Wang Teng entered General Mokarun's office alone.
A stern-faced man with graying hair sat behind the desk, writing furiously as though busy with work.
He did not even look up when Wang Teng entered.
Wang Teng did not disturb him. He stood to one side and waited for a while, his gaze sweeping over the room.
It was a remarkably plain office.
Yes, "plain" was the perfect word for it.
Wang Teng had seen the lifestyles of quite a few Great Qian Empire officials, and they could be called extravagantly wasteful. This was the first time he had seen one so simple.
It seemed General Mokarun was not the sort of person who relished indulgence.
Perhaps only someone like that could remain stationed on a Defense Star for so long. After all, fighting the Darkness Breed on a Defense Star was no easy task.
More importantly, General Mokarun was actually a powerful World Lord Level Expert.
Thus, Wang Teng dared not be careless.
After a moment, General Mokarun finally raised his head from the desk and looked at Wang Teng, his gaze carrying a hint of scrutiny.
"Baron Wang Teng, born on a backward planet, yet causing no small stir on Emperor Star. I have long heard your name," General Mokarun said flatly.
Wang Teng revealed no expression, because he did not know what exactly the general meant. Was it praise or criticism?
So he could only remain silent and wait for what came next.
"The Empire has assigned you the rank of major," General Mokarun continued.
Wang Teng was indeed somewhat surprised upon hearing that.
A major's rank right from the start!
Was the Empire being that generous?
After all, he had yet to earn a single merit. Would others have objections to him being directly granted the rank
