Chapter 1530:

“Since neither of you seems serious about negotiating, we’ll reconvene another day.”

With that, Rhys stood and walked out, leaving the two factions exchanging bewildered looks.

Once outside, Brixton exhaled sharply, his nerves frayed.

“Rhys, are you sure it’s okay to leave like this?”

Rhys glanced at Brixton but didn’t respond. If this could be resolved so easily, he wouldn’t have bothered making the trip. Both the military and government were clearly plotting to edge him out of the deal and take the project for themselves. The nerve of them scheming against him! Since they wanted to play games, he’d show them he could play better. Letting them off without a fight wasn’t his style.

On the training grounds of the central military base, Kareem’s adjutant had been waiting patiently.

Upon Harlee’s arrival, the adjutant walked over and said, “Ms. Sanderson, the Major General regrets he can’t assist you at the moment. He’s busy preparing for the heads-of-state visit to Mogluylia in two months. But rest assured, he’s already made the necessary arrangements. You’re in charge of this training, and no one has the authority to challenge that.”

Harlee nodded slightly, her gaze drifting toward the soldiers sprawled on the lawn, exhausted from their drills.

The adjutant caught on and continued, “Since your departure yesterday, they’ve been training without rest, except for meals and three hours of sleep. Shall we check on them now?”

Harlee gave a curt nod, lowering her eyes briefly to send a message to Rhys.

Harlee and the others then took a cautious approach toward the area where the twenty soldiers were training. Harlee stood in the same spot as yesterday, arms crossed, her expression nonchalant.

Harlee lowered her eyes, glancing at the twenty soldiers who had been rather enthusiastic yesterday but were now absolutely fatigued and sprawled on the training ground’s lawn. It was March, but everyone was soaked in sweat.

Thiago and Alina stood just behind Harlee, their expressions unreadable. They’d been through Harlee’s training themselves and knew this was just a warm-up in her book.

The adjutant remained silent, leaving it to the soldiers to notice Harlee’s arrival. Lionel, barely catching his breath, was the first to spot her. His eyes widened, and he shouted, “Ms. Sanderson!”

The others, hearing his voice, scrambled to their feet, shouting in unison, “Ms. Sanderson!”

Every face was lit with relief and hope.

Lionel stepped forward, his voice loud and firm.

“Ms. Sanderson, we know we’re not worthy of your mentorship yet, but please believe us—we’ll give everything we’ve got to demonstrate our strength.”

Other soldiers quickly followed suit, saluting as they bellowed, “Ms. Sanderson, trust us! We’ll be the best soldiers under your command!” Every face displayed a strong determination.

Thiago and Alina exchanged a look, their sympathy evident. Having trained under Harlee, they knew what was coming. These soldiers had no idea what they’d signed up for.

Harlee narrowed her eyes, her gaze sweeping over their determined faces. A faint smirk played on her lips.

“The training will last three months. Pack your things. We leave this afternoon.”

“Yes!” their voices thundered, excitement surging through them. Harlee turned slightly, gesturing toward Thiago and Alina.

“These two will be your squad leaders.”
