Jack chuckled knowingly and said, "Colonel Lineker, you'd better reconsider. Pick someone else."

"Why's that?" Bill asked, clearly puzzled. +8 Pearls

"Well..." Jack frowned, carefully choosing his words. "General Whalen might not seem intimidating at first glance, but back in the day, he was the toughest fighter among the 12 of us. When he fought, he was unstoppable.

"Let me tell you something. About 23 years ago, during the battle at the southeastern border, General Whalen held off over a hundred enemies by himself, armed only with a combat knife. By the end, they were begging for mercy. "Want to know how it ended?"

Bill raised an eyebrow, curious. "Did he spare them?"

Jack's smirk was cold as he responded, "He killed every single one of them.

"The men he took on were some of the best, and he wiped them all out single-handedly."

Bill laughed dismissively. To him, it sounded like a far-fetched story, a tale meant to impress but lacking real weight.

"I've been dreaming of competing in the international military competition, and this is my shot. I'm not letting it slip away."

Jack sighed and shook his head, grinning. "Alright, have it your way. Just don't come crying to us old guys when you regret this later."

Bill stood firm, unwavering. "I won't regret it!"

Flint laughed, clapping Bill on the back. "That's the spirit, kid!

"Colonel Lineker, I'm rooting for you!
