Chapter 112


Stephen was usually cold and unsmiling, his demeanor strict and commanding.

He had a razor-sharp eye for detail, never failing to find flaws in Samson's reports and pointing out areas for improvement.

After listening to Samson's report, Stephen remained silent.

"You did well. You can go."

Samson was momentarily speechless.
