It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 522

"Well. Now fall in! Ten hut! Dress right! Eyes front!" Even if she tried her best to be cool, it was really hard to change her feminine nature that she was born with. No wonder there still was a sweet girlish tone in her pretended indifference when she shouted commands. But, as a matter of fact, nothing could cover up the dignity of the blood that flowed through her veins.

This was another side of Daisy that Edward saw for the first time. She was completely different from the charming and soft woman in his arms. She was always abashed by his teasing when they were alone, but now she was so cold with a majestic and solemn face. Yes, she looked very regal. But there was something wrong. She looked so strange and completely unfamiliar to him. Edward was puzzled by this, thinking, 'Oh, my god, what kind of person is she really? How many faces does she have and which is the real Daisy?' Too many questions came to his mind. Just a few minutes ago, Edward still felt quite confident that he knew Daisy well. But now, he was aware of a brutal truth that he knew her so little and he had never gotten a deep understanding of the real Daisy.

"All you men seem to have a problem. And you're getting cabin fever. All energetic and nothing to do! Then I would like to do you a favor. I could give you something to do, to help release your pent up energy. I'm guessing you wouldn't mind, right?" Daisy took a look at all the officers and men. Hearing her words, all the soldiers around her got goose bumps right away. But no one voiced a complaint. Even though everyone disagreed, they still held it in and stayed silent. Because everybody knew that she wasn't named "Devil Drillmaster" for nothing. They would have it coming if they dared to come out against her.

"No Ma'am!" they said in unison. There were half of the soldiers under the direct administration of Hank, but Daisy was of a higher rank than him. So they had to completely obey her orders, without any objection.

"All right, now listen to my orders carefully." She barked them out in succession, giving them time to do as she commanded. "All of you, ten hut! Right dress! Eyes front! Five-mile cross country run! Now! Go go go!" Uh-huh, it seemed that they had a lot of excess energy. Okay. Then she wondered whether they would spare the extra energy to start fights when they were completely exhausted.

My God! Five-mile cross country run! The soldiers were completely stunned when they heard the order. 'What a cruel woman Colonel Ouyang is!' thought each and every one. They were just physically consumed. Instead of giving a break, they were ordered to run five-mile cross country right away. Obviously, what she wanted was just to tire them out on the way. They wondered how such a beautiful woman could be so cruel to them. No matter how they felt, military orders were imperative and could not be disobeyed. They had to run as fast as they could. Luckily, they were not ordered to finish the five-mile cross country run with full equipment. Otherwise they would get tired to death.

"Mark, so that is who your Colonel really is! Shouldn't they go to the clinic for medical treatment immediately when they are hurt? How could she know for sure that they could finish the five-mile cross country run?" 'She is so callous. Oh, thank God I am not one of her soldiers. It is so awful to be under her command. Yeah, I have to be more careful from now on. I know she likes me now, but maybe some day, she will do the same to me.' Merely thinking about the cruel treatment he might suffer, Edward broke out into a cold sweat. 'That would not be good, ' he thought.
