Chapter 211

"Are you really going to kill someone in front of the entire military camp?" Chloe was a bit worried.

From what she understood, this General had been serving in this camp for a long time, and most of the soldiers under him were very obedient to his discipline. If they were to eliminate the General based on such an unclear reason, it might be difficult to convince everyone.

Xavier spoke in a calm tone: "What I do and who I kill has never been something others can comment on."

"If anyone is dissatisfied with my actions and criticizes me, I will execute them as well."

Saying this, Xavier slightly lowered his gaze to look at Chloe, extending two fingers to poke her cheek:

"Understand?"

Chloe's face hurt a bit from his pinch: "I got it... Let go, let go!"

After successfully swatting Xavier's hand away, she yawned and said:

"I chatted with Aaron, and he told me that the reason he was targeted and bullied was because the General in this camp has a strange habit."

Xavier: "What strange habit?"

An indescribable expression appeared on Chloe's face, as if she had eaten a ton of flies and felt sick.

She replied listlessly: "This General likes to make newly enlisted soldiers wash his feet and lick his shoes. Almost every new recruit has been forced to do this when they first enter the camp."

Xavier: "..."

A moment of wavering appeared in his eyes.

Wash what, lick what?

Chloe frowned: "When Aaron first enlisted, he was very stubborn. He felt that this activity wasn't part of the new recruit initiation ceremony, and he found the General's behavior extremely disgusting, so he firmly refused."

"This is also the reason why Aaron was targeted for bullying."

At this point, Xavier had fallen into a long silence.

He wordlessly put Chloe down on the ground, then raised his hand.

Immediately, a dark shadow flew over from not far away, handing a damp handkerchief to Xavier.

It was Kewen.

Chloe exclaimed in surprise: "Where did you pop out from?"

Kewen spread his hands: "I am a qualified Death Warrior. Wherever the Ancestor Lord is, I am there. Don't be too surprised, my dear young miss." Hearing this, Chloe still found it hard to believe.

She looked around. The border military camp had a harsh environment, without even a slightly lush tree. Even the camp tents, except for the one where the General was, were all small tents that couldn't hide a person.

So where exactly was Kewen hiding?

Chloe tried to get Kewen to tell her, but Kewen obviously didn't want to say.

He shook his head: "Sorry, young miss, this involves special training for Death Warriors, so I probably can't tell you."

Special training for Death Warriors?

Hearing this term, Chloe made up her mind.

If Kewen wouldn't tell her, she'd go back and ask Anderson.

Kewen's mouth might be hard to pry open, but prying open Anderson's mouth would be much easier.

Just as she was thinking this, Chloe felt something cool on her face.

Then her face was covered with a handkerchief.

Xavier wiped forcefully, as if he wanted to wipe off Chloe's skin.

Chloe hissed in pain, and it was a while before she was released.

By this time, her face had been wiped red all over, like a monkey's bottom.

Chloe complained: "What's wrong with you now?"

Xavier didn't speak, his face tense as he used another damp handkerchief to wipe Chloe's hands, equally forcefully.

It hurt terribly, and Chloe opened her mouth to bite him.

Kewen beside them was quick, immediately stuffing a soft metal toy into Chloe's mouth, successfully protecting his master's body.

Chloe bit down on the soft metal, then glared fiercely at Kewen.

Kewen looked away, pretending he hadn't seen anything.

Finally finished wiping her hands, Xavier straightened up, his voice cold, but if one listened carefully, one could sense a hint of tension:

"That person is dirty."

"Everything in his tent is dirty."

Hearing this, Chloe immediately understood.

So after hearing her description, Xavier's severe obsessive-compulsive cleanliness had been triggered.

But it was understandable. After all, Chloe's obsession with cleanliness was inherited from Xavier. Usually, to accommodate her cleanliness obsession, Anderson often had to be very considerate, always keeping cleaning supplies in his pocket, just in case Chloe's obsession acted up and she threw a tantrum.

But now it seemed that Xavier's cleanliness obsession was even more severe.

Had it reached the point where just hearing about it made him uncomfortable all over?

How pitiful.

Chloe prided herself on being a filial daughter, and to comfort her daddy, she wisely chose to change the subject:

"What if after three days, the General gives a reasonable explanation?"

"He won't," Xavier said in a low voice, "This matter can't be overlooked. He won't be able to give a good explanation."

Chloe took a few steps forward: "Then... will you really kill him when the time comes?"

"...Not necessarily," Xavier said softly, "No matter what, we still need to give a reason."

"The three days, rather than giving him time to provide a reason, are more about using these three days to break down his psychological defenses."

"As long as he can't resist and makes a move against me, I'll have a reason to deal with him in front of the entire camp."

Saying this, Xavier paused: "As for these other soldiers."

Just thinking about them washing the General's feet and licking his shoes made Xavier feel nauseated. He said coldly:

"Enough talk. I might stay in the camp these days. Chloe, you go back first."

Chloe didn't really want to go back; she wanted to stay and watch the show.

Xavier didn't force her.

Killing was as easy as nodding one's head; his daughter wasn't so fragile that she couldn't handle such a bloody scene.

However, if Chloe didn't go back, there were others who would come to fetch her.

That evening, the camp received a few small visitors.

After Chloe was called over by a soldier, she saw Daniel, covered in dust, outside the camp.

Seeing this, she was a bit surprised: "Why are you here?"

Hearing her voice, Daniel immediately got up from the ground:

"So you really are here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he continued angrily:

"How could you do this! We've been waiting outside for several hours, a whole day! You didn't even come back to check once!"

Chloe: "..."

She truly hadn't expected things to develop this way.

Chloe's gaze turned to Katherine and Qin Huaibei on the other side. She scratched her head and hesitantly asked:

"You guys haven't been waiting for me at the lord's mansion all this time, have you?"

Qin Huaibei nodded reluctantly.

Daniel: "No, we went to various places to have fun. We only came here to find you because we really couldn't wait any longer."

Qin Huaibei: "..."

"Can't you say a bit less?"

Daniel rolled his eyes: "How could I be the same as a hypocrite like you?"

Seeing that the two of them were about to start arguing again, Chloe quickly led them into the military camp one by one:

"Alright, stop arguing. Stay in the camp for a few days, I'll take you to see a show."

Katherine looked up: "What kind of show?"

Chloe smiled:

"A grand finale where heads will roll."
