Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1362

But Edgar was not satisfied with Cain's response. He narrowed his eyes at somewhere near where he thought that the instructor was hiding. In these past few days, he'd learned something about Cain, and he wanted to use it to his advantage. Although this man acted as if he was kind and tender-hearted, he could always learn of others' weakness. He'd spent a long time studying psychology that the ability was almost like a superpower to him. It was unreal. Cain knew all of the students well, and he also knew Claire and Edgar well. He undoubtedly discovered everyone's weaknesses.

A sophisticated mind reader like him would be a dangerous threat if he were on the enemy's side. Thankfully, he seemed to stand on their side. On their side, he would be an excellent trainer or military counselor for the army.

Without saying a word, Edgar took several steps forward in the darkness of the forest. Due to his outstanding training at night and in darkness, he could easily find Cain. Now, he stood in a short distance from Cain.

"Positioning your target by sound. Very impressive." Cain looked over at him with profuse admiration. "Particularly in such a dark and complicated forest at midnight. It seems to be a piece of cake for you. You deserve legendary fame in Eagle Special Brigade. Very remarkable."

"I never think a woman belongs to a man forever," Edgar said, completely ignoring Cain's high praises. He didn't much care of what his coworker had to say about his abilities. After a pause, he continued, "If the man ends up with a girl, he must have earned her heart." He paused again, and the look in his eyes became deeper, as if he were lost in a lake of thought. "I don't mind that some other man might try and flirt with her, talk to her, and attempt at having a relationship with her. Of course, he might fail. But..." He paused again, taking two more steps forward. Now there was no distance between himself and Cain. "I never allow anyone to hurt her," he finished, his voice like a feral animal's and full of threat and powerful might.

Cain simply gave him a light, tender smile, which was so gentle that almost made Edgar forget what he had done. "You and Maggie have made the same mistake," he told Edgar in a nonchalant voice. He paused in order to emphasize his words. "It's not right for you to have a wrong impression of me. That will only distort your judgment on how you see me." Then he leaned off the tree trunk and straightened, brushing the dirt off of his clothes. He was acting as if nothing happened at all."Well, I was planning to arrange a demanding and arduous training today. But since you've promised to her not to do that, I should probably save your face. Okay. Such laborious training will be cancelled today. Let's give them some time to relax." Then Cain smiled. "Instructor Edgar, let us go back. It's late."

Edgar was about to say something but then nodded and followed Cain back to the instructors' dormitory. They walked in silence; only the sounds of their footsteps could be heard. Both men had a light smile. Neither of them had won their argument, but in a way, they felt like it didn't matter. Edgar, however, was still confused about Cain.

It felt like Cain was very mysterious, and that he wore layer upon layer of secrets. He had no idea what kind of person Cain was, nor did he know anything about his background.

Silence also consumed the rest of the night for Maggie. When she returned to her dormitory, she headed straight to bed, but she did not sleep well. After the exhausting physical training which lasted almost a month, everyone was tired and fell asleep as soon as their heads hit their pillows, and for the most part, they couldn't be woken up, even during emergencies. Tonight was extremely agog for her. She had an unforgettable experience with Edgar; what happened between them played in her mind over and over again as she held on to the feeling of Edgar in her heart. Besides, she had to make sure she would be ready if something happened suddenly.

So everyone but Maggie had a good sleep that night. Maggie was in constant tossing and turning.

In his room, Edgar was on the phone with William, his superior. "When did Cain's profile become top classified?"
