Jun stood up and patted the man's shoulder twice. "It's fine. No one died, so it's fine. You learn from your mistakes, and I'm sure you'll never let something like this happen ever again."
Jhong trembled in his place. He was ready to get demoted, or worse punished, for not being cautious enough. He wasn't expecting Jun's warm words.
"Yes! I will never let something like this happen again!"
Filled with admiration and respect, Jhong retreated back to his team. His team members gave him encouraging smiles as their bonds become stronger. In the future, the Alpha Team would be the squad where the elite gathered. It will become the most powerful and durable attack force for the First Army.
King watched the scene unfold with realization. The words spoken to him earlier weren't meant literally.
Not everyone was worth saving.
