Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1284

Jake was a person who loved to gossip. "Maggie, you and the Captain..." Before he had finished the sentence, he was pulled hard by Garth.

"Shut your mouth, if you don't want to die." Garth, being a detail attentive type of person, had noticed that there was something between Edgar and Maggie. Whether this had begun during the mission that they carried out together, or it was because the senior military officer had instructed her to take care of Edgar when he was injured, was a mystery. Even though it sounded a bit awkward...

Jake stopped saying anything more because Edgar had briefly scanned in his direction. Even though it was only one glance, they were afraid of continuing along those lines of discussion.

After the meeting, they held a party to boost everyone's spirits. There was no beer, but every table had four more dishes added. Taking cold drinks instead of beer, Edgar made a toast to the entire brigade, which heightened every soldier's morale.

Maggie was sitting with the other student soldiers. Gazing at the manly face of Edgar, she couldn't help licking her lips. All the soldiers started to cheer, and naturally she was also affected by the high spirits of the brigade. Seeing the spirited faces around her, she couldn't help thinking, 'How many loyal followers can one man summon? Perhaps, Edgar is the best to answer that. In the Eagle Special Brigade, he is the undeniable leader; the legend; the God, even... The God of war!'

"Alas, I can only wait in the director department and watch the show," Jake grumbled. "Why did I even need to attend this meeting? It's like showing you some desirable sweets but then forbidding you from eating them."

"Absolutely," Edith said, agreeing with Jake. Unlike Jake, who was eager to experience a real war, Edith simply wanted to join to have fun.

Garth, however, casually said, "I don't want to have such a chance to experience it in my life." When everyone turned to him curiously, he sighed, "War is a merciless thing. You don't understand."

"Oh please!" Jake and Edith rolled their eyes, ridiculing what Garth had said. "Don't act like you are really experienced. You sound like you have already been through wars."

Garth didn't intend to explain further and just shrugged quietly.

Among them, the only one who had been on a live mission was Maggie. In a dangerous situation, life was preciously fragile. Anyone could die at any second. It was not a game. When one died, that person would never be resurrected.

"I agree with what Garth said," Maggie suddenly quipped. Her face was doleful and her eyes had narrowed with self-reflection. By accident, she happened to know some things about Edgar's past. She knew that when Edgar was the Sharp Blade Commando's captain, a first sergeant, who was planning to retire, had died for him.

'At the moment that he saw his brother die in front of him, he might have felt such pain that he didn't even realize it was called pain, ' she thought sadly.
