The deputy team leader questioned, "How did you know Barbara had woken up and just happened to arrive in time?"
Luke smiled, "I had help from a noble person."
The deputy sighed, "In my life, everything is good except my luck; I've never encountered a noble person."
Luke thought to himself, it's not that you haven't met a noble person, it's that no one dares to be your noble person. Reid was not a man jealous of talents, as evident from his promotion of Luke.
If that was the case, why didn't he promote the deputy team leader, who knew him longer and had a better relationship?
It must be because the deputy himself had certain issues.
From what Luke knew about the deputy, the old man was bad-tempered and foul-tempered; in his youth, he might have been even more explosive than David—who would dare promote him lightly?
If a problem arose, one would also be responsible by association.
