Chapter 228 A Month''s Worth Of Hard Training


    If Ca decided to go there directly, it was clear that she would head to her doom. She was not that


    stupid so she decided not to go to the airport.


    Instead, she paid a visit to Nichs.


    The moment that she stepped into the door, she knelt down.


    "Ca? What are you doing?" Nichs was quite taken aback by her behavior.


    Race took her arm and tried to help her up but she just ignored him.


    "Grandpa, I have one request. If you don''t give me your consent, I''ll just keep kneeling here." She


    bowed her head after her deration.


    "Come on. Don''t be like this. I will help you to the best of my ability. Come. Let''s sit down and talk about


    it." Nichs gestured for her to stand up and sit beside him.


    Ca raised her head slowly and looked at him with determination. She took a deep breath and said,


    "Grandpa, please. Train me.


    I don''t want to do this just to show off or to lose some weight. I want to be trained so that I could protect


    myself in the future. I want to be strong enough to defend myself against the enemies. I was kidnapped


    for two times. I was thinking... If I know some self-defense skills, I won''t have to wait for other people to


    Grandpa, I don''t mind working hard. I wish you could give me some lessons as soon as possible. I


    want to be stronger."


    Ca knew that he could help her. As a veteran, Nichs had trained countless of soldiers before. She

    just wanted to learn some self-defense skills.


    She was willing to ovee any weakness, despair, and fear.


    She didn''t want to be protected. She didn''t want to be the one to drag the group down whenever they


    face emergencies.


    "Ca, tell me. Why do you want to learn? Are you nning on finding Terence by yourself?" asked


    Nichs.


    He was experienced and had the ability to understand the motives of other people. He could read her


    mind.


    Ca had no intention of disguising her n. She nodded immediately.


    "Grandpa, I''ve made up my mind. I''m willing to do a month''s training. Trust me. I can do it. The training


    could help me rescue Terence. It was possible that he would be returned after a month. But if he


    wouldn''t... I''ll go to NF and find him myself!"


    The usually innocent and mild-mannered girl red firmly into his eyes. "I will find him and rescue him.


    I will spare nothing, even my own life!" swore Ca in a low but determined voice.


    At least, she wanted to try her best.


    "Good girl," murmured Nichs. He was moved by her devotion. "I''ll help you," Nichs promised her.


    ''How blessed you are, Terry, to be loved by a girl like this!'' thought Nichs.


    Ca could wait for Terence if she wanted her safety guaranteed.


    Even if Terence didn''te back, or worse, lost his life, she was not the one to be med.


    The Ans would treat her well and provide her with an affluent life.


    However, Ca still chose to risk her life to help Terence.


    "I promise you. I''ll introduce the best training officer to you. You can stay here with me for a while. If you


    can bear the hard work, I''ll help you,"


    Nichs pped his thigh and dered.


    "Okay. Grandpa, please keep your promise!"


    Ca was extremely happy that she gave him a high-five.


    The training officer arrived the next day.


    Ca immersed herself in the training. Of course, it was impossible for her to be a skilled fighter


    like Terence in such a short time.


    It was because shecked the basic skills that was not easily developed in a short period of time.


    The trainer taught her some basic moves which were enough for her to defend herself and deal with


    some enemies. The training also included practices in agility and reaction stability. It enabled her to


    sense danger and take effective measures.


    The trainer was a top ranking officer in the army. He had umted a wealth of experience in military


    operations. He taught her some clever tactics that was suitable for women. Women''s physical strength


    was usually inferior to men''s but their opponents were more likely to be men so it was only natural for


    them to pay more attention to strategies.


    Nichs stood at the window, observing them.


    Ca was sparring with some young fighter in the courtyard. Nichs was delighted but at the same


    time, he felt regret.


    He was delighted because Ca kept her word but at the same time, he regretted agreeing to her n.


    His heart ached when he saw the sweat that was dripping down her face because of the burning sun.


    ording to the training officer, Ca had a rtively good physical ability.


    She could run fast and it indicated that she had some athletic ability. The trainer tried his best to


    enhance her ability. Ca was able to make great progress in a short time.


    She also learned to use guns, daggers and sticks to defend herself.


    In a brutal ce like NF, there was no restrictions on arms so she must learn how to shoot.


    Ca also acquired the habit of running two hours a day. It helped her build her stamina and it also


    helped boost her immune system. She wanted to stay healthy while preparing to go in a dangerous


    ce.


    Time went by so quickly and after a month''s worth of hard training, everything came to an end.


    She spared no effort in training herself. She became stronger and stronger but she hoped that the skills


    that she learned would never be of use. One month passed and there was still no news about Terence.


    She kept her phone off most of the time but she would turn it on as soon as she was finished with her


    training to call Terence. Of course, he never answered her calls.


    Ca made up her mind. She told Nichs that she would set out at dawn.


    Nichs understood her eagerness. He assigned her some bodyguards that would keep herpany


    during the trip.


    He expected her to give up half way but she was determined to push through.


    The night before her departure, Ca got a call from Noah.


    Nichs told her specifically to get a good rest so she didn''t attend thest training to go to bed early.


    "Ca? What are you doing these days? Are you okay? I called you a hundred times but I never got


    through!" inquired Noah anxiously.


    Every time he tried contacting her, her phone was switched off. He looked for her crazily because


    nobody knew her whereabouts.


    Ca gazed at the starlit sky while smiling in silence. It dawned on her that she hadn''t been enjoying


    the beauty of the night for a long time. The training was so hard and strict that she fell asleep as soon


    as her head touched the pillow.


    "Noah, I''m going to find him," said Ca in a soft voice.


    Noah was silent for a few seconds. He was surprised to hear her words. "Ca, do you even know


    what you are saying? Terence has been missing for a month. Forgive me for being blunt but the chance


    of his survival is slim. How are you going to find him now?


    You don''t know what you are up against."


    "Yes, I know," Ca shrugged indifferently. "However, I believe that he''s still alive and he''s waiting for


    me. I will find him no matter what you say."


    Terence promised that he would be with her forever. He would never go back on his word.


    Terence would not lose the game if his opponent was Marcus. Ca was confident that he would


    seed.


    What she didn''t know was that Marcus had hooked up with two other forces because he was


    determined to end Terence''s life.


    She also didn''t know that Noah was one of them.


    "Ca, please. I beg of you. Don''t put yourself in danger!" Noah persuaded her earnestly.


    "Noah, I told you my n because I regard you as my friend. You are like an elder brother to me. If it


    wasn''t for that, I wouldn''t have told you my ns." Ca took a deep breath. Her head was erect and


    her back was straight. She was ready to face the unknown.


    "Please don''t try to persuade me. I won''t change my mind."


    Ca hung up the phone decisively.


    Noah smashed his phone into pieces in anger.


    "What an ignorant stupid girl!" roared Noah. "Terence is dead! Dead as a door nail! Why is she


    sacrificing herself for him!" He was trembling with fury.


    He suddenly noticed that he was starting to care too much for Ca. He genuinely wanted her to be


    safe. He thought that he was just pretending at first but eventually, his affection for her became much


    more than what he had expected.


    Todd was standing behind Noah. He cleared his throat to announce his presence. "Mr. Noah, I think


    that this is for the best. She is seeking her own doom. We didn''t even need to do anything to her.


    If she is killed in NF, you will be the only heir to the family. Isn''t that what we want?"


    Noah clenched his fist and mmed it down on the table.


    He closed his eyes slowly. There was a look of confusion and pain on his face.
