Chapter 269: Chapter 269

Chapter 269:

Collin felt a sharp pain in his lower body as Harlee continued jogging without looking back, leaving him writhing in pain.

He cried out, “Ah!”

When dealing with fools, brute force was often more effective than reason.

Just then, Harlee’s phone lit up with an anonymous message. The message contained a fifteen-minute audio file.

Harlee played it, and as she listened, her expression grew colder with each passing second. The audacity of the Gill family!

Harlee quickly forwarded the recording to Tonya, instructing her to manage the situation and signaling her readiness to comply with Barbara’s proposal.

Harlee then called Kareem.

After three rings, Kareem answered, his voice deep.

“What’s up?”

“Can we head to the military base today? I’m getting too much unwanted attention here.”

Kareem laughed and gestured to someone nearby to check the flight schedules.

He then spoke, “There’s a flight to Claelia in an hour. I’ll meet you there.”

“Claelia?” Harlee, surprised, asked, “I thought we were headed to the base?” She remembered Kareem mentioning their assignment was in Claelia.

Could it be that she was actually going to bypass the training?

Kareem said, “That was the original plan, but Fletcher vouched for you. You can go straight to the mission.”

Harlee paused, her thoughts racing, and Kareem’s voice softened.

“Scared?”

“I’m just trying to figure out what this mission involves and if there’s anything I should prepare beforehand.”

Her response was what he expected.

He grinned and replied, “You’ll see when you arrive.

Don’t worry. I won’t send you into harm’s way.”

He wasn’t willing to expose his sister, who had just returned, to danger. This so-called mission was more of an excuse to take her on a trip abroad than a real challenge.

Though Harlee appreciated Kareem’s concern, she declined his arrangement without hesitation. She didn’t want her military life to feel like a vacation. She had never envisioned joining the military without enduring hardships. Since the commander had included her in the mission, she was committed to seeing it through, despite the dangers.

Fulfilling her duties as a soldier was her primary motivation for being there.

“Kareem, isn’t it a soldier’s duty to prioritize the mission?” Harlee said sincerely.

Kareem felt a stir of emotion at her words.

After conducting thorough evaluations, he was convinced Harlee was an exceptional addition to the military.

Her hacking expertise was invaluable for executing more critical operations. That was why she had been allowed to join the military, and the commander had agreed to include her in their upcoming mission.
