The first meeting between Gu Hang and Commander Matins was hard to categorize as good or bad.
On one hand, both were disappointed in their hearts.
Yet to call it bad didn't quite fit either, since they simultaneously put aside their disappointment and exchanged words rather smoothly.
The governor always wore a smile, making one feel at ease like basking in the spring sun. Commander Matins and his Starfighters maintained their cold and austere expressions—but that was simply their style; they'd always been that way.
Gu Hang was able to compose himself because he had come to terms with his feelings. The Phoenix Battle Group was more wrecked than he had imagined, which indeed disappointed him; however, even if there were only seven of them, each was an incredibly strong man. He even wondered whether his own forces, now numbering over a thousand soldiers, combined with him as a Spiritual Energy user, could face these seven head-on in battle?
The chances seemed slim.
