Chapter 1600
"Exactly, I think you all should just give up and hope to be reborn as a beautiful woman in your next life."
As a few women directed sarcastic and cutting remarks at Mia, a tall, imposing figure suddenly entered the archway, surrounded by a group of bodyguards.
Immediately, everyone fell silent.
The bodyguards brought a chair forward.
Hayes sat down, one leg crossed over the other, casually observing them.His gaze did not specifically rest on anyone.His narrow eyes glanced at the crowd, and a wicked smile played on his lips. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Hayes had been handsome since childhood, and the passage of time only added to his allure.
Although the women in the training camp were afraid of him, they were also infatuated with his looks.
As soon as he arrived, the women could not take their eyes off him.
Hayes lit a cigarette, leaned back in the chair, and took a drag.
With a nonchalant smile, he said, "I need to go to Linsborough for a business negotiation and want to pick two of you to accompany me.Who's interested?"
"I am, I..."
"Me too."
"I'm willing."
Everyone eagerly raised their hands to volunteer, except for Mia and Jensen, who remained silent.
Hayes's gaze briefly passed over the two of them.He flicked the ash off his cigarette and slowly chuckled.
"This journey will be extremely dangerous, and it's very likely some of you won't return."
As he spoke, he looked at the suddenly changing faces of the trainees and casually asked, "Are you still interested?"
They looked at each other, hesitating.
Hayes lowered his eyes and laughed softly.
"Just now, didn't you all want to go? What happened? Are you all afraid of dying now? It's true that the training here is tough, but you have a high chance of surviving.However, accompanying me on this trip is a matter of life and death."
The trainees still remained silent; their heads bowed.
Hayes scoffed, his gaze deliberately falling on Jensen.
He spoke in a low, mysterious tone, "However, they say fortune favors the bold.If you can safely return from this journey with me, you won't have to endure this rigorous training anymore.You can directly join my McCray Corporation and secure a position."
Jensen's hand at his side tightened ever so slightly.
'If I could leave this training camp and join the McCray Corporation to strengthen his abilities, wouldn't I be one step closer to executing my plan for vengeance? This...is indeed an excellent opportunity" he thought to himself.
Not just Jensen, but the others were also tempted, once again volunteering.
Hayes covered his face and laughed.
"How come you all suddenly want to go again? Unfortunately, I only need two people."
He leaned back, gazing at them lightly.
"Here's what we'll do: you'll compete against one another, and the final two victors will accompany me."
And so, the courtyard became lively for a time.
All the trainees divided into groups and began their matches.
Mia did not want any involvement with Hayes, so she initially planned to deliberately lose.
But Jensen and the others had already started their competitions.
Watching him suddenly give it his all, taking down his opponent in just a few moves, she suddenly understood - he wanted to leave this courtyard.
‘It makes sense.He has someone in his heart and a story behind him.He's not destined to languish in this courtyard forever"
Silently, she tightened her hand at her side, determined to give it her all in this competition.
She wanted to leave this courtyard with him.
Although he refused to accept her feelings, she did not want to give up.
Even if it meant just silently following by his side, her heart would be content.
Jensen won several matches in a row and rested on the side.
Hayes squinted at him, a cold smile playing on his lips.
