Flynn slowly turned his gaze to Maverick, “Do you still want the $30 million from Ms. Sharp now?”
“I, I, I…” Maverick’s mouth trembled continuously, finally squeezing out a bitter smile, “Mr. Clark, you must be joking. I never asked Ms. Sharp for $30 million!”
Asking for $30 million as a toll was blatant extortion, something he dared not admit in front of a major general.
Flynn smirked coldly, deciding not to argue with Maverick.
Billy Calder spoke to Maverick, “Sir, because your vehicles blocked the road and hindered military affairs, we had to remove the obstacles.”
“This time, we used eighty shells, 4, 600 rounds from the heavy machine gun, 2, 500 rounds from the vehicle-mounted machine guns, and sniper rifle bullets…”
“The total cost of the ammunition amounts to $7 million.”
“We hope you can pay for our losses at Blade base today. National assets must not be violated, and if you fail to pay on time, we will take coercive measures!”
Hearing this, Maverick spat out a mouthful of old blood and collapsed on the ground.
He had just been injured by the blast, and his body was already weak. The major general’s words made his blood surge and he vomited black blood.
The frustration inside him was indescribable.
His twenty off-road vehicles were destroyed, over a hundred of his men were incapacitated, and now he had to pay for the ammunition that destroyed his vehicles!
Who could he complain to?
And he didn’t have a leg to stand on. Families of executed criminals had to pay for the bullets; what more for obstructing official duties?
Today, it was truly a case of losing the lady and the troops!
At that moment, Brandon had already learned about the situation from Rose and sternly said to Maverick, “For training convenience, Blade base will requisition this road leading to the city center. Mr. Santana, do you have any objections?”
“No… no objections…” Maverick dared not utter a single word of refusal.
Brandon nodded, then suddenly shouted, “Since you have no objections, then get lost! Do you still want to obstruct official duties?”
Maverick and his men trembled tremendously, scrambling away from the place, utterly subdued.
The Eight Extremities School had never suffered such humiliation since its establishment.
Usually, they were the ones high and mighty, ordering others away. But this time, they were defeated by a young man!
It was truly shameful.
If this incident spread, the Niarak branch was doomed to lose face among the other branches.
Next, Flynn instructed everyone for a while.
He especially took care of the less skilled members, “Chief Instructor, we’re not satisfied yet! If there’s another opportunity like this for training, you must notify us!”
“Yeah, those small fries aren’t even worth your effort! Let us handle it!”
The team was buzzing with excitement.
“You’ll be facing the Ember Drake special forces team! Fighting street thugs a hundred times won’t improve you; you must break through your own limits!”
“Now, carry fifty kilograms and climb to the top of Crystalline Summit and then come back down. I’ll wait here!”
“You only have one hour!”
At Flynn’s command, the Blade Special Forces members immediately shouldered their gear and swiftly headed towards Crystalline Summit.
Molly couldn’t help but say to Billy Calder, “Major General, wasn’t Sullivan the instructor at Blade? Why has it changed to Flynn?”
Billy Calder sighed deeply, his expression filled with sorrow, “A team member’s grenade slipped during training, and Mr. Cox jumped on it to protect everyone, sacrificing himself.”
Sullivan’s sacrifice during training preserved his dignity and also reduced some unnecessary troubles. It was similar to announcing a death in the line of duty after a criminal was shot.
“Brandon, how about we compete too?”
Billy Calder didn’t wait for Molly to ask further and issued a challenge to Brandon.
Brandon shook his head, smiling, “Forget it, if I win, that would be too embarrassing for you!”
Though he said this, he quickly grabbed his gear and ran towards Crystalline Summit.
“Brandon, you’re cheating!” Billy Calder was stunned at first, then shouted angrily as he chased after him.
Brandon looked back and laughed, “Major General, all is fair in love and war! I’ll wait for you at the summit!”
Molly was slightly shocked.
Mr. Cox had sacrificed himself to protect everyone?
He was a Semi-Grandmaster!
What a loss!
She didn’t doubt much, as real bullet training often resulted in accidents in special forces.
Molly turned to Flynn, her expression complex.
After Mr. Cox’s sacrifice, the major general had turned to Flynn.
But to be a special forces instructor, one had to be at least a Semi-Grandmaster.
Flynn, probably like her, was a Semi-Grandmaster.
Funny, she hadn’t realized.
The guy had some skills after all!
But he was way too arrogant.
A Semi-Grandmaster leading Blade to defeat Ember Drake was a daydream!
The chief instructor of Ember Drake was a Great Grandmaster!
Moreover, the members of the Ember Drake special forces team were all practitioners of Inner Strength, including several Semi-Grandmasters. How could Blade win?
Unless Flynn was a Great Grandmaster with secret techniques that could quickly turn his team into powerhouses.
But was that likely?
She, a prodigy, was only a Semi-Grandmaster. How could Flynn, a man known for flirting, surpass her in martial arts?
“Miss Hamilton, you drive the drivers to the hospital and then contact other drivers to haul the three loads of medical supplies back.”
Rose handed the car keys to Harriet.
Harriet glanced at Flynn, wanting to say something but eventually closed her mouth.
She nodded to Rose, helped the drivers into the BMW X5, and drove towards the city.
At that moment, a white Mercedes appeared in the distance and quickly approached.
Kendal got out of the car, glanced at the dozens of wrecked vehicles in the ditch, then his gaze fell on the military vehicle, and he paused abruptly.
“Second in command very disappointed?” Rose’s face flashed with anger as she spoke coldly.
Kendal frowned. “What do you mean, Ms. Sharp?”
Rose scoffed coldly. “You come right after the situation is resolved. Great timing.”
She had lost all fondness for Kendal, even feeling a bit disgusted.
She had sincerely wanted to be friends, but Kendal was always scheming.
Just because she hadn’t agreed to the Radiant Pharmaceuticals order, Kendal had disregarded everyone’s safety.
If not for Flynn’s timely arrival, she and Harriet would have been violated!
Kendal’s face was stern as he spoke, “I’ve been trying to contact Mr. Goff, running back and forth between several places. Are you questioning my inaction?”
Rose scoffed, “And what did Mr. Goff say?”
“I didn’t find him, but I’ll make time to arrange a meeting, and we can talk openly and honestly.” Kendal stared into Rose’s eyes, his words icy.
Rose felt the offense.
A person who flattered me, daring to talk to me like this?
Rose, don’t take yourself too seriously!
Rose laughed lightly, her tone indifferent. “Mr. Goff doesn’t even want to meet you. Are you confident you can persuade him?”
“You don’t need to worry about that. I have my ways, and I assure you Mr. Goff won’t target you anymore.” Kendal spoke flatly, his eyes suddenly turning cold as he pointed at Molly, “But I have one condition. I don’t want to see this woman again!”
