“Hmph, look at the newcor, his face is whiter than a woman’s, and he’s better looking than those pretty boys,” he scoffed.
“You don’t even have to open your eyes to know he’s just like Lin Yixuan.
Pushed in here by powerful connections, normally it’s none of my business, but living together really pisses off!”
Li Fang sized up Su Mo, unabashedly mocking him.
Lin Yixuan’s face turned white with anger, but he had no way to retort; in fact, he really wasn’t qualified to be in the GT departnt.
He’d been forcefully squeezed in by his family connections, whereas despite continuous effort and training, his combat skills were truly lacking.
Thus after being assigned to the GT departnt, more often he was tasked with logistic duties.
Su Mo coughed and said to Li Fang, “Excuse for interrupting, but one shouldn’t judge a person by their appearance.
I was personally assessed by General Figerl.
I joined the GT departnt with excellent results, and if you have any doubts, you may ask the General himself.”
Although Su Mo had no obligation to explain to Li Fang, there was no need to make life uncomfortable for himself over sothing that could be clarified with a single sentence.
Upon hearing Su Mo’s words, Li Fang was also taken aback.
“You were formally assessed to get here?”
“Yes, and my rank is Lieutenant.
Before joining the GT departnt, I was an external staff officer in the Third Legion’s eleventh company; I just recently completed the Thief Plan!”
Su Mo said calmly.
Hearing Su Mo’s words, Li Fang saluted him.
“Sorry about that.”
“It’s nothing, I’m going back to my room to rest.”
“Okay.”
Li Fang put away his disdain and treated Su Mo normally.
His contempt for those who obtained their position through backdoor deals and the incompetent connections was because his comrades had once died because of such fools.

On the Black Brilliance, inside a solitary room:
Mai Han seed to be suffering from a nightmare, drenched in sweat, as patches of paleness uncontrollably surfaced on his skin.
His face, eyes closed, was unusually twisted and ferocious.
Suddenly, he sat up, gasping for air.
“Huff~ Huff~”
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Then, Mai Han went to the sink in the bathroom and opened the tap, continuously splashing water on his face.
When he subconsciously looked up, he caught a glimpse of his reflection in the mirror.
Startled, he jerked back, his expression full of terror.
However, when he collected himself and took a careful look in the mirror again, everything was back to normal.
Mai Han sighed in relief.
Knock knock~
At that mont, a knocking sound ca from the door.
“Coming.”
Mai Han walked toward the door and opened it.
There stood his adjutant, Gab, saluting him respectfully before asking with a concerned tone, “General, you haven’t been at your post for two days.
Are you feeling unwell?”
“Yes, I’m a bit under the weather and resting,” Mai Han replied tiredly.
“General, should I call a doctor for you?” Gab quickly responded.
“No need, I’m not that delicate, I’m almost recovered.
Is there sothing urgent?” Mai Han replied indifferently.
“It’s like this, Lord Putmi ca looking for you about our quota issue.
The Thief Plan was very successful, we seized a lot of materials and weapons, along with many other strange items,” Gab explained.
Hearing Gab’s words, the listless Mai Han’s eyes flashed with an unusual red gleam, then he said.
“What’s the issue with the quota?”
“Lord Putmi ant to say that whatever we want, we can request.
However, the inventory list from the supplies warehouse can’t be given to us; that information is top secret.”
“I understand,” Mai Han responded.
“Well, General, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave,” Gab said.
“Wait, Gab,” Mai Han suddenly called out to him.
Gab paused, slightly surprised, then stopped and looked at Mai Han, puzzled.
“Do you need sothing else, General?”
“Shouldn’t we have quite a few people from our original unit who were split off into the First and Second Legions?” Mai Han asked.
“We do,” Gab replied.
“Go find out exactly what the First and Second Legions have plundered, the more detailed, the better.”
“General, what do we need that information for?” Gab was sowhat perplexed.
Mai Han’s gaze held a strange light as he showed a peculiar smile and said to Gab.
“The Third Legion suffered heavy losses in this interception without much gain; whether we can recover in the future largely depends on this quota allocation.
That’s why we need to apply for it prudently; quality steel should be used on the blade’s edge, so we need to find out exactly which materials and weapons we’ve obtained.”
“Oh, I see what you an, General.
You’re saying that there’s surely a lot of good stuff gained from this operation, but the higher-ups are unwilling to give it to us, so we must find a way to fight for it.”
“Exactly!”
Mai Han himself didn’t notice his own smile was discordant, giving a creepy feeling..
“Understood, General!”
Gab responded without hesitation, as a loyal subordinate of Mai Han, he naturally didn’t notice anything unusual about General Mai Han.
Afterward, Gab turned and left.
Mai Han watched Gab’s retreating figure, his eyes flashing red as his skin began to move peculiarly, white patches reerging.
….
The next day, Su Mo got up early in the morning.
After getting dressed, he left his room only to find that the other three in the dorm had already left.
Glancing at the ti on his phone, it was still early before work began.
Such eagerness?
