CHAPTER 622: CHAPTER 622: JEALOUS OF HER?

Unexpectedly, Thomas Grant straight-up said, "Miss Quinn excels at shooting, so I recommended her to participate in the International Vanguard General Competition with you and Patrick Sullivan."

Although, before Thomas Grant announced July Quinn’s participation in the International Vanguard General Competition, Bianca White had already vaguely heard about it from other members.

But nothing hit Bianca as hard as Thomas Grant admitting it himself.

Recommending Bianca to compete and then getting July Quinn to join the competition as well!

Who exactly is being underestimated here?

Is Bianca’s outstanding performance in this Vanguard Corps not as good as an ordinary person who hasn’t even gone through any training?

Yet, Thomas Grant didn’t even leave her the chance to protest, as he directly continued.

"As for the showcase you requested..." Thomas Grant glanced at July Quinn before his eyes fell again on Lord Keaton.

Seeing Lord Keaton’s expression darken, as if about to transform into a forty-meter-long blade ready to cut him down, Thomas Grant hastily changed his words:

"Miss Quinn will also join you and Patrick Sullivan in the shooting training for the next few days, so you’ll see then."

Thomas Grant was confident that when Bianca and the others saw July Quinn’s phenomenal shooting skills, they wouldn’t dare babble anymore.

But in Bianca’s eyes, what Thomas Grant said was just excusing July Quinn, preventing her from embarrassing herself in front of everyone, preserving her dignity.

Bianca had even wanted to provoke Thomas Grant, setting a trap for July Quinn, forcing her to reveal her "skills" in front of everyone!

At this moment, Lord Keaton’s cold and stern voice came through.

"If you have so much to discuss with Helmsman Grant, would you care to join in some burdened running, chatting while running?"

Bianca froze.

"No need, no need. Lord Keaton, I’ll dissolve the group immediately and let them proceed individually." Thomas Grant forced a smile.

He had long noticed that Lord Keaton had a lot to inquire from July Quinn, and thus wanted to quickly wrap up the welcome ceremony to give these two more time to talk.

Yet Bianca, unaware of the situation, kept going on and on, as if she wouldn’t feel comfortable unless Lord Keaton reprimanded her.

Thomas Grant absolutely didn’t want to get punished foolishly like that group doing the weighted sprints on the playground.

So he quickly announced, "Alright, you’ve met the new member; the rest, you’ll get to know gradually. The welcome ceremony ends here. July Quinn, come to the office with me later; I’ll brief you on the upcoming training tasks. Everyone else, dismissed."

As soon as Thomas Grant finished announcing, July Quinn followed him out, with Kyle Keaton following shortly after.

The others watched their retreating figures, huddling together, discussing.

"Gorgeous! More beautiful than any woman I’ve ever seen. From today, I’m going to groom myself well, hoping to find a girlfriend this year."

"With our kind of life, do you think someone as incredible as July Quinn would even notice us?"

"Even if she doesn’t notice, standing next to someone that beautiful feels like the entire playground air is sweet..."

In general, almost all the Vanguard Corps members were defenseless against July Quinn’s beauty.

Only Bianca remained stunned in place.

This was the first time Lord Keaton had sternly reprimanded her in front of so many people. Initially, Bianca felt quite embarrassed and upset.

But later, when she thought about why Lord Keaton did that, she suddenly realized, could it be that... he was jealous?
