“Kid, I don’t know what charm you have that makes Callie Pearce like you so much.”
“But since I have taken a liking to her, you better get lost, understand?”
Montgomery Crane stared into Flynn’s eyes, his words laden with a heavy threat.
From what was heard among the Crimson Dragon Gang, Flynn was merely someone who took advantage of Brandon Pearce’s lack of options, stepping in to temporarily fill the role of head instructor.
This guy, knowing neither humility nor fear, even dared to outfit himself with the Blade Special Forces.
He smashed up the Crimson Dragon Gang’s properties and then came to strut before him as a big shot.
He had almost been fooled just now.
What was this?
A classic case of a petty man achieving a little success!
“Montgomery, did I hear that wrong? Ms. Pearce doesn’t like a Grandmaster like you, but likes him?” The fierce man said, shocked.
Montgomery Crane slightly narrowed his eyes and said, “Yeah, when I went up the mountain, I saw Callie Pearce linking arms with him, their actions affectionate, showing they were no ordinary friends.”
The scene he had just encountered was a huge blow to Montgomery Crane.
He had helped The Edge achieve fifth place in the military competition, yet had not even received a smile from Callie Pearce; this kid, with no achievements to his name, had Callie Pearce linking arms with him all the way up the mountain, accompanying him with smiles throughout?
Especially today, Callie Pearce was dressed in a way that highlighted her slender waist and long, straight legs, her contours graceful and appealing.
The gentle and lovely Callie Pearce also had a sexy side.
Such an outstanding woman, yet intimate with a man far inferior to himself?
Montgomery Crane was both jealous and annoyed.
“Kid, from today onwards, within a hundred meters of Callie Pearce, I don’t want to see you.”
“Also, you are to resign immediately from The Edge training base, do you hear?” Montgomery Crane said coldly.
Flynn frowned.
He didn’t want to deal with this idiot, it would dirty his hands.
Arguing with him would only lower his own intelligence.
Yet Montgomery Crane kept jumping around in front of him, truly annoying.
It was like encountering a fly in summer; if you can’t shoo it away, you just have to endure the disgust and squash it.
But just as Flynn was about to take action, Callie Pearce came over carrying a few pomegranates.
“Montgomery Crane, what are you doing here?” Callie Pearce asked with a dark face.
Seeing Callie Pearce approaching, Montgomery Crane immediately chuckled and said, “Nothing much, I heard this brother is a practitioner, just wanted to make friends.”
“Is that so, Mr. Clark?”
He tossed the topic to Flynn, his face smiling but his eyes full of threats.
As if to say, kid, find an excuse and scram!
And remember my words, stay away from Callie Pearce or you can’t afford the consequences.
Flynn laughed and said, “That’s right, I just got to know Montgomery a bit.”
“Callie Pearce, Montgomery is a good person, always looking out for you.”
Hearing this, Montgomery Crane laughed.
See that? Exposed this kid’s true colors, he can’t pretend anymore, he’s cowered.
Afraid of offending me, he even started to sing praises for me.
Not bad! Keep groveling, once I win over Callie Pearce, maybe I’ll throw you a few bones.
Callie Pearce, however, was very upset, her face showing discomfort, “Mr. Clark, I don’t like him, please don’t speak well of him on his behalf.”
In Callie Pearce’s view, Flynn saying this meant he found her clingy, trying to push her towards Montgomery Crane.
Flynn raised an eyebrow and laughed, “I’m just a Semi-Grandmaster, Montgomery is afraid I’ll hold you back, asking me to keep my distance.”
“Not only that, Montgomery also cares about the future of the Pearce family, worried I can’t properly train the Blade Special Forces, hindering Mr. Pearce’s promotion, and he wants me to resign from The Edge Facility today.”
“Such comprehensive care, isn’t it moving?”
“How did it turn into me speaking well for him?”
“I’ll be damned…” Montgomery Crane, hearing Flynn say this, was taken aback.
Hadn’t expected Flynn to be so unprincipled, turning a man-to-man talk into a report to Callie Pearce?
How despicable!
Upon seeing Flynn complain, the fierce man’s eyeballs almost popped out. Is this the character of the general instructor of Blade Special Forces? Must he rely on a woman to stand up for him?
It’s truly embarrassing!
Montgomery Crane whispered angrily, “Kid, you’re slandering me, I didn’t just…”
“Enough!” Callie Pearce’s face immediately darkened as she coldly looked at Montgomery Crane and said, “You’re supposed to be a Grandmaster, and that’s the extent of your composure?”
“Just because my grandfather rejected you, you find ways to trouble the Pearce family? To take revenge on us?”
Flynn grinned and said, “Callie Pearce, there’s something off about your words just now. Who said that a Grandmaster must be magnanimous?”
“Even university professors can be scum, and cultivators are no different?”
“Some people are just rotten to the core, and even if they become deities and fly, they still stink.”
Montgomery Crane glared at Flynn fiercely, then hurriedly said to Callie Pearce, “Everyone knows that if The Edge doesn’t improve this year, Mr. Pearce will be forced to retire. This year is crucial, Flynn can’t save Mr. Pearce, only I can!”
“I’m asking Flynn to step down as the general instructor of The Edge purely for Mr. Pearce’s sake!”
Seeing Callie Pearce side with Flynn, the fierce man grew increasingly irritated and advised, “Ms. Pearce, Flynn, a Semi-Grandmaster, may boast all he likes, but he won’t much improve The Edge; after all, his strength is evident.”
“If Mr. Pearce wishes for redemption, the only option now is to appoint Montgomery Crane as the general instructor.”
Callie Pearce frowned and stared at the fierce man, asking, “Who are you?”
Seeing Callie Pearce taking notice of him, the fierce man was overjoyed and hastily replied with a smile, “I’m from the Crimson Dragon Gang. Our boss has a good relationship with your uncle; they even had dinner together a few days ago.”
As the Pearce family ranks among the top in Niarak, he must show sufficient respect to the daughter of the Pearce family.
Callie Pearce’s expression cooled, and she squinted, saying, “Since you know about my uncle’s relationship with Devin Donovan, do you think a dog like you has a say here?”
Boom!
Devin Donovan was instantly startled.
Thinking that Callie Pearce appreciated his opinion and wanted to praise him, he hadn’t expected that she was actually disgusted by his chatter!
With this thought, he quickly bowed his head and took two steps back, no longer daring to speak.
Seeing Callie Pearce lose her temper, Flynn was also startled, but with a touch of amusement, he laughed, “I hadn’t noticed before, but you’re quite fiery.”
“They insult Mr. Clark, I naturally won’t accept it!” Callie Pearce pouted, looking both angry and somewhat cute.
“Alright, I’m not that upset, so don’t be angry, come walk with me,” Flynn gently patted Callie Pearce’s waist, smiling.
This action directly ignited Montgomery Crane, making his anger soar.
This kid disregards my words? And he dares to touch Callie Pearce’s waist with his filthy hands?
“Good! Very good! Excellent!” Montgomery Crane’s eyes slightly narrowed, his murderous intent barely contained.
“Good? What’s good about it?” Flynn, seeing Montgomery Crane’s face turn as dark as charcoal, feigned ignorance, pointing at the pomegranates in Callie Pearce’s hand, asked, “Are you talking about these pomegranates?”
“Yes, indeed, they look perfectly ripe and split open, must be sweet,” Flynn remarked.
“Callie, I’d like to try some.”
“Since Mr. Clark wants to eat, I’ll peel one for you,” Callie Pearce quickly took a pomegranate, peeled it, and handed a dozen juicy seeds to Flynn with her slender, jade-like hands.
Watching Flynn’s lips contact Callie Pearce’s pale tender hands, and his face showing pleasure, Montgomery Crane’s eyes nearly burst from their sockets, his brain about to explode.
Flynn was deliberately slapping his face!
What was most despairing was that Callie Pearce looked at him with eyes full of adoration!
Montgomery Crane could only imagine that if Flynn wished, he could share a room with Callie Pearce tonight!
What could be more painful than seeing something one desperately desires so easily obtained by another?
