[Chapter 244]
"I understand, it won't happen again in the future, Sir!" David replied. "It won't happen again? You are already dead, but you talk about a future? As a member of Falcon, we must be vigilant at all times. Not only does it mean that you'll lose your life if you fail, but you might also drag down your teammates," Ivan Tomlinson continued berating David.
Ivan despised people like David who was recruited directly into Falcon without being trained b y the military or going through multiple layers of selection.
These kinds of people got in because they were from big families, and they came in by pulling strings so they could enjoy training themselves before be called a member of Falcon. Although they were just freelancers, they were still part of the group.
Being part of Falcon was the honor that they fought hard and risked their lives for, but now they were being regarded as decoration for these people to show off outside.
So, when he received an order from his superiors to pick up a special recruit named David Lidell, he decided to give David a show of his strength immediately.
Even if he knew he would not change anything nor stop David, at least he could avenge his men who had sacrificed their lives to protect these kinds of people.,
"Sir, I'm here to go through the formalities, not to listen to your reprimands. If you want to d o it, then do it, but if you don't want to, I'm fine with that as well. I don't have time to listent o your nagging here," David said angrily.
David was indeed a little mad. When he was working part-time before, he had encountered a lot of bosses and customers like this, especially when he was delivering food.
However, at that time, he was still a poor guy with nothing to his name, and he had to enduren o matter what, but now that he was the richest man in the world, why would he still endure such grievances?
Moreover, it did not matter to him whether he joined Falcon or not. His status as an official member of the Special Task Force Team A was enough for him to act like a poser.
Joining Falcon now would just be the icing on the cake. It would be better if he could join, but i t did not matter if he could not.
However, at this moment, he did not want to suffer this grievance. He had enough of this for the past 21 years.
He figured he had shown enough respect for these people at the beginning, and he still had no idea why these people were targeting him.
When David said this, it was not just Ivan, all the other members of Falcon looked at him with ridicule.
'How dare this kid talk back to Captain Tomlinson?
'This is going to be good.'
Everyone knew that Captain Tomlinson looked down on this kind of special recruit the most.
They were all children of big families who wanted to come in to train themselves. They did not have the necessary ability at all, and they were very problematic.
It seemed that they had to carry David back today.
"Are you provoking me, kid? Ivan said with a cold look in his eyes.
"Sir, I'm here to go through the formalities. Just tell me if you want to proceed with it. I'm not your subordinate and I am calling you Sir as a sign of respect. I don't have time to waste with you," David said indifferently.
"You are my subordinate if you are already a freelancer of Falcon and I have the right to educate you," Ivan said solemnly.
"Sir, I didn't offend you, did I? What do you want? If you don't want to proceed, then I'll just g 0," David said helplessly.
"I want to teach you how to be a decent human being. Come on, teach this kid a lesson! Let him know that Falcon is not the place for the children of big families," Ivan said to the surrounding Falcon members.
"Let me do it." One of the team members stood up.
"Don't go too hard on him. Just make him bedridden for half a month," Ivan said to the member.
"Roger, Captain Tomlinson," the member replied.
"Go ahead, I'll let you make three moves first," the member said to David again.
"Are we really doing this?" David asked.
"What nonsense! I asked you to do it so just do it! Don't worry, I will only make you bedridden for half a month at most."
"If we're really fighting, you're not enough for me."
"Are you looking down on me, kid?"
"I'm not looking down on you specifically, I'm looking down on everyone present," David said after glancing around.
