Chapitre 75: Leading Strategist

Commander Yu Zhen silently leaned against a pillar in the hallway. He had crossed his arms and closed his eyes whilst listening to his peers converse amongst themselves.

"Why are we here again?" his close friend, Hu Dengxiao, lazily asked while twirling a small blade in his hand. He turned to his Commander who remained quiet and aloof—as if he had fallen asleep.

"Idiot, did you really forget why?" a woman sighed, resting her shoulders upon Hu Dengxiao's arm. "I can't believe you're our country's leading strategist when you have such a bad memory."

Hu Dengxiao rolled his eyes and said, "You're just jealous that you lost to me in the fight last time."

"Only because I pitied you," the woman, Lu Tianbi, retorted.

"If it helps, I was purposely trying to lose as well, so you can win, but who would've guessed I still won?" Hu Dengxiao grinned down at her when she roughly jammed her elbow into his side.

"You piss me off," she scoffed.
