Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez by Selina Gorges

Chapter 484 The burly man, known as Charlie, was the second-in-command here, right after Kash. Years ago, after Yvette saved him, it was discovered that Charlie had a unique physique compared to ordinary people. His resilience was a hundred times greater than average, and he hardly felt any pain. So Yvette taught him a special technique that Charlie mastered, developing skills similar to having an impenetrable body.

After saying this, Eagle King felt the urge to give Charlie a few kicks, but remembering Charlie's fortress-like build and impenetrable muscles, he held back and decided not to.

Rodney chuckled. "Samantha, Emmett, you probably don't know about the silly thing Eagle King did back in the day. He insisted on..." Before Rodney could finish, Eagle King hugged him from behind and covered his mouth. "It's fine. It's fine. Don't listen to this kid's nonsense." Eagle King then quietly warned Rodney, "Listen here, kid. If you dare to talk, you're in big trouble with me." Eagle King thought everything was settled after silencing Rodney and finally relaxed. But he didn't account for someone else. he absolutely didn't dare to confront.

Without turning around, Yvette casually said, "Eagle King once underestimated Charlie in a contest and almost got himself in serious trouble." Yvette's tone remained neutral. Emmett, Samantha, and Charles struggled to hold back their laughter upon hearing this. But out of respect for the Eagle King, they stifled their amusement. The scene was undeniably funny.

The Eagle King hadn't expected his secrets to be revealed by Yvette. He could only defend himself, saying, "Back then, it was really an accident. It's not like it was that serious. The boss is exaggerating." Everyone knew that Yvette never exaggerated when she spoke, so the Eagle King's situation was quite awkward. Seeing everyone's gaze, even the thick-skinned Eagle King couldn't handle it. Resorting to the old wisdom that retreat was the best strategy, he quickly made his escape.

On the high platform, Yvette watched Charlie emerge from below. Compared to three years ago, he looked even more imposing.

Charlie looked at Yvette excitedly and shouted, "Boss, want to cdown for a spar?" That shout was so loud it scared the birds away from the trees. The people nearby immediately started chanting, "Boss, cdown." "Boss, take Charlie down." "Go, boss. Go, boss." Charles, Emmett, and Samantha didn't expect Charlie to challenge Yvette right away. He was bold and brave Yvette smirked slightly, her expression remaining unchanged, and her delicate eyebrows showed a casual indifference. Her voice was low and husky, "Alright, but there has to be something at stake." At that moment, Jeremiah stepped forward and held Yvette's hand in front of the three thousand people below. Yvette tilted her head slightly, not saying anything, just looking at him and raising an eyebrow.

Jeremiah's action caused the crowd below to erupt with excitement.

"What's going on? Is this guy the boss' boy toy or something?" "The boss let him hold hands, so their relationship must be special. Otherwise, anyone trying to hold the boss' hand would be history by now." "The boss' new guy is kind of good-looking, right? Can you really trust a handsman? What if he betrays the boss?" 62% "You have a point. But if this guy dares to betray the boss, the boss won't let him get away with it. So we wouldn't even need to do a thing." "You're right. Who is the boss anyway? If I had known the boss was into guys earlier, I would've tried to compete for the position. Being the boss' favorite, I'd have no regrets in this life.

"Con, with your looks, you think you can be the boss' guy? You better forget about it." "Just look at the boss' guy and then look at yourself. Forget about your skills, even in terms of looks and vibe, you're way off." Charlie stared at Jeremiah with a hint of challenge. In their eyes, no one in the world could be worthy of Yvette. He thought, 'What kind of skills does this guy have?' Although he didn't look weak, one couldn't tell until there was a fight. Charlie looked at Jeremiah. "Hey, buddy, since you're the boss' boyfriend, that makes you our future man of the army. It's not enough to look good if you want to be with the boss. You've got to show sreal skills. Are you up for coming down and giving it a try?" Jeremiah's eyes were deep and steady, bright yet completely emotionless. He nodded politely. "Sure." The crowd responded together, "Great... Great... Great..." Their voices were thunderous and filled with excitement. Jeremiah turned to Yvette. "Wait for me." Yvette slid her hands into her pockets, raised her eyelids slightly and a playful light flickered in her eyes. "OK." Without hesitation, Jeremiah turned and walked off the stage. His tall and striking silhouette radiated a sense of coldness and sharpness.

Kash glanced at Jeremiah, his eyes showing newfound admiration. A man meant to be a leader needed courage. Without it, he had no better than dead.

Emmett, Samantha, and Charles didn't expect things to escalate to Jeremiah going down to challenge someone in the army. Nonetheless, none of them were worried.

After all, it was Jeremiah. He joined the military in his teens, undefeated, and becthe youngest major general in Clusia. Varied techniques might work on others, but they were nothing compared to Jeremiah.

Yvette was even less concerned. She gave Kash a knowing look, and he immediately brought a chair over for ef her to sit on. Everyone knew Yvette's habit. If she could sit, she'd never stand. If she could lie down, she'd never sit. Simply put, she was lazy.

Rodney approached Yvette with a worried look. "Yvette, what if Jeremiah ends up losing? Won't that be embarrassing?" Rodnesubconsciously thought Jeremiah's physique seemed a bit "weak", making a victory against Charlie seem unlikely. Yvette pinched the corner of her eye, her long legs stretching out casually. "He won't lose. He simply won't." Charlie went up against Jeremiah like an ant trying to topple a huge tree.

Rodney's eyes danced with mischief. "Yvette, if Jeremiah ends up losing, you might feel embarrassed. You still have tto considerinstead. I'll wait for you until I'm 18." Emmett was standing nearby and couldn't help but twitch at the comment. He thought, 'Wasn't Rodney just being buddy-buddy with Mr. Chavez earlier? And now he's openly trying to step in.' This kid was incredibly smart. Down on the ground, Jeremiah walked up to the packed crowd.

62% Standing at the front was Charlie, who sized up Jeremiah. Despite his rough appearance, he was surprisingly polite when he spoke. "What's your name?" Jeremiah's expression was indifferent, his deep blue eyes slightly raised, exuding a laid-back yet fierce vibe, full of danger.

Charlie immediately sensed the danger coming from Jeremiah and couldn't help but pay close attention to him.

"Jeremiah, Charlie said with a slight bow. "Mr. Chavez, our usual custom is to have three challenges. The first round is hand-to-hand combat. The second is a shooting match, and the third is a mental math competition. Jeremiah nodded, indicating he had no objections. From the platform, Samantha asked curiously, "I understand the hand-to-hand combat and the shooting for the first two rounds, but isn't having a mental math contest for the third round a bit strange? Do these guys even have someone good at that?" SEND GIFT
