"Desmond Blu!"
Haniya wanted to kill him right now.
Then, Desmond replied calmly, "Hurry up and train them."
"You're their captain, so you should be the one training them."
"Nah, it's inappropriate for a man to train women."
Desmond left after finishing his sentence while leaving Haniya confused.
What did he mean by that it was inappropriate?
Wasn't asking her to wash his underwear even more inappropriate?
Haniya had the urge to pull him back, but everyone was staring at her, so she could only suppress her anger.
Meanwhile, the other female students could tell there was something between them from the way how Desmond and Haniya interacted. Meanwhile, Brenda was fired because she didn't respect Haniya. It wasn't easy for them to get into Dark Night Empire, so they couldn't afford to let jealousy ruin their futures.
"Miss Bell, please train us. Could you teach us the move you did earlier? It seems to be a difficult move."
After one of the female students spoke up, the others naturally followed suit.
Haniya had no choice but to train them because she had been surrounded by them.
After that, Desmond grinned from afar while watching Haniya train the female students.
When Ned came in, he saw Desmond grinning. Therefore, he followed Desmond's gaze and was surprised to see that the latter was looking at Haniya.
"What is Miss Bell doing here?"
"I recruited her. What's wrong?"
Desmond replied casually but Ned sensed a trace of hostility.
Hmm? He didn't think that he said anything wrong.
"Oh, Madam asked me to show Miss Bell the photo of her blind date tomorrow. If she agrees, Madam will arrange for the date."
Ned said without thinking much.
Desmond's expression darkened when he thought about this.
A blind date?
Was Haniya really going on a blind date?
"Give it to me. She's training the female students now."
Desmond held out his hand towards Ned as he said this.
Ned was slightly stunned when he heard this.
"When did both of you become so close? Why did you come here to train the female students? Is this your task?"
"Urgh! You talk so much nonsense."
After that, Desmond grabbed the photo from Ned's hand and glanced at it.
The person in the photo looked like a gentleman, and he was wearing a pair of golden- framed glasses.
"What does he do?"
"He is a manager with a stable income and has no scandals. He is twenty this year, but he has never had a girlfriend."
Ned shared the information he received from Mango immediately.
Desmond replied, "He is already 28 years old but have never dated? There must be something wrong with him!"
"Well, he had been busy with his work. After graduating from college, he focused on building his career. Now that he has made great
achievements, he wants a life partner. Thus, he sounded like a good man."
"Who knows? Maybe he's gay."
Ned almost choked after hearing what Desmond said.
"Goodness! Do you know this guy? Did he offend you? When did you become so vicious ? You're assuming he's gay because he never had a girlfriend at 28? Give me the photo. I'll personally pass it to Haniya."
As Ned was about to grab the photo, Desmond tucked it into his pocket and said, "I'll pass it to her later. You should leave now because outsiders are not allowed in the Dark Night Empire's training base."
"Huh? An outsider? Isn't Haniya an outsider too? Why can she come in but not me?"
"She can give birth to children too. Can't you do that? You can stay if you're able to."
Desmond's reply left Ned speechless.
Well, indeed, he could not give birth to children.
After sending Ned away, Desmond took the photo and looked at it again. He looked like a perfectly good man, but he had to go on a blind date to find a partner. What a coward!
Suddenly, he felt agitated at that thought.
"Everyone, give me 3 miles run with weights. You're not allowed to eat until you've finished the run!"
As soon as he gave the order, the male students immediately whined.
Haniya and the female students also heard the order, but they didn't think it involved them. So Haniya continued explaining to the female students when Desmond shouted, "Haniya, you and your students are included!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, and the female students' face turned pale.
Haniya felt that he was treating her unjustly.
She had just returned from the special training on the island. Before she could even rest, she was dragged here by Desmond to train the students. Why did she have to run 3 miles with weights now?
"I'm not part of Dark Night Empire."
"Well, you lost the challenge earlier, so you will run 6 miles instead of 3!"
Desmond was so certain with his orders that Haniya felt enraged.
What? 6 miles with weights?
Did he want to see her collapse to the ground?
Haniya finally understood what Desmond meant by "If you lose, you can forget about going to bed tonight".
After running 6 miles with weights, she definitely wouldn't be able to get on the bed!
Hah! So he had been waiting for this moment.
"Nah, I won't run! I'm not your soldier."
