Chapter 367 A Captain Position For Raven?
Chapter 367 A Captain Position For Raven?
The moment Raven finished speaking, the area around the platform, already quiet, fell into an eerie silence.
Every soldier who heard Raven’s words froze in place.
They thought, ‘Wait, did we really hear that right? The girl Miles brought along just casually called Commander Bradley by his name?
‘And she even joked about whether she should salute him? Isn’t that just common sense? How many people in the entire military could meet Commander Bradley without saluting him? Where did she get the nerve to ask something like that?‘ But no one seemed to notice the strange expressions on the faces of a few soldiers who had been acting off ever since Raven showed up. Their looks were so complicated that it was impossible to decipher.
Sure, commanders of equal rank exchanged salutes when they met, but that rule didn’t apply to the general.
Who in their right mind would expect the general to take the initiative to salute someone else?
Still, watching General Valor look like she was being forced to salute Commander Bradley was so ridiculous that they couldn’t help but find it funny.
Meanwhile, Lionel, who had never met Raven before, had only one thought after hearing her words. ‘Miles’s granddaughter has completely lost it.‘
It didn’t take him long to regain his composure.
A faint sneer tugged at the corners of his mouth as he glanced at Raven.
At first, he had been cautious, unable to dig up any information about her and suspecting she might have some kind of special background. But now, it was obvious his concerns were pointless.
‘Before I even make a move, she’s already digging her own grave, he thought with a cold chuckle. ‘Well, she really takes after her grandfather–both as clueless as they come.‘
With that, his mocking gaze shifted to Miles.
At that moment, Miles finally snapped out of the shock caused by Raven’s explosive remark.
He instinctively glanced at Tony, his face a mix of nervousness and helplessness.
“Commander Bradley, she’s young and clueless. Please don’t take her words to heart.”
Tony, already thrown off by Raven’s earlier question, felt like his brain had short–circuited. As if her shocking question about whether saluting was necessary wasn’t enough, Miles was making things worse now.
Tony thought, ‘Young and clueless? If she were young and clueless, she couldn’t have become a general in the military. No, in the entire military, who would even dare to call her clueless? Not me, not even Lorne.‘
Meanwhile, Lionel was completely oblivious to Tony’s unusual reaction.
He stared coldly at the visibly flustered Miles and immediately stepped forward to question him, “Captain Henderson, does your granddaughter even have the basic respect for Commander Bradley? She doesn’t even seem to respect him at all. “And you still want me to help her get a captain position through Commander Bradley? Is she even remotely qualified?” The soldiers froze for a moment, stunned by Lionel’s words.
In the next instant, their gazes turned to Miles, blazing with fury.
They thought, ‘A captain position? What makes her qualified for that position?‘
They were all low–ranking soldiers who had clawed their way up through endless training and risking their lives on the battlefield.
And now, Miles–a man who hadn’t even taken down ten enemies in his entire career–wanted to hand such a position to some young girl? What a joke!
The moment Lionel finished speaking, it felt like a thunderclap exploded in Miles’s mind.
In that instant, a thought flashed through his mind. ‘It’s over!‘
If Lionel had phrased it differently, there might have been a slim chance to secure the captain position for Raven under Tony’s approval.
But now, that chance was gone–completely gone
Successfully unlocked!
Worse, Raven had become the target of everyo
future in the military was as good as ruined.
‘No, Miles thought. ‘I’ve fought so hard to secure her future. How can I become the one to ruin it?‘
Just as he was about to expose Lionel’s crimes and risk everything in a desperate gamble, Tony finally snapped out of his thoughts from the huge amount of information contained in Lionel’s words.

Slowly, he turned to Miles, his expression unreadable. “Who did you say you were trying to secure a captain position for?”
