Chapter 128
The Commander
Everyone present was completely stunned.
What they were witnessing was beyond brutal-so violent it sent chills down their spine. It didn’t even look like she was kicking a person anymore. To her, it was like kieking a sandbag
The phone was still ringing.
Theron’s face on the other end of the call was tense and dark.
He had already called three times.
She still hadn’t picked up.
Was she really going to ignore him for the rest of her life?
“Cough… cough-”
Darrel cleared his throat carefully.
“Theron… maybe you should go find her?”
Before he even finished speaking-
Theron suddenly stood up. His long, straight legs carried him forward as he strode out in large, decisive steps.
Meanwhile, the man Scarlett had just beaten was already barely recognizable, his face swollen beyond recognition. 1
“You’re just watching?” Julian roared at his bodyguards. “All of you, attack! And remember-don’t hit her face! Everything else is fair game!”
The bodyguards swarmed in at once.
Scarlett casually kicked the man on the ground aside, rolled her neck, and slowly pulled a pair of gloves from her pocket.
It had been a long time since she’d really let loose.
She’d been feeling suffocated anyway-perfect timing for a proper release.
“I’ll help you,” Leomord said, thinking this might be his chance to win her favor and convince her to join his side.
“Stay out of it,” Scarlett said flatly as she walked forward alone.
She headed straight toward the group of elite bodyguards.
Too reckless.
Those were Cross family elites-each one trained to the highest level, no weaker than military special forces. Going in alone was basically suicide.
But Leomord decided to wait. If she got overwhelmed, he would step in.
That was the plan.
Unfortunately for him, reality shattered his expectations instantly.
Scarlett moved like a storm sweeping through everything in its path.
Wherever she passed-screams followed.
“Agh-!”

“Stop! Stop hitting me!”
“Please, I give up! I give up!”
The Cross family bodyguards were already begging for mercy, but Scarlett didn’t even slow down.
Her mind was replaying last night.
The image of Theron forcing her against the tree, his overwhelming dominance, that suffocating closeness…
Honestly, if it weren’t for Theo, she might have already taken action against him.
“Stop! Scarlett! Stop!”
Julian roared in rage.
“These are Cross family elite guards! If you keep going, I swear I’ll make sure you die horribly-and your entire family will be wiped out!”
At that, Scarlett finally stopped.
Everyone thought she was afraid.
A mocking smile appeared on Julian’s face.
“So you’re scared now? I told you- there’s nowhere for you to run. Crawl over here and beg me properly, or-”
He didn’t get to finish.
Because in the next second, Scarlett was already in front of him.
Without hesitation, she kicked his knee.
“Ah-!”
Julian dropped straight onto both knees in front of her.
Leomord and Harold both sucked in a sharp breath.
What the hell?!
This woman was insane.
Beating the Cross family bodyguards was one thing-but now she had actually made Julian kneel in public?
Julian’s face twisted in humiliation, veins popping as he glared at her.
“I am the Cross family head’s nephew! If you touch me, you’re dead for sure!”
“Cross family head’s nephew?” Scarlett’s voice turned colder. “Even if Theron was standing right here, I’d still hit him. Who do you think you are?”
She stepped forward again.
“Shut up. Focus on getting beaten.”
And then she started kicking him without hesitation.
“Ah-! Agh-!”
His screams echoed miserably through the area.

Haruld inhaled sharply again.
He had seen reckless people before-but never someone like her.
She had already destroyed Julian’s eye earlier, and now she was openly beating him in broad daylight. And just moments ago, she had casually said she’d beat even the Cross family head if he showed up.
She really didn’t care about dying, did she?
Meanwhile, Leomord’s expression darkened. This was getting out of hand.
He took out his phone and immediately called.
“Sir… I found her. But she’s run into serious trouble.”
On the other end, Howard responded instantly.
“That girl really that strong? She took down all Cross family elites?”
“Yes, sir. All of them. And now she’s beating Julian himself. This is serious. Only you can save her now.”
There was a pause.
Then-
“Good.”
Leomord blinked.
“Good?”
“Of course it’s good,” Howard said, sounding almost pleased. “That Cross brat has been arrogant for a long time. He even offended my boss recently-cough, forget that. I’m coming over right now.”
The call ended.
Leomord stood there confused for several seconds.
He offended… their commander?
So what Scarlett just did… was basically helping their boss get revenge?
Ten minutes later, Julian had already been beaten unconscious and taken away to the hospital.
By the time Howard arrived, Scarlett was already gone.
“What? She left?! And you didn’t stop her?” Howard snapped.
“I tried,” Leomord said miserably. “She said she didn’t have time.”
“Tch. She’s got attitude-I like that,” Howard muttered. “This talent, I’m recruiting her for sure. My boss will definitely be
interested.”
“Find her again. The moment you see her, report immediately.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Also,” Howard added, “we don’t have to wait. Go to her house. You know where she lives?”
“Yes.”

Howard slapped him on the back of the head.
“Then why are we wasting time? Drive!”
“Yes, yes! Right away!”
Thirty minutes later, they arrived at the Hayes family villa.
“There,” Leomord said, pointing. “She’s inside.”
He turned-and froze.
Because Howard was staring at the villa in complete shock.
“Sir.. what’s wrong?”
Before he could get an answer, a window on the second floor opened.
Scarlett leaned casually against the frame, looking down at her phone.
“Sir,” Leomord said quickly, “that’s her. Scarlett Hayes. The girl I told you about.”
“Damn it!” Howard slapped his own forehead hard.
The sound made Leomord even more confused.
“Sir, this-”
“How did I not think of this sooner?” Howard muttered to himself. “She took down so many Cross family elites barehanded, and even made an enemy out of Julian… how did I not realize it?”
Leomord was getting more and more lost. He had no idea what was going on anymore.
“Go! We’re leaving,” Howard said quickly.
“Leave? Sir, weren’t you planning to recruit her into the Obsidian Unit?” Leomord asked.
“Recruit your ass!” Howard snapped. “You want to recruit the Commander into her own Obsidian Unit? Are you out of your mind?!”
He smacked his forehead again. “I’m such an idiot. You didn’t hear anything just now, got it?”
But Leomord’s brain had already shut down.
All he could hear on repeat was Howard’s words.
She is the Obsidian Unit Commander.
God!
So she’s actually the Empire’s number one female war god?!
And he had just been thinking of recruiting her under his command… trying to get her to serve him and build achievements…
The more he thought about it, the more cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
“Why are you still standing there? Let’s go!” Howard said impatiently.
“Yes, yes… right away,” Leomord stammered.
His mind was completely blank now.
No wonder his son had been reassigned to the border military division. No wonder Scarlett dared to beat up Julian so openly
+15 Bonus
She was the Obsidian Unit Commander-dealing with a Cross family young master was no different from teaching a child a
lesson.
Even if the Emperor’s grandson stepped in to protect Julian, it might not even matter to her.
If these two forces ever truly clashed… the entire capital would be turned upside down. Gods fighting-innocent people suffering.
