CHAPTER 1280 MISSING DAUGHTER
Nathan and Colin walked to the rented house. It was the worst house around as it was old and shabby. The rent should be around two hundred a month.
Besides that, Nathan saw a lot of trash inside the house through the window. It seemed like a vagrant was living here!
Nathan's frown deepened. "Are you sure Instructor Ronan lives here?”
Colin answered in a tiny voice, "Yes, Sir!"
Right then, an old man who happened to pass by spotted them. He studied them carefully before asking, "Are you here to look for Ronan the Cripple?"
Ronan the Cripple?
Suddenly, Nathan recalled Instructor Ronan hurt his right leg before his retirement. He couldn't walk properly because of that injury.
Nathan nodded. "Yes. Do you know where he is now?"
The old man pointed ahead. "He is working at the supermarket as a mover these few days. Try your luck there."
Soon, Nathan and Colin arrived at the only supermarket in the ghetto. It wasn't even a supermarket, but a convenience store that was slightly bigger.
There was an old man in tattered clothes sitting at a table next to the supermarket.
He had a plate of mac and cheese and a bottle of cheap liquor on the table with some snacks on the side. It was obvious he was going to eat his lunch after working hard.
However, he was holding the bottle of liquor in his hand as he stared at a little girl playing not far away.
Then, a bitter smile appeared on his face.
Right then, someone spoke to him. "I heard that if someone smiles without reason, he might either be too bored or too miserable."
The old man raised his head at those words.
He saw a tall man whose eyes twinkled like stars with a well-built subordinate by his side.
That man was Nathan.
The old man's eyes grew wide. His initial expression of shock turned to excitement. "Y-You're Nathan Cross!"
Nathan straightened his back and saluted him respectfully. "Nathan Cross, new recruit! Reporting for duty, Sir!"
The old man in tattered clothes was none other than Nathan's teacher, Ronan.
He grabbed Nathan's hand as his voice trembled. "Nathan Cross, it's really you!"
Nathan held Ronan's hand and asked, "Sir, I've sent my men to look for you but to no avail. What happened to you?"
Ronan let out a long sigh.
Smiling bitterly, he answered, "I've been traveling across different cities and had roamed the streets for a few years. You couldn't find me as I was homeless."
Nathan said, "But fate has brought us together again, Sir."
He helped Ronan to his seat before asking what had happened to him. Material © of .
It turned out that Ronan's daughter went to an entertainment company to be a trainee but lost contact with him after that.
At the same time, his wife also fell terribly sick.
Hence, Ronan sold everything under his name and brought his wife to visit many doctors. They also traveled across the country to locate their missing daughter.
However, it was almost impossible to find their missing daughter.
As his wife's health deteriorated, Ronan spent a lot of money on her and ended up spending all of his savings. In the end, he had no choice but to move into the cheapest house in the ghetto while working to earn money to pay the medical bills as his wife was still in the hospital.
Actually, since Ronan hadn't paid the medical bills for a while, the hospital had already stopped treating his wife. He was utterly lost and miserable right now.
Nathan's voice lowered as he stared at his teacher who seemed much older than his age, "Sir, don't worry. I'll help you with your wife's illness and find your daughter."
Ronan didn't know Nathan was now the General, but he trusted his student. He was about to thank Nathan gratefully when an arrogant voice rang out.
"Damn it, old thing. Why are you still here?"
Nathan raised his head and saw a well-dressed man flanked by his entourage. They gazed at Ronan nastily.
