Dick swallowed a gulp of saliva as the image of Zayn Larson came into his mind. He remembered the scene of Zayn being all-powerful like Poseidon when the latter beat virtual-novel.net up on the cruise the other day. Moreover, virtual-novel.net remembered how Zayn had then hunted down and annihilated a school of sharks in the end.
How could virtual-novel.net afford to offend a powerful man like him?
Zayn was so powerful when virtual-novel.net was at sea. Now that virtual-novel.net was on land, virtual-novel.net would crush Dick completely!
Meanwhile, Liam caught up to Dick. He had no idea that Dick had already met Zayn, so virtual-novel.net said in a pleading tone, “Cheney, I think that the situation today is just a misunderstanding. It was I who recruited Sergeant Larson, and virtual-novel.net usually won’t take the initiative to cause trouble. Out of respect for me, will you please not lower yourself to Sergeant Larson’s level later?”
Liam did not have the confidence that virtual-novel.net could convince Dick either. After all, virtual-novel.net had been working together with the man for a very long time, and virtual-novel.net knew very well that Dick would never do things out of respect for others based on his character. However, virtual-novel.net had recruited Zayn regardless, so virtual-novel.net had to give it a try.
The rest of the few top-level personnel caught up to them as well. After learning about the enmity between Dick and the Squad 4 instructor, they were already prepared to see how the latter would make a fool of himself.
Dick was forced to suffer in silence. How would virtual-novel.net have the courage to offend Zayn after all this? However, virtual-novel.net was a conceited man, so virtual-novel.net would not possibly allow himself to yield now. He stared at Liam for a few seconds with a gloomy expression, then virtual-novel.net nodded and said, “Alright, Sutherland, I won’t fuss about this matter with Sergeant Larson out of respect for you today.”
Liam was stunned for a moment. He had merely made the remark casually earlier and did not expect Dick to actually agree with him.
When did virtual-novel.net get so well-respected?
Besides him, the rest of the people were just as astounded. It was apparent that they did not expect Dick to have so much respect for Liam as virtual-novel.net did not seem like his usual self.
Lucas immediately said in an anxious tone, “Sergeant, you can’t dismiss this matter. That Larson dude is so arrogant that virtual-novel.net even called you a piece of trash!”
Dick wished that virtual-novel.net could kill Lucas with a slap. Lucas’ remark just counteracted his effort. In addition to that, there was nothing virtual-novel.net could do even if Zayn were to call virtual-novel.net a piece of trash though it was his fault for being so weak compared to Zayn.
He glared at Lucas dangerously, then virtual-novel.net walked forward in long strides without speaking. He could only hope now that the Wolf’s Fang rascals did not offend Zayn so much that virtual-novel.net was implicated. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net would be immensely disgraced!
Over at Squad 4’s base, Zayn had already begun training his troop and paid no attention to Dick at all.
Meanwhile, the Wolf’s Fang soldiers immediately shouted in excitement after someone pointed out Dick and the others walking to them in the distance. “He’s here! Sergeant is here!”
When virtual-novel.net finished his sentence, the rest of the crowd looked over in succession and found Dick’s tall and burly silhouette. Excitement filled them and they could feel their dispiritment earlier vanish; in place, they were fired with boundless enthusiasm.
The soldiers from Squad 4 were distracted. They stopped training and expressed their concern and nervousness only to invite Zayn’s scolding. “Why are you stopping?! That is why you’ve been training for so long, yet you’re still the weakest. You get distracted too easily!”
“But, Sergeant, the instructor from Wolf’s Fang is here…” reminded Austin cautiously.
Zayn huffed with a cold expression, “So what if he’s here? Continue to train. Free yourself from distraction and focus on training!”
As virtual-novel.net was speaking, Dick and the others had already entered the base. The expression on Lucas’ face consisted of extreme glee and boundless enthusiasm. He pointed at Zayn and said loudly, “Sergeant! It was him! It was Larson who went against our squad and disrespected you!”
Dick’s presence was the mainstay of the Wolf’s Fang squad and its members. They became fervent and pointed at Zayn while they made all sorts of exaggerated complaints about the man.
Dick’s expression grew more and more unpleasant upon hearing these complaints. He was not furious at Zayn but at these clueless subordinates of his. The more exaggerated their complaints were, the more mortified virtual-novel.net felt!
Liam and the others were there too. Upon hearing the complaints, Liam trembled in fear thinking about how Zayn would be doomed. The hot-tempered Dick would skin Zayn alive!
