Chapter 744: Chapter 744: Like a Boss
On the other side, at the Keaton Group’s Vanguard Corps Headquarters—
Today is finally the gathering day for the International Vanguard Competitions. Bianca White and Patrick Sullivan, who are participating in this all-around competition, were on the playground early in the morning, waiting for the special plane to take them to Aethelgard for the competition.
"Could it be that the newcomer isn’t coming today either?"
Until today, Patrick Sullivan still hadn’t seen the new member July Quinn who was supposed to compete with them.
The unfair decision of the organization made him increasingly indignant.
"Who knows."
Compared to before, when Bianca White couldn’t wait to compete against July Quinn, now that they had already competed once at Stillwater Villa, she more or less knew July had some strength.
Although she always insisted that July Quinn won against her by luck, deep down, she was still afraid of being overshadowed by July Quinn in the all-around competition.
Therefore, more than anyone, she hoped that July Quinn wouldn’t show up.
But as fate would have it, the more you wish for someone not to show up, the more likely they are to appear right in front of you.
Sure enough, when Bianca White least wanted July Quinn to appear, July showed up with her hair flowing and her dress swaying.
"Oh my god, who is that? So beautiful!"
Wearing five-centimeter low-heeled shoes, a dark green dress paired with a short plaid vest, and her long hair casually draped over her shoulders, July Quinn appeared, leaving Patrick Sullivan exclaiming in awe as if he’d seen the woman of his dreams.
Bianca White immediately rolled her eyes, "Who else could it be? July Quinn!"
Realizing this beautiful woman was the new member who had been absent from training, Patrick Sullivan’s initially strong sense of responsibility led to an immediate drop in his impression of her.
"So it’s her." Patrick Sullivan immediately frowned.
Seeing this, Bianca White promptly dissed July Quinn a few more times: "Gathering here is for the competition, not a beauty pageant. Dressing up so flamboyantly, who is she trying to seduce? Does she think the judges on the field will be as captivated by her as some people?"
"Indeed, this woman has a lot on her mind."
Having never interacted with July Quinn, Patrick Sullivan took Bianca White’s words at face value and assumed July was the type to use her looks to gain resources.
Even as Patrick Sullivan felt disgusted with July Quinn from the bottom of his heart, he couldn’t help but cast a glance at the man behind her.
Because this person wasn’t wearing their Vanguard War General uniform either.
The key point was that this person had an exotic-looking face.
"Right, who is the person beside her? Why does he look a bit like the leader of the Alpha Mercenary Corps?"
Patrick Sullivan was also an outstanding prospect among this batch of Vanguard War Generals, so the organization specifically had him memorize the appearances of some dangerous individuals to prevent being compromised by them.
And Susan Carter was among those dangerous individuals, so Patrick Sullivan had indeed seen related materials and photos of him, which is why Susan Carter looked familiar to him at this moment.
"Impossible. Do you think the leader of the Alpha Mercenary Corps would follow around July Quinn? Just because she’s pretty or because she’s charming?"
No matter what Patrick Sullivan thought, Bianca White couldn’t accept the presence of a dangerous follower like Susan Carter by July Quinn’s side.
"True, someone who can become the leader of the mercenary corps wouldn’t willingly do things for a woman. Even if she’s extraordinarily pretty, that wouldn’t make a grown man bend over backwards to such an extent."
Patrick Sullivan also accepted Bianca White’s opinion, so he stopped focusing on Susan Carter.
However, they didn’t know that Susan Carter, being the head of a mercenary corps, had keen insight and soon noticed their strange gaze.
"Dad, do they have a grudge against you?"
