Chapter 160 Unable to Refuse Her
"Dr. Garcia, do you want to go up front? The view's better there!"
Seeing her standing still, the bodyguard asked with concern.
Olivia snapped back to reality, shook her head, and replied, "No, I'm fine here."
There were too many people in the central area, and after Andrew stopped, quite a few special forces members were eager to approach him for advice.
Before long, he was surrounded by people!
The man was like the moon surrounded by stars—distant and unreachable.
This inevitably reminded her of what she'd seen in Harmony City.
That sense of disconnect and distance came rushing back.
Whether it was glamorous occasions or solemn places like this... they all gave her the illusion that they weren't from the same world.
For a moment, she couldn't bring herself to move forward.
Andrew hadn't noticed her arrival. He just asked Henry casually, "Do you accept defeat?"
Henry put down his gun with a smile and said, "I do. I thought your skills would've gotten rusty while you were taking it easy, but looks like I underestimated you. I lost!"
He admitted it quite readily.
In the various shooting competitions just now, he'd been completely crushed.
Andrew was still as terrifying and insane as ever!
However, having finally dragged him onto the field, it would be a waste not to make good use of him.
Henry smoothly said, "Since you're free anyway, why not give them some pointers today and let them understand how vast the gap can be."
Andrew wasn't very interested and was about to refuse, but Henry was good at trapping people.
He raised his voice and announced, "Physical training is cancelled today. We're switching to shooting practice. Starting now, everyone gets three bullets to hit a moving target. You have to hit the center to pass.
If you miss, feel free to ask Andrew for advice!"
The special forces members were thrilled and started lining up voluntarily.
Soon, several long lines had formed.
Andrew was speechless.
He looked at Henry coolly, "Did you ask for my permission?"
Henry replied calmly, "Whether you agree or not doesn't matter... What matters is, this is a great opportunity for you to show off."
He leaned in and lowered his voice, "Dr. Garcia might finish up and come out anytime now. She could watch you in action."
Andrew scoffed, "Do I need to show off?"
That's what he said, but the atmosphere was already set, and he didn't refuse in the end.
Soon, Andrew's coaching session began.
He was always strict and focused on efficiency. Once he got serious, he used the harshest methods.
Can't hold the gun steady?
Then strengthen arm strength and balance training.
Loading bullets too slowly?
Practice it continuously, a hundred times over.
Getting pushed back by the recoil?
Double the physical endurance training...
Gradually, the special forces members began to experience the horror of this devil training, silently groaning in misery.
Olivia didn't go up to disturb him the whole time, just watching from afar.
Seeing those originally energetic special forces members turn into wilted cabbages one by one, she couldn't help but feel sympathetic.
They looked... quite pitiful!
It was then that Andrew finally noticed her presence.
The man paused slightly, strode over to her with his long legs, and asked, "When did you get here?"
Olivia blinked and answered honestly, "I've been here for a while, probably... since your last shooting session ended."
Andrew raised an eyebrow.
That long?
So she'd seen him training people the whole time?
As if reading his thoughts, Olivia couldn't help but smile, "Before, when you were guiding Bianca through her autism treatment, I thought you were so patient, the gentlest psychologist."
Andrew's eyes gleamed with interest, "And now?"
"Now..."
Olivia curved her lips and said, "Now I can't really judge, but I think in their minds, you're definitely a ruthless devil king!"
Andrew looked amused.
Devil king?
"Seems like that's what you think too!"
"No, no."
Olivia denied it flatly.
But her smiling eyes had already betrayed her thoughts.
"Saying one thing and thinking another."
Andrew couldn't help but flick her forehead lightly with his finger as punishment.
Olivia hadn't expected him to do that. She instinctively covered her head, looking shocked.
"That hurt..."
Her tone carried a mix of surprise and grievance.
"I barely touched you!"
Andrew's eyes flashed with amusement as he explained, "I did this for their own good. Here, they occasionally have chances to slack off, but once they're on a mission and face danger, they won't have that kind of luck.
Only sufficient ability can increase their chances of survival and avoid unnecessary sacrifice."
Olivia naturally understood this, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
The person in front of her was just like that—thorough and responsible in everything he did.
Having such a guide was a blessing for the special forces members.
Originally, Olivia had felt that the man before her was unreachable.
But after a few exchanges and interactions, that feeling dissipated again.
Andrew was still warm and approachable.
Olivia felt both excited and at ease, and began to ask curiously, "Before, I only thought you were a psychologist, but seeing your excellent shooting skills just now, it seems that's not all. Were you also one of them before?"
Hearing this question, Andrew didn't answer directly, only responding vaguely, "I did spend some time with them. Later, due to some special reasons, I stopped participating."
As for what those reasons were, he didn't elaborate.
Olivia was a bit surprised.
She hadn't expected to actually guess right!
However, she wisely didn't press further.
Matters involving the special forces must involve many secrets that couldn't be casually discussed.
But that didn't stop her eyes from lighting up, "In that case, Mr. Hamilton, you must have experienced some injuries too, right? Can I ask what specifically, or what tricky, hard-to-treat conditions you've encountered?
It's like this—when I went to Harmony City to sign the cooperation agreement with the director of the Medical Bureau, right?
The medications they need are specifically for various injuries encountered during military operations.
But the information they provided is limited, so I was thinking of gathering more details.
Since you're familiar with this, could I collect some information from you? It would really help with my future research and development!"
Andrew hadn't expected her to turn the conversation in this direction, and couldn't help but laugh.
She really didn't miss any opportunity related to work!
However, facing those bright, shining eyes, he couldn't refuse, so he said in a warm, deep voice, "Sure, I'll tell you whatever you want to know."
"Really?"
Olivia's face lit up with delight, "That's great! Then just give me a brief overview later, and I'll record it on my phone and organize it when I get back!"
