Chapter 966 Establish A New Order
Tristan swept a gaze over Felix.
“I think it’s more like you’re jealous. Who wears a shirt while training, especially in such hot weather? Do you have no abs?”
“Who said so? I do! Of course, I’ve got abs!” Dejection swamped Felix. My abs are just not that prominent. He then turned to Ysabelle. “I really do have abs, Ysabelle.”
Hearing that, Ysabelle could not help bursting into giggles.
“All right, it doesn’t matter whether you’ve got abs. I like you, not your abs,” she asserted.
“But you were totally engrossed when you stared at their abs,” Felix whined pitifully.
“Well…” How am I to explain that? Everyone likes to admire things that are pleasing to the eye. Ysabelle countered. “That doesn’t detract from the fact that I like you!”
“Fine, then.”
What else can I say to that? When I’ve recovered, I’ll definitely train hard and develop my abs. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to stand having her peek at other men’s abs all the time!
After the morning training, everyone had breakfast together. The instant the men under Tristan’s command spotted Sophie, they all sat far away, for the memory of Bertram being put through the wringer remained vivid in their minds.
Considering Ms. Tanner’s capabilities, Mr. Tristan is probably the only person in the entire base who’s her match.
“Whatever did you do, Sophie? Why do I feel as though everyone is terrified of you today?” Ysabelle was wholly ignorant about the entire matter.
“Nothing much. I merely sparred with Bert, and they all happened to witness it.” That was all that transpired
“Haha!”
Following Sophie’s blithe answer, Felix inexorably laughed out loud, for he knew her capabilities. She m have wiped the floor with Bertram!
“Why are you laughing?” Ysabelle asked in puzzlement. Was that funny?
“No reason.”
At that precise moment, Bertram came over and sat down to have breakfast with them.
“Ms. Tanner…”
“What is it? You’d still like to spar with me one on one?”
Immediately, Bertram waved his hands in demurral.
“No, no! How could I possibly dare do so? I’m here to seek your help to train a few men for me. Your marksmanship is truly impeccable,” Bertram explained.
“Oh, I see. Sure! I’ll be staying here for some time. Just leave them to me.” Merely training a few men was not a problem for Sophie.
“Great!” Sheer gratification flooded Bertram upon her agreement.
“How about I likewise tag along and learn from you during this time, Sophie? I’d be able to help you all
out if there were danger in the future instead of being a burden.” Ysabelle expressed, having found herself utterly useless this time, unable to help in anything.
“Yeah, sure,” Sophie agreed.
Indeed, no matter how powerful those around her are, she’s the only person who can protect herself at a critical juncture. On top of that, she’s a highly renowned singer now and will always run into danger of some sort.
Felix, on the other hand, did not share the same sentiments. “You don’t need to learn, Ysabelle. It’s an arduous process. I’ll protect you so long as you remain by my side. Verily, it was nothing more than an accident this time. I’ll certainly be able to keep her safe in the future!
́I don’t doubt your capabilities, Felix. I merely feel that you can be more relaxed if I’m capable of defending myself. Don’t worry. I can endure a bit of hardship.”
Nonetheless, unadulterated anguish pervaded Felix.
In truth, the incident this time had really scared Ysabelle. That was why she decided to take that step.
