1280 Slippery Foot

Becker politely nodded at Smith and the girls with a smile before standing straight in front of Kieran, placing his right hand in front of his chest and bowing at 90°.

It was the grandest salutation among the Special Operation Division, only used in extremely special occasions.

Becker thought that now was a good time to use it.

"Thank you for saving our lives last night," the young man said solemnly in a very sincere tone.

No one understood more than Becker how precious life was since he had lingered around death last night, moreover, Kieran saved his entire team.

When he thought about last night, he realized that if Kieran hadn't appeared, they would have been wiped out, thus he showed more gratitude on his face.

Kieran didn't say anything.

He didn't say yes or no. He instead concentrated on his food, neglecting the young man before him. 

Becker was prepared for this though.
