Chapter 511
The others present might not know about it, but Eve knew full well that
Emmanuel was once the Wolf Warrior, commander of Northern Region’s most
elite team, and a hero who once led his people to great victories!
Emmanuel’s eyes were swimming with tears as he was overcome with
emotions. “Before Dillon died, he used to call me his brother! Now that he’s no
longer with us, I should be the one taking care of his parents in his place!”
The elderly couple teared up at his words.
They didn’t want much in life. They were simply worried that with their son
gone, they wouldn’t have anyone to send them off when their time was up.
Therefore, after hearing Emmanuel’s declaration, they felt a surge of warmth
in their hearts. They were a lot less worried now. Even though it was only their
first time meeting Emmanuel, they felt like they could depend on him!
“Dillon sacrificed his life for the country. The Northern Region had issued a
death gratuity for his family, so why are you still living in this state?” All of a
sudden, Eve asked a crucial question.
When ordinary soldiers in the Northern Region died, their families would
receive 120 thousand in the form of death gratuity. Blockhead was a member
of the Wolf Warrior Unit, so his family should’ve gotten multiple times that
amount! They wouldn’t have to live like this if they received that money, right?
Emmanuel got back on his feet. He was curious about this too.
However, Dillon’s mother Martha had a blank look on her face. “What are you
talking about? What death gratuity?”
Upon seeing the look on her face, Emmanuel and Eve exchanged glances.
The same thought occurred to both of them. They didn’t receive the death
gratuity from the Northern Region!
At last, Dillon’s father Frank hoisted himself up with the help of a log of wood
that served as his cane and cried out, “Mr. Hound and the other b*stards with
him must’ve taken the money before it got to us!”
Eve’s brow furrowed at once as she recalled what happened back then.
Although she wasn’t in charge of the Northern Region’s finances, she did
handle some of the administrative tasks. At the time, someone from finance
had asked her for the details and addresses of the families of the Wolf
Warrior Unit members.
Blockhead was one of them! Now that I think about it, I bet Blockhead’s family
doesn’t have a bank account where the money could be transferred to.
