Chapter 2945: Chapter 135: Requesting Marriage Leave

Commander Nelson didn’t mention it well, but when he brought up Harrison Lucas’s injury, the warmth in Ben Lucas’s eyes instantly turned icy cold.

Ben Lucas restrained his emotions: "How is the investigation going on the matter in Triumph Mountain district?"

Seeing Ben Lucas’s face darken, Commander Nelson couldn’t help but feel somewhat guilty.

Commander Nelson: "Ahem... Well... ahem, Jordan... You see, it’s like this... I was worried about your and Harrison’s safety, rushed overnight from G City, didn’t have time to..."

"So you haven’t found anything at all?" Before Commander Nelson finished speaking, Ben Lucas interrupted him coldly.

Not afraid to offend the leadership, his already displeased face instantly fell: "Since that’s the case, Debby and I will continue our leave. When you have investigated the matter in Triumph Mountain district thoroughly and give me an explanation, then I’ll return."

A well-planned military exercise suddenly stirred up a bunch of armed factions with ulterior motives.

Moreover, the opposition knew to purposely expose flaws, making them think there was suspicion in that area and lured them in.

The whole process not only involved issues with border armed factions but also revealed internal problems within the Military Region of City Y.

After Harrison Lucas had an incident, Ben Lucas sent people to investigate, but because Ben Lucas was at the hospital watching Harrison and couldn’t leave, the people he sent were actually turned away by the Military Region of City Y.

With no choice, he contacted Commander Nelson, asking him to send someone.

"Young man, the Military Region of City Y has always been a place where various forces mingle, so don’t pursue it further," Commander Nelson thought for a moment and could only advise Ben Lucas.

He didn’t know the issue was suspicious, but their G City Military Zone and City Y had never had much contact, and the Commander of the Military Region of City Y didn’t want to investigate deeply or hand over people, so he was helpless.

Commander Nelson lowered his voice: "Don’t dwell on this matter; they promised to give us an explanation. Cheer up; you discovered a loophole in the border patrol this time and also eliminated several hostile armed factions. The higher-ups are awarding commendations. Once you recover, there will be awards and decorations given to you."

Ben Lucas’s expression was heavy, and it didn’t take much inference to know that the handling result of this matter now was due to political tensions among military higher-ups.

Ben Lucas is capable and has many merits, by strength alone, he could be ranked among these higher-ups long ago.

However, because he is too young and lacks enough experience, he temporarily holds a Major General rank to pacify him.

Although he doesn’t yet have enough experience to enter the military’s highest meetings, he has an Uncle Lucas above him, an important figure in the military today. Knowing the military higher-ups’ attitudes in meetings is not difficult.

Ben Lucas thought about the words he heard from his uncle, turned cold and unsightly: "Forget about awards and decorations; until all the armed factions in Triumph Mountain district, along with those involved in this matter, are handed over, I won’t accept this award."

"How could that be!" Commander Nelson showed disapproval, "This is a significant matter for the military, it has already been reported, how can you say you won’t accept it just like that."

Ben Lucas’s tone was low: "Then just say I’m on leave, I’m taking leave and not in the military zone."

"You..." Commander Nelson was furious and turned to Harrison Lucas: "Then what about Harrison..."

Ben Lucas: "Debby is on leave too; she needs to recover."

Commander Nelson: "She’s recovering, but you don’t need to recover, right? How can two people both take sick leave!"

Ben Lucas’s brow furrowed: "Who said I’m taking sick leave, I’m taking marriage leave. Senior leader, since you’re here today, please witness this for us, Debby and I are taking marriage leave together."
