"You don't trust people much, do you?" The old general said with a raised eyebrow.
"Unless given a good reason to trust, I see no need for that…" Alex answered with a sigh.
The old general only sighed in response. He couldn't blame Alex for growing up to become this way. This is the type of world he was exposed to. It's only natural things turn out this way.
His eyes were pinned on Alex and he remained silent for a while before speaking.
"Let go of everything else… If we survive this war, I will like to secure you as an asset… my generosity means you owe me and because of me, I believe you won't turn your back on this country… Also, I request you take Blaze with you. He is hot-headed but he is talented. I strongly believe joining forces with you will help him learn a thing or two" General Firestorm said calmly.
