Chapter 1575:
Satisfied that she had achieved her goal, Harlee said calmly, âAfter half a month, Iâll personally train the recruits and have them engage in jungle combat with a team I form. My only requirement is that the recruits donât lose too miserably.â
Rhys found her words intriguing, and his striking eyes were contemplative as he asked, âDo you intend to choose the members from Twilight to form the team?â
Harleeâs lips curved into a knowing smile.
âOf course. Iâll take my pick from the strongest.â
Aldrich froze, then hesitated before asking in a low voice, âHarlee, just so Iâm clear⦠What exactly counts as not losing too miserably?â
âThat depends on my mood.â
After saying that, Harlee ended the call, sent Aldrich an address, and demanded he be there within three days.
Aldrich read the message and fell into silence. Right now, he didnât find living a life of luxury and idleness boring anymore.
In the living room of the Sanderson family villa, Harlee lay sprawled across the sofa, her head propped lazily on one hand. She was half-distracted by the variety show playing on the TV, occasionally opening her mouth so Rhys could feed her.
Kareem had just stepped inside when he caught sight of the scene. He raised an eyebrow and couldnât resist commenting, âHarlee, you might as well go train the recruits. Iâm getting a bit tired of your lovey-dovey routine!â
Years ago, the Sanderson family had all been worried that Rhys wouldnât treat Harlee right, and theyâd made a big fuss trying to keep them apart. Now, thinking back on it, Kareem couldnât help but chuckle, wishing he could shake some sense into his former self. Trying to break them up had been about as useful as bringing sand to the beachâcompletely pointless.

Rhys raised an eyebrow, glanced up, and said in an annoying tone, âIf youâre feeling uncomfortable, go find yourself a girlfriend!â
Kareem shot him a scowl but didnât bother to respond.
Harlee straightened up, mischief dancing in her eyes. A slow smirk tugged at one corner of her mouth as she announced, âIâm sending Aldrich to train the recruits for the next two weeks.â
âAldrich? Can he be trusted with that?â Kareem asked.
A faint smile tugged at Rhysâ lips as he casually said, âHis favorite thing is studying different tactics in jungle combat.â
Whenever Aldrich had a moment to spare, he would head to the remote mountains and forests to study various tactics. Naturally, he sometimes found a few unfortunate people to practice his skills on.
Today, Aldrich had initially planned to resume his usual study session on the deserted island. However, Harlee had assigned him a mission, and those six troublemakers who had crossed his path ended up as his subjects.
Harlee looked at Rhys with a satisfied smile. He was truly deserving of his reputation as the leader of âSovereign of the Underworld,â as he had an uncanny ability to understand the people around her.
Indeed, Aldrich was a master in his field. Sending him to train the recruits would be as effective as Harlee being there in person. Kareem was left speechless. Did his sister have anyone normal in her circle? Aldrich spent his free time studying jungle combat tactics and always concocting new tricks?
Well, all Kareem could do was hope that these recruits would transform into top-tier soldiers under the guidance of such an unconventional trainer and not disappoint anyone.
Kareem had heard that the recruits sent back earlier had become expert marksmen in their respective units. Now, he was eager to see how the last fifteen would fare. He was confident it would be a pleasant surprise.
Kareem pulled his thoughts back to the present and said, âThis is probably my last time at home for a while. Terrorists overseas are becoming restless, and I need to make sure all the country leaders are safe.â
