Chapter 592 Special Invitations
Time passed by in a flash, and soon... Landon had already screened all movies and TV shows available.
Now all that was left, was for the staff to edit everything according to his corrections.
Today was bright and fair.
The sun was out, and the streets were less cold than they usually were.
Winter was nearing its end, and Spring was already coming in full swing.
It hadn’t snowed in a while now... And coupled with the fact that the streets were cleared of any snowy residue, it almost made the people feel like the harsh winter was finally over.
Of course, the only thing that truly reminded them that they were still in winter.... was the fact that the roofs of their homes and yards still had snow on them.
Today’s sun came as a shock to everyone, because even though it hadn’t snowed for a while..... The weather had always retained a very dull mood, as if it would rain any second from now.
"Your majesty, it’s time."
"Thank you, Milicent!"
’Cachang!’
Landon dropped his office phone, stood up, arranged the documents on his office desk and calmly took his coat and scarf from the coat hanger.
Just now, his other Secretary, Milicent... Had informed him about his appointment within the barracks.
So without wasting any time, Landon quickly headed out towards the barracks... But of course, he got coffee too.
.
’Vrrrrrrmmmmmmmm!’
It didn’t take Landon too long to the barracks, due to the fact that there was hardly any traffic.... since he had just travelled from District A to District B, which was typically used by military personnel and those working in visiting the palace instead.
Citizens weren’t allowed in District B, as it was where all army training institutions were.
Additionally, it was also the home to the Maximum security prisons as well.
Prison visitations were allowed... But so far, no one had come forward to visit these prisoners.
So only those within Baymard’s armed forces could go in and out of the District at will.
Of course, the citizens were only allowed to drive through the main highway that led to District A (palace).
Candidates that joined this sector would typically get a secret invitation card that even had the official military seal on it.
For this, they would get one of their men to place the letters in unexpected places... While secretly watching and making sure that the candidates were the ones that picked up the envelopes.
Some candidates were surprised to see the envelope when they opened their lockers after taking a shower.
Some saw them within their favourite books, while others even saw them on the track after jogging for a while.
The whole thing was kept as a mystery, and no one knew whether the news was real or not.
But they decided to go to the rendezvous point just to be sure.
For sure, some doubted the invitation... And tried to compare Landon’s signature and writing style to the one on the invitation.
In short, some wanted to report the matter to the officials within the barracks... But the spies who kept a close eye on them quickly intercepted them, pretended listened to their complaints about the invitation and promised to get to the bottom of it for them.
Of course, they had told the men to also keep the matter a secret as well... While encouraging the candidates to go to the rendezvous point for further investigation.
And so on the first day that they had arrived, they were subjected to several tests without even seeing the invigilators.
.
If one cheated, no one would stop them... But all their actions were duly noted by those who observed them keenly.
At first when they had arrived, they saw several sheets of paper in the room.
Some of them argued and tried to find a logical point of view for this all, while others were still skeptical through and through.
The candidates argued with each other and also looked for clues around the room.
It was only when someone saw a hidden timer, that they realized that they had been working on time while waiting.
In short, they had taken several mental and physical ghost exams... Like escaping from a hidden room, and so on.
And those that advanced, received another secret invitation as well.
From start to end, these candidates had never seen anyone whilst taking these tests.
But today, they would finally see the culprits responsible for these tests.
The Captains all smiled slightly when they thought of today’s candidates.
They were truly an intriguing bunch!
Heheh..... Hopefully, they don’t cry too much after this week’s training.
Because it would definitely hurt like hell!
