Khan couldn't help but fall silent when Raymond mentioned his father. His reaction was obvious, but he didn't care. The topic was too close to his heart to hide his feelings.
Three years had passed since the last meeting with Bret. Khan had grown a lot during that time, and not only in personal power. His knowledge had deepened, especially in fields connected to the Global Army and the mana.
At first, Khan had simply believed that the scientific department of the Global Army didn't need high-level warriors. Studies and experience could theoretically compensate for an eventual lack of personal power.
Yet, getting stronger was relatively easy for accomplished soldiers. The injections of synthetic mana could make up for a lazy character or a busy life, so only an idiot would believe that Bret had reached his previous position while remaining a first-level warrior.
