42 Believe In Myself Enough (2/2)

This little girl really…

”I did say that. But I never said we'd approve.” General Guo sighed regretfully.

”Even if you decline, I'm still planning on going,” Rin said gently flashing them an unreadable smile.

”I will not repeat myself another time girl. You're not going!” Bai Han fumed.

”Why not? You allowed me to go before for other missions and battles? Why not this one?” Rin spoke casually.

”It's different this time! I understand you're skillful in many areas, however, this is a battle I will not allow you to enter.” He declared coldly.

”Grandpa…” Rin began but was cut off by the man's harsh bang of his palm slamming on the table.

”Rin, that's enough! If someone like me can't even stand their attacks, then you too won't bare a chance!” The tall sturdy old man shouted.

The air surrounding them became silent, Rin who had remained an indifferent expression couldn't help but furrow her brows.

General Guo who sat on the side also was quite surprised by his Commander's harsh tone towards the young girl.

After a few tense minutes of deafening silence, the familiar sound of the young girl gently releasing a sigh could be heard.

”Grandpa, I appreciate your concerns. However, you must understand I'm not one to simply give up if the enemy is too strong. After all, there's always a way to defeat someone.” Rin began speaking in a delicate tone.

In response, Bai Han had remained silent not once indicating signs of speaking. Not at all bothered by his icy front, Rin spreads a pleasant smile on her lips continuing.

”There are times when you have to give up on the easier strategy and take a few risky chances to win.” Rin continued. ”Besides don't you need a new Captain to take over the North Borders?”

”What about the vice Captain?” General Guo suddenly spoke out.

Shifting her gaze towards the strong tall man seated beside her. Rin flashes him a smile that appeared innocent but was traced with wickedness.

”After what happened to the original Captain, I'm quite sure your vice Captain won't stand a chance against them,” Rin chucked lightly.

This brat...was she calling their men weak?

”Do you have complete trust in your abilities?” The sudden gruff voice of Bai Han was heard.

Transferring her direct gaze back towards her grandfather, a brilliant flash of fierce determination and deepening darkness flashed in Rin's luminous eyes.

”I believe in myself enough, however, I'll never know until I confront this unknown armed force.” Rin grinned slyly.

Searching deep within his granddaughter's eyes for any evident hesitation, he is only met with the girl's sharp, almost flaming emerald gems.

Bai Han's thin wrinkled lips minced slightly, as his brows lowered.

”I'll think about it,” He started sternly. ”However, don't even think about running off again until I make my decision girl!”

”En, I won't grandpa.” Rin giggled as she extended a decent chunk of fish towards Ju.

Grumbling unhappily, Bai Han had suddenly felt incapable of finishing his breakfast and merely sipped his tea coldly.

General Guo who stood obediently by the side continue to stare at the two.

It wasn't his problem honestly; he'll just simply watch from the side...
