Before even the colonel could answer, the other majors who were present in the room were immediately flabbergasted by what they heard.
This was the first time where they had seen a soldier being given a mission by his superior, then being promised a reward after he had completed that particular mission.
And that reward that was promised, was like a compensation for disturbing that soldier. It was as if that soldier was not supposed to carry any kind of mission without compensation.
They on the other hand, were always trying hard to complete the missions because, if they failed, there would always be punishment that would come after that.
Since they didn't know the particular details that concerned the recruitment of Jack into the military, they were indeed surprised.
After all, at the moment, the colonel wasn't talking to Jack as a superior, but as a person who had gone to look for assistance from Jack. This was just incredulous.
