"Kude, I need an explanation."
As soon as he entered the office, Kude felt a piercing gaze upon him, accompanied by a deep male voice.
Kude turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man sitting in the high-backed chair gazing at him. His name was Fenli, the highest leader of the Skeleton Corps.
"Minister," Kude gave a standard knightly bow, "Sorry, I am late."
"You should apologize, but not for that." Fenli's face was grim, "Do you still remember the task I assigned to you a year ago?"
Kude nodded slightly: "I remember, Sir. You asked me to eliminate the rebel Gerard within the stipulated range."
"It's rare that you remember." There was a hint of sarcasm in Fenli's words, "Do you think you have succeeded?"
Kude was silent for a moment before he shook his head: "No, Minister."
