Chapter 159
Looking at Marina who had been silent this whole time, Matthew shole a glance at her.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally decided to add fuel to the fire.
“Um… I understand your feelings and concerns. And I won’t blame you if you’re unwilling to do that. After all, you saved my life this time and I’m still very grateful for it.
“If you want to leave, I’ll get Brendon to send you back immediately.”
“Is that so? Then I’ll go home first. Have a good rest.” Marina looked up at Matthew and turned to leave.
When Matthew saw her like this, he immediately became a little anxious and he even sat up straight a little.
“Matthew, get some rest. I promise that I will send Marina home safely!” Brendon did not understand how Matthew really felt at this moment at all. Instead, he bowed to him and planned to really send Marina away.
Matthew’s wound had just been stitched up and he was so pissed at Brendon that it almost split open.
Who the fuck asked him to really send her back?
How could Brendon not see that he was strategizing right now?
However, Brendon did not understand Matthew’s intentions and he had already followed Marina to the door.
“Wait!” Matthew finally couldn’t take it anymore and called out to Marina.
Marina slowly stood still and turned around.
“Well… Actually, you don’t have to be a soldier. As long as I write you a guarantee and tell the higher–ups your identity, it’ll work.”
Matthew’s tone was a little unsure.
“There’s no need to write a guarantee. Marina’s file should still be in the army headquarters. We’ll know that for sure after a little investigation,” Brendon
said.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he got a cold glare from Matthew.
Brendon instantly didn’t dare to speak anymore.
“You’re already so old now. Why are you still so scheming? It’s fine if you use others, but now, you’re even using yourself.” Marina said angrily.
“Can’t you just let me save my face? If you’ve seen through my scheme, don’t just say it like that. I’ve given you a way out but why can’t you just take it?” Matthew deliberately pulled a long face.
“You’re playing tricks on me. If I agree right away, wouldn’t it make me look easy to manipulate? Don’t you know that I’m the most difficult to discipline in Team 793?” Marina snorted faintly.
“So what if I’m scheming? I still can’t get you back.” Matthew looked displeased when he said that.
He was her mentor and he taught her everything he got.
Back then, he should not have done his best to teach this little brat.
At this point, he could no longer win against her.
Marina stood at the door and took a deep look at Matthew, who was sitting at the head of the bed.
Matthew had never said anything about him being injured.
However, Marina knew that whoever was able to injure him so badly under so many protections in Janeborough could not be underestimated.
This old man must have encountered something very troublesome.
Otherwise, he would not have played such a childish trick to trick her back.
He had been really good to her in the past.
But when she left back then, she didn’t even say goodbye to him in person.
This time, it could be considered as repaying his kindness in the past.
After Marina made up her mind, she immediately straightened her back and saluted.
She shouted even more forcefully at Matthew.
“Captain of Team 793, codename Hawk, requesting to return to the team!”
When Matthew heard this, his eyes immediately turned red.
This girl was really unbearable.
“Teammate of Team 793, codenamed Killer Whale, requesting to return to the team!” Brendon, who was standing at the side, hurriedly said when he
heard Marina’s words.
“What are you doing here?” Matthew immediately gave Brendon a disdainful look.
“I’m not just here to join in the fun. Our Captain Marina has returned. Of course, I have to return too!” Brendon said seriously.
“Then who do you plan to give your current position to?” Matthew asked.
“You can pick anyone else. Anyway, anyone can do this job. There are always endless meetings every day. You can pick anyone from Team 793 to do my job.”
Brendon sounded a little anxious.
He was afraid that Matthew would turn him down.
“You make it sound as easy as breathing. Do you know how important your position is? Just stay here.” Matthew snorted.
“Matthew, just let me return. Otherwise, you can let me return to the team temporarily. After I complete this mission with Captain, I’ll come back to be this mayor.” Not only did Brendon change the way he addressed Marina, he even started to act cute.
However, he was 1.8 meters tall and had muscles all over his body.
It was hard to watch when he acted cute like this.
Marina couldn’t even bear to look at him.
“Matthew,” Brendon said in a sweet voice.
Marina got goosebumps on her arms.
She immediately gritted her teeth and glared at him. “Speak normally!”
“Yes, Captain!” Brendon immediately stopped acting so weird.
After all, he had known his captain too well. Her words already indicated that she had agreed to let him return to the team.
As expected, the next moment, Marina’s gaze landed on Matthew who was lying on the bed.
“This mission must be quite difficult. I also need some acquaintances by my side. It’s easier to cooperate this way. Why don’t you let him return to the team for the time being? After this matter is over, I’ll let him come back immediately.”
“Since you’ve said so, I’ll just let him return to the team for now.” Matthew nodded without another word.
Brendon was a little uneasy now. “Matthew, I’ve been begging you for a long time, but you just won’t give in. Now that the captain has spoken, you’ve suddenly agreed. That really embarrassed me a lot.”
“So what if I embarrassed you? Listen to Marina’s arrangements. Otherwise, I’ll let you stay in your current position until you retire!” Matthew
threatened.
“Matthew, don’t worry. I will definitely complete the mission!” When Brendon heard this, he immediately became serious.
“Matthew, who did you say you wanted me to pick up for you?” After chatting, Marina went straight to the point.
“He’s a patriotic scientist. He’s in Meridonia now, but Meridonia has been spying on him. He can’t come back through normal ways now, so we have to send a team to get him back.”
Speaking of business, Matthew’s expression became serious.
“I understand. Send me his information. I’ll work on it immediately,” Marina replied.
“Marina, this patriot has the most advanced technology in his hands. It has a huge impact on our country’s development. You must bring him back safely.
“Can you do it?” Matthew asked seriously.
