Chapter 72
Meanwhile, Lorne had just arrived at Regalhold University when he got the news. Without hesitation, he turned right around and headed straight for the Regalhold military division.
Over at Regalhold’s central district, inside a military family villa, a woman in her early twenties–on the curvier side–suddenly shot up from her chair.
“What? Caleb got dragged into training by some woman? And that bitch wants him to do basic training for those Regalhold University students in ten days?” she said.
“Miss, I’d be careful with your words. Word is, that woman holds a high rank in the military,” warned an elderly butler in a crisp uniform.
Rhea Jennings, the curvy woman in question, scoffed. “Oh, please. A nineteen–year–old bitch? How high could she possibly rank? Caleb’s a major, at best she’s a colonel. In front of my father, a lieutenant general, she is nothing.
“Besides, the reason she’s being sent there is to explain the basic training process to the soldiers who are in charge of basic training.
“In previous years, the people who did these idle jobs were all low- and middle–ranking veterans. The fact that the higher–ups are sending her there means that they’ve already given up on her.
“I am a Mid–Class Warrior. It’s not that I’m not capable, but if I had any interest in the position of colonel, I would have been a colonel long ago. Tell me, Carlos, why the hell should I watch my mouth around someone like that?”
Carlos opened his mouth, hesitated, then decided to say nothing.
Rhea snorted again. “There are so many people she could have chosen, but she had to choose Caleb. That bitch wouldn’t be interested in Caleb, would
she?
Hearing that, Raven turned slightly, flashing him a small, unreadable smile. For some reason, her smile made Caleb feel a chill in his heart. However, Raven didn’t say anything to him and turned to look at the accommodation area.
Then, in the next second, her voice rang through the entire division, ice–cold and commanding. “Line up in front of me within ten seconds, otherwise, get the hell out of the Vyrdenia military!”
