She hadn’t expected Laurent to see the message immediately Just as she was atgut to diese ha him.

“Sorry, I had some personal matters to deal with and didn’t reply to your message in time.

‘It’s okay, I understand. You said last time that you would be returning to your unit soon. When will you be free? for you:

‘You don’t have to do that. I’m not on the Capitol Planet at the moment. Be good. When you go on dates with theen. own pace. Don’t let them get the upper hand on you.’

‘You’re not on the Capitol Planet? Where did you go? Can you tell me?’

“Somewhere quite remote. I’ll be staying for a few days. Don’t worry about it. Nothing will happen.

Deep in a distant jungle, at a well-established camp, a group of soldiers sat scattered around on the ground. They ate their fond and washed it down with water, hastily making do with a meal.

In the meantime, Laurent sat alone on a huge rock. Beside him lay/an untouched pack of food. He lowered his head and was fiddling with his Holoband.

Not far away, Andrew nudged the teammate beside him with his elbow and said, “Have you noticed how much that guy has changed?”

Shaun glanced at him and asked, “What change? Hasn’t he always been this strong?”

“That’s not what I mean! I heard Matthew saying that he was the one who proposed taking the position of chief military training instructor at Starry Heavens University. Otherwise, do you think our captain would’ve invited him on this mission?

“That’s between Major Caswell and our captain. What are you trying to say?”

Hearing his words, Andrew looked at him like he was an idiot. Forget it. Although he is a tall guy, he isn’t as smart as he seemed.

The captain they were talking about was Matthew Pyler. He was the leader of this small unit and, like Laurent, held the rank of major general. He was twenty years older than Laurent, and the two had graduated from the same military academy. Back when Laurent enrolled, Matthew had been one of his instructors. Now, they belong to different military regions.

Matthew held his food and looked around, but didn’t see Laurent nearby. After scanning the area, he spotted the latter sitting cross-legged on a large rock ahead.

Matthew walked over. From about two meters away, he saw Laurent staring intently at his Holoband, occasionally tapping it with his fingers-clearly chatting with someone. As he replied, his expression softened noticeably.

Matthew stopped and waited until Laurent put away his Holoband before speaking, “I walked all the way over here, and you didn’t

make a sound? Since when has your guard been this low?

Laurent picked up the water hofft: beside him and took a sip of water

“I knew it was you, so what’s there to be on guard against

“Don’t dodge the question. Hurry up and tell me what’s going on. I knew something was amiss when you suddenly approachen me, asking for the chief military training instructor position at Starry Heavens University. Moreover, it’s rare for you to withraty o me a favor for it.” Matthew was certain something was up.

“The last time we met at Elysian, you weren’t like this at all. Why the sudden change? Also, why that position in particular? Don you think being a university’s training instructor is kind of an underestimate of your skills? I was planning to send one of my subordinates, but you…”

As Matthew spoke, he clicked his tongue before continuing, “Although you didn’t have that much expression on your face just now you were clearly different from usual! As someone who’s been through it, I can tell at a glance that you have a certain someone! really curious what kind of woman it is who can get a hold on you.”

After all, Laurent had always been extremely ambitious. As the top graduate of the First Military Academy, he’d risen through the ranks purely on merit, without relying on family connections. By forty, he’d already been exceptionally promoted to major general.

If not for the past few years, when his momentum had been so strong that higher-ups deliberately tried to rein him in, he would probably have been promoted even further.

However, judging by the current situation, even suppressing him was only a temporary measure.

Before absolute strength, those small maneuvers could delay him for a while, but never forever.

Laurent listened to his nonstop chatter before finally saying, “Since when did you become so gossipy?” Then, his voice softened slightly. “Before the New Year, I was forcibly matched. However, she’s wonderful, and I like her very much.”

“What did you say?!” Matthew couldn’t help but shout. “How did you get such incredible luck? How old are you even? Back then, ! chased my wife for over ten years before she finally agreed. I’m so envious of your good luck!”
