Novel Bin Chapter 458
“I didn’t expect us to be seeing each other so soon.” Blake said as he approached Camilla who seating beside a lady in her early 20s.
Blake had been informed by Camilla that she would be taking the role of a captain. She was on probation, but unlike him who was given his full squad, only 30 officers were put under her.
(AN: Officially the captain rank of both special ops and the normal force are the same thing, but captains of special ops units have more power. So it is an unspoken rule that they were higher in rank.)
“Blake!” Camilla was surprised to see Blake and wasted no time hugging him.
“Are my eyes playing tricks on me or did your hot family member just hug that guy?” A captain sitting next to the white-haired captain that tried to harass Blake.
Just like when she was back at the magic school, Camilla had been the center of attraction. It took high levels of both willpower and discipline for males to stop themselves from proposing, let alone not stare at her jaw-dropping curves.
.....
Apart from her irresistible curves, her reserved demeanor and movement made guys go crazy. This made most girls envious of her because ever since the previous day she had been taking all the attention.
“What?!” The white-haired man was shocked to ser Camilla’s hands around Blake, but he had managed to hold back his outrage just in time.
“She had always been indifferent to every single man that came her way, even when it came to those from the capital. So why is she reacting this way to him?” The white-haired man was confused.
“I need to look know more about him.” The white-haired man as well as every other male in the room thought as they saw the scene that just took place.
It had been a competition on who would get her attention and everyone had been preparing lines and planning out multiple scenarios in their heads, but this had shattered everything.
They now wanted to know what made Blake so interesting and do better to win her heart.
“Remember where we are.” Blake whispered to Camilla causing her to let him go.
“This is my second in command, Lauren.” Camilla pointed to the red-haired lady beside her, who wasted no time saluting.
“Where is yours?” Camilla couldn’t help but ask.
“My unit was assigned an investigation and extermination mission yesterday. So I didn’t even have enough time to know their names let alone pick a second in command.” Blake answered.
“A mission already?” Camilla as well as Lauren were surprised to hear this.
“Yup.” Blake nodded.
“How is it going so far?” Camilla asked as she gestured for him to take a seat beside hers.
“We found the gang during the daytime and exterminated them late that night.” Blake replied.
‘Who is this person and what charm is he using to make her believe such a blatant lie? I can’t wait to go to the general office and pull up proof that he is lying.’ Lauren who was listening to the conversation thought.
“I am glad to hear that your first mission went well.” Camilla said with a genuine smile.
‘This is the first time I am seeing her smile this way. Who is this guy?!’ The lieutenant was screaming in her head.
“We did complete the mission but it didn’t go as well as I wanted it to be all thanks to my team’s lack of knowledge and synergy.”
“So I had to inform commander Darius about it and he granted me some time to train my team.” Blake explained.
‘He even dare to lie with the Commander’s name. He is surely losing his position.’ Lauren thought as an evil smile appeared in her head.
“Good day everyone, sorry for the delay.” Darius appeared in the room, causing everyone to stand and salute before taking their seat.
“Today’s briefing is about the city’s future plans.” Commander Darius announced.
“As you all know, captain Blake over there was the main reason for the eastern region’s victory in the regional competition.” Darius pointed at Blake causing everyone to turn to him.
“Thanks to him the eastern region has been allocated a lot of the resources, and as the capital of the east, Calton would be getting a large portion of the resources.”
“Using the resources, prince Bryon has laid out a large list of plans he has for Calton city. The most important 2 are building more landmarks and most importantly expanding the city.” Commander Darius said causing everyone to be confused.
“You all are quite young, that is why you are not aware that the city wall is an artifact that can expand once fed the right materials.” Darius explained.
‘I always knew it was an artifact but I never thought something that large can move or grow in size.’ Blake thought.
“For all the projects to be a success our job is to wipe out as many gangs as possible. Both big and small, if any information is to be gotten about any of them they should be taken out without delay.” Commander explained.
He went on to give more detailed plans before ending the meeting just a few minutes before lunchtime.
‘This is the worst time to be a gangster.’ Blake couldn’t help but feel pity because the ash corps which had been indifferent to most of their activities were now planning on actively hunting them down.
“Where are you heading to?” Camilla asked.
