Chapter 225 The Guard Squad Arrangement
ce suggestion there, Captain Orrick. Why not just say you want your squad to take first shift p>
“Yeah, quit beating around the bush p>
“Oh, like you’re being honest? Come up with a better plan then p>
“Typical, pointing fingers before anyone else can speak p>
“Shut it, you stinking bear. You’re just here stirring up trouble p>
“What did you say, you sneaky fox? You asking for a fight p>
“Bring it on. dumb bear! And you, stupid bird, quit staring before I yank every last feather off you p>

Chaos erupted among the rank-and-file behind them. The three captains stayed cool and collected, as if the shouting men existed in a totally separate world.
After hearing Flynn’s proposal. Zane fell into thought. He turned toward Garen, putting on a thoughtful act “What do you think, Captain Borin p>
Garen shot him a quick glance. “Whatever works p>
A faint smirk tugged at Flynn’s lips.
Zane rested his chin in one hand, pretending to weigh options.
He let out a helpless sigh. “I can’t settle this. Maybe we ought to ask what Ms. Kaelin prefers p>
Flynn and Garen both stared at him with flat, unamused expressions.
The Guide had left this decision entirely to them. Bugging her over such trivial stuff would make them look completely incapable of basic coordination.
“Then share your own idea, Captain Graves,” Flynn said.
Now it was Zane’s turn to smile.
The other two seethed inwardly. He was using the Guide’s good opinion as leverage, a total low-down trick.
On the walk back toward the ward, Yannis could not hold back his curiosity. “Ms. Kaelin… those friends you, mentioned. They wouldn’t be people from Black Spire, would they p>
Lyra gave him a sideways, cold glance. “Is there a problem with that p>
Yannis froze.
There it was again, that sharp, selective tone.
“…I was just wondering how you knew so many squad names all of a sudden. Now it makes sense p>
He dropped his gaze, not daring to meet her eyes.

A Tier-35 Guide could get him removed from his post as head of White Citadel with a single sentence.
Fortunately, she did not yet realize how much power she held, and no one had told her.
They had barely stepped inside the patient room when heavy, steady footsteps echoed from outside.
“Ms. Kaelin, Wastelands Squad reporting for guard duty p>
Lyra turned around.
“Perfect. Mr. Sterling, send the regular posted guards and Sentinels away. Captain Borin’s men will handle security from here p>
Yannis nodded. “Understood p>
She glanced over at Garen. “Also, send a few of your people to carry these gifts over to my residence. Set everything in the living room, leave the rest untouched p>
She gestured toward the mountain of presents stacked against one wall of the ward.
Garen answered, “Yes p>
Then he looked back at Yannis. “Sir, we do not have clearance for the Guide’s residential district, nor do we know her address p>
“I’ll get you the access passes shortly,” Yannis replied. “For now, I will lead you there myself p>
The Guide residential district was not somewhere just anyone could enter.
Within the White Citadel, only the chief administrator had the authority.
“Thank you for your trouble,” Garen said, calm and respectful.
Yannis waved a hand. “Move the things p>
Garen paused in the doorway and waited for Lyra’s cue p>
Lyra lifted an eyebrow, faintly pleased. “You may come in p>
“Thank you for your permission p>
Only after hearing her approval did Garen signal several of his men to enter and collect the gifts.
Burly, broad-shouldered Sentinels lifted huge stacks of gift boxes and carried them steadily out of the
room.
Yannis marched ahead to show the way, visibly annoyed.
Look how polite and proper they were trying to appear!
Some men departed with the packages. Garen and several others remained posted outside the door, staring straight ahead without distraction.

His massive frame stood out like a small hill, his broad build blocking most of the light.
watched his back. No surprise he was Gideon’s teammate. Tough exterior, but sharp and careful underneath.
Lior did not stay long. He sent Lyra a Star Brain friend request and told her to reach out for anything she needed.
Lyra nodded.
Once everyone else was gone, she walked to the doorway.
“Captain Borin, let’s add each other as contacts.” She held up her wrist unit.
Garen spun around and instinctively stepped back, keeping a safe distance so his imposing size felt less threatening.
He lowered his eyes and murmured his assent. He unclipped his Star Brain and tapped it against Lyra’s.
Beep.
The connection went through.
Lyra typed after saving his contact note. “Do you have the contact info for Captain Orrick and Captain Graves? Please forward them to me if you do p>
“Yes.” He bent over to operate his device.
Lyra studied him.
For such an intimidating giant, he behaved like a quiet, well-behaved kitten, answering everything with yes.
She struck up a conversation. “Aren’t you curious which of your former teammates I know p>
“Gideon,” Garen replied without hesitation.
Lyra raised her brows in surprise. “How did you figure that out p>
“The escort detail told us you returned from fifth Black Spire on a Grade-two planet p>
That made sense.
She asked curiously, “What else did you hear p>
Garen hesitated.
“It’s fine. You can speak freely. I’m just listening to gossip p>
Only then did Garen speak.
….Word is you cry quite easily p>
Lyra fell silent.

Who had started that rumor p>
aything else p>
Garen risked a quick upward glance. The other Sentinels behind him also stole subtle looks at her.
“The Sentinels held at Black Spire care a great deal about you p>
Lyra paused. “Go on p>
“And you care deeply for them. Especially Hadrien p>
“That’s all p>
Garen shook his head. “That is everything p>
Frumher
Zev, who had led the transport detail, had strictly forbidden his men from spreading more sensitive intel Only high-ranking officials knew the full story.
Lyra nodded.
“What are the contamination levels in your squad p>
Gideon’s condition had been serious enough to send him to the Black Spire. Why had they not gone too?
Garen answered, “We run self-checks every single day. We keep our readings strictly below the safe threshold of 65 percent p>
