Chapter 372 You Are Full Of It
Raven fixed her gaze on Lionel and spoke with a calm tone, “Now, let’s talk about you trying to secure a low–ranking position for me.”
The soldiers froze for a moment. Every single one of them turned their eyes toward Lionel.
Confusion was written all over their faces.
They thought, ‘What the hell?
‘Didn’t Lionel just claim that Miles asked him to pull some strings to get Raven a low–ranking position?
‘But Raven is the new General! Why would she need a low–ranking position?‘
Miles also turned to look at Lionel, who had collapsed onto the ground. His shock at discovering Raven’s true identity morphed into a cold and unrelenting fury.
It was Lionel who had originally suggested giving Raven a low–ranking position. But now, they thought Miles begged him for a favor, but Lionel directly refused in the name of principles.
If not for the fact that Raven did not need such a position, Miles and Raven would have left with no place in the military. Lionel could feel others‘ gazes, his body trembling uncontrollably.
‘What had I done? I had actually tried to secure a low–ranking position for the new General in front of Tony!
‘Was there anything more ridiculous in this world? What now?
‘What could I possibly explain now?
‘If I didn’t clear this up today, regaining anyone’s trust in the future would be impossible.
‘The most important thing was that judging from Raven’s attitude, it was obvious that she was not just questioning me about the low–ranking position anymore.
‘The real threat was my military merits problem.
‘If the truth about my military merits problem came to light, it would ruin me completely!‘
Thinking of this, Lionel’s heartbeat raced.
Yet, amidst the suffocating fear, a strange calm began to creep in, sharpening his thoughts.
Suddenly, the memory of his encounter with Miles at the hospital yesterday surfaced in his mind, along with the look on Miles’s face when he learned Raven was the new general.
Slowly, Lionel turned his head, his gaze locked onto Miles.
Lionel looked at Miles’s cold gaze, and his eyes flickered a few times.
Then, he abruptly raised his hand, his face twisting into a mask of rage and desperation as he roared, “Miles, after all these years of good treatment, you dare to hide that Raven is the new general and asked me to bend the rules for her? All to set me up!”
The surrounding soldiers froze, stunned by Lionel’s words.
In the next moment, all eyes turned to Miles.
They thought, ‘If what he said was true, and Lionel really pulled strings out of respect for Miles, the new general would catch Lionel red–handed for abusing his power!
‘Miles is always scheming!
‘If he put this effort into the battlefield, he wouldn’t still be stuck as a low–ranking commander because of his lack of military merits!‘
With that thought, the soldiers‘ gazes toward Miles grew increasingly doubtful.
Suddenly, Miles’s voice filled with rage sounded, “Lionel, that’s bullshit!
“If I’d known Raven was the new general, do you think I’d need to go through all these ridiculous schemes to harm you?”
Lionel, hearing this, suddenly let out a mocking laugh.
He said, “Raven got to her high position at suc “Otherwise, how could you still be stuck as a low
