章 565: Meet

STEP

Rui landed before the Jenken residence gently, facing the guards. Though his commission from Colonel Geringan had ended, the guards opened the gate for him immediately.

"Hahaha! Look who's here!" Colonel Geringan's voice was uncharacteristically boisterous. "If it isn't the man who helped my daughter become a Martial Artist!"

He shook Rui's hand vigorously with a wide grin.

"I merely offered guidance." Rui smiled modestly. "She is ultimately responsible for breaking through her limits, that too in the middle of a crisis, from what I hear."

Rui played down his contribution and impact on her growth. He didn't want to accept credit that could land him in hot water that he was not equipped to handle. If he truly did contribute to her breaking through, then he did not want people to know that.

Funnily enough, if he was sure that he didn't actually contribute anything, then taking credit looked more attractive.
