Chapter 316: You Have a Problem With My Emergency Response Team?

“No, Adjutant Lucy is very capable. Thanks to her help, otherwise, I wouldn’t be so relaxed.”

Lucas said with some melancholy, “Lucy is indeed very outstanding. In the past, I still hoped that she could take over my position… But now, it’s impossible.”

Lugh did not reply.

Lugh never regretted killing all of Lucy’s pets and bombarding the Pavilion of Treasures.

Lucy had brought this upon herself.

Of course, Lugh did not like to dig up old scores. At least Lucy had been doing well recently.

“Major Lugh has just returned to Skylight City, right?”

Lugh nodded. “We just returned today.”

“Speaking of which, recently Major Lugh’s reputation…”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

The aunt ran over to open the door. As soon as she did so, a middle-aged woman dressed in gorgeous clothes walked in.

She had a cold expression on her face. She raised her chin slightly and swept her gaze across the crowd. As soon as she saw Lucy, she said with a strange tone, “Niece, I didn’t expect you to come back. I thought you were going to be a soldier for the rest of your life.”

“I heard that you even served tea and water for others.” The woman sneered and said, “Our family spent so many resources to train you just to let you become a soldier and work for others? Just to let you become an adjutant for the Emergency Response Team?”

The smile on Lucas’ and his wife’s faces gradually collapsed.

Even Percy’s face was filled with frost.

Percy held her sister Lucy’s hand tightly and looked at her father.

Lucy lowered her head and did not speak.

Lucas was about to speak, but Lugh was one step ahead of him.

He raised his head and leaned forward. He stared at the woman with a serious expression and asked, “Excuse me, are you dissatisfied with Lucy joining the army because you have a problem with our Emergency Response Team?”

Lugh’s voice was very suppressed. Anyone could feel his suppressed anger.

The woman felt a wave of pressure.

Only then did she notice Lugh’s military uniform and the epaulet on his shoulder.

She was not afraid of an ordinary member of the Emergency Response Team.

But the problem was the identity of the Major.

In the Southwest Military, the Major was already in the upper-middle class of the army.

Such a young Major belonged to the Emergency Response Team and was with Lucy. That woman could almost guess the identity of Lugh.

When she saw Lucy in front of the bedroom just now, she didn’t pay much attention to Lugh beside her.

She thought that Lugh was just an ordinary friend of Lucy’s Emergency Response Team.

But she didn’t think that that person might be Lugh.

After all, she was very clear about the conflict between Lucy and Lugh.

“Please answer my question seriously.” Lugh’s tone became even more serious. “Do you have any objections to our Emergency Response Team?”

That woman felt a terrifying pressure.

“No, how is that possible? How could I have such thoughts?” The woman hurriedly shook her head and said, “How could I have any objections to the Emergency Response Team? I admire General Paul the most.”

Hehe.

She would not be so stupid.

Paul and Bania’s attention to Lugh was not a secret in the upper-class society of Skylight City.

She dared to say that she had objections against the Emergency Response Team. As long as Lugh mentioned it to Paul, Bania, and the others, their family might be targeted by the Southwest Military.

In this day and age, no one in the Southwest was willing to be targeted by the Southwest Military.

The Pavilion of Treasures had been reduced to such a state. Their family business was small, and they couldn’t afford to suffer.

Moreover, she was also aware of Lugh’s recent mission to wipe out the Beast God Cult in the North of the Southwest.

A seventeen-year-old Platinum-level expert, the Captain of the 14th emergency team, a strong bloody hand, outstanding abilities, accumulated battle merits, and the support of a strong backer…

No one would underestimate this young man.

“Then what do you think of Lucy joining the emergency team?”

“I support her very much,” the woman said with a smile. “It’s good to protect our country. Our family supports her very much.”

At this moment, she regretted it.

If she had known earlier that Lugh had come with Lucy…

She wouldn’t have said anything.

Lugh’s question was extremely forceful.

However, Lucas and his wife sat at the side and did not interrupt.

Or rather, neither of them wanted to.

Percy stared at Lugh, her beautiful big eyes flashing non-stop.

Lugh’s frown deepened. He continued to ask, “Then what you said just now means that Lucy is very wronged as an adjutant?”

“Haha, that’s not the case.” The woman continued to shake her head, “Major Lugh is a dragon and phoenix among men. It’s her honor for Lucy to be valued by Major Lugh.”

What she said was indeed true.

If Lugh didn’t already have an adjutant, there would be many people from influential families who were willing to introduce the outstanding children of their families to Lugh as an adjutant.

The adjutant of the military chief was just like the boss’ secret technique.

Although they did all sorts of miscellaneous work, they were almost all the leaders’ trusted aides.

As long as they followed the right boss with a promising future, their status would also rise.

Just like Adjutant Clive of Barnard. Although his military rank was low and his strength was weak, the fourteen captains of the Emergency Response Team still treated him with courtesy.

“Mm, then I might have misheard you just now.”

“It’s probably because I’m a dumb person and don’t know how to speak that Major Lugh misunderstood me.”

Lugh smiled. He felt that this woman was quite tactful.

However, he did not plan to pursue this matter any further.

After all, she was Lucy’s family.

“Then Lucas, Major Lugh, take your time to chat. The porridge at my house is still boiling. If I don’t go back now, it will be burnt.”

Lugh nodded.

Lucas also said, “Then sister-in-law, you can go.”

Only then did Lugh know the identity of this woman, Lucas’ big brother’s wife.

“Then goodbye.”

Lucas’ sister-in-law closed the door and let out a long sigh of relief.

When she returned home, she angrily smashed the house.

She did not expect that Lugh would actually stand up for Lucy.

Didn’t they say that they had a grudge?

After having a meal at Lucas’ home, Lugh roughly understood the whole process.

Because Lucas had become the person in charge of the Southwest Region of the Pavilion of Treasures, their family business had cooperated with the Pavilion of Treasures and earned quite a bit of money.

However, because Lucy had provoked Lugh, the Southwest Military had dealt a blow to her, which had also caused the dissatisfaction of many higher-ups of the Pavilion of Treasures. In addition, the Pavilion of Treasures had sent a King-level powerhouse to the Southwest Region to take charge, Lucas’ authority and position in the Southwest Region of the Pavilion of Treasures had been greatly weakened.

This had also directly caused their family to lose many of their joint ventures with the Pavilion of Treasures. Their income had been greatly reduced.

It could be said that the entire family was very unhappy with Lucy.

Even Lucas felt pressured.

Lugh smiled, “They forgot that they were able to earn so much money because you’re the person in charge of the Southwest Region of the Pavilion of Treasures.”

“It’s hard to say. My family gave me a lot of help in the early stages. Without my family, I wouldn’t have been able to get to where I am today.”

After the meal, the guests enjoyed themselves to the fullest.

Because of the matter of speaking up for Lucy earlier, her mother’s hostility toward Lugh had lessened quite a bit.

Her mother even helped Lugh with the dishes, acting extremely friendly.

Lugh knew her intention, but he also accepted it.

In the evening, Lucy’s car directly sent Lugh home.

“Okay.”

Lucy turned into the car.

When she returned home, Lucy was called into the study by Lucas.

Lucy’s mother also followed.

Lucas asked, “How have you been for the past six months?”

“Not too bad.”

“You’ve all lost weight,” Lucy’s mother said with heartache.

Lucas asked, “Lugh’s relationship with you should be good, right?”

“Major Lugh’s personality is very good. He doesn’t pursue my past matters. He still listens to me well.”

Lucy knew what her parents wanted to know.

“That’s good, that’s good.”

Even though Lucy had made a mistake and implicated Lucas, the Pavilion of Treasures, and her family…

But as parents, even if their children had made a huge mistake, they would still forgive them.

What Lucy’s parents were most afraid of was that Lucy would be wronged by Lugh.

After all, the two sides had a feud first. Even if Lucas managed to get through to Barnard, it might not be safe.

Now that they knew that Lucy’s relationship with Lugh was pretty good, seeing that Lugh was willing to speak up for Lucy, at least Lucy’s life following Lugh would not be too bad.
