Chapter 1209 A Mission For My Darling
Suddenly, he noticed a difference.
“Medal of Peace?”
“That’s right, Mr. Hayes. This is the Medal of Peace. It is the highest award bestowed by the United Nations to all the anti-terrorism heroes,” Karl uttered with a trembling voice.
There was only silence in the corridor. It was as if all sounds had disappeared at that moment, including the howling of the wind.
The only thing that could be heard was their heartbeats.
In the end, Sebastian held on to that medal tightly and walked into his room.
He had that medal on his chest for the entire night and fell asleep with it. Next to him was Sasha.
In the subsequent days, the old man sensed a change in Sebastian.
He longer pestered him with questions. Even the frustration in his eyes had calmed down substantially. All he did was play chess with him. Even if they did chat, it was about some mundane topics.
This is odd.
The old monk started to worry.
“Mr. Hayes, you seem very calm these few days.”
“Yes,” responded Sebastian as he lifted his cup of tea.
“Isn’t this what you’ve hoped for me? You told me that I needed to still my mind. I’m a little hostile, and the peaceful aura of this temple is needed to calm my urge to kill.”
For a long while, the old monk did not speak.
Nonetheless, he was quite pleased with the current state of events. Hence, immediately after their chess session, he left.
Once he got back to his room, a junior monk came and asked, “Master, that person has come to fetch you again. He wants me to ask you if you can leave yet.”
“Got it.”
The old monk got up, and he left the temple soon after.
As the days went by, the snow on the mountaintop started to melt away. The trees and grass began to flourish. Even the birds on the huge maple tree outside the temple entrance started chirping again.
Sebastian did not leave the temple, but he was well aware of the situation outside.
Louis had finally revealed himself.
Since Sebastian’s move, Louis had no choice but to disclose his identity and move back into the White House even though Silas was still in power.
However, the moment Louis got into the White House, Silas basically lost his power.
Louis was in full control.
Furthermore, because the well-known Aquene Temple had held several prayer sessions at the White House, the citizens who hated Louis started to mellow down in the end.
As such, it was a huge win for Louis.
