"Ugh, is this how you brown-nose your superiors?"
Flag Bearer Gao was utterly speechless.
Fortunately, a prime minister's belly could hold a boat. Flag Bearer Gao could not be bothered to seriously argue with them.
The quick-witted man said, "Flag Bearer Gao, your insight is unmatched. That Moon Shadow Legend is only one aspect of it. That damned legend has scared us out of doing anything at night, but you've been pressing us hard, so we had no choice but to work during the day."

"You are wise, sir."

Flag Bearer Gao sighed. "Testing your superior like this is not a very wise move."
