Chapter 346
Jillian’s cheeks turned a soft pink as she recalled Connor’s gentle demeanor back in the infirmary.
Jason, Colton, and the others quickly stepped aside, clearing a path as Connor approached.
“What happened?” Connor’s voice was hoarse, and his eyes were tinged with red, hinting at a sleepless night. His gaze swept around and settled on Flora, who looked slightly cold with furrowed brows.
Who dared to upset my girl?
“Head Coach, it’s like this…” Jillian stepped forward, looking troubled. “Flora got into a fight with two female students, causing quite a scene. According to school rules, she should be disciplined.”
“Fighting?” Connor’s eyes flicked back to Flora.
The little firecracker got into a fight? Must’ve been really provoked.
“Yes, Head Coach! Right in broad daylight, Flora attacked us, totally disregarding school rules and your authority! If she isn’t punished, where’s the respect?” The two girls looked at Connor as if he were their savior, urgently pleading their case.
“No one lashes out for no reason. What did you do?” Connor’s dark eyes swept over the girls, cold despite their redness.
The girls felt a chill, a bad feeling creeping in.
Was it their imagination? It almost seemed like the Head Coach was siding with Flora.
But that couldn’t be; the Head Coach favored Jillian!
They stammered, “We were just chatting, and somehow she got upset…”
“Oh,” Connor’s dark eyes narrowed. “So, you were gossiping.”
The girls felt a lump in their throats. “We were only talking! Regardless, Flora’s actions are inexcusable! She’s aggressive and resorted to violence. Who knows if she’ll escalate to using a knife next? How can someone like that continue to train with us? According to the rules, she must be disciplined!”
One of the girls had lost a tooth to Flora’s punch, causing her speech to whistle slightly. Blood foamed at her mouth, sometimes spraying as she spoke, and her face twisted in anger, looking rather grotesque.
“Head Coach, this incident has blown up, affecting both the University of Maple Grove and the base. If no action is taken, it’ll be hard to maintain discipline…” Jillian spoke softly, her expression one of concerned difficulty.

It was as if she was reluctantly stepping forward to ask for Flora’s reprimand for the greater good.
Connor looked at her deeply, then slowly said, “Indeed, without discipline, it’s hard to
maintain order.”
The two girls were thrilled, and Jillian couldn’t believe her simple words had swayed Connor.
“Looks like the Head Coach really likes you!” The girls teased Jillian, who couldn’t help but blush, feeling both proud and smug.
“Colton, call the University of Maple Grove’s administration office. These two students, despite being part of the University of Maple Grove, have insulted and dishonored another, behavior not tolerated by the Empire Base. They are to be sent back immediately, and their military training credits nullified.”
“Yes,” Cotton replied emotionlessly, unsurprised by Connor’s decision.
Jason, Lance, and the rest of the base members couldn’t help but laugh.
They really overestimated themselves. To bully the boss’s fiancée and expect the boss to take their side. They should consider themselves lucky that the base is only responsible for training this once; otherwise, they’d never get through military training in their lifetime. The two girls were dumbfounded.
