LittleNovelChapter 147: As soon as Marc concluded his remarks, Terry added, "Mr. Connor Daniels is a legitimate business mogul. We serve as his chief bodyguards and have never done anything immoral or violated a single regulation of Doomsday Base!" Aelfric narrowed his eyes fiercely. He hated anyone who didn't follow his words. Without Black Mallow holding the position of chief instructor, Aelfric would have been the uncontested force in Doomsday Base, second only to King. He would have surely disciplined Marc and Terry sternly. However, Black Mallow's presence in Doomsday Base, especially with her high status, forced Aelfric to restrain himself. He quietly suppressed his anger and scolded Marc and Terry once more "You may not have broken Doomsday Base's rules or tarnished its reputation, but your actions could still draw enemies to us. What if Amiri starts to resent Doomsday Base because of you? Are you prepared to handle that? Having trained in Doomsday Base, you should prioritize the organization's interests over your personal benefits, right?" Marc and Terry felt unjustly treated. "Mr. Warren, you are being unreasonable. Doomsday Base is merely the facility where we trained. Our future careers are ours to shape independently, and they shouldn't reflect back on the training ground. Everyone knows this. How could Amiri possibly blDoomsday Base for our actions?" "Many top graduates from Doomsday Base are now bodyguards for prominent figures, and all of them have enemies. Should we resign simply because our employers have formidable enemies? If word gets out, who would dare to hire graduates from Doomsday Base? We've been employed by Mr. Connor Daniels for years, earning a yearly salary of a million dollars. Now that Mr. Connor Daniels needs us, how can we possibly abandon our positions? To be honest, we're prepared to lay down our lives for him." "We believe our jobs won't cause trouble for Doomsday Base. On the contrary, we see it as a chance to enhance the legacy of Doomsday Base. We aim to show the world that those trained at Doomsday Base are courageous, not cowards." Marc and Terry's impassioned plea left Aelfric without words, his face turning a shade of deep red. It was clear Aelfric couldn't persuade Marc and Terry. He then turned to Marissa, hoping she might influence them to sever ties with Connor Marc and Terry were among the elite from Doomsday Base. Though they were not on par with formidable warriors like Black Snake and Lone Wolf, their strength was undeniable. Losing them would be a significant blow to Connor However, Black Mallow, the chief instructor, raised her hands and clapped for Marc and Terry. Her deliberate, resonant applause clearly conveyed her steadfast support. "Marc and Terry perfectly embody the spirit of Doomsday Base. They are absolutely right!" Marissa commended them Aelfric, clearly upset, attempted to argue, "But..." Marissa quickly cut him off, saying, "Aelfric, you're the deputy chief instructor of Doomsday Base, trusted by King to run this base. Is that the extent of your bravery?" Aelfric was visibly embarrassed by her question. Marissa scoffed and continued, "Doomsday Base trains the finest international warriors in ancient martial arts. If they crumble in fear because of Amiri, what will their future influence be? Aelfric, I'm beginning to question your suitability to manage the base." At this, Aelfric, fearing the loss of his position, promptly acknowledged his mistakes. “I've been overly protective of the base. I see my mistake now. Please, don't be upset."
Considering his long tenure at the base, Marissa wasn't about to dismiss him outright; his high m is standing there made her cautious. She needed a solid reason to remove the bad apple without causing disruption. Marissa responded calmly, "I'm glad you recognize your mistake. I'll forgive you this time.”
Aelfric exhaled in relief. However, before he could fully relax, Marissa stood and suggested, "Aelfric, today seems like an ideal moment for a an sparring match between us. Shall we?" Though she couldn't kill the troublemaker just yet, it was necessary that she taught him a lesson!
