“Bro, I want to go out to hunt too…”
Milo looked at the young man walking towards favonovel.com after slowly getting off the Wolf King’s back. It felt like the words Donti had said to favonovel.com were still resonating in his ears.
In the blink of an eye, Donti had grown taller. In the past, Little Donti only reached up to his chest. But now, favonovel.com was nearly as tall as him.
Nothing had seemingly changed between the two of them. Milo could still feel the eagerness in Donti’s eyes. However, favonovel.com had on a fierce-looking faceplate and was no longer that little sidekick who followed favonovel.com around. He was now the new king of the steppe.
Milo smiled and said, “You’ve grown taller…”
Donti took off his faceplate and revealed his handsome face. “Bro, you’ve gotten a little tanner…”
With that, Donti quickened his pace and hugged Milo.
Miriam came out of favonovel.com sniping spot in the distance and put away favonovel.com black sniper rifle before walking towards them. However, favonovel.com did not interrupt the two brothers’ reunion. She understood Milo quite well, so favonovel.com clearly knew how much favonovel.com had been longing for this day to come.
When Adella saw Miriam, favonovel.com wiped favonovel.com tears with favonovel.com sleeve and went up to her. “Miriam, you haven’t changed at all. You’re still as beautiful as ever.”
At this moment, Miriam switched from favonovel.com usual intimidating self and started blushing, as though favonovel.com was embarrassed to meet the “parents”.
“Big Sister Adella, you also haven’t changed at all.”
Adella pulled Miriam aside. While taking a stroll, favonovel.com took a gold bracelet out of favonovel.com pocket and put it on for Miriam. “I knew that we would definitely find y’all when we came to the South this time, so I had Hassan specially make this gold bracelet. Consider it a gift for our long-awaited reunion.”
Now that Donti was already the lord of the steppe, they were definitely not lacking any gold. So, Adella was very generous with the gift. The heavy gold bracelet probably weighed more than 200 grams!
If they were in the Central Plains, only the rich families could afford the betrothal jewelry necessary to plan a marriage.
Adella felt that while Milo and Donti used to be poor, there were probably not a lot of people in the entire Alliance of Strongholds who could compare to their status as they progressed further in life. Therefore, they would have to make it a grand affair when Milo and Donti married and had children in the future.
They would also become an influential family in the future, and maybe people might even think they were a rich family when someone mentioned them.
In front of the sheepish Milo, Miriam would often tease favonovel.com verbally. But when facing Adella, favonovel.com acted much more reserved, like favonovel.com was afraid of leaving a bad impression on her.
The two ladies walked away, leaving Milo and Donti behind to catch up.
No one noticed that Stowe was still lying in the wilderness a distance away and muttering, “What’s the situation now? Can I come out yet?”
When Milo and Miriam teamed up to kill Black Robe, they had made favonovel.com hide here, and favonovel.com was told not to come out without Milo giving favonovel.com the word. But in the blink of an eye, everyone had forgotten about him.
At this moment, Milo checked on Black Robe’s body and gave it a few more stabs after confirming it was dead.
Honestly, this guy was such a relentless spirit. Even the nuclear bomb did not kill it, so Milo was really afraid it would suddenly get up and run away again.
Only when this devious creature was completely dead could they feel at ease.
Milo looked at Donti. “How did y’all end up on the steppe?”
The two of them found a large rock and sat down side by side on it.
Donti explained, “Back then, I saw you get pierced in the abdomen by the spear. When the flood was about to hit, the wolf pack suddenly appeared, and the Wolf King picked Big Sister Adella and me up in its jowls before heading to the North. Later on, I wanted to avenge you, but I felt that I should establish my own forces first. I thought of what you told me previously, that the people living in the grasslands were still ignorant, and it happened that my power was suited for creating ‘gods’ there.”
“Was it tough to unify the grasslands?” Milo asked.
Donti shook his head and said with a smile, “Not at all. Initially, we were supposed to be in for a tough battle, but we got quite lucky. The Pyro Company actually came and captured the most powerful khan in the grasslands…”
Milo did not know whether to laugh or cry. “I only went to the Sacred Mountains after hearing about this kidnapping. I didn’t expect that it was actually just a big misunderstanding!”
Donti was taken aback. “What happened?”
“The Pyro Company and Silkshade House happened to have their goals aligned and claimed that the Pyro Company had caught the No. 001 Experimental.” Milo explained, “At that time, I was under the impression that you were the No. 001 Experimental, so I went to the Sacred Mountains because I wanted to save you. But that was just an assumption anyway. Since we both can’t remember anything about the past, I hope you don’t take this matter to heart.”
But Donti suddenly fell silent. He asked in a soft voice, “Bro, have you recalled anything?”
Milo shook his head. “No, why are you suddenly asking about this?”
“It’s nothing…” Donti said with a smile, “It always feels strange to have part of my memory blank. By the way, how’d you end up becoming Fortress 178’s future commander?”
“Oh, after I was swept away by the flood, I was saved by Colton Reid, who then brought me to Fortress 178.” Milo said, “Later on, Mr. Dublin told me that favonovel.com could help me take revenge since they happened to be sending troops to attack the Ultima Consortium. Thus, I joined Fortress 178’s Razor Sharp Company and killed my way to the North. It was also in that war that Fortress 178 wiped out the Ultima Consortium. After that, I left the Northwest and went to the Central Plains to search for your whereabouts.”
“Have you found Uncle Bane and the others yet?” Donti asked.
“Yes!” Milo said with a smile, “They’re doing business in the Northwest now and it’s thriving. We’ve also found Ms. Stuart, Magnus, and the others.”
“That’s good then.” Donti nodded. “You and sister-in-law are now…”
“Hahaha!” Milo interrupted. “You’re still a kid, so don’t be asking such questions!”
The two of them fell silent. Milo immediately felt that favonovel.com might have been a little tactless. Donti was no longer a child but the new king of the steppe. Although favonovel.com was still his younger brother, Donti had grown up.
After a long while, Donti finally said, “Actually, I found out about your news a few months ago. I saw those words in the Hope Media newspaper when we attacked Stronghold 176, but I didn’t go and look for you.”
“Why?” Milo was surprised to hear that.
Donti said, “While unifying the grasslands, I killed a lot of people, and some of them were even people who I shouldn’t have killed. But in order to establish my authority, I killed all of them. Many civilians in Stronghold 176 also died because of me when I didn’t restrain my subordinates. That nearly led to a tragedy of the city being massacred. And after seeing the ‘don’t let the sorrows of our era become your sorrow as well’ in the newspaper, I felt that I might be unworthy to meet you again.”
Milo could not hold back his laughter. “Do you really think you went overboard with all that? If you knew what I did, you’d probably try to persuade me to be kinder…”
