"Two hundred?"
The male officer was taken aback, voicing his surprise, "Mr. Reed…"
Egbert cast a casual glance at him.
The words on the tip of the officer's tongue instantly retreated.
Actually, two hundred squats were not a big deal for female soldiers, and this level of intensity wasn't even worth mentioning.
But these stars, they were not professional soldiers, how could they endure such hardship? They wouldn't be able to complete it.
The three female celebrities were also frightened.
Jaqueline's eyes reddened instantly, she said fearfully, "Mr. Reed, we didn't mean to…"
Egbert said coldly, "Before you speak, report. Didn't you hear just now? Three hundred squats, begin.”
He just added another hundred?
Jaqueline was so scared that tears instantly fell.
Edna and Patti immediately fell silent.
In the end, the production team stepped in to negotiate.
Three hundred squats were simply too much, even the director, a former soldier, thought it was a bit excessive.
The director asked if they could stick to the original twenty squats, just for show.
Egbert glanced at the director and said sarcastically, "Sure."
The director sighed in relief.
Egbert added, "You can even do zero, just take your people and leave."
The director was speechless.
Edna, Patti, and Jaqueline were completely clueless about how things had turned out this way. They were delicate girls. Shouldn't girls be treated favorably under any circumstances?
This was still a television program, in front of an audience, why couldn't Egbert take more care of the girls?
The director was having a headache, so he went aside and called Major Warner.
Inviting Egbert as an instructor was due to Major Warner's connections.
After the call connected and Major Warner heard the situation, he said directly, "Egbert's way of doing things is not something that others can interfere with."
The director was anxious, "But this isn't his Moonlight Raptors Team 1, these aren't his soldiers."
Major Warner clicked his tongue, "When you invited him, you promised, all actions follow his command, zero intervention in the program, if you now want to break his rules, you tell him yourself, it has nothing to do with me."
With that, Major Warner hung up directly.
With Major Warner unwilling to help, the director could only go and communicate with the three female guests.
The three were almost driven mad when they heard that they really had to do three hundred squats.
At this time, Egbert was already impatient. He gestured "start" at the two officers.
The male officer immediately shouted to the remaining five guests, "Left turn."
Eileen followed and turned left.
The officer led the five guests to start their morning run.
Eileen was at the back, her head occasionally turning back to look at Egbert in front of the building.
Every time she turned around, she could see that Egbert was also looking at her.
He stood on the steps, straight and proud, his face was solemn and detached.
He looked quite real.
Only when she couldn't see Egbert anymore, Eileen turned her head back and continued running, her face full of confusion.
Meanwhile, a female officer had come over to Edna and the other two.
She ordered, "Begin."
The three girls looked at each other, then turned their sad faces towards Egbert, hoping he would show mercy.
Seeing that Eileen had run far away, Egbert turned and walked into the lounge, not sparing a glance at anyone else.
The female officer said, "Mr. Reed's military discipline is strict. You either comply or drop out. You decide."
In the end, all three obediently squatted down and started doing squats.
Edna and Patti each did two hundred squats, and Jaqueline did three hundred. There was no time limit, they just had to finish.
At this time, the live comments were flooding in.
