1285 Let’s See How Long He Can Remain Arrogant.
Round Ball felt emotional. Many thoughts went through its head.
If Nangong Yue had that ability, he wouldn’t have been tricked and killed.
Comparisons were scary.
The latter may well have been a talent but he was nothing compared to Wang Teng.
“Is the National Military Medal that impressive?” Wang Teng asked in his heart.
“It’s a symbol of identity and honor. You can’t put it that coarsely,” Round Ball replied angrily.
“We need to face reality. Honors are fake; it’s better to be realistic,” Wang Teng said.
Round Ball’s mouth moved but he didn’t know how to refute.
This is infuriating!
He ignored Wang Teng.
“Hey, you haven’t told me what that medal is good for,” Wang Teng asked, feeling agitated when he saw the small guy go silent.
The more Round Ball said, the more curious he got.
That medal sounds amazing. It must come with some special perks for those who have it.
“You can check by yourself,” Round Ball replied furiously.
Wang Teng: (•́へ•́╬)
General Cameron didn’t offer any further explanation. Wang Teng would have to rely on his own performance to see if he could get said medal in the end.
But, everyone felt jealous after hearing what he said, including General Qi Yuanju and the other generals. They didn’t have the National Military Medal but had a good chance to receive it.
Berkeley and Haus were no exception; their eyes almost turned red in envy.
All of them were military martial warriors, so it was normal for them to yearn to receive the highest recognition.
However—before they could see any signs of getting the medal—the young man already had a shot at it.
In comparison, they felt they had nothing to be proud of.
The briefing ended and the generals left the commanding hall. Berkeley and Haus went over to greet Wang Teng and introduced themselves.
“Colonel Wang Teng, congratulations!” said Berkeley.
“Congratulations to you, too,” Wang Teng replied with a smile. Never slap a smiling person.
Berkeley felt the corners of his eyelids twitching.
Why did you congratulate me?
What’s there to congratulate?
They were the ones who lost terribly.
Haus wanted to say his praises too, but he hurriedly swallowed his words. He couldn’t say it out loud anymore.
Wang Teng could choke someone with words alone.
“If you have time, come and visit the Red Scorpion Force,” Berkeley said with a bitter smile. He would have left grumbling, but he knew that the young man wasn’t doing it on purpose.
“Definitely, definitely,” Wang Teng replied politely.
“You should also come and visit the Raging Bear Force if you have the time,” Haus said.
They were jealous but they couldn’t ignore Wang Teng’s potential, so they chose to maintain a good relationship with him. They wouldn’t act on impulse.
“All right, all right.” Wang Teng nodded hurriedly.
The older pair felt at a loss when they saw how polite he was.
They thought that Colonel Wang Teng was strange for some reason; his way of doing things was vastly different from the norm.
They bid farewell after some polite exchange.
Wang Teng met up with his deputies and prepared to head back to their camp. His lodging had been moved, being more comfortable than before.
His five followers were astounded when they heard about Wang Teng’s promotion.
A jump of two ranks!
Our commander is amazing!
Skipping a rank was rare. Normal martial warriors would have a hard time moving up a single rank, especially after becoming major.
Once the colonel rank was reached, the next was to become a general. Every general had to possess heaven stage ability and earn numerous merits. Not everyone could fulfill those requirements.
That is why the promotion to colonel was strict. One level was hard enough, let alone two.
…
A figure rushed out and blocked Wang Teng’s path as soon as they got to their camp. It was a young man.
There were a bunch of martial warriors behind the young fellow.
The guy looked at Wang Teng indifferently and asked, “Are you Wang Teng?”
