Chapter 7

Before I could refuse, my mentor led me outside.

A tall, handsome man in a military uniform stood before me, making me feel instantly intimidated. I reflexively saluted.

Watching their interaction, I couldn’t help but smile.

I knew that trying to act tough in such a dangerous environment was the most foolish thing to do, so I just followed my mentor’s advice and said, “Comrade, I’ll rely on you from now on.”

He froze for a moment, his bronzed face turning slightly red as he replied seriously, “It’s not about guidance, serving the people is my duty.”
