Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1259

"Ambitious!" This was the only evaluation of Maggie that Daniel gave. "At times when it seems like she's going to give up, the moment she hears someone say that she can't do something, something comes over her and she becomes a different person capable of struggling through any hardship." As he spoke, he laughed, "Alas, what a pity! If she were male, I'd be bound to let her become a member of the Falcon Commando by all means. I have to admit she has potential."

"Does a bullet have gender?"

Daniel was stunned by this strange question and said, "No. But it's a lot harder for a woman to make it in the military than a man."

Suddenly Daniel froze and stared at Edgar with wide-eyes. "Sir, do you mean..."

"I do not mean anything. We can not force her to make her decisions, but... If she would like to try, that would be a completely different matter,"

Edgar uttered these ambiguous words carefully.

Maggie was the only daughter of William. Although there was a plan to organize a women's commando, he did not believe that her father would ever allow her to join the commando. Granted that her father had given the green light, her mother, also a senior military officer, would certainly not permitted it.

"How are the preparations for the practise drill against Dragon Island going?"

Edgar asked again.

"No problems." Daniel replied confidently, "I've been thinking about how we could improve our training regime. Fortunately, ever since my brother-in-law came here, Cathy has managed to steal a lot of ideas from him."

"But never underestimate that man." Edgar took a sip from his tea cup. "I have dealt with Eric many times before, and there is always more than meets the eye with him."

Daniel could not agree more. Owing to the good relation he had with his sister, Molly, Daniel had contacted the members of the military base on the Dragon Island. He found out about the Dragon Island from his brother-in-law and he knew that the Dragon Island had enjoyed such a swift development, not by accident.

They chatted about the coming drill with the Dragon Island next month, oblivious to the passage of time. When they noticed that it was time to have dinner, they stood up and walked toward the dining hall. On the way, they continued the topic which they were just discussing.

Just as they were leaving the office, a soldier ran to them from the end of the corridor.

Edgar knitted his eyebrows slightly and Daniel also looked upset. No matter what happened to the troops, everyone in the camp had to comply with military discipline. But this soldier ran fast and openly disobeyed the discipline structures. It must have been urgent.

"Report!" Standing in front of them, gasping for breath, the soldier could not wait for Edgar's words and hurriedly informed, "There was an explosion in the lab, Sir. Miss Maggie remained inside."

The soldier had not yet finished speaking, when Edgar set off. Without wasting any more time, Daniel gave the soldier new orders. "Notify the commando and prepare for a rescue operation!"
