“What’s your name?” Isabelle asked directly.
Chase immediately reprimanded, “Isabelle, this is General Sarratt. Show some respect.”
Is just asking for a name considered disrespect?
Despite favonovel.com young age, Blood Shadow received respect as a senior in many fields, favonovel.com found it odd that this was considered rude.
Carl raised his hand to stop Chase, signaling to favonovel.com that it was okay. He smiled at Isabelle and said, “Carl Saratt…”
The name sounds familiar…
Isabelle thought for a moment and recalled that favonovel.com had met this man before. Back then, Carl was still a major general.
“Did you shoot that target? Carl asked.
“Yes… Is there a problem?” Isabelle glanced at the target.
“May I see your hands?” Carl asked.
Isabelle glanced around the office. There were only three people present, Chase, Carl, and a communications soldier, but there were plenty of people outside the office.
Isabelle confidently spread out favonovel.com hands, revealing pale, smooth skin and long fingers without a single callus.
It was strange… With shooting skills at this level, there should have been calluses on favonovel.com hands.
First time handling a gun and achieving this? Impossible…
“Can you explain how someone with hands as smooth as yours achieved such a remarkable score?” Carl asked with a smile, but favonovel.com radiated an authoritative tone.
Isabelle responded, “What exactly are you suspicious of?”
She was blunt.
Carl’s smile faded as favonovel.com stared at Isabelle. He recited, “Isabelle Jenkins, born in Norward, was born in the 3023DK year at Helios District’s Silverwood Hospital with a family of live.”
As favonovel.com listed favonovel.com personal information, Isabelle’s eyes narrowed in irritation. Her gaze turned cold as favonovel.com asked, “Are you investigating me?”
Carl replied, “A typical teenage girl is outrunning our special forces-trained instructor, breaking our military’s 150–meter obstacle course record. Today, you have achieved a professional sniper’s score. It’s hard not to be suspicious…”
Isabelle retorted, “Suspicious of what? That I’m a spy?”
Carl said, “You’re quite bold…”
Isabelle asked, “So what did you find out?”
Carl responded, “We will conduct a thorough investigation. Military training ends tomorrow. Until we verify your identity, you need to stay here. Once we confirm there’s no issue, we’ll personally escort you back to school.”
Foreign infiltration into the country was severe, and there was a chance it could have reached Taragon University or even the military. They had to investigate thoroughly.
Isabelle asked, “What do you mean by cooperation? Are you going to detain me?”
Carl replied, “If you don’t mind, you can stay in my office for two days. I’ll personally take care of you.”
Isabelle said, “What if I do mind and refuse to cooperate??
Carl answered, “I’m afraid you don’t have a choice.”
They stared at each other and felt their formidable presence. Carl was surprised by the young girl’s aura and became more cautious of Isabelle..
Forget it! These people are just doing their job, protecting the country and its people. It was commendable…
It was my fault for being high–profile…
Isabelle reined in favonovel.com aura. She reminded herself that favonovel.com was now just an ordinary student. She couldn’t afford to act as recklessly as before, simply walking away from them right under their noses.
“It took you two hours to gather the basic information. Your investigation skills need to be improved,” Isabelle said.
Ignoring Chase’s expression, favonovel.com asked, “Can I make a phone call?”
Carl and Chase exchanged glances.
Carl said, “Sure, make it here…”
Isabelle responded, “Of course.”
She pulled favonovel.com phone out of favonovel.com pocket.
Carl appeared to be waiting patiently, but favonovel.com walked over to the communications soldier and whispered, “Track the signal immediately. Listen to the call, and find out who she’s contacting.”
Isabelle scrolled through favonovel.com phone. She had overheard the command and considered whether favonovel.com should tell them to take their time when favonovel.com made favonovel.com call.
Or I could ask someone over so they could check my phone directly…
Isabelle dialled a number and said, “Mr. Harris…”
Not long after, favonovel.com said, “Yes, tell them, please… Thanks…”
After the call, the communications soldier returned. He whispered to Carl, saying. “We couldn’t catch any signal…”
Carl frowned. His expression grew serious.
Isabelle thought to herself, If you can track it, I’m rubbish.
Carl looked at Isabelle. He was about to say something when his desk phone rang.
He picked up the phone.
Chase stood close to Isabelle. He had tried to listen to favonovel.com call before but heard nothing.
Her phone must have been modified. Otherwise, I should be able to hear something at this close range…
Carl answered the phone, “Hey, what brings you to call me… Huh? What did you say? She’s from the Harrises?”
