Megan and Zachary laughed when they heard this, and even Michael couldn’t help sneering.

“You don’t believe me?” Kingsley crossed his legs and drawled casually, “One phone call is all it takes for me to have you expelled from the military.”

“Is that so?” Asher was laughing so hard that he was tearing up, and he mocked, “Aren’t you a big talker? I would have fallen for it if I hadn’t known you were unemployed!”

“Challenging me, I see.” Kingsley sounded indifferent as he said, “You’ll be dealt with accordingly minutes after I make that call.”

Asher was just about to retort when Zachary decided to add fuel to fire. “Asher, have the punk make that call! Let’s just see if he’s all talk!” Then, he glanced over at Cecilia and mused, “See for yourself what a loser he is!
