Chapter 439: Courtney Wants to Join the Lab

Tina nodded. The affairs of the Reed family no longer concerned her. If one day they cto her for help, she

wouldn't just stand by. If they didn't come, then all would be peaceful. Damian seemed to notice Tina too; his

expression briefly twisted but quickly returned to normal as he nodded at her in greeting. Hawk, still not familiar

with Tina, showed no reaction.

"Let's go," Tina said, turning away and waving at Lysander.

"Tina, when you have time, let's go eat..." Lysander began, but before he could finish, Jared rolled up the car

window and kicked the front seat, "Drive."

Hayden jumped, confused by the sudden outburst, but dared not ask and simply drove on in silence.

Tina, perplexed, asked, "Uncle, do you have something against Lysander?"

Jared, looking indifferent, replied, "No, it was Hayden who closed the window."

"What?" Hayden exclaimed, seeing Jared's warning look in the rearview mirror and quickly nodding in agreement,

"Yes, yes, it was me. Serena, go ahead and hit me."

Might as well beatso | don't have to drive! Where did that little rascal Nathan go? He's recovered from his

illness; why isn't he back driving yet? He just started working again the other day!

Nathan: Training a newbie, do not disturb.

As the car moved further away, Lysander watched, his hopeful gaze slowly fading. He knew he wasn't yet worthy

to stand by Tina's side. Everything had to wait.

Hawk walked over with Damian and asked, "Lysander, what's Miss Reed doing here?"

"Just meeting a friend," Lysander replied, his gaze falling.

"Oh, | saw a young girl get into her car. Is she your classmate?" Hawk looked thoughtfully in the direction where

the car had disappeared.

"I don't know her, didn't see what she looked like," Lysander said, adjusting his backpack. "Aren't we supposed to

be at sbanquet?"

He had actually seen Courtney; both were finance majors and knew each other. They hardly spoke at school,

only interacting when grouped together by teachers, and had no contact after the group assignments ended. But

Hawk's question seemed too bothersto answer.

However, Courtney knowing Tina was a surprise. He had thought Courtney always kept to herself without many

friends. Seeing Lysander's impatience, Hawk didn't press further and left with Damian for Kongham University.

In Tina's car, Courtney pulled out a certificate. It was issued by the Kongham University School of Medicine.

"You beca professional doctor?" Tina was surprised.

She knew Courtney's mother, Kahleah, was Natalie's capable assistant and had her own medical expertise. But

she didn't expect Courtney to follow in those footsteps as well.

Hayden teased, "Serena, you've inherited all eighteen skills of your mother, and Courtney just one, is it that

hard?"

Tina remained silent.

"Yes, | used my spare tto earn this, but I'm only a professional doctor now, not yet skilled enough to

participate in experimental research," Courtney said, removing her black-framed glasses to reveal her bright

eyes. Tina smiled, "Do you want to enter the lab?"

Courtney nodded, "Yes, my mom once toldabout the many research projects she worked on with Lark. | want

to fulfill my mother's wish. Could you taketo the lab to see? I'd like to learn while doing." "No," Tina handed

the certificate back to Courtney, "Not yet, at least."

Courtney was stunned. "Why? Your Husky can drive."

"That's because he has a driver's license. You yourself said you are not yet capable of participating in

experimental research. At the very least, you need to completely master the experimental techniques before |

can let you into the lab." Ambition is good, but everything must be approached with care.

One cannot run before learning to walk.

Courtney pursed her lips, her eyes dimming as she spoke softly, "But twaits for no one. If | go to school, |

can't focus on my research. There's only so much vacation time, and I'm afraid..." Afraid that before she

qualifies, GTO might make their move.

Jared held Tina's hand, rubbing the back gently, "You could start by reporting to Bureau X's training camp. Once

you pass our training, you can be assigned to the YQ Laboratory."

"The YQ Laboratory? You've restarted it!" Courtney's eyes lit up.

Jared nodded, "Yes. But inside the lab, you will follow Tina's arrangements. She is the director of the YQ

Laboratory."

Courtney thought for a moment. "No problem, taketo the training camp right away!"

She just wanted to enter the lab as soon as possible, in any capacity, to pick up the reagents her mother once

used and fulfill her dreams and wishes.

Tina agreed too; if Courtney could pass the training at Bureau X, it proved she had the opportunity to intern in

the lab, and thus, she wouldn't need to stay cooped up at Kongham University doing her own research. Hayden

reluctantly turned the car around, "Captain, can | apply for the training camp too? I think I'm much better than

Nathan. The soldiers he trains, could they really be better than me?"

It's mainly because he didn't want to drive anymore!

Courtney, "..."

She didn't want the Husky as a drill instructor.

Jared glanced at Hayden indifferently, "She doesn't want you as an instructor."

"You didn't ask her, how would you know?" Hayden retorted, then asked Courtney, "How about | becyour

instructor?"

Courtney cleared her throat, "I think driving suits you well."

Hayden, "..."

Everyone just picks on him!

He hated that he didn't have more authority, being just a small squad leader, or else he would rebel!

Meanwhile, Hayden drove to Bureau X's training camp for newcomers.

Not far from the city, the camp looked like a plain courtyard from the outside.

Little did outsiders know, inside were various training fields for physical fitness, firearms, and even psychological

skills.

Each newcomer was a top student selected from across the country, seven having won first or second-class

honors, but here, they were just numbers, without past glories.

Every phase eliminated speople; even if one was top in physical and firearms skills, failing the psychological

tests meant elimination.

And those eliminated could not disclose any information about the camp; doing so would lead to more than just

a military court.

Nathan had already received the news and was waiting at the gate.

"Mr. Farrell, ma'am," Nathan greeted as the car stopped.

Accustomed to seeing Nathan in a suit, they were occasionally stunned to see him in combat gear.

Tina nodded, "Nathan looks quite handsin his combat uniform."
