"Hmm? Why are you here?" The Chief of Staff happened to be on duty today.
In the camp, as the wake-up call sounded, he put on his clothes and prepared to leave the duty room to wash up.
However, the moment he opened the door, he was nearly shocked by the line of people standing at the entrance.
Without making a sound, they stood there in formation. The communicator didn't even give him any warning.
Curses flew through his mind as he struggled to steady the basin in his hand, preventing it from slipping out.
"Reporting to the chief, our operation last night… it failed!" Platoon Leader Tian's voice grew softer, his head bowing in shame.
He couldn't bring himself to meet the Chief of Staff's gaze.
"What's the situation?" The chief of staff remained composed. He used considerable effort to lift the small, yellow basin, but his tone remained steady. There was no trace of anger.
