Ning sat before the Major General, looking around at the others who had gathered before him. Now that he was here, he could see another Major here too, beside the woman.

It was a middle-aged man with a balding hairline, clearly hidden by the thin hat he wore.

'So not even Cultivators can stop their hairs from balding away, huh?' he thought. Although, given how real Cultivators had trouble with that, these men were doing more than fine for themselves.

"Now that you are here," the Major General said. "We may proceed with business."

Ning waited for the man to continue.

"Chief Officer Ning, do you know what you are here for?" the Major General asked.

"No," Ning said. "Is it for promotion? Am I being rewarded for what I did? I expected a lot of things for my services but I never thought I would get to meet the Major General as a reward. It is an honor, sir."
