The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia)
Chapter 361 An Exception

Sylvia's POV:

Leonard's serious face reared in my head and I couldn't help but shiver in fear.

Moreover, Leonard was Alina's father. Alina and I were not on good terms. It would be awkward if Leonard was under the impression that I had bullied his daughter.

Even though Alina and I barely talked to each other, we did have a beef with each other. Plus, our relationship got even worse because I was with Rufus now. "Oh, I see..." I didn't want to be caught in such a sticky situation, but it seemed my path was laid out for me.

"Sylvia, I know what you're worried about." Rufus looked at me seriously. "I can assure you that Leonard is absolutely trustworthy. He's nothing like his daughter."

Rufus' reassuring words made me feel better. I finally agreed to Leonard's training.

"Oh, but can I join the army the day after tomorrow instead? I want to attend Blair's class for the last time tomorrow."

Rufus didn't say anything. He frowned and seemed to be weighing things in his mind.

"Please? I won't have many chances to see Blair in the future. I also wanted to thank him for clearing my mother's name." I stuck out my lower lip, acting like a spoiled child. "I haven't had the chance to express my gratitude to him yet. I want to invite him to dinner tomorrow to thank him properly."

Rufus finally relented. "Fine. You can postpone going to the army for one day. You can thank Blair, but you don't have to invite him to dinner. I don't trust him."

Seeing the irritated expression on Rufus's face, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What had Blair done to piss him off this time?

"Okay, okay."

As long as Rufus agreed, I was happy.

After that was settled, Rufus escorted me back to my dormitory.

As soon as I entered the room, Flora bounded over happily and threw her arms around me. "Oh, my God! Sylvia! I have great news for you!" "What's making you so happy?" I eyed her curiously. I hadn't seen her this happy in a long time.

Flora winked at me mysteriously and slowly took her phone out of her pocket.

"What's going on? Why are you acting so weird?" Her behavior piqued my curiosity even more. I looked at her phone screen and vaguely saw a text from the army.

Flora held out her phone with flourish and shouted, "Look! I'm joining the elite team!"

My eyes went wide with excitement and I grabbed the phone from her to read the message. "It's true! But why so sudden?"

Flora hadn't made it to the forbidden forest test. We had all already assumed that she wouldn't be able to join the elite team because of this. So this news was a wonderful surprise!

"Peter was arrested, while Tom, the bastard who hurt Warren, was seriously injured and is still in the ICU. They picked me because I entered the forbidden forest to help with the search and rescue operations. Plus, I also saved Warren's life. Since I've made substantial contributions, the army recruited me!" Flora was jumping up and down with joy. She rushed to the cabinet and took out a hair clipper. "Hurry up! Sylvia, help me shave my hair!"

"Calm down, Flora! Why on earth do you want to shave your hair?" I quickly yanked the hair clipper out of Flora's hand for fear that she might hurt herself.

"Duh! As a pledge that I want to work hard, of course. Once I shave my hair, I'll be able to defeat all my enemies!" Flora touched her smooth, long hair. She hadn't had a haircut in months and her hair came down to her shoulders now. The neat bangs on her forehead framed her round eyes, making her look younger than she actually was.

I was at a loss, not knowing whether to burst into tears or laughter. "So, it was your hair that was holding you back all this time?"

I couldn't imagine what she'd look like without her hair. Warren would probably break down at the sight of her bald head.

"Just help me, will you? My hair will grow anyway." Flora lowered her head for me. It seemed that she had already made up her mind. After hesitating for a while, I finally turned on the hair clipper and pointed it towards Flora's head.
