Although our talk ended up being that long and it resulted in me promising to visit the two women's rooms for that purpose, the reason for our arrival in this place, an EDA Headquarters located in China, was still achieved in the end.
The officer-in-charge who we're waiting for showed up around 10 minutes later.
The man who appeared to be someone in his fifties saluted and bowed in apology for showing up late.
He didn't give an excuse for his showing up late and instead, he asked me for disciplinary action to be done to him.
He's a Rank 5 Mortal who already reached the threshold. And this means he's about to become a Transcendent soon.
I wasn't part of the EDA so I refused to do what he wanted. There's no point and I find my time precious enough to not be held off by that.
Waving off that disciplinary action, I asked him for the result of what I had them do a few days ago.
