Chapter 642: Miss Hancock, Watch Out for the Two Big Wolves Behind You
Grace gripped her palms tightly.
It was a lie to say she hadn't seen; in the entire X Bureau, she was the only one with curly, loose hair-how could she be mistaken?
"Why is the second squad still dawdling? If we don't set off now, it's a ten-kilometer weighted march!"
Nathan shouted, and as Hayden climbed aboard, he slapped the canopy, "Hurry up, if we lose to that bastard Jason today, I'll have your heads!"
Grace watched helplessly as the vehicle drove away from her. Just as she turned to get into Nathan's car, she saw that Nathan was already seated and had started the engine.
"Nathan, wait for me!" Grace stood and yelled, but Nathan, as if deaf, drove off without her.
There were strict protocols for deploying vehicles at the X Bureau; advance applications were necessary, and Grace couldn't drive her own car onto the training field. She had no choice but to chase after them. Upstairs.
Christopher was sipping tea, watching the scene unfold, a smirk curling his lips.
That boy Nathan, truly inheriting Jared's craft.
Over the phone, Christopher relayed Nathan's antics to Jared.
Jared chuckled after hearing it, "Let them be."
"Jared, you must be cautious of Grace, backed by Leo, she's no simple matter," Christopher warned.
"Don't worry, she won't stir up much trouble."
Hearing Jared's confident tone, Christopher snorted with laughter, "What does your master say?"
Jared was silent for a few seconds, "After all these years, why do you still depend so much on my master? Don't you have your own opinions?"
"Jared! You-"
The dial tone beeped abruptly, and Christopher hung up the phone furiously.
"The little bastard!"
Jared rubbed his nose and tossed his phone aside.
Tina glanced at Jared and asked, "Aren't you afraid your boss won't let people go?"
"What's there to fear, we still have Chief Linden?"
Tina raised her eyebrows, "Right, you're correct."
Soon, Courtney, who was training in the field, received a call.
"Yes, I'm coming back now."
Jason had just changed into new clothes and saw Courtney heading out, he quickly asked, "Where are you going? I still want to fight you."
"No time." Courtney didn't look back, waving at Jason, "Next time, I'll make sure you're crying snot."
Hayden laughed loudly from the side, "Courtney, I support you!"
Jason fastened his wrist strap and shouted at Hayden, "Today, I'm going to make you cry snot first!" After changing, Courtney walked off the training field and bumped into a panting Grace hurrying over. She looked so frail, nearly falling apart.
Seeing Courtney, she quickly waved, "You... what are you doing? Why aren't you on the training field?" Courtney was genuinely worried Grace would just melt into a puddle and evaporate under the sun.
"I have a mission, do I need to report that, Miss Hancock?"
Grace caught her breath and straightened up, trying to seem more imposing, "I'm responsible for the daily oversight of each team member, shouldn't I ask?"
Courtney slightly curved her lips, "Miss Hancock, you might want to think about how to handle those two big wolves behind you."
Grace was startled, "What big wolves?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Grace heard barking behind her, growing louder and closer, heading straight for her.
These were two wolf-dogs Jared had raised to train the team, known for cleverly adjusting their difficulty-gentler with the new recruits, but relentlessly chasing after seasoned members like Hayden and Nathan, showing no mercy. Today, Grace found herself pursued around the training ground in the manner of training fresh recruits, chased by two large wolfhounds. Nathan watched Grace's every move but showed no signs of stopping. Dream on if you think you can get a handle on the training field! Grace ran across the field, and any slip could turn her into lunch for the two wolfhounds trailing behind her.

"Isn't anyone going to do something? Help!" Grace shouted as she ran, but no one around her paid any attention. Everyone stood to the side, clapping and cheering as if watching a movie. "Miss Hancock is impressive! You'd be the champion with that 5-kilometer weight!"
"The potential of a woman is indeed limitless, go Miss Hancock!"
"Run faster, Darkie and Darkie Jr are speeding up!" Darkie and Darkie Jr were the names of the dogs.
Grace ran around the athletic track of the training ground and, having no other option, jumped into a mud pit. Darkie and Darkie Jr, being the clean freaks they were, stood at the edge of the mud pit, howling in dissatisfaction at Grace before disdainfully leaving. Grace had lived for over twenty years and this was the first time she had been snubbed by two dogs.
"Ah!" Grace yelled in frustration, her hands slamming down into the mud, wishing she could hurl the mud at the dogs like knives.
Nathan soon blew the whistle for assembly, and all the team members lined up in an orderly fashion. "Today's training went well, we'll wrap up early and head home for dinner!"
The crowd cheered in approval and then boarded the vehicles to leave. Grace struggled in the mud pit, watching everyone leave with her eyes wide open, "Where are you going? Wait for me!"
Grace, who had been pampered all her life, found herself stuck in a mud pit specially prepared for the X Bureau's special squad, deep enough to trap her calves. It would take some skill to climb out without help.
Yet, no one heeded Grace's cries, and she could only watch helplessly as the squad's vehicles drove away. It took Grace half an hour to climb out of the mud pit. Her elaborately styled curly hair from the morning, her meticulously applied high- end makeup, and the haute couture she wore beneath her training gear were all tortured into a state resembling rotting swill at a garbage dump.
Never having faced such humiliation, Grace broke down and cried loudly in the middle of the training ground. The guard of the training ground approached with Darkie and Darkie Jr, "Hey, are you leaving or not? If you're not, I'm locking up, and you can stay here with Darkie and Darkie Jr."
Darkie and Darkie Jr growled at Grace again. Terrified, Grace scrambled to her feet and limped out of the training ground.
"Mommy, is that person a beggar? She looks so dirty." Grace yelled at a bluntly speaking child by the roadside: "Where did you spawn from, you little brat! Get lost! Do you believe I could kill you?" The child's parents quickly took their child away. It's a principle not to converse with the deranged.
Grace clenched her fists tightly, determined to reclaim, with interest, the indignities she suffered today. She would make Nathan, no, the entire X Bureau pay dearly on behalf of the Hancock family, turning Jared and Tina into the mud beneath her feet!
Meanwhile, Courtney had already driven to the Brookes family home. "Courtney's here, come in, come in," Scarlett warmly welcomed Courtney into their home.
