Chapter Forty-Four: A Person's Name Reflects Their Character

  "Brother Franster!" Reyn rushed forward excitedly, the soldiers quickly parted to make way for him, their puzzled eyes fixed on Reyn as they all broke out in a cold sweat.

  "Ran!" Fran also stepped forward quickly, tightly grasping Ran's hands, with eyes full of admiring gaze.

  Through conversation with Fran, Lain learned that he was actually the highest commander in this temporary military camp. As a border guard general, he was stationed here, leaving Lain speechless. He then called out to his troops to set up camp here.

  The items in Rains temporary resting tent were all personally arranged by Franster, who would have thought that after so many years, Franster still cared about him so much, showing the depth of their brotherly love.

  "When they were left alone in the tent, Rain said gratefully: 'Thank you, thank you, Brother Franster!'"

  "Haha, Lain, you're still like when you were a kid. Now that you've grown up, don't be crying anymore!" Franster laughed.

  "Haha, I'm excited, and accidentally got a fly in my eye, so..." Reyn explained, rubbing his red eyes.

  "Renn, what took you so long to get back?" Franzt suddenly asked.

  "Alas, it's hard to put into words! When..." Reynard let out a long sigh and recounted the whole story from start to finish to Franster.

  "What?" Frankster was extremely surprised, suddenly stood up, his whole body trembling with anger, clenching his fists, and slammed his right fist heavily on the table.

  "Somat big brother, you're too..." He continued to say angrily.

  "Franz, brother, I and Julia sister had an engagement, but that was a childhood thing. Now my identity is the descendant of the rebel army, and also the lifelong soldier of the empire. In this way, it's better for her..." Rayn explained, although he hated Somart in his heart, he didn't want to stir up trouble between Franz and his big brother.

  "Ran, the current Somat is not the kind and gentle big brother from before. He has changed, become especially cold-blooded. Do you know? Last night, over a thousand strong thieves brought by Luo Fengshan are all locked up in the dungeons here. If you came at that time and couldn't find Leya, the daughter of the thief leader, they would have been executed. At that time, I was puzzled, why didn't you come back together, but instead went to such great lengths? It turns out it's like this... humph! I'll go settle accounts with him now, he's too cold-blooded, too ruthless, too..." Franz said angrily before leaving.

  "Franst, brother, isn't it fine now? Yulia has already misunderstood me, and Leila devoted herself to me for the sake of over a thousand bandits. I admire her, so please don't..." Reyn hastily stopped Franst.

  Just then, a quarrelsome voice came from outside, accompanied by Leila's icy voice, and both he and Franst were stunned.

  With a "bang", the door was kicked open, and Layla, wearing a black long gown, stormed in with an air of fury, plopped herself down on the bedside with a swagger, as if she had entered her own room, and immediately began to prepare to take off her gown, ignoring the presence of Rain and Franster.

  "Goodbye, Ren brothers!" Franster didn't dare to stay any longer, and after bidding farewell, he hastily departed, shaking his head and sighing repeatedly.

  "Franst! Franst......" Reyn shouted loudly as he was about to chase after him.

  "Ran, can we talk?" At this time, Leila's voice was no longer cold and icy, but had a hint of warmth, as if there was also a bit of shyness.

  Lain stopped in his tracks and slowly turned around, only to find Leila adjusting her black robe, gazing at him with a deep affection.

  "Ah!" Ryan nodded, walked to the chair beside the bed, and sat down. Facing Leila's fiery gaze, his expression seemed somewhat unnatural. He then coughed a few times, covering up the unease in his heart.

  "Laiya, what do you want to talk about?" Half a day later, Lain found that she had been speechless all along, only sizing him up and down. The room was extremely quiet, even the sound of their heartbeats could be heard. Lain broke the silence, asking somewhat impatiently.

  "Ran, I'm already your woman, how do you plan to arrange me? As a slave or a maid, or..." Leya gazed at him intently and asked straightforwardly.

  Her words really stumped Lain, he didn't know how to respond. He lowered his head in contemplation, maintaining silence, his right hand slightly curled up, gently rubbing his forehead.

  "Are you dumb? Speak up!" Leya said with a huff, her tone also starting to become heavier, as if she had forgotten her own identity.

  "I... I have nothing to say." Lain was also extremely indignant, because of her, he had already hurt the hearts of two women, and now he was at a loss for what to do. He abruptly stood up, his anger surging, and stormed out.

  With a "bang", the excited Leila calmed down, her tears flowed uncontrollably, and she burst into sobs.

  "Somat, I'll settle with you sooner or later! Hmph!" Outside the camp tent, Rain clenched his fist and seethed in anger.

  Lades and Xiao Pang waited outside for a long time. When they saw Lain coming out, they happily went up to greet him.

  "Captain, you see our situation, are you... " Rades chuckled, but when he saw Rain's gloomy expression, he was so scared that he didn't dare to continue speaking.

  "Oh, Ladds, little fatty, I've already talked to Franster about you two, don't worry! He's my best buddy! Haha!" Reyn's face turned from gloomy to sunny, and he regained his smile.

  "Thank you! Thank you, Captain!" Rades and Xiao Pang exclaimed in gratitude, hugging each other excitedly as they celebrated the fact that they no longer had to live a life of fugitives.

  "By the way, little fatty, what's your name?" Lain asked with a smile, the unpleasantness from earlier already forgotten.

  "Report, Captain. My name is Delano... Gil... ya, but I still prefer it if you call me Little Fatty. It's all Ladres' fault, if you hadn't asked, I would have even forgotten my own name." Little Fatty said with some stuttering, then glared at Ladres and rubbed his head, hehe, smiling foolishly.

  "Drano, Gil Ya, little fatty, haha, okay, little fatty is not bad either, the name matches the person, the person matches the name, it's very fitting, haha!" Lain laughed happily.

  "Captain!" Just then, Rus and Dakota came rushing over, looking frantic. Rus was waving his hand wildly and shouting loudly.

  "Huh? Has another emergency occurred?" Lain said with a puzzled expression, quickening his pace and walking towards him.
