Chapter 228 A Month's Worth Of Hard Training

If Carla decided to go there directly, it was clear that she would head to her doom. She was not that stupid so she decided not to go to the airport.

Instead, she paid a visit to Nicholas.

The moment that she stepped into the door, she knelt down.

"Carla? What are you doing?" Nicholas was quite taken aback by her behavior.

Race took her arm and tried to help her up but she just ignored him.

"Grandpa, I have one request. If you don't give me your consent, I'll just keep kneeling here." She bowed her head after her declaration.

"Come on. Don't be like this. I will help you to the best of my ability. Come. Let's sit down and talk about it." Nicholas gestured for her to stand up and sit beside him.

Carla raised her head slowly and looked at him with determination. She took a deep breath and said, "Grandpa, please. Train me.

I don't want to do this just to show off or to lose some weight. I want to be trained so that I could protect myself in the future. I want to be strong enough to defend myself against the enemies. I was kidnapped for two times. I was thinking... If I know some self-defense skills, I won't have to wait for other people to come to my rescue.

Grandpa, I don't mind working hard. I wish you could give me some lessons as soon as possible. I want to be stronger."

Carla knew that he could help her. As a veteran, Nicholas had trained countless of soldiers before. She just wanted to learn some self-defense skills.

She was willing to overcome any weakness, despair, and fear.

She didn't want to be protected. She didn't want to be the one to drag the group down whenever they face emergencies.

"Carla, tell me. Why do you want to learn? Are you planning on finding Terence by yourself?" asked Nicholas.

He was experienced and had the ability to understand the motives of other people. He could read her mind.

Carla had no intention of disguising her plan. She nodded immediately.

"Grandpa, I've made up my mind. I'm willing to do a month's training. Trust me. I can do it. The training could help me rescue Terence. It was possible that he would be returned after a month. But if he wouldn't... I'll go to NF and find him myself!"

The usually innocent and mild-mannered girl glared firmly into his eyes. "I will find him and rescue him. I will spare nothing, even my own life!" swore Carla in a low but determined voice.

At least, she wanted to try her best.

"Good girl," murmured Nicholas. He was moved by her devotion. "I'll help you," Nicholas promised her.

'How blessed you are, Terry, to be loved by a girl like this!' thought Nicholas.

Carla could

me. I will find him no matter what you say."

Terence promised that he would be with her forever. He would never go back on his word.

Terence would not lose the game if his opponent was Marcus. Carla was confident that he would succeed.

What she didn't know was that Marcus had hooked up with two other forces because he was determined to end Terence's life.

She also didn't know that Noah was one of them.

"Carla, please. I beg of you. Don't put yourself in danger!" Noah persuaded her earnestly.

"Noah, I told you my plan because I regard you as my friend. You are like an elder brother to me. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have told you my plans." Carla took a deep breath. Her head was erect and her back was straight. She was ready to face the unknown.

"Please don't try to persuade me. I won't change my mind."

Carla hung up the phone decisively.

Noah smashed his phone into pieces in anger.

"What an ignorant stupid girl!" roared Noah. "Terence is dead! Dead as a door nail! Why is she sacrificing herself for him!" He was trembling with fury.

He suddenly noticed that he was starting to care too much for Carla. He genuinely wanted her to be safe. He thought that he was just pretending at first but eventually, his affection for her became much more than what he had expected.

Todd was standing behind Noah. He cleared his throat to announce his presence. "Mr. Noah, I think that this is for the best. She is seeking her own doom. We didn't even need to do anything to her.

If she is killed in NF, you will become the only heir to the family. Isn't that what we want?"

Noah clenched his fist and slammed it down on the table.

He closed his eyes slowly. There was a look of confusion and pain on his face.
