Triumph Above All Novel

Chapter 54

The two people who were awake, because they were afraid of waking up Lola, who had just fallen asleep, kept their original positions and did not dare to move.

The two were so close that they could even feel each other’s breathing.

Skylar wanted to say something but couldn’t find a topic.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

After a moment of silence, Yulia couldn’t help but say, “The wounds on your body… Are they caused in the army?”

Skylar looked down and realized that, to match Lola, the blanket on him had slipped down to his waist, leaving half his body exposed.

At the moment, under the warm yellow light, there were several deep scars on his body, exuding a hideous beauty.

Skylar nodded and smiled. “Well, where else do you think I got those medals? Of course, there are others having more scars than me, and they will never have the chance to see their medals again.”

At the end of the day, Skylar suddenly felt a little sad.

Yulia was stunned and said, “Why do you make it sound like you’re going to war? In times of peace, isn’t it just a drill at most?”

“Drill?”

Skylar shook his head, and his gaze became deep.

“What everyone sees is the peace and prosperity within the gates of the country, but there is a group of people who are always guarding the dangerous areas outside the frontier. Every time they raise their guns, it’s not for a drill. And the enemy, too, will never give them a chance to do it all over again.”

For a moment, Yulia was too shocked to speak.

Despite Skylar’s euphemism, she understood.

For the sake of this prosperous world, some people, had been carrying the weight of the country, even at the expense of their own lives.

So, Skylar, was once one of them? NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Before she could ask, Skylar, as if reading her mind, smiled and said, “I’m just saying a few words. Don’t think too much, and I’m fine now, aren’t I?”

“Yes.”

Yulia nodded and asked no more questions.

The two said good night to each other and fell asleep soon.

The next day.

Skylar and Yulia took Lola to school together. Then, Skylar took Yulia’s car to Kareem Fashion.

Waiting for Yulia to go upstairs, Skylar then got into the jeep around the corner.

“Boss, I heard that Philbert Santiago has come to Cloudtopia.”

Dianne in the driver’s seat spoke.

Philbert Santiago?

Skylar’s heart moved, and a figure came to mind.

Philbert, one of the famous generals, was given a gold plaque with the words “Major General” by Deputy General.

In fact, based on strength alone, Philbert was not worthy of such an honor.

But he had an illustrious origin and was one of descendants of The Eight Banners. He was under the Santiago Banner.

Therefore, some people in the local community had spread the news about how powerful Philbert

was.

However, Skylar never cared about that.

Moreover, Cloudtopia was not in the North, and as long as Philbert did not mess with Skylar, he was none of Skylar’s business.

“Boss, where do you want to go?”

When Skylar didn’t say anything, Dianne asked again.

Skylar replied, “Where is Peach Blossom Stream?”

“It’s a private vacation lodge, about forty miles from here.”

“That’s fine. Let’s go there!”

One hour later.

Skylar walked into the Peach Blossom Stream.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, Skylar could feel the warm atmosphere

inside.

A group of people with somehow familiar faces, sitting around.

In the main seat sat a man wearing a white suit and gold-rimmed glasses.

He was the sports member of their class at that time, Greg Kirk.
