Chapter 1499
Jumping with joy, Carmentched herself to Lorelei. “L! When did you arrive?”
Lorelei warmed up to Carmen upon seeing thetter. “We’ll be weing the freshers today. They
seem to be a little disobedient! How dare a bunch of newbies be so arrogant?”
The girls walked away while they chatted, but Lorelei didn’t speak with Bailey when they saw each
other, as they both considered it sufficient as a greeting when they exchanged looks earlier. Therefore,
Bailey pushed his bike while walking beside the girls as they spoke, all the while mentally eximing
on how Lorelei had bloomed into her true self by staying with the Fletchers; that was where she truly
belonged.
Lorelei was feared among the freshers. Furthermore, Flynn rk had his name called out directly by
her earlier, so he almost burst into tears out of his intense fear for her. At that moment, Poppy
appeared out of nowhere to scare him. “Aha! You’re done for! The general called for you! Flynn, you
should be prepared! The following month will be hell for you!”
Flynn was on the verge of tears. As if having realized something, he asked Poppy, “Is Carmen the
commanding general’s sister?”
However, his question went unanswered as Poppy left to tter Lorelei, or else it could easily be her
turn to get singled out for theing month. Flynn stared at Carmen—who seemed to be close to
Lorelei—in confusion while she hugged Lorelei. She seemed to be totally different from who I thought
she was! Lorelei hailed from the prestigious Fletcher Family, so does Carmen being her sister mean
that she is also a Fletcher? No, that’s impossible! How could a Fletcher possibly work as a mere
security guard?

Unfortunately, he would never get to know the truth, nor did he have time to brood on the subject any
longer, as the military training would soon begin. Lasting for a period of a month, the training was an
obstacle that one would be required to pass if one wished to enter Bayside University. Every year, there
were a lot of students who would voluntarily drop out of the university as they couldn’t handle the
training.
On the other hand, Lorelei already knew of Bailey and Carmen’s rtionship. The Fletchers were also
keeping a close eye on them. Cooper’s nuclear bomb and the Fletchers’ army were all targeting Bailey
like thousands of knives that were pointing at him, so he had a lot of pressure on him. After all, being
an old son-inw was never easy. However, Bailey chose to go down that road nheless.
The sisters parted ways after briefly catching up with each other, since Lorelei had a job to do; she still
had to train a bunch of youngsters. Poppy, Hope, Ashton and Albert, who were all among the same
batch of freshers, were attending to Lorelei in hopes of getting on her good side, since they knew the
military training would be taking a toll on them.
Upon leaving the school, Bailey rode on his bike with Carmen sitting behind him. While on their way
back, Carmen suggested out of the blue, “Bailey, why don’t we join the military training too?”
She never knew what the military training was about, as she never was involved in it. Although the
Fletchers would organize simr trainings for their children every summer, she missed out on all of
them as she was studying away from home. Initially, she intended it as a joke, but unexpectedly, Bailey
agreed to it without hesitation. “Sure.”
By the next day, the two of them got onto the bus that would take them to the military base. Seeing
them on the bus devastated Poppy. “Why are you two here? You can literally go do anything else if you
have too much free time to spare!”
However, Carmen didn’t answer her. Instead, she took a nap while leaning against Bailey’s shoulder. In
turn, he held her shoulder too, which seemed to indicate that their rtionship was making rapid
progress. Nevertheless, Bailey still held on to his principle, for he would never cross that final line
before she was eighteen. The previous incident was merely an ident considering that he was drunk.
On the other hand, Casper also applied to join the training after catching wind of their attendance, but
he quickly realized that he had no business joining it in the first ce. Carmen had afortable nap
while leaning against Bailey’s shoulder before waking up at the military base.
Bailey looked extraordinary in the military uniform. Not only was he tall and handsome, but his emerald
eyes gave him an air of mystery. His blond hair was also noticeable within the crowd who all had ck
hair. The military uniform he wore gave him an added advantage to attract the attention of young girls.
As soon as they arrived at the base, Carmen noticed that a lot of girls were trying to strike a
conversation with him as well as getting his contact.
The sight of it irked Carmen, so she hurried over to hold his hand, dering her rtionship with him
before dragging him away just like a kitten trying to protect its food from being taken away. Bailey
shook his head with a smile on his face, all the while turning his palm around to hold her hand and
allowing her to drag him away. From then on, they had a tacit agreement to hold hands whenever they
met up. Their rtionship had seen major progress throughout the training program.
Since they were the ones who took the initiative to join the training, Lorelei wasn’t about to go easy on
them, so she assigned them into the Superb Company. Almost all of the descendants from the Four
Great Families and the Yard Family were assigned to thatpany due to their parents’ request.
Contrary to the other parents who were worried that their children might suffer during the training
program, the Four Great Families all put in requests to increase the intensity of their children’s training.
Lorelei oversaw thepany’s training personally, as she was adamant to go about things the right
way. Therefore, they started off their first day of the training program with a so-called ‘death match’.
Casper rubbed his palms together expectantly. With ten years of experience in mixed martial arts, he
volunteered to join Bailey’s group to get a chance to fight him. He even signaled to Hope and Ashton to
join him in the opportunity to defeat Bailey.
However, Hope shook his hands to indicate that he dared not join in the fray, nor did Ashton agree to it.
Thetter needed to maintain an immacte outward appearance, as his career depended on it. Out of
them all, Albert feared Bailey the most, as he didn’t want Carmen to clobber him like when they were
still kids if he everid a finger on Bailey.
In the end, Casper stood in front of Bailey alone while saying savagely, “Bailey, we’ve known each
other for a long time. I heard that you learned martial arts, so I’d like to have a match with you! Come
on! You don’t have to hold back! Give me your best!”
“Sure. Let’s fight.”
With that, Casper got a good beating from Bailey in front of all the girls on the first day of the training,
being repeatedly pummeled to the ground again and again, and again. Finally, Casper arrived before
Carmen with bruises all over his face while he wept. “Bailey hit me! He hit me! Look at what he had
done to me!”
However, Carmen didn’t take pity on him. “You got what you deserved! Bailey and L are from the
same family, so you should’ve known how strong he is just by seeing how strong L is!” Bailey
wouldn’t have survived if he were weak.
With that, Casper left tearfully with Hope’s support. In spite of his spectacr defeat, Casper still
refused to admit it, so he continued topete with Bailey in every other way he could find, only to
realize that he seemed to fall short in all regards when it came to Bailey.
A monthter, the military training ended with Casper having bruises all over his face. On the other
hand, both Carmen and Bailey had a tan when they returned. They had also gotten to the stage of
holding hands all the time with each other.
As usual, Cooper maintained his deathly re when he met Bailey. He had arranged a group of people
to join the military training, hoping that they could teach Bailey a lesson, but all of them wound up being
intimidated by him. Geez! That bunch of cowards!
