“You guys know how to enjoy yourself. I’ve never even brought a woman to an army camp before. If you like enjoying yourselves so much, why are you in the army? Why are you a chiliarches? Shall I relieve you of your duties and free you to fool around with women?”
Richard’s scolding made Gregory and Anthony’s heads hang lower.
After a while, Gregory and Anthony said together, “Commander Lennon, we’re sorry. We’re willing to be punished.”
Ronald broke out in a sweat at the sight of it. It was because he was responsible for causing this incident. Richard would not have noticed it if he had not asked his daughter to stay in the army camp. Therefore, Ronald panicked and felt guilty.
“Commander Lennon, let’s just let this go. It’s not a big deal. We know how men are…”
Richard glanced coldly at Ronald. The other party instantly winced and shut up.
“We’re soldiers before we’re men! Why bother being a soldier if you can’t abide by military rules? You should pack up and leave as soon as possible!“
Gregory and Anthony blushed at Richard’s words.
At least the two grown men realized what they did wrong by being that ashamed.
Richard got up and walked outside.
“Come with me. We’re meeting Wesley, Wesley’s wife, and their son!”
Richard’s words made everyone shudder.
Dorodo‘s city defense army barracks were in excellent condition. Six regular soldiers shared a room, while two supervisors shared a room.
Chiliarches like Gregory, Anthony, and Wesley did not live in the barracks but in three-bedroom apartments.
Wanda was helpless. She found her husband and son arrogant. However, Wanda knew she had no place in the army hierarchy, so she resisted persuading them and kept quiet.
“George, what’s with the woman you brought into the army camp?” Wesley asked as he took a drink and looked at his precious son George.
George immediately replied, “Dad, why do you care? I was only fooling around with her. It’s nothing serious.”
“Then send the woman out as soon as possible. This is an army base. What will the soldiers think when you bring her here?” Wesley chided.
“Didn’t you bring women to the army base too…” George said, glancing at his mother.
Although the woman was his birth mother, George never saw her as his mother.
