Chapter 70
Sophia knew that they must have set things up beforeing over to cause trouble.
Sophia then stood up straight before she spoke up in a strong-willed manner. “Since you believe that
Nate is the one who has stolen your ne, go on and search the room then! A straight foot has no
fear of a crooked shoe. I believe Nate would never steal your ne!”
Ka grinned as if her wicked n had prevailed; she had been waiting for her to say so.
Since Sophia had addressed the matter, Ka immediately gave orders to the crowd on the scene.
“Everyone, listen up. Since Sophia has said it, then I shall feel free to do so!”
Even though it was against the rules to search the personal belongings of others, the ne Ka
had lost was worth over one million. Thus, they were able to make an exception this time; even
Commander Ford and the other drilling instructor had agreed to it.
Ka quickly walked over to grab Nathan’s belongings.
He had only brought a few things when he entered the barracks; the only things he had with him was a
little backpack which had two sets of apparels in it. He did not bring a lot of toys except for a little frog
plushie that he had won at the funfair.
Ka was being ignorant as she shook everything out of Nathan’s backpack. However, she did not find
her ne. She then searched all over his bed, but her ne that was said to be worth one million
was still nowhere to be seen.
Ka then said, “He must’ve hidden it on him!”
She sure was courageous when she immediately took a step forward to search all over Nathan’s body.
She directly reached her hands into Nathan’s pockets that were situated by the sides of his pants.
Nathan had a sullen look on his face, and he was feeling immensely displeased. Nheless, he
allowed her to search him.
After searching for quite some time, Ka was only able to find a little frog.
Ka ragingly tossed the little frog away as it made a squeaking sound when it hit the floor. “I don’t
believe it. My ne must be here somewhere!”
Sophia put on a smirk before she said, “You’ve thought too much. Nate is just a child—a mere boy. He
doesn’t like things that sparkle, so why would he ever take your ne?” Meanwhile, Sophia bent over
to pick up Nathan’s little frog toy. She then patted off the dust before returning it to him.
Nathan seemed really unhappy about it when he held his little frog toy in his hands.
X, who was silent at first, came out of nowhere to stop Ka. “Sophia is right. Maybe we’ve really
mistaken him for stealing your ne. Why would a child steal it anyway? He doesn’t even know what
a ne is.”
X seemed to have reminded Ka of something with her words. Ka instantly shifted her gaze
toward Sophia and said, “A child doesn’t know how to steal, but what about an adult who knows all about
the goods?”
Sophia looked at Ka while keeping her cool. She was fearless as she said, “Are you saying that I’ve
instructed Nate to steal your ne? I’m sorry—no matter how poor I am, I will never yearn for
anything that doesn’t belong to me!”
It was as if Ka was absolutely sure that Sophia was the thief who had stolen her ne. She then
said confidently, “You never know for sure. What if someone had really overestimated themselves and
yearned for something that they didn’t deserve?”
Sophia had nothing on her conscience as she took a step aside to reveal her bed. “Since you think that
I’ve stolen your ne, I’ll let you search my bed!”
Ka really did start searching around her bed.
Sophia added a sentence deliberately. “I shall warn you beforehand—if you’re unable to find your
ne here, you must give Nate and I an exnation!”
She seemed really confident and was pretty sure that she did not have any of Ka’s belongings with
her.
Ka snorted before she turned around and began searching through Sophia’s belongings. At a corner
where no one was able to notice her, Ka had a mysterious grin on her face.
She then grabbed Sophia’s backpack and gave it a shake, shaking out all of the contents in her bag.
There were not many things inside of it, for Sophia only had two sets of apparels and ab that she
normally used. Everything was scattered all over the ce.
All of a sudden, a glistening light showed up in sight. A diamond ne dropped out from one of
Sophia’s shirts, and everyone in the room immediately caught sight of it.
Most of the girls eximed, “It really is here!”
“This means that Nate has really stolen it!”
“How would Nate know anything about stealing? It must’ve been Sophia…”
Ka let out a sly grin while the girls silently gossiped at one side. She grabbed the ne in her hand
to show everyone in the room before cing it in front of Sophia and the two instructors. “My ne
was indeed in Sophia’s backpack! How dare you say that you did not instruct Nate to steal it!”
Sophia was caught red-handed, but she remained calm. With easy grace and pride, she stood up
straight with a poker face; she was not in any distress and did not feel any sense of guilt at all even
though she was caught red-handed. “I don’t know why the ne is here. I’ve never taken your
ne, and have never instructed anyone to do so as well!”
She then looked at Nathan and said, “I believe that Nate will never take your ne as well. This is a
nder, an outright nder!”
Ka deliberately swayed her ne that was worth one million right in front of Sophia. “You’ve been
caught red-handed, yet you’re saying that this is nder? Are you trying to say that my ne grew its
own legs and made its way into your backpack?”
Sophia looked away in a proud manner. “I don’t know. I did not take any of your belongings, so Nate and
I will not plead guilty!”
She then held Nathan in her arms, looking as though she was worried that Ka and the others would
bully him instead.
Ka stopped talking nonsense with Sophia as she brought her ne over to the drilling instructor of
the 23rd Company. Ka, who had been fierce-looking moments ago, instantly put on a puppy face. She
immediately turned into an edelweiss before she started whining and was nearly in tears. “Instructor, look
at her. She is still denying it although she stole my ne!”
The drilling instructor of the 23rd Company looked sullen, and he did not show much emotion on his
face. Ka initially thought that he was going to serve her justice, but little did she expect her instructor
to say coldly, “Since you’ve found your ne, let us leave. We still have training tonight.”

The instructor turned around and left as soon as he finished his sentence.
Ka was left looking at the instructor in utter disbelief.
That’s all?
She had stolen a ne worth a million! It was sufficient to file a case for an investigation to take
ce; not only that, Sophia could even end up in jail! Besides, this was military training, and Bayside
University was known to be unprecedentedly strict. Sophia should be driven out of here no matter what!
Everything was over when the instructor simply said, “There’s training tonight!”
She did not want to let Sophia get away with it. Ka furiously stomped on the ground and said, “She
hasmitted a theft in the barracks. Why are you just letting her be?”
The instructor suddenly halted in his tracks before he turned around. It was as if an iceberg had suddenly
exploded in his eyes as he stared at Ka with a terrifying look. “Should we dy the training sessions
of bothpanies just because of your matter?”
The look he had on his face was the cold look of a true soldier that had gone through life and death on
the battlefield; he immediately quelled all the girls on the scene.
The drilling instructor of the 23rd Company swept a nce at everyone coldly. “Let’s go, everyone.
Whoever iste for tonight’s training will have to run 3000 meters as your punishment. Don’t expect to
have a goodnight’s sleep if you’re unable to finish running!”
Most of the students from the 23rd Company scurried off in fear after hearing the instructor’s words.
Soon, the drilling instructor of the 23rd Company left. Sophia quickly spoke to Commander Ford.
“Commander Ford, I did not steal any of her belongings. If it really was me, I will be more than willing to
ept my punishment. This matter is between Ka and I—it has nothing to do with Nate. No matter
what happens, please don’t involve Nate in it.”
Commander Ford gave Sophia a confused look before he repeated what the drill instructor of the 23rd
Company had said. “Training starts at seven o’clock sharp tonight. Anyone who iste will run a drill of
3000 meters with an addition of 200 sit-ups. Don’t expect to sleep until the drill ispleted.”
All the girls in the room spread out after being terrified by his words.
Commander Ford left the room as well.
Displeased, Ka was reluctant to leave the room. She really could not figure it out. Why was Sophia not
punished although she was already caught red-handed?!
