Lu Chao took the initiative to greet him, his expression solemn.
"Lu Chao." Ji Lixian smiled and nodded, his voice as calm as ever. "I've already received the report on Fortress Mountain City.
"Taking down the largest warlord faction in the northwest wilderness overnight—you did a great job."
"Thanks to your support, Mr. Ji." Lu Chao didn't take all the credit, speaking truthfully. "If it weren't for you and the Yao Capital authorizing me to mobilize the troops and supplies of Ring City, it wouldn't have gone so smoothly for me."
"Haha." Ji Lixian chuckled upon hearing this and gently waved his hand. "There's no need for such formalities between us. This is all your merit.
"I've fought for everything you deserve; otherwise, I wouldn't have delayed contacting you until now."
Lu Chao was slightly startled before he quickly realized what he meant.
