The minutes ticked past and the new weapons were undergoing trials. Since all of those were high-end weapons for the army, some of them couldn't be tested at the scene, and their functions and performances had to be demonstrated by a lecturer, who was none other than Daisy.
"Now, you're looking at the newly-manufactured armored vehicle with brand-new radars. It is equipped with world's leading navigation system, positioning system, electronic system and digital command system. As a result, its capabilities in navigation, positioning and filtering friendly forces from enemies have been greatly improved. It can deal with two objects at the same time both during the night and in the daytime. The digital command and control system provides the real-time data link between the vehicle and the headquarters, "
Daisy lectured on the vehicle's performance in a confident, smooth and brief manner. It turned out that she did well in the army. Edward now thought more of her. However, he didn't come over to her. On the contrary, he stood there quiet, and stared at the charming Daisy with admiration and happiness. He was really proud of her.
"Now, let's move on to a main battle tank. It can fire while it moves. This one is capable of destroying its enemies from over 4.5 miles away. It can accurately fix positions on its enemies on the battlefield and deliver dialogues at any time. Besides, it can hardly be penetrated by any shell. It's known to be the best tank you can get in the world."
Although Daisy was stared at by a massive crowd, she got really excited to lecture on the weapons,. She seemed to have forgotten everything, including herself. Only those weapons mattered to her at the moment. However, she felt a hot glance lingering on her. But she didn't dare to let herself be distracted by it and make any mistake in front of all those superiors.
Edward had never seen Daisy that way. She confidently demonstrated her rich military knowledge and spoke with fervor and assurance. Edward knew Daisy love her job. This was why, despite his worries over all the following years, he never asked Daisy to give up her sacred career as a soldier.
"Mr. Mu, Mrs. Mu is awesome. She's really good at expounding on the performance of those equipment in details." Luke rarely had any words in praise of a woman. However, at that moment, he did speak highly of Daisy.
"Of course, my wife's indeed awesome, isn't she?" said Edward cheerfully. His mouth twitched slightly and then he smiled. He just couldn't look away from Daisy who looked so brilliant and brave in her army uniform.
Hearing those words, Luke felt a little embarrassed because Edward claimed all credit for himself and became really arrogant. Edward had the audacity to take over the merit of his wife's success. 'Shame on him, ' Luke thought to himself.
"What's up? What's wrong with you?" asked Edward. Edward turned his gaze from Daisy to Luke when he heard no reply from him. Edward looked so intimidating that if he dare say anything against him, he might be a dead body.
"Nothing. You're right. I can't agree more," answered Luke. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Although he had already been accustomed to Edward's arrogance and capriciousness, Luke was still under pressure when Edward stared at him intently and threateningly.
"Now, we finally understand each other, don't we?" said Edward, sneering. Tired as he was, Edward was happy, handsome and charming. He drew the attention of the soldier who brought them in and also the others present in the room.
"Hello, Mr. Mu. When did you arrive? Why didn't anyone tell me about it?" The sound attracted attention of soldiers sitting in the quiet hall. At the moment, the Commander also noticed the presence of Edward.
"Just minutes ago. Please don't blame them for my intrusion. I asked them to not interrupt your work. That's all," explained Edward patiently and respectfully. Edward glanced at Daisy and saw her surprised look when he came over to exchange greetings with the Commander. A smile appeared on his handsome face.
Edward's sudden presence distracted Daisy's lecture for a few seconds. Then, she withdrew her gaze from Edward and looked back at the audience again. She started talking, her heart was pounding hard in her chest. 'He is back on time, with the wry smile that I missed so much. He's still the guy I'm so familiar with," thought Daisy in her mind.
