CapĂtulo 1673: Chapter 536: Awarding of Honors
âThatâs right, there are two Generals, you didnât know?â
Vice Admiral Alifei looked at Su Ming with some surprise.
Such an important matter, every General eligible for the election, pays great attention to it.
âIâve been really busy lately, havenât really been keeping up.â
Su Ming chuckled in response.
âOnly you kid would have such confidence. Mo Xiu and Xinlad have been crazily promoting themselves recently.â
Alifei reminded Su Ming.
âI see.â
Su Ming responded casually with a smile.
Just then, Su Yuan came running excitedly.
âSu Ming, so you were here.â
âOh, you finally dare to come back, arenât you afraid of having your legs broken?â
Su Ming looked at Su Yuan and asked with a cheerful smile.
Upon hearing Su Mingâs words, Su Yuanâs expression stiffened, and he awkwardly said,
âDonât mention it, I kneeled at home for several days.â
âYou had it coming, did Grandpa and the others come?â
Su Ming replied with a laugh.
âYes, theyâre over there chatting with people.â
Su Yuan pointed towards the distance.
âOkay!â
Su Ming glanced over and replied.
At this moment, a commotion came from afar, and Su Ming and the others turned to look.
They saw Mo Xiu dressed in a military uniform, striding in handsomely, followed by Luo Kui and others.
The various congressmen and generals immediately stepped forward to flatter him.
âLord Mo Xiu, you finally arrived!â
âThis public commendation ceremony, the most brilliant rising star, is definitely none other than you.â
âIndeed, congratulations!â
âŠ
âThank you all for your compliments.â
Mo Xiu replied modestly.
âTch, whatâs so great about him? Clearly, the most formidable of the new generation should be you, this bunch keeps praising Mo Xiu.â
Su Yuan glanced over, complaining to Su Ming.
âWeâre all on the same side, whatâs the point of fighting over this.â
Su Ming responded indifferently.
âHow can that be? Itâs obviously you whoâs the strongest, why should he get the glory?â
Su Yuan replied a bit unwillingly.
âAh well, my relationship with Mo Xiu is quite good actually. But with you all debating like this, it makes it seem like weâre enemies.â
Su Ming said with a smile.
âAlright then.â
Su Yuan responded helplessly.
Su Ming was about to say something when he suddenly saw Goodman standing with two officers, wearing the Lieutenant Colonel uniform.
He was about to call Goodman over when he saw a man wearing a Colonel uniform, tall and muscular, leading several officers towards Goodman.
âWell, isnât it Goodman? What a coincidence!â
âMaluka, is there something you need?â
Goodman spoke up with his brows furrowed.
âOh, canât I just chat without any reason?â
âNothing for us to talk about.â
âWow, how come youâre still a Lieutenant Colonel! After this commendation, Iâll soon be heading to Cosmic Army Headquarters for training to become a Major General. I thought weâd be promoted together, have some company, but now it seems youâll still be a Lieutenant Colonel. Next time you see me, youâll have to call me General, haha.â
Maluka said smugly.
âHmph!â
Although Goodman was furious, he didnât retort, knowing that a rank can suppress a person.
In fact, Goodman felt very aggrieved. Originally, his military contributions were greater than Malukaâs. But since he was penalized and demoted, not only were his accomplishments deducted, but he was also not utilized afterwards. Having a blemish made it very difficult to climb back up.
âTsk, is this how you talk back to a superior? Forget it, adults shouldnât hold grudges against juniors, I wonât argue with you, haha.â
Maluka walked away triumphantly.
At this moment, one of Goodmanâs companions couldnât help but spit on the ground and said,
âDamn, what kind of bird is this! How can such a coward be promoted to Major General?â
âZhou Yan, donât conflict with him.â
Goodman advised his companion.
âAlright.â
Zhou Yan and others replied begrudgingly.
Su Ming wasnât sure what Goodman and Maluka were discussing, but judging by Goodmanâs expression, it wasnât anything good.
At this moment, Mia in a General Uniform walked over, spoke lazily to Su Ming and the others,
âYou brats are here, making me search all over!â
Su Ming and Rhein greeted Mia with smiles.
âMia, youâre here!â
Ferion and the others saw Mia, each with expressions somewhat unnatural.
âMia.â
âHey, isnât this Ferion, Jone, Alifei, long time no see.â
Mia said with a chuckle.
âIndeed, itâs been quite a while.â
Ferion and the others twitched their lips slightly, trying their best to avoid her, a meeting would be unlikely.
âSu Ming!â
A voice of surprise came through.
Miaâs smile immediately stiffened, vigilant as she turned to look.
Seeing Aifulin walking over with a face full of joy.
âGeneral Aifulin, you came too.â
Su Ming replied with a smile.
âYes, itâs been a long time since we parted at the Abyss of Descent.â
Aifulinâs cheeks were slightly flushed, she said softly.
âAifulin, did you take the wrong medicine today? Why are you acting all shy?â
Mia looked at Aifulin with an odd expression.
âMind your own business, I can act however I like!â
Aifulinâs temper was nearly ignited by Miaâs words, she glared at her angrily.
âUh, calm down, both of you.â
Seeing them about to argue, Su Mingâs expression stiffened, indeed they were foes.
At this moment, a polite voice sounded.
âLord Su Ming.â
Su Ming turned and saw Long Ying approaching, greeting with a smile.
âMiss Long Ying.â
Su Ming replied politely.
Aifulin immediately grew vigilant upon seeing Long Ying. Though others didnât know much about Long Ying, she was very aware.
