Chapter 259


    After getting off the ne, Cassandra turned on her mobile phone.


    She received a lot of messages from Cassidy, Sofia, her instructor, and Howard.


    Sofia: [My idol, why didn’t you attend ss today? I noticed no one answered when the teacher called


    your name.]


    Sofia: [The school is over. Why haven’t youe yet? Are you fine?]


    Cassidy: [Cassandra, did anything happen to you?]


    Cassidy: [How strange! You didn’te to school. Neither did Harper.]


    They were all concerned about her and kept texting or calling her. Cassandra felt a little embarrassed


    for a moment.


    She walked up to Daniel and said awkwardly, “Director Walker, please notify my school that I’ll get a


    couple of days off school. I forgot to ask for leave.”


    This task would take a long time, so she needed to justify herself. She decided to let Daniel ask for


    leave on her behalf. Anyway, he was the one who gave her this task.


    Daniel raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, “Ask for leave?”


    “I’m still a student. Don’t I need to ask for leave when I’m absent from ss?” Cassandra asked back.


    Daniel was speechless.


    He forgot Cassandra was still a freshman in college.


    “Leave it to me. Don’t worry about it,” Daniel replied.


    She only replied to Sofia’s WhatsApp message. [I have something urgent to do. I will ask for leave


    later. Please let Cassidy know.]


    However, she didn’t have time to reply to all of them. Daniel began to collect their cell phones. She


    switched it off and handed it over to him.


    After arriving at the battle camp, the rest of the staff from the information security department also


    arrived.


    They started assigning work..


    *********


    After hours of meetings and situation analysis, they finally had an idea of Zosteylor’s situation. The war


    was caused by powerpetition. Zosteylor’s new queen had taken power a year ago, but she never


    made public appearances on television. Her husband presided over everything on her behalf.


    They subdued the infighting and drove the queen’s sister from Zosteylor. This time, the queen’s sister


    returned with her troops to seize power.


    They didn’t expect their war to injure Clusia nationals by mistake.


    Kam, the queen’s sister, was determined to obtain the position she deserved. When Clusia’s troops


    negotiated with her, they didn’t get a satisfactory answer.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Kam intended to upy the Queen’s pce earlier, with the support of Clusia’s troops. She had


    threatened Clusia with its people, but Clusia had its own rules and would never intervene in the internal


    affairs of other countries.


    Their task was to evacuate Clusia nationals from Zosteylor safely. The internal affairs in Zosteylor had


    nothing to do with Clusia.


    Unfortunately, the two sides couldn’t reach a consensus. Clusia gave the task to the Falcon Special


    Operations Force and requested that theyplete the mission with the support of the information


    security department.


    After the meeting, Keh asked them to go back to their rooms for a rest and decided to assign them


    the assignment the next morning.


    At that time, only Keh and Cassandra were left in the huge office.


    He had suppressed his emotions for a long time along the way. He was torn between his beloved


    woman and Clusia nationals. As amander, he couldn’t fail his duties.


    Cassandra had the best hacking skills in the information security department. In other words, Emery


    was admired by hackers all over the world. Without her, Falcon Special Operations Force might spend


    more effort while achieving fewer results. They might also face more dangers.


    But Cassandra was his girlfriend. He would be distracted and worried about her safety if she stayed on


    the battlefield.


    After hesitating for a long time, Keh said, “Cassie, you… You shouldn’t havee.”


    He didn’t doubt her abilities but worried about her safety.


    Cassandra frowned and said with dissatisfaction, “Are you afraid of me dragging you down?” She


    added after thinking for a while, “How about we have apetition? Please don’t say that again if I win


    or we’re even.”


    Keh’s tone was exactly like Jeremiah’s, but Jeremiah sounded a little angrier.


    She could protect herself. What made them worry so sick?


    Keh was stunned.


    “Cassie, I’m not questioning your ability and fighting skills. As long as you are in this dangerous ce, I


    can’t stop worrying about you,” he exined.


    He worried sick as long as he thought of the risk she might face.


    Cassandra’s frown eased. She patted Keh on the shoulder and said in a very gentle tone, “I know


    what you mean. I understand your concern. But now we have more important things to do. We


    shouldn’t put personal safety first.”


    Although she was not a soldier, she served the country. She was still prompted by patriotism.


    However, Keh deepened his frown upon hearing what she said. “Cassie…”


    “Stop trying to persuade me. You should understand me,” Cassandra said.


    Keh was surprised. He thought, ‘How am I to understand you? You were abandoned by your family


    and had a miserable childhood, but you are still optimistic about life. You don’t believe in love, but you


    still choose to risk your life for strangers? Cassie, you’re so


    conflicted. What kind of a person are you?‘


    “I give up. When you’re in danger, try your best to protect yourself and wait for me to save you,”


    Keh said.


    “No problem. Don’t worry. It’s not easy for me to revive. I don’t wanna die,” Cassandra blurted out. It


    was the first time for her to say something without thinking.


    “Revive?”


    Keh was a little confused. What did that mean?


    “For me, I revived after leaving the Yates family,” Cassandra said, trying to whitewash it.


    Keh understood what she said with


    “Yeah. You’re right,” Keh agreed.


    any suspicions.


    “The two sides in Zosteylor agreed to a truce for the time being. We can take the chance to deploy our


    rescue work during this period,” Cassandra said. All could think now was work.


    There were more than 30,000 Clusians in Zosteylor. Evacuation of all of them was an arduous task,


    and they also needed to keep them safe in the war.


    It was quite a challenge.


    “We can discuss it tomorrow. Have a good night’s sleep,” Keh said.


    *****


    Because it was a truce, Cassandra packed her backpack and went out with Keh. They wouldn’t


    seed in their task if they didn’t do fieldwork.


    They needed to know the situation of Clusians and civilian casualties.


    Many people were left homeless after their homes were damaged by the st. Refugees rushed into


    the supermarket to snatch food. Bombs wounded children’s hands, but they were unable to get to the


    hospital for treatment.


    Cassandra felt sad when she saw the scene. She suddenly felt proud of being a Clusian.


    She walked in front of the injured child, examined him, and stopped the bleeding. Then she took out a


    pill from her bag and fed the kid.


    She couldn’t speak much of the localnguage, so she could onlymunicate with the child’s mother


    in broken sentences. She advised the mother to feed him with more water and pay attention to the child


    at night in case he had a fever.
