The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 391

Rufus' POV:

I looked at these newbies gloomily. They were all young werewolves who had just been recruited. At a glance, I knew that they were all still very stubborn and disobedient.

Originally, Blair was supposed to train them, but now that Blair was in a coma, I needed to step in for him.

"How many left? Did I tell you to stop counting?" I shouted coldly.

"F... four hundred... fifty... No, thirty left..."

a soldier answered breathlessly, his face red from the effort. I had punished him by making him do push-ups.

The rest of them didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of being implicated.

My cold gaze swept across them and I warned, "This is what happens when you're lazy. If any of you dare to slack off again, don't bother to come back."

A short soldier raised a hand falteringly. "Sir," he squeaked nervously, "could you please let us rest for a second? Captain Blair didn't train us as hard as this..."

"And that's why you all are so damn lazy." I glanced at him indifferently, my voice as cold as ice. "You haven't learned anything other than to slack off."

The soldier's mouth immediately snapped shut, his little body shaking like a leaf.

"I don't care how Blair trained you before. That's all in the past now." I looked at them expressionlessly. "While he's still on leave, I'm going to be the one training you. Got it?"

None of the soldiers before me dared to so much as nod. The only sound that could be heard was from the panting from soldier behind me who was still counting push-ups.

"F... four hundred... sixty-seven..."

"Alright. You're done here," I said to him flatly.

The punished soldier nearly cried out in relief. Without so much as wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead, he immediately got to his feet and rushed back to his teammates, as though he was scared I would change my mind.

"Your team is going to carry out a mission at the border soon, so you can't slack off—not even for a minute. I'll train you doubly as hard today."
