Hutchinson’s brow moved slightly, and a dangerous aura appeared in his eyes.
"I really can’t tell you that... uh, I’ve got something else to do, I’ll be off now."
Saying this to Hutchinson, Darion Griffin took off like the wind, quickly disappearing from sight.
Even from a distance, Darion Griffin could feel Hutchinson’s nearly scorching gaze fixed on him.
So he ran even faster.
Hutchinson watched him slip away to the stairs and then disappear completely.
He didn’t pursue him, though.
It’s just——
What on earth did Flossie Wright say to him that completely bought him over within a few minutes?
Hutchinson didn’t know exactly what was said.
But, in bits and pieces, he did come to know two things.
First, Darion Griffin seemed to have gone crazy, dragging his regiment commander to Harris Caleb’s campsite every day, insisting on asking Harris Caleb to "plead" for Flossie Wright three times a day. Later, he even added "afternoon tea" and "late-night snacks," persistently clinging to Harris Caleb.
Secondly...
Flossie Wright’s hospital room suddenly had two male soldiers guarding the door every day.
Anyone could enter, except for Hutchinson.
Even with his two-star insignia, they didn’t even blink, strictly adhering to the rule that he was not allowed in.
Hutchinson initially wanted to contact Darion Griffin, but Darion stayed around Harris Caleb’s campsite daily, never accepting his calls under the pretense that his "phone is off."
It was evidently an attempt to avoid him.
Four days later.
The desert survival training concluded smoothly.
Besides Flossie Wright, three male soldiers and two female soldiers chose to quit.
That night.
Harris Caleb had just shaken off Darion Griffin, who was there to "bring a snack," and as soon as he stepped out of the tent, he saw several people lined up outside.
Rowdy Brightwill, Vincent Field, Chloe Bell, Devina Millet.
The four stood together, shoulder to shoulder.
"Hello, Instructor!"
Seeing him, they shouted in unison.
Raising an eyebrow, Harris Caleb’s expression turned stern, giving them a cold and sweeping glance.
His tone was cold and direct, not giving them a chance to speak.
The four shouted again in unison.
Their expressions were determined and firm, as if they wouldn’t give up until reaching their goal.
Harris Caleb stood with hands behind his back and coldly interrupted their next words, "Five points off for all of you!"
Instantly, the eyes of the four blazed with fiery anger.
They couldn’t even speak before being deducted points?!
This guy...
Is he even more unreasonable than Hutchinson?!
Vincent Field, Chloe Bell, and Devina Millet hesitated under the pressure of losing points.
If they had enough points, they might endure it with gritted teeth, but the fact was, they really didn’t have many points left.
If Harris Caleb kept deducting like this, they could be sent packing tonight.
"Report, Instructor! I have something to say!"
Rowdy Brightwill stood rigidly upright, raising his voice several notches to shout at Hutchinson.
"Not interested in listening."
Shooting him a cold glance, Harris Caleb blocked his attempt to speak again.
Rowdy Brightwill widened his beautiful peach blossom eyes, filled with rage.
What the hell!
Points docked for nothing, and not even allowed to speak?!
"Vice-Captain! Vice-Captain!" Willie Ash, who acted as an errand-runner, suddenly rushed over, averting the crisis of Rowdy Brightwill being docked again, while panting as he shouted at Harris Caleb, "Something’s happened!"
