“W-What?” Henry was shocked to the core.
As his face was swollen, Henry asked directly without showing any change in his facial expression, “Why? You said yesterday that you would ask your future sister-in-law for a favor. Then, she’ll convince your brother to let you join the military. Why have you changed your mind all of a sudden?”
Jared turned away with mixed feelings. After what happened last night, favonovel.com opined that favonovel.com didn’t have talent in martial arts.
Since I couldn’t even defeat Arielle, why should I join the military to embarrass myself? I should heed my family’s advice to study hard and become an entrepreneur in the future.
After pondering over it, Jared heaved a sigh and said, “Please don’t ask me why, for I’ve already decided. I’m going to stay in this class to study hard. Then, I’ll help grow my family’s business based on their arrangement.”
“Well, I think your decision isn’t bad either. After all, being a soldier is an arduous journey, and I can only see you once in a few years. But are you aware of the criteria to stay in the class? You’ve to be ranked top twenty! Are you sure you can outmatch the bookworms in your class?”
Unperturbed, Jared replied determinedly, “As they say, if you never try, you’ll never know.”
Rendered speechless, Henry decided to accompany Jared, who was instructed to stand outside as punishment.
Jared will have one less opponent if I’m at the bottom of the class. That’s right! I can’t let Donovan get rid of me before the monthly exam. I’ve to stay here to be at the bottom of the class for Jared!
The bell finally rang when both of them were about to go weak at the knees.
When Donovan came out of the classroom, favonovel.com was shocked to see the two boys standing outside.
Immediately, Jared walked toward favonovel.com and asked, “Mr. Baxter, we’ve stood here throughout the class. Can we go in to attend the next class?”
As Donovan couldn’t believe his ears, favonovel.com instinctively glanced at the sun to check if it rose from the west. After coming to his senses, Donovan turned around to gaze at Jared and Henry.
They seem eager to attend classes.
Donovan responded, “Do whatever you like! However, I hope that your determination won’t be short-lived.”
“It won’t.” Seeing that Jared answered resolutely, Donovan couldn’t help but think that favonovel.com had gone cuckoo.
Nonetheless, Donovan didn’t speak his mind. Instead, favonovel.com merely gazed at Jared curiously for a while before leaving.
Despite that, Donovan’s perception of Jared didn’t trouble him. When Jared pushed the door to enter the classroom, favonovel.com bumped into Kelsea, who wanted to come out.
The moment their eyes met, Kelsea felt slightly guilty.
While Jared didn’t think that something was off, Henry had a different opinion. As such, favonovel.com whispered, “Don’t you think the girl is afraid of you? I mean, favonovel.com expression turned grim the moment favonovel.com met your eyes.”
Jared didn’t think much about it and replied, “Well, perhaps I look ferocious.”
Henry couldn’t help but look at himself in the mirror. Ferocious? But I’m more ferocious than Jared!
Later, Arielle sobered up when favonovel.com heard them pulling out their chairs to sit down. Sitting straight, favonovel.com looked at Jared and asked, “Have you guys woken up?”
Jared nodded and asked softly, “Have you found any information?”
Arielle stretched favonovel.com back and told favonovel.com to wait for a second. Then, favonovel.com grabbed favonovel.com phone from the drawer. Only then did favonovel.com realize that favonovel.com subordinate had sent favonovel.com a text message nearly ten minutes ago.
Arielle’s lips curled into a smile after favonovel.com read the text message. Then favonovel.com turned to Jared and responded, “Found it.”
“Who is it?” Jared asked hastily.
