The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter-Chapter 898 A New Trouble
The trainees looked at each other as they didn't know where Cassie went after leaving the quarters. Their handsome officer was fuming with rage when he found out that someone was missing.
Cassie was not supposed to leave the quarters at night. They have a curfew. And it was part of the rule book.
"Where is Applicant 0018?!" Flint repeated his question with a stern voice. He moved his gaze around, questioning them.
When no one answered, Flint immediately left the quarters to find the rule breaker, Cassie. He called the monitoring team to search for her. One of the CCTV cameras might have spotted her.
Christian was watching the whole scene. He knew that his twin sister would be in trouble again. But he didn't want to intervene. She had to deal with this. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖
But Christian was still worried about his sister. He also heard the conversation between Flint and Justine. And he saw that Cassie was secretly listening to them.
He thought Cassie would give up the idea of pursuing Flint. However, he was wrong. She became more determined to win him over.
"Scarlet... Why are you encouraging her? I'm afraid that my sister will just get hurt in the end," Christian thought to himself. He sat down, patting Blue's head. He continued monitoring them. He wanted to see how Flint would deal with his sister.
Though it was Cassie's fault for breaking the rule, Christian didn't want his twin sister to suffer humiliation in front of others. He still has a protective instinct as her brother.
It did not take long when Flint finally found Cassie. She was about to return to the sleeping quarters when she bumped into Flint.
"Why did you leave your quarters? Don't you know that you are prohibited to roam around the training camp at night unless you have a mission?!" Flint scolded Cassie once again as if he was her father. He had lost count of how many times he got mad at her today.
Cassie bit her lower lip with her teary eyes. She didn't expect that Flint would reprimand her again. She didn't know the rules. She hadn't seen the rule book yet.
But she chose to stay quiet as it was her own fault for not reading the rule book. But unknown to her, the other jealous applicants purposely hid the rule book from her. They wanted her to get in trouble because they were jealous of her.
Cassie doesn't look like someone who belongs there. They thought she was just delicate and weak woman who only cared about her physical beauty.
They also believed that someone big and influential was backing her, that's why she was able to enter the last stage of screening. With that thought in mind, the other female applicants wanted Cassie to get in trouble.
"You have to sleep outside as your punishment," Flint said coldly. This was the first time someone broke the rules on the first day!
"Hey, don't be so harsh on her. Just let it slide. Today is their arrival. They are still adjusting here," Justin suddenly came out of nowhere. He intervened, defending Cassie. He also wanted to make Flint calm down a little.
On the other hand, Cassie wanted to defend herself but Flint's angry expression stopped her to do so. It was best to keep her mouth shut. She was willing to take the punishment if this was the only way for his anger to disappear.
"It's my fault. I forgot to read and scan the rule book. Don't worry, sir. I will follow your command. I will sleep here tonight," Cassie politely said. She raised her head, giving Justin a grateful look. But she didn't need someone to side with her. This was her lesson for becoming careless.
Flint was taken aback for a moment. He thought Cassie would complain like a spoiled brat. But surprisingly, she immediately agreed to do her punishment.
Justin felt sorry for Cassie. Flint didn't want to go easy on her. He was very strict and he wouldn't listen to Justin, his comrade.
"Are you losing your mind, Ninth? There is extreme coldness tonight. What if she will get sick if she stays outside for so long?" Justin was still trying to change Flint's mind.
"I will not allow you to decide alone. I'm against your decision, Ninth. Let's ask and consult Zero about this!" Justin, who is also known as Ten, suggested. He was truly concerned about Cassie. 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m
Cassie just darted her gaze back and forth between Flint and Justin who were arguing in front of her. Honestly, she was not worried about the punishment as she could easily handle this.
She wouldn't get sick as she had a strong immune system. She wouldn't feel cold as she could use her fire to warm her up.
"Zero, is that your Leader? The mysterious leader of your group?" Cassie suddenly butted in, interrupting the two men.
"Yes!" Flint and Justine answered in unison.
Zero was also one of Cassie's reasons for joining the Fiery Eagles. She wanted to discover Zero's real identity. She was intrigued by the Leadership of Zero. This role was being passed down from one generation to another but no one knew who was the real Zero.
"Can you call Zero? I want to hear that mysterious voice. Is Zero a man or a woman?" Cassie asked the two, diverting the topic.
Flint and Justine didn't have an idea either. Just like Cassie, they were also curious about Zero's identity. Whenever they would call Zero, the thing they could hear was a robotic voice. They even suspected and assumed that Zero was an AI or a robot.
"Let's call him!" Cassie's mood suddenly changed. Her gloomy expression was gone. It was replaced by excitement.
Justin just let out a soft chuckle before dialing Zero's emergency number.
Christian who was watching the three of them could only shake his head helplessly and sigh deeply.
'Why do they have to involve me with this? Can't they just handle this by themselves?' Christian lamented to himself as he glanced at his phone vibrating on his palm. Ten's phone number appeared on his phone screen.
