Chapter 383
Natasha had absolute confidence and she wasn’t worried about the group of soldiers at all. After all, she
was a descendent of the Mitchell family and the only daughter of Alex Mitchell! As she thought about
this, she suddenly gained confidence and lifted her chin to look at Joel, who was much taller than her,
and yelled, “If you’re brave enough, tell me your number and unit! I’ll make sure you won’t get away so
easily!”
Joel red at her, eyes scorching but a cold expression on his face.
Upon hearing, Sophia hurriedly added oil to the fire. “General, let’s just leave. She’s the daughter of Alex
Mitchell, who is the director of Mitchell Group. Her father is also the head of the Mitchell family…”
Joel snorted.
“General?” As soon as Natasha heard this, she felt even more confident and she coldly looked at Joel
from head to toe. Joel was out for a party that day so he only wore casual clothes. At that moment, he
didn’t have his usual domineering aura. Instead, he looked like a neighbourly uncle with a gentle and
low-key attitude, not looking like the youngest major general of Cethos one bit.
“What rank are you? How dare you call yourself a general?” However, Joel was toozy to bother with
Natasha because it was pointless to quarrel with a person like her. He nced at his watch and realized
the party was starting soon and as Joel was the host, it wouldn’t look good if he were to bete. He
turned to Sophia and said, “Let’s go.”
Sophia didn’t say anything and merely followed silently behind Joel. It seems that Joel doesn’t want to
cause trouble. They are the Mitchells, after all. Since Joel didn’t want to create trouble, Sophia didn’t
bother to make a scene either. Besides, she was getting hungry too.
However, Joel only took two steps forward before he heard Natasha’s dark voiceing from behind
him. “Did I say you could leave?” As soon as she finished speaking, one of her bodyguards quickly
pressed Joel’s shoulders. There was an African among Natasha’s bodyguards who stood at slightly over
two meters, which made him one head taller than Joel. The African bodyguard pressed his hand firmly
on Joel’s shoulder, not saying a word.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Many soldiers watching seemed to want to attack but they
didn’t make a move. Instead, each of them stood idly by as they watched the drama unfold. Joel barked
augh and suddenly fought back. He mped the bodyguard’s hand that was on his shoulder and
poked at his acupuncture point, hard. The African bodyguard instantly screamed in agony. Then, Joel
turned around and kicked the bodyguard’s hip in a swift motion. With that, the bodyguard fell to the
ground with a loud thump.
Seeing this, Natasha’s other bodyguard jumped in to attack Joel. This bodyguard, on the other hand,
was short and quick. He was really cunning and his attacks were fast as he focused on hitting Joel’s
lower body. However, Joel quickly fought back and with just a few moves, the other bodyguard fell to the
ground. Joel pressed him onto the ground in a standard military movement before kicking him hard. Even
at a nce, everyone could tell that he was trained.
Natasha stared at the two bodyguards on the ground. She was so scared that her face turned pale and
she staggered back a few steps. Looking at Joel in disbelief, she screamed in horror, “You… How dare
you… Do you know who I am? My uncle is…”
Joel really didn’t want to waste his time talking to her so he casually put his hands in his pockets and
turned to leave. “Let’s go,” he said softly to Sophia. At that, Sophia hurriedly followed behind him, not
forgetting to turn around to nce at Natasha in triumph.
Thinking that Natasha’s father might be one of the murderers that killed her father, Sophia couldn’t help
but gloat. The group of bystanders disappeared in an instant,ing and going like the wind, leaving an
outraged Nathasha and her two fallen bodyguards rooted to the spot. Natasha red fiercely in the
direction that Sophia and Joel left and thought, Just you wait! Meanwhile, Sophia obediently followed
Joel to the ce they were having the party. On the way, Joel suddenly turned around and said to her,
“The next time you want to teach someone a lesson, just be blunt.”
Sophia immediately blushed. Joel had seen through her intentions in one nce and she was extremely
embarrassed about it. Smiling awkwardly, she muttered, “Thank you, general.”
After a while, as if he had suddenly realized that he had said something insensitive, he added, “I’m not
ming you.” Sophia nodded and replied, “I know.”
Joel looked at her, as if there was something else he wanted to say, but in the end he held back. If he
really wanted to teach an ignorant person like Natasha a lesson, all he had to do was give a simple
order…
They had reserved a really big VIP room and were greeted by the sight of many people, most of them
men. There were some women too, but it was obvious that they were family members. Seeing this,
Sophia felt awkward and quietly tugged on Joel’s shirt.
“Didn’t you say that there were other family members attending?”
Joel didn’t answer her question. Instead, he pointed to a corner and said, “That’s your drill instructor.”
Sure enough, Sopia saw Commander Ford. He was dressed in casual clothes, looking quite charming.
Seeing him, Sophia happily walked over to greet him.
“Oh my, isn’t this Sophia who destroyed her ex-boyfriend’s reputation?” Commander Ford recognized her
in a heartbeat. Truth be told, a lot of people recognized her as soon as she showed up. She took a seat
and chatted with the instructors about the affairs regarding her military training. Before the food was
served, there were people arriving and soon, someone familiar appeared. “Wow, Sophia. Why is it that I
see you wherever I go?” Stanley said as soon as he entered the room.
“Why are you here?” Sophia asked as she looked at him strangely. Stanley found a seat and sat down.
“This is a veteran gathering. Why can’t I be here? I’m a real veteran!”
Sophia thought about it for a moment. He’s right. Even though he was only a soldier for two years before
he left the army, he’s still considered a veteran. There were many soldiers and veterans sitting around
the table. Now that they were gathered together, they had endless topics to talk about. They drank
alcohol, sang, chatted, and even arm wrestled. Food suddenly became the second most important thing.
Sophia liked to attend parties that were filled with men because she could drink wine and eat without
caring about women etiquette.
Everyone drank wine from big bowls so Sophia was embarrassed to use a small ss. She grabbed a
bowl of wine to drink but after only taking two sips, she felt her cheeks start to flush. Seeing this, Stanley
hurriedly took away her bowl of wine and said, “Stop drinking. If Uncle Michael finds out, he’ll beat me
up.”

Sophia wiped her lips and said, “You’re the one who’s going to get beaten up anyway. I’m not afraid.”
With that, she drank two more gulps of wine. She was not a regr drinker but the atmosphere that day
was really lively and as everyone else was drinking, she felt a little out of ce if she didn’t. Stanley
watched as she drank half a bowl and said, “Why did Uncle Michael let youe to this party? If I were
him, I wouldn’t allow you to go out for drinks.”
He also found it unbelievable Michael even let Sophia out with Joel. After all, Joel and Michael were two
family members who always fought each other whenever they met.
Moreover, Joel had a record. A few years ago, when something happened to Michael, Joel immediately
stepped in to get close with Sophia, even though they were not to me… Is there something wrong
with Uncle Michael? If I were him, I would definitely speed over here like a wild horse whose tail was on
fire, galloping at 230 kilometers per hour…
As soon as he finished thinking about it, he saw Joel stand up with a ss of wine in his hand and said,
“Is everyone here?”
Everyone answered in unison, “Yes, we are.”
As soon as they finished that sentence, the door of the VIP room was suddenly pushed open and a man
in a suit and leather shoes with looks of an angel entered. His appearance instantly made the other men
in the room look extra rough and uncouth.
“Sorry for beingte. There was a lot of traffic on the way…”
Seeing the man who just entered, there were two loud sounds of people spurting wine.
“Pfft!”
