She heard that Michael had ten great experts around him, and each of them had their own extraordinary ability. Sophia had only met Hale and Gary before, but Hale always mentioned Gemma. He said that Gemma was a psychopath, but he wouldn’t say in what way she behaved that made her seem like one.
However, Gemma seemed like a cute Lolita girl to her—there wasn’t anything psychotic about her at all! Since she was on Michael’s side and couldn’t possibly hurt Nathan, Sophia was relieved and allowed her to live here with them.
Ever since Gemma arrived, the average fighting strength of Company 49 had increased exponentially. She was the fastest runner, had the biggest appetite, and could eat a lot. Besides, she was smart and pretty good at socializing.
Gemma appeared very professional and charming, and her presence made Sophia feel threatened. She was worried that Gemma might replace her as the leader of Company 49.
As soon as Nathan came back, he went into the drill instructor’s camp immediately to find out about what they thought of Company 49. When he came back, he told everyone about the conversations between the drill instructors.
According to them, Company 49 had not been performing well lately; the team was not as fierce and strong as they used to be before this.
Upon hearing that, everyone in Company 49 became motivated immediately. After all, they were the company that was supposed to have dinner with the General!
With Nathan around, Sophia felt that military training had finally become interesting and fun again, just like how it used to be.
However, their little spy Nathan had definitely attracted too much attention to their company. When they trained every day, Nathan would run around the training base and eavesdrop on conversations between the drill instructors. Then, he would report everything back to Sophia; this was why Company 49 had been achieving exceptionally high scores and performing well.
According to the rumors floating around, there were lots of hidden and unsuspecting details in the military training where drill instructors would secretly deduct points if their cadets violated the rules. Naturally, the drill instructors did not inform the cadets about these details and were very secretive about it.
What were the hidden rules? No one knew. Since the drill instructors never mentioned anything about this at all, Nathan was the one who went around and eavesdropped to find out about these hidden rules before reporting them to the people in Company 49.
Being aware of such rules, the company managed to avoid getting their points deducted secretly and obtained high scores while training.
In other words, Nathan was like a golden goose. Many companies thought about luring Nathan into their company in order to help them achieve better scores.
Someone had investigated Nathan’s background too. Based on the information gathered, Nathan was the grandson of a university professor from a third-tier city.
Since he was extremely intelligent with a high IQ, an exception was made for him and Nathan was accepted into the Junior Class of Bayside University through some connections. Since he wasn’t from a prominent family, many people began thinking about ways to trick him…
On the eighteenth day of military training, Company Commander Ford made an exciting announcement—the cadets were going to have a training session at the shooting center tomorrow. It was an actual shooting training involving real guns and bullets.
Naturally, the shooting center was the one in Audistin.
However, everyone wasn’t particularly enthusiastic about this piece of news. After all, there were lots of wealthy students in the university; most of them were already Audistin premium members who often visited the shooting range in Audistin.
What really excited everyone was the fact that they could visit the set of ‘Doctor Invincible’ during training tomorrow! Most importantly, they were going to see Taylor and Ethan in person!
The two award-winning actors had ventured into the filming industry for over ten years now. They remained very popular in the entertainment industry for a long time and had worked together in many films before.
During the recent Cultural Revolution, the duo transitioned from golden partners to becoming a golden couple; it was rumored that both of them got married in the Netherlands. However, it wasn’t sure whether the rumor was real or not.
The two award-winning actors were seldom involved in tabloid scandals. Besides, they kept a low profile and rarely appeared in public events. There weren’t too many real photos of them on the internet; most of their photos were film posters and photographs officially published by their agency. Even for wealthy people, it was extremely difficult to see them in person.
