Chapter 78: Destroying It
When Nuhra learned that Amiya and Samantha had been there, she didn't say anything. She just patted Chris's head and said, "Well done. After all, Amiya is not someone you can easily get along with..."
Chris sympathized, nodding his head rapidly. He said in an exaggerated tone, "I was so scared I was sweating. As soon as they left, I rushed to take a bath to cool off."
Nuhra was amused by Chris's description. She put her hands on Chris's shoulders and neck and massaged them, half to comfort him and half to relax him.
"Brother, when Dr. Lowe came to check on me today, he said I'm almost well again." Chris mentioned this tentatively, wanting to see what Nuhra thought first.
"Hmm..." Nuhra pondered for a moment, his expression unchanged, "Lovi also told me." Nuhra did not mention resuming training, and Chris was unsure what he meant, staring at Nuhra with expectant eyes.
Lowe did mention to Nuhra that Kris could resume training, but Nuhra disagreed. He knew Kris wouldn't just obey and throw himself into training...
He placed his hand on Kris's shoulder with a rather melancholy look, but still took the initiative to express his opinion: "Just like Lovi said, slowly resume training..." Nuhra always had no way to deal with Kris... He clearly realized that what the young man in front of him needed was not his all-round and meticulous care, but a space for free growth.
When Chris saw that Nuhra had already agreed before he even expressed his request, he was overjoyed and jumped out of the bed and kissed Nuhra: "That's great, brother, you can continue to be my teacher, okay?" Having achieved his goal, he still wanted to go further and refused to let Nuhra go.
Nuhra put his hands on Kris's side, worried that he would fall. Seeing Kris's happy expression, he couldn't help but smile, and said helplessly: "You, you..."
As soon as Chris pressed against Nuhra's body, the beautiful scenes of last night resurfaced in his mind, making him involuntarily imagine all kinds of things... Chris suddenly became quiet and gently pecked Nuhra's lips.
Nuhra sensed the restlessness coming from Chris's body. He himself was also distracted, but he forced himself to hold back and interrupted him: "Stop, stop, stop... Take care of yourself before you do anything stupid again." Chris was also a little embarrassed. He had just gotten rid of his virginity and was too excited to control himself.
Nuhra didn't push him away, letting Corris hold her tightly, maintaining the same position. After a while, Corris's reaction still couldn't subside, and he pushed Nuhra away with a flushed face: "Brother, let's deal with this."
In the end, the two of them helped each other to simply satisfy their physical needs, then sat down to talk. Nuhra, his coat buttons undone, was now leaning back on the bed, while Coris clung to his side, his chin, now even more pointed due to his weight loss, resting on Nuhra's shoulder.
Nuhra has been very busy recently. Whenever she has free time, she is dealing with all kinds of information on the terminal. Chris was tactful and did not ask too many questions. He also pretended not to see anything he should not have seen.
"...How are your friends preparing recently?" Tomorrow was the day for the original assessment, but now Nuhra and Coris were both suspended and injured, so they both missed it.
"They've been very busy lately, making preparations... I sent them some medicine and food." Chris shrugged.
Seeing that Corris wasn't upset by not being able to participate in the assessment, Nuhra stopped talking about it and changed the subject to talk about the current investigation. "One thing Amiya said is true. The situation is indeed very serious... Even a wanted criminal could disappear in broad daylight. Marshal Claire was furious with the military, and even the National Guard was on edge."
Even though Nuhra said this in a joking manner, Kris could still find unusual information in it: "Has Sered not been arrested yet?" Kris's eyebrows drooped, and a nervous and worried expression appeared on his face.
"The only thing we can be sure of is that he is still on the capital planet. The National Guard has not been able to find him, so we request assistance from the military." Nuhra said in a flat tone, as if he did not take the matter very seriously.
"There won't be anyone who cooperates on the surface but actually does nothing, right?" The corner of Chris's mouth twitched as he had a very rebellious idea.
Nuhra turned around and kissed Corris loudly on the cheek, saying jokingly, "Baby, you know a lot about the military. Have you ever thought about working there?"
Coris understood that Nuhra was mocking the fact that corruption in the military had become known to everyone, so he could only smile and remain silent.
"What should we do now?" asked Corris. He couldn't feel at ease until he caught Sered. He always felt that this man was up to something behind the scenes.
Nuhra lowered her head and wrote down her opinions on the terminal before saying to Corris, "Take this opportunity to check the black market and see if you can catch any big fish. The operation is scheduled for next week, so your friends probably won't have the chance to participate."
Corris wasn't particularly surprised by this development. After all, things had progressed to this point, with even the most powerful figures in the empire stepping in to voice their opinions. This was already a matter of political importance to the empire. Outsiders might never have known that so many major events had occurred in a single year. If it weren't for Corris's close relationship with Nuhra, he might have been completely unaware of this either.
"I hope they won't be dissatisfied with this arrangement." Chris's heart sank. He still remembered the previous arrangement.
Nuhra turned her head, carefully studying his expression, and calmly explained, "It's okay. Even if they disagree, the Jin and Davis families don't want their children involved. It's best to stay out of trouble... As for the other two students, someone will tell them what to do."
Since Nuhra had already made the arrangements, Kris had nothing more to say. He suddenly became curious: "Everyone in the military is worried. Is it because you have already found something? Are you just lacking irrefutable and conclusive evidence?"
Nuhra remained silent upon hearing this, gazing deeply into Corris's clear, bright eyes. He hesitated inwardly, then carefully considered his words and tentatively said, "Yes, and the number of people found to be problematic is quite large. Perhaps this trip will require a major reshuffle of the military."
Given the level of understanding between Kris and Nuhra, they didn't need too many hints. Kris felt something and asked softly, "Old Nar is in there too, right?" Although he used a questioning tone in his words, they both knew that this was probably true.
Korris spoke frankly, and Nuhra had no reason to hide it any longer. "Yes... a long time ago, we began investigating the Rui Leisi trading channels outside the capital planet, and we continued to send personnel to lurk there. Recently, when it came time to close the net, we eliminated many strongholds and obtained a lot of evidence."
In fact, Chris had a premonition about the dirty deeds committed by the Nar family. It would be better to say that deep down in his heart he was really looking forward to the day when old Nar was caught... In addition, Chris now had no feelings for them, and he didn't care about the life or death of the Nar family at all.
But Nuhra didn't know any of this. Kris couldn't act indifferent, so he could only lower his eyes in thought and simply answer, "Yeah, I understand." His lowered eyelids hid all his emotions. Nuhra was worried he couldn't accept it, so she pressed him, "Kris, do you need my help? Your family matters..."
Chris shook his head and pointedly said, "Please don't worry about me. After what they did to me, I have no feelings for this family anymore... Brother, thank you. Just deal with it according to the law."
Nuhra breathed a sigh of relief. He would definitely not let go of anyone involved in the case, but the Nar family was involved. Nuhra was worried that Chris would not be able to accept it, so he tested his intentions in advance. Fortunately, Chris did not care about these, so Nuhra could deal with the matter without any worries.
Nuhra knew that with what had happened to the Nar family, if Corris wanted to pursue a career in politics or the military, he would face even greater resistance. Thinking of this, his eyes grew deep and complex.
Nuhra was worried that he was not aware of the impact of these things, so he solemnly assured him: "From now on, if you want to enter the empire's military and political system, it will not be so easy... If you have this idea, you must tell me, I will do my best." He rubbed Corris's chin with the back of his hand with pity, guilt revealed in his eyes.
Chris didn't think too much about it. He himself didn't have any grand ideals of making great achievements. He just wanted to live a comfortable life from beginning to end. His biggest goal at the moment was to follow Nuhra into the Seventh Army. As for promotion and title, Chris didn't care.
Kris was worried that Nuhra would think he was trying to stay calm, so he chased after her and gave her a kiss. Nuhra responded doubtfully until Kris said maliciously, "Brother, why don't we continue what we just didn't finish..."
Nuhra was suddenly at a loss for words and held down the agitated Kress. He was completely convinced that Kress didn't care about these things. "Alright, alright, now's not the time to indulge in sensual pleasures. If you can be discharged from the hospital, come with me to work at the Seventh Army for a few days... and then return to the academy later."
Chris immediately expressed his willingness: "Great!" Now he didn't want to go back to the academy and face other people's inquiring eyes, nor did he want to bring new troubles to his friends.
With Nuhra's words, Chris felt more hopeful about being discharged, and stopped pestering Lowe with his constant questions. Lowe was amazed, but he still reminded him, "Being discharged doesn't mean everything is fine for you. Don't train too hard when you get home, and make sure you get plenty of rest, okay?"
Chris felt like he was hearing a monk chanting, and he wanted to stop listening, but he didn't dare to provoke Lovey... Once he showed any impatience, he believed that Lovey would not let him go. He sat obediently on the bed and listened to the doctor's advice until the doorbell rang several times.
Lovi stopped chattering, kindly opened the door for Chris, and left the ward to give Chris and his guest some space to talk alone.
Unexpectedly, the moment the door was opened, Lovi was stunned where he was... Collis didn't understand what he meant and called Lovi. Lovi was shocked for a moment as if he was struck by lightning, and like a mouse seeing a cat, he stood aside awkwardly, not saying a word, making way for the person outside the door.
Nuhra's adjutant Louis walked into the ward with a normal expression, and only they could catch each other's stunned expression at the moment of seeing each other unexpectedly.
When Corris saw Louis coming, he greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Adjutant Louis, what can I do for you?"
Louis stood at a suitable distance from the bed, neither too far nor too close. He rarely took off the thin-framed glasses that had been on his nose. Compared with his usual gentle appearance, he looked more heroic.
Lowe, who was supposed to be leaving, was standing nearby for some reason, staring intently at Louis's back. His gaze was so explicit that even Chris couldn't ignore it, and he was completely bewildered. Meanwhile, Louis, the center of the storm, seemed oblivious. He said calmly, "No, Mr. Chris, I'm no longer General Nuhra's adjutant. I've requested a transfer to the Seventh Army's Special Operations Squad."
Before Corris could react, Lowe, who had been eavesdropping silently from behind, could no longer sit still: "What!?" Lowe's undisguised scream was enough to draw everyone in the room's attention to him.
Lovi forced himself to suppress the urge to question, standing there with his arms folded. Angrily, he turned his head to the window, pretending to take in the scenery. Chris had a feeling something was amiss between the two, but he couldn't bring himself to ask directly. He pretended not to hear and continued his conversation with Louis. "So... well, thank you for all your hard work. What's the job like in the Special Operations Team?"
Louis nodded, thanked Chris for his concern, picked out some harmless details about the operation team, and got to the point: "Admiral Nuhra is about to appoint you as his assistant adjutant. I'm here this time mainly to explain this matter to you."
"Ah?" Chris sat up straight. He didn't expect Nuhra to transfer him to this position... He was a little overwhelmed. He was worried about whether he could be qualified for this position, and he was also vaguely afraid that he had taken Louis's position.
Lewis had a relieved smile on his face: "Don't worry too much, I took the initiative to apply for the transfer... I will also help you get started with the work content of the assistant adjutant as soon as possible."
Chris said nothing more and expressed his gratitude to Louis. Louis sent him some documents and work regulations in person, so that Chris could have some time to review them in advance.
Lovi stood there waiting for them to finish talking. When Louis said goodbye, he quickly followed Louis's steps and said, "I'm leaving first..." Chris was confused by their awkward appearance and said hesitantly, "Okay, goodbye?"
When Nuhra came back from get off work, Chris asked about this matter: "Is there any grudge between Dr. Lowe and Louis?" He had been holding this question in his mind for a long time, and he waited for Nuhra to come back before asking it.
Nuhra raised the corner of her mouth meaningfully, unwilling to say: "It's the old past, it's tangled, let them figure it out on their own." Chris understood that there was probably a lot of love, hate and vengeance involved, and he didn't want to get involved.
"Let's not talk about them anymore." Nuhra took off his military jacket and placed the dinner that the intelligent robot had brought on the table. He then called for Chris to come over and eat. "Eat first."
Chris had wanted to ask Nuhra about his transformation into an assistant adjutant, but it was already dinner time, so eating was more important.
After eating and drinking, Corris asked cautiously, "By the way, brother, how are the leaders of the Seventh Army? I'm parachuting in right next to you now. Do the others have any objections?"
Nuhra shook her head and said calmly, "Of course not. The Seventh Army has always spoken with strength. I believe your ability will definitely convince the others."
Two days later, when Corris was pinned to the floor of the training ground, he finally understood what Nuhra meant. It turned out that the Seventh Army had to rely on "ability" to win over the people. Did this "ability" refer to force?!
