Chapter 909 -883 The principle is that we can’t let this stinky boy off the hook
“You don’t need to worry about this; I will definitely persuade him to enlist obediently, wearing a big red flower. But one thing, for the foreseeable future, he might go through some tough times. Transforming oneself involves shedding some skin, and as for our mother—”
“I’ll be the one to work on his mindset, and I refuse to believe I can’t cure this little rascal.”
“You don’t have to worry about his academic studies either. At Arlong’s age, he can still continue his education in the military. Even if he didn’t pass during the first year, as long as he performs well, he can try again. As long as he develops a sense of enlightenment and takes initiative in his learning, his grades will definitely be better than they are now. After all, he isn’t stupid; it’s just that his mind isn’t on his studies.”
Mario Yuno saw things very clearly.
Arlong wasn’t stupid or dumb; in fact, he had a bit of cunning about him. It was just that he had an aversion to studying. Whether Kiara or Giorno taught him, it went in one ear and out the other. But given time, once Arlong started to take an interest in learning, he would certainly be stronger than he is now.
“The exam difficulty over there is almost catching up to our doctoral examinations, the vacancies are so few, and one must pass both the training assessments and the academic evaluations—it’s even harder than the College Entrance Exam. With his current state…”
“Where there’s a will, there’s a way. The key is what experiences he goes through this year, whether anything touches him, moves him, or spurs his growth. Although the physical assessments might make it harder coming from that end, looking on the bright side, the academic entry scores are lower than what you’d need to pass the College Entrance Exam. As long as he puts in the effort and shows initiative, there’s hope. And even if he doesn’t pass, isn’t going through the process of trying itself a form of growth?”
As for which direction Arlong should choose in the future, neither Kiara nor Mario Yuno were worried. Even if he didn’t get into a military school, spending two years in such a positive environment and being guided by overall positive energy would ensure that the child wouldn’t be too bad off. Whatever he does when he gets out wouldn’t be worse than he is now.
“If we enlist from here, do we have a choice of where to go?” Kiara wasn’t too familiar with these things.
“The kid’s lucky, based on where his household registration is, it just so happens to suit him.” Not looking for the best, but for the toughest.
Because it’s hard work that trains a person.
“You’re not going to pull strings for this, are you? Please don’t do that.” Kiara didn’t want him to compromise his principles.
“No need for connections, usually those in the know don’t let their kids go there; it’s too tough. As long as he signs up, they’ll take him.”
“Let him suffer until he’s nearly dead, grind away all his ill-gotten lazy habits.”
The principle is that the kid must not have a single comfortable day during the first three months.
Arlong had it too comfortable.
Even though it is a broken home, Kiara’s mother and Kiara themselves didn’t lack in caring for him. Kiara also paid attention to guiding and disciplining her brother’s heart. Plus, when Kiara’s mother remarried, it didn’t bring many conflicts. So Arlong wasn’t as rebellious as other kids from broken families. But life was too comfortable, which easily made one lose their ambition.
Now Camden and Kiara had to join hands to shatter this guy’s comfort, to push Arlong to a place where there’s no turning back so that he would climb up on his own. In that kind of place, there’s no room for regret, no exit.
Camden’s words instantly cleared the blockage in Kiara’s heart, and she smiled at him.
“Comrade Camden, I’m leaving this matter to you. Are you confident you can complete the mission?”
“Yes! I guarantee I will complete the mission!” Mario Yuno replied theatrically.
“No, you have to stand at attention for me, I’ve heard you were very handsome back in the day. You’ve got to let me feel the glory of a proper salute.” Her heart’s troubles had eased a bit after the talk, and she felt in the mood for a joke.
Kiara truly loved seeing him serious, feeling as if the masculine hormones he exuded were off the charts.
“Yes, I guarantee I will complete the mission!” He stood at attention as she requested, and Kiara’s eyes sparkled like stars.
Upstairs, Draco Clark watched this scene, his heart brimming with hope.
His brother-in-law always listened to his sister the most, his future was definitely going to be great!
That night, Kiara finally met Jade Ross and his wife before dinner. Ross, in his mid-twenties, wore a white shirt and black trousers, looking quite refined with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. His wife seemed a year or two older than him and wasn’t very talkative.
Upon seeing Kiara and Mario Yuno, Ross was very enthusiastic, shaking hands with Yuno.
“Brother-in-law, you’re back!”
Yuno responded lukewarmly with a handshake and without a word, and Kiara didn’t speak either.
“Ah, my son-in-law is just a man of few words, don’t take offense, everyone, please sit down and eat!” Kiara’s mother didn’t understand why her usually attentive son-in-law was so aloof today and hastily tried to smooth things over.
“It’s fine, it’s fine, it’s good for young people to have a bit of personality.” Ross was very good with words.
“Let’s all sit down for dinner. Ross, why did you buy so much stuff today? We can’t eat all of this.” Kiara’s mother said warmly.
“It’s okay, it’s all ordinary stuff, not worth much. I’ll be needing Kiara’s help in a bit, though.”
Kiara saw the gifts they had brought, all neatly packaged in exquisite boxes.
Estimating the cost of these items, they were worth at least a thousand.
She exchanged glances with Camden, who nodded at her; it was just as they had thought.
Arlong was just like their mother—naive, believing everything that was said; and so was his mother. When Ross said the Hospital was expensive, which was why they sought Kiara instead, her mother believed it.
Looking at all these gifts, there was enough to consult with a psychotherapist several times over.
So this was an attempt to cozy up, huh?
One had to admit, Ross really understood how to navigate these social exchanges. Knowing that Kiara’s remarried mother had joined the Lyon Clan, a family not to be taken lightly, he wanted to forge connections. If he had directly brought gifts, it would not have worked, so he took a roundabout approach, claiming a need for medical treatment. Sure enough, her mother’s sympathy overflowed and engagement in conversation began, gradually leading to him cozying up.
Little did he know, this behavior was already irking Kiara.
She would have Camden appraise the items later and stuff the equivalent amount of money back to them, not allowing this precedent to be set.
Throughout the dinner, Ross’s slick nature was unmistakably on display as he constantly tried to ingratiate himself with Robert Johnson ‘Father’, who couldn’t be too harsh in front of Kiara’s mother, making Kiara feel like her social awkwardness was flaring up.
Arlong, the blissfully ignorant lad, still treated Ross like a great older brother, chatting away with him. Camden followed Kiara’s lead, giving cool responses to Ross’s questions. This cold demeanor made even a smooth talker like Ross realize when to back off, not wanting to keep applying his ‘warm face’ to their ‘cold butts’. Eventually, he too became reluctant to approach Kiara and Yuno, and his conversation with Arlong became sporadic.
After dinner, when Ross wanted to chat with Johnson, Kiara gave Camden a look, and he spoke up.

“Uncle Liao Walker, I was thinking of picking up some reference materials on law. Would you mind accompanying me to the Bookstore?”
“We still have guests here, let’s go tomorrow instead.” Kiara’s mother hadn’t picked up on Camden’s ploy yet.
