"WHAT??!!"
Marcus shouted as the word burst out of his mouth, and his seat scraped loudly against the floor as he half rose from his seat, his eyes burning with fury and disbelief.
"One of our students was missing and you are telling me now?" Marcus shouted again, his voice echoing across the meeting room as his clenched fist slammed down on the round table with enough force to rattle the documents lying on it.
"Do you realize that if this word gets out, the academy's name will be dragged into the mud once again?" he growled with barely contained rage, his aura flaring as his anger continued to surge.
Andrea did not flinch at his outburst. She remained seated, her posture remained calm, and her expression was unreadable as she looked directly at Marcus.
"Calm down, Marcus. The academy works under me, not you, i don't question you with the Celestial Army's affairs, i don't want you to question me about the academy's affairs."
