---- Chapter 2233 Philip stared at Luna until she felt chills run down her spine. Then, he finally said, "Yes, Andrew''s codename in the organization was Shadow. Since you''re so determined to know and you''ve been digging around relentlessly, ignoring all my warnings, I''ll tell you everything tonight. "He had many codenames: Shadow, Lone Wolf, Zero Hour, The Silencer, and the one the Western underground knew best: Death. All of these were Andrew''s former identities.
He could be anyone, do anything, including executing a major general like you, all within the organization''s authority." Luna''s face grew progressively paler. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "So he''s an executioner, a selfish coward who values his own life above others. A squad like Iron Cavalry was ced under hismand, and in the end, only he crawled back alive like a dog, right? "He was the organization''s golden boy, a candidate for future leadership with incredible power. He could dispose of military major generals at will. I don''t see any of this as honor...<fncbad> This content belongs to find?novel</fncbad>
It''s all a disgrace!" Philip let out a cold, disdainfulugh. "Disgrace? Luna, let me ask you something... How old are you?" ---- This random question caught Luna off guard, but she responded defiantly. "I''m twenty-nine years, six months, and three days old today. Sir, what does this have to do with our discussion?" Philip suddenly roared, "The connection is that you''ve wasted every single one of those years... You''re foolish! Stupid beyond belief! And it''s not just you. Conrad is just as much of an idiot. That''s why, after he returned to Chetvine, I gave him a direct order.
He is never to set foot in my residence again. He is no longer my student, period." Luna''s face went ashen as she croaked, "Why? Why do you act so strangely every time Andrew''s namees up?" Philip shot to his feet, his eyes zing with fury as he yanked at his military uniform. Finally, he snarled through gritted teeth, " Because I''ve already taught you both something crucial: If you don''t know the truth, don''t jump to conclusions. "You''re a soldier, and your job is to follow orders from your superiors. I am your superior, and I told you to stop prying.
Did you listen?" His shouts grew louder with each word. Strangely enough, the other personnel in themand center acted as if they heard nothing, continuing their duties. In reality, everyone had their ears perked up, listening intently to every ---- word. Nheless, Philip''s reputation was too fearsome, and his methods were too harsh for anyone to dare interrupt. They could only pretend to know nothing. "Luna, the first rule for a soldier is to obey orders. What''s the second rule I taught you? Answer me!" Philip bellowed, his expression terrifying.
Luna could not help but shudder, stammering fearfully, "The second rule is that lifees above everything else. As a qualifiedmander, you cannot casually send your soldiers into danger without clear intelligence about the battlefield, enemy situation, and circumstances. Because every soldier''s life is the most precious thing in this world." Philip mmed his palm down on the table with thunderous force, sneering coldly. "So you know that every soldier''s life is precious. Do you think Andrew is as stupid as you and Conrad, that he doesn''t know this?
"Do you really believe Iron Cavalry was wiped out while he alone survived because he was a coward? Do you honestly think their enemies, the Dark Trinity known as the Spear of Death, are also idiots? "They eliminated every member of Iron Cavalry but conveniently spared him, letting him return to continue being the West''s ---- greatest threat? Please, use your brain and think this through. "This should be obvious to anyone with half a brain, but Conrad has never figured it out. I never imagined you''d be just as stupid.
That''s not how I trained you." Luna''s face shifted from pale to deathly white, then to a sickly gray. Even thest traces of color drained from herplexionpletely. Her lips trembled as she whispered, "Are you saying Conrad and I have been wrong about him all along? The truth isn''t what we thought it was?"<style>
