Chapter 68
“Chief Instructor, as you know, with the daughter gone, the special task force leader will start to make waves,” Yan stated, aware that Lia was not the task force leader’s daughter, though the Chief Instructor was not privy to this fact. Regardless, the outcome was the same since an exceptional specimen from a top-secret project had been spirited away. ‘The task force leader will turn the empire upside down to find Lia if need be.’
The Chief Instructor nodded lightly. “I’m aware. But why? You’re not worried, are you?”
“Please assign the child under my care.”
The Chief Instructor’s eyebrows twitched. “...What?”
However, he quickly composed himself and asked with a smile, “There must be a reason my disciple is making such an unreasonable request.”
He looked at Yan with cold eyes that didn’t match his smiling face. “If you’ve brought up such an absurd suggestion for no good reason, my trust in you might waver a bit. I hope you have a convincing reason.”
Yan steadied his breath, facing the Chief Instructor. “You won’t manage the child directly, will you? That’s the first reason.”
Though Yan didn’t continue, the Chief Instructor immediately grasped the implication. “You don’t trust the instructors under me?”
“Yes.”
The Chief Instructor burst into laughter at Yan’s firm response.
“Why?” The Chief Instructor’s voice was thick with laughter, which Yan knew was not out of amusement but irritation and annoyance. The Chief Instructor felt his capabilities were being doubted.
