Chapter 2650: Creating His Own Squad

"That’s all I have for you for now," Mei Feng said to Yuan shortly after giving him his new insignia.

Once Yuan left the room, the Ironwoman turned to stare at Mei Feng in silence.

"I’m not going to tell you, so don’t bother asking," Mei Feng said after a moment of silence, almost as though she could read the Ironwoman’s thoughts.

"You don’t need to," the Ironwoman replied. "I’ve already seen his status—his physique, the Inexhaustible Heavenly Refinement."

She paused briefly before continuing, "However, the fact that you don’t want him answering my question suggests there’s more to it than that. If I had to guess, you altered the information displayed on his status."

"..." Mei Feng remained silent, refusing to confirm or deny it.

"Do you not trust me?" the Ironwoman suddenly asked.

"This is not a trust issue," Mei Feng swiftly responded. "The fewer people know, the better. Just like how I keep my mouth shut about your background, regardless of who asks."

The Ironwoman smiled at her response before replying, "Fair enough."

She turned around and walked to the door, stopping once her hand reached the handle.

"By the way, regarding that thing we talked about before."

"What thing?"

"About having him join my squad."

"Have you decided to let him join, after all?"

"No, it’s the opposite," said the Ironwoman as she shook her head.

"Huh?" Mei Feng uttered in a puzzled voice.

The Ironwoman removed her mask to show Mei Feng a stiff smile.

"He’s too much for my squad. I think it’d be much better if he made one to lead himself."

"I see..." Mei Feng mumbled, understanding the Ironwoman’s reasoning and finding herself in agreement.

"And since he’s a Sergeant now, he can form his own squad."

"I have a feeling he’ll definitely go that route once he realizes the benefits..." Mei Feng said with a nervous smile.

Meanwhile, Yuan made his way back to his living quarters after leaving Mei Feng’s office.

"Huh? Your rank... you’ve been promoted?" Sergeant Quang, who waited for him outside, remarked with a surprised face after seeing his new insignia.

"Yes, it was a sudden promotion, but I’m not complaining."

"How long has it been since you joined the military? A year?"

"Just about."

"And to think it took me fifteen years to reach this rank..." Sergeant Quang sighed aloud.

"What are the benefits of becoming a sergeant?" Yuan then asked. "Even as a corporal, I already had access to missions that were normally restricted to sergeants, so I don’t really see what’s changed."

"Well... as a sergeant, you can create a squad of your own."

"Hm?" Yuan stopped walking and turned to look at him with one eyebrow raised.

"My own... squad?"

Yuan immediately realized the benefit of having his own squad. With a team of trusted soldiers under his command, he would always have people ready to accompany him on missions outside the city whenever he wanted.

Of course, he’d still rather go out on his own since that was the most convenient for him, but that wasn’t possible right now.
