"I've heard your concerns, General Mei, and I will personally look into the matter. For now, I must ask that you leave us," General Gu said solemnly. "Unless, of course, you intend to threaten me as you did before."
However, Mei Feng made no move to leave. Moments later, the guards stationed at the northern gate were escorted into the office.
"What is it now?" General Gu sighed.
"These soldiers were on duty when the Scorpion Squad escorted Corporal Yuan out of the city. I would like to know why they ignored protocol and allowed them to leave without verifying their identities and mission details."
"Well? What do you soldiers have to say for yourselves?" General Gu turned to the guards.
The soldiers immediately lowered their heads.
"W-We were in the wrong! We were slacking off and did not bother to verify their identities!"
"And... they were all officers with well-established reputations…"
