The girl smiled back. ”Smart kid, how could you tell that I wasn’t afraid? I was caught up in the middle of these sickos for real.”
”Ma’am, the act of fear is not as simple as you think, and please don’t tell me that you were sent here to kill me. I’m only a poor student who has nothing in his possession, or are you here because you’re interested in me?” Wang Tong joked.
The girl replied with a bright smile, ”Wow, students nowadays are better than I’d expected. But first, I have to correct one thing, please don’t call me ma’am, I’m too young for that title as you can see. Second, I am really here because of you. As for the reason...” She continued with a cunning grin, ”that’s a secret.”
Finally, the rest of the inmates realized that they got screwed, so everyone charged towards her instantly. Within minutes, everyone stayed put as they witnessed their leaders getting owned in a flash. Her Soul Energy count was four hundred Sols, meaning that she was able to knock out everyone in the cell in a blink of an eye... and without sweating at all!
Wang Tong squinted. He had never met anyone that strong before.
The girl then wiped her hands with a piece of tissue and threw it on the ground as she finished. Then, she walked towards the gate and knocked on it a few times. Immediately, the gate started to rise gradually. She turned back and looked at Wang Tong. ”I believe we’ll meet again soon, Mr. Wang Tong. Take care.”
She was then escorted out by two wardens. It was clearly a set-up since the beginning, and those perverted pigs happened to become the bunch of supporting characters in this mini ”sitcom”.
Knowing that Wang Tong was another ”dangerous” person, the rest of the inmates retreated and stayed put quietly. Wang Tong started to make his own analysis after hearing that he was targeted. He doubted that it was a probe, because he had never met her before, and he was not related to anyone in the military.
Things were getting more and more confusing, and eventually, Wang Tong gave up trying to put back together the pieces of the puzzle one by one. ‘Whatever will be, will be.’
Obviously, the incident on Paradise Island would take time to settle. Both the FFC and the military had sent their own men to do the negotiation, and things might get even messier in the future. Hence their special training would have to shift to another location. Fortunately, the first phase of the whole training was complete, so Martyrus and Samantha decided to shift the whole team to Bernabeu for their upcoming training.
Although both Bernabeu and Ayrlarng had similar hardware, Bernabeu had a better environment, training systems, and trainers than Ayrlarng, especially in Battlecraft Combat and Intel Programming Battle.
However, Martyrus and Samantha were frustrated about two things. The first one was Wang Tong and Apache’s detention; both principals had contacted the military regarding this, and finally, the military had agreed to release the two boys after a series of investigations and finding out that the boys had nothing to do with the incident. Both principals were very mad about this, but they could do nothing about it. Nevertheless, Martyrus and Samantha had prepared to file a complaint against the military and ask for a proper explanation because this was not a small matter. But clearly, the military was only going to punish a few officers as their ”sincere” apologies, retaining the dignity of both sides.
Yet, both principals were equally puzzled by the second problem. Apparently, Wang Ben had requested to be transferred to another academy, and not just to any other academies: he wanted to be transferred to Capth, which was giving Samantha a severe headache. Without Wang Ben, their odds of winning would be severely affected. Wang Ben didn’t give any reason when he left, causing Samantha to be very confused. But still, she would have to face the reality.
Wang Ben’s strength made him in the top three amongst his fellow trainees, and he was improving quickly. Both he and Wang Tong had been learning a lot within these few days. He was a tough fighter with lots of potential. Samantha valued Wang Ben very much, and even saw him as one of her important element in restoring Ayrlarng. But everything had vanished the moment he stepped out of Ayrlarng’s gate.
Samantha decided to break the news to everyone when Wang Tong and Apache returned safely. She didn’t want to hide anything from her students. However, this shocking news might deeply impact the spirit of the alliance which was badly weakened already.
Wang Ben’s enrollment to Capth had just made their colossal opponent even stronger, turning the bad situation into worse. Nevertheless, Samantha remained positive, as she knew that it was important to retain the fighting spirit regardless they won or lost; furthermore, she had never thought of crushing Capth in one shot.
After spending a night waiting on the watercraft, Wang Tong and Apache were finally brought back by a military vessel early the next morning. Samantha seemed calmer when she saw that the boys were okay. Then, she gathered everyone around and broke the news about Wang Ben’s transfer to Capth.
”Transfer to Capth? What the f*ck? Are you kidding me?” Karl was the first one to react. ”Is he insane? How could he join the side of our enemies?”
The others were shocked to hear that too.
Wang Tong and Apache looked at each other. They had been worried at the beginning, but they hadn’t expected that it would be more serious than they could even imagine.
”Ma’am. Are you sure? Wang Ben would never...”
”There’s no mistake, and he didn’t say why. But the academy has approved his transfer due to his special case, and the agreement between him and the academy. Moreover, Ayrlarng has no place for fence sitters. Perhaps all of you will be meeting him in Capth, and by then, he will not be your ally, but your enemy. So be prepared,” Samantha said.
”That ba*tard! Sonuvabi*tch! Traitor!” Karl banged on the table angrily as the others shook their heads. Everyone was disappointed and infuriated because they had been fighting together, training together, and going through hardships together as a team. Yet, Wang Ben chose to leave and join the other side at this critical moment.
