Adopted Soldier

After the incident in Cromer City the Kains had successfully escaped to the capital. Upon arrival in their mansion in the capital city Regon, the first thing they did was to quickly change the prices of the weapons they were selling. Seeing that an all out war was already underway the need for weapons would become greater. They started to increase the production of their weapons and started selling to the huge amount of newbie mercs.

In this time of crisis many young people delude themselves into becoming the heroes of a story, so many of these young ones don't go to military school, instead they would directly apply as mercenaries. These people came in waves, and the Kain family was able to get quite a huge sum from them.

Even though they lost a lot from the attack in Cromer city, the Kains had got back what was lost and made triple the amount. Now they were wealthier than ever.

...

Using their now enormous wealth that could nearly rival that of the Samaritas, Evangeline hired C ranked Mercenaries to help her train. She also scouted some newly registered mercs and veteran mercs as subordinates. Due to the current situation of the three countries, mercenaries have more use now than ever before. The payout for most mercenaries now had doubled, so most people registered to test their luck and see if they can get a fortune. While others became mercs to fight for their country. The easiest to recruit were the people who wanted money, but those that wanted to fight for their country were more loyal but harder to recruit.

Using her charms and of course her money Evangeline was able to make a small unit that consisted of Fifty D rank mercs, thirty C rank mercs, twenty B rank mercs, five A rank mercs. Also worth noting was that most of the D and C rank mercs Evangeline hired had the potential to become A or S rank mercs.

Though most of these people followed Evangeline because of money, but it was obvious that some of them have actually fallen in love with Evangeline and followed her because of that love. Of course Evangeline explained to these people that she already has someone she likes, but these people followed her regardless of whom she liked. To them as long as Evangeline and that person weren't actually together they had a chance.

Evangeline could only sigh at the reaction of these people, since she could see herself in them. The way they never gave up even though the attention of the one they like wasn't directed at them.

...

It has been a few months since Evangeline last saw Alex, and there hasn't been any news on the others from the Mercenary club except for Kei and Niel, who seems to have made a name for themselves.

Evangeline was now tired of waiting for something to happen. Seeing as most of her subordinates had ranked up in the couple of months they've been with her made Evangeline a bit more confident, but the thing that made her even more confident was her own abilities.

Right now Evangeline could already take on a B rank merc and win. Her current strength was that of the higher end of a B rank nearing A rank. Evangeline hasn't registered as a merc, but she decided to do it now, since the only people who can go to the front lines were mercenaries and soldiers.

Now that she was fully confident of her own strength Evangeline decided to make a move, and save Alex herself.

...

After registering as a merc Evangeline was quickly promoted to C rank because of her family background, the strength of her unit, and her very own strength. Once she was done registering herself as a merc, she also registered her unit as her own personal unit. Once she was done doing all that Evangeline called a meeting with her busy parents.

...

In the living room, the family of three had sat down in their chairs, once they were comfortable Evangeline spoke.

"Father, Mother, I became a mercenary today, and I wish to go to the battlefield." Evangeline said her lines without hesitation, which made her father and mother looked at her dumbfounded unable to understand what she just said. It took them a few seconds to comprehend what was just said, but once it sank in their reaction was incredible.

"What are you saying!? You became a mercenary?! Why, why would you that?!" Evangeline's mother started to panic. Evangeline's father on the other hand could only sigh. He already knew what Evangeline was planning, he just didn't know when she would implement it.

It wasn't that difficult to figure out his daughter's plans seeing as Evangeline kept on gathering mercenaries for whatever reason, and she even gave her all in training, until she became quite capable herself.

"Molly that's enough, our daughter has already made her decision." Evangeline's father tried to calm his wife down.

"What are you saying Robert, do you want to let our little girl go out there where it's dangerous! Where she could die!"

"No, of course I don't want her to go out there to die... If it were up to me, I would never allow it... But, times have change, in the world we're living in now, there is no place that is safe, not even here. I cannot guarantee our safety, nor the safety of our daughter even if she stays here. Hell the only reason we have survived back in Cromer City, is all because of Evangeline's friends... Also even if we do stop our daughter, I don't think she would listen to us."

Robert looked at his daughter with a sad smile on his face. He was sure that no matter what he said at this moment, Evangeline would do what she wanted to do. Since Evangeline was showing the same look Robert showed his parents once upon a time, when he too wanted to rebel and go out in the world. It was a journey that made him the man he is today.

Who was he to deny his daughter's own journey. The possibility of her dying out there was high, but so was the possibility of her dying in the capital as well. So wouldn't it be better to let her do what she wanted until the end. That's what Robert kept on telling himself, so he can accept what was happening before his very eyes.

"Father is right, Mother, I'm just informing you what I will do. This isn't up for debate, I will be leaving no matter what." Evangeline already found her resolve before speaking to her parents. Nothing they say will change her mind.

Molly then looked at her daughter, then at her husband. She looked at them back and forth before once again sitting down.

"Fine do whatever you want. If you want your mother to die of worry then go." Evangeline seeing her mother be that distraught simply bowed her head and left. If she stayed for a while longer she might hesitate to leave.

Seeing his daughter leaving the room, Robert said one last thing before she left. "I hope you find what you're looking for my dear daughter."

"As do I father... I'll be going now... Mother, father, I love you.." After saying that without turning around, Evangeline left the room.
