Cecil suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh, Monique, do you think that Young Master Brown would have the similar thoughts as us?"
"In the old days, the old master Brown, Bache Brown, was an incredible military man. He was the one who established the Chatterton Town Army. Soon after, under his leadership, the Chatterton Town Army became one of the leading armies within the country. After he passed on, Colonel Brown took over the duties of leading the Chatterton Town Army. Although him being Bache's son played a big role in having the leadership duties passed to him, it was also because he had the right skill set to lead the Chatterton Town Army. Among the candidates short- listed to become the new leader, Colonel Brown’s capability had always been in lead," Monique said.
Cecil asked in confusion, "I know that Bache and Colonel Brown are both very capable people, but I’m asking about Young Master Brown. It’ s true that he came from an influential background but do you think that he would be able to take over the leadership of the Chatterton Town Army with his own capability in the future?"
Monique replied with a straight face, "You'd better not look down on Young Master Brown. It seems that he doesn't take anything seriously but once he does, he's pretty incredible. For instance, remember when we first joined the Red Eagle team together? His test scores were always miles ahead of all the other candidates'."
Cecil laughed and said, "Well, it seems you're quite the admirer of our Young Master Brown."
Monique replied, "Although he doesn’t have that great of a personality, and he's lazy and perverted, but he's quite capable."
"Turns out I'm not all that useless in Miss Zellweger's eyes after all." Levi's voice suddenly sounded across the room. Shocked to hear his voice, Monique and Cecil turned around to look at the same time. "Young Master Brown, this is the female dorm. Haven't you heard of knocking before entering?
Levi did not care if this was the female dormitory. He walked in and sat on Monique's bed and said, "I never saw you guys as women. Perhaps, you don't even see yourselves as women either. So, does it matter if this is the female dorm?"
Monique hurriedly stepped away from him and asked with a cold, "What can we do for you?"
Levi replied, "I had some free time, so I just came to chat with you guys."
Monique jeered, "Young Master Brown has free time to come chat with us? Do you believe that, Cecil?"
Cecil looked at Levi and said, "Young Master Brown, it's not that I have anything against you, but what you said just isn’t believable."
Levi waved his hand and replied, "I knew you guys wouldn't fall for it. I came to look for you two under my superior's instructions."
Monique and Cecil could hardly believe what they had just heard.
Levi added, "I'm serious. Pack up and follow me to the commander's office to see him."
Cecil asked, "He really wants to see us?"
Levi said, "Pack quickly, he only gave us 10 minutes."
They glared at him then quickly jumped up and started packing. "Thecommander only gave us ten minutes to pack? Why didn't you tell us that earlier, Levi?"
"I heard you guys talking about me earlier, so I didn't want to interrupt. I stood by the door for about two minutes," Levi said as he giggled. "You only have three minutes left to get to Commander
Black's office. If you're late, be prepared for punishments," informed Levi as he looked at the watch on his wrist.
Monique said, "You son of a b*tch, Levi."
He remained unbothered as he turned around and left.
Cecil said, "And to think that we had just been complimenting him earlier. Now, I just want to cut him up into pieces."
Monique said, "Stop it. Let's go."
Monique and Cecil both rushed over to the commander's office as quickly as they could and made it on time. When they arrived, they saw Levi and Ronald both standing in Jasper's office. The two looked over to Monique and Cecil, clearly gloating with their eyes. Monique felt like murdering them.
The commander, Jasper said, "Levi Brown, Ronald Jenkins, Monique Zellweger, and Cecil Hiller, listen up." All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
They immediately got in formation and stood straight, quietly waiting for Jasper to issue an order.
Jasper looked at them one by one and said, "The four of you are the best recruits on the new team, so I'm dispatching you four for this mission."
"Yes." The four answered in unison.
"But first, I have to be frank about the ugly truth - if the mission is a success, all four of you will be awarded. But if you fail the mission, then I'm sorry because there won't be a place for you on the Red Eagle team anymore as the team is only for the best of the best," Jasper continued.
"Yes." The four answered in unison again, their voices even firmer and more determined.
Even when they had no knowledge of the mission they are getting themselves into, a solder should always be ready to fight on and never give up. They should also be confident about completing their mission.
"The training this time is mainly to survive on a deserted island. You'd have to retrieve four treasure boxes without being given any food supply. If you complete the task within a month and are still alive at the end of it, then your mission is a success. On the other hand, if you don't survive the month, we will dispatch someone over to the island next month for your body retrieval," Jasper explained. He took out four sets of army contracts and place them in front of the four. "You may all take a look. You still have the option to withdraw from this mission before signing your contract, but once you've signed it, there won’t be any room for regret."
Even though their futures were uncertain, the four of them did not hesitate. Once again, they replied in unison, "Yes."
Jasper nodded. "Very well. I'll arrange for someone to send you there."
The four men said again, "Yes."
The four of them were then quickly taken away. As they left, the lieutenant commander, Tobias said, "Sir, the Colonel really doesn't care much for his son, does he? If people didn' t know the truth, they might even think that he's not his real son. The four of them hadn't truly been through any hardships at home, so they might not be able to make it out alive."
Jasper replied, "This is exactly why the Colonel is doing this, because these kids had not been through any hardships. Think about it, what is our army training for? So that we're able to protect our citizens and country from foreign attacks. As the army, we should always be ready for any challenges. We don't know when we would be at war, but when we do, we'd have to suffer and go through hardships much worse than our training. Accidents could also happen at anytime. If these bunch can't handle some adversity, how could they be ready for war in the future?"
After listening to Jasper's words, Tobias nodded in understanding, "It seems that our Colonel does not dislike his son but instead, loves him to death. As the heir to the Chatterton Town Army, the citizens would not follow his leadership if he didn't have adequate capabilities. I too, look forward to the return of the new Levi Brown."
