Chapter 1324:

Madisyn’s brows furrowed. She hadn’t expected Elton’s reason for targeting Andrew to stem from this.

Her voice was cool, cutting.

“From what I understand, the highest-ranking officer of the Qiviut Organization is chosen based on personal merit. Only those who are exceptional in every regard can be appointed. Elton, your lack of integrity alone disqualifies you.”

Elton stiffened. Her words—so absolute, so damning—set his blood aflame. A sneer twisted his lips.

“Oh? I’m not qualified? Madisyn, you said ‘from what you understand’ — and where, pray tell, did you gain such privileged knowledge? Or is Commander Thatcher’s so-called confidentiality policy nothing more than a farce? He keeps me in the dark, yet spills everything to his precious granddaughter-in-law?”

His accusation struck hard, accusing Denby of blurring the lines between public and private affairs.

Madisyn’s eyes turned icy. Her next words were crisp, each syllable deliberate.

“I am a member of the Qiviut Organization—known as Rose. Does that satisfy you? The Qiviut Organization serves the country and its people. Even though Denby holds the highest rank, he cannot simply hand over leadership on a whim. Elton, whether you accept it or not, words mean nothing here. If you want it, you’ll have to prove yourself—by beating me first.”

“Rose?”

Elton’s expression flickered, his arrogance momentarily shaken.

Andrew, too, was momentarily stunned.

His Madisyn was Rose? The very same Rose he had unknowingly worked alongside?

Right now, Andrew’s focus was entirely on Madisyn.

While he wrestled with his thoughts, Madisyn had already set the terms of the challenge with Elton.

Denby had once cultivated Elton’s abilities, so now, with Denby remaining silent, the guards held their ground. They surrounded Elton but made no move to seize him.

Elton was no match for Madisyn in physical combat, so they opted for a different test—a battle of tactics.

Each would pose questions, taking turns answering until one failed to respond and admitted defeat.

Denby understood why Madisyn had chosen this path—it was to protect him. He was moved by her foresight and silently signaled for the others to hold back until the contest reached its conclusion. Madisyn’s gaze was firm as she met Elton’s glare.

“You go first.”

Elton, never one to hesitate, immediately threw out his most difficult questions.

Time slipped by unnoticed as the battle of wits raged on. Back and forth they went, neither giving an inch.

Yet no matter how intricate or deceptive Elton’s questions were, Madisyn countered with precise, well-rounded answers that left no room for dispute.

Her past had honed her ability to think critically, anticipate hidden angles, and adapt to unpredictable situations. In contrast, Elton, though calculating, struggled against her unrelenting strategy. Madisyn’s questions were not only challenging but meticulously crafted to align with the missions of the Qiviut Organization. Elton’s methodical approach, while effective in measured settings, proved ill-suited for this kind of fast-paced, high-stakes exchange.
