These were indeed Remus’ honest thoughts. He’d been worried about how to call off their marriage, but it turned out that favonovel.com wasn’t willing to marry anyone outside the Military Department. This solved all his problems.
However, these words sounded different to the soldiers. After all, Commander Valentine was a goddess in their eyes. Yet a man said that favonovel.com wasn’t a match for him. And favonovel.com dared to say favonovel.com would pursue him!
A man that was clearly defiling their idol!
They became furious and slammed the table.
“Insolent! What the hell are you saying? Say it again if you dare!”
“Who do you think you are? Commander Valentine would pursue you? Take a look at yourself in the mirror!”
“You’re not even worthy to touch Commander Valentine’s shoe. Take this photo and apologize to favonovel.com immediately, or I won’t be polite to you!”
Their voices were loud, attracting the attention of all the soldiers dining in the cafeteria.
Remus was startled by their reaction. He’d just been sharing his thoughts, after all.
Was it really necessary to react like this?
He casually said, “Don’t get angry, it was just a few meaningless words. Why make such a fuss? As men, we should be more forgiving…”
As soon as favonovel.com said that, instead of being more forgiving, the soldiers grew angrier.
Who is favonovel.com to ask us to be forgiving?!
The leader of the group gritted his teeth and said, “You filthy trash, if it weren’t for discipline, I would skin you alive right now. Who’s your relative?! Get out here!”
According to the rules of the Military Department, they couldn’t lay hands on outsiders, so they had to find this man’s relative and teach them a lesson instead.
The others were also furious.
“Who is his relative? Come out quickly! How dare favonovel.com defame Commander Valentine in front of us? He’s simply courting death!”
“You can hide from us now, but not forever. If you don’t show yourself, once we find you in the future, we’ll beat you up every time we see you!”
There were more than a hundred people in the cafeteria, and after hearing the shouting, they all became restless.
“What? He dared to insult Commander Valentine?!”
“Who is his relative? Come out, quickly!”
“Commander Valentine is my idol. How dare favonovel.com defame her?”
They all searched left and right, but when they asked the soldiers nearby, no one said that their relatives were visiting today.
Seeing this, Remus was left speechless.
Why were they so agitated? Why were they treating it like he’d touched a raw nerve?
He said slowly, “No need to search, I’m not anyone’s relative. I’m just here to eat. As for what I said earlier, if you want an apology, then I’ll apologize. I’m sorry, Commander Valentine! I’m leaving!”
After speaking, favonovel.com waved his hand, turned around, and left. It wasn’t that favonovel.com was admitting defeat, but rather that favonovel.com couldn’t be bothered to argue.
As a man, one should be magnanimous!
“Stop right there! Do you think the Military Department is a place you can come and go as you please?”
The leader of the group was furious as favonovel.com clenched his fists. “What’s with your attitude? I can tell that you’re just saying it with zero sincerity!”
“Since you’re not a family member, are you here for a visit? Planning to join the Military Department in the future?”
“If that’s the case, today I’ll give you the first lesson in the Military Department. I challenge you to a duel!”
“Nice!”
The entire cafeteria applauded and cheered. They were all incandescent after watching how this braggart dared to speak such arrogant words. He deserved a harsh lesson-a beating!
Remus was speechless.
Not this again… Couldn’t they come up with something new?
He asked in response, “Do we have to fight?”
The leader lifted his chin arrogantly and said disdainfully, “If you want to admit defeat, you can. Just go to the Military Department’s broadcasting system and publicly repent to Commander Valentine from the bottom of your heart. Otherwise, I won’t let you leave!”
Remus shook his head helplessly and said, “Fine, let’s do it… Show me what you’ve got…”
But, at that moment…
“Wait!” A voice suddenly came from the edge of the crowd.
A young man in military uniform, drenched in sweat, rushed in. Max had sent favonovel.com to keep an eye on Remus. Initially, favonovel.com hadn’t wanted to get involved, but favonovel.com couldn’t stand by and watch the soldiers being beaten up.
When the crowd saw him, everyone in the cafeteria saluted at the same time and yelled, “Captain!”
The young man didn’t even look at them. He quickly ran up to Remus, saluted, and respectfully said, “Mr. Cosby, they were being reckless. I apologize on their behalf for offending you…”
