Hank was stunned. “Uh, General Wright, judging by Robin’s current status, he could barely be considered on par with my granddaughter. It’s fair to say he’s almost on the same level as us Millers.”
Martin’s expression darkened instantly. “Hah! Then tell me, where do the Wrights stand in comparison to the Millers?”
Hank trembled slightly, his voice faltering, “Well … compared to your family, we’re still a step below.”
Martin sneered. “Let me tell you this–the Wrights don’t even qualify to live in Villa One atop the mountain, but Mr. Ramsey does!
“I have no chance to acquire the priceless Pythoncrown, yet Mr. Ramsey possesses it effortlessly.
“The legendary Southstar, a treasure beyond anyone’s reach, is already in Mr. Ramsey’s hands.
“I was once on the verge of death and visited renowned doctors in search of a cure for my terminal illness. None could help me–except Mr. Ramsey, who saved my life!
- Ramsey is the savior of the Wrights!
“Even the so–called master of holistic medicine, Mr. Lennon, bows to Mr. Ramsey and calls him ‘Master‘!
“And yet, you think the Millers are on par with Mr. Ramsey? Do you believe you can match his status or background?
“You–a petty, B–lister family in Harmonfield–dare to compare yourselves to him? Who gave you such arrogance?
“Let me make it clear–you and Mr. Ramsey are worlds apart. Your granddaughter doesn’t deserve to be anywhere near him. Now step aside!”
At Martin’s command, two guards shoved Hank aside.
Alice rushed up to Freya in a panic. “Ms. Wright! Please listen to me!”
Tears streaming down her face, Alice stammered, “I … I’ve always loved Robin deeply. Back then, I only wanted to play a harmless joke on him, to test him. I never intended to break off the engagement!
“Ms. Wright, you know me. I’ve always been faithful in matters of love. I’d never betray my feelings or be intimate with another man.
“I tore up the engagement contract as a way to test his devotion. I wanted to see how much he truly cared for me.
“But… but he misunderstood. Please, tell Robin I love him sincerely. I accept the engagement now–please tell him to come fulfill it!”
Freya sneered. “Ms. Miller, let’s get one thing straight. When you ended the engagement, it wasn’t some ‘test‘ like you claim. It was because you looked down on him.
“You thought he was a nobody–a penniless man with no status, no connections, no future.

“And now you claim this was all part of some test? The truth is, Robin didn’t break down under your so-
called test.
“Instead, it’s you and your family who have collapsed in disgrace. And the entire city is watching your pathetic behavior with amusement!”
“No! Ms. Wright, you’ve misunderstood!” Alice exclaimed in desperation.
Freya shook her head, her tone icy, “I just watched the footage of your engagement to Mr. Gill. Do I need to show it to you?”
With a tap on her phone, Freya played the video.
Onscreen, Alice stood in a wedding dress, arm–in–arm with Zachary, addressing Robin with a sneer.
Looking down on everyone like a queen, she sneered. “Robin, from today on, I’m Mrs. Gill, Forget about any foolish ideas of winning me over!
member this–I’m a woman you’ll never be able to reach. You’ll never have me in your life!”
Freya turned to Alice, her voice dripping with sarcasm, “Mrs. Gill, need I remind you? You’re already engaged to Zachary. I’d never interfere with someone else’s marriage. Take care of your own business.”
Alice protested weakly, “It’s not what you think, Ms. Wright! I never saw Zachary that way. The Gills are beneath me!”
Freya ignored her and opened another clip.
In the video, Alice stood before Robin, mocking him cruelly, “Robin, you’ll never measure up to Zachary. You’ll never become as successful and wealthy as he is!
“You’re nothing but a worthless loser, and I’ll never waste my time on someone like you!”
Alice’s tears flowed freely. “Ms. Wright, those videos don’t tell the whole story! It was all part of my plan to test Robin. I’d give up everything to be with him, even live a quiet, humble life in the countryside. That’s all I want!”
Freya snorted. “Hah! Robin isn’t destined for some obscure, quiet life. He’s a man meant for greatness- someone who belongs in the upper echelons of society
“He started at a level you’ll never reach, and he’s only rising higher. Be realistic. Accept your fate and live your simple life in peace!”
Alice’s eyes glimmered with longing. “No! Ms. Wright, I can adapt! I love the luxurious lifestyle too.
“I can change for Robin. I’ll learn to thrive in the spotlight, to live as someone admired and respected by all-”
Freya cut her off sharply, “Enough, Alice. Stop fooling yourself. Robin is far beyond your reach. Move aside!”

As Alice stood frozen in shock, Talia walked by, smirking. “Ms. Miller, Mr. Robin won’t love you. He would rather love Colonel Wright than you!”
Freya’s cheeks reddened slightly, but she didn’t respond. A flicker of satisfaction shone in her eyes as she strode away.
Chapter 422 Forging the Future
Leading 20 armed soldiers in perfect formation, a major marched straight into the villa.

The 20 soldiers stood in twin straight rows, forming a human barricade that kept onlookers outside.
Lieutenant General Hunter Baxter, commander of the Special Operations Military Region, and his chief guard quickly approached a crowd of social media influencers and reporters.
“The Special Operations Military Region is about to commence a special operation. Everyone, please leave the villa immediately!
“And erase all video content from today involving Villa One!
“Any footage or written records of Robin Ramsey must be deleted at once!
“No platform is permitted to store this data. Execute these instructions immediately!
“The Special Operations Military Region Security Division, along with relevant authorities, will strictly

arson, Drake, and the Millers were also escorted outside to wait.
The scene was cleared!
Freya and Talia approached Robin, saluted, and said, “Robin Ramsey, the Draconia Special Operations Military Region Headquarters approves your special enlistment in the Zone Three War Wolf Special
Forces!
“Lieutenant General Hunter Baxter, Commander of the Special Operations Military Region, and Major General Caleb Walker, Chief of Staff, will now conduct a special commissioning ceremony for you!”
After announcing the start of the ceremony, Freya jogged over to stand before Hunter and Caleb.
“Reporting, Generals! Colonel Freya Wright, the deputy commander of the Draconia Special Operations Military Region Zone Three War Wolf Special Forces, has delivered the commissioning orders to Robin Ramsey. Please proceed with the ceremony!”
After saluting, Hunter and Caleb marched over to Robin.
In a serious tone, Caleb said, “Robin Ramsey, prepare to receive orders. The Special Operations Military Region Headquarters’s commissioning ceremony now officially begins!
“Special Order SSS from the Special Operations Military Region. Robin Ramsey is formally assigned to the Warwolf Unit into Zone Three War Wolf Special Forces!
“The order: Appoint Robin Ramsey as Chief Instructor of the Special Operations Military Region Zone Three War Wolf Special Forces, with the rank of Major General!
“We now present you with the M18 Officer’s pistol and the Dragon Soul Sword!

After saluting, the two guards received a uniform adorned with a shining star from Talia and helped Robin into it.
Hunter handed Robin the pistol and sword and presented the appointment documents and the official commissioning certificate.
“As your commanding officer, I now order Major General Ramsey to join the Zone Three War Wolf Special Forces immediately!”
Robin accepted the commissioning certificate and the appointment documents.
Under the bright sun, Robin stood tall, the star on his uniform gleaming.
With the special commissioning ceremony complete, the two Draconia Special Operations Military
gion Headquarters generals turned and exited the villa.
With Freya, Talia, and two guards by his side, Robin also began walking outside.
Hank, who had been waiting outside the villa, caught sight of Robin from afar, dressed in a major general’s uniform. He felt a moment of awe.
The imposing figure and the gleaming stars on his shoulders were all so majestic under the bright sunlight!
His whole body trembled, and he couldn’t hold back his excitement as he shouted, “That … that should be Alice’s husband!
“The Millers finally have a general! Hahaha!
“Robin, I beg you–marry my granddaughter Alice!”
Hank tried to chase after him, but two guards held him back.
“Robin, please, just listen to me for one minute! I’ll even bow down!”
Hank dropped down, sobbing. “I know I was wrong, Robin. I’ve been wrong this whole time!
“Please, in honor of the bond I once shared with your grandfather, forgive me. I promise I’ll treat you right
from now on.”
Hank’s desperate plea moved many bystanders to pity. After all, seeing a man of his age begging like this
struck a chord.
Robin paused, then slowly turned around.
Alice, tear–streaked, ran up behind him.
With tears streaming down her face, she looked at Robin in his imposing general’s uniform and cried,

“Robin, I’m sorry. I was so foolish before. Please forgive me and Grandpa.
“We were meant to be together before we were even born. Please, don’t leave me!
“You know me. Deep down, I’ve always loved you.
“When I was little, Grandpa told me I had a fiancé named Robin.
“Back then, I imagined what you’d be like.
“And I decided you must be a true hero, a man among men!
“Seeing you today, in that uniform, it feels like a dream come true!
“Robin, you’re exactly who I dreamed about all those nights!
“Please, forgive me. We can get married immediately, and I’ll give you as many children as you want.”
Robin chuckled, replying, “I cut ties with the Millers long ago. None of this means anything to me.
my world, the word ‘forgive‘ doesn’t exist.
When you miss a chance in life, you miss it forever.”
With that, he climbed into a military vehicle alongside Freya and Talia, joining a convoy that roared down the mountain road.
Alice collapsed, watching the line of powerful vehicles disappear, weaving through the bends of the mountain road until they vanished into the bustling distance of Dawnspire Mountain.

Robin sat comfortably in the military Jeep, dressed sharply in his general’s uniform. Freya and Talía sat silently on either side of him as the vehicle rolled smoothly down the mountain from Dawnspire Mountain.
The silence continued until Robin suddenly removed his cap and shrugged off the uniform jacket. “I’m ditching this uniform–I just can’t stand the stiff fit,” he said, grinning.
Freya looked at Robin in his current state. She smiled, saying, “General Ramsey, with your build and presence, you look incredibly handsome and powerful in that military uniform. You’ve got the natural aura of a soldier.”
Talia, sitting opposite, gave him a sideways glance, rolling her eyes but staying quiet.
She thought to herself with a sneer, Hmph, if it weren’t for that old man Jack stopping me last time, I would’ve already caught you.
Look at this guy’s carefree attitude. I couldn’t understand how he could wear that general’s uniform. Is he some rich heir who used his connections to earn a position? Or maybe he’s Freya’s boyfriend?
mph! The position of Chief Instructor of the War Wolf Special Forces isn’t something anyone can just take. I’m curious to see just how capable you are, Robin, to stick around in the War Wolf Special Forces!
Though I just recently joined the War Wolf Special Forces myself, I can’t stand people who use their family’s influence to sneak into the military and ride on their family name!
Robin shrugged nonchalantly. “I’ve never been a fan of these uniforms. They’re stiff and uncomfortable.”
Talia muttered under her breath, “Maybe you’re just nervous about stepping into the War Wolf Special Forces.”
Robin raised an eyebrow. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Oh, nothing, General,” she said, in a tone barely hiding her challenge. “Just a reminder: only real soldiers can stick it out in the special forces. The War Wolf Special Forces isn’t exactly made for half–hearted attempts.”
Robin chuckled. “I’m not half–hearted, and I’m not exactly ‘normal, either.”
Talia’s brow furrowed. “Well, you’re no career soldier. It takes actual skill to make it here, not family connections.” She flashed him a look, practically daring him. “We’ll see if you can handle it without being kicked out.
“Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if someone else knocks you out.”
Robin gave a sideways glance at the defiant Talia. “I’m the new Chief Instructor of the War Wolf Special Forces! No one’s born who can knock me out!
“There’s less than ten days until the final round of the military competition,” he continued. “And I’ll remind you, your skills are still way off!
“If the War Wolf Special Forces can’t make it past this, I’m afraid you’ll be out of the team before you even

“Oh, right, you’re different. If you can’t stay in the War Wolf Special Forces, you can always return to your old position.
“You still have your old man, who heads the Investigation Division 7.
“Look at you now. Do you even
Ook like a soldier? Sit up straight!”
“Yes, sir!” Talia immediately straightened up, too afraid to say another word.
Freya, watching Robin and Talia, secretly smiled.
At that moment, her encrypted satellite phone rang. After hanging up, Freya’s expression turned serious. “General Ramsey,” she said.
Robin waved his hand. “Just call me Robin. It’s more comfortable.”
Freya’s cheeks flushed. “Robin, I have an urgent task to handle.”
he handed the order to Talia. “Major Cross, I’m assigning you as General Ramsey’s special assistant. You’ll
company him to the War Wolf Special Forces’s Wallaby Mountain Training Center.
“Once there, you’ll deliver the command regarding General Ramsey’s appointment to Commander Colton. I’ll be back at the training center the day after tomorrow.”
“Yes, Colonel Wright!” Talia took the order, glancing at the officer’s code and curling her lips.
Freya then switched to a military vehicle, speeding off.
Inside the car, it was just Talia and Robin.
Neither spoke, and the silence hung heavy in the air.
Robin leaned back in his seat and shut his eyes, falling asleep.
Talia sat up straight, her back rigid.
She glanced at Robin, who was comfortably asleep in his seat and gave him a glare. Hmph! Look at you. You don’t look like a soldier at all.
It must be as I thought–this rich kid probably came to the army just to earn some experience.
When we get to the War Wolf Special Forces, I’ll see how much real skill you actually have!
They drove silently for 2 hours before reaching the foot of the Wallaby Mountain, about 30 miles from the provincial city.
After passing through two checkpoints, they finally entered the War Wolf Special Forces’s Brookhaven training base.
The command vehicle couldn’t enter the training center; it could only drop them off at the gate.
Robin and Talia walked toward the center.

It was the lunch break at the training center, and everything was quiet. The scorching sun cast an uneasy heat over the place.
Finally unable to hold it in any longer, Talia blurted out, “Robin!”
Robin stopped walking. “Call me General.”
“Then I’ll call you Chief Instructor!” Talia glared at him and gritted her teeth.
“Fine, what’s on your mind?” Robin gave her a quick glance, noticing her curvy figure, and smiled.
“I’ll remind you, this is the War Wolf Special Forces. You can’t just come here and earn some experience casily.
“Especially not when the War Wolf Special Forces is going through such a critical moment.
“You probably already know, but if the War Wolf Special Forces don’t make a breakthrough in this competition, the military district might just disband us entirely.
“I seriously suspect you’re the son of some major military leader, coming to the army just to get
dentials. Am I right?”
Robin didn’t expect Talia to be thinking along those lines. He chuckled, “Guess.”
Talia snorted. “If you think this is a place where you can just cruise through, we’ll see about that!”
With that, she turned and strutted forward, her hips swaying as she walked.
Robin, without hesitation, gave her a playful slap on the backside.
Smack!
Talia froze for a moment.
Robin pursed his lips. “Who gave you the right to be so disrespectful to a General?”
“You… how dare you slap my butt?!” Talia’s face turned bright red with anger.

Talia was almost losing it. Robin actually smacked her on the butt?

This wasn’t the first time he crossed the line–last time at that Hot Pot Haven, he tried to pull a gun near her chest but ended up grabbing, well, you know.
Her face went red as she stomped her foot, furious. “You’re such a jerk!”
Robin shrugged nonchalantly. “Disrespect a superior again, and I’ll do it again.”
He looked her up and down. “You’re one of those spoiled princess types who thinks she’s too good for everyone else, right? How exactly do you think you’ll last in War Wolf, the most elite combat team? Try any of that attitude here, and I’ll kick you right out.”
“You…” Talia wanted to retort but bit her tongue.
She knew Robin certainly had that right.
This guy had a certain mystique–who knows, he might actually be able to get her kicked out of War Wolf.
And if that happened, it’d be trouble.
She’d worked so hard to join War Wolf Special Forces, a dream she’d had for years. No way was she leaving without a fight.
“Fine, you… you wait and see!” Talia pointed at Robin, fuming.
“Are you threatening your superior?” Robin raised his hand.
Talia immediately covered her backside and took a step back. “No more hitting my butt!”
“Hahaha!” Four lieutenants walked out of the training center, laughing loudly as they pointed at Talia.
Robin recognized these four lieutenants.
They were the same guys who’d shown up at the Westland Hotel that night when Rosalie hosted the dinner.
The four lieutenants burst into laughter, nearly doubled over as they watched Talia nervously clutching her backside.
“Sigh! War Wolf’s really gone downhill. Seems like anyone can get in these days!” Mark Langdon, one of the lieutenants, sized up Talia in her War Wolf Special Forces uniform adorned with a colonel’s insignia, shaking his head in mock disdain.
Zephyr Jerad scoffed with a smirk.
“No idea how a spoiled little princess like you managed to climb to the rank of colonel. People like you are a disgrace to War Wolf.”
Derrick Myrad sneered, “Some just want to bask in the glory War Wolf used to have.”

Farcas Ivander nodded. “These people just want to pad their records while War Wolf is still around.”
Mark chuckled. “There aren’t any risky missions right now. After they grab some credentials here, they’ll go back and brag, maybe even get promoted straight to colonel or brigadier general.”
Talia shot them a furious glare. “Lieutenant Langdon, are you mocking your superior?
“You’re all just lieutenants, and you dare act brazenly in front of a colonel!
“According to military regulations, you all should be confined!” Talia snapped. “Now salute your superior and apologize!”
Mark, Zephyr, Derrick, and Farcas were taken aback momentarily before they burst into laughter.
“Rank doesn’t mean anything here in War Wolf, and we don’t care about who you are outside these walls. Once you step in here, the one with the skill calls the shots!”
“You said the one with the skill calls the shots … ?” Talia hesitated slightly.
These four lieutenants were some of the most elite fighters in War Wolf’s Special Forces, each a master of hand–to–hand combat and a top performer in every military drill.
They were War Wolf’s battle–hardened elite–not the kind she could afford to provoke.
But this was a hard pill to swallow. After all, she’d fought fiercely to earn her place in the Security Bureau Seven’s Investigation Division.
And the colonel’s uniform she wore? That was earned, fair and square, through blood and sweat!
How could she tolerate such humiliation!
Talia hesitated briefly, then instinctively turned to look at Robin.
Robin raised an eyebrow. “When faced with a challenge, what does a true soldier need?”
“To draw their sword!” Talia immediately straightened up, her spirit renewed.
She pointed at the four lieutenants and shouted, “You four, you’re nothing but a bunch of thuggish soldiers!
“So what if I showed up late? I’m still part of War Wolf. Who’s here to pad their résumé?
“I joined War Wolf with nothing but my fists!
“If you don’t accept that, let’s settle it right here!
“And if you lose, you’ll salute and apologize!”
With that, Talia clenched her fists and charged toward the four lieutenants.
Mark and the others laughed, dodging her punches and kicks as if they were watching a child flail around. It was effortless.
“With skills like those, you’re only fit to mess around in the Investigation Division 71

“If you went on a mission with War Wolf, you wouldn’t make it back! Better go back and enjoy the relaxing life of a desk officer, Ms. Cross!”
Furious, Talia’s face flushed as she swung her fists wildly, launching one attack after another, desperate to hit one of them.
But Mark and the others just dodged her, grinning, barely needing to lift a finger.
She moved frantically, but her punches couldn’t land a single blow.
“Alright, enough monkeying around.
“Ms. Cross, go back while you still can. This isn’t the place for you.”
Exhausted, Talia finally stopped, standing there, panting heavily in frustration.
Then, Mark pointed at Robin with a smirk. “Hey, Ms. Cross, is that your boyfriend?”
“Look at him. He’s probably some big–shot son, here to snag a few achievements, too, huh?” Zephyr sneered, “Didn’t we teach you a lesson last time at Westland Hotel? Are you here to ask for trouble?
“Let’s settle this in the sparring gym. That way, no rules get broken. Dare to go?” he challenged.
Talia hesitated. “Wait, you know each other?”
“Mark, you’d better not mess around–he’s the new chief instructor!” she warned.
The four lieutenants paused, sizing up Robin, then burst into laughter.
“Him? Chief instructor at War Wolf? No way. War Wolf must really be done for!” Mark mocked.
Robin chuckled. “No wonder War Wolf’s such a mess!
“So, War Wolf is made up of losers without honor.”
“Who are you calling losers?” Mark and the others flared up, pointing at Robin and shouting angrily.
Robin raised an eyebrow, smirking. “I’m calling you guys losers. Got a problem with that?”

Mark and the others froze.
No one had ever dared to insult War Wolf Special Forces like this.
Did someone actually have the guts to call them trash?
Even Talia was taken aback. She hadn’t expected Robin to throw out such incendiary words.
But she couldn’t deny it–it felt incredibly satisfying.
Since joining War Wolf, she’d been mocked by them countless times, unable to vent her anger because of her limitations.
She silently hoped Robin would give Mark and his crew a solid lesson.
However, fighting outside the combat training hall was a violation and could get them thrown in the brig.
The consequences for such a violation were severe–it could even lead to being expelled from the War Wolf Special Forces.
Talia didn’t want Robin to get in trouble so soon after joining War Wolf, especially not over something she was involved in.
She quickly stepped forward. “If you want to fight, go to the combat training hall!”
War Wolf had
a
rule.
Anyone in the Special Forces could challenge someone to a duel. If the other party accepted, they could settle it in the combat training hall under official rules.
“I’m telling you,” Talia said, pointing at Mark and the others, “Robin is the new chief instructor appointed by the Military Command Headquarters. If you want to challenge him…”
She paused for a moment, hesitating.
She wondered if Robin’s abilities matched those of Mark and his special forces crew.
Before leaving, Freya had appointed Talia as Robin’s personal assistant.
If anything went wrong after Robin joined War Wolf, it would be hard for Talia to explain it to Freya.
But now, the situation has reached this point. If they didn’t try to fight, they would be humiliated.
The Military Command Headquarters wouldn’t have appointed Robin the chief instructor unless he had some fundamental skills.
At the very least, his combat abilities should surpass Talia’s.
With renewed confidence, she said, “Mark, are you guys too scared to go to the combat training hall?”
“What’s there to be scared of? Let’s go right now!” Mark sneered, his tone dismissive.

Robin glanced at Talia, noticing the eager look in her eyes, and gave a light chuckle. “They’re not worth my time.”
Talia was left speechless.
At this point, if he didn’t step up, it would be too embarrassing.
Talia glared at Robin, her frustration evident. “You’re not going to fight them?”
Robin gave a casual smile, his tone indifferent, “Of course, we’re going to fight. How can War Wolf survive if we don’t teach these four a lesson?”
Talia was confused. “If you’re not going to fight, who will teach them a lesson?”
Mark and the others were equally puzzled by Robin’s words. They instinctively glanced behind him.
But there was no one there.
“You’re not going to fight? Are you trying to use your rank to intimidate us?” Zephyr sneered, his voice dripping with disdain. “If that’s the case, then we’re not wasting time with you!”
“Rank? Rank doesn’t mean a d*mn thing!” Robin scoffed, his voice cold.
The others were still trying to figure out what Robin meant.
Robin pointed at Talia. “You go to the combat training hall and fight them.”
“What?” Talia was instantly flustered.
What the hell?
Didn’t you see what just happened? I can’t beat them!
Now, you want me to go to the combat training hall and face off against those four?
Is this some setup to make me embarrass myself in front of all the War Wolf soldiers?
Robin’s voice turned serious. “What’s the most important duty for a soldier when faced with a challenge?”
Without thinking, Talia replied reflexively, “Report, sir–draw your sword!”
“Well, there you go,” Robin said, turning and heading toward the combat training hall.
Talia stood there, stunned for a moment, before quickly following him.
She seriously suspected that this guy was trying to make her look bad!
“Fine! If you want me to go, I’ll go!” Talia gritted her teeth and followed Robin toward the combat training hall.
Mark and the others were equally confused, standing there momentarily before one of them pointed at Robin and shouted, “You! Stop right there! Are you scared?

Robin smirked. “You’re trash because you are trash. I’m not fighting because you’re not worth my time!” He paused for a moment.
“And let me correct something. There are no men or women here. There are only soldiers.”
Robin gestured toward Talia. “When we get to the combat training hall, if you four can’t even beat someone from the Investigation Division 7, all you’ll prove is that you’re even worse than trash.”
Talia raised an eyebrow. Worse than trash? She felt something was off with Robin’s words.
So he’s calling me trash, too?!
That b*stard!
Who the hell is here to pad their résumé?!
I made it in based on my skills, not some cheap tricks!
Mark and the others glanced at the fuming Talia and shook their heads. “With her flower punches and fancy kicks, she wouldn’t even come close to touching us. How’s she gonna fight?”
“We won’t even need to lift a finger–she’ll wear herself out alone!” they laughed.
Robin raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips. “Did you see her just now? That wasn’t fighting. That was warming up.
“Those silly moves she did, kicking and flailing around li

Soon, 50 soldiers from the War Wolf Special Forces arrived at the combat training arena. Word had spread that the new recruit, Talia, was challenging the 4 elite fighters, and everyone was excitedly buzzing,
As Talia stepped into the combat training arena, she stood tall and poised in the center of the platform.
Her beauty and commanding presence instantly drew attention, with the soldiers whistling and shouting in appreciation.
S
Since the formation of War Wolf, Talia was only the second female member to join, the first being Freya
Talia pointed at Mark and the others. “Which one of you is stepping up first?”
Before Mark could speak, Robin’s indifferent voice cut through the air. “Let all four of them come at once.”
“Huh?” Talia was taken aback, her eyes widening in disbelief.
She turned to Robin’s emotionless face, a deep line of frustration crossing her mind.
This b*stard is doing this on purpose!
I couldn’t beat one of them, and now you want them to all gang up on me?
I seriously suspect this guy is trying to embarrass me!
But now that I’m already here, backing out is not an option.
Alright then, let’s do this!
Robin eyed Talia, noticing her hesitation. “Are you scared? If you’re scared, admit defeat.”
“Who’s scared?! Four against one? Fine, I’ll take it!” Talia shouted, planting herself in front of the ring.
The atmosphere in the combat training arena was electric, with dozens of War Wolf Special Forces soldiers once again jeering and shouting in excitement
They cheered for Mark and his team, their voices filled with energy.
“Mark! Lieutenant Langdon!”
After a loud wave of cheers, Mark gestured for them to quiet down.
“Four against one? We can’t afford to lose face here! Ms Cross, I could knock you down with just one arm and a single move!”
Talia’s body trembled with anger, her fists clenched. “Then bring it on, all four of you!

Talia sneered. “So, you’re saying you’ll fight me alone?”
“Yes, four of us going after one woman? Are we even human if we do that?” Mark shook his head disdainfully at the soldiers watching from the sidelines,
“Fine. Let’s get started. Don’t come crying to me afterward!” Talia shot back, determined to face him head-
- on.
The soldiers cheered again, their excitement rising to a fever pitch.
Talia assumed her stance but could feel the tension building up inside her. She kept moving, shifting her posture, but couldn’t make the first move.
Though she tried to mask it, she knew her own strength. She was far from Mark’s level
But even if she couldn’t win, she would still fight with everything she had–if she had to fall, she would fall honorably!
Mark, seeing her hesitation, chuckled. “What are you doing, just posing? Are you trying to get your picture taken, Colonel Cross?”
He grinned as he watched her, taunting, “I can see it–you’re scared. Let me tell you, the worst thing in a fight is fear.
“Look at her legs shaking! If you’re scared, admit defeat!”
“Ha!” Talia’s face flushed with fury, and with a shout, she lunged forward, ready to charge at him.
Robin slapped Talia’s shoulder, his voice calm but commanding, “Keep your right arm straight!”
Before Talia could process the command, her body was launched forward with unstoppable force.
Her mind focused only on stretching her arm out as instructed.
Her pose resembled an influential, steel–like figure in the air, her right fist tightly clenched, aimed directly at Mark’s neck.
Mark, still sneering and underestimating her, didn’t see it coming.
In an instant, Talia’s fist collided with his neck with a loud, muffled thud.
Boom! The sound echoed through the gym.
Mark staggered, his eyes wide in shock, and then he crumpled to the ground, unable to get up.
Talia’s punch landed squarely on his carotid artery, sending him reeling.
Mark rolled his eyes a couple of times, then passed out cold.
The entire arena fell into a stunned silence.

Talia stood frozen in place, staring at her clenched fist, then at Mark, who lay motionless on the ground.
Nervously, she whispered, “Did I kill him?”
Zephyr and the others quickly rushed over to Mark.
“He’s breathing. He’s not dead,” they reassured her.
They began patting Mark’s back, and after a few coughs, he groggily came to. “What happened? Are we starting the match or what?”
Zephyr shook his head. “Starting? You’ve already been knocked out, buddy.”
“Boss, you just got knocked out by Colonel Cross.”
Still holding his sore neck, Mark grumbled in defiance, “That doesn’t count! She attacked me while I wasn’t ready!”
At this moment, Talia was still in a daze, looking at her fist in disbelief. “Hey, I won! I actually won! Haha.”
She quickly ran over to Robin, clenching her fist in triumph. “How’s that? I knocked him down with one punch!”
Robin nodded with a faint smile. “Hmm, good. Keep it up!”
Meanwhile, Mark had managed to stand up, pointing angrily at Talia. “That doesn’t count! I was careless just now!”
The crowd erupted in laughter.
“Mark, you’re embarrassing yourself! Get off the stage! There’s no time for ‘carelessness‘ on the battlefield -next!”
Zephyr and the others approached with grim expressions. “Mark, step aside. We can’t afford to lose more face.”
With a sigh, Zephyr stepped forward, cracking his knuckles. “I’ll take it from here!”
Unlike Mark, Zephyr wasn’t going to underestimate his opponent. He took a deep breath, getting himself mentally prepared for the fight.
Talia, on the other hand, stood tall and more confident than ever. She could feel the energy in her veins- it would be different this time.
Before Zephyr could even get into position, she stepped up and went for a high kick.
Zephyr caught her foot and tossed it back, throwing her off balance.
She stumbled, nearly falling, until Robin gently pushed her from behind, helping her steady herself.
“Huh? What’s going on?” Talia felt like her skills were as unpredictable as a switch–one moment solid, the next all over the place.
Just then, Zephyr charged at her like a tiger, fists ready to strike.

Talia was at a loss as she faced Zephyr’s fierce, tiger–like fists.
“Swallow’s Scissor Kick!” Robin shouted, landing a swift kick to her backside.

Talia shot into the air, Robin’s voice ringing in her ears She could almost feel the blood rushing as she
lirectly for Zephyr’s open spot.
With a flawless mid–air scissor kick, she locked her legs around Zephyr’s neck and slammed him hard to the ground.
The arena fell into stunned silence, the air so still you could hear a pin drop.
Dazed from Talia’s scissor kick, Zephyr’s head was spinning. This time, she’d truly thrown him down with such force that he couldn’t muster the strength to retaliate.
“I won again!” Talia took a moment to process, then cheered loudly, “I won again, thank you, Mr. Ramsey! Hahaha!”
In her excitement, she grabbed Robin’s hand, practically flying as she bounced with joy.
Zephyr lay on the ground, looking helplessly in Talia and Robin’s direction, shaking his head. This Talia was nothing like the seemingly sheltered young lady he’d met at the training center. Her skills, speed, and accuracy were top–tier.
However, her initial kick had been weak and sloppy, almost a whole level below her second move. But that, second kick had come out of nowhere, catching him completely off guard. Her second strike was a direct hit to his vulnerable spot, exploiting an opening he had no time to defend.
To find an opponent’s weak point and take them down in a split second–this was unquestionably the work of a master.
He recalled Talia’s earlier strike on Mark’s main artery and the second scissor kick that had taken him down, both moves perfectly executed to take out an enemy with a single strike.
For Zephyr, who’d faced real–life combat, Talia’s moves were nothing short of lethal.
These were techniques meant to kill on the battlefield. If she’d added just a bit more force to those moves, Mark could’ve been killed on the spot, his neck snapped in an instant.
Still sitting on the ground, Zephyr looked up at Talia, a flicker of fear in his eyes. At this moment, he barely recognized the high–ranking female officer from Investigation Division 7 standing before him. Had they seriously underestimated her?
She was nothing like the desk–bound, privileged soldier they had assumed her to be.
As Talia stood at the front of the arena again, the crowd of 50 War Wolf elite soldiers started shifting their support toward her.
Mark and the other three wore dark, grim expressions.
For four elite soldiers of War Wolf to be defeated by a single woman–what a disgrace,

Derrick shook his head. “Mark, didn’t you just say that if we had to gang up on her, we’d be garbage?”
“I don’t care about that anymore!” Mark snapped. “Didn’t you see her moves just now? Even with all four of us, we might not be able to beat her. So, let’s take her down together!”
The soles below jeered, “How embarrassing…”
Mark and the others ignored their pride, deciding to bring Talia down first–better that than face even greater humiliation.
In the next moment, Talia boldly charged right into the middle of the four.
A flurry of punches and kicks erupted, and Talia was quickly kicked out of the circle, staggering as she tried to regain her balance. She looked bewildered. “Huh? What just happened?
“Again!” Talia braced herself, scanning the four of them for any weaknesses.
Derrick shook his head. “What’s with all this jumping around? Are you messing with us?”
Robin, watching Talia hop around, couldn’t help but twitch. “Listen to my commands! Go straight in
With that, Talia sprang into action as if on a rush of adrenaline, dashing straight into the group of four. “Left hook at 30 degrees, right jab at 45 degrees, low front kick, backspin kick!”
Following Robin’s instructions, Talia moved swiftly among the four, weaving up and down. In an instant, she knocked all four to the ground.
A heavy silence blanketed the arena.
“Huh? I won again … !” Talia leaped up and down on the platform, cheering. “You guys are garbage!
and “Didn’t you say I came over from Investigation Division 7 just to make some extra cash? Well, get up fight me again! Come on!
“Mark, you were the loudest one trash–talking! You said that if I defeated you, you’d apologize and salute me. Now get up and do it!”
Mark and the others were overcome with shame. They hadn’t expected that, even together, they’d end up flat on the ground, beaten by Talia.
As Zephyr watched, he began to realize that Robin’s presence was in every move Talia made in the fight. The four of them turned their terrified gazes toward Robin, suddenly understanding who the real expert
was.
Talia was still fired up, raising her fists in victory on the platform. “So? Are you four ready to admit defeat? Which useless coach taught you these moves? With skills like that, how do you expect to make it to the battlefield?”
Hands on her hips, Talia taunted them loudly, her voice ringing through the eerily silent arena.
“Tell me who’s the garbage coach that trained you in this stuff?”

Talia slowly turned around to see a man in his 30s walking into the arena. It was none other than Mark’s combat coach, Ernest Rudwick.

For a moment, Talia was at a loss,
This colonel standing before her was none other than the legendary Ernest, one of the top four hand to hand combat experts in the entire military.
Erne
famous for having reached the final championship match in the military’s unarmed combar comp… on. He had only lost due to a minor mistake, taking second place instead. His skills were among the best in the army, and he was one of Talia’s heroes,
There was no way she could call Ernest “garbage
After a brief hesitation, Talia forced an awkward smile. Colonel Rudwick, I was just joking with Mark and the others. I’ve always admired you–I’d never dare call you garbage.
“Your skills are one of a kind in the entire military…
Ernest’s face darkened as he pointed at Mark and the others. “Is this a game to you? You just knocked these four down to the ground–was that supposed to be a joke?
“Instructor Rudwick, we were just sparring…“Talia fumbled for words, unsure what to say.
Ernest strode over to Mark, Zephyr, and the others, his voice ice–cold, “You fools. I’ve trained you to be diligent and disciplined, but instead, you get careless, thinking that just because you’re in the War Wolf Special Forces, you’re unbeatable!
“Get out there and look around–there are experts everywhere! With skills like yours, it wouldn’t be surprising if War Wolf got disbanded.
“Losing War Wolf’s designation would be the least of your worries. If this is how you perform on a mission, you’d end up as casualties!
“Now get up! Salute Colonel Cross immediately!”
Mark, Zephyr, and the others scrambled to their feet and stood at attention, giving Talia a crisp salute.
Talia returned the salute and then turned to introduce Ernest, “Instructor Rudwick, this is Major General Ramsey, newly appointed by the Special Operations Military Region Command Headquarters as the chief instructor of War Wolf Special Forces.”
At her words, every soldier in the arena instantly stood and saluted in respect to the major general. Mark and the others also straightened and saluted.
But Ernest raised an eyebrow. “Why didn’t I hear anything about this? Besides, the position of chief instructor for War Wolf Special Forces isn’t something just anyone can fill.
“If someone’s just using average skills and connections to pull some strings for a title, the soldiers of War Wolf won’t respect them!
“As far as I’m concerned, in War Wolf, there’s only one chief instructor, and that’s Major General Cage. He’ll always be our instructor.”

“So, you’re saying you’re not on board with this?” Robin lifted an eyebrow, locking eyes with Ernest.
Ernest looked Robin over, eyeing his youthful face with a sneer. “Mark and the others were right. I bet you’re just here to pad your resume and grab some accolades before War Wolf gets disbanded, so you can head back and get promoted.”
Robin’s voice turned cold, “Quite bold of you. Is that the way a subordinate speaks to a superior? Stand at attention!”
Ernest straightened his posture, though his face was full of disdain. “Sure, you can throw your rank and position around to make me bow, but in War Wolf, what we respect is strength.”
Robin let out a short, mocking laugh. “I reviewed the records submitted to me by Military Region. Seems like you once took second place in the entire army–is that enough for you to call yourself an expert?”
Ernest replied proudly, “Winning second place in the military’s combat competition is certainly an honor and proof of my skill! As far as I know, you have no such experience.”
Robin chuckled. “A hand–to–hand combat coach who only got second place? And you think that’s worth being so arrogant about?”
The training field fell silent, almost suffocatingly so.
Robin’s cold voice broke the stillness, “Do you know what a second–place finish means on the battlefield?”
Hearing his words, a spark lit up in Talia’s eyes, filling her with an intense determination.
In the quiet that followed, she answered firmly, “Sir, on the battlefield, second place means death!”
Ernest’s body tensed, a shudder running through him.
His eyes blazed with fury. “If that’s how you see it, then do you dare face me in a match?
“I’ll show you whether my second place means death or victory!”
“No problem.” Robin raised an eyebrow. “But someone who only got second place isn’t worth my time.
“Colonel Cross!”
“Yes, Sir!” Talia snapped to attention.
“I order you to take on this arrogant second–place finisher!”
“Yes, Sir!” Talia replied immediately.
Ernest was taken aback. “What? You want me to fight her?”
“What’s wrong?” Robin’s voice was cold. “She’s a colonel, and so are you. I could hear the disdain in your tone–who gave you the right to look down on her?
“Didn’t you just say that in War Wolf, only strength matters?
“Then show me exactly where your pride comes from!

After all, Ernest was the runner–up in the military’s combat competition, a genuine top–tier warrior.
“What’s the matter?” Robin’s voice deepened. “Do you get to choose your opponent on the battlefield?

enemy.
“When you face an enemy, there’s only one possible outcome–there can only be one winner!
“If you can’t defeat him, you’re as good as dead!”
“Yes, Sir!” Talia turned and saluted Ernest. “Colonel Rudwick, I challenge you. Do you dare to accept it?”
In that moment, Talia felt confidence and passion erupting within her like never before.
For the first time, she felt invincible.
Ernest, however, found himself caught in a difficult position.
If he refused Talia’s challenge, it would be humiliating. But if he, the second–best fighter in the entire military, engaged in a bare–handed fight against a newly appointed War Wolf female colonel–even if he won, it would be disgraceful.
“Colonel Rudwick, are you afraid?”
Ernest flared up. “Who says I’m afraid?”

The atmosphere in the combat training arena at Wallaby Mountain Training Center was thick with tension, like the air before a storm.
Fifty soldiers looked at Talia as if she’d lost her mind, stunned by her fearless challenge.
Ernest was known as the top hand–to–hand combat expert across the Seven Military Zones of the Special Operations Military Region. He was Wilson’s prized protégé.
Wilson, often called “Draconia’s God of War” within the Special Operations Military Region, was once one of War Wolf’s elite during his youth. He later became War Wolf’s chief instructor as a major general, eventually overseeing all training at the Special Operations Military Region headquarters as its lead training director, holding the rank of major general.
His mastery of hand–to–hand combat, military freefall parachuting, combat diving, sniping, and other special operations skills set the highest standard in the entire military. To this day, no one has broken his records.
Rumor had it that Wilson’s legendary accomplishments stemmed from training under one of Draconia’s top military figures early in his War Wolf career. This mysterious figure was none other than the war hero known as the Dragon of Draconia, the man behind the creation of elite special forces like Dragon Soul, Dark Panther, and War Wolf.
After Wilson left War Wolf, no one in the Special Forces had come close to Ernest’s skill level. The two chief instructors who succeeded Wilson were disappointments, focusing more on padding their resumes than upholding Wilson’s legacy. As a result, the position of chief instructor had remained vacant for a long time, with Ernest temporarily filling the role.
In War Wolf, Ernest held an almost unrivaled respect, approaching Wilson’s legendary status. Meanwhile, Talia was just a fresh recruit, a newcomer in a place where only strength commanded respect. Despite her high rank, she’d need to prove her skills and earn her place within War Wolf.
For Talia, a beginner, to challenge Ernest was unprecedented in War Wolf Special Forces‘ history.
Everyone assumed that Talia was setting herself up for failure. Ernest hadn’t wanted to waste his time on her, but after everything that had been said, he couldn’t back down. No matter the outcome, this match would be a loss for him. Winning against a rookie like Talia would bring him no glory.
“I want to fight you!” Ernest turned to Robin, his voice cold,
Robin raised an eyebrow. “I told you, second place doesn’t earn the right to fight me. If you want a match with me, you’ll have to defeat her first!”
Ernest’s face flushed with anger. If Robin hadn’t been his superior, he’d have taken a swing already.
“Fine! This will only take two seconds.” Ernest turned to Talia. “Let’s not waste time–let’s begin.”
In an instant, a surge of fierce energy filled the ring.
Talia felt an overwhelming pressure as she looked at Emest, her mind racing. He was the combat master she had long admired.

Before joining War Wolf, Talia had dreamed countless times of going up against these top fighters.
She never expected that she’d face the very best right when she arrived.
Now, as her dream came true almost too quickly, she couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. Sure, it was exciting–but realistically, she wasn’t even close to beating him.
Instinctively, she glanced at Robin and whispered, “I don’t think I can take on Instructor Rudwick.”
Robin replied coolly, “When you’re facing an enemy, you need to stay fully focused.
“Your first reaction should be to spot their weaknesses quickly!
“Everyone has a weakness, even the strongest opponent. Especially against someone as subpar as this.”
The audience fell into stunned silence, and Talia was equally taken aback.
Did Robin just call Ernest, the second–ranked combat champion in the military, “subpar“?
Ernest sneered as he heard Robin’s remarks. “Enough with the motivational pep talk. If you’re going to fight, let’s get to it!”
Ignoring him, Robin continued, “Once you find their weakness, what should you do?”
“Attack quickly and take them down in one move!” Talia answered immediately.
“Exactly, you’re doing great!” Robin smiled. “Remember, use your strengths against their weaknesses, and you’ll be the winner!”
“Alright!” Talia shouted, “But I don’t know Colonel Rudwick’s weakness!”
Robin shook his head. “Well, do you know his strengths?”
“Sir, Colonel Rudwick’s strengths are his sharp punches, extreme speed, and impressive power!” she answered without hesitation.
“But I don’t know his weak points! What should I do?”
Robin smirked, “Take a few hits first; that’ll tell you, won’t it?”
“Got it!”
Talia immediately got into position, ready to charge.
Seeing her fearless stance, Robin chuckled lightly. “You can’t just rush in during a fight. If his punches are sharp and he’s fast, then avoid his main strikes and aim for his openings. Now, where’s his opening?”
“His back!” she answered.
“And why his back?”
“When speed and power are that intense, the defense is always slower,” she replied confidently.
“Smart answer!” Robin said, giving her a playful kick. “Get started!”

“Ah!” Talia yelped as she stumbled forward, momentarily airborne, caught off guard by his sudden push.
Without hesitation, Ernest launched himself at her, determined to make an impression on Robin.
As he threw a fierce punch from six feet away, Talia could already feel the sharp force of his attack cutting hrough the air.
Robin had told her to avoid his main strikes and target his weak spots.
Without missing a beat, she rolled to the ground and aimed a kick at Ernest’s ankle.
Watching her move, Robin nodded approvingly.
But Ernest wasn’t like her previous sparring partners. He leaped up instantly to avoid her low kick, twisting mid–air to land a counter–kick aimed straight at her.

Staggering from the impact, Talia struggled to keep her balance, managing not to fall. She then retreated quickly back to Robin.
Robin gave her a nudge on the back, sending her forward once more.
Ernest threw a powerful punch, but Talia feinted, miraculously dodging his strike and slipping behind him again.
A flecting opportunity presented itself, and Talia seized it, swinging her palm toward the broad target of Ernest’s back.
Bang! With a heavy thud, her strike connected.
Missing his punch, Ernest’s momentum threw him off balance, and he stumbled forward several steps, nearly falling face–first onto the mat. He barely regained his footing with a quick flip.
Looking toward Robin, Ernest’s gaze blazed with fury. The only reason Talia was able to give him trouble twice was because of Robin’s guidance and support.
“What?” Talia glanced at her palm, then at the fuming Ernest–she’d scored a hit on him.
“Yes!” She shot Robin a triumphant fist pump, her confidence soaring.
So, even the top fighter in War Wolf wasn’t invincible.
Overflowing with excitement, Talia jumped up and laughed out loud. “Avoid their strength, attack their weakness–small force beats great force! Ha!”
Ernest’s expression was grim. “Hmph! Relying on technique will only get you lucky now and then! In real combat, victory depends on strength and speed.
“If I were even a bit faster, you wouldn’t have had a chance to dodge.
“Again!” Ernest launched himself at Talia with explosive force, like a cannonball.
Talia froze.
Ernest truly lived up to his reputation as an elite fighter; his speed was so overwhelming that she couldn’t react in time.
“Stay calm, counter his motion with stillness,” Robin said coolly.
In that split second, Talia grasped what he meant.
When facing someone faster, the best approach is to stay steady and wait.
Focusing intensely, Talia waited for Ernest’s punch to approach like lightning. At the last moment, she

Caught off guard, Ernest was shocked. He hadn’t expected her to evade his power and speed so quickly and then go straight for his legs.
With no other option, he flipped back into the air again to avoid her.
“Address the core issue,” Robin said casually.
Talia, quick–witted as ever, understood his instructions and rolled forward, sweeping her leg just as Ernest’s feet were about to touch the ground.
The moment Ernest landed, Talia’s sweeping kick struck. Caught off guard, unsteady, and with his moves exhausted, Ernest toppled to the ground.
Ernest lost.
The top fighter in the entire army, beaten by a beginner who had just joined War Wolf.
A brief silence fell over the arena before it erupted in gasps of shock.
Talia leaped to her feet, astonished that she’d found an opening to take Ernest down.
After a moment of excitement, she reached out to help him up. “Instructor Rudwick, I’m sorry…”
”
Ernest shook her hand off, his expression dark as he got up on his own. The instant he stood, he felt a sharp pain shoot through his ankle.
“Instructor Rudwick, are you okay? Should we go to the infirmary?” Talia asked, concerned.
“Move aside!” Ernest’s face flushed with anger as he took a step forward, pointing at Robin, who wore an amused smirk. “I want to fight you!”
The soldiers around them froze–Ernest’s pride was taking a real hit now.
Talia was also stunned. “Instructor Rudwick, Mr. Robin did say you’d have to beat me first if you wanted to challenge him.”
“Get out of my way!” Ernest roared, making Talia flinch. The respectful image she had of him shattered in an instant.
“Do you dare to face me?” Ernest demanded, seething, pointing at Robin.
“All you do is talk, quoting useless fighting books, acting like you know it all.
“War Wolf needs real combat ability, not empty words!
Robin shrugged. “Everyone just saw it–wasn’t that your so–called combat ability on display?
“If you can’t even beat a beginner like her, how are you going to fight me?
“You’re so incompetent that it’s no wonder War Wolf is about to be disbanded!

“Some ‘god of war,‘ training someone like you and still claiming the title? If I were him, I’d be embarrassed,” Robin sneered.
A cold voice cut through the tension, “Who dares to speak so arrogantly?” Silas Colton, commander of Draconia’s War Wolf Special Forces, strode into the arena, his face like thunder.
Following him were Lieutenant General Jack Grayson, Major General Xavier Blunt from the Special Operations Military Region’s War Games Division, Chief Instructor General Wilson Cage, and two other senior officers.
Ernest quickly ran up to them. “Master, sirs,” he greeted them respectfully.
Wilson’s expression was dark as he gestured toward Talia. “You lost to this newly enlisted female colonel?”
Ernest immediately lowered his head.
Robin let out a mocking laugh. “On the battlefield, there’s no gender, no newcomer or veteran. Lose, and you die.
“I’ve always wondered why War Wolf was so soft. Now I see it’s just full of people carrying their sense of entitlement around like a badge.”
Silas’s face twisted with anger. “You’re out of line!”
