Sirius was filled with disbelief, yet at the same time, it all felt completely justified. After all, this was Misty Hill, a place shrouded in countless secrets.
Nolan nodded, patting Sirius on the shoulder. "You and your 160 men will soon be forming the Sirius Squad. When the time comes, there will be someone specifically assigned to teach you combat techniques and strategies. Your strength will grow by leaps and bounds. But there's no rush, it won't be long before you have the chance to prove your combat skills."
Sirius' eyes lit up with excitement. He immediately saluted Nolan respectfully and said, "Mr. Greene, we pledge our lives to serve you!"
Nolan nodded again. "Go. Do what you need to do for now. There will certainly be a time for you and your squad to take action."
After Sirius left, Nolan turned to Wayne and Melody with a light smile. "Dad, Mom, if you need anything in the next few days, just let Sirius know. We'll be heading out now."
Wayne and Melody nodded but hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Nolan, don't do anything reckless. We know you're not the same as you were before, but you still need to be careful."
Nolan chuckled and nodded. "Don't worry. I'll be careful, I promise."
Nolan glanced at Megan and Jeanne and, in an indifferent voice, said, "Let's go. Time to head to Eastland to meet your so-called backer."
Without waiting for a response, he walked over to a sleek black luxury sedan and got into the back seat.
Megan's anger flared instantly at his arrogant words.
"Nolan, so what if you know it was Owen who took him? Did you not hear a word I just said? If you don't go after Owen and lie low instead, you might still have a chance to survive. But walking right into his hands? Owen won't let you off that easily. You have no idea how powerful he really is!
"And those so-called loyal subordinates of yours—they're only following you because of the Spirit of Life Serum. Ha! But now, the Spirit of Life Serum and Myth Group are under Owen's control. So, aren't you even the least bit afraid they'll turn on you?"
Nolan smirked. "Is that so? Well then, let's wait and see, shall we? Megan, this time, I'll make sure you see clearly, once and for all, who I, Nolan Greene, truly am!"
