Chapter 55: The rude soldier feeling dread?
Ava saw one of the female soldiers giving medical treatment to her sister and felt grateful toward the beautiful red-haired lady who kept her word to provide her sister with medical care.
As Isla is being treated by the female soldier, May orders Mark to continue and tell them about what had happened until now and why the bullet has been fired.
Mark, hearing the leader's order, started to explain the situation from the start word to word without changing anything from the moment he had heard the sound, and the rude solider was also listening to the story, ready to interrupt if he said something that he has not done to make him look bad in front of others.
May and all the soldiers present heard everything about how the rude officer with the facade of punishing them is enjoying torturing kids, showing his psychopathic tendencies, as everyone is displeased by the fact that one of the soldiers from their team had hit a little beggar that hard where he was already injured.
This is not punishment; he clearly has some issues with himself. As for when he mentioned in the story that it's not illegal, they felt he should be ashamed to be using these things on little beggars to enjoy hurting them to please himself.
But there are still a few who believe that even if the rude soldier who did this shouldn't be punished because of some Tier 3 city little beggar, it's in their minds. They wouldn't say it out loud as they personally wouldn't have done what he did to the little beggar, but they would still support him.
The majority of the soldiers, including those who are in support of the little beggar, and those who have supported the soldier earlier without hearing the story have changed their minds, and they are furious hearing one of their teammates had done such a horrible thing like hitting a weak little beggar where he was already injured.
They would never do something like that, as their pride wouldn't allow them to hit a little beggar where an injury is already present, knowing the little beggar couldn't even resist.
However, no one said anything in the leader's presence, but there was clear tension in the atmosphere; mostly everyone was glaring at the rude soldier to show their anger and contempt towards him, but he didn't show any reaction towards them as he doesn't think he has done anything wrong according to the law.
May, who had heard everything up until now, was fuming right if it were an accident; she would have given a light punishment, but intently hitting the little beggar on injury; she couldn't tolerate this but she didn't jump to conclusions, and said in a bone-chilling voice to the psychopath whose face doesn't show any remorse hearing everything as if he hadn't done anything.
"What this soldier is saying about you is that true, or do you want to say something regarding this?"
The rude soldier hearing her words can tell she is fuming right now, just like the pillar of justice right next to him and many others. However, everything Mark has said is right from word to word, and he doesn't find any mistake, however, he doesn't think she can do anything to him knowing he hasn't broken any law, so he says in a respectful voice.
"Yes, mam, everything is correct, but I don't think I have broken any laws." Trying to show that he is correct.
Internally, as usual, he seethed with humiliation at having to submit to her authority, despite her later entry into the military compared to him, fueling his sense of superiority and resentment.
Still, her ranker is three ranks higher than him; he even wondered sometimes if she had some connection with someone higher up to climb the rank so quickly by making a fake mission report that was done under her name by some elite squads.
May hearing his word felt enraged by how the soldier in front doesn't even think he is wrong, thinking that he is above the people living in Tier 3 city by using some shitty government law.
She had already decided to teach him a lesson he would never forget using the same law he was speaking in front of her and said in a cold emotional voice, having a calm expression on her face.
"Yes, you are right. You have not broken any law."
The rude soldier hearing the leader's words felt good knowing that even this hotty leader wouldn't be able to do anything to him for following the law; he felt stratified by this thinking he had gained a small payback for all the orders she had given him in this mission.
However, only a few soldiers who had followed her for many missions know that behind that calm face, there is a demon who is going to make him suffer until he begs for mercy for doing what he has done.
Even reminds her of the law, shamelessly claiming that he does not deserve punishment, and they don't mind because she usually does the right thing, and in this case, they also wanted to break these fucker bones.
So they are waiting for the upcoming twist in excitement, but those who haven't known her long and only heard the story don't think she is going to punish him, risking getting a complaint against her.
Ava and Isla hearing this felt a little disappointed, yet they didn't say anything, knowing they were also wrong here and her sister was already getting medical care, so she doesn't say anything, as she also didn't think a solider would get pusnished because of some dirty beggars living in the slums.
Now the only thing she wants to do is get the remaining medicine and get out of this chaotic place with her sister, so she is satisfied with the outcome so far, but if she ever gets the chance to take her revenge, she won't think twice; however, she doesn't think it's possible.
May had already made a plan on how to make this psychopathic soldier regret his doing and said in a calm voice, having no expression on her face.
"But soldier, you should be getting punished for not reporting to the highest ranking officer when you found the beggar near the truck invading our camps."
As she continued with the same tone. "Do you agree to this following the rules?"
The rude soldier hearing this had an ugly face, knowing he couldn't refuse it, and now he knew the leader never had an intention of letting him go and playing with the rules, but he didn't think she would be outrageous with punishment; that would get her a demotion, but her next words made a chill run through his spine.
"But do you know soldier how many ranks I have increased in the past year? Don't worry, I will tell you it's three, and even if I got a demotion, it wouldn't affect me much. I would eventually climb back up higher than before, and as for you, you will regret ever angering me." with a glint in her red eyes.
The rude soldier knew he had fucked up trying to play smart in front of an infamous demon; he had only heard her stories, and he doesn't believe many of them, but seeing how crazy she is, his doubts have become a little clearer now.
Now he knows he is fucked knowing he couldn't use force on her like a weak little beggar; she would probably shoot him down if he tried to attack her.
But his spirit is still present; he swears after today getting the punishment he will get his revenge on her future; however, currently, he is very scared, thinking about what horrible things are going to happen to him as a sense of dread washed over him.
The rest of the soldiers who heard her words gulped slightly seeing how crazy the leader's words were; they had never seen someone like her, and some felt relieved knowing they hadn't complained to her, showing their displeasure toward her, following a younger leader than them, or trying to side the unfortunate soldier in front whose fate is probably not good.
Most of them felt happy knowing how fearless their leader was as their loyalty and respect toward her increased even more, and those few who knew something like this were going to even feel proud standing in their spot, following such a fearless leader who doesn't care about the rule if they see some injustice in front of her.
Ava and Isla, hearing this, felt very grateful toward the beautiful red-haired lady. Now both of them started to trust her more and more, and they even wanted to do everything they could to replay her kindness, but both of them didn't think they had anything that would be helpful to her.
They wanted to ask her, but for now, both of them were waiting in their place to see how the beautiful red-haired lady was going to punish the psychopath. Some relief can be seen in their eyes, knowing he is getting what he deserves.
