My words carried quite a bit of arrogance, which only deepened Commander Wood's displeasure.
"Are you claiming you're more capable than Ignacio Richard?" Commander Wood questioned with what appeared to be a mocking grin.
I shook my head: "I'm certainly no rival for Commander Richard, but regarding individual training methods, mine could be superior."
Just as I stated, the ancestral treasure vault my father left behind was simply beyond comparison to what Ignacio Richard possessed.
Commander Wood's expression darkened: "Ridiculous! Vincent, escort him out!"
"Commander Wood, Mason Raymond, he..."
"I told you to escort him out!" Commander Wood snapped.
Jasper Thompson had no option but to tug at my arm.
Once we both exited the office, Jasper Thompson remarked: "Mason Raymond, don't take it personally. Your statements were quite bold, and Commander Wood has always revered Ignacio Richard. It's only natural he wouldn't accept them."
I nodded: "I get it."
