Chapter 292: 292

292 Working Solo

A fight broke out as soon as the competition was over. But before that, there had been a disagreement between the recruits as they argued about who won the race.

Josie fell at the finish line, before Elijah snatched the flag from him and crossed the line.

But then, the other side argued that Josie had not stepped on the line hence his claim of the win was invalid.

However, the argument had to be halted because Elijah tossed the flag aside after he won and speared Josie who barely got up to his feet back down to the ground.

Then he straddled him and began to land punches directly on his face. Since he and his friend damaged his face, he would do the same.

“Aziz!” Two of his colleagues tried to pull him away but they couldn’t. Elijah was really strong coupled with the anger fueling him.

Three more went after him but Elijah fought them off and continued hitting Josie whose face was now swollen. He was too weak to defend himself.

This time around it took all seven remaining rescuits to pull Elijah off Josie. Three grabbed his left arm and three others on his right while the remaining one pulled at his waist.

Josie was finally able to breathe after Elijah got off him but he was trembling in both pain and fear. Elijah struggled with his fellow recruits but together, they were stronger and overpowered him. But Elijah didn’t put up a fight for long because he felt dizzy from the whole stress and blacked out.

.....

When Elijah woke up, he found himself on a bed and a room that smelled of antiseptic. His brows furrowed, where was he?

He tried to rise only for his movements to get restrained and he looked down to discover that his hand was cuffed to the side of the bed.

What the....?

He began to think, have they discovered that he was Elijah? He truly went over the top with that fight. He needed information as to what was going on.

“Don’t bother, they won’t come off,” Adele said, walking into the room. She stood in front of him with her arms crossed over her chest and assessed his face.

“What is the meaning of this?” Elijah asked, pulling at the cuff to make his point.

“I have no use for a wild dog in a pack of wolves,” She didn’t approve of his behavior earlier.

“You said it’s no holds barred,” Elijah exploited a loophole, however, Adele was determined not to let him have his way.

“That was until the competition ended.”

“The hour was not up,”

“The competition ended the moment you stepped on that line with the last flag!” Adele said firmly, having the last word.

“The rules of my family condone brutal fights between members. You could have duels but what you did out there wasn’t a duel at all. You are quite lucky that this is a camp boot and you got off with Isolation – a little time away from the others for you to think over your actions and turn a better leaf, hopefully.”

Elijah smirked, “Look at my face.”

She did.

He went on to say, “I’m sure Josie’s face doesn’t look far better either. So you can think of it as a tie. He should pray that I recover.”

Adele couldn’t believe her ears, was he serious right now? She was talking about repenting from his offenses and he’s more concerned over his face? Why does he kind of remind her of Marcel? Her cousin was the only one obsessed with his appearance. Ugh, what’s with these good-looking men?

“I’m sorry, Aziz, but no matter how talented and valuable you are, I would have no choice but to lay you off if you can’t get along with the others. This organization was not built by one man alone but from the sweat, blood, and death of several others. So – ”

“Aziz!”

Both Adele and Elijah turned in the direction of that voice only to see Cindy running into the room. At that moment, Adele turned and sent a questioning look towards Elijah who only shrugged.

How was he to know that the girl would follow him here? More ever, he had been in the woods hence she couldn’t accuse him of contacting the girl in secret.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

“Aziz!” Cindy already had tears in her eyes as she rushed to his side and threw herself on him.

Every part of Elijah’s body hurt so when he winced, Cindy instantly looked up and checked his face with horror, “God, who did this to you?!” She hollered.

Apart from a few scratches and bruises, his nose was the only thing swollen and he possessed fewer injuries than Josie. But Cindy didn’t care and made a huge deal out of it, her eyes further widening when she saw the handcuff,

“You!”

She pointed her finger at her sister Adele who had a nonchalant look, “I should have known you’re up to no good when you had him removed from my security details! I would not let you off for this!”

But even amid the warning, Adele said to him cooly, “Although you won the competition, the victory was granted to Josie on counts of your assault -”

“Assault?” Cindy looked at him confused. What was her sister talking about?

“In one word, you’re still stuck in boot camp. Have all the rest you can get this night because training continues tomorrow and you’re working solo,” Adele isolated him from the others as punishment.

Done speaking, Adele turned to leave when Cindy commanded her, “Take the cuffs off him!”

But Adele simply rolled her eyes and was close to grabbing the doorknob when the persistent Cindy shouted, “Don’t take it off and I’ll tell him your most embarrassing secret.”

At once, Adele stiffened and Elijah knew at that moment that the secret Cindy was holding against her was really strong.

Not long after, Adele walked back to him and took the handcuffs off him but the murderous look in her eyes told Elijah he was going to suffer for this in his training tomorrow.
