Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2294

Kyrie's eyes narrowed as he grinned. "Fine then, I'll be happy to spar with you. Let's see what the Polar Tigers are really made of."

Just then, Luna arrived in a hurry. "General Harding, you don't need to handle this anymore! I'll take responsibility for Mr. Beckett's situation."

Kyrie frowned in confusion. "Luna, what are you doing?"

Luna replied coldly, "What am I doing? Who told you to pick a fight with our guest and threaten him with violence? General Turman is on his way here right now, so if you don't want to get chewed out, you'd better leave."

Kyrie's eye twitched as he walked out with a dark expression, but not before saying to Ezekiel, "We'll have plenty of opportunities to test each other. If I'm afraid of you, then I'm not a real man."

When Ezekiel faced Luna, his demeanor improved considerably. However, he still spoke with righteous indignation. "General Phelan, my safe was stolen. Shouldn't the military give me some kind of explanation?"

Luna nodded professionally. "Don't worry, Mr. Beckett. If something was stolen on our turf, we'll definitely give you an answer."

Ezekiel was surprised by how reasonable Luna seemed to be.

Then, Luna spoke with pride and authority. "Mr. Beckett, you can look down on anyone you want, but you absolutely cannot look down on the Holtrien military. Our ancestors once fought in your country too, so you should know exactly what that was like."

Ezekiel's face darkened immediately. "General Phelan, what do you mean by bringing up old history? Are you trying to provoke tensions between our two nations?"

Luna snorted coldly. "It's not a provocation. It's just a warning. Holtrien will compensate you for what was lost, but if you dare to underestimate our military with your arrogant words, then I'll be the first to step up and teach you a lesson you won't forget."

Ezekiel's expression became extremely ugly, but he held his tongue and said nothing. That idiot Kyrie had been easy to provoke with just a few words, and he was not worth worrying about.

"Find this woman in the red dress… She should be our culprit," Luna declared with finality.

Her subordinate looked puzzled and asked, "General, how can you be so certain it's her?"

Luna replied calmly, "Her name is Aspen Stevens, and she's someone I know well. Even though the fifth-floor surveillance was destroyed, her presence means that person was here too.

"That person never leaves traces when he works, but he's also the only one capable of pulling this off. So we don't need to waste effort looking elsewhere. I'm 100% certain the culprits were Aspen and her man."

When Luna said the words "her man", she spoke through gritted teeth with obvious irritation and frustration.
