Lucio was filled with excitement after defeating Takashi.
He trotted toward Nathan and saluted, his eyes looking forward.
“Fortunately, I didn't fail the mission, President Cross! I've already defeated the arrogant Takashi!”
With a smile on his face, Nathan praised, “Not bad. You didn't embarrass us.”
Lucio's smile turned brighter. “It's all because of your advice, President Cross. Of course, I also have General Dunne and Colonel Quinn to thank.
I'm grateful that I was given the opportunity to learn a lot from you all. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to defeat Takashi that easily.”
Nathan and the others smiled.
At that moment, Huey came over to defuse the situation. “You truly are a military man and Eurasia's God of War, Mr. Cross. Today, I finally have the chance to see just how powerful you are. Just a few pointers from you are enough to grant Lucio an astounding improvement. You really are a god among men, Mr. Cross! Your lieutenants are also all very capable!”
“You flatter me, Mr. Gutierrez.” Nathan smiled.
“Not at all, Mr. Cross. Since there's still time, I wonder if your lieutenants are willing to give a few pointers to our soldiers!” Instead of directly asking Nathan to give the pointers, Huey decided to ask Colin and Ava for that.
Nathan didn't reject his request again and agreed. Being too humble was sometimes not a good thing, especially in Adrune, where people would genuinely think you were weak.
It was better to show off strength at the right time to win people's respect.
Nathan turned to Ava and Colin. “Since Mr. Gutierrez is showing great interest in our strength, you two will spar with the soldiers of Peacekeeping Forces today. Interact with them and improve together.”
Colin and Ava replied in unison, “Understood!”
Huey was overjoyed when he heard that and immediately made the appropriate arrangements.
Colin temporarily acted as Peacekeeping Forces' instructor and gave the soldiers there a lecture.
He wanted to talk to them about their practical experiences.
