“Talk!”“My… My name is Sterling Wallace!”Finn said sternly, “Sterling Wallace? Don’t you even know how to reply? Is there something wrong with your brain?”“Sir, I… I was in the bathroom,” Sterling quickly explained.Finn did not expect him to reply so honestly. He gave Sterling an eerie smile. “Went to the bathroom, did you? Step out of the line!”Sterling quickly walked to the front as everyone looked at him pitifully.“Give me 50 push-ups!” Finn ordered stoically.Sterling’s face turned green when he heard this.50 sit-ups?He could not even do ten!Sterling had always lived a comfortable life and had never trained before. All his stamina was used to lay on top of women.Finn said in a grim voice, “Do you have any objections? Get out if you aren’t willing to do it. Basalt doesn’t need useless good-for-nothings. We don’t need men who disobey military orders!”“No, I have no objections.”Sterling winced and quickly got to the floor. He began to do his push-ups.He was
Sterling was the one who looked forward to meeting the chief instructor the most.He knew that he had performed horribly just now. It was highly possible that he would be eliminated.If he managed to get into the Chief Instructor Collins’ good graces, he might stand a chance to continue at Basalt.Vince could not wait to meet the chief instructor as well.His fists were clenched.If the Watersons were able to get acquainted with Chief Instructor Collins, they would have a powerful ally.Once that happened, they could destroy the Wallaces just like that!As for Myra and Chase, it would be easy for him to have them dead.Vince got excited at this thought.The sound of slow footsteps was heard, and everyone perked up their ears. They held their breaths and looked straight ahead. They did not dare to move at all.It felt like every step was stomping on their hearts. Everyone’s blood pressure went up from that feeling.When Chase got nearer, Finn immediately jogged over to him an
Chase gave the order, “Throw him out!”Finn immediately instructed his subordinates to drag Sterling out.Vince also knelt heavily on the ground. He kept bowing at Chase as he said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Collins. I shouldn’t have offended you. Please show mercy.”There was regret on his face.If he had known who Chase really was, he would never have set his eyes on Myra no matter how brazen he was.Of course, he would never have dared stir up trouble with Chase.Vince wanted to slap himself at the thought of how he had planned to take revenge on Chase.“I thought you would've dialed back on your actions that night at the party after I taught you a lesson, Vince Waterson.“Yet, you decided to bring your men and barge into the Wallace's villa in an attempt to take revenge against me.”Chase’s tone was cold. “A petty person like you who's filled with grudges and has a lecherous mind should be severely punished!“Take him away and lock him up. I’ll deal out his punishment later!”Vinc
Sterling looked at everyone’s expectant faces. He wanted to shout out loud, 'Chief Instructor Collins is actually Chase Collins!'However, he swallowed those words when they were right at his lips.It was not that he did not want to tell them.When he was thrown out, someone warned him not to reveal Chase’s identity or he would be executed!This was an order given by the top brass in Basalt!Chase’s identity had to be kept strictly under wraps before the appointment ceremony.It was because beneath the surface of their calm country laid a sinister layer of threats. Many of their enemies’ spies and powerful fighters were hidden in the dark.Once Chase’s identity was revealed, it would bring him nothing but trouble.Agatha stamped her feet impatiently when she saw Sterling hemming and hawing. “Tell us, quick.”Sterling hesitated before deciding to lie, “Actually, I only managed to glimpse the side of Chief Instructor Collins’ face.”“The side of his face?”Everyone was taken a
Agatha was stunned!Every Wallace was stunned as well.Did they hear this wrong?Myra had actually been accepted into Basalt?How was that possible?Sterling was the only one who looked bitter.Myra was the chief instructor’s sister. It would be a joke if she was not accepted into Basalt.Renee looked the most upset among everyone.Her face was pale, and she was about to explode from jealousy.Renee had always looked down on Myra. To her, Myra was just a wild woman who grew up outside the family. Even though she was a Wallace, Myra could never compare to Renee.However, it was true that Myra had joined Basalt.Renee could not accept this.“Impossible! That can’t be possible!”She was angered and started roaring hysterically, “How… How did she manage to join Basalt?!”“Are you questioning me?” Iris immediately stared coldly at Renee.Renee fell sitting to the ground. She shook her head in fright. “I… I would never dare do that!”Iris grunted coldly and said to Myra, “We’
Everyone was stunned to hear Sterling’s words.Agatha thought she had heard wrong. “What did you just say, Sterling?”“Grandma, I was expelled by Basalt,” Sterling said with an ugly smile.“What?”Agatha almost passed out as she said agitatedly, “How did this happen? How?”Every member of the Wallaces looked like they had just swallowed a bug.They had thought that the Wallaces would be able to prosper after Sterling got accepted into Basalt.Who knew that they had been flung back to hell in a blink of an eye?Sterling glanced carefully at Chase. “I… I performed too badly while in training, and the chief instructor expelled me himself…”Agatha coughed up blood and passed out on the spot.“Grandma!” “Madam Johnson!” The Wallaces were in a frenzy, and there was a huge commotion among them.Chase turned away and said to Myra, “Let’s go, Myra.”Myra left with Chase only after making sure that Agatha was safely taken away by everyone in a car.…Back at the Watersons' villa
“What are you doing here?” Chase frowned and asked.“Chief… Chief Instructor Collins, can.. Can I have a moment with you?” Sterling asked carefully.“Come inside.” Chase nodded.“No, it’s fine. It’s better that I talk to you out here.”Sterling shook his head and suddenly knelt in front of Chase. “I acted too arrogantly before, Chief Instructor. Please forgive me for it.”He had been feeling constant fear since he found out Chase’s identity.Even though Chase had expelled him from Basalt, he was still fearful of Chase coming after him for revenge.That was why Sterling rushed over to see Chase immediately after taking Agatha to the hospital. He wanted to apologize to Chase.“You’re overthinking this. I’ve already dealt out my punishment for you. I won’t hold anything against you now.”Chase shook his head and continued, “Moreover, a person like you isn’t worth wasting my time on.”His words sounded harsh, but Sterling was greatly relieved. “Thank you for showing mercy on me.”
When Eugene heard Evan’s words, he could not help asking, “What if Chief Instructor Collins refuses to see you?”“He has to see me!”Evan sneered. “Don’t forget that I’m from Green Dragon. Green Dragon is ranked in front of Basalt, and my chief instructor is known to be a hard-fisted man who gets what he wants. Basalt would not dare to give me trouble!”“Good.”Eugene was relieved.…Meanwhile, after Myra was done with her bath, she put on a tight silver short dress that accentuated every voluptuous curve on her body.“Do I look good, Chase?” Myra walked toward Chase and twirled for him.Chase stared at her in a daze.Myra looked completely different than before. Her lips were red hot, and she looked quite alluring. Every move and smile of hers was flirtatious.She looked like a seductive temptress.Myra smiled cunningly when she saw the look on his face. It was a satisfied smile.“Are you going on a blind date, Myra? Why are you all dressed up?” Chase asked after snapping
