Chapter 219 Leadership

"You would do no such thing."

As soon as these words sounded, all eyes in the control room turned backward to see Harrison, who stood with unwavering focus, his gaze fixed directly on the screen displaying Atticus.

"D-dad!" Isabella stammered. 'When did he get here!' She thought in shock, surprised that none of them had even known when he entered the control room. n./o(-V)-e-(L((B.-1()n

Upon seeing Harrison, every one of the operators stood up from their seats and immediately bowed their heads, greeting simultaneously, "Vice principal!"

Harrison's stern expression didn't change as he responded to their greetings with a simple nod.

He suddenly turned his gaze toward Isabella, who still hadn't recovered from the shocks she had experienced today.

"Address me by my appropriate title, Isabella," Harrison said sternly to Isabella.

Isabella, not believing what she just heard, shot Harrison a 'really?' look, clearly surprised at what he had just said.

'What were you expecting, Isabella? You grew up with the man,' Isabella thought.

Despite knowing exactly how Harrison behaved, it was still shocking, very shocking that even with all the crazy things going on currently, her father's focus was on correcting the way she had addressed him.

'There's simply no curing his stubbornness,' Isabella thought.

With a small sigh, "I apologize... Vice principal," Isabella greeted.

Many of the operators in the room struggled to stop themselves from laughing at the interaction between father and daughter.

This was the tamed Isabella they all loved seeing!

Seeing Isabella listen and address him by his appropriate title, Harrison nodded, pleased.

Turning his gaze back toward the screen, he continued his earlier words, "No one is allowed to interfere in anything," Harrison commanded.

In a watchtower made of earth, two girls sat on two high chairs overlooking the forest.

The first one with wild, chestnut-colored curls cascading down her shoulders, with freckles all over her cheeks, sighed, "Sigh, another boring day." She said to her colleague, while using both of her hands to rest her chin on.

The second girl possessed a serious look framed by sharp, icy blue eyes. Her sleek, ebony hair is neatly tied back in a practical ponytail with a faint scar on her cheek.

She completely exuded a no-nonsense demeanor. She simply kept facing the forest, keeping an eye out for any signs of trouble that could suddenly appear.

The first girl continued, not minding the lack of response from her colleague, "At this point, I don't even know why we still do this." She said.

Despite the fact that 3 weeks had passed without any sign of the horde of beasts, the students never once let their guards down.

The rangers under Aria's unit were the ones in charge of keeping a lookout, always rotating on a two men/women shift.

"Despite how pointless it all seems, we still have no idea when those beasts would attack us again. It's best to remain cautious, Elara," the second girl, Dina, finally responded but her gaze was still focused on watching the forest.

Elara suddenly rested her back on her seat, dramatically releasing a deep audible sigh, exclaiming, "I'm tireeeeeeee,"

"Quit whining like a little girl. Our shift will soon be over," Dina retorted.

Elara, still frowning looked away in annoyance while folding her hand on her chest as though throwing a tantrum.

Then she suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, "Those Revenstein guys are so hot!"

Dina couldn't help but roll her eyes as she muttered, "Not this again."

"You can't blame me, Dina! Even you know I'm right. They're all so hot, especially our leader. Ahh, the first day I saw him I almost went mad," Elara exclaimed.

"It was love at first sight," she added, clasping her hands together on her chest while blushing slightly. "Ah, I want to see him!"

Dina shook her head slightly at Elara's ramblings, then she turned her gaze to the side in annoyance leaving her to continue daydreaming.

Just as she was watching over the forest, suddenly, she spotted a figure in the distance, running out from the forest.
