filled with love and happiness!
