Song Heping finally lifted his gaze completely from the list:
"Colonel Kote, you've said it yourself, that was months ago. As the saying goes, one should look at someone with new eyes after three days apart. Brothers who follow me, Song Heping, naturally need to upgrade from outdated weapons, keeping up with the times. Besides..."
He deliberately drew out his tone, his gaze becoming sharper.
"If your methods hadn't been so pathetic, so arrogantly clever when you tricked me back then, would I be here now, nitpicking like this?"
These words scorched Kote's most bloody scar like a burning iron brand.
The Tuz Valley incident was an indelible stain in his military career and the root of his hatred for Song Heping.
His fists clenched instantly, his chest heaving violently.
