Chapter 322 Our Feud Is Set
Mr. Lopez's expression softened considerably,"Are you tired from the military training these past few days?"
A question mark popped into Abella's mind as she slowly responded,"Not tired."
"That's good. Who's her instructor??" Battalion Lopez turned to ask Commander Jackson.
Commander Jackson was completely baffled. He couldn't understand why Battalion Lopez, who had been so stern just a moment ago, was suddenly so courteous to a young girl. Could she have some significant background?
" Battalion Lopez, I am Abella's instructor, Liam." Liam saluted, also confused. It seemed that Battalion Lopez recognized the young girl and was quite respectful towards her.
"You're her instructor?" Battalion Lopez said cheerfully,"I see she's good at combat. It's clear you've taught her well."
Liam stood tall, not daring to take credit,"It's herself who has the aptitude."
After all, she didn't pay attention in class and yet could perform combat so well. What else could it be if not aptitude?
"Train her well, she will surely be a promising seedling," Battalion Lopez said, patting Liam's shoulder suggestively.
Liam was baffled. Good at combat makes the girl a promising seedling?
What kind of logic is that??
"Oh, by the way, you were saying something about Abella??" Battalion Lopez turned to Commander Jackson, who seemed about to give a lecture just before...
"Oh, nothing, nothing..."
Commander Jackson, having reached his position, wasn't a fool. He quickly realized the girl's status was not to be trifled with and hurriedly smiled warmly.
"I just wanted to tell her, with the weather being hot, don't forget to drink more water during the breaks..."
"That's it?" Battalion Lopez clearly didn't believe him. What was there to remind about that?
"And, and also... I saw she's good at combat, and I wanted to properly praise her!"
"Jackson, no offense, but," Battalion Lopez's gaze carried a hint of reproach and suggestion,"when you're praising a young girl, you should look happier, and your tone should be gentler. When I came over, you looked so stern, I thought you were going to criticize her!"
"No, no, I wouldn't dare..." Commander Jackson was sweating profusely.
"I hope so!"
With that, Battalion Lopez turned to Abella with a kind smile,"May I have your WhatsApp, Abella?"
At this, Commander Jackson and Liam were both shocked...
Battalion Lopez continued gently,"I'm the commander of the battalion. Not just the company commanders under my command, but all the instructors here listen to me... If there's anything in the future, you can report directly to me!"
Commander Jackson's legs went weak. Clearly, this young girl was not to be messed with, someone who could make the battalion commander so polite must have a status above his.
He didn’t realize that!
Abella didn't want to give Battalion Lopez her WhatsApp, but considering he was a battalion commander in front of two subordinates, she eventually gave him her WhatsApp.
"I've added you, approve it later," Battalion Lopez said cheerfully,"You're free to go now, contact me anytime."
"Okay." Abella nodded, unable to guess who had asked for her to be specially looked after. Phillipe? The principal? Or her parents? Her brothers?
Watching the young girl's retreating figure, Battalion Lopez returned to his usual authority, instructing Liam,"Take good care of her, don't let any mistakes happen."
"Yes!"
After saluting, Liam caught up with Abella in a few steps, puzzled,"Why are you so good at combat but don't show it off in class?"
He had been worried for nothing!
He thought she would get thrashed by Lucine...
Abella's gaze casually fell ahead, and she asked nonchalantly,"Is there a need to practice those simple moves?"
"..."
Arrogant! She truly was an arrogant young girl!
But with a background like hers, she was different!
Elsewhere.
Lucine, lying in the bed of infirmary, couldn't swallow the anger in her throat and took out her phone to send Lola a WhatsApp message.
"Lola, guess who I ran into just now?"
Lola, having just finished military training at Stanford University, got a bad feeling when she saw the message.
Lucine and Abella were both at the Medical College...
Could it be...
She cautiously asked,"It wasn't Abella, was it?"
Abella didn't talk nonsense?? Didn't reveal her fake lady status??
"It was her!" Lucine's tone was full of hatred,"I declare, from today on, Abella and I are sworn enemies!"
Lola was secretly pleased, feigning concern about the incident, not expecting Abella to be so skilled at combat...
"She grew up in a small place, must have been led astray by some bad company..."
"I'm sorry, Lucine, I didn't know she would be so outrageous, not even holding back in the college.."
"My parents are quite superstitious, a fortune teller said her horoscope was auspicious and would bring good fortune to the Medici family, so they decided to adopt her on the spot, treating her like a foster daughter..."
"The fortune teller said if she was the elder sister and I the younger, I should always give in to her. But since she got the family name of Medic, she thinks she's a real Medici and acts all high and mighty!"
"Ever since she stepped into our home, she's been looking down on everyone. I put up with her bullying me, but I didn't expect her to be so arrogant at school..."
"It's a good thing you didn't say you knew me, otherwise, she would have been ruthless today..."
"Lucine, this is my family matter, and my parents once made me swear not to reveal these things... but you're my best friend..."
...
"Don't worry, Lola, I won't tell anyone."
With Lucine's promise, Lola continued to feign concern for her injuries, apologizing for Abella's actions.
"It's not your fault, no need to apologize to me!"
The one who was wrong was Abella; if anyone should apologize, it should be Abella kneeling before Lucine!!
"When I'm better, I'll make sure to deal with her!" Lucine's eyes flashed with resentment.
Lola sent a sighing emoji, The fortune teller said our family would face a great disaster, and only by keeping her could we turn danger into safety. Just for that purpose, if something happens to her, my parents will surely hold someone accountable... Forget it Lucine, you can't find another person with such a unique horoscope... My parents value her highly."
Lucine caught her meaning,"Don't worry, I'll act accordingly."
What's so great about learning a set of combat moves? She'll have her family's champion Sanda brother teach her a few moves, and she'll surely be able to handle Abella...
In the end, won't she still be beneath her?
Besides, if Abella accidentally has an 'accident', could Mr. and Mrs. Medici really hold her accountable??
Even if they sought accountability, they would need evidence, right??
As long as it's done without anyone being the wiser...
"Lucine, although your family ancestors were Royal Doctors, and many famous medical relatives came from your family, Abella's medical skills are not bad either..."
