Chapter 548 Do You Know Who He Is?
A one-eyed company commander saw the scene from afar and immediately shouted, “Hey! Li Heitan, we won’t say much about you and Wu Zhanyun going in, but how can you break the rules by bringing a stranger inside?”
Nearby, a burly company commander grumbled, “Yeah, General Zhang personally said that only those with his handwritten pass can enter.”
“This person has no pass; he can’t go in.”
They looked at the Demon Suppression Guards nearby— their subordinates.
With just a glance, the guards understood and loudly shouted,
“Yeah, yeah, bringing outsiders into the armory breaks the rules. Now you want to bring someone into the Grade A warehouse—that’s outright forbidden!”
“Sergeant Li, you usually follow the rules. Why break them today?”
“We urge Sergeant Li to stop this behavior, or we’ll have to report to General Zhang!”
Shen Mo observed the expressions of the leading commanders and listened to their words, immediately understanding most of the situation.
However, he said nothing and calmly smiled.
Such trivial matters didn’t require his words.
Li Heitan was stunned and asked, “Do you know who he is?”
The one-eyed commander sneered, “No one is allowed! Even if he’s General Zhang’s son, it doesn’t matter!”
The burly commander said seriously, “Rules are rules; they can’t be broken.”
The big gate opened a crack.
Wu Zhanyun stepped out, frowning.
“What’s all the fuss? Can’t we get any work done?”
Seeing Li Heitan, he said immediately, “Heitan, come quickly. This big guy is already in the final stage; he’s waiting for your inspection.”
“We must finish before General Shen Mo’s deadline…”
Before he could finish, he saw Shen Mo beside Li Heitan.
After many years, Shen Mo’s face hadn’t changed at all.
His eyes widened instantly.
“General… General Shen!”
He shouted, disbelief filling his tone.
At his shout, the one-eyed commander, the burly commander, and the rowdy Demon Suppression Guards all froze.
How many Shen Generals are there at Xuanwu Fortress?
Zhang Longxiang had publicly announced that if anything happened to him, Shen Mo could immediately take over Xuanwu Fortress as its new commander.
But Shen Mo had long been stationed deep in the Demon Suppression Sea, unseen.
Many tried to curry favor with Shen Mo but failed to find him.
Now, they actually saw him?!
The one-eyed and burly commanders stammered on the spot.
“Ge-general Shen… General Shen Mo…”
Shen Mo smiled. “Gentlemen, I do not have General Zhang’s handwritten pass. I only have my own identity token.”
He took out his Demon Suppression General’s token and casually waved it.
The two commanders nodded vigorously, “Yes, yes, of course!”
Xuanwu Fortress will be yours from now on. What place won’t you be able to enter?
They watched Shen Mo, Li Heitan, and Wu Zhanyun enter the Grade A warehouse, swallowing nervously.
The surrounding Demon Suppression Guards exchanged glances.
“Oh, what a nice day.”
“I’m hungry; let’s get some food.”
“So thirsty, I want some wine.”
One by one, they made excuses and vanished without a trace.
Only the one-eyed and burly commanders stood there, unable to move forward or retreat.
“Brother, let’s apologize after General Shen Mo comes out,” the one-eyed commander said miserably.
The burly commander covered his face. “I have no face left to stay at Xuanwu Fortress…”
“You think I do?” The one-eyed commander felt like crying even more.
They had just offended the future commander.
How could they still have a place to stand in Xuanwu Fortress?
