Gillian’s gaze stayed steady as she watched Tristan thrash uselessly in his bonds.

“Still spinning lies. Think nobody knows what you really are? You tried to seduce the Grayson heir, failed, then shook him down for 200 million with his nudes. Goldspine kicked you out. so you fled here to keep conning. Pity your mate!”

Tristan bared his teeth, his handsome face shifting into a white-furred fox, his expression daring her to wriggle out of this one.

“Major Lawson, never weigh in on the half of the story you haven’t heard. Does that ring a bell?”

“I heard it with my own ears, and you’re still lying about it!”

Huh. The rabid fox had more bite than she had given him credit for. He had actually dug up

her cover story.

Gillian knew the Graysons had buried her under every kind of slander they could manufacture. Even if she eventually leaked the photo of Felix after the castration, nobody would take her word over theirs.

“Major Lawson, that’s enough!”

Sylas’ expression turned to ice. Remembering the orders George had handed him, he knew this couldn’t be allowed to spiral any further.

“Captain Sterling, let Major Lawson go. We need to cool down and reset!”

Gillian’s eyes had gone cold as polar ice, and her voice came back without a trace of warmth.

“Captain Moore! My husband stands tall as any man. If he could hear his partner being smeared like this, he wouldn’t rest in his grave.”

She turned to face the ring of beastmen around her.

Her open smile carried a quiet edge of resolve.

“Don’t do anything rash, and don’t crowd in like this. You’re all wounded. I don’t want anyone catching a stray hit.

“My psionic power can hold him a while longer. When Lieutenant Colonel Parker gets here, justice will be served!”

The golden light haloed around her, and her face shone with absolute purity. Anyone watching couldn’t help feeling whatever she felt, every joy and every sorrow.

“Still putting on the act!”

Tristan was about ready to combust.

But the soldiers around them had run out of patience. The way Gillian was carrying herself, this had stopped being about curing Tristan a long time ago.

She was running interference, throwing herself between them and trouble to keep anyone from doing something stupid.

The veterans were starting to ache for her.

How could one cleric be this generous?

“Captain Sterling, step aside. We’re ripping all six of his tails off today, one way or another. Cocky bastard.”

“Damn right. This isn’t Firefox City. One major going missing on the wasteland is nothing. Who could tell whether he died of his injuries or his own stupidity?”

Someone in the crowd dropped that line, and every face around them broke into a knowing grin.

And it wasn’t wrong either.

The wasteland sprawled too vast. Even a level 9 beastman couldn’t always survive the conditions out there.

Countless soldiers died every year, more than anyone bothered to count. If Tristan disappeared out there, the Lawson family would have to swallow it and move on.

Sylas knew this was the trap Gillian had built for Tristan. He planted himself in front of the hotheaded soldiers.

“Everyone, settle down. Tristan was brought in personally by the commander, so the commander has plans for him. Do you all want a discipline report? When Lieutenant Colonel Parker gets here, he’ll handle this himself.”

The noise in the hall dropped at once.

Sylas had been with the medical team a long time. Plenty of soldiers in the room had been treated by him personally, and they were willing to give him face.

Tristan was a fresh transfer with major rank. Black Rick had to have his reasons for bringing him in, so they hesitated too.

Move or stand down?

“Since Captain Moore says so, we’ll give him that much. But today, Tristan apologizes to Captain Sterling. Picking on a young female and smearing her name, what’s the point?”

“Right! Captain Sterling worked through the morning saving us and didn’t even stop for water. You all gave her the cold shoulder in the morning and verbal abuse at noon. What disgraceful thing haven’t you done?”

“Yeah. Have Major Lawson apologize. The minute Captain Sterling walked in, she out from every direction. That’s pathetic.”

Sylas glanced over his shoulder at Tristan. “Apologize, Tris, and this whole thing goes away!”

She wanted him to apologize to a female like this?

Tristan had never been forced to swallow this kind of humiliation in his life.

His hair lifted on its own, and snow-white fur began pushing through every inch of his skin. The black legion uniform split open at the seams.

The corner of Gillian’s mouth ticked up. Finally cracking, was he?
