When the camera turned to Natalie, she stayed calm and composed, just gave a slight nod. “Commander Hale.

Luca was taken aback for a moment when he saw Natalie, then his face broke into a smile. “Natalie, kiddo! What brings here?”

Before Natalie could say anything, he suddenly remembered. “Oh, my memory! You should be at Redvale University r

As soon as he said that, Colonel Carson and the principal were totally stunned.

They never expected Luca to know Natalie. Especially Colonel Carson, who was now sweating bullets.

Forget everything else, just seeing how Luca spoke to her so gently, he’d never seen him act like that with anyone else.

so

So Natalie and Madison really did know each other before. That meant there was no way she had secretly added his WhatsApp during military training.

Natalie gave a nod in response to Luca.

After thinking about what everyone said and what Madison mentioned, Luca frowned. “Natalie, is there something you ne to help with?”

Natalie nodded. “It’s nothing major, sorry for bothering you.”

Hey, don’t mention it. Whatever you need, it’s my business too,” Luca said.

Natalie gave a faint smile. “Madison is the chief instructor for military training. I bumped into him yesterday and added ›n WhatsApp, but then rumors started that I secretly added the instructor on WhatsApp.

We’re trying to sort it out now, but Colonel Carson doesn’t believe I’m actually the chief instructor of the training e called you to trouble you about it.”

Seriously, it was mind–blowing!

“S–she did,” Colonel Carson stammered, his voice dry and shaky.

“Natalie said right from the beginning that she and Major Hale already knew each other. It was me.. I just didn’t buy it

Luca’s face grew even darker, his mouth set in a hard line. Even through the screen, his commanding presence sent a c down everyone’s spine.

‘She said it, you didn’t buy it. She gave you evidence, you still didn’t buy it,” Luca sard, his voice calm but icy

‘Austin Carson, are you trying to solve the issue, or just silence the one who brought it up?”

Colonel Carson wobbled, like he’d just been hit square in the chest.

He bowed his head even further, his face pale as a sheet, his lips quivering several times, but he couldn’t get a single wo

The office was so quiet, you could hear the AC humming in the background.

The principal held his coffee cup but didn’t take a single sip. His eyes were wide, and he was practically trying to melt i he couch, wishing he could just disappear.

What the hell is going on?‘ he thought.

Natalie is actually the chief instructor of the infamous Hell Boot Camp? And her identity is even classified?

Oh my god! Did I really just hear that?‘ he was freaking out inside.

Luca looked at Colonel Carson, sighed, and though his tone was a bit gentler, every word still hit like a hammer

Austin Carson, how old are you now? Over fifty, right? How long have you been sitting in this seat? Ever stop to think You haven’t moved up all these years?” Luca asked.

Colonel Carson’s face turned bright red, and he didn’t dare uter a single word.

Because you only care about appearances. When something goes wrong, all you do is look for a scapegoat. L’un a wand

Chapter 181 –

This mind was buzzing, like ten thousand bees were crashing around inside his skull

He wanted to say something, but his throat was so tight, not a single word could squeeze out

His legs were trembling, his hands were trembling, even his lips wouldn’t stop shaking

Natalie lounged on the couch, her expression completely unchanged, as if Luca’s words were just an insignibrant ma her.

She didn’t even spare Colonel Carson a glance, her gaze cesting on her knees, her fingers absentmindedly brushing a them.

The principal was holding his coffee cup, his hand shaking so badly that the coffee sloshed around and a few drops onto the coffee table.

He quickly set the cup down, grabbed a tissue, and wiped the table, his movements as stiff and mechanical as a wind-

There was only one thought running through his head: Senior Colonel.

This kid was actually a Senior Colonel.

He was just the principal, and he was supposed to be in charge of a student who outranked him by a whole level

Seriously, what is this? What the hell is going on?‘ the principal thought, completely stunned

Madison stood off to the side, managing to keep his composure, but his ears were still flushed red

He gave Natalie a quick glance, then quickly looked away, swallowing nervously as his Adarns appie movei

Colonel Carson instinctively snapped to attention. “Present!”
