Chapter 1806
Lillian was still reeling from Juan's line.
"Did he mean you or me?" she asked.
"Me, but you're not going anywhere either," Solomon replied.
Lillian's face fell, and he eyed her. "If you're gonna fake it, go all in. Skip class this afternoon."
Lillian nodded. If Juan was teaching, she'd rather hide there playing sick.
By evening, the school's PA blared an alarm. Then the principal's voice boomed. "Attention! Due to an anti-riot drill, leave campus immediately after dismissal."
The students poured out, buzzing.
"A drill out of nowhere? Never had one before."
"Who cares? Early dismissal rocks."
"That new teacher in our class? Total legend."
They gossiped about Juan's past glory days. This update is available on Find1Novel.net
Meanwhile, Juan stood by the school building. His team had swept the campus. Everyone was accounted for.
Ben signaled, and two vans rolled in.
"Holy crap, armored trucks?"
"Is this really a riot drill?"
Security blocked the gate. "Campus is under drill protocol. Clear out to avoid accidents."
The students blinked at the sleek guards wearing sunglasses. They didn't even know their school had such cool security.
While they were gaping, the guards had the place locked down. No one could see what was going on inside. Half an hour later, the campus and a 500-meter radius were ghost towns.
On the field, Solomon stood dead center.
Juan started, "Your test's simple. Break through 50 guys, and I'll trust you can protect Lillian."
"50?" Lillian was stunned. "Godfather, you serious?"
Even their toughest training never threw that much at them. Before she could argue, two vans unloaded a squad of mercenaries in black vests, packing cutting-edge rifles.
Not paintballs and real steel.
Lillian's gut sank. This wasn't a game.
