Dmitri still couldn't believe that the King would call and resolve his earlier punishment and instead tasked him to let the new force do anything it wanted to do, as long as it did not step over the boundaries of the Spartan. When he couldn't control his curiosity and asked about his wisdom behind it, his unbelievable words almost made him cough blood.
"I heard the King let you off this time." Came in the voluptuous Chynna. One of the squadron leaders of the Spartan. Despite the hierarchy between him and the squadron leaders, at the end of the day, they were but still, good comrades.
"Not necessarily. More like I have to thank someone because of it." "Oh? Who?"
"'The lady boss."
This time, Chynna's eyes turned deadly but she recovered and hid it right away but that didn't escape Dmitri's sight. He just hopes that this won't lead to her own downfall.
"Oh, you must be joking. It's been five years, has there been lead now? About the Future lady boss?"
"I haven't asked Ryan yet. But I surely will."
"Hmm, but what's the relationship of the Future lady boss with the new force?" Chynna couldn't hide her loathing just because that force was the reason why their Spartan force was humiliated to such a degree. And now it is such a wonder that their King would just rather leave that force alone. And what about it being related to that woman. Just thinking of her and how she and her comrades suffered gravely because of their King's pursuit to find her made her hate her even more. And that also for another selfish reason.
"We'll come to know about that soon enough." Dmitri stared at her directly before walking ahead, leaving Chynna seething in jealousy.
Elitista Hotel
It's been two days since the food delivery incident and things with Baelforce have surprisingly gone well and stable now. Veronica was already thinking of going back to Country R as she already missed her family and much especially her most precious twins.
She thought she'd be staying longer than a month but it turned out that a week will do. And maybe she will from time to time visit her force in Country P to check personally. What held her back from going back home in Country R was Zero who, in her delight, was seriously investigating his origin. She knows that he had already found some trace but she'll be patient for
him to report things to her all at once. Since she already finished things that she was supposed to do for a day, she decided to video call to talk to her twins.
