Chapter 917 The Panther (Part Three)


    "What? My father called you up in person?" Kevin was astonished to hear that. His father seemed to


    have great expectations from his daughter-inw.


    "Yes, he did. So don''t worry! I have approved your leave. It seems to me you haven''t gone home in


    quite a long time, have you? Maybe your father misses you a lot," the Commander responded


    thoughtfully. Kevin had given up many holidays because of the nature of his work. He never really had


    time to go home and visit his family. As he thought about that, Kevin felt slightly guilty.


    "Thank you, Commander. Is that all you wanted to inform me of?" If so, he must have been crazy to ask


    Kevin toe to his office. He could have just told him that on the phone. It wasn''t such an important


    matter that the Commander felt the need to inform him in person.


    "Yes, sure! What else would I have to tell you?" Themander looked at Kevin, puzzled. What was


    the big deal if he called him here because of it?


    "Okay... I see." Kevin was speechless and rolled his eyes. He realized that the Commander was


    making fun of him.


    "What? Don''t you have anything to say?" The Commander could not help but feel giddy at the sight of


    Kevin''s silent resentment. Kevin was too upright. It was funny to make him the butt of his jokes


    sometimes. That way, he would brighten up a little.

    "No, Commander. I''m leaving if there isn''t anything else." Kevin knew that the Commander was like


    Peter Pan who hade to the real world. He was used to him and his childish antics. Kevin was not


    the only one who he made fun of anyway. He teased Daisy too.


    "Fine. You can leave now! Oh, by the way, tell Daisy I am looking for her. I have something to discuss


    with her." Apparently, Daisy had also been made into a target, exactly as he had expected.


    "Tell me, Commander! Are you nervous about the inspection in the afternoon? Is that why you are


    making fun of us? To ease your anxiety?" Kevin frowned at him. ''Come on, it is just an inspection!'' he


    thought. Why was the Commander overreacting to it, as if it was an enemy who was approaching


    them?


    "No, I''m not! Why should I be anxious? You are supposed to be nervous, not me." The Commander


    would never admit that he, in fact, was anxious because of them. He had received information that the


    military leaders wereing to the army base only in the name of inspection, but their true purpose


    was to select a new batch of Panther members. He was curious about who would qualify to be chosen.


    It was an honorable distinction. He wondered if Kevin''s and Daisy''s men would make it, since he had


    such high expectations from them.


    "What do you mean? Is this not purely an inspection? Do they have some other purpose?" Kevin


    looked at the Commander with a thoughtful expression in his eyes. He had a fine and intelligent mind.


    Kevin had an inkling that this old fox knew something in advance. Otherwise, he would not have


    pointed out that they should be the ones to be nervous, instead of him.


    "Well, you tell me." The Commander smiled mysteriously. He was a smart man who knew when to stop.


    That was all that he could tell him. He did not want to give away too much. Besides, he had been


    informed by his superiors that it was meant to be a secret. The soldiers they picked should not only be


    exceptional at their skills, but should also have good personalities and apanying qualities.


    "I tell you? I know nothing at all. What can I tell you? Can''t you be decisive enough to inform me of


    everything? Don''t be so deliberately mysterious." The two were best friends in private despite their age


    difference. They got along well. They interacted easily and casually with no pretext of superior and


    subordinate. That was also one of the reasons why Kevin did not like embarrassing Louisa too much.


    The Commander was her father after all.


    "Young man, do you know of the Panther?" The Commander raised his eyebrows, winking at him


    "Of course I know of them. No one in the military does not know that they are an extremely powerful


    military group." Kevin stared at the Commander with a helpless expression in his eyes. Everybody


    knew about Panther, so how could he not know? He had wanted to join them at a time in the past. But


    he had given up the dream, because then he would have had to stay in the capital city. He did not want


    to live too close to his home. It would make him feel like he was still under the protection of his family


    and would be very unfulfilling.


    "I''m d to hear that you know about them. So ask your men to behave well! They might have a


    chance to get in. But keep in mind not to inform them of it too clearly. Just give them a hint. Let us wait


    to see who will be the lucky ones. I am looking forward to the picks," The Commander instructed him.


    He had high expectations from Daisy''s and Kevin''s men. Their soldiers were strong, both


    psychologically and physically. He was not worried that they would fall behind the others. In fact, they


    were more likely to be selected.


    "I see. Are you also nning to tell Daisy about it? If yes, then well, I can just tell herter when I meet


    her." It was true that Panther as a group was very powerful. Still, they were only humans made out of


    flesh and blood. However, he was doubtful that his men would pass the final test and make it to the


    end. He did not look forward to the selections very much. He did not want them to bid for the chance in


    high spirits but get eliminated finally. It woulde as a great disappointment to them. Kevin was


    rational about expectations.


    "Yes, of course. Please tell her about it! I still have a report to go through. It would save my time now if


    you tell her when you two meet," the Commander replied and waved his hand at him, signaling him to


    leave quickly, as if he was attempting to chase away flies. He was somewhat disappointed at Kevin''s


    enthusiastic about the selections at all. The Commander was surprised.


    "Sure. Please, go on with your work! I will leave now," Kevin bid him adieu as he turned around and


    walked away. A small smirk appeared on his face. Yes, he had made it! He was finally able to fight him


    back. The Commander would not make fun of him next time, just because he wanted to kill his spare


    time and boredom.
