"But I don't want to change him."
Chloe pulled the water glass toward her across the table and replied flatly.
Hearing this answer, Xavier fell silent for a while before continuing to ask:
"Why? What unique charm does Anderson possess that makes you want to keep him by your side?"
He now regretted his decision somewhat.
Xavier had always had a keen eye, and he could see that even if Anderson had no ulterior motives now, he would surely develop them later.
But how could his daughter Chloe be involved with a common vampire from a military academy?
It was apparent that his previous decision to place Anderson by Chloe's side was extremely foolish.
But it was too late now, and anything Xavier said would be useless.
Because Chloe was now wholeheartedly on Anderson's side.
Chloe had the feeling of a well-tended cabbage being plundered by a pig.
When Kewen had mentioned it to him before, he hadn't thought much of it, but now...
Xavier's face darkened with rage.
Facing his puzzled look, Chloe smiled faintly:
"Nothing, it's just that I'm more used to using Anderson."
"Just because of that?" Xavier asked.
Chloe nodded.
The private rest rooms arranged for the military academy students on the spaceship were extremely luxurious. Chloe stared at the diamond chandelier on the ceiling for a moment, then sighed:
"You don't need to worry too much, I know what I'm doing."
Xavier's gaze darkened, but in the end he still changed the subject, asking instead:
"You have one final competition remaining?"
Chloe nodded: "Yes."
The Joint Military Academy Competition consisted of a total of six competitions.
Under these circumstances, it was a foregone conclusion that The No.1 Military Academy would win the championship, without a doubt.
"Well done," Xavier said with approval.
"You'll have a vacation after the competition, right? Why don't you come back to the clan and visit?"
Chloe glanced at him: "Go back to the clan to do what? Watch you bully Anderson?"
Xavier: "..."
"I won't lay a hand on him."
Even if he disliked Anderson, what could he do about it?
With Chloe around, could he forcibly take action against Anderson?
Besides, as the venerable progenitor of the vampires, it would be beneath his dignity to go after an immature fledgling.
Chloe snorted: "That's for the best."
Hearing this, Xavier narrowed his eyes slightly: "You're becoming more and more unruly."
Chloe's ears twitched, and she blinked at the light screen, flashing a brilliant smile:
"Isn't it because you spoiled me, Father?"
Xavier: "..."
His tone grew heavier: "In any case, come home for a visit after the competition, understood?"
Chloe drawled lazily: "Yeah, yeah, I got it."
After a brief silence between them, Xavier cut off the communication first.
Once the room fell silent again, Chloe ran her fingers through her half-dry hair and collapsed onto the sofa.
So tired, so annoying. She wanted to kick Anderson out and find someone else, someone more obedient and loyal.
But after some thought, Chloe wondered if there really could be anyone more loyal than Anderson?
Would there really be anyone who understood her better than Anderson?
Would there really be anyone who could spar with her like Anderson?
Chloe doubted it.
She hadn't originally intended to get angry with Anderson, but this time Anderson had really gone too far.
Even though she was Chloe's person, why had he used Xavier's name to pressure her?
As if she, Chloe, would actually be afraid.
Ridiculous, the number of people she had ever feared could be counted on one hand, apart from that Ren Yunying.
The more she thought about it, the more aggravated she became, until finally Chloe turned off the lights and went to bed.
...
"Still haven't appeased her?"
In the spacious training room, Daniel's voice was particularly clear.
The motion of Anderson, who was lifting weights, paused slightly before he slowly shook his head.
At this, Daniel burst out laughing.
He looked around, then sidled up next to Anderson, wisely keeping a distance as he said:
"Girls need to be appeased, you know. Look at what Chloe usually likes, then buy or make that for her as a gift, and it'll be fine."
Anderson's gaze flickered, and he turned to look at Daniel.
During the previous competition, Anderson was the only one among the five who had agreed with Daniel's idea, so Daniel had a good impression of him this time.
Daniel said:
"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm asking you, do you know what Chloe likes?"
Hearing this, Anderson lowered his gaze in thought.
Daniel waited excitedly.
After a while, Anderson said:
"Ion Cannons."
Daniel was momentarily dumbfounded: "She likes what?"
"Ion Cannons," Anderson stated with certainty.
The kind that were as tall as an adult's waist, that could be set up on the ground or carried on one's shoulders to blast people with.
Highly destructive heat weapons.
Daniel fell silent for a moment.
On the other side, Anderson was still hesitating: "Should I give her an Ion Cannon?"
"But these heat weapons aren't easy to buy openly, and there's also a very low possibility of making one myself."
Seeing him seriously contemplating how to obtain an Ion Cannon, Daniel licked his lips, his voice strained:
"Well, other than Ion Cannons, what else does Chloe like?"
Anderson stopped his muttering.
He stared at Daniel for a moment, then said:
"She also likes other heat weapons, the young lady enjoys them very much."
Daniel: "..."
"Other than heat weapons?"
Where could he get a heat weapon for Chloe right now?
It would be easier after the competition when they returned to the military academy.
After careful consideration, Anderson shook his head, indicating that he was also quite perplexed.
Because it seemed that apart from Ion Cannons, Chloe didn't have any particular favorite things, except perhaps beautiful women.
But Anderson didn't want to give Chloe beautiful women.
In fact, because of Chloe's fondness for beautiful women, whenever he got into fights, he would pay special attention to avoid injuring his own face, otherwise the young lady would dislike seeing it.
Anderson couldn't explain, and Daniel was even more at a loss.
He waved over Qin Huaibei and Katherine and asked them to join in thinking of a solution.
Qin Huaibei, with a towel still draped around his neck, seemed a bit bewildered upon hearing the situation:
"They started arguing from the competition arena and are still going at it outside?"
Daniel rolled his eyes: "Yep, they're both being stubborn as hell."
Seeing Anderson's distracted look, Qin Huaibei pondered for a moment, slowing his motion of wiping sweat, and then said:
"Why don't you start by sincerely apologizing first? Do you know why Chloe is angry with you?"
Hearing this, Anderson paused slightly before nodding hesitantly.
Seeing this, Qin Huaibei and Katherine exchanged a glance, both somewhat exasperated.
Katherine lowered her voice:
"Since you know, then you should go and apologize earnestly. Discussing what gift to give Chloe here is completely useless."
"She'll only think you have the wrong attitude, trying to smooth things over with a gift."
Katherine sat cross-legged on the floor, looking up as she continued:
"What's most important for you now is to let Chloe know that you've recognized your mistake and that you absolutely won't repeat it in the future."
"Can you do that?"
A hint of bewilderment flashed across Anderson's eyes.
