Chapter 22. Welcome (2)

‘Come to think of it, there was no way Nadia would have been able to come to work if he had hit her… That’s right. No matter how crazy he is, he still retains chivalry.’

As the deputy commander struggled to understand the situation, Lexion quickened his pace,

“Let’s go.”

The deputy commander nodded hesitantly. His suspicions had not been completely dispelled.

Under normal circumstances, Lexion would have reprimanded him for his intrusive behavior, but today he had no energy to do so.

When he woke up this morning his drunkenness had already passed, and he didn’t feel any of last night’s anger, as if it had been a lie.

That bothered him.

That was the reason why he was in a bad mood, and also the reason why he let go of the woman who promised to make her live hell.

Judging by her expression, she didn’t care where to go as long as she ran away.

‘It’s best if she’s out of my sight. I’d rather she fuck off like everyone else.’

He looked for a moment sulkily in the direction Nadia had disappeared into, then began his day mechanically.

In Lexion’s head, the woman from last night had already disappeared.

For now, it was not in his plans to cause Nadia any real torment.

For now.

After the morning training, Lexion returned to his office.

The knights, who had prepared themselves for excruciating pain, seemed bewildered by the unexpectedly light training.

“Is the commander in a better mood?”

The knights whispered with a smile to each other once Lexion left.

‘Does it seem like they still don’t know the crazy dog well?’

Matthias clicked his tongue as he watched the pathetic guys.

Lexion Armada was a man who would not stop until he hit his target. The reason the knights were safe today was because the prey in his mind was not among them. Lexion had not calmed down yet.

‘So, who the hell is the poor victim marked by that crazy dog…?’

Matthias couldn’t shake the unfortunate intuition that his target was Nadia, so he followed Lexion to his office,

“Commander, I don’t know what happened. But please, leave her alone.”

“Who do you mean by ‘her’?”

“I’m talking about Miss Nadia. The girl we saw early this morning.”

“Mind your own business.”

As expected, he received a murderous response.

“Medical Officer Nadia is someone tied to a lifetime contract. If she quits her job here, she will end up on the street.”

“I don’t care.”

Even though he explained her circumstances, the crazy dog remained in the same line.

‘It’s a pity.’

It seemed like he had firmly marked her as his target.

Matthias’ face darkened.

He appealed to sympathy in an attempt to protect Nadia, but as expected, Lexion was not moved in the least.

“Don’t let anyone in.”

Lexion didn’t want to hear any more about Nadia, so he ordered Matthias to leave and locked himself in his office.

‘Ugh, what a bad temper he has.’

Matthias, whose complaints towards his superior filled his head, did not realize it until the end.

‘Lexion at no time denied ‘beating’ Nadia…’
